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.

HelloI 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 likehttps://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?

I have a job I have created in FME Desktop 2017.1 which processes a file, and I use a filecopy transformation to move the file to an archive folder once it has been processed.The job uses two parameters, one for the working folder and one for the archive folder. I have published the job to an FME Server (version 2017). When I run the job manually from the Server from the "Run Workspace" page the job runs correctly. However, when I schedule the job to run automatically it fails at the filecopy transformation, it is treating the file differently. This is a screenshot of the FME job, showing the two published parameters, and how the filecopy transformation has been configured. The job starts with a Path transformation which is populated from the [INPUT_FILE] parameter.Below is a screenshot of the job running as scheduled, the errors

Hello,In FME Desktop I request with a REST API my FME Server schedule and I have CRON expressions for some workspaces.I want to create a calendar with the results, so I would like to have date values for the workspaces scheduled with CRON expressions.How could I interpret easily those expressions into FME Desktop?Thanks!

Hi all,I encounter an issue with topic on FME Server:I have one workspace (the controller) that triggers another (the worker) via a jobsubmitter.The worker posts on the topic "reporter_database" in case of success. It sends some json code.Case 1: When I run the worker via the controller, the topic is not "activated".Case 2: If I launch the worker directly via the web browser interface, it runs correctly and activates the topic.I remarked there was a difference between the two approaches (see picture). On the rigth (case2), there are some FME Directives and Notification Manager Directives while there is nothing on case1...Does someone have an idea how I can solve the case 1?Thank you !Laurent

Hi,Each time I try to use the Emailer transformer in a workbench, I get this error message :2018-02-12 15:28:28| 0.5| 0.1|WARN |Python Exception <UnicodeDecodeError>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)2018-02-12 15:28:28| 0.5| 0.0|WARN |Traceback (most recent call last): File "Emailer.py", line 126, in inputUnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)2018-02-12 15:28:28| 0.5| 0.0|ERROR |Error encountered while calling method `input'2018-02-12 15:28:28| 0.5| 0.0|FATAL |f_6(PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature2018-02-12 15:28:28| 0.5| 0.0|ERROR |A fatal error has occurred.

Dear everyone, In my fme workflow I have some published parameters and one of them is email (opt_requesteremail) . For data download option I used this email parameter to get the data download link in email address. Till yet I am putting email address by my own. But I want to get email address automatically from user login. We are using LDAP. Thanks RegardsMuqit Zoarder

HiI am using an incoming email with attachment to trigger a workbench. An email with a 46mb attachment was rejected - can anyone advise on the maximum allowable file size for incoming email attachments? I can't find this in the documentation.Can this limit be configured to allow for larger files? Thanks.

HiI have a workspace on FME Server (Cloud) which currently uses the data download service. It requires the user to upload a .csv and a .pdf, then it runs a translation and delivers a .kmz and a folder of geoTIFFs. I'd like to run this workspace using a call to the REST API. I'm struggling to figure out how 2 files can be uploaded as part of the same SUBMIT call. Assuming I can do this, will the call still trigger a data download? Or will I need to write to a shared resource folder? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hi All,Our company has a strategic tool in PRTG from where we have unified monitoring for all things such as servers, jobs etc. Does anybody have experience or know of integrating FME with PRTG such that scheduled jobs can be monitored in a single location? The main aim is to enable quicker identification of failed jobs.Thanks in advance

I configured FME Server 2018 with Active Directory authentication and Single Sign-ON. I can login with my AD user and run workspaces, but I can't generate a token through the token service with my AD user. How do I generate a token for an AD user with the Token Service?I don't want to generate the token through Manage Token after logging into the webinterface, because I want to generate a token for a Web application.

When we first ran across the push subscriber it seems this could really help out across many different types of workflows and also an agnostic interface with many of our major business systems. Many rest based API's contain keys within the URI so in our case we would like a dynamic target URL based on content with the topic. Is it possible to pull elements out of the topic and represent them as variables in the configuration of the push subscription?I have looked around and cannot find any documentation on how to use variables from the topic within the rest target URL?Below is a simple example:topic = { "activity": "180340", "attachment": "\\\\\\\\server\\\\share\\\\180340.pdf","emailReceived": "Fri May 25 13:37:12 PDT 2018"}In the target url we would like to use the activity number & attachment. These will change with each notification, therefore we need a way to build dynamic target url

A team mate published a workbench to server. I need to make a change to it, but when I went to download the fmw from server, it downloads a json file instead. I can log into the hosting server and copy the file from the repository, but can't figure out how to get the workbench to download from the server web page.

Hi there,I want to trigger a workspace with the function FMEServer.submitJob, but get the a 422-error:with the response:What's wrong with the path? Do I have to escape those slashes?Cheers, Maria

I have a repository inside of FME Server for a handful of users to access and run a couple of workbenches as needed. Is there a way to require them to input an email address prior to running the workbench so that they'll be notified of results when the workbench completes?  I can include an emailer transformer inside of the workbench and make their email address a required input, but I would prefer to utilize the FME Server notifications is possible

What happens when FME Server or the Service is offline for 4 hours. I assume the Directory Watcher on FME Server will be missing all file changes that happened in those 4 hours?

Good morning, When creating the publication, I select the smtp protocol and type in my email username. Then validate. for some reason, this is not working on my server. It confirmed the DNS. Any thoughts? It keeps telling me that it cant find the publisher. @LauraAtSafe , @RyanAtSafe.

Hi,I'm fairly new to FME so please bear with me.I have setup a workbench that that creates a simple HTML report (few stats from a MapInfo Tab) for a colleague. I am using "@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%B %d %Y" as my fanout parameter to name the html file by the date it was created each time the work bench is run. My emailer is setup with the body text as "Click <a href="$(DestDataset_HTML)">here</a>". Before I added the fanout option to name each output my hyperlink would link directly to the output file but since adding this it just links to the output folder. Can anyone tell me why that is and how I might be able to get around it?Cheers!Phil

Hi friends~,I have an Emailer transformer to send email as part of the processing.The parameter setup is as followss;- Email Service: Generic SMTP- Encryption: NoneNow it gives warning message as follows;Emailer: <class 'smtplib.SMTPDataError'>: (554, '5.5.2 No valid recipients').My understanding is that the relay server of the SMTP is in place.Any experience or suggestion would be appreciated.Thanks ~David

Hi Folks,I am trying to connect with emailer with a very simple workbench basically, to test the emailer for now. I have filled in all the attributes and move ahead to Gmail Connection. When I allow access FME to read, write emails, it pops-up with a window "Web Service Connection" and asks to copy the code and switch the application and paste it there. I can't understand what exactly is 'switching the application' and what is the next step. I have shared the attachment.

I have a workspace that runs on FME server and watches a directory to process the incoming files.So far this works fine.With the help of FMEServerLogfileRetrievers I collect the log output of the conversion jobs, condense them and now have to send them via email. I have tested this with a (clarification: a different) workspace that runs as a job submitter, but it (clarification: the email sending through the workspace running as a notfication service) seems not to run as a notification service.While when uploading it as Job Submitter, I can select email [TEXTLINE] as Post Data,this is not possible with the Notifier:

The mail address I want to send mails to is in de format [name]@[subdomain].[domain].com. The emailer shows the following error. Is this a known bug? Emailer: <class 'smtplib.SMTPDataError'>: (503, '5.5.2 Need rcpt command') Thanks in advance
