If I login FME Server, I can see the job is finished success. My question is how to get "STATUS", "RESULT DATA" information as attached below image. Thank you very much.

Error handling in FME

Hello, I am developing workbenches that will process the input data depending on certain conditions. I am publishing to FME server so that it can be used in Java application. I would like to know is it possible to pass any meaningful error message if data is not what is expected. I don't have a clue how I could achieve this. Any pointers in right direction?

FME Server security with password encryption and decryption

Good afternoon everyone,I have one question regarding FME Server security. I am using FME Server 2014 with an Oracle database. Normally when we create a user in FME Server, the user is create in table FME_USERACCOUNT with an encrypted password. Now I have an issue that one of my web services have to access FME Job so my web services need username / password for basic authentication. Now I have two options either I store password in some local storage with my web service or my web service access Oracle schema fmeserver and get password for user. If i can have decrypted password, the management will be very simple for me. Can anyone guide me, may be I am missing some basic point over here. I don't have AD in my infrastructure. Can you please guide me ? Regards

Trying to set WorkspaceRunner Filepath and Parameters

I'm trying to improve a tool to process Ordnance Survey MasterMap data, and I've been trying WorkspaceRunner as a way to speed things up. The eventual goal is to have a Data Interop tool we could give to customers, have them fill in the bare minimum of data, and set it running without having to know much about what it's doing.The problem I'm running into is that I can't pass in parameters to set the location of the workbench that I'd like WorkspaceRunner to use and set the Parameters for that workspace; WorkspaceRunner can't look up the required parameters until the workspace is set, and because we can't know where the user will put the tool in a folder structure, it can't be hard-coded. I've tried setting the workspace, setting the parameters, then removing the workspace, but it didn't like that at all.There is an extra complication with Data Interop - FME will adjust the filepaths when the workbenches move, so long as the relative filepath

Fetch from the Lookup Table

Hi Experts. I have an excel table 'lookup'(attached) with 2 sheets accounting and count. I want to add a column number in the count table wherein the value of number would be from the value attribute from accounting table with respect to the count attribute.I have tried using a combination of sorter, counter, lists and aggregator but didn't get the desired results. May be I had tried somewhat other way.Thanks.

How to pass number of writes in a workspace inside a WorkspaceRunner to the parent worpsace?

I have a workspace that has several WorkspaceRunners running in sequence. If the workspace in the first WorkspaceRunner writes nothing, no need to run the remaining WorkspaceRunners. But how I can pass the number of the writes of the first workspace to the parent workspace?

How do I add custom reader and writer to the reader/writer list on FME Workbench?

I have written a custom reader and writer in C++, and have copied the .dll, .fmf, and .db files to <fme-home-dir>/plugins (and also to <fme-home-dir> as a second try); but neither the reader nor the writer lists show it as an option. We are a member of the developer partner program, and would appreciate a nudge in the correct direction. Thank you!

Getting published parameters from within a python caller nested in several custom transformers

I'm trying to use a python caller within a custom transformer that is nested inside another custom transformer.With just a single custom transformer I'd use: paramVal = str(FME_MacroValues[MyCustomTransformerName_MyParameterName])to get the parameter value inside the custom transformer. However when this custom transformer is nested inside another custom transformer, this naming convention doesn't work - I get a python exceptionPython Exception <KeyError>: 'MyCustomTransformerName_MyParameterName'The combination of both custom transformer names throws an errorparamVal = str(FME_MacroValues[MyContainingCustomTransformer_MyCustomTransformer_MyParameterName])Using just the parameter name as follows gives me the value from the parent workspaceparamVal = str(FME_MacroValues[MyParameterName])while using concatenating the name of the containing custom transformer gets parameters from within that transformerparamVal = str(FME_MacroValues[MyContainingCustomTransformer_MyParameterName])Is

Uploading Transformed Data to AmazonS3 Without Writing Locally

Is it possible to upload data, that has been modified, to Amazon S3 from within the workspace that is modifying the data? For example, I have a workspace that reads in single-band landsat imagery (as GeoTIFFs), processes the images, and combines them into composite images. Instead of writing the combined-band images locally, I want to upload them to Amazon S3. I tried using the S3Uploader in the same workspace, after the image processing transformers, but the data source options for the S3Uploader seem to be limited to existing files or expressions - I ended up uploading the original single-band images, rather than the processed images... Is it possible to upload the processed images directly to AmazonS3 without having to write them locally first (using FME Desktop)? Thank you! Courtney

