Automation

With the "IMDFToArcGISIndoors.fmwt", I was not to able to find the source IMDF dataset "NoError.zip". Is there a place where I can download this data?

Within an automation I want to trigger a workspace with a previous result. In this case, as shown in the picture, I only want to process a submitted file if the validation is valid. Most desirable is that I can set a certain parameter within the createValidationStatus workspace and be able to filter on that in the automation filter.Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to do it this way. I did find a work around by adding a terminator to the workspace when a submission isn't valid. This wil result in an "action failed". But still this isn't desirable because submitter and administrator messages got mixed up. Failure doesn't necessarily mean workspace failure. Question: What is the best way to pass results from an u

Hi,I'm trying to send an email (to myself) after a succesful translation. I implemented the steps mentioned in the link (with the featurewriter, sampler etc) by @aaronkoning :https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/4963/sending-mail-in-fme-desktop.htmlHowever, eventhough the translation itself is succesful, the email apparently gets rejected (see image), and in the inspector 17, I see the following error:Fme_rejection_code: ERROR_DURING_PROCESSING (don't mind the lack of output from the featurewriter, I was playing around with it just before screenshotting. It generates input just fine). What am I doing wrong? I'm using FME Desktop version 2018.1.0.1.

I have a number of workbench that do some things. Each workbench made specific work and each workbench is independent. When I published my workspaces I set notifications on my topic in the jobsubmitter service.If I run each workspaces alone on the server, notifications are fired and all is ok.Now, I have created a workspace that call my workspaces with FMEServerJobSubmitter. It's like an "Automation" but made with a workbench (we use fme version 2018). I published my workbench that run my workspaces and I've scheduled it to run in the night. I expect that each single workspace fire my notifications when is executed but this didn't happen.I read in documentation that I have to register notifications for the scheduled task. I've set the notifications in the scheduled task but only the notification of the scheduled task is fired. Other notifications of the single workspaces executed by the main workspace aren't fired.How can I

Hi all,Is there a way to export an automation, i.e. port it -in my case- from a Development Server setup to a UAT setup? Thanks, Klaas

Hello Partners,We have new articles utilizing the new automations functionality in FME Server. There is still more content that is being created. Additionally, automations will be included in the FME Server Authoring 2019 training course, which will be happening June 3rd. Stay tuned!Run a Workspace in Response to Incoming EmailRun a Workspace When Data Arrives in a DirectoryJob Orchestration with Automations

Hello all.I require some guidance and clarification.I need to develop an application that would automatically translate input data to another output format, e.g., test.dgn into test.shpI have installed FMEServer and uploaded my workspace which does the work.I have managed to upload an input file from my pc to my uploaded workspace in the FMEServer by using your javascript demo application.However, my issue is that in reality my input files will be located in the Microsoft Azure Storage, and the workspace in FMEServer should be automatically triggered to run the process when it gets a call from my application with input link or when it sees that a new file where uploaded in Azure storage.I have tested my workspace by manualy pasting in the file shared access link (URL link) from Azure blob container as an input value, and the workspace ran successfully.I have read a bunch of articles about directories watch, and HTTPCaller, and as I am

Hi, I am working in a production environment with FME Desktop and server of 2016 build 16717. And I have a problem receiving the Topic message on the production server. If I use a parameterFetcher I try to dereference the FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE, I get an error: undefined macro "FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE" dereferenced in file. When I do the same on my test machine everything works. I if I log every parameter on the Server I see no FME_TOPIC* parameters in my log. I have created a directory watch pubisher which publishes topic to this "example_topic", and a subscription workspace to run when this topic is triggered. When I test the topic either by placing a file on the watched directory, or "TOPICS/test topic" the workspace fires, but it does not receive a FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE. Anyone who knows what I'm doing wrong?

I have notifications set up. When a user gets a notification email it has a url link to view/download the job log. The user is presented with a login screen. They login, but the download results for the log are empty. What permissions are needed to actually download the log file?

Thanks everyone in advance about helping me sort this out.   I have a topic set up on FME server and have an outside system posting a simple JSON to it. I then have a subscription that is subscribed to that topic with a workspace associated to it. I can see that it is receiving the JSON in: Resources>System>Temp>SubscriptionsWhen I published this workspace to the server, I subscribed it to the topic and set: Parameter to Get Topic Message: "Source JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) File or URL. I used the JSON downloaded from the temp folder to create the workspace.   At this point I can see the job starting each time the JSON is posted to the topic, but it is not getting the data to the writer.   Am I missing a parameter that needs to push the JSON from the topic to the reader correctly?   

Howdy,In FME Server I have a Notification Subscription that send an email on job failure, I am wondering if there is a simple way to have the emial include the following:Insert text with the name of the schedule that initiated the jobAttach the translation log to the email notification or even better would be to just insert the text of any error messages.From searching the resources I found good info on the Email Subscriber and email keywords but nothing specifically addressing my questions.I did find a solution attaching a log file with a datadownload job but no info related to subscription email.Thank you for the assistance!Currently my email message template looks like this:

Hi FME's World! I'm trying to read emails from Outlook or GMail with my FME Desktop. I found out that it would be possible in Python, would you sugegest to use the PythonCaller or PythonCreator?I found some Python code but FME runs indefinitly at "Emptying factory pipeline".  import email, getpass, imaplib, os detach_dir = '.' # directory where to save attachments (default: current) user = raw_input("email") pwd = getpass.getpass("pwd") # connecting to the gmail imap server m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com") m.login(user,pwd) m.select("[Gmail]/All Mail") # here you a can choose a mail box like INBOX instead # use m.list() to get all the mailboxes resp, items = m.search(None, "ALL") # you could filter using the IMAP rules here (check http://www.example-code.com/csharp/imap-search-critera.asp) items = items[0].split()

I have a schedule that runs fine using a wildcard to find the source files. Rather than running the workspace every 10 minutes I would like to set up a directory watch (or similar) to trigger the workspace to run.  When creating the subscription I get this error: Unexpected value "$(a)/ServiceOrders/FME/NotificationDefectsExport*.csv" for parameter "value," expected list The issue appears to be using a wildcard in the source file of a subscription.I have tried with both UNC source path and by setting up a resource in FME Server. Permissions are not an issue as the workspace runs fine on a schedule.  

Hi,I have a workspace that performs a few tasks and then sends myself an email reporting the results. One email goes to my internal (corporate) email and it's cc'd to an external one (garbage yahoo account) I use for testing.I recently added another stream to the workspace and also want an email report for that one. However, I can't get it to send the external message. The second Emailer is duplicated from the original with only a change to the body text. Emailer 1 still sends both. Emailer 2 sends the internal version but not the external. How can it work in one case and not the other from the same workspace?Thanks Notes: I have also tried using a non duplicated Emailer and swapping the To: with the CC.

Hi there!When I update a Destination File Copy Folder from a Workbench and I publish it to FME Server, the changes aren't made into the Notifications/Subscriptions. (green arrow)Is it normal? Is it just me? In any case, it's anoying, I've got to do it manually.I have FME Server 2017.1Thanks

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.Folder1201811102018111120181112etcEach 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 bucke

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,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

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.

Hello,Can someone please help me to understand the topology builder attributes : right_edge and left_adge with some concrete examples and illustrations ? I've tried to understand and apply just from the description in the transformer docomentation but couldn'tThank you very much in advance

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 2â€? 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
