Automation

Does anyone have a routine or know how to build a routine to access a webpage, make a selection from a dropdown menu, and then select save at a pop up window? I'm sure this can be done in Python, but I do not have the background.

I need to detect if there is a mismatch in the number of polylines that adjoin each other. For example one polyline in the middle, four either side (or it could be any number of mismatches: 3-2-3 for example. Polylines aren't snapped together; it's for a powerline project so it's not a requirement. I can group the lines together and assign them grouped id's together using the attached process. One final point; I only need to calculate the relationship of polylines that have 'neighbours' on either side and not on polylines with only one set of 'neighbours' (see below)

Hi all I've had a read of related topics and still need some clarification. What I'd like to do is kick off a jobsubmitter service via http POST and use the file uploaded (csv or shape file) via the POST as the source data for the reader in the service. I'm testing using Postman and this is what I'm trying to post: This article states that you can't use form-data in the body, only raw data. Does this mean the method I'm using won't work or has someone managed to get it to work? If this is possible, how do you set the FME Cloud location the file upload will be uploaded to? If this method is not possible, I was thinking of using the upload service to upload the file then run the workspace when the upload arrives in the destination folder in FME Cloud (kick off process via notifications). Any other suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks Rob

Documentation for SECURITY_LOGIN_TYPE in FME Server 2016 says: "Identifies the authentication (login) method to use: database, activedirectory, or custom" What does "custom" mean? We would like to user Active Directory AND database authentication if possible. This would allow us to create users with passwords that don't expire, unlike with Active Directory account. Thanks

Hello all, I am getting an error message stating that the email sent via the Emailer transformer does not contain a header (From).

Hello, we are observing a strange behaviour with an FME server (v2015) in production. The publisher watches a main folder with subfolder flag set to yes only for new files. Several subfolder (more or less 20) under the main one. Sometime the watcher stop working without notices. If we reset FME services it start working again for few hours then it stop again. We only upload zip files in the folders. Unfortunately for a month or so we can't upgrade to the new version. Suggestions on how to solve this issue? Too many subfolders? Other suggestions or best practices to follow? TIA Roberto

I have set up an email notification to fire me an email when the workspace has successfuly run. I am curious as to how I get the name of the workbench that has run to be my subject line? Do I need to creat a seperate email notification for everyworkspace I want published? NOTE: I do not want to use python.

I followed this directory-watch-tutorial: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/31475/tutorial-fme-server-watch-publisher-2016.html In my recent Version of FME-Server ( FME Server 2017.0.0.2 - Build 17280 - linux-x64 ) the directory watch does not work. This is the error message: I think the problem is that in the tutorial there is a step where the setting "Send Notification Data to Reader" is set to "somefile[TEXTLINE]": But in the recent version of FME you cant set this option: Any idea how this problem could be solved?

Good day! The result of my WB is PDF map which should be sent as attached file. But I met the problem. File has been damaged. The size of file is less than original. It looks like FME-server had no time to attach the full file. Have you any ideas about fixing this problem?

austinDownload.fmw sample is producing a data download url, a zip in the engineresults directory and writing features mine is writing features (no log error) but no url or zip in the engineresults directory I'm a newb with FME Desktop and Server and don't know where to start.

Hi everyone. I am new to this transformer "Emailer". Can Anyone give me step by step on how to use this with gmail account. Thanks

I've got a workspace who's job is to create and send emails using FMEServerEmailGenerator and FMEServerNotifier. Can I retrieve any information from Server on failed mail delivery? (some of the email addresses are likely to be invalid)

Dear All , We are using rest services of FME to post jobs , we need to pass a custom message which need to be shown on the subject of the email receive by the user when the job is done , users submit many jobs but not able to relate the job to the task .

I uploaded a workspace to a FME Server using the Datadownload service. I call this service and workspace from a custom webpage. All is working as designed, but I would like to skip the download link that is returned by the service. I would like the Datadownload service to start downloading the file as soon as the file is generated. I can't find the right option for this. My URL looks like: http://localohost:8080/fmeserver/fmedatadownload/myrepository/myworkspace.fmw? Can anybody help?

