Hi FMEers, I'm new to Cloud and have been looking at the Automations section. I feel like what I want to do is really simple, but I'm not sure if it's something I set up in Desktop, automations, notifications (classic) or in the Job Submitter notification area? I have my workspace in the Cloud. I've tested it, and it runs and outputs all my data (although it comes up with a failure message). This is why I want to have an email automatically sent to me when the process gets started via a server app by the end user and when it ends (or fails) along with the log file, so I can check if it has written out everything, but is outputting as a failure. I've attached the log file. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Team, we have deployed fme server 2020.1.3.0 version into the linux machine. It is having python 2.7 version. Currently, one of the workspaces requires python 3.0 support. So, Is there any posibility that I can upgrade to the python 3.0 ?

Hello everyone, I'm using the paramiko and scp python libraries in a pythoncaller to transfer files from my local environment to a remote Linux server. When testing locally I received an import error which I could solve by removing all contents of C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python and reinstalling paramiko and scp. However, when I transferred the contents to the Plugin folder on my FME Server instance, managed by FME Cloud, I received the same import error I previously received on FME Desktop even though the Plugin folder on FME Server was empty to start with. The import error I receive is formatted like this: Python Exception <ImportError>: cannot import name '_bycript' from partially initialized module 'bcrypt' (most likely due to a circular import) (/data/fmeserver/resources/engine/Plugins/Python/bcrypt). The following python code is the source of the import error:i

Hi folks, My FME workspace reads data from Azure Blob Storage. I'd like to run it in FME Cloud, but the account/password credentials do not get published to the server.I am able to replace the SourceDataset user parameter with a custom string containing embedded credentials ("fme://safe.azurestorage....") then run the workspace successfully, but this solution has some maintenance issues (not scalable, and would need to be applied to every workspace). I was hoping that I could create a Web Connection for Azure Blob Storage in FME Cloud, but it looks like I can only create an S3 bucket web resource: I also cannot add a new web connection:  Can anyone help solve this issue?

When publishing a workspace in FME to track version history a 'Commit' link is enabled as part of the publishing procedure. When I attempt to publish a workpace to I am not presented with this link.

Good Day Everyone I am trying to create a directory watcher for a NextCloud folder. Once changes are made, run a workspace and publish results back into the NextCloud folder. So I am attempting to first upload the folder to fme server so that I can create a Directory Watcher to look inside the FME Server Resources folder and go from there. I have managed to get the download url from NextCloud, but I am struggling to conceptualise how to upload the url link as a .zip file to the FME Server Resources / temp folders? I have tried using the "FMEServerResourceConnector", but I either get errors, or it uploads only the url text - and not as a zip file.  Resources I looked at:

Hello, So this is the second time our FMECloud app looses its clickable date selector for user paramterer datefields. When the soultion ran in test I had tom remove the full application, then republish everything. But I won't do the same approch in production, is there a qick way to get my clickable date selectors back?  

So today we did an upgrade from FMECloud 2020 to FMECloud 2022, I was a bit nervous because I was afraid some of the apps would break. Of course there was a reason for my concern,  because I had modified FME 2020 to fit our needs. We like to make nice reports with a structured layout, thats why we use 3rd party libraries. These does not come with an FMECloud instance, so you need to do some tricks to install libraries on it. But how do you install libraries on an instance which is made up from containers, wouldn't they dissapear suddenly? Well, there are some persistent storage on FMECloud which you actually use quite frequently.  I'm talking about the FME_SHARED_RESOURCE  storage. Yup, you can install libraries on this storage. There are 2 ways to achive this, fire up a linux machine with the same os as FME Cloud install a library to a folder, then upload that data to FME SHARED RESOURCES or use the underlying machine to do the task. I choose option 2, I want packages I can

I adapted code of Upload File In Session example to call my workspace in cloud. I get error message: "Authentication failed: Account is disabled"What am I missing?

I have a workspace on FME Server which is initiated by a webhook. There is always an XML that comes with the webhook. The XML is passed into a parameter for the workspace. The workspace parses the XML and processes it into a database. Occasionally, the workspace fails or is aborted. I would like to try to run that workspace again or at the very least extract the XML payload.  When the workspace fails (could be because the XML had an incorrect value or there were network issues), is there any way that I can retrieve the XML? Further, and this is probably more critical, if the workspace has been aborted (perhaps it was accidentally cleared from the queue), can I retrieve the XML? Or reprocess the message somehow?  If I try to resubmit the failed job again , it doesn't seem to have the XML anymore. Or do I have to send the message again from it's source (Maximo)?

In the documentation, i can only get something like :{"balance":0.0,"available_credit":243.67,"estimated_costs":8.99}Is there a way to get as much details as on the dashboard page through the API? If not is there a way to generate a token to call directly the billing dashboard page?

