DateTimes on FME Cloud

I was having some problems with DateTimes on FME Cloud (East Coast cluster) and managed to come up with a solution, but decided to do some reading and checking. I can confirm that my instance is set to Central time, as is my admin account. For some reason, DateTimeNow() returns time in UTC with no offset shown. So my main question: is this by design? It's not the same behavior as in FME Server, so I have to make specific adjustments to workspaces - bummer. I did a quick search and came across a very good and detailed article about the subject by @mark2atsafe​ . Towards the bottom, it states:Timezones and FME Server: I’ve always had problems with timestamps when I’m in one timezone (Central -6:00) but FME is running on a cloud-based server in a another timezone (say Pacific -8:00). Now I don’t have to worry. The DateTimeNow() function lets me specify standard UTC time, so it doesn’t matter where my server is based. I can also ask for local time both with or without timezone. Well, i

ArcGIS Pro Python with FME Cloud?

Is it fair to assume that I won't be able to configure Esri ArcGIS Python with FME Cloud and would have to deploy FME Server instead?

How can I add or reference fonts from an FME Cloud workspace?

I've published a workspace with a TTF file (arial.ttf). I can see the TTF data file in the workspace "files". but when trying to use this font (Arial) in the TextStroker transformer, I get INVALID_PARAMETER_FONT_NAME. What is the correct way to deploy / reference fonts on FME Cloud?

Viewing dashboards outside of FME Server/Cloud admin pages

 Hello, Is it possible to view the html dashboard pages outside of the FME Server admin pages? For example I am intrested in writing a custom dashboard to FME Cloud and would like to share a direct link to it with some users, without requiring them to log in to FME Cloud/Server etc. and dealing with the UI. Is this possible? Thanks.

DWG font folder

Hi There, I am using FME Cloud to translate data into DWG. In the writer settings I provide a folder for the  AutoCAD Shape File Folder, which is used in the translation.However the log file also states:No AutoCAD font folder specified. All Text and Multi-Text entities will use the default font file 'default.shx'I expect the writer to use the shx file specified in the AutoCAD Shape File Folder, why is this not happening?

Writing DWG groups

Hi,I am trying to figure out why a translation that works fine on desktop is not working properly in FME Cloud.I know that writing DWG groups is not possible directly from within FME and therefore I have defined the layer groups in the template file. The job on FME Cloud fails (no errors in log) and even with log debug turned on no meaningful information is returned. Last logfile line:2020-10-16 16:06:28 | Processing AutoCAD File...  Does this have to do with FME Cloud instance? Does anybody have any good/bad experiences writing into DWG groups on FME Cloud? @markatsafe @daleatsafe @daveatsafe

Is there a size limit on the payload of an Http request received by FMEServer/FMECloud?

I have a workspace published on FMECloud which is triggered by http requests from an api. The request contains a geojson geometry defining an area of interest. With larger geometries I receive an error from FME saying the request payload is too large. Can someone tell me the size limit on request payloads and is it possible to configure it to a larger value?

Where to position FME Server, FME Cloud en FME BYOL/Azure on the IAAS, PAAS, SAAS scale?

Hi, we are in the process of considering FME Server in some sort of Cloud solutions. We formed a group to discuss the issue, and ran into the question where FME Server and related implementations 'fits' in the diagram below:Is FME Server Middleware, in which case it would be part of the environment to be delivered by the serviceprovider in case of a PAAS solution? Or is it 'just' an application, in which case one should turn to a SAAS solution to have it delivered by a serviceprovider? And what is the relation with FME Cloud? And the BYOL constructs that are available on Azure or Google? And the 'documents' (workspaces, automations?)that are contained on the FME Server server, how do they fit in? Anyone having any ideas on this?

How can I set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the path to my service account key file in FME Cloud?

I have a workspace that is writing to Google BigQuery and is connecting using the service account key file option. For this to work, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be set to the path of the key file. I have uploaded the file to my FME Cloud instance, but need to know how to set the environment variable.

Temp vs System/Temp FME Cloud

Hi all, I have a question about FME Cloud and the Temp folder.  I have found that the results from the DataDownload and also when data is uploaded to FME Server it goes into the System/Temp resource and not into the Temp resource.  Is there a specific reason for this? I've just been looking at this article and have bumped up my temp space. But when looking and the usage on the FME Cloud console it seems it's never really used.  By contrast the Primary disk is getting used constantly for tasks like writing out DataDownload results and Upload results.  Any thoughts? Should I just reduce my temp again? @gerhardatsafe​ what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance

How to upload/download input and result files from my javascript program to/from my cloud workspace ?

I'm newbie (less than week). I published my workspace to my cloud. My workspace does necessary translation between file formats and coordinate systems. Now I need to upload to this cloud workspace my input file and download from there the result file.  This should be done by my javascript program. How do I set my workspace to be able to get input and send the output from/to my javascript program?How do I, by my javascript program, upload the input file and download the result file, all by my javascript program? I have not yet found neither relevant documentation, nor relevant code examples for my needs as I explained them above. For example, It'll help me If I knew how to do it for the "Easy Translator" example in https://playground.fmeserver.com/demos/ Help will be greatly appreciated. P.S. - importantNow I think maybe Upload File In Session is more suitable to adapt for my needs. If it's right, then I'll appreciate help in adapting it. Michael

New! FME Cloud Orders via Salesforce

You can now find a brief document on the partner portal under the 'Sales' page about processing FME Cloud orders via Salesforce. This document includes some brief scenarios about processing orders when it comes to FME Cloud via Salesforce. Please read through this and get in touch with your Channel Account Manager if you have further questions. Please note that this is an additional option for processing FME Cloud. Processing via credit card sales through the FME Cloud interface remains the same.
