Hello Team,

Present i am working on the FME Version: FME(R) 2015.1.1.0 (20150715 - Build 15515 - WIN64).

I could able to zip a downloaded file through HTTPcaller by using feature reader and single writer(text file) in independent workspace. Selected output as compressed Zipoutput in the writer parameters.

But when i did the same thing with my master workspace which is having a custom transformers and ArcSDE writer at that time i am getting output as text file with the .zip extension which is not compressed. I assume that output just updated with .zip extension and it got corrupted. Can somebody help me to resolve the issue??

 

Thanks..

Nagendra

Hi @nshetty,

Have you tried using the FME Hub ZipArchiver transformer for this? That way you wouldn't need to read the files in with a FeatureReader (at least in the first example you gave). You can do the same for zipping the text file(s).

Are you currently using a Text File Writer and zipping the output? Does the translation log indicate any errors?

Thanks@chrisatsafe, Done my job with ZipArchiver. But i have one small query,

Can we delete input file after zipping?

Hi @nag,

Yes, you can delete the input after zipping by using the File/Copy writer. Check out Mark's answer on how to perform this task in this thread: https://knowledge.safe.com/answers/28113/view.html

I believe the only thing you will need to change is the filecopy_source_dataset attribute value to point to the data you are reading in. And just to re-iterate Mark's point, please test this before using this on your actual dataset.

Note: using something like the FeatureHolder after the ZipArchiver might also be helpful in case you want to ensure everything is zipped before deleting the file(s)
