Automation

I'm trying to email a whole department. The emailer works fine with single email addresses and multiple addresses but i can't send an email out to a distribution group. It says it has sent successfully but the email never comes. Any ideas?

Hello, what is the best way to set scheduler to run on last day of each month? Cron would be good here but what if we would like to run this job on last day of the month but every X monts for example every 3 months? In Cron there is a limitation that once we get to the next year it will break. If I would not use CRON but standard interval how FME would behave if I would set it to run on January 31st with interval set to 1 month? When it would be executed next time?

I'm trying to figure out how to use the directory watch on various user folders. The idea is when they update datasets it kicks off a job updating automatically.

I'm currently watching Folder1 and processing the data that is put there in dated folders. Folder1 20181110 20181111 20181112 etc Each dated folder contains 3 subfolders (A,B,C) each containing a lot of shapefiles. The current system works fine as all the data is written at the time the dated folder is created. However this is soon to change and A, B and C could be written separately. I only want to process the data when A, B and C are all present. I've tried editing the Publication to include subdirectories but this notifies on every shapefile, I've also tried just using Modify instead of Create but Modify doesn't seem to work on Folders, only files. The only workaround I can think of is to have all the contents of A, B and C zipped before hand and thus limiting the number of notifications. But this isn't very elegant. Am I missing something? Many thanks!

I require a workflow to notify a customer that a data delivery is ready for download from an S3 bucket. The current process involves several workspaces on an FME Cloud Server pulling media files from an S3 bucket along with generating an FGDB and CSV feature records, all of this output which are staged in a directory on a specific FME SERVER SHARED TEMP/directory to be zipped up together as one zip file and pushed to a destination, in this particular case the zip file is pushed to an S3 bucket made available through the NextCloud application. As a current temporary solution, I am using a workspace the Directory and File Pathnames Reader to read the zip file and using the filecopy writer to zip up the files and move/copy to a directory in the TEMP shared. This destination directory is configured as a Directory Watch service to watch for CREATE and then an S3 subscription service pushes the zip file to an S3 bucket. I would like to use the directory watch service on the S3 bucket as the

I'm hoping to use the Emailer transformer with FME Desktop to send an email with attachments using Microsoft Exchange via Outlook Web Access. Should this be possible using this transformer? Or maybe using some other method?

Hi, It must be stunningly simple however we miss the clue, but we're trying to get FME Server to accept Single Sign-On logins. We connected to Active Directory, that seems to work nice since we can use a user and password from the domain and log in, that's a success.

Hi, I have FME Server 2018.1.1.1 - Build 18578 - win64 running on an Amazon EC2 instance and I want to use my company's Amazon SES service to send emails. When using the Emailer transformer, I can send emails without any problems. But using the exact same details (host, username, password, port, etc.) when I try to setup email notification, I just get error messages saying "SSL error occurred. Ensure connection security and port are correct " when trying the "SSL/TLS" option, and "Unable to connect to the email server. Ensure account and password is correct" when trying the "StartTLS" option. The only difference between the Emailer transformer and the notification setup screen, is that I have to explicitly set encryption to TLS for the Emailer to work. But for the notification setup screen, I can only choose between "SSL/TLS" and "StartTLS" -- not just TLS. Are there any log files I could read to find more detailed or specific errors on what went wrong when attempting to setup my notif

Is it possible - if my translation fail, user will get an email with fail message, if translation is successful, in that case user will get an email also with successful translation message.

Our company has FME Server installed for internal use only, so I have it set up to poll an Office365 e-mail inbox for new e-mails. The imap_publisher_content list only has one index of text/html, and the text in the body of the e-mail comes in with encoding issues. Example: Met with inspector and surveyed the two 2� electric conduit lines. I’ll upload the photos to SharePoint. I have attached the incoming JSON. I am having issues in trying to get the text encoded correctly and not sure how to proceed. This is also related to a recent post I made that I am still unable to fix or find out how to receive the imap_publisher_content list in plain/text through our online company Office365 exchange account. https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/82234/fme-server-polling-imap.html

