Notification service directives

I am using a C# REST service call to start a workspace. Passing the notification directives in the body. The notification subscription is setup with the PUSH service call. Basically, the subscription makes a service call when the workspace is failed or successful. When I published the workspace, with JobSubmitter, I made sure the right writer output is selected to be included in the service call, but the writer output will be included only if I run that workspace from WebUI, not with the service call. Is there a directive\\parameter that I can use in the initial service call to tell the notification to include the writer content in the notification body? Any thoughts?

Scheduling tasks with AD authentication

Hi We have a problem running scheduled tasks when we activate AD-authentication on our FME Server 2015. We get the following message in the log: MEServerJobSubmitter(ServerJobSubmissionFactory): Could not initialize connection to server "localhost". FME Server error: `Authentication failed: Failed to bind to Active Directory with the given username and password.' Anyone got this to work ? Kind regards Guha, Stockholm Water

Get FME Server Job timestamp, when queued and convert to UTC

Hello! I'm using HTTPCaller and FME Server's REST API to get a job timestamp (timeQueued), when it was sent to a queue. It's working well, but the timestamp should be converted to UTC. Currently local time in Finland is +3h from UTC, and due to the daylight saving, it goes to +2h in the fall. The job should be run automatically, so that I wouldn't need to put a offset parameter to the local time, which comes from REST API. Easiest solution would be that the timeQueued would come in UTC. Is it possible to configure that in FME Server?

sending emails error

Hi all, We have been trying to send notification via email (directly or through a subscription) and although we have tested connectivity with telnet to gmail (via telnet smtp.gmail.com 465) and it works ok, when we submit a job with email subscription to a gmail account, we review the log and see the following error: "javax.mail.MessagingException:Exception reading response"; java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out" Has any body had the same problem? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance.

Best way to send specific failure emails.

I have a series of workspaces that are part of a web application and are called asynchronously via the REST services with an opt_requesteremail provided. In the workspaces I create specific messages using attribute information and format them with a variant of the FMEServerEmailGenerator. I then have a text writer registered with the data to post on a success topic. Note that if used the FMEServerNotifer instead of writing out the text file, and have no success topic published, then I end up with two emails, one custom email from the FMEServerNotifier, and the generic JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS. However, when it comes to failures, I run into a problem. In most cases I am forcing the failure via a terminator. I can generate the emails and use the notifier prior to a terminator. But then I end up with two emails, custom and generic JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE. I can try to write out the failure message to the text writer and post to a a failure topic, with a branch to a terminator

Using Directory Watch in FME Server, not triggering workspace

I have a workspace that watches a specific folder for files to be added to it. The workspace then converts the xml file to an ascii file and moves it to a different folder. When I drop the file into the watched folder, it seems like the file isn't getting processed as the file doesn't get moved and the new file doesn't get created.

Scheduling Job on FME Server 2016

I created a workspace and tested it in FME Desktop. Then published it to FME Server and tested it again. Created a schedule to run the job this morning (and every day) at 07.00 (it is now 08.10). Next I edited the workspace, tested and republished it (no changes to parameters). Checked the schedule and it was still valid and enabled. But no jobs where executed at the scheduled time (no passes and no failures). My machine was locked and running (no shutdown). Any suggestions why my job has not run?

Email notification when job fails

I'm new to notifications in FME server and I'm trying to create a service that notifies our helpdesk each time a Data Download job fails on our fme server. I've set up a subscription with the appropriate email settings and subscribed to the DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE topic. I then start topic monitoring on the DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE topic and when I test the topic, the email is received exactly as expected. The problem I have is that topic monitoring stops as soon as I navigate from the manage notifications page or if I refresh the page. Is this supposed to happen? I was assuming that once started, topic monitoring would continue until explicitly told to stop. Thanks in advance for you help (Using FME server 2015.1.1)

Notifications on FME Server

I was just curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on an issue that has now popped up after switching everything to smtp.(company name).com yesterday under Manage --> Notifications --> Subscriptions. We get daily updates from jobs that run overnight, and we were still getting them from smtp.(company name).local. But since changing all of the values yesterday to smtp.(company name).com, we got no messages or updates from FME Server last night. Can anyone shed light on why this might be happening? Can you look at the attachment containing the before and the after settings (SMTP Server is all that was changed) and let me know if we need to change anything else about them to allow the messages from FME Server to come through? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Tony

FME Server 2013: Workbench name in e-mail notification

Hello Before we got the FME server we used a Pyhton script in our FME workbenches to send email notifications to our customers. We sent information like: workbench name, input parameters, error logs, … FME Server has the built in email Notification. By modifying the Email template I was able to send the Job ID, number of written features, time started & time finished, … but wasn't able to send the workbench name. This would be the most important information. Is there a possibility to send the workbench name with the email notification tool? Thanks for any advice. felix

How can the Email Notification Service get access to the logged-on user?

I have mapped with the FME Server 2014 SP4 (build 14430 WIN32) a workflow in which registered users can start a job submitter service that calls after completing a topic, which sends an email notification to the project administrator. In this email should be included 3 important informations: 1. Job ID: {id} 2. Username of the user who ran the process (The users are created directly in the FME - no AD) 3. If possible, the selected value of a published parameter "government_district", which is necessary for the execution of the process Do you know a possible way? • i want to use the name of the logged-on user in my email-template of the email subscription, who executed the JobSubmitter service. Is there a parameter to which I have access in the template (similar to job-id {id})? In the documentary unfortunately i can not find anything. • i like to use the value of the published parameter in my email-template of the email subscription?

Using Directory Watch in FME Server, not triggering workspace with each new file.

I have a workspace that watches a specific folder for csv files to be added to it. The workspace then converts the csv file to a shapefile. If i copy just one csv file into the folder it works perfectly. If i copy more than one csv file then server kicks off an instance of the workspace for each csv file added but it reads in the first csv file in the folder to every instance ignoring the rest of the csv files in the folder. Also if the folder already has a csv file in the folder and a second is added, server will kick of the workspace and run it using the csv file that was originally in the folder and not the new one. any ideas what i may be doing wrong? @aaronkoning
