Architecture

Hello,  Using the FME Server publishing wizard from FME Workbench, I configured my workspace to run whenever a topic was notified (subscribed to topic).  No errors were generated during completion of the wizard and the FME server web application shows no errors in the configuration of my subscription.  However, the workspace is never run when the topic is notified.  After hours of digging thru the logs, I finally found a warning in the '..\\logs\\notifier\\subscribers\\push\\push_XX.log' file:  WARN     802009     : Invalid target url for push notification: 'https://servername/fmenotification/UtilityStakingOperations/ProcessIncomingUtilityStakingEmails.fmw?opt_servicemode=async  I have no idea what's wrong with this url.  If I paste it directly into a new browser window and log i

Hi ...  How can I check the availablily of an FME license using python?  I want to make sure a license is available before executing a series of arcgis and fme steps.  I think I've seen it somewhere on fmepedia before but I can't find the thread now.  Ken

Hi there, I'm wondering to get the output log for the success or failed transaction with my own convention name. How can I afford it?  thanks

Hi,  Does anyone know where i can get a list of fme error codes and reasons for them being raised?  I'm seeing quite a few "231047:Job cancelled." responses, with no obvious reason why, and they don't appear to be user cancelled either.  the job duration of these cancalled jobs appears to be from a few minutes to a few days, but they don't appear to be tying up the engine.  also, if I look in the fmeserver.log the process often looks like it has run and finished in 4 seconds or so, but the record in the db jobs table suggests it ran for a lot longer.  can and do jobs requests get orphaned or something?  Any ideas anyone?  Nick

I have several workspaces that work fine on the desktop version but doesn't work on FME Server mainly due to memory issues. (The Server version is installed on a virtual server with 10GB of RAM and my laptop has 8GB).  This is a huge dissapointment since we have invested in this software to automate our processes and now it seems FME Server is not able to handle the same workspaces that the desktop version does. Has anyone else had the same kind of problems?  Additionally I have run intio character set issues with FME Server that I didn't have on FME desktop.

Hi dears.  There is some documentation with the installation procedure FME Server 2013 for Linux?  Thank in advance.  Kind regards.  Ramon Rocha

When uploading a workspace to FMEServer and adding Resources I want to be able to NOT upload these when uploading another workspace to the same Repository. Ie I have some large LIDAR-files which several workspaces use. However I do not want to upload them once for each workspace. Is this possible?

Hello  FME 2013 was released Jan 15 with Build 13261  Now I find Build 13264 in the download area and FME Pedia  has the info that FME 2013 is Build 13264. see: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/Build-Numbers-for-FME-Versions  I couldn't find any info about the difference between 13261 and 13264 ?!  We want to build on top of official FME 2013. This confusion is unexpected and not really helpful.  Michael 

Have anyone tried FME Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or 7? I see the official supported version is 5.

Hi,  Is it possible to figure out programatically what license FME is using?  i.e. if I have multiple versions of FME on a machine to check using Python if 'c:\\fme2013\\fme.exe' is using a professional or oracle license.  Cheers  -James

Hi, are there any plans to increase the number of formats supported on LINUX 64 server ?

Hi There,  I was just wondering can FME Server 2012 run an FME 2013 Desktop Workspace? We have a number of workspaces that we will be upgrading and we are unclear if they will still run with FME Server 2012.  We currently do not have the time to upgrade our server.  Thanks!

After much confusion we have a public 2013 fme server!:  https://fmeserver.ncd.noaa.gov/fmeserver/login/end  It looks like in 2013 version the admin interface and the public interface have been combined? Wha's the public url for workbench so users dont have to login?

We have some queries presented to our Oracle database coming from the Fme Server - They run approx 40000 time an hour and cannot figure out how are they being run- the query are in this format:  Select owner, table_name from all_tables where ownner in 'PUBLIC, XXXXX' AND TABLE_NAME = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'. We found that there are 3-4 queries of this nature.  The question is how to find them and then stop as it is not producing any output.  Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi, I'm doing some test between FME 32-bit on a 32-bit machine and FME 64-bit on a 64-bit machine. Do you know if there is difference between transformer from 32-bit to 64-bit? or transformer are all the same between 32 and 64? Thanks!

Dear All,  Need your assistance.....  We run our FME Desktop 2012 64-bit PC using Safe Floating Licence. Due to the amount the data which we process on daily basis, it takes days to complete and the FME process used up all CUPs.  Going forward we are building Application Server (not FME Server) to run FME and other geo-spatial applications.  But the problem is: -           App Server will be built on Linux RedHat 64-Bit and as per my research FME Workbench is not available on Linux. http://www.safe.com/fme/fme-technology/fme-desktop/tech-specs/  So, we were thinking, we will configure windows VM on Linux and install all the FME components but not 100% sure this will work or not.  Could someone please share some knowledge or advise that would it be good to run FME on windowsVM which sits on Linux bo

Hi,  We are about to implement FME Server for our Organization...As the business owner for the application (we will likely also be the administrators), our preference would be to use the FME Repository database delivered with FME Server. Unfortunately our IT group has a policy for using Oracle for all applications. I am trying to defend our position of going with the default database. Does anyone have experience with and or recommendations about which FME Server repository to go with  between Oracle and the built in db?  Does anyone know why FME Server supports external database repositories...it seem to just complicate the installation and I can't see any upside?  The reference Manual simply states the following and there is not much more detail in the Admin Guide   "The FME Server Core uses the repository database to store job and repository information. The database should never be edited directly,

Hi all, Less a question, more an answer. I know this came up on FMETalk, so I wanted folk to know that we added a "humouring" device to FME Server in 2013.  Whenever you run a data download/job submitter process, you get a spinny wheel thing with an elapsed time counter.    Hope this is useful  Cheers  Mark
