Can SystemCaller be used to open a file within a FME Server Workspace App??

Hello FME community, here’s an outline of what I’m trying to accomplish:The fmw is included as a FME Server Workspace App (Server version 2021.2.5, Build 21816 - Linux). The fmw searches for features within a specified area (drawn by the user in the map) and if features intersect the drawn area, they are bundled into a FeatureWriter and provided to the user via a DataStreaming service. This works great when features are intersected.When features are not intersected, a NoFeaturesTester (stored in the same Repository as the fmw) directs the output to create a HTML file (FeatureWriter_3), created and stored in $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP). This file says something like “No results returned, the are no features of type X.Y,Z in the extent MinX, MaxX, MinY, MaxY...etc).Each time I test the App, the html file is created and populated correctly. Now the bit I don’t know is possible: at the end of the process is a SystemCaller which is attempting to open the HTML file in a new web browser tab (w

Custom Page for Flow Hosted instance is currently unavailable

I have two questions about hosting on the FME Flow Hosted ServiceThe first is, when the Cloud Flow is offline, is it possible to show another page or change the standard offline page? I am trying to save some costs to run the Cloud instance for only certain hours, and it would be nice to give users feedback, which informs them of the times the service is live.The second is,how can I use my own domain for the Flow Cloud Hosting? I would like to change it for pure simplicity and because it avoids confusion to users who don't know what fme is. Is there simple ways to change these two things, any help would appreciated, or links on how to achieve this. RegardsFred

FME Flow Hosted connects to on-premise engines with remote engine service

Hi All,We have FME Flow (and Hosted) 2023.2.I would like to set up a FME Flow Hosted instance. The instance will have engines configured both on Cloud and on-premise. I am not very sure if the FME Flow Hosted instance can connect to the remote on-premise engines through so-called remote engine service. I read a discussion of the topic in this Forum below. It appears to be negative. But the discussion was 9 months ago. Not sure if it is still valid today. As the FME Administrator's Guide states, “Customers of FME Flow Hosted can also connect to Remote Engine Services.” https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/WebUI/Remote-Engine-Services.htm#:~:text=Customers%20of%20FME%20Flow%20Hosted,Flow%20installation%20behind%20a%20firewall.But it is still not very clear and definite. Therefore. can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks-John

Best Job Submitter service mode (sync | async) for submitting many jobs in a row?

We have 2 job submitter services to validate the data they’re sent, write files to FME Server/Flow resource directory, write data to an Oracle database and send a response of the data validation and writing via an HTTPCaller.As far as I know some users use some automated mechanism to submit a high number of jobs in a row to any of these services, which are called asynchronously.At some point someone suggested to call these services synchronously instead, but we are unsure about what is the best service mode (sync vs async) for this scenario. Any idea? I’ve searched in FME Server/Flow documentation to no avail.

Reading multiple files from multiple zipfiles

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm setting up a self-serve workflow where the end-user will have to upload some files and then run them through a validation and processing workspace. The files that are needed are 1 mid/mif and 5 csv's with different schema's. To make things easier I want the user to zip them all up and upload them as a single file. I'm using a File user parameter then point that to a Generic reader which reads [somethingsomething].zip\\*.* and then use wildcards to match them to the specific feature types. This works fine if a single zip file is processed. However... this data is grouped by region and the customer indicated that sometimes they need multiple regions. Plus... features from two adjacent regions may actually geographically coincide, so the processing workspace needs to have them both at the same time. I set up the File parameter to handle multiple files as input, split the value and then run them through a FeatureReader. That's where the i

All 10 engines not available for a shared FME flow 2023.1 database

I have a issue in which your urgent help is required. I have a shared FME flow 2023.1 database which is accessed via two nodes. Both nodes have 5 engines each.When I check from fme flow url I can see all 10 engines ( 5 from each node) available. But if jobs are fired then only 5 engines become available and 5 always show idle.Please help to resolve this issue as it is stopping us from upgrading to latest FME flow.

Is FME 2023 released yet?

Hey, so I'm looking at the download page here https://engage.safe.com/support/downloads/#official And I'm seeing tabs with "FME 2022.2" and "FME 2023.0" and "Past Versions". Is it fair to assume that FME 2023 is still in Beta? I think this page is pretty confusing now. I'm pretty sure this used to have a Beta section. Anyone visiting this page who wasn't familiar might just download FME2023 thinking it's ready for production... Checking the FME Cloud console I can see that FME 2023 is still listed as Beta anyone at Safe wanna fix the webpage? @andreaatsafe @nampreetatsafe @mark2atsafe

What version of Python is in FME Flow Hosted 2023.1.1?

I had an FME Cloud 2022.2 instance where I had uploaded a Python module and its dependencies to the python38 directory as that was the version of Python I had on local machine running FME Desktop. Everything worked as expected. When I replaced the instance with an FME Flow Hosed 2023.1.1 instance, the workspaces using the module continued working normally. However, I wanted to upgrade the module as I was using a pre-release version. My local machine is now running Python 3.10, so I uploaded the new version of the modules and its dependencies to the python310 directory on the instance and removed the files in python38. I have not been able to get the module to work in the python310. I have both removed and re-added engines and rebooted the instance. If I move the files into the python38 directory, the module is accessible. I noticed that even though the workspaces have Python capability set to 310, the workspace logs on the instance always say they are using Python 3.8. This make

Is there an option to prevent a Job to be automatically restarted after an Instance is restarted?

I would like to prevent a Job to be automatically restarted after an Instance is restarted. In the FME Flow documentation I saw a "Job Recovery" configuration, does this configuration option exist in FME Flow Hosted (Cloud)? Can I set the max number of retries to 0 somewhere in FME Flow Hosted?

"Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions" But only on one engine

I am getting the "Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions", none of the provided examples seems to be applicable as it should be engine agnostic, and I can run it on one of the two availible engines.. It is a simple "Read table from oracle database" -> "Write table to different oracle database" Running on a schedule it chooses Engine1 where I get the following error"FME Server error: `FME Server error: `Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions for connection: ODB . Please see: http://fme.ly/zn8'" It connects to said ODB and then connects to ODB2 and then does nothing. Manual run, it chooses Engine2: Connects and reads from ODB, then writes to ODB2

How to avoid gatway time-out HTTP 504

Hi, I am using an FME Server app in which a theHTTPCaller is used to call on a second FME Server workspace. Here are some of the tags used in the URL (opt_showresult=true&opt_servicemode=sync&opt_responseformat=json)Long translations fail and return a HTTP 504 (HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out) even with the connection timeout lenght and transfer timeout lenght set to 0 Is there a way to avoid these timeouts? I suspect that it has to do with the FME Cloud settings, anybody can shed some light on the subject? Cheers,Itay

Last saturday (23:46) I recieved the first message above. Then, at Sunday (00:01) I received the second one. Should I be worried about that? (So far, I have not received that kind of message again.)

Low code front-end options for displaying FME Cloud Output, focus on graphs and 3D model viewers

Hello everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for a low-code front-end solution to display data transformations from the FME Cloud. The front-end needs to be able to display graphs, as well as linked GLTF and JSON files, with the best-case scenario being the ability to interact with 3D models. I am aware of the option to use Esri, but I am looking for other, more independent and cost-effective technologies. Can anyone recommend any low-code or no-code front-end solutions that would be a good fit for this use case? The FME Server Apps are great and simple to get the user to upload data. But at the moment I have an Html that returns information, with javascript graphs. But this is quite a static approach and I would like to be able to send the data to a databank and then just display the data for the user and let them make simple alterations. I know my around FME, but have very little or no experience with front-end development. I am just curious if there are solutions, without do
