Architecture

Hello there, I looked into FME system parameters and Python APIs to find a programmable way to identify release info, such as 2023.2.1, etc., in an FME Form session, to no avail. I would appreciate you sharing your approaches. Bo

QUESTION: Is there anyway to adjust the login timeout for MS SQL connections? Periodically, I've been logging an error from the SQLExecutor transformer which appears to be related to timeout issues when connecting to a MS SQL database. The error below seems to occur at random and is hard to replicate on demand.  'Provider error (-247467259) Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection' I suspect that the connection, periodically, is talking longer then the timeout configured in FME. I know of the 'Command Timeout' parameter but as I understand it this is only applicable to the query length timeout, not the login connection timeout

Buenos días, tengo instalado FME en un equipo que va muy lento, ¿Podría desinstalarlo de este equipo lento e instalarlo en otro que acabo de comprar mucho más potente?

When i start the program FME Workbench version 2021.1.2 and 2021.2.6, the system start up as expected. But when i try to start FME Workbench 2022.2.2, 2022.2.4, 2022.2.5 or FME Form 2023.0 the start window appears. But when it comes to "Initzialising main window" the system craches every time whith a loggmessage in the Windows Event Viewer: (Sorry about the swedish language in logg) "Felet uppstod i programmet med namn: fmeworkbench.exe, version 2023.7.46.23275, tidsstämpel 0x6436125d, felet uppstod i modulen med namn: ucrtbase.dll, version 10.0.19041.789, tidsstämpel 0x2bd748bfUndantagskod: 0xc0000409Felförskjutning: 0x000000000007286eProcess-ID: 0x3300Programmets starttid: 0x01d9a4d0db7b26d8Sökväg till program: C:\\Program Files\\FME2023_0\\fmeworkbench.exeSökväg till modul: C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\ucrtbase.dllRapport-ID: 47a2422c-3812-46fc-be60-5a47781d95a4Fullständigt namn på felak

We have upgraded to FME FLOW 2023.1. Now the workbenches that write or read to to our SQL Server Spatial - SDE MS SQL Server 2012 fail. It looks like an SSL certificate error.  Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Writer: Failed to connect using Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server. Provider error '(-2146893019) SSL Provider: The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted. '. Connection string 'Provider=MSOLEDBSQL19;Data Source=djskfjdksfjslfjslf-sqlserver-se.cdvhtvcfec0o.ap-southeast-2.rds.amazonaws.com;Initial  Failed to open writer MSSQL_SPATIAL writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details. Not sure what is going on and how to fix it. The workbenches on FME Form fail as well with the same error.  

May I ask what is the default password for fmeserver database?

Dear FME community, We would like to have redunancy in our FME Form licencing using Flexlm. We have x number of licenses that should not be divided over n servers, but the same licenses need to be configured on all servers, master and backup. In case of crash of the master server the backup machines need to automatically take over. Only thing I could find was: https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0r4Q00000HbqijQAB/configure-a-backup-or-failover-license-manager The answer of Rylan doesn't specify if his suggested method is for load-balancing or/and a backup-license manager. The flexlm guide online states:"The following is an example of a license file that is configured for thre

If I install FME engine on seprate machine to connect FME flow core host (with default Flow database installed on same), does the trial FME flow standard license work on distributed architecture? Is ther any specific license required to configure distributed engine setup not the trial one?

If I reinstall FME flow software, can same license file be used again even this is a trial flow license? According to the licesne request file machine code is generating diffrent value. Do I need to request new trial license file if reinstallation is in place? Is it applicable for permanent license also in case of any reinstallation is needed? Please advise.

