How an IP change may affect FME Flow installation

Hello, My IT team wishes to change the IP address of the machine hosting FME Flow. The domain name remains the same. The DNS resolution will be adjusted to point to this new IP. Are there any impacts on the proper functioning of FME Flow?Thank you in advance for your responses.Lau

Lookup a file which contains the column list in order to check the value of columns in a dataset

Hello, everyone! I'm new to FME and seeking some guidance. I have a dataset with numerous columns, and I need to check the values of specific Boolean columns. While I'm aware of using the Tester transformer, it becomes cumbersome to manually create multiple OR and IF statements for each column I want to check. I'm wondering if there's a way to define the columns I want to check in a separate file and have a transformer read that file to use those columns for checking. This would greatly simplify my workflow and make my life much easier. If anyone can advise me on how to achieve this or suggest a better approach, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

I have 2 Agol web connections that have been working for about a year with no problems. They are set up using Oath 2 web apps. Recently one of them stopped getting refresh tokens and need to be re-authenticated every 2-3 hours.

I have debug logs and found that in the one that has stopped working the request is incomplete:GET /sharing/rest/portals/self?f=jsonThe request in the other add the token:GET /sharing/rest/portals/self?f=json&token=.....Trying to determine if this is a problem on the AGOL side or FME side. Any ideas would be appreciated!Also having the same issue on Desktop.

Deploying FME Flow 2023 with a custom configuration database name

Hi,I want to upgrade our FME server 2022 deployment to Flow 2023. We have a three tiered deployment:VM with Core and WebVM with 2 enginesSQL Server with fmeserver configuration databaseNetwork share with configuration directoriesI want to deploy Flow 2023 to a new set of VMs and then cut our DNS over once the deployment is complete, so there is no outage time. However, the point of failure is the database. If I remove it to deploy the 2023 Flow db then the 2022 FME server will stop working.So, can I deploy the new FME Flow with a custom database name - say fmeflow2023? Or is there another way of solving this that I'm not aware of? Thanks,Marc

How To Reset FME File Association for all users?

Hi All We've recently deployed FME 2021.2.0.1 Desktop (64-bit) to a new server environment shared by many users.After some time we realized that this installation has somehow changed File association for JPG to associate with FME Data Inspector. This is unintended and very undesirable. What's the best way to reset the JPG File association to whichever program it was prior to the FME Desktop install? If I change this setting manually through Windows options (assuming I get local administrator rights), does this get propagated to all user profiles? Also we are running a Citrix server environment. Any help is much appreciatedThanks!

FME Desktop installation resets file extension defaults.

When I install a new version of Desktop on my (Windows) machine, all my file extension defaults are reset. (I have to choose which software I want to open a .xlsx file when selected in File Explorer, again.)  I think this is recent behavior? Do I miss a setting during installation? Can it be made undone?

Clipper - small and simple.  Getting this error:Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage limit. To improve stability and performance please increase the memory available to FME.

Is there a way to properly project an undefined layer to a coordinate system?

I am working with data that was exported out of Milsoft. When read into FME these layers show up in central Africa. I used the CsmapReprojector to set the coordinate system to MI83-SIF. I have had success with this method before, but the layers are showing up off the coast of California now. Is there a different routine I should be running these layers through to get them in the right place (central Michigan)?

How do I encrypt passwords in FME Server configuration files? Specifically, I want to encrypt the PFX file password used to setup HTTPS for FME Server.

How do I encrypt passwords in FME Server configuration files? Specifically, I want to encrypt the PFX file password used to setup HTTPS for FME Server. I've seen that there's a parameter in fmeServerConfig.txt for ENABLE_PUBLISHED_PARAMETER_ENCRYPTION. How would I generate encrypted passwords to store in the config file, and would setting this parameter to TRUE then decrypt them and let FME server run properly?

I’m using FME Server v2021.2.6. It’s currently licensed for 1 engine. Our customer has asked us to add an additional engine. I'm not sure if this will work as the 2nd license provided by our customer was procured from a different vendor to license 1.

Hi Support, I’m using FME Server v2021.2.6. It’s currently licensed for 1 engine. Our customer has asked us to add an additional engine. This sounds simple enough, however, the license key provided by our customer, for the 2nd engine, was procured from a different license vendor to the license procured for the first engine. Before I apply the 2nd license, I would like to clarify the following: Will the new license overwrite the existing license or can 2 different licenses be applied concurrently? If 1) is possible:Do I need to install a 2nd FME Engine component (i.e. run the FME Server Installer and select FME Engine only)? Or can I just simply upload the license file via the Web App (via System Configuration > Licensing > Upload License File) then increment the number of engines (via Engine Management > Engines)? Other than 2 different licenses potentially having 2 different expiry dates, are there other implications that may need to be considered? We are running 1x FME Serve

Some characters in the password for FME Server Database seems to make installation unusable.

When installing FME Server 2022.2.5 b22795, i used the character '¤' in the PostgreSQL database password. The password was accepted and the installation finished without warnings or errors. Then, none of the FME Services would start. When looking for the configuration files, I noticed that server.xml was missing. I copied it from another installation wich made the FME Server Application Server start. The FME Server database service would not start still. After some troubleshooting, I decided to reinstall. When asked again for the password, for some reason, I used another password without the '¤' sign. After the installation, all services started up and the server.xml file was where it's supposed to be. I have repeated the procedure on a different machine with the same result. My guess is that the '¤' sign is approved by the FME installation program but not accepted by the database. I don't understand why the server.xml file was missing though.For english
