Im trying out the new Dynamic workspaces in automations. Running the workspaces works great! The problem i'm running into is as followed:

 

The dynamic workspaces are writing out files to a folder. Depending on how often the dynamic workspace will run, several files can be created.

Ones the workspaces are done, i want to start another workspace that takes all the files in that new output folder and send them by email.

The workspace that sends these files out should only run once! But, since dynamic workspaces run several times both output ports will yield x amount of output features, triggering the last workspace multiple times.

 

I thought of using a merge action but when you try to connect that to the output port of a dynamic workspace an error occurs: "Cannot connect content router ports to merge". (this also happens trying to connect it to the automation writer output port which has the attributes i need).

 

Is there any way to only trigger a workspace once after all the Dynamic Workspaces are done?

Hi @jurgen​ 

You could check out this webinar which contains a section that could act as a workaround that may help with your problem. Also there is currently and enhancement request for this feature reference code FMESERVER-14515. I have mentioned your question in the enhancement request so hopefully that will help in the process.

Thanks, Daragh
