Deployment

HelloWe have just updated FME Flow to 2025.2.4. As we also need the qfieldcloud-sdk module, I installed it with pip-install "C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\fmepython313\python.exe" -m pip install qfieldcloud-sdkSomehow this installation got mixed up and the module was installed in python 3.12"C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\fmepython313\python.exe" -m pip show qfieldcloud-sdkName: qfieldcloud-sdkVersion: 0.13.0Summary: The official QFieldCloud SDK and CLI.Home-page: https://github.com/opengisch/qfieldcloud-sdk-pythonAuthor:Author-email: Ivan Ivanov <ivan@opengis.ch>License:Location: C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\fmepython312\Lib\site-packagesRequires: certifi, charset-normalizer, click, idna, pathvalidate, requests, requests-toolbelt, tqdm, urllib3Required-by:(» Location: C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\

Hi all, we are on Flow 2025.2 and we use Geometry Parameter for quite a few ws apps. Now we are living with the bug FMEFLOW-26285Changes to the default basemap of a geometry user parameter under the Parameter Defaults when creating/editing a Workspace app do not get applied to the Workspace app. Users accessing the workspace app will see that the default basemap is unchanged. Any tips for a workaround? Can one change the default using javascript in the webpage possibly?

Has anyone else run into issues with how things are displayed in FME Flow 2025.2.1 Examples: Engine Assignment Rules - we have two hosts which differ in name by suffix only. The way engines are displayed on the Engine Assignment Rules tab means you can’t quickly tell which engines are assigned as the critical bit is displayed as … (the full names are available on mouseover) The hostnames displayed in No proxy also have their urls partially replaced with …. so there appears to be no way to actually check via the user interface what values are entered here. In 2024.1 these values were displayed in full 

Hi Community,I tried to use a DB Connection as Deployment Parameter and set it as Default value in the User Parameters in Workbench as shown in Screenshot below. However when I publish this workspace to Flow the User Parameter with DB Connection is empty and I need to select again the DB Connection manually (2nd Screenshot).Is this an expected behaviour? In my logic the User Parameter should be set automatically (works like this e.g. for Text Deployment Parameters as User Parameter). A workaround I found was to delete the User Parameter before deployment then the Job in Flow uses directly the correct DB Connection.Thanks for your response in advance - BR Kai. Deployment / User Parameter Settings in Workbench

Is there any way to cancel a system restore, it appears to be hung at  Unzipping migration package stage for 1.5 hours now.  I think the file system/network glitched during the process.  There is no cancel in the UI, no jobs running.  

Hi there,Just finished a fresh install of FME Flow 2025.2.1.I was configuring the backups and noticed that the output files were not getting a timestamp.Looking at the httpcallers they both submit using the non-timestamped attribute:If Append Date is No:If Append Date is yes:What it should be: Thanks,Marc

Is it possible to turn off the “Browse Resources” button or make browse file system larger in FME Flow apps? Here is a screenshot of what i’m referring to.   

Dear Community,i am experiencing a strange behavior from our FME Server when uploading/publishing a FME Desktop workspace in FME Server.Previously, it was possible to publish workspaces from FME Desktop to FME Server.Recently, publishing from FME Desktop is no longer possible, nor is it possible to upload workspaces to FME Server via the Web UI.I only receive very little information about the error in FME Desktop ,also with the debug logging.The following excerpt from the log:Successfully retrieved service properties.Retrieving service parameters for ‘geodatabase_sde2none.fmw’...No service parameters found.Uploading as ‘geodatabase_sde2none.fmw’...Publish failed - FME Flow encountered an error.When I upload a workspace in FME Server via Web UI, I get the following messages in the network console of the Browser:Get Call <FME-Server-URL>/repositories/{repository}/items/{item}returns a 404

Hi!I have had trouble fully understanding how to setup the ArcGIS Server license on the FME Flow VM. I cannot seem to find clear documentation online to walk admins through this process. I understand that an ArcGIS Server license needs to be on the same machine as FME Flow if workflows contain ArcSDE and gdbs.If possible, can someone please provide steps, or link to an article that clearly walks through this setup? For some background, my organization has an Esri Enterprise environment, but I have no idea if when walking through the setup if a new site needs to be created, or if I’m supposed to join our existing site, or if joining an existing site could disrupt our Enterprise environment if things arent setup correctly on on FME Flow machine.Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Is there documentation on where the various logs for FME server live? And also something for how they are structured? I’d like to create a datadog/grafana esque dashboard to be able to view these easier.  Thanks!

We just upgraded to FME Flow 2025.2.1 and are now seeing some odd errors in our nightly data automation. Two nights in a row we have had jobs stopping at the same spot, there is nothing in the job log, and the job just fails with the message Job did not complete. When I look in the Windows event log (SYSTEM) for the server I can see a note of a “Fail Fast Exception” in fmeengine.exe - has anyone else seen anything like that? 

Hi all,In our company we are using FME Flow, it's works great.Except with one workspace we get some errors. On the desktop version is works flawlessly! The error we get is about a plugin (STUF-GEO) that cannot be loaded:144 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | File C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\metafile\STUF-GEO.fmf could not be opened 148 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | Could not load module 'C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\plugins/STUF-GEO.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' 149 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | Could not load module 'C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\STUF-GEO.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' 150 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | This FME edition does not recognize the `STUF-GEO' reader.

We have a distributed architecture of FME Flow 2025.1.2 using our own Tomcat deployment and we’re offloading our SSL via F5 into our private IP space. The issue we’re seeing is in the FME Flow REST API Gateway is the URL used in CURL/Request example URLs are http but should be https.We don’t believe its a CORS issue since we’re inside our domain. Where is FME Flow getting the CURL URL? Can we change it in a config file? Or is something else going on?

