Hi - I have a simple job that copies three spatial layers to one folder and three associated information PDF files to another folder. It all gets combined in a zip file for the user to download via an e-mailed link.

I run this job on FME server 2012 and I get:

Important\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-title-applications-dqs-16-06-16.pdf

Important\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-titles-dqs-16-06-2016.pdf

Important\\nsw-doi-exploration-and-mining-title-applications-metadata-05-09-16.pdf

Important\\nsw-doi-exploration-and-mining-titles-metadata-05-09-16.pdf

GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.dbf

GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.prj

GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.shp

GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.shx

GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.dbf

GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.prj

GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.shp

GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.shx

 

But the same job, upgraded and run on FME Server 2018.1 now includes the writer names in the paths of the zip files:

FILECOPY_1\\Important\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-title-applications-dqs-16-06-16.pdf

FILECOPY_1\\Important\\nsw-dept-of-industry-exploration-and-mining-titles-dqs-16-06-2016.pdf

FILECOPY_1\\Important\\nsw-doi-exploration-and-mining-title-applications-metadata-05-09-16.pdf

FILECOPY_1\\Important\\nsw-doi-exploration-and-mining-titles-metadata-05-09-16.pdf

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.dbf

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.prj

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.shp

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\MapUnits.shx

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.dbf

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.prj

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.shp

GENERIC_1\\GSNSWDataset\\TitlesCurrent.shx

 

Can anyone please suggest what, if anything, I can do to prevent the writer names being included in the paths?

Thanks.
