Automation

We have an automation that has been running more than a month but now stopped working suddenly. It is supposed to read specific emails from the FME inbox. Yesterday it read the email just fine but today the email isn’t recognized and is still unread many hours later. I don’t see any difference between yesterdays email and todays email, they look the same to me. Other email-reading automations have run just fine after this one stopped working.I have tried restarting the automation, resend the mail to the mailbox but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?

I guess that’s a very easy one, but I can’t find the right answer.I created a gallery app, and the user can provide an email address to receive the results of the run.Unfortunately, while the workspace runs trough, and when staying on the page I get also a working download link for the data, the email is never sent.What I would like to know is, how I should set up the email service on FME Server. I can choose between ‘Automation’ or ‘Notification → Subscription’.The automation keeps me puzzled on what trigger I should use to say a user started the run of a workspace, and please use the provided email address to send the email. The subscription seems to be a bit more straight forward and I would aim for the Email protocol , and set the subscription topic to JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS, but then I am lost in the protocol settings when it comes to the ‘Email To- part, and to know what actually will be in the body of the email.Es

I have followed the instructions in the below post to run a workspace from python.https://community.safe.com/s/article/run-an-fme-workspace-from-python-using-fmeworkspacAfter a bit of messing about appending the relevant paths I got the fmeobjects to import but when I try to initiate the FMEWorkspaceRunner class I get 'ERRORFMEException: 1: An error has occurred' with no other details. Extract of code below:import osimport syssys.path.append(r"C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Data Interoperability for ArcGIS Pro")sys.path.append(r"C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Data Interoperability for ArcGIS Pro\\fmeobjects\\python39")sys.path.append(r"C:\\Program Files\\Arc

Hello,Does FME have a transformer or does HTTPCaller support Uploading to Sharefile.com.I have setup an HTTPCaller to authenticate then a FeatureRead to get the zip file then an HTTPCaller to POST and upload.  In both cases I get _http_status_code 200 but no upload.Thanks for any help,

Hi,I am very new to FME and thought this would be a good exercise to get my feet wet.However, I am having trouble locating help based on workbooks updates.I have two workbooks named A and B for the example.They both common worksheet names. I want to read both workbooks, identify the common worksheet and update from a specific location from worksheet A to a specific location in worksheet B.Cheers Steve  

Is there a way to include the errors and warnings in an Automation’s log file in an email (external action)? Which Key would this be, or do I need to create a global key that would include this information?

I have an automation that runs every 15 minutes on a single engine with a ‘repeat on interval’ schedule trigger. Usually, it takes less than 10 minutes but sometimes it can take more than 15 minutes and once a week on mode overwrite it takes about 25 minutes. If one of the workspaces of the automation is still in progress, is there a way to skip the trigger for the next automation?

Has anyone else had problems copying and pasting the Automation Webhook trigger URL? In my case, the URL text is grayed out, although when clicking the clipboard icon the response says, “Copied!”, but nothing is on the clipboard. We are running FME Flow 2023.1.2 Build 23641 - win64.

I want to integrate my Survey123 with FME.I have added a Webhook triggered event and copied/pasted its URL into Survey123.Then, I configured the Log File Added Action to log a message with the format set to 'Message content'.I initiated the automation process. However, upon adding data to the survey and checking the 'view log file', it appears that nothing is being captured by FMEServer.Is there anyone who has same issue or know how to solve it.Thank you so much in advance 

I made a deployment parameter with some email-addresses in but when I use it to send emails I get an error in the automation log, see below. I have commas between the addresses in the parameter. Default Recipients    : deployment.Fel_mail_adresser        <-------this is my parameterSending email with subject "abcd..." to recipient(s) "deployment.Fel_mail_adresser" …An exception occurred. Invalid AddressesFailed to send email.

  Hi I am using FME Server 2021, configured with high availability ( There are 14 engines configured on 2 machinesI have an automation which is triggered by reading a JMS queue. It is configured to run on a specific engine and queue. It is failing intermittently once or twice in a week. But there is no log file created. It says The log file for job ID "xx" does not exist. There is no issue with disk space.In the result data, the status message says ‘Job did not complete’ Any suggestions? Any idea where I can get more information about this issue? 

We have a workspace that ends with a Terminator sometimes. The workspace is run in an automation, but when the workspace stops with the Terminator we don’t get the error email. How is the Terminator ending handled by the automation - is it considered that the workspace has ended ok or failed?Must I send emails in the workspace to get it to work?

We recently upgraded from FME Server v2021 (with Windows Authentication) to FME Flow v2023 (with SAML Authentication) and now receive an FME Flow Error: "Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions" when attempting to share items (e.g. Automations, Projects, etc.). As a troubleshooting test, my account published a fresh and simple workspace and created a simple automation without any database or web connections, and therefore appears to be the owner of both the workspace and the automation. However, whenever I click the button to share even this simple Automation with another user I receive the "Unauthorized..lack of proper permissions error".  Sharing automations and projects worked prior to the upgrade. Now, we are unable to share any of them, no matter how simple or complex. What might we have missed, or what configuration item should we look into to re-enable the owners of items to share them

Greetings, I created an Automation and when one of the workspaces fail I would like to receive an email that includes in the body the actual text of the error(s) as shown in the screenshot below, not necessarily that format, but at least the text.In the Email (External Action), I added these keys, but when the workspace got an error, I received the vague and cryptic text here in the email body:Error Message: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsError Type: DeadLetterJob Status: FME_FAILUREJob Status Message: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details I would assume that “Error Message” would include something like what is seen in the screenshot.Any ideas how the log file errors can be added to the email body?