Hi, I am trying to run a series of transformations using the FME Rest API. Sometimes it works just fine, however, sometimes I get the message "Authentication failed: Failed to bind to Active Directory". (401). I created a token valid for 10 days and used a HTTPCaller to POST to the URL "http://ourserver:8080/fmerest/v2/notifications/topics/LDR_Trigger/message/raw?token=123456&detail;=low". Sometimes it looks like if I login to the FMEServer UI, it remembers the token and the result is as I expect. Has anyone any experience using FME Server REST service on Active Directory?

Is there a mechanism to set the priority of a job in FME Server that is triggered through the notification service via a message to a topic. For example the jobsubmitter service allows the passing of a tm_priority tag as a querystring parameter and I'm wondering if this is also possible via the message content on a topic to trigger jobs invoked via the notification service to run with variable priorities.

The FME Server Administrator's Guide indicates that configuration files must be modified in order to setup FME Server to receive emails: FME Server Admin Guide: Configuring FME Server to Receive E-mail Because the file system is not available on FME Cloud, is this necessary?

Is there a reason why I get multiple notifications on a create topic when only one file is copied into the folder? I have done some testing with a reasonably small file (8mb) and when copied I get a total of 17 notifications published to the topic that has been set up as a directory watch, as you can imagine if multiple files are copied I get some major notification spam. I have noticed that there is a setting for 'Modify' (time to wait after modify) so that if multiple sequential notifications that are sent they can be ignored. Is there something like that for 'Create' that I am not aware of? I am really only looking for 1 notification for 1 file I seem to be getting some unexpected results, has anyone else had success dealing with similar issues?

Hi. I'm working with directory watch and facing some issues. Sometime the trigger fires the workspace properly (once) and sometime it fires it several times (more than ten) in a second. Not clear to me what's happening. The workspace simply runs a sql command and (exiting python procedure) sends an email. Thanks for support Roberto

How would this be done?

Hi all, I've just used the Emailer transformer for the first time. And I've run into a curious issue. I've added a local service mail address as BCC to all emails, but when I review the emails in the service inbox, they all seem to have no TO entry. However, some of the external TO adresses I'm sending to responds with an error, so they've obviously gotten an email. Is that caused by the Emailer sending separate mails to TO and BCC (and CC) ? Is this a bug or WAD ? Cheers Lars I

I have a directory watch publication which notifies a topic which in turn notifies a subscription which runs a workspace. From a user standpoint, the workspace runs when a file is dropped into the directory being watched. I would like FME Server to notify me when the workspace fails in any way, not just under a specific condition(s). I can force the workspace to fail (by dropping the wrong file type in the directory) and can see it failed in the list of jobs. Can I utilize that somehow? Or should I use Notification Message Mapping in the subscription settings? The help for Notification Message Mapping is vague to me; I don't understand the specifics. Anyway, if someone could suggest a solution to email me when the workspace fails I would appreciate it. (FME Server 2016.1.0.1 Build 16494, Win32)

Hi, I'm faced with sending circa 10000 emails to clients from FME. That's one email per user per feature. There are only some 10 mail receivers, the huge number comes from sending them each many notifications. If I want to gather all notifications into a single email per receiver, what is the best/easiest way to achieve that ? I can aggregate the individual notification content into a list per receiver, but where to go from there ? Cheers Lars I

I have a publication that monitors a folder for new files that are created. I also have a working workspace that takes any number of files from a network location and uploads them where I they need to go. When trying to set up a subscription I get the following error I have been able to run the workspace on its own however it fails when initiated by the topic. I can see the SourceDataset_PATH parameter is missing from the log but.Published Parameters Parameter Value SourceDataset_PATH FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM)temp/subscriptions/277a9c3190634de39102c05756666082.json FME_TOPICDatasetWatchstatusMessageParameter 'SourceDataset_PATH' must be given a value. Any ideas?
