Architecture

I'm getting a notification that my license is about to expire and wondering why.

Backstory:For some reason the traditional ESRI solutions for doing this have failed to move the Attachments as well, so I wanted to see if I could use FME to do this.I have a SDE feature class with 43,000+ records and 84,000+ attachments. I have successfully used FME to write new features to an SDE Feature Class and add attachments at the time of writing. This however would be moving existing features and their attachments to a new SDE Feature Class in a different database. The thought would be to read (with the "Ignore Relationship Info" parameter disabled) the existing features, the attachment relationship table, and the attachments and then use the current origin and destination relationship ids as the values used as the temporary relationship ids when writing them as new features and attachments into the new location.Question:Has anyone attempted something similar? Second, the attachments are not being read. The feature and the attachment relationship table are read

I am looking at running FlexLM on AWS to use our existing cloud infrastructure, but I am a bit concerned about the FME licencing server having issues when the virtual machine changes requiring a new .lic file.Is there a nice solution to running an FME licencing server on AWS, or will I be required to request a new .lic file whenever the hardware changes?

I am currently running FME, Windows Server, on an EC2 instance, build #16494. I am currently adding 32 FME Engines on Separate EC2 instances to increase my processing capacity, according to this recipe: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documenta...Question: Does FME server have the ability to Auto Spin up one, or multiple <engineHost> machines (These would be EC2 <engineHost> AMIs) as jobs enter the queue of the <coreHost>? That is, say I have 1 engine on the <coreHost>, and 5 jobs enter the queue. Can the <coreHost> launch one, or multiple, <engineHost> AMIs to process jobs in a queue? Such that, in this example, 5 separate <engineHost> machines would be spun up, 1 for each job in the queue.This is important for me, because it allows me to turn off the tap, and only pay for my EC2 instances on demand. Thanks.

Hi,I'v downloaded FME Server 2018 (fme-server-2018.1.0.3-b18552-win-x64) but when I start the installation, after copying the files the setup process stalls (no progress) and stops half way. No errors/signals/etc.What's going wrong? My user is admin. Thanx in regards, Erwin

Hi experts,I am currently looking at allowing my FME server jobs to write data into an access controlled UNC path.I had looked at the following documentations on the changing of the "user account" that is running the FME server instance.http://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/ReferenceManual/Directory-Account-Permissions.htmhttp://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Running_FME_Server_Engines_Under_Different_Account.htmThe question is, in order for the FME server to function correctly, do I need to change the "user account" used to run the FME windows services for all the 4 services? FME Server CoreFME Server DatabaseFME Server Web ApplicationFME Server DatabaseOr will the changing of the "user account" used to run the FME Server Core will allow my jobs to write to a controlled UNC path with breaking any other connection? Thanks!

I am licensed for only one engine but a second engine is created automatically when I use FMEJobSubmitter. Is this normal? Does this count as using two licenses? If I run this job on a server that already has two engines will both licenses be in use? Thanks

Hi all,We would like to deploy FME Server and be able to read/write File Geodatabase and ArcSDE (ArcGIS Desktop 10.4) and Oracle spatial/non-spatial (Oracle 11). Both are currently 32 bit applications. I am not sure about FME Server 32 or 64 bit and compatibility with the formats we want to use.I did some research and came up with two deployment scenarios (single machine install):Scenario 1 - mainly 64 bitOS 64 bit Windows (as supported: https://www.safe.com/fme/tech-specs/) FME Server application 64 bit (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/112/which-version-of-fme-desktop-for-windows-should-i.html)FME Server Engine 64 bitOracle Client 64 bit (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/163/oracle-clients-for-fme-running-on-a-64-bit-os.html)ArcGIS Desktop 10.4 32 bit with connection to floating license server (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/24153/using-fme-server-with-esri-software.html)Scenario 2 - mainly 32 bitOS 64 bit Windows (as supported: https://www.safe.com/fme/tech-specs/) FME Se

I'm setting up a dev server and wanted to import a certificate. I followed the steps but when i import keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore tomcat.keystore -file <name> I get an error "signed fields invalid". Also, because the IT Contracting agency manages the certificates they applied it to the server i needed to export the PFX file to use in the keytool script. Any thoughts???

How many instances of the EMF can be run at the same time? I'm using Windows 2012 R2, and every time I open another instance of FME, it opens one that is already running. I can never open another instance. I'm using a temporary license on another machine, is it because of this?

Trying to set "WeekOfMonth" attribute for ALL features based on attribute "feature[-1]._4weekly_cycle" value, which today is "2". I am using the adjacent feature attributes capability in "AttributeCreator" transformer. Getting "Bad variant index in get" error in log file. If I set default value to "2", it works. Something not write with handling "feature[-1]._4weekly_cycle" value.

