I'm trying to write jpgs that are created from a blob directly to a folder in ProjectWise. I'm a newbie at this so maybe I'm just missing a step? Works fine when writing to C:\\Temp with JPEG Writer

Hi @holmgrenca,

You might want to check out the FeatureWriter to help out with this. The FeatureWriter transformer allows you to write data out mid translation and continue processing. If you replace your JPEG writer with a FeatureWriter, you will be able to connect the ProjectWiseWSGConnector to the FeatureWriter and streamline the process of uploading files to your Projectwise account.

The FeatureWriter will create a summary feature for each file that is written with a new attribute (_dataset) which stores the file path to the file that was just written. You can then set the File to Upload parameter in the ProjectWiseWSGConnector to the _dataset attribute to upload the file(s) you just wrote to ProjectWise.

I've included a sample workspace in case you wanted to test this out.

Hope that helps.
