Non-hardcoded feature reader parameter fails in FME Server

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a workspace that takes multiple user parameters and reads Esri Shapefile using the feature reader. But I have problems using the Feature reader when the dataset is not hardcoded.

 

This works fine, no errors:

$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\$(ENV_NAME)\\sve_1milj_Sweref_99_TM_shape.zip\\svk\\riks\\*.shp

 

But if I create another parameter called FME_SERVER_FILE_PATH and set its value to sve_1milj_Sweref_99_TM_shape.zip\\svk\\riks\\*.shp. So that the feature reader uses the dataset:

$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\$(ENV_NAME)\\$(FME_SERVER_FILE_PATH)

 

The Error I get is:

Shapefile Reader: 'C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\data\\3DViewer-Dev' is not a valid Shapefile and cannot be read

 

Is it something I'm missing or maybe a bug? I am using FME Server 2021

Found out that I could not use the name that starts with FME_SERVER, when changing the name to something else the workspace run without problems. I guess FME_SERVER is reserved or something?