I am have been trying to stand up a FME Server Docker environment to migrate our current FME Servers setup too. I am using the 2018.1.0-20180801 image builds that include a Nginx container to handle SSL. I have also converted the provider docker compose yaml file to a Hashicorp Terraform configuration (as we use this technology for provisioning/orchestration). We have also made a few modifications to the FME Engine container so that a persistent Kerberos ticket is created on the container for authentication to our MS SQL Server databases. This issue I am seeing with both our modify FME Engine image and the default FME Engine image is that any active engine running on one of the FME Engine containers will eventually shut down. The FME Engine container will still be registered as an engine host with the FME Core but no active engines will be running on the FME Engine container (even though 1+ are requested). I can restart the engine service on the container, and it will appear as an acti

We have 2 floating licenses FME desktop in use. During the night we run workbenches on two servers. Normaly no problem but now we get licensing errors. Is it possible to show a logging file of the license usage during a certain period?

I am look at installing the Floating License Utility "Floating License Installer for Windows 64-bit build: 11.15" and would like to know whether it is supported for install on Windows Server 2016? I can't seem to find any pre-requisite doco for this.Cheers,

I am attempting to use FME to automate the process to create and upload data into our Socrata Open Data account.I have been following the details in this guide: https://dev.socrata.com/blog/2014/10/09/fme-socrata-writer.html and other similar demonstrations from SAFE software.I am receiving a consistent error within FME which states 404, 'User not found' when the browser login credentials for Socrata are provided. This error is generated when trying to create a new dataset and when updating an existing one on Socrata. I have noted that the FME output states that it is using an app token which is different to the app token which is generated in the associated opendata.socrata.com account. I have not been able to locate any options to correct the app token. Another user identified the same issue here: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/3557/socrata-writer-app-token.html although understanding was that app tokens were not required for the HTTP Basic authentication which the FME

I have an FTPCaller configured and attempting to download a file from an FTP site. I've installed the certificate on the machine that I am running this workspace. I receive an error stating: <HEAD><TITLE>FTP Error</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="white" FGCOLOR="black"><H1>FTP Error</H1><HR> <FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial"><B> Description: Policy requires SSL. </B></FONT> <HR> <!-- default "FTP Error" response (502) --> </BODY>  I setup a site in Filezilla (same machine) and it works fine. Any thoughts? @takashi

Good morning,I am having a problem running a workbench on FME server. I receive an error code that says "File C:\\Program Files\\FME\\metafile\\searchEnvelopeNative.fmi could not be opened". The workbench runs fine on desktop but not on FME server. FME Server is running on a build of 2018.1.0.1 Build 18528 and FME Desktop is 2018.1.0.0 - Build 18520.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,David Prosack

I have loaded FME 2018.1 64 bit and need to add attribute indexes after loading a filegeodatabase. This can be done with an (existing) shutdown python script. As long as the python compatibility is set to 2.7 or 3.4+ to get rid of the FME warning. The script needs to be python 3 which simply requires brackets around any print statements. But now that FME calls the newfangled ArcGISPro 64 bit arcpy libraries I have to log in the the Esri Portal first. How can I do this from FME? (I did find a workaround by simply starting up ArcGIS Pro which requires a Portal login and then it did run successfully)I tried arcpy.SignInToPortal_server("username","password", "") but that function was not found. Besides imbedding the credentials in the script is not ideal.  

I've got FME workbench installed and licensed on a CentOS7 machine an Amazon EC2. I've successfully run models through command line, but I would ideally like to have the actual FME GUI. I followed these instructions to install a the gnome gui and connecting through VNC https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-remote-access-for-the-gnome-desktop-on-centos-7#step-8-%E2%80%94-securing-vnc-sessions-through-ssh-tunnelingWhen I click on the FME workbench application in the gui it crashes when it tries to load the main window.Do I just need to use something other than gnome? 

Is there a reason why this wont work: fmeserver.init() for my server i.e. "http://my_machine_name"? This seems to work for server url: "https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com".Anything simple that I am missing here? No issue with the tokens. I don't get any error message. It just doesn't seem to initialize my server.

How to configure HTTPS and add CA issued SSL certificate to docker containers of FME Server 2018?Is there a better option than configuring manually and adding persistent volumes for changed folders?

Hello,For a distributed installation of FME Server, what are the database requirements? I imagine it will vary a bit based on number of jobs, engines, and such, but is there a rough guideline for the volume of data the server will need to store?