Dear forum, I hope everyone is doing great. I am getting trouble in my FME server datadownload process from yesterday midnight at (00:00:00). Yesterday all the job was processed timely and users have downloaded data but from the mid night all the jobs is Queued or "Running" in status. I have checked that our license is till may 2019 , so this is not the case of licensing error. I have collected one information from one of our job that : statusMessageUndefined macro `FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR' dereferenced in file `xxxx\\dbexport\\dbexport.fmw' If this might be the case then why it was running before perfectly? We did not change any configuration. Thanks With kind regards Muqit Zoarder

I have a network of railway switches and I need to assign the value of a switch line being left or right automatically. What do I have: A feature class containing a track that looks like this I need to generate something that looks like the following. The red arrow is always the direction you look at the intersection and that helps you determine if the lines branching out are left or right.

Can we access the published parameters in mail body when success topic raised for the topic is success or failure?

I set up a directory watch in FME server to watch changed shape files in a directory. Since each shape file has 7 components, updating one shape file will trigger 7 notifications, causing the subscribing workspace to run 7 times. I would hope the directory watch publication has an option to watch only ".shp" files so that each shape file change only triggers one notification. Any work around about this?

Hi all. I am trying to read a directory with many TIFF files, select the latest ones and copy or move them to a new directory. I read the files with a Feature reader using the Directory and File Pathnames format. The files got the date-time in the name so I use the Sorter to find the latest one and then I use the Sampler to select a few of them. Can someone advise me how to write them now in another directory? Many thanks

I have a desktop workbench that is using FMEServerNotifier to have server send emails as the last translation step. Aside from writing a shutdown script to POST the request to server, is there a way I can call FMEServerNotifier on translation failure? Maybe a Shutdown Notifier option is on the cards?? nb. I'm using desktop as I need the 32 bit version nnb. I can't get the desktop authorised to use the smtp server

I can receive emails at FME Server and trigger a specific workspace if I attach only one of each file type (DWG and PDF) in the same order (DWG before PDF) so that I can specify the published parameter for my SourceDataset_ACAD (which requires a single value) to be the email_publisher_attachment{0} and the published parameter for my SourceDataset_PATH to email_publisher_attachment{1}. However, I would like to be able to receive an email with any number of attachments, in any order, and filter and apply them correctly to their respective published parameters (potentially more than one DWG, but I would not know how many in advance and/or what order they were received to apply the correct list values). Any ideas or examples of similar implementations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Dear everyone, I am running some data download activities using FME server 2017. Everything is going well. I have set DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS email notification thus an user get to know about the successfull data downloading information. I want to restrict one user to get this email notification but I cannot find any parameter in this Subscription Topic. If anyone have any idea please let me know. Thanks With kind regards Muqit

I want to execute a workspace in FME Server by an email that is Bcc'd to FME Server. However, I am worried that a Reply All from both internally or externally may trigger the workspace to be executed again. Any thoughts or suggestions on best practices to prevent this from occurring? Thank you in advance.

I have two workspaces, one that does an extract and processing of data, and a second that does a final publication. I want to set up the FME server so that the extraction workspace is run at a scheduled time (2 am) and the publication workspace runs if and only if the first workspace succeeds. How do I set up notifications? I have created two topics JOB_FAILURE and JOB_SUCCESS

I'm attempting to send an email at the end of a translation to notify the respective folks that the process has run. I'm getting an error: Emailer: <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. I've gotten the ip address and the port number with no encryption from the server guys. The machine that I am using for the script has been whitelisted with our SMTP server as well. This is to be used on a few different scripts, so really need to get this working. I have filled in the to, from, subject, and body of the 'email'. Using Generic SMTP as well. Granted, I am sending to myself, but will be in the long run anyway. Thanks.

Hello I need some help in configuring the directory, where my datadownload-service sends its zip-files to... can this be done on the workbench-level? Thanks!

I have set up a directory watch with fme-server ( something like https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/51817/directory-watch-publisher-tutorial-2017.html) Some data can not be processed by fme-server so I set up a time to cancel of 30 minutes. After this time the main workspace (convert.fmw) gets canceled but the subworkspace which normally gets calles by concert.fmw through a FMEServerJobSubmitter does not get canceled so these jobs fill up the job queue as "zombie"-jobs. Is there a way I can get rid of these zombie-jobs in the queue?
