Right now I test if MTF (manged file transfer site) or UNC file location are going to pass, because what's the point of proceeding if network IT services are not available for file storage. If I terminate I'll have the find failed email and manually resend to FME Server. Is this possible for FME Server to hold the job and resubmit in an hour instead of just terminating?

Hello All,There are a lot of questions around this topic (ie., https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/51878/how-to-setattribute-lists-in-pythoncaller.html), but somehow I'm not able to make it work. Here is the background:I have an xml that I'm reading it and getting some attributes to pass them in FME for further processing. I have created a list of dict in order to group them, below is the code I'm using: domain.append({'chartnumb_value':chartnumb_value, 'nm_numbers': get_chart_nm_numbers(update), 'region': get_region(update)})print domainHere is the print of the above::[{'nm_numbers': u'3040(P)/17', 'region': u'UNITED ARAB EMIRATES', 'chartnumb_value': u'Chart No: 8101'}][{'nm_numbers': u'3027(P)/17', 'region': u'BANGLADESH', 'chartnumb_value': u'Chart N

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you have a way of running automatically FME on a certain ".fmw" file, at a said date and hour.  I checked the "automator" but I am unsure if it's the best option. Any ideas?

Hello,I'm looking for this transformer : https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1273/looping-with-blocking-transformers.htmlBut the data are missing...Could you help me to find this?Thanks a lotBR

Hi All,Just wondering what is the best option to flatten a list on each row to attributes? I know the lists are set at the same size index wise but wondering on the best methodthanks

I have a Condition Statement within AttributeManager that checks if an attribute has a letter at the end of the value. If this is true then I use Substring to drop the last character.However, when I use the above it always returns the original value (ex. 999a returns 999a instead of 999).It does not seem to work with any negative number at the end but if I change -2 to a positive number like 3 it works and returns 999. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong here?Regards

I am using a Condition Statement in the AttributeManager to check if the attribute ends with a letter. Using [a-z] does not seem to work and I am assuming it is because the test sees it as text not a Regular Expression. Is there a way to get this to work or do I need to have a Test Clause for each letter of the alphabet? Regards

For all transformers it is possible to change the 'Transformer Name'. Why is not it possible for the FMEServerTransformers (at least in the version FME2016)? Is there a specific reason here? I'm using the FMEServerJobSubmitter in my workspace very often, so i would like to be able to customize the name accordingly.

I have a workspace with a dynamic writer writing to postGIS. The source for the writer is a csv spreadsheet which is loaded from a workspace resource using schema (from table). The reader reads a table named "test", and the writer outputs to a table named "Mapped". It is essentially based on this tutorial:https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1046/dynamic-workflow-tutorial-destination-schema-is-de-1.html except that I don't use fme_feature_type as the writer table name.This is my csv source file:The columns all appear to be mapped correctly.This is the writer:This wa

I'm writing a code to run workspaces in python but I think that I found a bug with the FMEWorkspaceRunner.getPublishedParamNames function. This function is returning the private parameters from a workspace and it shouldn't.import syssys.path.append('C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeobjects\\python27')import fmeobjectsrunner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner()print runner.getPublishedParamNames('test.fmw')The output: ['a', 'b', 'privateparam']"privateparam" is private and it is not checked as published in the workspace

I am currently using FME Desktop 2017.1. My question is: is there a way to set up a workbench so that whenever I add a new reader, it will automatically check off the FME_FEATURE_TYPE within the Feature Type Format Attributes?Thank you for your time.

Hi guys,We have a routine job that reads 5 million records from a Oracle non-spatial table (runs on fmeserver, 2017). During a recent run it completed successfully but only processed 2 million records. The log looks normal, it is as if the source db only had 2 million records - which is not the case when checked. Normally we would get a oracle/connection error if there was a network failure - the job does take a while to run. Has anyone seen behaviour like this before? Thanks!Grace

When using the E57 writer, I've been unable to assign specific names to the scans in the point cloud file. In my case I only have three names, and those are in attributes waiting for a place to use them. It seems the writer uses the file's basename for the first scan, and then appends _001, _002, etc. to any others. I'm hoping there's more flexibility and that some smart person will tell me where to find it. TIA

Attempting to edit a workbench file this morning but the file in question won't open.  Choosing file->open and selecting the file does nothing - no error, workbench remains blank, wording in title bar still displays Untitled - NONE, file name isn't in the list of recently open files.  The script itself works fine and runs daily via a .bat file  We have upgraded to the latest service pack since I last looked at this file but it only seems to be this file that is affected.  Is there anything I can try to get this file to open up in workbench?   

