Architecture

In FME Workbench I have a MS SQLServer database that has multiple schemas.Schema1.Schema2.TablenameWorkbench sees the tables in the Reader setup but I get the following error when I try to apply the Reader.JDBC Reader: Error reading schema for table 'DataBank.AccountsPayable.Invoices'. Error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid object name 'DataBank.AccountsPayable.Invoices' I am on Mac Monterey but VS Code can read the data in the tables.

On Download area (https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions), there are only the Build 21635 and the Build 21627.Best regards,

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.

License Manager - Wondering if FlexLM 11.15 on Windows 2019 is supported as we are planning to upgrade the FME License Server from Windows 2012 R2. Thanks!

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

Asking on behalf of a customer: they have a floating license in a Citrix environment and want to move FlexLM to a new license server. When they've done that is there a way to automatically update the license server name on all the clients? Registry key perhaps? FME Desktop is installed within an Applayer in Citrix and they want to avoid having to change that.

Hello,  Our current database is running on Oracle 11, and we are planning to migrate it to Oracle 19c towards the end of the year. We use the database in daily FME workflows (mainly in queries). We are wondering whether the migration will have an impact on our FME scripts. Are there risks that we should be aware of for the current used FME scripts?  Thank you Ella 

When attempting to restore FME Server from a downloaded fsconfig file, with or without "Overwrite Existing Items" selected, the restore fails with no message. When doing the restore with the backup data stored in a resource location, the restore is successful. However, this isn't an option as we are doing the backup/restore process to upgrade FME Server in place, and the uninstall process could possibly delete the backup file. Is there anything we could be doing wrong?

I have FME Desktop licensed on an air-gapped server but covid has changed my working patterns; so, for the 2 or 3 days I work from home I don't have access to my favourite software. Is there any way to borrow a license from my air-gapped server for use on a different network?

Hi, do you know if there is any incompatibility between FME Desktop and ArcGIS licence server and ArcFM licence server?

TLDR: When deploying FME Server to Azure Kubernetes Service set storage.fmeserver.size to at least 100Gi in values.yaml to meet Azure File Storage minimum requirements. When deploying FME Server to Azure Kubernetes using Azure Files as per the documentation, the default 10Gi setting fails to meet Azure minimum size requirement for a file share in a Premium_LRS type sku storage account.  The default values.yaml file has the following settings:storage:  useHostDir: false  reclaimPolicy: Delete  postgresql:    size: 1Gi    class:    path:  fmeserver:    accessMode: ReadWriteOnce    size: 10Gi    class: azurefiles-fmeserver    path:When applied, the following pods will fail to be scheduled:engine-standard-group x2corequeuewebsockedHowever fmeserver-postgresql, will be scheduled successfully and should run. Looking into a failed pods description, for example the core pod:kubectl describe pods core-0We can see the issue is due to an unmet persistent volume claim.Conditions:  Type           S

Hello, If I do a silent (command-line) installation of FME would it be possible to set the shared resource folder as well? I don't see a flag for it in the documentation. https://krogerfeedback.nl https://talktosonic.onl https://talktowendys.vip https://whataburgersurvey.onlSame question applies to some of the other FME options (database connections file, network proxy settings). If those could be set during a silent install it would make it easier for IT staff to run them more frequently. thanksjackyjoy

Core OS is running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. NFS mount point has been verified accessible from FME server to NAS. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if it is possible but feel I can't be the only person with this question. I have a standard FME Pro install with 8 worker license. Is it possible to reserve a couple of licenses so they will always be available for certain workflows that run as a cron jobs? I basically don't want my cron tasks getting held up because other users run processes that occupy all 8 workers. 

We are migrating from FME Desktop 2014 (32-bit) and FME Server 2015 (32-bit) to FME 2020.We have our old sworldswaf.dll and sworldswaf.fmf files for Smallworld 4.3 and know we should simply copy those files into FME 2020 directories as in our FME 2014/2015. Now the question is whether we should stick to FME 32-bit or we can go and install FME 64-bit (or FME Destkop 32-bit and Server 64-bit with 64-bit engines) and keep using our old GE Smallworld files without problems.I read the documentation here but want to make sure we can't install 64-bit version of FME Server.

So I have built a basic server app that allows users to log in and run a workspace. Using the 'Require Authentication' option in the app. Created a user account and user is able to execute process.But I'm having trouble capturing the user name as part of the routine to write to a history table. In my Desktop workbench, I'm using a Published Parameter defaulting to:$(FME_SECURITY_USER)In the Server workspace, I'm not showing that particular parameter so that it can't be changed to something else. When I run it myself while logged in as 'admin', that's what gets logged. But when I have user "johnsmith" running it as, it logs NULL.  Am I missing something else? Also is there any way to leverage AD Authentication if you don't want to set up a bunch of users and require them to log in to run the app?Thanks.

@rahulsharma​ and I just troubleshoot FME Workbench not opening on a Windows 10 machine that has an NVIDIA graphics card. There were no warnings or anything when trying to get the program to open. The mouse would spin for a second and that was about it. After a lot of trial and error, we found that changing in the NVIDIA Control Panel from "High Performance" graphics to "Integrated graphics", FME opened right up without issue. Hope this helps! Make sure to add each application (even do it for the Help to actually open). If you know of a better way, I'm all ears.     

My organization is switching our license to an ESRI Edition license, but my client has Professional Edition instaled. Can I run this way while I wait to upgrade my client application?

​Main questionCan anyone advise me about the installation of the GDAL Python module and its implications on FME's Python interpretations? Can anyone share their experiences in using a different Python module within FME other than FME's Python interpreter or ArcPy? Background infoCurrently, it is not directly supported to calculate percentile values in the *StatisticsCalculator transformers of FME (e.g. also not in the RasterStatisticsCalculator). See also this Idea on the FME community.In order to still do so, I thought about using a Python script/module to perform this step. Specifically, I would like to extract the 95% percentile of pixel values in a GeoTIFF (those pixel values represent absolute height values), for portions of the GeoTIFF that overlap/intersect with 2D polygon features of building extents.  Python modules likely suitable for the task of calculating 'zonal statistics over a raster'One might use the 'Zonal Statistics As Table (Raster Analysis)' from ArcGIS Pro, which
