I am using the FME 2020.1 Desktop (win 64) install with the MSACCESS_JDBC reader. The work bench command line is being used in an existing code, and successfully processes 27 of my 30 mdb. The three mdb that don't process produce the following error: net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessSQLException: UCAExc:::5.0.0 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver.connect(UcanaccessDriver.java:231) at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcCommon.openConnection(JdbcCommon.java:464) at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcReader.openHelper(JdbcReader.java:186) at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcReader.open(JdbcReader.java:155) Caused by: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at jdbc.ucanaccess.shaded.org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCPreparedStatement.executeBatch(Unknown Source) at net.ucanaccess.converters.LoadJet$TablesLoader.loadTableData(LoadJet.java:865) at net.ucanaccess.converters.LoadJet$TablesLoader.loadTableData(LoadJet.java:837) at net.ucanacces

We have recently upgraded FMEflow from 2022 to 2023, resulting in SSO stopped working. After changing the necessary encryption types in the service account on the AD server, we managed to get SSO working again. However typing the AD username and password does not work. The webgui gives the error : "Login failed, please try again." And the error in fmedirectoryserver.log is as following: Wed-23-Aug-2023 08:57:37.521 AM INFORM requesthandler 408039 : Authenticating user "******@*******.ORG" using SASL mechanism "GSSAPI" with KDC address "******.*******.org" and realm "*******.ORG"...Wed-23-Aug-2023 08:57:37.778 AM ERROR requesthandler 408010 : Exception: "LDAPException(resultCode=49 (invalid credentials), diagnosticMessage='80090346: LdapErr: DSID-0C0905D2, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 80090346, v4563Wed-23-Aug-2023 08:57:37.779 AM ERROR requesthandler 408009 : Failed to authenticate user "******@*******.ORG".Wed-23-Aug-2023 08:57:37.792 AM ERROR system-event-client-7 41040

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.

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=json The 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 Web VM with 2 engines SQL Server with fmeserver configuration database Network share with configuration directories I 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

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 appreciated Thanks!

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?

Hi guys. I have an issue with FME Form Licensing Assistant. It looks all weird. It started with the Betas of FME Form 2023. FME 2022 works as it should. I am using Windows 11 in Dark Mode if that might be an issue. Thanks a ton for any help or suggestions.

I am doing a simple clip function in FME Workbench 2020.2. Clippee area is quite huge. 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. Available memory can be increased by adding physical RAM, increasing swap space, or closing other applications Insufficient memory available -- error code was 2. Offending plug-in is 'shapefile_dbase' Warning: not all FMESessions that were created were destroyed before shutdown. This may cause instability Warning: not all Stashed Objects that were registered were dropped before shutdown. This may cause instability I never received memory problem with much more complicated workbenches. What can be the workaround? I have read an advice somewhere, to set Clipper type as "Clippers First", but it doesn't help.

Hello, I am upgrading my fme server on production. I want to spin up a new server on prod, can I use the non prod license on this new prod server for few moments in order to check if everything is working fine ? I'll switch to prod license once I confirm if everything is working.

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. 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?

This article only goes up to FME 2022, which did support Windows Server 2012. Is that still the case for FME23?

Dear all, I've a problem of authentication on fmeserver when I configure some details in the User Management > Directory Servers. Our Active Directory as 9 servers behind a load balancer with a dns alias. I've tried some configuration and only the worst works as desired. Here there are my tests: 1) desired solution: host with DNS alternate servers ip Result: SSO login works, but API token request and user/pass login don't work 2) mixed solution: host with one ip of the 9 in list alternate servers ip Result: SSO login and API token request work, but user/pass login doesn't work 3) worst solution: host with one ip of the 9 in list no alternate servers ip specified Result: SSO login API token and user/pass login work There is a solution to have the first configuration working as the third? Thanks

Hi! New to FME and just installed FME Forms on two different machines. One Windows PC - no problem. The other machine, an Apple Macbook Air M1 gave me some trouble. I've installed the version 2023.0.0.1 for Apple Silicon. After starting it and requesting a trial license, the logs give me the following errors: ERROR : Error migrating key storage from jceks file /Users/sverker/Library/Caches/Safe Software/FME/fme_publicKey.jceks Error while migrating public encryption key file Unable to read from file '/Users/sverker/Library/Caches/Safe Software/FME/fme_publicKey.fmeks', No such file or directory (Code 2) I can't see any Transformers in the FME Hub and I when I go into preferences and the "FME Packages" submenu (or some of the other submenus) I get: I've tried the full removal and reinstall, but the problem persists. I tried giving the FME Workbench application the Full Disk Access permission. Thankful for any help!