I've uploaded an old FMW workspace for GeoTIF to ECW transformation that was created in FME 2016, but if unchanged it will output the ECW in WGS84, whereas the TIF is GDA2020. How can I update the ECW coordinate system for the output in FME Cloud? 

Hi there, UPDATE 14th Feb 2022: I have now added my workbenches, though not sure how much more insight they will provide - I am wondering if it is the fact that an 'umbrella' process is running and taking a long time and therefore using up a lot of processing? Or if it is simply downloading a lot of zip files and then loading them into the database in a linear fashion that makes it take such a long time.I have also now upgraded my FME Cloud instance to 'Professional' - m5.xlarge, 4 CPUs, 16 GB RAM and 100GB temporary disk space - this did show an initial improvement (see additional graph data 14th Feb), but it is still averaging 00:02:15 per file, so will take 11 days just to download and upload 7,00+ files - this doesn't seem right to me?!Any pointers very gratefully received. And thanks again.  I have an FME Server running on a standard FME Cloud (8 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, 25 GB Temp disk space) I am trying

I have a workbench which is writing out a zip file containing a shapefile using AttributeFileWriter then using a FeatureReader on the resulting zip file. It works fine in FME Desktop 2021 writing to a temp directory. When I run on FMECloud using the Temp resource folder I get an error when reading the zip file. If I download the zip file from the resource folder the file is valid. It's like the file is being held onto by the AttributeFileWriter (or it hasn't finished writing).I don't get the two warnings below in FME Desktop. It seems to imply the files haven't finished being written out.  Is there any way to avoid this unfinished writing, or is there any way to take the binary shapefile zip data and read that directly without writing out to file?It might be possible to break out the workbench into multiple workbenches in the automation. 

Hello. my script in Workbench provides nicely zipped result from FeatureWriter. one excel sheet and one shapefile, named using User Parameter ("someID")  When I publish this to FME Cloud, the structure of resulting zipped is completely mangled, and the user attribute value is not provided to the final file names (SomeID is fallback default value)(picture shows the flat view, each zip is in one of those folders)  Can this be fixed so the result output of Cloud workflow has the same structure as the Workbench result?  if I set the publish parameters in following way, the final zi

I am very new to the FME tool, I downloaded it to change my LAZ files to LAS. I have gone through a few tutorials, and my output is not empty. I have LAS point elevations, but visually it is empty. I have a big reg square, representing the outline of the LAZ tile I downloaded, located in the correct place on earth. There is nothing in the red square. Where do I go from here?

Hello, I want to open a file with the PythonCaller stored on the [FME_SHARERESOURCE_DATA] directory. The python enviroment can access the directory and the script end with an exception:TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType Is it possible to map the FME_SHARED_RESOURCE_DATA Directory in the python script?  Kind regardsStefan

Hi There,I am pretty sure what the answer is, just covering all bases....Normally when running a workspace published to FME Server the workspace parameters are populated via the query parameters and therefore the workspace URL contains the parameters provided. Registrating the workspace to the streaming service and defining the streaming output content, allows to provide the requesting application with the transformation results. Another way to run workspaces on FME Server is via the REST API but this does not return the workspace output to the requesting application, since the streaming service is not used. Now my question is: Is it possible to trigger a published workspace by posting the parameters values in the body and NOT in the URL while using the streaming service to retu

I have FME desktop 2020.1 installed - when I generate dgn file everything looks ok, however when I publish it on cloud accents and diacritics go crazy.My local machine runs on win-1250. FME Cloud / Server run utf-8, is there a way to make this not mess up my texts? I have tried AttributeEncoder with no success.

I am being tasked by my manager to devise a process to move on prem FME to FME cloud. I cannt discover any documentation on this - Can you please direct me further. Regards

I am trying to use ReframeReprojector to transform swiss coordinates within FME Cloud and I get the following error: "ReframeReprojector: Reproject: Could not reproject the geometry of the preceding feature: Dynamic reproject engine `REFRAMEREPROJECT' cannot be found". Is it possible to make the reframeproject available to the FME Cloud engine?

We have a SnakeGridProjector transformer that we would like to use in one of our pipelines. We are wondering if it is possible to use it despite FME advicing against old python versions or if there is any better alternative? The projector is a must for the pipeline

Is it possible ​to use autocomplete in fmecloud?

I tried to find out any example or details about pass criteria shown in "Pass against All base" in Spatial filter but no luck. Can anyone explain how its work ? If example Base is Parcel shape file and candidate is building centroid.  Any help here ? 

I am constantly getting asked to perform extremely simple excel tasks for my co-workers - vlookups, pivot tables, etc. Is it possible to create a workbench where they could just drag and drop their two spreadsheets, select their requestors and suppliers and hit run? I know how to do this in FME Desktop but how can I recreate this on cloud with a super simple user-interface and save myself some time?
