Automation

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: FME transformation job {id} failed.Workspace: {workspace}Repository: {repository} Request Keyword: {requestKeyword}Time Requested: {timeRequested}Time Started: {timeStarted}Time Finished: {timeFinished} Click here for more details: http://fme:8080/fmeserver/#/job/{id}/summary Log URL: {logUrl}Log Full Path: {log

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() # getting the mails id for emailid in items:     resp, data = m.fetch(emailid, "(RFC822)") # fetching the mail, "`(RFC822)`" means "get the whole stuff", but you can a

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 bucket as the n

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 more detailed or specifi

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.

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

Dear forum, I hope everyone is doing great. I am getting trouble in my FME server datadownload process from yesterday midnight at (00:00:00). Yesterday all the job was processed timely and users have downloaded data but from the mid night all the jobs is Queued or "Running" in status. I have checked that our license is till may 2019 , so this is not the case of licensing error. I have collected one information from one of our job that : statusMessageUndefined macro `FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR' dereferenced in file `xxxx\\dbexport\\dbexport.fmw'  If this might be the case then why it was running before perfectly? We did not change any configuration. ThanksWith kind regards Muqit Zoarder

I have a network of railway switches and I need to assign the value of a switch line being left or right automatically.What do I have: A feature class containing a track that looks like thisI need to generate something that looks like the following.The red arrow is always the direction you look at the intersection and that helps you determine if the lines branching out are left or right.

Can we access the published parameters in mail body when success topic raised for the topic is success or failure?

I set up a directory watch in FME server to watch changed shape files in a directory. Since each shape file has 7 components, updating one shape file will trigger 7 notifications, causing the subscribing workspace to run 7 times. I would hope the directory watch publication has an option to watch only ".shp" files so that each shape file change only triggers one notification. Any work around about this?

Hi all. I am trying to read a directory with many TIFF files, select the latest ones and copy or move them to a new directory. I read the files with a Feature reader using the Directory and File Pathnames format.The files got the date-time in the name so I use the Sorter to find the latest one and then I use the Sampler to select a few of them. Can someone advise me how to write them now in another directory? Many thanks   

I have a desktop workbench that is using FMEServerNotifier to have server send emails as the last translation step. Aside from writing a shutdown script to POST the request to server, is there a way I can call FMEServerNotifier on translation failure?Maybe a Shutdown Notifier option is on the cards??nb. I'm using desktop as I need the 32 bit versionnnb. I can't get the desktop authorised to use the smtp server

I can receive emails at FME Server and trigger a specific workspace if I attach only one of each file type (DWG and PDF) in the same order (DWG before PDF) so that I can specify the published parameter for my SourceDataset_ACAD (which requires a single value) to be the email_publisher_attachment{0} and the published parameter for my SourceDataset_PATH to email_publisher_attachment{1}.However, I would like to be able to receive an email with any number of attachments, in any order, and filter and apply them correctly to their respective published parameters (potentially more than one DWG, but I would not know how many in advance and/or what order they were received to apply the correct list values). Any ideas or examples of similar implementations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