HiI have a long line of text_line_data that contains payment details.I want to save the data to a data or text file but have the body of the data split at every 100 characters and then print the next payment detail so that each persons output is on a new line until there are no more details.I have used string padders to get each attribute and testers to create an attribute containing payment details from 1-100, 100-200, 200-300 etc. which does work but is not dynamic.  Is there an easier way to split text every 100 characters to a new line? Any help/hints would be appreciated.Basically, I’d like to output the following long attribute text_line_data…….1234567890123456789012345678901    00000001234TEXTT EXT TEXTTEX 01234            MR & MRS SMITH     1234567890123456789012345678901    00000001234TEXTT EXT TEXTTEX 01234            MR & MRS SMITH      1234567890123456789012345678901    00000001234TEXTT EXT TEXTTEX 01234            MR & MRS

My goal is to compare a publicly shared County parcel layer to one for a Village I am working with inside the County. Look for geometry edits, pin changes, and new parcels. I do not have any login access for the County layer. I'm new to this, so any advice is appreciated. My process flow will be something like -> Read Parcels, some sort of spatial filter -> compare geometry and attributes Here's my questionWhat the best/most efficient method to achieve this? Here's the rest endpoint.https://gis.willcountyillinois.com/hosting/rest/services/Basemap/Parcels_LY_DV/MapServer/1 Thanks!

I am using ArcGIS GeoEvent Server 10.6.1 and FME Form 2021.In FME Form, is there a way to either reset the statistics in GeoEvent Server or notify me via an email when the Count reaches a certain number? For example, in GeoEvent Server, there is a Count column. I would like an email sent to me when the Count reaches 1,200,000. Currently, GeoEvent Server does not have a way to notify a user if the Count reaches a certain number. I was wondering if there is a way to do this in FME Form?  

Are there any free options out there to use an instance of FME Server (Flow) to be used only for Safe Software’s tutorials or training?

We are in the process of migrating Projects from one FME Flow ( server  ) to another.   The old server is on FME 2021.2 and has been upgraded in place for several years.  So we are cherry picking projects to move to the new server that is running the latest FME Flow.  The old server has several schedules that have mostly been phase out (disabled) but still are on the old server for historical purpose.  While creating a project and trying to include schedules I do not get all of the schedules listed in the Project → Add ->Schedules dialog.  only the first 100 get listed in the sorted pick list and I see not way to get to the others. Has anyone else seen this issue?  Any workaround suggestions would be greatly appreciated.    I have thought of removing the in active projects or renaming the ones I want with a prefix “A1_” or something like that but wanted to check with the community.   Thx in advance.

Hi FME community,I am currently developing a validation script to compare two datasets derived from different versions of the same model, exported as .csv files from Navisworks.The script aims to ensure that the values for Translation X, Y, Z, and Rotation Axis X, Y, Z remain consistent across each version of the model. For instance, the .dwg file "PBD-ALG-SITE-EQP-ACD.dwg" from 27/02/2024 should exhibit identical translation and rotation values when compared to the version from 06/03/2024.Upon confirming that all values are consistent across different versions, the script will assign a "Pass" status, or “Fail” if a value is inconsistent.I'm seeking guidance on the most effective method to achieve this.Cheers. 

Hi there,I am attempting to set up automated email notifications with the workbench attached via FME.I have followed the instructions present on the Help document for the transformers called as FMEFlowEmailGenerator & FME Server Notifier. However its not sending the emails through.I have set up new working connections to FMEServerNotifier, using my own login details connecting to FME-TEST, which is FME Flow. No email is being sent. I ran this via FME dekstop, which should work according to documentation:

I have several database connections under Files & Connections in FME server. The passwords of these databases change frequently and currently I’m updating them manually. Is there any way to automate updating the credentials of these database connections under FME server ? Any API available ? Thanks in advance 

I have a workspace in FME Flow but I don’t know wich automation it’s used in. How do I find it? We have 75 automations, I don’t want to manually search through them. It hasn’t run in a while so I didn’t find it under Jobs/Completed.

Hi All, I had a case with FME flow where I could create automations and run them, but received an error when trying to turn them off : We fixed the issue by updating the JDBC drivers and everything worked fine.I then moved to a different environment (production) and assume that this fix had been applied but it hadn’t. I created an automation and then could not turn it off, so I deleted it.When I look at the automations page I can see that there are no automations, but the one I setup and deleted is still running jobs on its scheduled interval (every 10 minutes). I had to delete the workspaces from FME flow to avoid these from running. Does anyone know if I can go into the FME SQL Database and delete the automation from one of the tables? I don't know if there is any dependencies on Primary/Fore
