Brand FORM UI

We have 3 different FME servers, how can we modify the FLOW UI so that you can easily distinguish one server from the other?

System Email config for Microsoft Exhange Online with OAuth

This article covers setting up FME Form & Flow Emailer transformers, but doesn't cover the System Email setup in FME Flow. https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407404506253-How-to-Connect-to-Microsoft-Exchange-Online-using-OAuth-2-0-Microsoft-Modern-Authentication That page has much fewer settings available than the transformers: The docs don’t mention how to use Client ID (UI notes this as Microsoft OAuth only) https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/WebUI/System-Email.htm What are the steps needed to set up System Email with Microsoft OAuth?Do we need to register an SMTP Account & Password rather than use Client ID / Client Secret?

ArcGIS Portal Web Connection as Published Parameter

I am trying to read/write from ArcGIS Portal in FME Flow with a parameterized Web Connection, but am not able to select a connection in FME Flow. I used these steps to set everything up succesfully: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407772142733-How-to-Create-an-ArcGIS-Enterprise-Portal-Web-Connection-OAuth-2-0 ✅ FME Form I created: a webservice named 'Esri ArcGIS Portal MyCompany’ several web connecions: ‘user1 Esri ArcGIS Portal MyCompany’, ‘user2 Esri ArcGIS Portal MyCompany’ This works fine in FME Form and I can read from ArcGIS Portal. ✅ FME Flow I published these service, connections and workspace to FME Flow as described, and this runs fine as well. As long as the connection is hardcoded in the workspace. ❌ FME Flow with Portal Connection Parameter Now I want to create a parameter for this connection, so I can choose in FME Flow which connection to use, but that doesn't seem to work. When creating the parameter the only supported service is 'Esri ArcGIS Portal (Templa

silent install fme-flow-2024.2.3-b24825-win-x64.exe

Hi, we are trying to perform a silent install for fme flow 2024.2.3. Because the installer installs on-the-fly some additional software like CLR Types for SQL Server and the Visual Studio Redistibutables, we cannot use our old method of copying a pre-extracted set of cabinet files, as suggested in the installation manual. We have to execute the self-extracting archive and supply the installation properties as a quoted string. We tried a couple ways of coding the properties (single quotes, double quotes, 8-fold quotes) however the script simply seems to install the additional software and then presents in a non-silent mode the fme-flow installer dialog box (see attachment). Anyone have any ideas? Our simple install script is attached to this question too. ​@david_r maybe?

How only search for certain cities in workspace app?

Hello everyone, I created a workspace app that is now used by my colleagues. In my script I have a geom parameter. In the workspace app the user uses the map tthen o populate the value for the geom parameter.My colleagues asked whether it's possible for the search to be limited to a certain area (Netherlands or even Utrecht ) One colleague made a typo and ended up in Latin-America. In order to minimize such mistakes it would be nice to limit the searches to certain areas and I was wondering whether that would be possible.

Comparison FME Flow silent install properties to FME Server

Hi, we are silent installing FME Flow for the first time. We used to install FME Server using a silent install script, which uses the next installation properties: FMESERVERHOSTNAMEINSTALLDIRFMESERVERSHAREDDATAPGDATAWEBSERVERHOSTNAMESERVLETPORTDATABASEPASSWORD In the new FME Flow silent install instructions, a different set of installation properties is used. I think the properties above compare to COREHOSTNAME (changed)INSTALLDIR (unchanged)FMEFLOWSHAREDDATA (changed)PGDATA (unchanged)EXTERNALHOSTNAME (changed)SERVLETPORT (unchanged)DATABASEPASSWORD (unchanged). My questions: Can this be confirmed? Would it be possible to get a link to the location where this is documented?

FME Flow Error: SDE Database Connection & Resource Path

We are converting a number of GIS-focused Automations in FME Flow 2024.0 to use the new SDE Database Connections instead of the old PATH resource. FME Flow is returning an error when attempting to read the new database connection properties: ‘An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file’ For each of the FME Flow Database Connections, we used an FME Resource, ‘SDE_GISD’, for the path reference for the connection file. We found if we use a UNC path instead of the FME Flow resource it works as expected. Is this a limitation or are we doing something wrong? Connection works as expected on local host, local server host, and with UNC path for the database connection within FME Flow. Just not with using a Resource path in the connection.

