Version Control (without GitHub option) Not Showing History

I installed FME Flow 2024 and configured it to have Version Control on (without the GitHub option). I published a workspace from FME Form. Then, in FME Form, I altered the workspace (added a transformer) and re-published it, replacing the first version. However, when I click History, I get zero results, both at the top-Workspaces level and at the repository level. Anyone have insight to add to this?

Exception when running encryptConfigSetting.sh: ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils

I’m trying to update FME Flow from version 2023.1 to 2024.2. Upgrading In Place, On the Same Machine. I want to use the encryption key from the previous FME Flow installation so I could restore the previous configuration in the new installation. This means I also want to update my FME Flow Database password in fmeDatabaseConfig.txt. Before starting the newly installed FME Flow, the encryptConfigSetting.sh script works and outputs the password in the format of DB_PASSWORD=fme_enc:xxx. After I’ve started the FME Flow, the script does not work anymore: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/codec/digest/DigestUtils at COM.safe.fmeserver.encryption.FMEEncryptionKeyFileUtils.computeChecksum(FMEEncryptionKeyFileUtils.java:22) at COM.safe.fmeserver.encryption.FMEEncryptionKeyAccessorFile.calculateChecksum(FMEEncryptionKeyAccessorFile.java:86) at COM.safe.fmeserver.encryption.FMEEncryptionKeyAccessorFile.loadKeys(FMEEncryptionKeyAccessorFile.java:159) at

Error 502 Bad Gateway when trying to access https://hostname.mydomain.eu/fmeserver

Hello everyone We have a problem, we upgraded from FME Server 2022 to FME Flow 2024.1.1 FME Flow was installed on a virtual machine in Azure, after doing the express installation it was configured to use a .pfx certificate and HTTPS according to the documentation ( https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407434854157-Configuring-FME-Flow-for-HTTPS-Using-a-PFX-or-P12-Certificate ) In the fmeServerConfig.txt file it was assigned to FME_SERVER_WEB_URL=https://<hostname>:443 From that machine we tried accessing using https://<hostname>/fmeserver/ and it works fine From any other computer we used https://<hostname>.mydomain.eu/fmeserver/ and it worked but now this gives an error 502 Bad Gateway Is it a DNS error or are we missing something to configure in FME Flow? Thanks in advance

FME FLOW Restore Backup fails after upgrade from 2023.1 to 2024.2

Hello, I just performed an upgrade from FME FLOW 2023.1 to version 2024.2 and now I have a big problem because I can’t restore the backup I made before upgrading. The restore process fails with The system restore failed for the following reason:The export location provided is invalid. The error message in the History list says COM.safe.fmeserver.configuration.migration.FMEConfigurationException: java.lang.NullPointerException: inputStream in a red box just above the heading “Failure”. The log just states Unable to extract import package. The backup.fsconfig is a quite large file (15 GB) because I forgot to remove some raster files from the resources before creating the backup. I copied it manually to the resources/Backup folder so I can select it from there for restoring instead of uploading. Nonetheless it won’t restore. I can unzip the file and see its content, so the archive itself is seemingly OK. What I did try: Unzipped the file to a directory, removed the raster files from the c

Missing plugins after fresh FME Flow installation

After a fresh installation of FME Flow 2024.1.2.1 are we (at least) missing the following two libraries: DateTimeFormat_func.dll DateTimeNow_func.dll Any idea where I can get these dll’s from so I can add them to the plugin directory of the server?

WORKSPACE_NAME dereferenced?

We just installed FME Flow 2024.1.2.1 on a Windows machine and I published a workspace. Running the workspace immediately ends in: Undefined macro `WORKSPACE_NAME' dereferenced in file `flow_testing\sqlserver_test_delete\sqlserver_test_delete.fmw' The workspace was published from an ArcGIS Interoperability Workbench [FME(R) 2024.0.1.0 (20240328 - Build 24202 - WIN64)], but I tried the same from FME Form 2024.2. The result is the same. The workspace is as simple as it gets. Just a reader and a writer, and the error appears independent if there is a name for the workspace set or not. Can somebody please point me the right direction to solve the issue?

