Can not see 'Register Service' when publishing workspace to server

My co-worker doesn’t see the popup 'Register Service' whenever they publish a workspace to FME server. I generally see one and the service ‘Job Submitter’ is ticked. Does my co-worker need this to run their workspace on the server?

In the 2024.x versions of FME Flow, will the URL continue to contain ‘fmeserver’ or will it be changed to ‘fmeflow’? Example: https://mydomain/fmeserver vs. https://mydomain/fmeflow If, by default, the URL will continue to have ‘fmeserver’ in it, can we change that in a configuration file?Asking as we may need to run both FME Server 2022.x and FME Flow 2024 in parallel while migrating some legacy 32-bit Esri solutions. Thanks,Mark

How Can FME Admin Share Departed Employees' Workspaces on FME Server?

A few co-workers have left the company and have forgotten to share their workspaces on the FME server with myself and others. Is there a way for the FME admin to share those workspaces that are being used in automation and schedules with us?

Error processing multiple files FME Flow/Form

Hello, I’m building a workflow to process multiple input files. When running from FME Flow some of the files are read correctly from this location: /data/fmeflow/resources/system/temp/upload// but for some of them I’m getting this error: File does not exist: $(FME_DATA_REPOSITORY)/When running from FME Form I’m getting the same error: File does not exist: $(FME_MF_DIR)For some reason this this happens only when more than 21 files are processed (does not matter the size of the file). Do you have any idea how to fix it? Thank you.

Is Microsoft OLE DB Driver required when using PostgreSQL DB as the DB for FME Flow 2023.2?

We have FME Flow 2023.2.1 installed, we have chosen PostgreSQL running in AWS RDS as our database. This has been setup and configured at installation using the silent Windows installation method.We are seeing vulnerabilities on the server FME Flow is installed on relating to Microsoft OLE DB Driver. This seems to have been installed as part of FME Flow. Is the Microsoft OLE DB Driver a required driver if we’re not using SQL Server?If so, can this be removed or do we now need to manage patching of this driver?

Exporting the project is not permitted. This project contains items that don't exist or are inaccessible by you.

I have set up a project in our test environment containing two workspaces in a repository, a workspace app and an automation. Workspaces use a resource\data subfolder. The automation writes data to a database through a database connection. All this is set up with my admin account.When I try to export the project to move to our production environment I get the error: “Exporting the project is not permitted. This project contains items that don't exist or are inaccessible by you.”In the project I have added the automation, connection, repository, resource path and workspace app, 5 items in total. I have verified that the resource\data path is migrateable as per the first note here: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/WebUI/Exporting-Importing-Projects.htmAny tips on why I am not allowed to export? The items defined in the project all exists and as an admin I have access to all items...

Running Workspaces with the connection parameters embedded on FME Flow

We are updating from FME 2022 to 2024. On our Staging-Server FME 2024 has already been installed.I tried to run some of our Workspaces there, but they failed as the connection to the database could not be established.I finally found out, that the problem was, that we are using embedded connection parameters and not database connections, if I use database connections, it works.As we never used database connections, none of our workspaces will run on FME Flow 2024, unless we change to database connections. This means, we have to edit every workspace with a connection to a database, that’s a lot of work…!Do we really have to do this and if so, is there an efficient way to do it?

FME Flow 2023 GDB/GPKG writter with fanout expression not working

Does the fanout expression is available on FME FLOW 2023 ? My FME Workbench works well on FME Server 2020, but on FME Flow, I got an error that mention that I don’t have the permission to write in the specific folder, but I have that permission. For example, the Destination Fanout is $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/temp and the Fanout Expression is /gpkg/test_@Value(attribut).gpkg.zip. I got this error message:MULTI_WRITER: Failed to create folder '/gpkg/test_hello.gpkg.zip'. Please ensure you have sufficient permissions to create this folderIt seems like Destination Fanout is not taken into account.

Differentiating the look and feel of FME Flow for different environments (DTAP)

Hi,Yeah, this was an old wish, to be able to easily see the difference between the FME Flows on the tabs in a browser when multiple FME Flow servers are running, e.g. for development, testing, acceptance and production (DTAP).See also this question: FME FLOW 2023, Is there a way to change the color of the blue ring logo on the browser tab icon? We took it even one step further - see image below Two simple changes: a different color for the icon on the tab and for the bar on the left hand side.to modify the icon you will need to have access to:<FMEFlowDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmeserver\images\favicon-fme-flow.svgThe (one?) good thing about the new FME Flow logo is that it is monochrome, so it is easy to modify favicon-fme-flow.svg (with an SVG editor, for example Inkscape) to set a different color.to modify the color of the sidebar you will have to edit<FMEFlowDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmeserver\styles\safe-software-app.min.cssSearch in this minified CSS file for.si

