Automation

Hi. I have a folder name PLAN. In the folder PLAN i have a lot of subfolders (B53, B54, B89, etc..). More then 500. In each subfolder (b55 for example) i have a subfolder name TERRITOIRE (PLAN/B54/TERRITOIRE, PLAN/B109/TERRITOIRE), and also other folders with other name. I want copy TERRITOIRE subfolder from each subfolder in a new folder with the name of subfolder.NEWFOLDER/B56/ TERRITOIRENEWFOLDER/B55/TERRITOIRE. Thank for help.    

The result of my workspace is several geojson files. For usability purposes, I want to include a fixed template .qgz file which is already on the server in the zip, so end users can immediately open it in QGis.However, I can't find a way to get this to work with the Data Download service.​As a proof of concept, I created a minimal example that just loads a binary file, and writes it again. However, the AttributeFileWriter can't be selected as a Writer output for the Data Download service. Is there another way to include arbitrary binary files with data download?

Hi! I created a workbench in FME Desktop 2019.1 (build 19608) that uses `RasterObjectDetectFactory'. Everything works fine in desktop, but when I try to run it in FME Server I get the following message. FME server is running the same version and build as desktop."Library 'D:\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\plugins/opencv/rasterobjectdetectfactory.dll' was found but could not be loaded. Ensure that all the dependent modules exist for this library"This FME edition does not recognize the `RasterObjectDetectFactory' factory. Please ensure that the current platform supports this factory, the factory name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins What's wrong?

I have a directory watch which triggers a workspace. This Workspace should be executed only once. But unfortunately with every detected file/folder a job starts. Is it possible to avoid this behavior? I use FME Server 2020.1 Thank you for your help! Sorry in advance if this topic has been discussed here before! I've couldn't find anything.

Hello FME users. Is FME capable of automating other software? I am processing photogrammetry and Lidar with a complicated software that requires a lot of repetitive steps which are more or less the same every time. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm getting this statusmessage (Parameter 'DestDataset_ORACLE_NONSPATIAL_7' must be given a value) when running a FME Workbench script as a scheduled FME Server job once a day. Can't figure out, what it means.The connections are embedded in the FME script. However, when I run it under my own user, or the FME Server admin user, it works fine, so I can't do any error searching or further testing.Any ideas on how to understand and resoive this problem will be appreciated??

I am struggling to ouput rasters correctly when using the GeospatialPDF writer. My source file is a PDF that has text, image, vector and raster data. It's the raster that is giving me the trouble. When isolating the raster and sending to the GeospatialPDF Writer, some of it comes comes out ok, but the rest has a black background. Interestingly, the colors are switched when viewed from Google Drive! What is going on here??? Viewing the raster directly from the GeoSpatialPDF Reader, it looks more or less normal (should just be a straight white background for everything). My workspace is literally a Reader and a Writer, that's it. The goal is to be able to render the output pages exactly as the original, using the data from the other objects for a fanout. Any ideas? Thanks,@lorenrouth​ 

It's quite often that FeatureReaders get 'stuck' at reading features, everything is loaded fast through the <Generic> port but the <Schema> is loading almost 1features/second. How can this be improved?I'm attaching my options 

Hello everyone! I have a really serious problem, which could ruin my show to an important client early next week, and I would really love to help. I have an automation that is operated by watch directoery. I use a file that comes to the folder in the next operation in automation, by filepath.The problem is that the next workbench, reads the filepath badly. (All files are on the server). Here is an example of the log files: The 1609, is from automation which I used {file.path}.as you can see,The system stops as soon as it does not recognize the dwg file.And in work 1610, I put the same file, but set it up manually.Then it worked wellI looked closely, and I think I know what the problem was,​When it reads the file in 1609, it reads it like this:​file_dwg: $(TiuomMaarhot) Petah_Tikva \\ kb-2021-5 \\ Received Files \\ tb400031528.dwg​But in 1610 he reads it like this:​file_dwg: $(TiuomMaarhot) / Petah_Tikva / kb-2021-5 / Received Files / tb400031528.dwg​The difference is in the direction o

I have an automation in FME Server 2020.1. I changed the workbench being triggered advanced setting from run until cancelled so that it is no longer checked but this change is being ignored and the log shows that it is still using that setting. Perhaps this is being cached? Anything I can do to force the change to be applied?

