 Hi Why do I identify myself every time I use a service hosted by us internally. Although I use AD integration to use FME . Can someone give us instructions how to avoid irritation ?   Regards Ahmed Jama

I have read this article: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/678/create-a-c...How do you modify the fmeEngineConfig.txt file to make the necessary changes?

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?

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)

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

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 

Is there a way to control which file types directory watch processes? I have a process set up to run xml files triggered through directory watch. Folders containing jpgs are also copied to this directory (I have no control over this). These folders trigger the process then fail. Is there some way to tell directory watch to only process xmls?

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? My first idea is to create another pr

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

I cannot get the Strahler generator to work properly unless I put node points on every source leaf instead of on the single destination node. Surely this is all back to front? I have spent a lot of time validating a simple network topology. 2015.1 build 15483 WIN32

I've been playing a little bit with the new writer functionality of FME 2015 and I'm wondering if there's a way to control the attribute type when using the automatic attribute definition instead of just having the default char 200.

Hey all,  I have four workspaces that are designed to run one after the other through a notification service based on if the previous one was succesful or not. Now this works perfectly when manualy activated, but I need to transfer the process over to a Schedule as to make it run sometime during the night so it does not bog down the FME Engine. But, when this is done, it only runs the first workspace in the process and negates the success message to start up the second one.  Does the Schedule service not work well with the Notification service?
