Deployment

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?

Hello (FME) world,I’d like to identify all URLs called by all FME workspaces in FME Flow - as we are migrating servers and I need to ensure these are whitelisted.Is there a ~quick and ~easy way to do this?Thanks!

Our current FME Flow configuration uses 4 standard engines and 2 queues. One queue is set to high priority and is dedicated for workspace apps for quick turnaround jobs, and the other is the default queue with medium priority. One engine is dedicated to the quick turnaround queue, and the other 3 are dedicated to the default queue. We have a single job routing rule that assigns jobs that are sourced from workspace apps to the quick turnaround queue. The question is, if the default queue has no jobs at the current time and there is already a job running in the single engine dedicated to the quick turnaround queue, can a workspace app job be moved to the default queue, instead of waiting for the current job to finish? I’m guessing this is a simple ask, but I’m missing how to accomplish it.

My workspace is set to python compatibility 3.11 + a custom arcgis python environment, which works perfectly running in formRunning the same workspace on my Remote engine(on the same machine as form) it is using python v3.12 inside the FME install directory, even though I have changed the python variables to point to the correct version and python path using fme APPLY_SETTINGS The settings look correct using fme LIST_SETTINGS + I have restarted all FME servicesHow do I set the remote engine to use the correct python environment?Remote engine - FME 2024.2 on windows, on premFME Flow 2024.2 - Cloud/hosted

I use the ArcGISOnlineConnector (3.10) on FME 2024.2.1.0On FME Form everythings works perfect. When I try to run it on FME Flow it still seems to finish the workspace, but it Fails and somewhere in the log is the following lines:1002 2025-7-10 15:31:05 | Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::Exception1003 2025-7-10 15:31:05 | Python Exception <ValueError>: API not configured1004 2025-7-10 15:31:05 | Error encountered while calling method `input'1005 2025-7-10 15:31:05 | ArcGISOnlineConnector_CALLER (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process featureAnybody an idea what the issue could be?

I have an FME workspace currently published on our development FME Flow instance. I am now going to deploy it to production FME Flow. The problem is this workspace comes with three FME Flow apps. Is there a smart way to transfer the apps to a new FME Flow? Thank you :)

Hi everyone,I’m running FME Flow 2024.2.5 (Build 24832 - linux-x64) on Debian 11 and I’ve followed the instructions posted on https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407741842573-How-to-Setup-an-Oracle-Instant-Client-for-Use-with-FME, but i get the error message “Oracle client libraries (e.g. oci.dll) could not be loaded. Ensure that the 64-bit client is installed and properly configured, and the PATH environment variable includes the file path to your Oracle client.”. The reference to “oci.ddl” is obviously an error, but it’s not the point… I think there is still some issue in the configuration.Any suggestions are welcome.Thanks

I have a set of self-service data conversion apps on our FME Flow (2024). As of now these are workspace apps with a data download service for the user to upload the input data and download the results. I would like to expand on this a little by doing some quality checks on the data and give user feedback on some potential problems. I have started testing on setting up the workspace apps with data streaming services and building HTMLreports for user feedback. The main problem is that I struggle to see how to provide both. The data download app won’t show the HTML report, and the data streaming app won’t provide a download. I have looked at this demo article, as it seems to provide what I need: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407459193613-HTML-Page-with-Link-to-Download-Excel-File-F

Hi,We have a strange issue in our FME Flow 2024.2.3, Build 24825 - win64 that prevents our process running in FME FLow. However, same process runs perfectly normal in my desktop and also in FME Server hosted machine. The job fails with no message on why it failed with below line hanging on for few minutes.“Writer `FeatureWriter_2_0' of type `GEODATABASE_FILE' using group definition keyword `FeatureWriter_2_0_DEF'”Job status: Failure Things i have done so far with no clue:Process runs normal in any PC and also in Server machine Have checked Esri Licenses and they are all valid (as this runs in desktop when run manually) Service account that runs the process has all access required. Process runs if read file (SQL executor) and gdb writer separately, but they dont work and crashes when run in same workspace. Resources -> Logs -> engine -> current -> fmeprocessmonitorengine.log

