Using Dynamic Filename as parameter on FME Server

E

Hi,

I have a workspace which looks at all files in a location (using a "Directory and File Pathnames" reader), picks the file that I want (using a tester), reads the attributes with a feature reader and writes it to a database. This works fine when I run this workbench in desktop.

When I publish the workspace to FME server it requires the user to fill in the Source Dataset. This workbench is triggered by another one, so it fails at this step. Is there a way to use an attribute as the default source dataset on FME Server?

Thanks in advance

If you run it through an FMEServerJobSubmitter or as part of an automation you should be able to set the parameter for the source data using a value that's coming from the first workspace.