FME Form 2024 fails to connect to FME Server 2022?

Hi All. Our FME servers are still running 2022.2, but I need to run a specific job in FME Form 2024.1, and have it execute a workspace on the server. But the workspace refuses to connect to the server. This happens regardless of using FMEServerJobSubmitter (as copied from an old workspace), or a brand new FMEFlowJobSubmitter. The web connection used is saved in an older version (2020-2022), and works there. I tried to create and use a new connection in 2024, but that also fails. What caveats are present when trying to connect 2024 to a 2022 server ? Any insights and experiences are welcome. Cheers, Lars I.

Compatibility of FME Flow 2024.1 with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1: Arcpy and ArcGIS API Functionality

I’m considering updating FME Flow to version 2024.1 on a server where we currently have ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 installed. Some of my workspaces utilize Arcpy and the ArcGIS API for Python. Based on the compatibility table, ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 is compatible with FME 2021.2, but not with FME 2024.1. Can anyone clarify whether Arcpy and the ArcGIS API for Python will function properly with FME Flow 2024.1 in this setup? Are there any known issues I should be aware of? https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407724093837-Notes-on-FME-and-Esri-Versions-and-Compatibility

Dynamic Email Distribution List in FME Flow

We have an FME Flow automation that monitors a network directory for new files. Once new files arrive, they are emailed as attachments using an FME Flow Email (send) Action. Is there a way to make the “Email To” distribution list somewhat dynamic? We have an FME Workspace that generates a text file of the desired distribution list. Currently when it is determined a change might have occurred in the list, we open the text file and manually copy & paste the contents into the “Email To” of the FME Automation monitoring the network directory. Is there a means to have the Automation’s “Email To” parameter just use the text file directly? Or perhaps to have the workspace that generates the text file be included in the automation and provide the current distribution list once the automation is triggered?

Can I use Fetch in Version Control to write new workbenches to my Production Environment?

We are in the process of setting up our production environment. I have enabled version control in Dev and have been committing/pushing my workbench edits to our external GIS repository. I have connected our production environment to the same repository, but Fetch doesn’t pull down the workbenches. Is that normal behavior, as is that user-error? I know I can make a Project file and move them, but was wondering if I’m doing something wrong.

FME Flow User Info Gathering

I have multiple FME Flow/Server Apps that are used by a lot of people. We have not decided to give each individual their own account on Flow. That might be the answer, but is there a way to get the user ip address or computer name? If it is a public accessible app I know it might be tough, but I feel like it should be able to read this in the logs.

FME Server - health check fails using API V4

Hello, I’m actually running an instance of FME Server deployed using Safe Software’s Helm chart. The core component image version is 2024.1, and the HTTP readiness probe path is the following: /fmeapiv4/healthcheck/readiness The result of a get request is the following: { "status": "notReady", "message": "One or more essential processes are unavailable.", "components": [ { "component": "notifier", "status": "up" }, { "component": "connections", "status": "up" }, { "component": "queue", "status": "up" }, { "component": "resources", "status": "up" }, { "component": "core", "status": "up" }, { "component": "cleanup", "status": "up" }, { "component": "configuration", "status": "up" }, { "component": "relayer", "status": "up" }, { "component": "scheduler", "status": "up" } ], "initializationTasks": [ { "task": "installDefaultContent", "status": "failure" } ]} The problem seems to be with initialization tasks. Do you have a pointer to where to look in order to fix this ? Thanks

SQL Creator/Executor using an ArcSDE connection works in FME Form but is unsuccessful when published to FME Flow

Our FME Form installations are able to establish ArcSDE connections with a SQL creator to our enterprise SQL Server geodatabase and perform SQL Select statements. When these workspaces are published to Flow the following warnings are received and the records are not read:“Esri Geodatabase: ArcMap has limited SQL functionality and may not be able to process query 'SELECT CPSUPV,CPTECH FROM AICC.GLP_BDinfo'. Consider installing ArcGIS Pro for broader SQL functionality” FME Flow is able to use the same ArcSDE connections, and read records with an ArcSDE Reader from our enterprise SQL Server geodatabase. It only seems to complain when we attempt to execute SQL through the connection with a SQL Creator or Executor. Additionally, FME Flow successfully executes SQL statements using SQL Creators/Executors against the enterprise geodatabase when connecting via a Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial format connection. Is there a configuration that could be addressed on the Flow Servers to enable SQL

FME Remote Engine Services - How to build Docker Image and Container?

