Is there a way to customize the translation message after a workspace was successfully ran by the end user from the FME Server web interface? Rather than writing to a download file, I would like to just show a custom message after the translation was successful. This would be similar to how I use shut-down scripts on FME Desktop to bring up pop-up windows with statistics and information from the logfile and workspace after the translation was ran.

You can try setting up a custom HTML page and publish the workspace to a Data Streaming service. Any writing of actual data that you need to do can be handled by FeatureWriters.

Writing HTML in FME is a bit clunky, I've tried the XMLTemplater for that but no matter how many validation options I deselect it still insists on validating the HTML as XML and it pretty much always fails so I usually resort to a bunch of AttributeManagers. What actually helps is design a template first in, for example, Dreamweaver and then copy that in the AttributeManager and just fill in the blanks with your attributes.

That is a good idea! Thanks @redgeographics
