Architecture

I don't have a GUI to interact with... only command line!

HiI'm having trouble using connections to SQL Server since upgrading FME server to 2017. I'd like to use windows authentication, and got this working on 2016.1 by changing the account that one of the FME services ran as (using a service account), and giving that service account access to my database. I've tried this in 2017 and it doesn't seem to work - it stops various parts of FME Server from working properlyAlso I can't seem to find any documentation for FME Server 2017. Is there any?ThanksAdam

Trying to install FME2017 on linux and get this error-message:Dependency not satisfiable: libpng12-0Have tried to google for it to be installed - but this seems to be a very old library - the newest is 16-16. Any workaround for this?

Windows 10 64bit machine running 32bit FME version 2016.1.3.1(20161207 - Build 16716 - WIN32) and I am trying to connect to a DB2 non-spatial database using ODBC.  I have installed IBM iAccess Client Solutions version 1.1.0.15 and created a 32bit ODBC connection to the server. When I add an IBM DB2 Non-Spatial reader to the workspace, it fails with the following error: IBM DB2 Non-Spatial Reader: Database version '7.1.15' not supportedI tried using the instructions on this site at https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/675/creating-an-odbc-connection-to-an-ibm-db2-database.html but they will not work on Windows 10.Is this something I can work around or am I beating a dead horse. Thanks in advance.John

I do not use my FME Cloud account anymore, but I still get invoices. How can I close the account?

Hi,Perhaps someone has come across this before. I am trying to license ArcMap on our FME Server.FME Server 2015 is installed with the FME Server license Manager on the same server (server1 )using port 27000ArcMap license manager is installed on server2 also using port 27000.Port 27000 is open on each server. Both machines are running Win 2008 Server.We install ArcMap on the FME Server (server1) and try to license it using the license manger on server2 but I get an error that there is no License server running on the ArcMap license manager server.The FME Server and ArcMap license managers are on different servers. Therefore I would expect that I can connect to the ArcMap license manager from the FME server even though they both use port 27000 as they are separate servers. Can anyone confirm this?Thanks,Annette

I am logged into my Linux machine as root, and tried to run the installer. sudo ./fme-server-b16716-linux-x64.runAfter granting all permissions, it still doesn't work.sudo chmod 777 fme-server-b16716-linux-x64.runsudo ./fme-server-b16716-linux-x64.runThis is the error I received:Verifying archive integrity... All good.Uncompressing FME Server 2016.1.3.1................................................................................/usr/safe/./fme-server-b16716-linux-x64.run: line 403: ./install.sh: Permission deniedWhat can I do?

I recently installed the new ArcGis (10.5) on our system. ArcGis is working perfectly well, but since then FME isn't able to execute ArcGis related (GeoDatabase) tasks. The Error call is: Unable to check out an Esri license. Please ensure ArcGIS is correctly licensed and that there are available licenses. Is this a known problem and what can I do to solve it (except for waiting 2 weeks for the new FME release). The only thing I can think of is reinstall the older ArcGis.

All,I have read and implemented the docker installation of FME server on Docker Engine as published by @GerhardAtSafe. https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/24815/deployment-of-fme-server-using-docker-toolbox.htmlMostly the installation, licensing and engine management runs fine. However, I am having an issue using the job manager to kill jobs. Any time i try to terminate a job I get error communicating with FME server host (hostid). Connection Refused. I have reason to believe this is to do with the fact that the hostname of the engine and the web/core are different (as they are containerised) do kill requests get sent on a different port address? Is this an issue with the docker configuration or has anybody else had the same issue? Appreciate any insights you may have had.RegardsGavin Montgomery

hello,i have a strange request and i am thinking if FME can help me in anyway,we have walked down a railway track and taking a video (360) allowing us to see the condition of assets eg a signal box, i have also got a simple ployline in LL84 showing the path.the request i have is when someone clicks on a point on the line they will get the video related to that area. could FME server crop the video?can FME be used to scale the video eg the start of the video is the start point of the line and the end of the video is the end point of the line?i know FME is not a video editing tool, but any help or ideas would be much appreciatedthanks

HI for obtention of licence code in case of floating licence for FME Desktop, I would like to know if the informations contained in the MD-DOS command : ipconfig/all,are sufficient....I won't be able on site to be connected everytime, so I would ask the customer to type this command on the server computers where the licences will be installed.Regards

I'm trying to install FME desktop on a VM that's configured with a very small C:\\ drive which contains just the OS. All the program files are installed on the D:\\ drive. When prompted for installation folder I'm changing it to the D:\\ drive. I'm getting an error that there is not enough space on the drive, then I get an error 2755. I've tried installing it on my own workstation, on the C:\\ drive and it installs properly.

FME desktop application disappeared after upgrading Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. Reinstall FME 2016 on the new OS failed. Safe tech support confirmed that 16.04 had not been tested. If someone has had luck with Ubuntu 16.04, please share your installation procedure. Much appreciated!

I'm trying to set ORACLE_HOME for FME Server on Linux, but the FME Engine is not seeing it. I fetch it and print it in a workspace, but it's set to a value I definitely didn't set:/opt2/oracle8i/app/oracle/product/8.1.6How can I set ORACLE_HOME for the FME Engine?

How does licensing of an active/passive FME Server setup work?Is it correct that if you do a high available FME server install with a fail over node (active passive) and I have a license with 2 engines that I have to divide those two engines over the two nodes. Meaning my active node will have 1 engine and my passive node will have 1 engine? Or will they both have 2 engines? What happens if I have a license with 3 engines? Can I give 2 engines to the active node and 1 to the passive node?

I installed FME on Mac. FME starts but when i try to add a reader, I get this type of error message: "File /Library/FME/2016.0/metafile/NULL.fmf could not be opened". I checked the filesystem and the file is on the filesystem but the filename is lowercase. When I change it to Uppercase (NULL.fmf), I don't get this message anymore but I get another error message: "File /Library/FME/2016.0/metafile/GEOJSON.fmf could not be opened". I guess the files should all be in uppercase. Could the installation package be updated?

Hi All,I am trying to install FME in my system.

What is the location of the license files created by FME Desktop Licensing Assistant? And how can I ensure that users without Admin privileges will not have to run this application too?Keywords: mac license location fixed licence location

I'm quite new to the docker and docker cloud. It would be really useful if you could provide a standard stack file for the docker cloud enviroment. It should be quite similar to the compose file:http://downloads.safe.com.s3.amazonaws.com/fme/beta/docker-compose.ymlStack file definition of docker cloud:https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/apps/stack-yaml-reference/

I have a scheduled script in FME Server that has to run every half hour during week days. However, I have to schedule it to run every half hour for 24 hours a day for every day in FME Server 2015, so that it runs at night and on weekends when it doesn't have to. Are there any plans to improve the granularity of the schedule in a future FME Server version?

Hi,Yesterday, I manually started a long running task (at 09 AM), and let it run thru the night.This morning it crashed with a Win32 error.What made me wonder was, that when I looking into the job's log, the process crashed almost exactly after 24 hours to the minute. This made me wonder whether it experienced some sort of 24 hour timeout ?The log contained information about what it was doing when it crashed, so I setup a small workspace to test that. It worked without hickups.My main workspace contains a looping custom transformer if that makes a difference. But I've previously had it running perfectly with other data sets.Has anyone experienced something similar ? Or is this just a very strange coincidence ?Cheers Lars I
