Architecture

I upgraded from v2015 to v2016 today, and I have noticed that a user parameter that is derived from another user parameter is not upgraded properly.In the attached Workspace, I am creating a SiteName parameter based on the input filename. And I also create a SiteNameGDB parameter for the output filename, based on the SiteName parameter. Unfortunately, when opening this workspace - which worked fine in v2015.0 - in v2016, it has replaced the expression $(SiteNameGDB) with the literal string "__SiteNameGDB_"Is this a bug?

My FME floating licence is installed on Windows2008 R2 Standard server. IT would like to upgrade the server to Windows2008 R2 Enterprise version. Would FME licence still works after changing the server to Enterprise version?

Hi,I would like to connect to FME Server PostgreSQL database repository throught pgAdmin.I could not succeed in making a connection. Is there any configuration changes required before being able to connect? Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Is it possible to export the FME Server schedule? I have looked through multiple FME Server folders, but have not found a file with the schedule. Adding such a feature could be beneficial. Thanks.

So I have an FME workflow i need to run on a linux machine. I've managed to get the FME engine installed and i can run workbenches via the command line, however when i try to run a python script to run my workbench i get the following error:ImportError: libfmeobj.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryDoes anyone have any experience running FME workspaces via python on ubuntu?I've copied my python script from a previous post from Ken's. Although i have a small amendment to check the OS which the script is being run on:import sys, os, platform# Set variables based on operating system:operating_system = platform.system()if operating_system == "Windows":    sys.path.append("C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeobjects\\python27")    directory = "E:\FME_Workbenches\PythonTesting"else:    sys.path.append("/opt/fme/fmeobjects/python27")    directory = "/opt/PythonTesting/"import fmeobjects#initiate FMEWorkspaceRunner Classrunner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner()#Full path to Work

Why is the password of the database is visible in the log ?

I am trying to reset my single fixed license using the licensing assistent. I have a new laptop and I would like to use the same serial number. I am trying to activate fme with the same serial number, but I am receiving errors. How do I fix this issue?

I heard the license server for FME 2016 is going to change from FlexLM to Docker. Is that correct? And how is that going to affect plugins running on FlexLM licenses?

Can you publish a 32-bit workspace to a 64-bit FME server

Can we do simultaneous loading while making measurement on land with drone?

Hi - I have a larger OD matrix to the file shared below (too big for excel to handle) and would like to aggregate all the duplicate zones together (to produce the matrix shown in the 'summarised' tab. Would anyone be able to provide a solution/script in FME? https://arup.sharefile.com/d-saeccd70feea46d6b Thanks 

I have 64 bit FME Floating license server. 64 bit FME floating license installer is installed on the server. Will all version of FME workbench be able to use the license?

FME Server documentation for Linux x64 does not mention SuSE. Is FME Server supported on the SUSE Enterprise 11 flavour of Linux?

Hi,  I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but just in case some has thought through this before...  Is there a way to get FME Desktop to authenticate internet proxy access without having to get the user to add/maintain their details in the tools>option>network tab?  I'm looking to roll out a new version of FME desktop to 200+ users and am exploring wether their is a way to do this during install rather than asking them to do it manually post install.  (mainly i'd like them to have access to FME store transformers.)  Any ideas welcome.  Nick

Dear FME community,  we are using a total of three FME licenses in our company. These are concurrent network licences. This means that everybody can use the software who has it locally installed and under the condition that a license is available at this time. Since FME is very popular, the licenses are in good use :)  However, we sometimes have the case that somebody has opend FME Workbench or the Inspector, but he or she is not using it and simply forgot to close the program. In this case, the license is blocked unnecessarily.  Is there a way for an administrator or better for every FME user to detect this "idle time"? I don't mean the time when one is working on a workbench. I have seen something of this kind before where one could see which function/factory was used at a specific time. Perhaps this is already implemented.  Additionaly, one shoould be able to free the license in the case when FME is not used for a specific time. Is there a way to do this?  Kind regards

Does anyone know where I can query with a location to get the local hospitals and other emergency services?  Idealy as a live query rather than downloaded dataset.

