How only search for certain cities in workspace app?

Hello everyone, I created a workspace app that is now used by my colleagues. In my script I have a geom parameter. In the workspace app the user uses the map tthen o populate the value for the geom parameter.My colleagues asked whether it's possible for the search to be limited to a certain area (Netherlands or even Utrecht ) One colleague made a typo and ended up in Latin-America. In order to minimize such mistakes it would be nice to limit the searches to certain areas and I was wondering whether that would be possible.

Using fme pathreader in fme flow apps

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.

Comparison FME Flow silent install properties to FME Server

Hi, we are silent installing FME Flow for the first time. We used to install FME Server using a silent install script, which uses the next installation properties: FMESERVERHOSTNAMEINSTALLDIRFMESERVERSHAREDDATAPGDATAWEBSERVERHOSTNAMESERVLETPORTDATABASEPASSWORD In the new FME Flow silent install instructions, a different set of installation properties is used. I think the properties above compare to COREHOSTNAME (changed)INSTALLDIR (unchanged)FMEFLOWSHAREDDATA (changed)PGDATA (unchanged)EXTERNALHOSTNAME (changed)SERVLETPORT (unchanged)DATABASEPASSWORD (unchanged). My questions: Can this be confirmed? Would it be possible to get a link to the location where this is documented?

FME Flow Error: SDE Database Connection & Resource Path

We are converting a number of GIS-focused Automations in FME Flow 2024.0 to use the new SDE Database Connections instead of the old PATH resource. FME Flow is returning an error when attempting to read the new database connection properties: ‘An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file’ For each of the FME Flow Database Connections, we used an FME Resource, ‘SDE_GISD’, for the path reference for the connection file. We found if we use a UNC path instead of the FME Flow resource it works as expected. Is this a limitation or are we doing something wrong? Connection works as expected on local host, local server host, and with UNC path for the database connection within FME Flow. Just not with using a Resource path in the connection. Error: 315 2024-7-31 11:51:25 | Opening the Esri Geodatabase reader 316 2024-7-31 11:51:25 | An ArcGIS license is already checked out.

FME Flow 2024.2 - Create Project not able to add Resource Path

We migrated from FME Server 2022 to FME Flow 2024 (FME Flow 2024.2.3Build 24825 - win64) and we have imported the 2022 backup successfully. When I now want to create a new project and I want to add a Resource path to the Project, the list of Resources to chose from is empty. I’ve looked at the request and the response contains the list of resource paths at the highest level but this list is not displayed in the UI. Is there a known issue with this release or a config setting that we missed?

Set FilePath for FME_SHAREDRESOURCES_TEMP

Morning all, I’m trying to create a workspace that works both on FME Flow & Form. I’m using the FME_JOB_ID to determine what the workflow is running on. If its FME Form I’m setting the filepath to a shared drive. For Flow I’m trying to set it to the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP folder to produce a data download. If I hard code the parameter in the writer to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)@Value(_FILEPATH) its fine, but I can’t do this as the file will not then post to a shared drive. If I try and set the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP in the workspace to push that to my parameter and add it to the created filepath FME no longer produces the downloaded zip file. I’m setting the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP to the url defined on Flow - which in this case is something like https://-myserverlocation-/fmeserver/resources/browse?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP&name=Temp Is this correct, or should I be using a shorter, relative path? EDIT: Sorry just figured out I don’t need to set this at all! FME Flow just does it

Deployment parameters in Flow 2024.1.1 app not working

A simple workspace created in Workbench 2024.1.1 with three FME Flow deployment parameters - a web connection using Esri ArcGIS Portal (Template), a DB connection to PostgreSQL and a Text deployment parameter - works perfectly in Workbench as well as a manual or scheduled job once published to Flow. An FME Flow app created from that workspace fails trying to access the Web and DB deployment parameters. The Text parameter works fine. The app fails whether or not authentication is required to run the app. The Web and DB connections and the associated deployment parameters have been shared with fmeuser and fmeguest roles with Read access to try to fix the problem - but that did not help. Web connection error: 2025-3-20 14:46:38 | FME Flow error: `FME Flow error: `Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions for connection: WEB_ARCGIS_PORTAL.

The error message in your FME Flow Server job indicates that FME is unable to connect to the File Geodatabase at \\vmbldtstweu001\F$\TestFME\TestCheckout_ERW.gdb.

While running a job on FME Flow 2024 Server, the following error occurred: "Unable to connect to the File Geodatabase located at '\vmbltstweu001\FS\TestFME\TestCheckout_ERW.gdb'. Please verify that the correct file path is specified and that the Geodatabase is not saved in a newer version of ArcGIS than the one installed on the server.

FME Flow unavailable services

I’m trying to publish a new app on FME Flow, but there are no services listed to create the app. If I try open an existing app, it says “You do not have access to the "fmedatastreaming" service.” I’m logged as a admin with all possible rights. If I go to services settings, all seems normal. So Im not able to create any app and practically run any workspace. What could have gone wrong? EDIT:After updating to FME 2024.2.3 the problem stays exactly the same.

FME Server/Flow HTTPCaller Fails with Web Connection but works on Desktop/Form

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!

Best EC2 instance type for FME

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!

Questions about in place upgrade of FME Server 2022 to Flow 2024

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.

Parallel Processing - Worker Logs

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 Web Connection parameters not using Configuration

FME Flow 2024.1 Workspace 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?