Reading a WMS using Feature Reader WMS, search envelope based on an bounding box "Envelope Intersect", however the resulting Image is just the overview image, how can I make sure i get the image clipped to the best resolution per the bounding box?what I have tried alreadyensured coordinate systems are the sameattempted to use ImageFetcher, no luck with querying based on coordinatesverified the WMS is ok, by viewing in OpenLayersAny help would be great, Thank you ;)

I'm new to FME.I have a text file listing about 90 features from an ESRI enterprise geodatabase. I want to convert each listed feature from the geodatabase to its own geojson file. What's the most efficient way to do this? The only way I've found is to make a separate reader and writer one at a time in workbench, which isn't ideal. Is it possible to have FME read the text file to get the parameter names then make readers and writers from that, perhaps using python?

Hi I have made a second shared resource folder in the fmeServerConfig.txt file.SHAREDRESOURCE_TYPE_8=FILE SHAREDRESOURCE_NAME_8=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATAADA SHAREDRESOURCE_DISPLAYNAME_8=DataADA SHAREDRESOURCE_DESCRIPTION_8=This shared resource is the Server data directory SHAREDRESOURCE_ISMIGRATABLE_8=true SHAREDRESOURCE_DIR_8=G:/apps/ada SHAREDRESOURCE_SECURITY_DEFAULT_ROLES_8=fmeadmin|fmeauthor|adaauthor SHAREDRESOURCE_SECURITY_DEFAULT_OWNER_8=adminI can see the resource in the GUI and give authorusers access etc. But I cannot figure out how to access the resource as an FME Server Parameter. I cannot add a new FME Server Parameter in FME Desktop. And if I just use the parameter FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATAADA I get an error when I run the workspace on FME Server:Undefined macro `FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATAADA' dereferenced in file `BI\\ADADataSharetestd\\ADADataSharetestd.fmw'T

Hi all Im trying to super optimize a workbench I have that reads a bunch of data from a mssql database, the workbench has 2 published parameters that i use to set years in the "Where" clauses of readers. both parameters have years as values, the parameters are$(year)$(year_minus_1)Is there any way to base the parameter $(year_minus_1) on $(year) and then minus one year. if the value of $(year) is 2017 the value of $(year_minus_1) should be 2016.Is it possible to do this so you only have to input 1 parameter?I know its not a big thing but it would make the running of the workspace every year easier for other people running it.

Hi guys,I have a problem loading arcgis layer to the workbench. After licence is checked out, I've got a pop up error 'FME has checked out an Esri license. The product checked out is 'ArcInfo'.

HelloI have a workbench which is launched from FME server by an end user, let's call it Workbench_A.This workbench has an FMEServerJobSubmitter to call another workbench, Workbench_B.Is it possible to somehow have the FMEServerJobSubmitter in Workbench_A inherit the credentials that were used to call Workbench_A, for using when calling the subjob Workbench_B?I know of the FME Server parameter FME_SECURITY_USER, but I do not know of any password parameter. My alternatives are 1) hardcode a username and password on the FMEServerJobSubmitter, and2) add Published Parameters to Workbench_A to have the end user provide their fme server credentials for use in the FMEServerJobSubmitterBoth of these are undesirable as option 1 has the usual issues surrounding hardcoding credentials anywhere, and option 2 could be confusing to the end user.

Hello all We are using FME Desktop SP14 and have a project where we use quite a lot of input tables (aprox. 20-30) from different sources (GE Smallworld, MS Access and Oracle through ODBC) to one MS Access file. The full process uses 3 different frameworks that must be executed on the correct order and with several user parameters (ie. initial and end date). We looked for some method, easy for an end user, for running those frameworks. At first it seemed promising to use the transformer Workspacerunner. But with several tries detected that the reader from SmallWorld seems to become very slow when interacting with this transformer. Tried to implement the process on a batch file and, after solving some issues from the use of dates, it worked like a charm. So, the big question is, the Workspacerunner transformer was never intended to be used this way? perharps it is something that processes the features on a one-by-one basis (it seemed to us that this was wh