I upgrade FME Flow from 2024.2 to 2025.2.1 using the Windows express installation method. With all setting using default.Under “Engine Management” the localhost showing have 0 standard engines. Even I manually change it to 2, it stays at 0. FME Flow Engines service is running correctly. When I tried restart the service, FMEEngine.exe will show on details tab in Task Manager then disappear. When I tried run FMEEngine.exe, this error pop up:processMonitorConfigEngines.txt:NODE_ADMIN_PORT=7500NODE_MANAGED=true# ENGINE process configuration templateTEMPLATE_START_ENGINE="C:/Program Files/FMEFlow/Server/fme/FMEEngine.exe" REGISTER_FME_ENGINE localhost 7070 DEFAULT "C:/Program Files/FMEFlow/Server/fmeEngineConfig.txt" -ENGINE_HOST_NAME localhost TEMPLAT

When people download data from us they get maps that have names about what kind of data they are downloading and not the names. Like the photo but under the folders there are the names that i can control (see blue circle). Does anyone know how to change this or just skip the folders and just let everything go to the same place? They have a demo for this for shapefiles where they go in the same folder but it cant be used for cad as it needs to use layer name not for naming files but for the layer name I want in the file. Also when you do this you get extra attributes from other files even if they are just empty. This is so in the demo from Safe here: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/27400509041421-Data-Distribution-Tutorial

Is it possible to turn off log entries like these?Workspace was last saved in FME version: FME 2025.1.3.1 (20251021 - Build 25645 - WIN64) Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage limit. To improve stability and performance please increase the memory available to FME. Available memory can be increased by adding physical RAM, increasing swap space, or closing other applicationsThese just add clutter to the job reviewing process.   

Hello everyone,I’m wondering if we could rack your brains for some help. Where I work we had FME Flow and Form introduced in a rush for a particular project. In my team (GIS) we have some prior experience with FME Form but none with Flow. We have undertaken the online training but it’s no replacement for hands on experience.We fumbled through and managed to get the solution for the rush project sorted. However, I think our solution is a workaround as we had to make 2 flows, one to read from a database, do some stuff and then write to the FME Flow resources folder, and then the second to read from resources and write to our network share. We were never able to read from the database location and write to the network share in one flow, which seems wrong to me.We have moved onto other projects recently and are coming across the same problem (also in the backup scheduler). From poking around a bit more we’ve found that if you run the workspace locally in Form > g

Maybe someone has experienced this before, i have been trying to make an workspace App in fme FLOW 2023, the goal is to make an app where the user can choose the source file. I have tried creating the App but it does not allow the user to choose the file location.does someone have an idea what i may be missing out? I am using the FME PATH reader. Thanks,Keller.

We are able to login to FME Flow URL directly using SAML login but when we are trying to publish FME workbenches using SAML login, getting below error message. Can someone please help on the below error message:We noticed that the following error is due to a block from Conditional Access policy.As per findings from IT team, This issue is from FME application end where login is not able to recognise what OS or browser being used on the server, the application might not configured correctly and may not support conditional access. And this needs to be checked from the Application End.     

Hello,I want just to share a issue and the solution, I encountered with my CD pipeline.The FME Flow : 2024.2.3 Ansible version below 2.19The need : upload file in a ressource connection or upload fsproject file. But for specific reason I had to use Flow api V4.FME Flow APIIn Api V3, we can use the upload file in the body with these resquestpost /resources/connections/{resource}/filesys/{ path }It’s support to set the file in the body for the upload a single file or the multipart form data. Both are available.In api V4 the request to upload a file is :Post /resources/connections/{connection}/uploadAnd for upload fsproject for importPost /migrations/imports/uploadBoth in api V4 support only the multipart form data.AnsibleThe module uri support the mulitpart form data that only from 2.1

We have a FME Flow (2025.1) workspace where it takes a csv file with parameters to run. This has been working fine for a long time in two separate but identical deployments. However when tried to run this workspace today, it throws an error as below:This is same in both deployments when accessed via external url (which uses an Azure application gateway). It is showing same error when accessed internally via port 8080 (as in the image below). Any idea what is going on, how to resolve this?All other workflows seems working fine, except this one. 

Hello everyone,unfortunately i do have a “problem” with a workspace-app. The workspace-app has an upload-field where you can also click “Browse Resources”. Clicking on that opens a windows with two tabs (default as i understand it). One “Resources” and one “Temporary Uploads”.The goal is to configure it in a way that the “Resources” tab is not available/visible.I checked out this question here Enabling "Resource" tab in workspace application. | Community. However, not granting any permissions in the “Resources” area of the API-token  for this app does not solve it.

We are implementing a CI/CD pipeline for FME Flow using an Azure YAML pipeline. When exporting an FME project from DEV with deployment parameters enabled under Advanced Options, those parameters overwrite the values in ACC and PRD during deployment. If the same project is imported manually, this issue does not occur.Is this a known bug in the FME Flow API? Or is there a recommended way to prevent deployment parameters from being overwritten during automated deployments?Additional details:If all advanced options are manually unchecked, deployments work as expected. The token used for the pipeline requires full permissions (fmesuperuser); otherwise, roles cannot be deployed. Restricting permissions or deployment parameter rights results in nothing being deployed.FME Flow version we have is 2024.1.2Any insights or best practices would be appreciated!

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?

As the title states, i am looking to update from 2022.1.1 to 2025.1.3.3 in place on the dedicated server that is set up.per the knowledgebase: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Upgrade-in-Place-Same-Machine.htmi need to “Configure the FME Flow database on a separate database server” could i just use a different drive or different folder for the new installation instead?