I've been able to create a Workspace that gathers PDF's -> ZIP them -> Attaches files -> to Emailer Transformer. The file only needs to be temporary until the Workspace is complete.I'm trying to understand FME Server Resources and using [FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP] or [FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA] within a Workspace but no success. Are these the wrong location or not accessibleORDo I need to follow and create a new location "Example 4: Using a Resource Folder Within a Workspace" in https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-server-resources-uploading-referencing-and-con-1

FME Server Automations, I see External Action Parameter for "Email Cc (optional)" I'm wondering if there is an incoming Trigger->Otuput Keys->Event Keys for CC (Carbon Copy) for emails?

On our FME Server (version 2019.0.2) we have many Automations running; and many Automations include a schedule.I would like to get the time and day when the Automation is running. I can't find this in the API, is there any other way I could extract this information?

I have an automation setup that monitors a directory for XML files on create and modify. Once the automation is triggered it passes the file to a workbench I published. The work bench automation reads the XML file and the ArcGIS SDE feature class and performs a feature merger to see if the unique key already exists(if the key doesn't exist the xml record gets inserted to an ArcGIS SDE Feature Class. If the key does exist the record gets updated through a change detector.) I ran into a problem where the FME Server job must have been triggered twice where the second job was created 7 seconds after the first. The first time on create trigger the record was inserted properly but on the second modify trigger when the work bench runs it created a duplicate record instead of updating the existing. I suspect this happened because the first job ran but didn't finish before the second job began. Is there a workflow I can follow in preventing this from happening?  I would like the auto

Thanks to @danminneyatsaf​ for answering my previous question about the SQS Trigger in Automation and certificate failures. I was able to solve because SQS has a Queue URL in the parameters for the trigger and register the SQS certificate as a trusted certificate on FME Server.  With S3 when I try to connect I get the following error again. The "Bucket to Watch" is the bucket name. I've tried going to the bucket url and using the certificate from there and still have the problem. Any ideas which address the S3 trigger is going to? 

When setting up an automation trigger using Amazon SQS I get the above error. Is this something anyone has seen before? It might be our firewall. We do use a proxy server that has had certificate issues before. Sometimes we have to ignore SSL warnings.

Has anyone been able to automate the upload of data to Mapbox? I would really like help with this process if you have successfully completed this. Thanks in advance

Hi, I am new using FME for cartography and I am not sure how can I create those elements in a raster map (north, graticule of coordinates, scale bar), I am currently using Mapnik rasterizer transformer to represent my raster and vector layers, and some labels, but I can't see how can I go from that to a complete map with all its elements. Thanks in advance!

I have an automation that has 3 workspaces.I run this every 5 minutes. the first workspace takes approx 2.5 mins to run. the second and third only a second or two each. The first and second jobs always show up in completed. only sometimes does the final job get created. But it does get created and run successfully sometimes. I understand that if the second job fails the 3rd one would likely not get created. I do have a few fails on job #2 but it still does not correlate the number of #3 jobs missing. how can I troubleshoot this?

hello,I remember that it is possible to start the automation when new source files are coming in a folder from file system, or by email, but this time I'll need to run the script just after the input file is modified.Example:I have an xls file with locations. When I add new lines with coordinates and save the file, the script will automatically transform the data based on new data coming from this xls file. Any ideas will be much appreciated. Cheers,nicu

Hi,I have a script that does an area calculation using arcpy, the two calculated areas are output in the log, I need each one of them to be output as an attribute, how to do this? I'm new to python at FME.  log: The output, it doesn't help me at all.  Thank you for your help  

Hey community!I need some coach, anytime I run any script, FME ask me what is the input file.Can I remove this option? (Attached image).Tnkx a lot to everybody!

Looking for more information on FME Server 2018 and Fault Tolerance.

I would like to start using python with FME. I have some scripts that I need to run several times, passing parameters, could someone show me examples and how to pass parameters in attributes in FME? thanks

Like the title says I want to take the csv file and store it in one of my resource folders but nothing ever gets written because the CSV contents show up as the body not the attachment.
