Architecture

Hi FME gurus, My IT department scanned through our FME Server IP and found some (high) vulnerabilities. The security officer asks me to upgrade from current version to the desired versions for several components:component versionApache Tomcat9.0.24 -> 9.0.31Angular.js->1.7.9. or higherjQuery->3.4.1.Yepnope.jsEnd of life -> …Bootstrap3.3.7 -> 4.3.1FYI: I upgraded three weeks ago to FME Server 2020.0.0.1-Build 20202 - win64 with an express installation on the same virtual machine. Is the choice for the current versions substantiated? Is there an easy way on the FME Server Virtual Machine to upgrade these versions with few lines of code through CMD?  Kind regards, Jan

Hi,I'm troubleshooting an error I'm getting back from an HTPCaller response and would like to view the transactions in Fiddler. I am having trouble routing the traffic through the Fiddler proxy though. Does anyone see what I'm missing?FME Settings:Fiddler Settings:I also installed and trusted the Fiddler root certificate and added loopback exemptions for the running AppContainers.Results from the reject port of HTTPCaller:(ps1) I should add that the HTTPCaller is using NTLM authentication in case that matters. I think the the FME Proxy settings should be fine with no auth, as none is set on the proxy itself (Fiddler), but have also tried with credentials in case they were passing through to the caller.Thanks!Corey

Hi all.Our IT department has recently moved our mail system to Office365, and so all the emails sent from FME must now use a new endpoint and credentials.I've tried to run a super simple workspace, and it fails: Emailer_Søgeord: <class 'ssl.SSLError'>: [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1076)Our previous setup didn't use SSL, but the new one does. But apparently FME cannot handle it ?The only items changed are: host, port, encryption (from None to SSL), and sender's username and password.Using FME 2020.0 and Python 3.7+, and I have upgraded the Emailer transformer from 2017 to the latest.Please advice. Cheers.

Hi folks,I have a question of a customer :We are preparing the FME version upgrade for the coming weeks / months.In this context we ask ourselves the question of how to obtain a new license file for the new license server.Is it possible that the two versions coexist during the tests and the final changeover?

Hi - I wanted to find out if a trial license will be lost if FME Server is upgraded? Is an uninstall/re-install and then restore config backup.Will this loose the trial license? If so - how does one continue the trial?e.g. FME Server 2020 installed and wanted to upgrade to 2020.0.01 which I see was just released.Thanks

We are new to migration from Windows FME to Linux and welcome suggestions and recommendations.

Hello I am trying to install FME-desktop-2019 and I am getting dependency error as follows: Could you help to instal FME in Linux? or this is a no go OS for FME?  

Hi,Once I receive the new safe.lic file and activate the new license server, what happen with the old one ? Does it still remain active until I shut it down or will it immediately stop to work ?Thanks

Can someone help me resolve the following error when I try installing FME Desktop:An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C\\...\\Document\\FME 

License server runs on a Windows machine. We have 20 floating licenses. When a user tries to borrow a license from within Workbench we get the following message (both on pc and Mac)

Was previously running Windows 10 Pro build version 1809, until yesterday when Windows decided to update me from build version 1809 to build version 1903. This update seemingly has deleted FME Desktop application, though the other FME application such as Data Inspector and Quick Translator are still present.I launched FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 and tried to enter in my Home Use License serial number into the Single-Fixed-License field. But it returned this error.""Invalid trial activation codeThis trial activation code has already been used to generate a license. If you wish to obtain a new trial activation code, please visit www.safe.com/trial."" The license is valid for another two months. So my license isn't expired either. I also tried pointing the FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 to C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses since the license file still exists. That returned "License not valid on this computer" So I'm at a total loss, any

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.

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

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?

Hi,I have a client who has no troubles installing FME 2018.1.2.0 (build 18590) in A Citrix environment. He tries to upgrade to 2019.0 (build 19238) and get a error message:I have not had the time to troubleshoot too much, anyone seen similar and knows what might cause this problem?

@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!

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.

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 

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
