Deployment

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!

Hi, We are following this instruction Upgrading In Place, On the Same Machine and failing in the last step. what could be wrong? We are upgrading from FME flow 2023.1 to 2024.2  So what about that file: Migration) File "/temp/tomcat/fde0b0779317417da467e76dec4c9027/restServerRestore.fsconfig" does not exist for shared resource "FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM". 

FME server 2020.2 failing with - "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This 64-bit version of FME requires 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server". There is already ArcGIS pro installed on same machine and the version of ArcGIS Pro is 2.6. Is ArcGIS server required for this?

Hello you all and perhaps especially ​@LizAtSafe Gone through this tutorial here:Using the Geometry Parameter – FME Support CenterAnd this is of great help, just have one question that I cant figure out the answer to and that is if the selection map can be set as “Inline” by default instead of “Pop up”, as in that the users have the little imbedded selection map by default when accessing the tool?With regards,

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.

Where can we find the download for FME Flow and Form version 2024.2.3?I only see versions 2024.2.2 and 2025.0 in the list of available downloads. Thank you

Build info:FME Flow 2024.2.3Build 24825 - linux-x64running in Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS AWS KubernetesI have trouble installing oracle client correctly. We are using FME Flow in AWS Kubernetes with helm.

We make use of parallel processing within FME Flow 2023.1. However we are struggling to de-bug issues that intermittently occur in the worker processes. I can see that, whilst running, each worker process has a log file, stored under the parent job log. However, this is deleted when the worker process closes, even if it fails. This makes it very difficult retrospectively diagnose any issues.In our FME Server 2021 instance, the worker logs are surfaced in the main job log once complete, which is fine, but I can’t identify any setting to control and replicate this behaviour.Does any one know of a config change that I can make, in FME Flow 2023, to retain these worker logs somehow?

FME Flow 2024.1Workspace set up on FME Form with a web connection configured as a user parameter and only allowing one type of supported service. This works on FME Form as expected. Once the workspace is uploaded to FME Flow, any web connection present within Flow can be selected irrespective of what service this is for. Is this expected behaviour?

Why? - what to do?What is the realtion between the SSL certificate and the FME flow Rest API? Where to find information about this?

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.  

We just upgraded our on-prem Flow (from 2023.2 to 2024.2.2) and are now are dead in the water --all scheduled workbenches will not run, but seem to be valid --after restoring from the backup (I even tried reinstalling the successfull backup again, but it failed on the second try).  I then tried re-uploading the workbenches to the new Flow version from the Form workbenches (both old and new versions) but can not access the repositories to save them there to re-schedule them in the new Flow.  Yikes. Help. Please.

This question came up at my office today.   Can I have two FME Flow engines at different versions installed on the same Windows Server?  I’m guessing that the answer is no but I wanted to get official verification on that.

HTML Pages created with FME use an external stylesheet:<html> <head> <title>Report</title> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.5.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> ...... </body></html>This is somewhat of a problem when FME Flow has no access to this location, as HTML pages displayed from FME Flow Apps in that case will show without this stylesheet, thus maiming the layout.Are there alternatives for using this external stylesheet, like placing a copy of it somewhere on the FME Flow machine? Then the <head> of the HTML page could point to this local stylesheet.The stylesheet contains a lot of information, so adding the contents of the stylesheet to the header of the HTML file does not look like a viable option.

Hello and happy 2025!Was speculating on feature types selection possibilities when reading as a single merged feature type with a wildcard on flow.My scenario being that a user will drag and drop a DWG to a Flow tool and then that said tool would read it in and then display all the feature types (layers) that said DWG consists of  in a list. Where the user could then check a box in front of each and every layer they need and afterwards select “Run” to start the main tool (which is a conversion into another file format).Thus the tool not converting all features/layers within a file but only a selected few which are selected like one does for example with the “Feature types to read” option in the FeatureReader.Anyone here done this before that wishes to share?

We are trying to create a read-only user within the FME Form PostgreSQL DB using pgAdmin logged in as the fmeflow user. We are using the out-of-the box PostgreSQL DB which is installed on the core machine. However, we can’t seem to create a new user. Items (such as right-click menus, etc.) are grayed out. Is there documentation somewhere on how to do this? We want to query the FME Flow DB directly. Or is this frowned upon?Version: FME Flow 2024.1.1.0 (Build 24619)Thanks,Mark

Hi everyone,I just noticed in the dockerfile (version 2024.2.1-b24801) line 130 a new engine with the type UTILITY. Does anyone know what this is for? Is it a mandatory component in the architecture?Thanks a lot!

After upgrading FME Flow to 2024.2 some of our workspaces fail with the following error:WARN  |Library 'F:\FMEFlow\Server\fme\plugins/realdwg/REALDWG.dll' was found but could not be loaded. Ensure that all the dependent modules exist for this library WARN  |Could not load module 'F:\FMEFlow\Server\fme\plugins/realdwg/REALDWG.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' WARN  |Could not load module 'F:\FMEFlow\Server\fme\realdwg/REALDWG.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' ERROR |Module 'realdwg/REALDWG' is unavailable for use with this FME editionSeems like RealDWG and AUTOCAD_OD readers/writers do not work anymore. -Is this a known issue/bug?-Is RealDwg not supported anymore? It does work in FME Form 2024.2

Effective August 1, 2025, Legacy products (all editions of FME Desktop and FME Server) will be deprecated and updated to FME Form and FME Flow. Annual Maintenance will be based on the list price of FME Form and FME Flow.https://fme.safe.com/pricing/annual-maintenance/I am interested to know how these updates (upgrades) will be done. Are these updates mandatory and will they be done automatically? If so, is there a risk of any errors?Our company has several Production servers with FME Server v2020.2 installed and we also have old versions of FME Desktop installed.

We got this message: On December 17, 2024, we will release the following updates which will include the fix:• New release builds of 2023.2, 2024.0, 2024.1, 2024.2 and newer• Manual patches for versions 2021.1 through 2024.1.2.1 So I want to install the patch for our 2023.1.2 (build 23641)But where can I download the manual patch for this release?

Hi everyone,after opdating FME Flow from 2024.0.3 to 2024.2.1 I’ve noticed that there is a (new?) “Data collection” optione within the Security Options. We are using FME Flow via docker compose. Is it possible to disable the “Data collection” via a (Docker) environment variable so I don’t have to disable it manually after every update?GreetingsPeter

Has anyone come up with any easily quantifiable methods of testing the performance of the FME Flow user interface?I’ve sat with a stopwatch in the past but it’s a bit of a laborious process. 

Hi,We updated our FME Flow from 2023 to 2024.2.1 yesterday. After that workspaces that have connection to Arcis Online not inside our network are not working. Those that are in our internal network still work.Error message that we have is the same in all workspaces, we tried this also with a workspace that has only a reader and got the same issue. 53 2024-12-17 08:20:02 | Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::Exception 54 2024-12-17 08:20:02 | Python Exception <AttributeError>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'supportQueryStringAuthorization'
