In FME Workbench 2019 I am trying to use the FTPCaller as below

enter image description here

It runs but I don't see an update to the file. The first version of this was manually downloaded into the folder as the "Target File" didn't allow just a folder to be used and there had to be a file in place. This should probably be changed to download location and download file name.

The log is below...I have changed some links for security.

Feature Caching is ON
The workspace may run slower because features are being recorded on all output ports.
 
    Command-line to run this workspace:
        "C:\Program Files\FME\fme.exe" "J:\Property Update FME Model\Property_BPoly_Update.fmw"
              --SourceDataset_MAPINFO "J:\Property Update FME Model\Input\Cassowary Coast RC\cassowary_coast_i_bpoly.TAB"
              --SourceDataset_MAPINFO_5 "J:\Property Update FME Model\Input\Property_Template.TAB"
              --SourceDataset_MAPINFO_4 "J:\Property Update FME Model\Input\Cassowary Coast RC\cassowary_coast_i_fpoint.TAB"
              --DCDB_Data "<at>DateTimeFormat<openparen><at>DateTimeNow<openparen><closeparen><comma>%d<solidus>%m<solidus>%Y<closeparen>"
              --DestDataset_MAPINFO "J:\Property Update FME Model\FME_Scratch"
              --DestDataset_MAPINFO_2 "J:\Property Update FME Model\FME_Scratch\SSA"

The reason the file does not update is because you have Feature Caching switched on. If you have run the workbench before, the part which hasn't changed and had no changes upstream won't run again. It's results are in the cache.

You can switch off Feature Caching under Run --> Enable Feature Caching.

  • Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. I've attached the FMW with an opensource link to an FTP download in the following link - does this work for you? drive.google.com/file/d/1y9Nlo_LvIIW0XyhMx6KweQ8q5atdct0g/…

    It won't run as you uploaded it, because the workflow is missing an initiator. The red colored inputport of the FTPCaller is the indication of this. If you place a Creator before the FTPCaller an connect them the inputport turns grey. A file of 80 MB got downloaded. Commented Aug 12, 2020 at 6:21
