Using the {user.shapefile} output key, what information is included in the log?

• A. The path to the Shapefile on FME Server
• B. A link to download the SpatiaLite database
• C. The path to the Shapefile on your local machine
• D. The path to the source shapefile

Answer: (A)

Using an output key like {user.shapefile} pulls a dynamic value from the workspace and places it in the log. For this particular key, the value is the server-side location of the resulting Shapefile after the translation runs on FME Server. In other words, the log shows the path to the Shapefile stored on FME Server, not a local file path, not a download link, and not the original source shapefile path. This makes it easy to reference or retrieve the produced file from the server after the job completes.
