I've been googling away here at Knowledge Center for a couple of times on this simple matter. I have a bunch of scripts creating different outputs and I want to find/extract the data download URL so that I can e-mail this URL to the end users. Can anyone point me to where I can read more on this?Yours truly, Peter

Hi,I am trying to send multiple emails (different subjects, recipients, attachments etc) at the end of a process in FME Server. I am writing to a text writer and posting that data to a topic. While I have multiple features writing to the text writer, only one is used and thus only one email is sent. Am I missing something...why doesn't it send multiple emails if it receives multiple features.I realize I can use the workaround of using a featurewriter and then a FME ServerNotifier at the end of the process to get around this, but I am interested in why the initial workflow won't work.Cheers,Todd

I recently started receiving this error after things likely changed on the back end due to company restructuring. Has anyone received this error and been able to explain what might fix it, to the Exchange Admin people?

Hi, I have an issue that's an emergency. We frequently rely on FME Servers email subscription to send out emails. We use that service to notify ourselves if a scheduled script fails to run. We use it to notify clients when certain data is available for them to download. This week, all of a sudden those emails stopped delivering. I ran some tests today. Nothing. We have a script that notifies FME Server. The notification is received successfully. The subscription is also running successfully it seems. I checked the email log that falls under \\resources\\logs\\core\\current\\subscribers\\PVSRVFME_email.logThe log says all the emails have been "successfully sent" I haven't received any of the failure notification, not any other kind of emails. These are my FME Subscriber setting. It has been like this for months and the emails are usually sent finePlease let me know what can be done. Its really necessary to have this service started again for us.Thanks for your time!Reg

Basically we have some fmw files that write data, and then we have a second fmw file that loads the job status info into an oracle table for logging. The first fmw, runs and then calls the DataLoadingStatus topic Then the called mw, which populates an Oracle table with job status info from the first fmw runs, it is registered with the notification service with the “Send Notification Data to Reader” populated We are running with engines distributed across a number of different boxes. The process is working correctly for what it is, it is passing the correct path to the second fmw to find the temp file. e:\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\tomcat\\temp\\603774853810044_gpas_status.txt - That file does exist on the core host. The problem is the Engines are distributed, so when the second fmw runs on a distributed engine and goes to read that file, it is looking for that path on the local box’s E drive and not the Core host box, and that file does not exist on the local box, so it errors

Hello!I'm new with FME Server (very happy user!) and I was wondering if the Directory Watch can do what I want to do.I want to run a FME workbench each time a file is added to my directory. I want to watch the directory each hour. Can I do that?Second thing, I want to do the opposite. I want to abort a scheduled FME workbench when I detect a particular file into a directory. Can I do that?Thanks a lot.

I'm doing a custom HTML email with FMEServerEmailGenerator transformer and I'm trying to include an image as an attachment but it is not rendered in the email. How can I fix this?And the html code: <a href="#" target="blank"> <img style="display: block; outline: none; border: none;" src="img-logo.png" width="110" height="73" alt="Logo Compass" title="Logo Compass" /></a>

Hello,I've created a number of workspaces with various transformers in, and I'm trying to figure out a way to run all workspaces in one go in a sequence. Essentially, once one workspace has run through it's transformers, created the desired output and returned a 'Translation was SUCCESSFUL' result, I'd then like this to kick-start the following workspace.Is this possible? I did consider the alternative, which was to bring all the various workspaces together into a single workspace, but due to the incredibly high volume of 'FeatureMergers' this would impact the performance too much if they all ran concurrently. Unless there is a way to trigger a group of transformers once another group has successfully processed?Any guidance will be (as ever) greatly appreciated.Many thanks

I have a workbench which produces a zipped file, and I want to use the Emailer to send this ZIP in a mail. I've tried the solution of @aaronkoning in this thread:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/4963/sending-mail-in-fme-desktop.htmlBut for some reason the Emailer tries to send when the zip is not created yet. Obviously I want the Emailer to wait until the zip is created. How can I achieve that? 

Hi AllI've built a workbench that generates an Excel file. What the end goal is to have this work bench accessible through a web page and allow the user to download the result as a .xlsx (not a zipped .xlsx).I've tried two ways to get this working:DataDownload This works however the .xlsx is returned in a .zipDataStreamer This method works when running the workbench from FME Server (a download window appears) but when using the JS API you simple get the .xlsx return as a string (like if you tried to open a .xlsx file with notepad). Myself and a colleague have tried a number of ways to get this working by playing with the parameters (specifically opt_response format). I've included the JS in its current state below...      <script type="text/javascript">    var repository, workspace        window.onload = function() {            FMEServer.init({            server : "https://*******************",                token : "********************************"            });            re

When I download an FME script from FME Server, the Save local copy dialog defaults to the My Documents\\My FME Server Workspaces folder. I would rather have it default to a certain folder in my workstation. I don't see any setting in the options of FME Desktop 2016 that would allow me to do that. Is it possible?

I have several hundred jobs that I'm processing on FMECloud. The FMEJobSubmitter is set to 'Wait for job to complete: No" so I can take full advantage of 10 engines and the queue. After the JobSubmitter I have a FeatureHolder, then a Sorter (Descending by _Job_id), then a Sampler (First 1 Features) to get the last job "_job_id". When the last jobs arrive from the queue and run on the 10 engines the dataset for the last job is smaller and therefore finishes before the others, therefore the FMEServerJobWaiter sees the last job is Complete the workbench continues, although all the jobs are not really complete. If one could set the Priority in the FMEServerJobSubmitter via an attribute one could set the priority of the last job to be lower (ie. 101) than the others (ie. 100) forcing it to really be last.

Looking for some confirmation here:If I have set up a publication in FME Cloud to use the built-in SMTP email and send an email to it while it's paused it never gets delivered and thus the associated workspace never gets triggered, correct?

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 Pascal Mortz1Spatial Lyon, Francepascal.mortz@1spatial.com

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 to the subject line only. Ever since then, it stopped saving. And no email is being sent. Can anyone shed light on this temperamental issue? Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi,I am using FME Server 2015, is it possible, while logging in as admin, to schedule a task to be run under specific FME server user?

Hi,We have many schedules with FME Server. I disable a schedule in http://.../fmeserver/schedules but the job starts anyway. If i restart the windows service, the job is not started.May be there is a glitch in subprocess of scheduler. How to fix this issue ?Thx

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
