Architecture

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: https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html Please note and check the following: * The Python version is: Python3.11 from "C:\\Program Files\\FMEFlow\\Server\\fme\\FMEEngine.exe"* The NumPy version is: "1.24.2"and make sure that they are the versions you expect.Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.Original error was: DLL load failed

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 am IT manager and have followed guide to register new app in azure with recommended Graph and SP permissions, also granted on behalf of the org but for some reason all users are still getting this needs admin approval and it is driving me bonkers, Please can someone assist me. We are using FME 2020.2, Single Tenant and the guide i have carefully followed is here How to Create a SharePoint Web Connection for FME Form [Single Tenant] (safe.com) As i am admin, the connector works fine for me with the new registered app ID and other specifics but just none else,

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 Windows 10Maybe someone can tell me if this is a bug or if I'm just overlooking something.  Many thanks i

I am referencing this article: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/configuring_for_https.htm?Highlight=ssl I am on Windows trying to implement using a PFX and password. I am on step 6b and running into an issue. I try to go to https://localhost/ and get "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". It doesn't seem to let me see/download the cert at all. Any ideas? I have checked and double-checked the configurations changes including the path to the PFX and the password.

Installing FME 2023.0.1 doens't deliver the possibility to download and install transformers such as 'Emailer'. FME seems not to find the (correct) interpreter. See long error message below: "An error occurred while installing Python package with 'pip install --force-reinstall --no-deps --no-index --find-links C:\\Users\\YairLevy.AzureAD\\AppData\\Roaming\\Safe Software\\FME\\Packages\\23332-win64\\PackageFiles\\safe.emailer\\python --target C:\\Users\\YairLevy.AzureAD\\AppData\\Roaming\\Safe Software\\FME\\Packages\\23332-win64\\python\\safe.emailer --upgrade --no-compile fme-emailer' : INFORM: The workspace does not contain user Python.

Please guide me how to configure and use OpenAIChatGPTConnector. Thanks

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

Hi Is there any time frame on when a version of FME will be available for Debian 12?

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!

How I can disconnect the borrowed license for FME Desktop for particular user from Floating License Server. Users machine is not available for disconnection so looking to return FME Desktop borrowed license from FME License server

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.

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