We had setup a FME Flow 2025.1 HA environment with 2 AWS Windows Servers and FSx shared folder as system share directory.We can publish the workbench to FME Flow as workspace and submit it without issue. And we could confirm the published workspace under FSx shared repositories folder.We can upload the python script to FME Flow resource folder and it could be called by the System Caller successfully. And we could confirm the uploaded python script file under FSx shared resources folder.We can upload the SDE file to FME Flow resource folder and we could confirm the SDE file under FSx shared resources/data folder. But when we call it from the workspace, it had following error message:An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file '\\fs-011axxxxxxxxxx.fsx.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\fsx\FMEFlow2025\Resources\data\SDE\DEV_SDE\CORP_DEV.sde'When we copied t

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!

I have integrated Active Directory with FME Flow by linking the security group, but the usernames still do not appear under User Management > Users. Do I need to add the users manually, or should they be synced automatically from the AD group?

Has anyone performed an installation of FME Flow 2025.1 and chosen to configure HTTPS during installation?Anything to watch out for?

Hello all, When creating a Data Downloader service, the workspace is required to have a writer (the output of the writer is offered to the user in a .zip-file). However, I need to retrieve pdf-files from a website using the HTTP-caller. The writer is in this case embedded in the HTTPCaller and cannot be selected as writer in FME Flow. I have considered saving the pdf-files as attribute (binary). However, I have not managed to convert the binary files back to pdf, or write the attribute as pdf.  I need the functionality of the Data Downloader of being able to draw an area of interest, from which the associated pdf-files are downloaded. How could I make a Data Downloader-service that retrieves pdf's from a website?  

Since recently upgrading FME Form to Build 25609, I’m seeing the following warning on startup.UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.There are no obvious problems, but I would like to suppress the warning. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks.

I have just deployed a distributed Flow (2025.1) in Azure with following configurations (this is to replace a similar deployment in Azure with 2021.1 FME Server version)Core machine - 1Engine machine -1Azure storage accountAzure hosted postgresql flexible serverAzure application gateway In addition to the internal load balancer Azure creates as part of the deployment, we also have a public load balancer associated with the core VM to allow outgoing external traffic.A backup of the configurations from the 2021.1 FME Server is restored to the 2025.1 using the backup/restore fucntion in FME Flow. (Used an intermediate version 2024.2 to restore a backup from 2021.1 and then created a backup to restore to 2025.1, no error and everything works fine in Automation mode) However when select a workspace and ‘Run Workspace’ option is selected, it throws a message saying: There was an error submitting the job. This is same for any w

We are troubleshooting an issue getting FME 2024.0.2.2 to write to an ArcGIS SDE hosted in SQL 2019 on AWS. We have ArcGIS Pro 3.3.5 installed. This should all align with guidance found here: Notes on FME and Esri Versions and Compatibility – FME Support CenterAdditionally, we’ve found new guidance that seems to suggest the decade + old method of using desktop/Pro is no longer valid and ArcGIS Server is required to reside on the same machine as FME Flow: Using FME Flow with Esri ArcGIS Software – FME Support CenterWe have confirmed at publishing in Pro, the default is all licensed users are hitting the concurrent server and

Hi Everyone,Currently FME Flow v2023.1 is installed in our client environment. From documentation it seems that the support will end for this version in Aug 2026. Can someone please confirm which version would be recommended for upgrade?​@hkingsbury ​@david_r ThanksKirti

In version 2024 of FME Flow markdown is offered, but only support on a very restrictive level.As an example: headings, bold and italic work, and email addresses are interpreted in normal text paragraphs.However, the styling is not consistent. Text in itemizations has a different font size than normal text.Email addresses in itemizations are not interpreted...It would be great if the author had the possibility to use HTML to style the text, and make email addresses and url’s active when needed.

We’ve recently upgraded to FME Flow 2024.2 and have started encountering an issue where some of our processes fail to write to ArcSDE using the Geodatabase writer. The error message appears, but I can’t determine the root cause.Some processes are able to write to the SDE consistently, while few others mostly fail—though they have occasionally succeeded. I’ve tried re-uploading with various ArcGIS default settings, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.We’re currently using ArcGIS Desktop 2022.Any insight would be appreciated. 2025-7-7 09:44:12 | Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article