​Hey! I’m faced with the challenge of deploying FME Remote Engine Services (RES) in a hybride cloud scenario. In this scenario, Windows/Linux VMs are not an option and I came up with the idea of packaging RES in a Ubuntu-based Docker Image for a containerized deployment. My approach is to use silent install with a cfg-file like officially supported for FME Flow installation on a Ubuntu base image. However, I’m adapting it for the Remote Engine Services, which are shipped as a *.run file. Unfortunately, there is no official documentation/support for the Docker part and I had to build my custom image. However, I was wondering if anyone out there has tried something like this? Why is this not officially supported by @safe @safesoftware (yet)? Seems like a low hanging fruit - for FME Flow dockerfile is provided officially and it is much more complex… Added this as an idea: FME Remote Engine Services as Docker/Kubernetes Deployment | SafeSoftware Community

How to extract FeatureReader/Writer parameters using FMEFlow Rest API v3

Hello, I currently have a workbench that extracts all of my job history, auotmations, dataEndpoints (readers/writers) which I feed into a powerBI dashboard so I can more easily track data i/o, and jobs via using httpcallers and the fme flow rest api v3. I have just realised there is a issue with this, FeatureReaders, FeatureWriters, SQLExecutors and SQLCreators are excluded when using get “/repositories/{repository}/items/{item}/datasets/{dtype}”… to extract my readers/writers, dtype refers to source or destination, which is only assigned to readers and writers.The issue is FeatureReaders and FeatureWriter are transformers, they are not included in this output! What other methods can I use to extract these parameters from the FeatureReaders/FeatureWriters? (source/destination datasets specifically)

Upgrading FME Flow - dropping database configured on own server

Is there a reason the FME database user has to be dropped and recreated when upgrading FME Flow, as opposed to just dropping all the schema objects? Is it just because it’s simpler to drop and recreate?

Changing FME Flow .war Files for URL Change

This is what I was going to post in FME Communities. Please change anything that doesn't make sense as I may have used terminology wrong: We are currently deploying FME Flow 2024.1.1 and will need to run FME Server 2022.2 in parallel for the next few months while we migrate workspaces/solutions over to Flow. With that in mind, we were curious about changing the URL of FME Flow from https://DOMAIN/fmeserver to https://DOMAIN/fmeflow by changing the fmeserver.war file name to fmeflow.war and redeploying Tomcat. Note: We’re using our own version of Tomcat and have a distributed deployment setup. We were able to get the new ‘fmeflow’ URL to work with this new .war file and subsequent folders. Our question is: Are there hard-coded elements that we would need to look out for and change to ensure all functions/elements work in FME Flow?

FME Flow v2023.2 fails to overwrite existing version of file previously uploaded

I’ve just upgraded FME Flow to v2023.2 Build 23774. One of my users found that they were not getting any results for a workbench that was working before the upgrade and had been run by others users, including themselves, after the upgrade. In researching this particular case I found that the user was had uploaded a file as an input for the workbench, that was the same as an existing uploaded file, however in this case the naming of the files were the same except that one had the filename in all UPPER case, while the other filename was in a mix of UPPER and LOWER case. Upon running the workbench the user is not made aware that the upload of the file has in fact failed (the original version on Flow is maintained as it was) but sees that the workbench has failed with an error indicating the file could not be located. Has anyone else seen this or can replicate it. It seems like there is a different set of rules in place for uploading files as opposed to reading files. The reading of files

FME Flow HTML report after translation

Hello FME community, I have a workspace that uses the FileCopyWriter to move files from folder a to folder b. After that, FME Flow should show the user an HTML report showing which files were moved and the path. I thought I could use data streaming service for this. But then the files are written to a ZIP file instead of being moved to the correct folder. The HTML-report is in this ZIP file too. So is there a way to achieve my goal or is this impossible? Thanks for any help
