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! 

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?

Trying to install on my mac, silicon version. Have uninstalled one version completely. New version still has the same bug. When loading a package, going to database connections etc: Failed to install web service '/Users/xxx/Library/Caches/Safe Software/FME/Packages/23319-macosx-aarch64/PackageFiles/safe-lab.genai/web_services/OpenAI.xml'. Reason: Unable to read from file '/Users/xxx/Library/Caches/Safe Software/FME/fme_publicKey.fmeks', No such file or directory (Code 2) I checked for the folder and it doesnt exist.

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 applicationsInsufficient 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 instabilityWarning: 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 DNSalternate servers ipResult: 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 listalternate servers ipResult: 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 listno alternate servers ip specifiedResult: SSO login API token and user/pass login work There is a solution to have the first configuration working as the third? Thanks

Hello am running my FME workbench on one of my colleagues system with FME trial version (without ArcGIS) and I have full FME 2022.2 version(ArcGIS installed on system).   Getting this error : Parameter file was ..... any workaround that FME workbench to run without ArcGIS.  

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!

My analysis is caused by the database not being linked，and there are some logs for the database

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

Hi, I´m trying to execute a Workspace in FME 32 bits, my workspace have some scripts arcpy from Arcmap 32 bits.  I´m getting this message in my workspace: ERROR : A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Server. If ArcGIS is not required by this workspace, then update Python Compatibility to a non-Esri-ArcGIS Python. Otherwise, please install the required ArcGIS product, or if ArcGIS Pro already installed, install 64-bit FME and update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7'. To update this setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python CompatibilityProgram TerminatingTranslation FAILED. I have a ArcGIS Server Standard licensed in this machine and Arcgis Desktop (arcmap) Basic too. I can´t to understand wha

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

I tried to install a python package in cmd, windows 10, but got error "This workspace requires a Python 2.7 interpreter". How do I make it use python 3.* instead? The same command worked for my colleague so something is wrong in my program setup.

Hello all, When will FME (server and desktop) be supported on the new Ubuntu LTS release 22.04? Thanks for your interest, Martin

Hello,We install a second server FME to update the version. When this version will be ok, we will stop the old server. All is ok if we run the new server manually but it doesn't work when we want to run fmeserver like a service. 5 services is ok but the fmeserver-database.service doesnt work.  Have you an idea? Thanks

A question coming from an organisation with many machines installed with FME servers (40+). Next to the installation we also require a lot of time in configuration for the FME server deployments. We would like to automate deployment and configuration in the near future. We have found Ansible and Chef and also Kubernetes. With kubernetes we have succesfully deployed FME server on premise. The only major issue is the esri dependency of Arcpy scripts and SDE databases. Therefore we are looking for Ansible as a serious candidate for automation. We would like to automate as much as possible, not only because it saves times, but also to make sure all the machines are perfectly similarily deployed. Any tips or recommendations from other users/Safe software? Thanks in advance.

Need to install arcgis pro 2.9.5 on the FME servers so FME has access to ESRI projection engine. How I can proceed there is any documentation that what are the prerequisite and how to install.

I need to perform FME server (2022) silent installation in EC2 machine, do I need to create response file or there is any script that we can directly execute using cmd.

I'm very new to the concept of deploying things within a Docker environment. As far as I know, FME Server works perfectly fine with this but what about the interaction with FME Server after it´s up and running. Are you as a workspace author just uploading your workspaces like you do on a normal FME Server on a regular Windows plattform? Same with FME Projects? My second question is if there is a way to use Docker and Jenkins to install FME Projects instead of the normal way through FME Server Gui import/export. RegardsStefan