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

I’ve looked at the request and the response contains the list of resource paths at the highest level but this list is not displayed in the UI.

Set FilePath for FME_SHAREDRESOURCES_TEMP

Morning all, I’m trying to create a workspace that works both on FME Flow & Form. I’m using the FME_JOB_ID to determine what the workflow is running on. If its FME Form I’m setting the filepath to a shared drive. For Flow I’m trying to set it to the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP folder to produce a data download. If I hard code the parameter in the writer to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)@Value(_FILEPATH) its fine, but I can’t do this as the file will not then post to a shared drive. If I try and set the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP in the workspace to push that to my parameter and add it to the created filepath FME no longer produces the downloaded zip file. I’m setting the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP to the url defined on Flow - which in this case is something like https://-myserverlocation-/fmeserver/resources/browse?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP&name=Temp Is this correct, or should I be using a shorter, relative path? EDIT: Sorry just figured out I don’t need to set this at all! FME Flow just does it

Deployment parameters in Flow 2024.1.1 app not working

A simple workspace created in Workbench 2024.1.1 with three FME Flow deployment parameters - a web connection using Esri ArcGIS Portal (Template), a DB connection to PostgreSQL and a Text deployment parameter - works perfectly in Workbench as well as a manual or scheduled job once published to Flow. An FME Flow app created from that workspace fails trying to access the Web and DB deployment parameters. The Text parameter works fine. The app fails whether or not authentication is required to run the app. The Web and DB connections and the associated deployment parameters have been shared with fmeuser and fmeguest roles with Read access to try to fix the problem - but that did not help.

FME Flow unavailable services

I’m trying to publish a new app on FME Flow, but there are no services listed to create the app. If I try open an existing app, it says “You do not have access to the "fmedatastreaming" service.” I’m logged as a admin with all possible rights. If I go to services settings, all seems normal. So Im not able to create any app and practically run any workspace. What could have gone wrong? EDIT:After updating to FME 2024.2.3 the problem stays exactly the same.

FME Server/Flow HTTPCaller Fails with Web Connection but works on Desktop/Form

Hi! I could use a hand. I'm running an FME workspace that downloads data from ArcGIS Online using 4 HTTPCallers and a Web Connection. The workflow works fine in FME Form 2024, but when I publish and run it in FME Flow 2024.1, it fails. Setup: Using a Web Connection to authenticate (ArcGIS Online). The Web Connection exists in FME Server and is assigned to my user. The Web Connection is correctly assigned in FME Server. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Could it be related to permissions, token handling, or FME Server settings? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best EC2 instance type for FME

Hi all, Could you please share your experience on what types of AWS EC2 instances you use for FME Flow and FME Form. I wonder if the M5 instance type is recommended since it is used for FME Flow Hosted. We mostly use “t3.large”. I understand that the choice depends on server load etc., but I would like to know the best practices. Thanks!

Questions about in place upgrade of FME Server 2022 to Flow 2024

We are currently running FME Server 2022.2. on prem (not cloud hosted). We had been planning on upgrading to the latest, but now even more so with the privilege escalation issue, and there apparently not being a fix for our version….except to upgrade. Looking over the “in place upgrade” portion of the documentation, it seems we can simply backup the configuration files (we’re not using version control yet), do an uninstall of 2022.2, do a fresh install of the latest 2024, and then restore the configuration backup. Are there any known issues with doing this from 2022 to 2024? I know the product was rebranded in 2023, but the differences I could see between 2022 and 2023 seemed mostly cosmetic for the rebrand. However, I know 2024 seems to be different. I just really want to dot all my i’s and cross all my t’s, and keep any down time to a minimum. And know if there are any “gotchas” that can be avoided. Thank you.