Hello,  I have a workspace in which depending on certain conditions I am calling another workspace using python shutdown script. This is my script  if DataType == 'ABCD':    wsr.runWithParameters(current_workspace_dir+"/test1.fmw",{"SourceDataset_GENERIC": FME_MacroValues["Input_FileName"]}) else....  If I run this from desktop works fine. but when I publish it to the server. It gives error in processmonitor log as "No FME Floating Licenses are available.  Contact your distributor to purchase additional licenses."  Other workspaces without chainig works fine. Is this something to do with licensing?  Cheers    

Dear all,  I have a question to the Transformer ArcSDEGridSnapper: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/What-is-the-ArcSDEGridSnapper  How do I correct configure this transformer. In the Article above there are some picture with values. But they do not match together?  How important are the Parameters Min X, Min Y: Can this value be approximatly fit the values from ArcMap?  My problem is that every feature-class differs slightly, so I need to change the values all the time. Or is there a way to read the values automatically?  Thanks in advance

Hi   I have a fusion table that i need to update base on a certain criteria. Does someone have any suggestions on how to do it.   UPDATE Seminar SET YearOS = 2013 where seminar ='CollectingData';  Base on Google documentaion   UPDATE <table_id> SET <column_name> = <value> {, <column_name> = <value> }* WHERE ROWID = <row_id>  To update values in one or more columns of an existing row in a table, use the following syntax in an HTTP POST request:  

Dear community,  I'm currently using FME 32bit on WIN64 with 16GB. To obtain better performance, I'm thinking on migrating to 64bit FME.  Can I exchange workspaces that were created on a 64bit FME with my colleagues who use 32bit FME? Is it right that the primary disadvantage of FME 64bit is the missing support for ESRI geodatabases compared to FME 32bit?  I read on an other topic that a parallel installation is possible. Are there any side effects by using 32 and 62 bit together on one machine?  Kind regards Thomas

Is there a way to work with Git on the FME Server to easy rollback to another version? On slide 24 is something mentioned: http://de.slideshare.net/SafeSoftware/implementing-a-simple-web-application-with-fme-server "Allows workspaces to be shared with confidence, placed under source control (e.g. Git), and configured externally"  Or what is a good workflow in context with FME Server to not disturb a productive system and develop/change stuff in the workspaces? Is there a tutorial/best practice paper or video? Or what are your experiences? 

Hi! I'm working on an FME Server based Upload Service, that should give feedback to uploaders via e-mail. This works well if the underlying workspace runs successfully, however, if the workspace fails I'm having problems getting FME Server to communicate with the uploader via e-mail. I need to get FME Server to communicate details of the failure (read: log) etc in an e-mail, not to sysadm, but to the 'user' directly. Subscriptions like 'JobSubmitter_Email_JobFailure' only send e-mail to sysadm on failure. Anyone know how to do this?

I have a workbench that contains two FMEServerJobSubmitters which run based on an attribute value. When I run the process within server with the attribute vale of 'X' the correct server workspace runs and finishes successfully. When I use the value 'Y' it gives an error that no FME floating licenses are available.  Processes X and Y are identical, they are taking data from SDE and clipping it to output to shape and dwg, just using different data.  When I run the original workspace from the desktop everything runs successfully.  Why would one part of this process give a license error and not the other part?  I don't have any problems with licenses running any other processes.

Hello,  I'm trying to upgrade to FME Server 2014 by producing a backup in FME Workbench. It fails to read the features when I try to include the scheduled tasks. I've previously noticed that in the web console only 100 of our tasks are displayed and we have nearly 500 setup so I think it might be to do with this. Is there a limit and how do I get round it if there is and do the backup?  Thanks,  Peter.

I received this error when installing FME Desktop 2014 (20140120 - Build 14235 - WIN32) on Windows Server Standard 2008 SP1 (64 bit).  I clicked ok, and the installer finished without any other errors.  FME opens up and seems to be working correctly.  Should I be concerned about this?     I later looked at the system requirements for FME Desktop 2014 and noticed Windows Server 2008 SP2 or above is required.  http://www.safe.com/fme/fme-technology/fme-desktop/tech-specs/
