Question

Can the output of an attribute file writer transformer be combined with the "zipped" output of a text file writer?

If I zip the output of the attribute file writer (example: c:\\test.zip\\photo.jpg) and then use a fanout expression on my text file writer to send the data to the same test.zip file.... Only the text file will be present in the output. However, if I write them to (2) separate zip files the process works. However, I need my output in the same zip file. Does anyone have thoughts why it does not work when they point to the same output file?

I tested it and got the same result.

I did find a work around, using a SystemCaller:

Hope this helps.

That is an interesting work around... Thank you very much for your response. I have never used SystemCaller before, but that could open a wide range of possibilities when deploying the solution to server.
