Directory-Watch not working in FME-Server 2017

I followed this directory-watch-tutorial:https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/31475/tutorial-fme-server-watch-publisher-2016.htmlIn 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?

Failed to bind to Active Directory

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?

Priority tag for jobs invoked via notification service

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.

Do I have to configure anything in order to receive emails on FME Cloud?

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-mailBecause the file system is not available on FME Cloud, is this necessary?

Stop create notification spam

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 fileI seem to be getting some unexpected results, has anyone else had success dealing with similar issues?

Directory Watch strange behavior

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 supportRoberto

Emailer sending separate mail to BCC ?

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

How to get job failure email if workspace fired from subscription fails

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)

Best way to insert content of a list into an email ?

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

Directory Watch Reader

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a workspace that should fire every time a file is added to a folder. I came across the reader format "Directory Watch Reader", but so for I have been unable to find any documentation about how to use this reader type. If this is covered in the documentation anywhere, or in an article here at knowledge.safe.com, I'd be grateful for a link.

Detecting where lines are not snapped to nodes (DWG)

I have .dwg file with large number of lines which are snapped to points, so they form closed polygons. I would like to create closed polyline from snapped lines so i can calculate area of polygon, and the main criteria is that lines are snapped to node of point, which is not always the case (lines are often snapped to endpoint, nearest point, or not even closed). My question is: how can i detect where lines are not snapped to nodes of points, so i can manually snap them? Thank you for answers.

How to enable Email Results option of Data Download service

Hi, I've signed up the FME Cloud Beta, and started to learn how to use it. As my first trial, I uploaded a workspace which transforms XML dataset into raster and writes the result into Geotiff file. Service type is Data Download. The workspace worked fine, and I was able to download zipped result file from the web page which was displayed after the completion, if I didn't check "Email Result" (Advanced Option) on the Configure page. However, when I checked "Email Results" and specified my mail address, I was not able to receive the e-mail even though the job has been completed successfully. I checked if the mail address was correct, and tried several times. But no mail has come ... Do I need some server settings to enable the "Email Results" option? Thanks in advance. Takashi

Email --- All records from ArcSDE Layer inside the body of one single email

I've read through the documentation on email and can't find anything about this. When I pass a layer (ArcGIS) through the FMEServerEmailGenerator and the FMEServerNotifier I get an email for every record in the layer. If there's 68 records I get 68 emails. I understand how to get one email sent to me with statistics from the layer. That's not the issue. But what I want to do is basically have FME send one email that has the table of all 68 records (Along with the column headers if possible ... Here's an example: ) in the body of the email. Almost as if you opened an excel file and selected a range of cells, copied them, and pasted them into an email ... If that makes sense?

Subscribe workspace to multiple notifications 'AND'-style

We are designing a conversion-job spanning multiple workspaces. We can run one after the other using notifications by subscribing the next workspace to the succes topic of the previous.We could design this much more beautiful if we could e.g. start workspace 'E' and 'F' when 'B' and 'C' are ready. But when 'E' has a subscription to the succes-topics of 'B' and 'C' this is evaluated as an 'OR'. 'E' runs when 'B' or 'C' is ready.It would be nice to evaluate the notifications a workspace is subscribed to with an 'AND' clause. You should do 'this', when you have 'this' and 'that'. Is there a possibility to do this using FME only? Ofcourse we could make our own 'notification service' using some database and python or C#, but as far as I can see, the only thing I am missing in FME-server is an 'AND' clause in the notification subscription.With such possibili

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?
