Automation

Hi - Wondering if this is possible? Having a global rule that can send an email if a workbench fails as opposed to having to consider this each time within an automation. Thanks

We have upgraded from FME 2014 to 2020 and we want to take advantage of the new available features.The problem here is that I thought automations would make everything easier and could replace things like using shutdown python scripts to do whatever when the workspace fails or end as expected but I don't see automations can help us when our trigger would be just the execution of an FME Server app.Any ideas?

AllI have set up a scheduled task to be run via the windows task scheduler and NOT on FME Server. If I run the work bench everything is fine, as it is when i run the workbench via the .bat file. However, when I try to get Task Scheduler to run the .bat file it says it has completed, however checks show it has not. When looking at the log file i see these lines2021-07-19 13:28:29|   0.3|  0.0|INFORM|Opening the Esri Geodatabase reader2021-07-19 13:28:32|   1.3|  1.0|INFORM|The ArcObjects license 'Advanced' is being selected from the ESRILicenseInfo ArcObjects call2021-07-19 13:28:32|   1.3|  0.0|INFORM|The Esri Product license used by this machine does not include licenses for the 'Advanced' licensing level2021-07-19 13:28:32|   1.3|  0.0|ERROR |Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility setting. This 64-bit version of FME requires 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, ArcGI

Is there any way to send a single, aggregated email listing all failed workspaces if multiple workspaces in an FME Server Automation fail?For example, if I have 3 workspaces running in parallel and 2 of the 3 fail, I'd like a single email telling me which 2 failed.It looks like this might be possible with the new Split-Merge block in FME 2021 but, unfortunately, I'm on FME Server 2020.

I am wanting to trigger a very simple automation using a webhook. There is no need to pass any parameters - I just need the automation to run two workspaces. When I set up the webhook, copy the webhook url, and then start the automation, the webhook fails to run if I call it.  What puzzles me is that configuring a webhook using the automations (as opposed to creating a webhook for a specific workspace) doesn't add a token that I can manage under User Settings >> Manage Tokens. I found this token management to be essential to ensuring that the webhook had the correct permissions to run successfully. Please advise on what I am missing or doing incorrectly. Note that I am using FME Server 2020.0 (Win64) Thanks

I have sample data where dual carriageway road is present in one layer and in another layer I have point layer, I need to find out of point which falls inside dual carriageway road, as shown in image red circle. If point is outside the dual carriageway road then no issues but it should not be in 2 lines, sample data is attached.If anyone can help with workbench then it would be really nice and time saver for me, thanks in advance 😀 .

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.
