Hello FME Community:When I create a new 'Author' role level user and grant it ability to access the Schedules page, the user is actually able to see the schedules created by all other users including Admin, from repositories that it should not have access to. When I click into one such scheduled task, some fields will be blank (due to no access), and the scheduled task details look 'incomplete'. It appears to be able to click on "Ok" and I'm not sure if that means it'll try to save the Schedule.I think it'd make more sense if a non-Admin user does not see schedules that it does not own, or at least have the ability to differentiate them and definitely not have the ability to click into them by accident. Or, if this is something that can be resolved by better configuration of the roles, please advise. I have been unable to find this in the Security tab.Thanks! Ray

Hi Folks, I have tried - without success to use Notification in FME Server (version 2015.1.3, customer's one) I have used IMAP protocol, following Safe documentation :) as follows : I begin with creation of a topic (see attached image1)Testing it, it’s ok. Then creating a publication named “IMAP Email” with these parameters : (see attached images 2 and 3)Then I monitor the topic, send an email to the address , but nothing is detected …I activate on my gmail account the IMAP protocol too …Control that the port 7078 is open …. I have (of course) the same problem with subscription (in fact, my emails are never detected by FME Server) I need to show this part of the configuration on the next training in the 19 and 20/9, so don’t know what to do . do you have any idea about it ? regards P

I have the following situation, using FME Server 2017:I created an Email publication (IMAP) to check for new emails.Based on the subject line I want to trigger a Topic, triggering a subscription to run a workspace.How can I trigger different topics for different Subject lines in the Email?I tried replicating the publication, but FME does not allow multiple publications to the same email account (with different Subject line filters).Anybody any ideas or experience with this?Any help is appreciated.Erik

Hello, I have a script that is creating an email notification via FMEServerEmailGeneration. I am feeding that to a topic through the FmeServerNotifier. Works perfectly fine. I have monitored the topic and the notification comes up. I set up an email Subscription using the following information: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1455/configure-fme-server-services-to-use-gmail-1.html I keep getting this error when I try to save the subscription. I have checked if firewall was blocking port 465. No problem thereFunny thing is. This worked once. I was able to save the subscription. I tested it out by running the first workspace and an email was sent correctly. I opened the subscription up and made a change t

HI all, I want to add a processing bar on my application for time-consuming services so users know the process is still running. I am using FMEServer.runDataDownload(this._repository, this._workspaceNames[2], params, this._displayResult)); How to implement this?

Hi,I am new to FME Server and have been experimenting with creating email notifications when a job succeeds or fails. I have done this in two ways for the one workspace:1. Using the FMEServerEmailGenerator within the workspace:2. Applying Notification Settings while setting a scheduled time for the workspace to run in FME Server:When I run the workspace unscheduled and it fails, the failure email that is sent seems to change - sometimes it is the one that I set up using Method 1, and sometimes the one that I created in when subscribing to notifications in Method 2. Can someone please explain the difference between the two methods, and when one method takes priority over another method?Thanks,

Good morning, in FME Server by default there are notifications for JOB_FAILURE and JOB_SUCCESS and I wonder if is possible to create a notification for JOB_SUBMITTER. Let me explain, I am developing an application for downloading data, I need to inform the user by email when his request was taken over by the system.Thanks.Paolo

Hello!I have a question about the usage of Notifications for FME Server 2016. I created a Notification with a Publication and a Subscription. The Publication is working and collects the attachments of e-mails in a dedicated folder. From there a Workspace should be triggered to start reading the folder paths, making use of de FileDirectory Reader and process the files that are read. For the triggering of the Workspace a Subscription is created and for some reason, it does not work or does not work all the time. In some cases the restarting of FME Server can help but this is obviously not a solution.The Workspace that is triggered does not have a JSON-reader. In Tutorials I saw a JSON-reader was part of the solution to trigger a Workspace. In the example parameters of the e-mail were read and would be handy to read for example e-mail parameters. Since these parameters are not needed, as all the information comes from the files read using the

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 allI'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 a

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