Emailer Not Sending Full Zip File

I have a process which creates 4 asc files, and then sends them to a zipped file. At the end of this process, this file is to be emailed. I have an attribute creator which creates the file name as ‘attachment’, as it does contain dynamic elements, before using that attribute as the attachment field in the emailer. When i run it on my local computer, it works perfectly fine, and I get an email with all four files zipped. However, when i run it on FME server, the zip file only contains 1 of the four. Regardless if the files have content or not, they should all write to the folder, and then do, i can see in the fmeserver directory, that all 4 files have been zipped up, but when it is emailed, it just seems to delete three of them. The sampler is there so it only sends one email, but the attribute creator refers to the zipped file, which is created in the system caller, so all four should be sent.

SharePoint Issues

Hi Could anyone help please? I have created two connections to Microsoft SharePoint, one for SharePoingOnlineConnector and one for SharePoint List Reader/Writer in FME Form.When i use either after uploading to FME Flow i get this error from Flow when running a published Flow App but it seems to work when running directly from the Flow UI SharepointOnlineConnector: Connection 'xx SharePoint Files' does not exist. Check connection parameter and connection definitions in FME options and try again I have gone into the group settings and granted full control to every user group that can use the Flow App, we are using AD authentication and that appears to be working fine. If anyone can assist i would be very grateful Thanks Adrian

Uninstallation process takes an unusually long time (tested with FME Form and Flow 2023.1.2)

Uninstalling FME Form (and FME Flow) takes an unusually long time. We’re talking about 15+ Minutes on a powerful desktop PC (i9-10900k @ 3,70 GHz, 32GB RAM, fast SSDs). This is somewhat annoying, as there is still no way to update the program “in place”. Tested with FME Form and Flow 2023.1.2 Build 23641. I wonder what could be the reason? Maybe some kind of Windows real-time protection? Changing the Windows security settings is not an option as these are dictated by the IT department. Edit: I’m unable to create this thread in the “General” category (can’t be selected from the drop-down menu). So please move this thread if it doesn't belong here.

How to control FME Flow distributed engines

I have finished a fresh install of FME Flow 2023 with a core machine and a distributed engine machine. The distributed engines show up on the web interface but I can’t control them. I can’t tell it how many of them to start (or stop). What additional configuration do I need to do?

Uploading Google Sheets package to FME Flow

Hi, We’ve recently upgraded our FME Flow install from 2022.2 to 2023.2.1I had a published workspace that used the Google Sheets v4 package. Previously when I published this workspace, the included Google Sheets package uploaded to FME Flow and became available to use in FME Flow. This all seemed to work fine.Since the upgrade to 2023.2.1 I seem to be having trouble getting this to work. When I publish the workspace, using FME Form 2023.2, I get the option to upload the Google Sheets package, and this appears to work fine.But when I run the workspace from FME Flow I keep getting this error:File D:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\metafile\SAFE.GOOGLE-SHEETS.GOOGLESHEETS4.fmf could not be openedIf I look in the Resources>Engine folder I can see that the file safe.google-sheets-3.3.4.fpkg has been copied in here (with the appropriate timestamp when I published the workspace).Is there something else that has to happen to make this package available?ThanksKeith

Return FME SERVER job results to an external webpage

A client has a website that allows for uploading and downloading of data. That’s not the issue here. There is one button on their website that when clicked it lists all of the feature types and their last time an upload was completed. This output is in HTML.At the present time we are now realizing that the results from an FME Workspace, that is sitting on FME Server, properly formats the output in HTML. But here’s the issue … We discovered there was no job set up to run in FME Server which also means it is not set up to do anything related to automation. We have also discovered that the results of that job were just periodically being manually run and then directly uploaded to their website (We are the ones that built the site and maintain it, but none of those individuals who originally did this are with our company today).So, it was just a stagnant picture in time, and totally dependent on someone always remembering to go in every day, week, month, or year (We truly do not know what

engine is not seen

Hi,We have installed the FME Flow on a new server and successfully licensed it. However, I do not see any available engines in FME Flow. I tried to use the old server license, then removed it and installed the new licensed version. I noticed that the workspaces are running. I checked the web connection and found it is connected to the new server, and the host is related to the new server. However, on the deployment status page, the host is related to the old server.I want to ensure that everything is related to the new server and to see the available engineswe use FME FLOW 2023

Can FME Flow process simultaneous jobs for one workflow?

Hello ,I’m wondering if FME Flow can handles multiple simultaneous jobs for a single workflow . For exemple , how does the Easy Translator Demo handle the case where simultaneous translations of CSV files to SHP ( coming from different users ) without their data and their results being overlapped. Is it handled by FME Flow , or handled manually by the developers of this web app?Also in case of only one engine , how does FME Flow process this use case ?
