Hello, 

 

I’m using Feature Writer to save my output in mdb format. I want to name the output file by User Parameter.

 

When I run the workflow in FME Form, the file named by my input user parameter is generated correctly. When publishing to FME Flow, the user parameter is ignored and the output file is named randomly (e.g. “FME_5C2B2C70_1739440402445_7677.mdb”). In the log I can see that the parameter is not read, so the output name is empty.

 

This is how it looks like when publishing the workflow:

  

I’m using FME 2024.2.2

 

Do you know if this can be fixed?

 

Thank you for your replies!

Looking at the screenshots you’ve provided that should be fine.

How are you triggering the job in Flow? It could be picking up the default parameter value and using that.

 

Possibly not the case, in previous versions (a few years ago) I have seen issues with parameter values not being picked up correctly. The fix was to use a ParameterFetcher then use the attribute value instead of the parameter
