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

Can I use fme to ping a website and measure the response time?  I want to check the response time / speed of a website and log the results to measure performance.

DataDownload service zip files are being deleted from the DefaultResults directory before users have downloaded them. How can the file deletion time be configured to allow longer to download the file?

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

Hi,  Just a simple query to make things easy at the workplace. I am working on Windows7 machine, 8Gb RAM, FME2015 x86  SP1. Sometimes, it takes hours for an FME workbench to run completely. I just want an email notification for the WB completetion(successful or failed) so as to run other process in the queue(internet connection available 24x7). Is that possible with FME.!!? :) Shivam.

Hi all, I've a FMW (test2.fmw) that include a notification. It works and i receive a file error if the traitment issue.  Now, i've another FMW (test1.fmw) that execute my test2.fmw with FMEServerJobSubmitter. In this case, if my test2.fmw issue, the notification doesn't  work !   Any idea, please?  Thanks in advance. FarFar

I am trying to setup an email notification to be alerted when a scheduled task on FME server fails.  I have tried working through the tutorial but nothing is working.  Any tips from a user who does this would be great.  thanks Dan

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.

Hello,  Is there a way to attach a generated textfile to an email? in the FMEServerEmailGenerator there is the field "Attachments" but how should i point to the generated file?  thanks

Hi, I need to automate the download of a Shapefile (as a ZIP) from a site which requires authentication. The Shape-reader will read a ZIP directly from a URL, but does not allow for authentication params. I have looked at HTTPFetcher but unsure how I can get this to download the file for me. Anyone?

hello  I include the keyword {StatusMessage} into the "Email Subject" line. But the "Keyword"  is not exchanged. I try to do it like it is mentioned on this website: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Workspace-notifications-Part-2  It works with the Email Template but not with the Email Subject.  Thanks

Hello,  I have published a wrokflow as Job Submitter Service and I am sending a service request with service mode as ASYNC. I get immidiate response that job submitted successfuly.

Hi there, I have to make some reparations in my client's app. He is still on FME 2013, however I upgraded to FME 2014.

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?

Hi dears.  Read this article on FMEpedia.  http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Email-Configuration-for-FME-Server-2011-2012  It is possible to configure e-mail to FME Server 2013?  Thank in advance.  Kind regards.  Ramon Wallace.   

Hi,  The data download service on our FME server has started to return URLs with http://localhost:8080 instead of the server name. I can correct the URL in my app, but I'd rather get the service to return a correct URL.  I remember seeing an article about how to change the download URLs back for Server 2012 but I can't find it now. Where do I find the settings for changing the URL? (I've already tried changing the URL pattern in the services settings).  Thanks!  

Hey there,  First time using FME Community to help with a Server related problem, but I have been wrestling with this road block for the better part of a couple days.  Within FME's Server Notification service, is there a way to set up a variable to read users as the "email to" portion of the subscription? What I am looking for is something similar to $(FME_SECURITY_USER), but within the notification outlet. I am working on a project that goes through chained FME jobs and returns a location to a file for colleagues within the office to receive (as in they will go on and activate the job themselves) via email. I have a shutdown python script on the last job at the end of the process that works fine, but I wanted to make the fail message apart of a notification service. Having a hardwired email address would be pointless for this idea.  Tl;Dr- Is there a way to integrate a universal "email to" parameter within the Notification service?  Thanks for the time.

What is the best way to read multiple feature types, from multiple different data sources for data download service? I expect there will be 75+ feature types, mostly coming from one or two different SDE databases, but there will also be file-based (likely file geodatabases and/or shapefiles) coming from different sources via http/ftp.  All the examples I've seen for data download have the feature types coming from one reader and use the Feature Types to Read parameter to give the user the ability to choose which feature types to download.  Based on what I've found I'm thinking I need to use a FeatureReader(s) but I couldn't find examples on how to implement it for multiple data sources. I hope that's clear and I apologize if the answer is already out there, I just couldn't find it.  Thanks, Michael

Hi All,  I am just starting to use FME server and immediately want to make use of some fancy options :)I have already been reading up the documentation and this article explains the method clearly. I basically need FME server to receive a mail with a url to a download service, download the data and trigger a database update. The example json contains :"email_publisher_content{0}": "MyBody\\r\\n", I guess this is where the url will be present (?) does anybody have some tips/experience to share about this?  Any help is appreciated, Cheers, Itay.  

Hi all,  We had a notification service setup and running on our FME Server but over the weekend the topics all disappeared. How could this have happened, any thoughts on the matter?  Best wishes, Annet
