Since our migration from FME Desktop+Server 2020 to the following versions, it is not possible to guarantee the order of execution for our readers.
With the first reader and its transformer I want to download three zips. With the second reader I read those zips, extract them and export them to a database. With FME 2020 this worked fine. With FME 2021 and 2022 it seems that the reader order in the navigator pane is not recognized. Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
Download the zip files to a temporary location using TempPathnameCreator before your HTTPCaller, and after the HTTPCaller process the files using FeatureReaders.
@stezi I think it's ust luck that this workflow worked in FME 2020. Although the order of the readers in the navigator does dictate the order of reading, any transformer can possibly interrupt the order of the data. Vote on this Idea if you want more control over this.
@geomancer is correct. In this case chaining a FeatureReader to read you Shape data after the HTTP caller will be the safest approach.
