Hi all, I am new to FME and got a configuration question. I noticed that when I start an FME translation, so-called "shared folders" are created (https://desktopmanualbasic.safe.com/DesktopBasic3BestPractice/3.19.SharingResources.html#shared-resource-folders). Obviously, there is a default location below which these folders are created. For me, this default location is '<USERDIR>\\Documents\\FME'. I have seen that under Tools > FME Options > Default Paths > Shared FME Folders  the paths for these shared folders can be configured. However, it appears that there, only an EXTRA location is configured - IN ADDITION to the default location. I.e. if under "Shared FME Folders", I specify for example 'C:\\MyPrograms\\FME_Shared_Folders' as additional shared folder location, the shared folders are created at TWO locations, namely (also see attached image '01_shared folders log.png'): C:\\MyPrograms\\FME_Shared_Folders<USERDIR>\\Do

Hello, I am newbie to FME and need help on FME setup on Kubernetes cluster. I am refering to HEML chart as mentioned here : https://github.com/safesoftware/helm-charts  I see all configuration is related to POSTGRES and nothing related to SQLServer.  Can anyone please help how do I deploy FME on Kubernetes which uses SQL server database?   

Is there any guidance on installing FME in AWS? The same question (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hH8aSAE/installing-fme-server-on-aws) was asked 2 years ago but wasn't answered. Kubernetes and FME Cloud are not options I can use unfortunately. I would like to use ephemeral machines that can scale with demand and be auto-replaced if they become unhealthy. I'd also like to simply replace the servers using newer versions of the AMI when OS patches or FME updates are released (I don't want long running servers that I have to nurse and treat as pets). I would like separate auto scaling groups for the engines so I can spin up as many as I want when they're needed and don't have to run more powerful (and expensive) servers when their not required. I might potentially have multiple queues for different types of engine (maybe with different operating systems). I'd need to be able to inspect the queue to know when to scale out/in. I've looked at doi

I found in the documentation that the recommended destination for installed custom python packages is: Windows: C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python How would I make the packages available to all users of the computer? Help page: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/Workbench/Installing-Python-Packages.htm Best regards,Stefan

I have a URL being sent through emailer and everything seems to be working fine until the email comes in. The URL is there except its missing a few characters. Any Ideas why?

Hi,FME's background maps are not showing up when I'm on my company's VPN.I've tested a few ones (STATMEN, ESRI, MaoBox). They all work fine without VPN, but they don't (or sometimes they will for a very short period of time) when I'm connected with VPN. The fun part : I've tested the same maps with QGIS and ArcGIS Pro and they work flawlessly. Anybody ever face that problem ? Thanks Phil

The FME Server license doesn't recognize the current machine because it is limited to one or more specific machines.Use FME Sever on a machine for which it is licensed. Kindly assist us same.

Does the FME Desktop Professional Edition License Server log usage?

Background maps has stopped working - this link: https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/orto_foraar_wmts_DAF?service=WMTS&request=GetCapabilities&token=dcfd5bb56caa13f5f4fcef0b65c45f8eworks in other applications (QGIS 3.16) and used to work flawlessly in FME. Upon updating it has stopped working as a background map, but seems to work as intended in FeatureReader. What happened to background maps? And what can I do to fix it?  FME Desktop 2021.1.3.0 21631

We are using Tomcat, installed by itself, on the FME server on port 80. DB server is a separate Oracle Server. I need to move the web service to Tomcat on a different server, to port 80. In the documentation, it says to 1) modify the web server url in fmeserverconfig.txt, then 2) edit the services in the web interface.  I assume step 2 should be a step 3, and step 2 would be to start up Tomcat, Core, Server, DB, on the servers, allowing the war files to build, correct? Thanks for any help. Moving the Web Applications Server to Another Machine (safe.com)

We recently upgraded FME Desktop (and also FME Server) from 2021.0.2.0 (b21321) to FME 2021.2.2.0 (b21806).  In the past it seemed that the floating licence settings would only have to be configured once (the first time opening FME Desktop), but now users are confronted with a (floating) licence activation screen every 2-3 days or so. It's manageble, but a bit of a nuisance for our FME Desktop users. Has something changed on this front? And if so, is there an option to make sure that the (floating) licences configuration is stored for a longer period of time? Kind regards, Thijs    

I remember that the number of processes in parallel processing had been determined by "Parallel Processing Level" and the number of CPU cores, in the old days. The attached screenshot is from FME 2017 Help.However, I cannot find the table above anywhere in the documentations for the current version of FME.The table above can be applied to parallel processing with a custom transformer in the current version?

I want to install FME Server 2021.2.2 on CentOS 7.9 offline. When I run the installer, after answering all the questions and waiting 5 minutes, i get an error saying : "no package postgresql11-server available". I tried to install the rpm of postgresql11-server, postgresql11 and postgresql11-lib but now i have a second error, more instantany, saying "Postgres is already installed on this system. If you would like to use the existing Postgres with FME Server, see https://docs.safe.com/fme2021.2/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Configure-FME-Server-Database-on-Separate_Server-2-Tier.htmOtherwise please uninstall postgres and rerun this installation".  Could you please help me to resolve this problem ?

We have FME-Desktop and FME-Server installed on two separate machines.An external office is helping us setting up FME-Server and transferring our workbenches to the server.Our informatics department is very strict with granting access to servers and it's only possible for them to access to the server on which FME-Server is installed with a two step identification (SMS-Code).They can access to the server with FME-Desktop as well, but they cannot upload FME-Workbenches to the server, as they cannot establish a connection between the two servers. Our plan is now to install FME-Desktop on the same machine as FME-Server. Are there any arguments against this or can it be done without problems?Thanks, Vera 

Is there something like PropertyIsWithin instead of PropertieIsEqualTo.I have created the list with possible values with: ListBuilder / ListDuplicateRemover.

I've migrated the data for one table from SQL Server geodatabase to another Azure SQL geodatabase using only Reader & Writer. I was able to write successfully but when the actual workflow for dataload ran on schedule in Azure SQL Geodb, I get this error and so far no workarounds found. Not sure why we're getting 'Violation of Primary key error on OBJECTID' as it supposed to insert new features with new OBJECTID. Also trying to reach ESRI support for how to handle this issue. Please suggest any solutions/workarounds for this issue. Thanks
