FME Flow 2024.2 - Create Project not able to add Resource Path

I’ve not seen that particular issue, but I have seen similar issues when attempting to move within the resources folder, which makes the same api call I think

This is in 2024.1 Build 24612

I don’t see this behaviour in our Dev environment which is the same build but doesn’t have a remote filesystem

Interesting - I tried it out on out FME Flow - We are working with FME Cloud and I can see the ones which are listed here as "migratable": true - that is, Engine, Data and Dashboard.

One difference I see in my response is that in each case the “type” is listed as “file” rather than “network”.

It’s hard to know if this is the reason why it’s not showing up for you, however, I could definitely see the possibility that “network” connection types would not be able to be migrated, but it’s hard to say if this behaviour is intended or expected here. 

 

​@virtualcitymatt Thanks, I will have a look if I can find where the migratable attribute comes from. In my response this is also ‘false’.  

Thanks to ​@virtualcitymatt I found out that only the resources of type ‘file’ AND migratable = ‘true’ are listed. I modified the type and migratable attribute in the fme database table fme_sharedres to find this out. I’ve compared this with the 2022 version (FME Server 2022.2.2
Build 22782 - win64). There the type is ‘network’ AND migratable = ‘false’. So there is a difference in the new UI.

Not sure if everything will keep on working as it should after changing these attributes
