connect to FME servers postgres database for statistics.

Hello, I have fme server and and engines on two different machines in a distributed environment. I am trying to query the underlying postgres database directly through toad datapoint. It seems I need to connect to port 7082. I have not figured out the server name and location however. DataPoint is on my local box not on fme server.

There is a fault "Installing FME Desktop from the Windows Command Prompt" documentation

Hello, While configuring a license from the command line, I found this article.Only, I couldn't get it to work.The problem is, that you have to use fmelicensingassistant_cmd.exe in all cases. (Not just fmelicensingassistant)Could you please update your documentation accordingly?And maybe explain that you can retreive the license type bij running the --query command line. Kind regards,Fabian HofmanAxians

Move spatial data (both topology and attributes) from Smallworld to Azure postgre.postgis

I am really new to FME. I need to move spatial data (both topology and attributes) from Smallworld to Azure postgre.postgis. Additionally, I also need to take care of the "delta" data moves (incremental updates). Pls let me know your inputs. 1. Is an intermediate XML unavoidable? 2. Is it a plain lift & shift or should I be concerned with Data Modelling?

Arch Linux Package of FME Desktop

@DeWetAtSafe: I found your archlinux package of fme desktop 2017 at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fme-desktop-2017/I tried to re-pack fme desktop 2018 using the files for 2017 as a template, albeit unsuccessful.Would it be possible that you create a package for the fme desktop 2018, too? That would be most helpful!

Anyone else who get "LibraryLoad failed with error 87" when starting FME desktop?

Some really weird has happend to my Win-10 enterprise PC: Starting FME workbench 2018.1.1.2 fails with the "LibraryLoad failed with error 87" error message. Has anyone else had to deal with it? By googling it seems to be a generic windows issue. I can't find any FME - specific discussions about this error.My theory is that some windows upgrade has broken my FME installation.Happy for any help. If I find a solution I'll post a followup.

Floating Desktop Licence Monitoring Tool

Does anyone have a decent and free FME Desktop licence monitoring tool? At the moment, I have very little visibility how much of our licence we're using on a daily basis, and whether we're short of licences some of the time or more regularly.Two options I have tried, neither of which is ideal:Using the logfile on the licence server. This gives all the logins and logouts, and I assume even the attempts. But I don't have direct access to this file, so I need my IT department to send it to me on a regular basis. Plus, the first few lines of the logfile clearly state that it's not recommended for usage monitoring.The second option is described in https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Monitoring_Floating_License_Use.htm , where you set up a lmutil command. This I can put in a batch file, which I can run at regular intervals, and then spits out a time-stamped text file. It kind of works, but as it's on my machine,

"Use system proxy settings" ignores exception lists in Internet Options

We have FME 2018.1 when you choose “Use system proxy settings” it uses the system proxy ok, but it ignores any exceptions you may have set in Internet Options e.g. for local addresses that don’t use the proxy. The work around I have at the minute is to add each individual server on our local domain to the Custom Proxy Map in FME Preferences as having No Proxy however I can’t use a wildcard to do this the same way it is in the Internet Options exceptions list e.g. server1.domain.com rather than *.domain.com. Is this by design? Exception list in Internet Options Proxy Window and use System Settings in FME

UUID braces missing?

Hi,using FME 2019.1.2 (32bit) I encounter the following issue:Data Source is an ESRI FileGDB. Table 1 - has a GlobalID column and content is shown with braces in FME- has GUID column referencing GlobalID in table 2 and content is shown without braces in FMETable 2 - - has a GlobalID column, content is shown with braces in FME Now, when I want to merge both tables with FeatureMerger (tab1.Guid = tab2.Globalid) no features are merged.If I add braces to the GUID column features will be merged in FeatureMerger.As far as I understand GlobalID and GUID are the same data type in ESRI - so why are the shown / treated differently in FME? I'm aware of this posting about missing braces - but in the situation I described above its not just a display issue.It seems to me that GlobalID have braces in FME whereas GUID dont. And that prevents merging (joining) both tables easily. Rob

FME server docker with custom port number

Anyone who has an idiotproof guide to how I change the default port numbers for FME server docker install into else than 80 or 443? I plan to run this on a linux server with loads of other stuff, including a web server on port 80. Lots of other stuff that breaks if I put FME server on port 80. I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this use case... I am quite baffled that port number this isn't a parameter in the installation script.

Lost "Favourite Workspaces" after completion of FME Server upgrade - FME Serve engine detection issue

Hello,I've recently upgraded FME Server to the latest build (19801) because of the recently flagged security vulnerability involving Active Directory. Followed the required steps, i.e Backup / Restore Test, then Uninstall current Version / Install latest Version / restore backup. All went well.1) However my "Favorite Workspaces" have disappeared but not the end of the world.2) I'm still having to re-adjust the amount of FME engine required after server reboot (on going) which involves "Refreshing" of FME Server licence. I only have one for now but FME Server detects 2 after server reboot.Are points 1) & 2) known issues?ThanksSameer

Check if ArcGIS License is available

I have a customer who currently has only one floating license for their enterprise. We would like to configure our workflow such that it waits until the license is available to checkout and then proceed with the translations. Is there a way to have FME check if a license is available so that I can write a loop that effectively pauses the translation until the license is available?

How to configure dedicated highspeed server engine

Hello list,I have the task to configure my fme 2018 server to provide * a dedicated highspeed queue for fire department tasks* a default queue for all the other work The condition is that the highspeed tasks have to run "immediately" and should never be blocked/delayed/slowed down by workspaces running in the default queue. Is it correct to create two different server queues with separate engines and do the job assignment through different repositories for a) the fire department's workspaces and b) the rest of the pack, or are there other/better mechanisms available. Especially I am interested in the job priority parameter that I can assign to the queues. Best regards - Markus

Auto select floating license for FME desktop

Hi everyone,We're currently running the FME Workbench in an app-v package. As users launch the application through Liquit/Citrix, they first need to select their license (which needs to be checked out/borrowed from the license server). This is perfectly described in the following article: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Configuring_FME_Desktop_to_Use_a_Floating_License_3_Server_Redundant.htmThe customer is now asking/requesting if the steps where we select a license and assign it can be removed by automatically selecting the license (as we only have one license, there's no other option available at the moment). This would mean that the workbench would automatically launch instead of the pop-up from the Licensing assistant.Is this possible? If yes, do we need to define it in a configuration file? And which file would this be? Thanks in advance for all the help.