Hi community! I installed FME Flow 2023.1.1.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 with installer [1]. I choosesetup type "Distributed / Fault Tolerant" to use an existing Postgres instanceaccording to [2]. I then set up the Postgres database according to [3].I also changed proxyPort in /opt/fmeflow/Utilities/tomcat/conf/server.xmlto the correct port number. Then installed, enabled, and started the systemdunits according to [4]. Everything worked at this point and I could log in as admin and change thepassword as required. I could also log out and log in as admin. I thencreated a new admin user. When I logged out and try to log in as the new userthe landing page was stuck in an infinite refresh loop. I also deleted allcookies which did not have any effect on the constant reloading. The URL is https://view-db.vinci-energ

I am having difficulty attaching the Host Info Text File.Please advise how it can be submitted. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I will be receiving a number of datasets that I need to run through the same process. I would like to figure out how I can set up the workbench to be able to put through several datasets at once time. There will be the same 4 inputs that need to be run through the FME workflow I have set up to output 3 files.I'm looking at working with something like this:If anyone has an example I could maybe take a look at to help set this up or have any tips/advice for doing this, it would be much appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

We are currently running FME desktop 2020 with a floating license server (2020). If we upgrade our license server with a 2022 floating license will the 2020 FME desktop installs still be compatible until we finish testing and upgrading?

Both the nodes sharing the same FME Flow System Share and FME Flow Database (postgres sql DB) which are on a shared network drive. The two express installs have independent URLs. So, in this scenario, there is no real fault tolerance from load balancer but if one node fails, the FME clients can change the URL to point to the second node's URL

Is there a way of doing parallel processing on multiple CPU cores inside a PythonCaller? I don't want to use a custom transformer for that because I cannot easily group my features using the group processing option. I have already tried the concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor but it fails in FME. The code works fine outside of FME but in a PythonCaller it raises a PicklingError.

Hi, I have an issue with import numpy in Python Startup Script in FME Workspace in FME Flow: FME Flow 2023.0.1 uild 23332 - win64 I guess that numpy package is already installed in FME Flow (and Form).In FME Form there is no issue but when I publish workspace on FME Flow I get: Python Exception <ImportError>: IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen formany reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy wasinstalled.We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

Hi everybody,Is it possible to fix the maximum file size in output ?I want to convert LAS data in DWG, but DWG in output is too large. Instead of one large file of 2 GB, I would like multiple files of 200 Mo (for example). Tnak you in advance 🙂   

Hello, I'm using FME to read IFC files and I would like to know if it is possible to get GeometryPropertyExtractor (to get traits) by calling the FME API into PythonCaller ? Thank in advance Best regards Bruno Hilaire

Installing ArcGIS Web adaptor IIS broke the Tomcat Web UI to FME server. Checked the Tomcat xml files to enable SSL 443 and SAML. All the config seems to be in place. "Unfortunately a backup or snapshot of the VM was not taken ahead of time." Anyone know how to get the UI back running? Pretty dumb mistake so there is not much dialog. But I have gone through setting up SSL with CA Cert and SAML.

How to Create an ArcGIS Online Web Connection (OAuth 2.0) (safe.com) I followed the document above. However, when trying to add the redirect url to the app in ArcGIS Online, it now requires a "url" parameter that is not mentioned in the documentation. I'm not sure what to put there.

I managed a few users for my work and we have a few fixed licence codes under our EULA. Some of these have been reused and to test this process I activated two under my own install of 2022.2. I now have two codes listed under my install and I don't really need either, and there seems to be no way of removing them. I have followed other posts about location the directory where these are stored but there are no files located.  How are these managed? I can see they are re-usable but do they get automatically get removed from the previous machine? Should I uninstall before these get activated elsewhere? Many thanks for any help

I have the following problem: I have a csv file with multiple columns. I have a user parameter and i want to rename the columns according to this user parameter. Even though the "Text To Find" parameter of my BulkAttributeRenamer gets updated correctly the Renamer doesn't rename the correct column but renames the previously set column and deletes the values in the newly set column (see pictures). The BulkAttributeRenamer only renames the new column correctly if I:   - open the BulkAttributeRenamer properties   - replace "Text To Find" Parameter with something arbitrary    - close the BulkAttributeRenamer by clicking "Ok"   - open the BulkAttributeRenamer properties again   - set the "Text To Find" parameter back to my user parameter   - close the BulkAttributeRenamer by clicking "Ok"  I'm using FME Desktop 2020.2.3.0 on W
