Hello,

I am trying to create a workflow reading a file from one path, rename to respect Autodesk Forma naming convention and upload to the Autodesk platform with a new name.

However, I can only input the existing full path (so with the not yet adapted name) in the AutodeskDocsConnector.
I don’t want to create a local intermediate copy, and wish to run this on Flow later, any idea ?

Thank you !

Best idea I can think of from AutodeskDocsConnector is to upload from attribute.
AttributeFileReader will encode the file into an attribute

If that doesnt work then use will need a temp location and you can use TempPathnameCreator to generate a temp path/filename (use Basename/Extension to enforce your new name. On Flow you can also target $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP) if you want a predictable temp location.

StringConcatenator (or AttributeManager) to assemble new_root + '.' + ext
