Automation

Hello All,I want to complete this in FME similar to how I did it in ArcPro below using Select by Location  Calculating the percentage of  area in each Grid Determine the number of  pixels within each grid Calculate the % of  areas within each grid by dividing the number of pixels by 111 111 and multiplying by 100 Generate the density map with density classes: 7 categories Example: if the grid has 35 000  pixels, then the percentage is 31.50%thanks!  

In a FME Flow Workspace App can users log in.How can I get the username as a variable in my workspace. Each user shall read and edit diffrent datasetts.  

I am having trouble setting up an FME Flow Workspace App. We have setup our environment to have many users added to the “fmeguest” group and have them pretty much exclusively use Flow by accessing Workspace Apps. For a while now we have been using the “Requires Authentication” option on our flow apps with “fmeguest” as an Allowed User. However this appears to now not be working. Any time we add any additional allowed user (above the author of the app) and hit ok to host the app, those users are dropped. When we return to the edit screen only the app creator has access again. This means no additional users can gain access to the flow apps, which very much defeats the purpose of them.  Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, might be a tricky one for people to replicate to help.  We are on FME Flow 2023.1.1.1 Any Ideas are welcome, fire them through and we will give them a go 😊  

Our FME Server was patched and rebooted, which left it in a bad state. The automations and schedules kept triggering jobs but no jobs were running. It wasn’t noticed over the weekend and we now have over 160,000 queued jobs and I can’t get the FME server to respond (it hangs at the login screen, API calls just hang). I’ve restarted services, the machine etc etc. I think the issue is the fmejobrestore starts restoring all these jobs to the queue when I restart the fme server services. I’d like to cancel all the queued jobs in the back end database. Can I remove the records from the fme_jobs table? Will this cause any issues? Thank you!Kathy

Has anyone managed to upload a ZIP file of Cesium 3D Tiles into Cesium Ion through its API? I can upload a CityGML through the CesiumIonConnector but want to try writing Cesium 3D Tiles and uploading the ZIP file. Thanks

Hello everyone,I have a problem with FME Flow 2023.2.2 and the module xarray 2024.2.0. I need xarray for reading netCDF data and have created a Python script for this in FME Form 2023.2.2. This also runs without any problems. However, when I upload this workspace to FME Flow and start it there, I always get the message that the run has failed.After some research I found out that FME Flow has problems executing the command xarray.open_dataset(). I'll post the script and the logs of FME Form and Flow:import fmeobjectsimport xarray as xrclass FeatureCreator(object): """Template Class Interface: When using this class, make sure its name is set as the value of the 'Class to Process Features' transformer parameter. """ def __init__(self): """Base constructor for class members.""" pass def input(self, feature: fmeobjects.FMEFeature): print("Assign file") file = '/dafis/OpMod/t_file_fine/t_file_fine_2024040300_006_012.nc' print ('File: ' + f

G’day, I have been having all sorts of issues trying to get the Out of the Box backupConfiguration.fmw tool to run via a schedule, I don't think it has worked properly since we installed FME Server about 6 years ago, we have just kind of ignored it and never made repairing it a priority. At one point we recreated the schedule from scratch as a result of me creating this topic (BackupConfiguration.fmw "Unable to retrieve backup from FME Server..." | Community (safe.com)), but that win was short lived. I have only just now realized there is a tab on the admin panel of FME Flow called “Backup & Restore”, and I am wondering if someone can tell me the difference between the two? The Backup & Restore tab has apparently run fine for as long as our logs go back (Sept 2023). Am I duplicating effort by trying to get backupConfiguration.fme to run? Or are they separate things? Just for interest's sake I have attached the log of the most recent run of backupConfiguration.fme including the

How long in terms of days is a log file saved after an Automation is run? is the log file overwritten the next time the same Automation runs? or is the log file archived somewhere? Also, the log files in Resources referenced below, how long are they saved? how often are new ones created and saved?Files & Connections - Resources - Logs - Engine - OldFiles & Connections - Resources - Logs - Core - Old

Hello , I am looking to generate a 10km x 10km grid (10 000m x 10 000m)with 30m  x 30m pixel what would be the best transformer to complete this ?

Hello, I’ve got two user parameters in my gallery app. A Generic reader where i chose what data to read in, in my case a ESRI geodatabase, and a featuretype user parameter to choose which feature class or layer to read in. I can’t seem to get this to work from ESRI gdbs. Anyone have any ideas? I can’t select the gdb, only a file in the gdb folder. Thanks 

Hello,I am using FME (ESRI version) and I built a project that reads fileXX.osm.pbf. I use a clipper and schema adjustment and write this to a .gdb (ESRI). In my project, I do this for a part in Norway. All is great so far.Now I want to use the same project but with a different osm.pbf file, a different clip file, and a different .gdb. I see that the project is reading, but when writing, I get a message that it did not work because names are different. I tried to save a template and start a new project from the template, but it's the same result.I hope someone can point out what I am doing wrong here.Greetings, Peter

Hi,I get the following error when trying to turn automations off, on a new install of FME Flow:Unable to disable 'run wb': 929028:SQL Query SELECT ncid, connectionname, connectiontype, servicename, username FROM fme_nc_namedconnections WHERE username IS NULL ORDER BY username DESC failed. Error: Could not find prepared statement with handle 1. I had a look in the forums about a similar error with creating db connections but that doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I also can't run workbenches using the 'Run workspace' screen as I get this error which is most likely tied to our SSL certificates? There was an error submitting the job.This is the reason for the automations - I'm having to trigger jobs through the automation screen to run any jobs Unfortunately I wasn't involved in the setup of this environment but any advice is welcome.  Many thanks, Sam

Hello everyone,I'm currently in the process of learning FME as it's just been introduced into our projects. However, there's not much guidance available at the moment, so I'm hoping to get some help here.I have a specific task involving two values: Owner ID (OID) and associated account (AA). We have our own API service that can provide additional details using the AA. My aim is to make HTTP calls with the AA values while ensuring the control remains based on OID.DATA format example:In simpler terms, when OID is set to 1, I want to input all associated AA values into the caller (one by one of course).However, I've heard that loops aren't generally recommended in FME workflows.Can anyone advise if this is possible within FME, and if so, how I might go about it without resorting to loops?Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance! 

Hi,I have an email attachment automation that downloads attachments to the shared resource folder, but when it is time to run the workspace I get a permission denied error on email.attachments path.FME Flow 2023.2IMAP email with client keyThe automation runs successfully if there is a single attachment and configured to run email.attachment. The problem is email signatures and multiple attachments are present most of the time so I need to run email.attachements to get down to the xlsx I need to load.Why do I get a permissions error on multi file, but not single file?Thanks,Steve

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.Essentially the only thing I need is a setup that sends an e

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