Publishing Web Connections in FME Server 2017

Are web connections different from database connections when uploading to FME Server 2017? I have a named connection that I've already uploaded. When publishing, it shows as needing to be uploaded again. But when I try to upload it it says "Named connection already exists". When I uncheck the upload box it says "connection will be unavailable on FME Server". It looks like if I publish the workspace and ignore the "connection will be unavailable" message, it still works. Is this a known issue in 2017.1? I'm using Build 17539. @SteveAtSafe

Extremely slow workbench GUI - any optimization planned?

Hello,FME workbench has a strong tendency to take longer and longer to perform editing tasks (NOT translation) the bigger the workspace gets.Disclaimer: My workspace contains over 2100 transformers and I am aware that editing transformer links upstream will cause FME to recalculate downstream. However, my frustration is due to the fact that even minor modifications to very small independent workflows in the workspace seem to trigger the same recalculation as the workbench becomes unresponsive for 5-15 seconds every time I do something. This even happens when i move a transformer without altering any workspace logic. It even happens when I move an unconnected transformer! Extremely debilitating to productivity.Is this a known issue / any optimization planned?Using FME Workbench on Windows x64 2016.1. Confirmed on multiple PCs.

Use parameters in DatabaseJoiner

I noticed that I cannot use parameter values inside the DatabaseJoiner. Am I missing something? An example:When fetching a user parameter to use it is an attribute, the DatabaseJoiner joins another attribute from an excel file to my feature (upper part in the screenshot). When using the user parameter directly to join attributes from an excel, the transformer parameter button shows red and there is not output. The user parameter has its property 'Attribute Assignment' set to 'Default'. I found no relevant information on the forum or in the documentation of the DatabaseJoiner. Could anyone come up with a reason? The workaround using a ParameterFetcher solves the problem easily, but I was wondering why it is not possible to use a parameter directly. I am using FME 2017.1.0.0 (Build 17539 - WIN64). In the zip file you can find my example workspace and data.

Creating new attribute and assign data type

I am using ArcGIS 10.3 with Data Interoperability. I am creating new attribute fields within my processes but the data will be loaded later so I need to define the data type parameters within the workbench prior to data load. Some of the attributes will be strings (varchar) of various lengths and some will be integers or dates. I cannot find AttributeManager as an option within DI. Is there another way of defining the attribute fields?

Engines performance issue

We have a 4 vcpu server and just added a 4th engine. When all 4 engine run concurrently, CPU usage goes up 100%. In order to optmize performances, should we add core to our vCPU or add vCPU. My understanding is that an engin runs on only one core, therefore adding vCPU wouldn't help, wheras adding core to a vCPU could help optmize parallel processing?Tks.

Send email with content that has been written to sql table

Hi, I am creating a workbench that executes an sql query (select query) and writes the results to an MS SQL table. I would like to write the contents to an email. I have used the shut down python script before (emailing after workbench has run successfully and writes the number of features written) but I cannot find resources in writing the contents of what has been written to the SQL table. I have four rows and with four fields that gets appended every time the workbench is run. Is there a way to parse these values to the email? Thank you.

User Parameters and RegEx

The attached workspace demonstrates the problems I'm having with @ReplaceRegEx and user parameters. What I'm trying to do is create an output folder name QC within the folder where the input dataset is located.I've created a private user parameter named OutputFolder of type Folder (output) and set it's default value to:@ReplaceRegEx($(SourceDataset_MAPINFO),"^(.+)\\.+$","\1\QC")The intent of the workspace is to simply read the input dataset, create the output folder QC within input dataset folder, and finally write the input dataset to the output folder.When I run the workspace I get the following error messages:Could not create output folder `@ReplaceRegEx(C:\temp\InputGeometries.tab,^(.+)\.+$,\1\QC)' for use by MAPINFO writerCould not create output folder `@ReplaceRegEx(C:\temp\InputGeometries.tab,^(.+)\.+$,\1\QC)' for use by MAPINFO writerDestination Feature Type Routing Correlator(RoutingFactory): Could not create output folder `@ReplaceRegEx(C:\temp\InputGeometries.tab,^(.+)\.+$,
