Automation

I would like to take a number of dwg files from one location, change the coordinate system, and save them to another location with a suffix i.e. '_newfile'.I have the code for the coordinate conversion, but am having trouble with the bulk input and output with the suffx- any help with code would be much appreciated, thanks!

I have FME Server trigger event late at night and it will automatically email with the report right after the workspace has completed. Is there anyway to delay the email to send in early morning instead even though workspace still ran at night? Thank you!

Hello all. I'm new to FME Server Automations and I'm wondering about the Filter Action "Contains String" syntax. I want to filter on the Job Status Output text from the previous workspace run, and I'm wondering if you can add more than one text string to search for. I've tried a few ways and can't seem to find documentation specifically on this. I have it working searching for one specific string which needs no formatting at all, simply entering "FME_BEGIN_PYTHON script returned error on execution" filters correctly. Any info or assistance would be appreciated!I'm working with FME Server 2019.1.3.1.Thanks!

I will make a backup from my current Windows machine, Will it be possible to restore it on that machine? Thanks.

once i stoped an automation and again i want to start is its giving error "Unable to enable xxxxxx There was an issue with component "Workspace". Subscription e39f275f-b7d6-4006-89a9-bec0b5e5d8d7-b9c6a63a-bc2d-2914-9906-35915d3c392d already exists.

What I need is an easy example of how to publish a single workspace to the server in a Python script.

We have an FME Server automation configured for IMAP to read unread emails as they arrive. This is set to polling every 1 minute. The issue we are encountering, is that emails that arrive from a 3rd party server do not have the attachments in FME Server, however, i see the attachments to the emails in outlook and OWA. If i forward the email with the attachment to email inbox FME Server is monitoring, then it does pickup the attachment. Could it be FME server is processing the email before exchange has downloaded the attachment? thanks,Raviteja

Hi, I have two published workspaces that I want to delete - changes made and name of workspace changed. Don't want to confuse anyone down the road that may be needing to update the server automations. I haven't found any place to remove published workspaces. Any pointers? Right now, at 2019.1; will be upgrading to 2021.0.1 very soon.Thanks!Lorinda

while setting up an automation for sending a mail its giving error "an exception occurred. invalid addresses"

Hey everyone, new to FME. Not a professional in GIS, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on terminology. I'm using this guide and I've followed the instructions, as well as downloaded the provided workbench file, but for some reason, I can't get my .LAS/.LAZ files to convert properly. Using the first method from the guide yields the weird image above. Does anyone know what's wrong? I've tried this with a few files and it doesn't seem that my files are the issue. I've uploaded the project file to this post.

Hi. I have to load a lot of FGDB in another one. The file geodatabsae have the same schema. Can you help meThank. 

 I know how to do it with a workspace and HTTPCaller and with the Rest API but I would like to know if it is possible directly through the external action : "Make an HTTP request" and if so how.Thanks!

My customer wants to use the IAM Role when authenticating in an Automation action, writing to an S3 bucket. When building the automation, it is required to specify a AWS Access Key ID and a AWS Secret Access Key.  I found some input on IAM Roles for a S3Connector in Workbench, but not on the FME Server external action.  Does anyone have experience with this?

Good morning everyone, Imput1: a group of polylines in SHP or KMZ format and a LAS file. Imput2: Several LAS files How to output a Las file containing the closest points (from the imput2) to the line every 50 meters? Thank you. Alex

Unable to run FME workbench with Python setup on Task scheduler. It runs fine when I run manually. It gives 0x1 error.

The whole workspace runs daily by means of a schedule, all the readers point to their respective CSV files URL, but the last created reads from another CSV source, and inserts in Google BigQuery the same amount of records obtained from such wrong CSV, but with null values. Is it recommended to change from schedule to automation?

Hi all,  I've publish my workspace with SQL Server connection to FME Server and build an automation from that. However, the error message "MSSQL_SPATIAL writer: Failed to open writer" is returned when I run the automation.   I've check all three workaround given in this article, " https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-and-sql-server-troubleshooting-guide " but none of them works. Anyone have any idea or suggestions on how can I resolve this issue?

General info: There is a survey123 with a webhook to run a workspace in fme server. Webhook is only for new entries, not edited.  Test:From any Windows OS, once the survey is filled out, the webhook is triggered: a json file is sent to FME server and the workspace runs (i can see a completed job).  Test 2:From an iOS (tablet), survey is filled out. Not sure if the webhook is triggered, but there is no json file on FME Server and no jobs, running or queue or completed.  Question: Is there something on survey123 I can look at to know that the webhook was triggered? Is there an issue from an iOS device?  I don't have an android device to test on so not sure if the problem is mobile device specific or just iOS. Would appreciate any insight.

Hi all,  I would like store the historical data in FME Server to MS SQL Server database. I have successfully store the data from FME Desktop to the SQL Server. Then I have publish the workspace to FME server to do the automation which will update the data daily at 9.00 AM.    However, I couldn't store and view the past data in the database once the data is update after the automation. Any suggestions?

We've upgraded to fme server 2021, and when we build a new automation, it's impossible to use a value from upstream and pass it to a workspace parameter when the parameter type is not plain text. Before with fme 2020, its was possible to set a choice parameter with a uptream value.   Is this a bug, or a new behavior for fme server 2021 ?

I have a set of data which contains an attribute name (header/title) which I have to use an an attribute value for a new attribute. At the moment, I am using attribute creator to create a new attribute and then attribute manager to add this to existing data. However I am unable to set the new attribute value as one of the attribute name of existing data (which I read in using reader transformer). Any help will be highly appreciated.

Has anyone configured an FME trigger webhook as an outgoing webhook in Teams? It'd be very nice to just @ an automation without leaving Teams. I've got an automation triggered by a webhook that can be triggered no problem using curl, but trying to use that webhook in Teams gets an immediate failure ("Sorry, there was a problem encountered with your request"). It looks like Teams may be expecting a particular response (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45743782/custom-bot-always-replies-with-an-error) and I'm not sure whether FME provides that / how to troubleshoot from here.

I want to remove the FILECOPY_1 path from the data download zip file from FME Server when using the filecopy writer, and can't figure out why it isn't being removed. When I enable the Data Download service on FME Server when publishing, I make sure to set the Path in the Zip File to empty, but I still receive the data download file in the structure listed below. Current Download File FormatFME_3637254D_1587574658508_152.zip\\FILECOPY_1\\examplefile.txtFormat I Want to ReceiveFME_3637254D_1587574658508_152.zip\\examplefile.txtAny ideas as to what I can do to remove the "FILECOPY_1" from the download zip from FME Server?  Below is an image showing how I have it setup for FME Server.  FME Server 2020.0.0.1

FME server documentation states:Note: Each IMAP Publisher created on FME Server must reference a unique email account. You cannot create multiple IMAP Publishers that reference the same address.However, I have done some testing with this and I have created more than one publisher with the same IMAP email. Bother publishers work. Am I missing something? Is there going to be a future error or fault? Where is the conflict with this? Thanks.

Hello, I've made a workbench that downloads data to Shape automatically once per month from https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/hwh/eenheden/wms/v1_0?request=getcapabilities&service=wms (WMS).  This time I would like to make a workbench that compares the geometry and administrative data from the Shape files with each other (January-February, February-March and so on). I am thinking about doing this with the ChangeDetector transformer, but that's where my idea stops. Could anyone give me advice on this?  Many thanks,Claire
