Getting a list of items, workspaces, automations etc from fme flow

Hi everyone,

We are planning an fme upgrade shortly and I want to compile a list of the workspaces, automations and other items we have on our FME Flow instance to help plan for testing, and determining the amount of effort etc we will need to plan for.

Is there a way of doing this?

Does anyone have a process they can share?

Have had a look at using the api interface and http callers and could set something up with this, but hoping someone might have already done this that I could adapt for my systems. Or that there is a simpler native way that i have missed.

TIA

Jacky

I've been thinking of creating like a “FME Flow Quickscan” process, to do stuff like that: listing workspaces, connections etc. I haven't gotten around to doing it, but maybe I can whip something up in the next couple of weeks.

Hi ​@jackyd,

I don't think there's anything off hand - but some ways that you could go about it would be:

From the FME Flow Web UI:

  • Go to Repositories to view workspaces.
  • Go to Automations to view and export automations (.fmear).

If you want a full inventory, use FME Flow REST API:


FME Form with the HTTPCaller
Python script with requests

  • List repositories: GET /fmerest/v3/repositories
  • List workspaces: GET /fmerest/v3/repositories/{repo}/items
  • List automations: GET /fmerest/v3/automations (edited) 

Thank you!

You can export a backup, change the extension from fsbackup to zip and extract it. 
This will give you all the items as well as metadata to process that way.

Toying around with it for a little bit, got a list of workspaces and users, is there anything else you'd want to see ​@jackyd ?
