FME Flow

Hi, I’m running into an issue with FME Workbench 2021. When I run the workspace locally, all expected files are generated correctly. The same workspace also works when published to our older FME Server (same version, 2021.0). However, after publishing it to a new FME Server environment (also 2021.0), some of the output files are missing. No errors are reported in the log, but certain files simply don't get written. The log even says they have created the files. Nothing has changed in terms of file paths or logic – they still use dynamic paths (e.g., FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP). The only major change is that we replaced FeatureReader with HTTPCaller to avoid a bug with esri_OID in high availability setups. I’m running the exakt same job but still I get this issue. I’ve already: Verified that the paths are correct Checked resource locations Tried republishing and updating the “download data” edit. Still, the problem remains in the new server setup. What could be causing this?

Hi, I’m trying to downoad FME Flow 2024.2.5 package for Linux Debian 11, but the link is broken: https://downloads.safe.com/fme/2024/deb_11/fme-flow-2024.2.5-b24832-linux-x64~debian.11.run Maybe a Safer can check this issue. Thanks!

I followed the advices in the troubleshooting from ​@lizsanderson21 to setup a custom Python interpreter in FME Flow under Windows. I did so because I needed to install pandas in a version that requires numpy to be more recent than the one that comes with FME. So far I thought all went fine, but when I call numpy.__version__ from within a PythonCreator then the version number returned is 1.26.2. When I use pip.exe list from within my custom Python installation folder then the numpy version returned is 2.2.6 → matching the version number from when I installed numpy through pip.I also installed pandas and SQLAlchemy through pip and the version numbers returned from the PythonCreator do match the version numbers pip.exe list returns. I wonder why numpy seems not to be used from the custom Python installation but rather from a fall back version that comes with FME Flow. Did I forget some step? I installed Python 3.12 on the FME Flow machine I ran the following three commands with the paths

Hi there, I have an FME Flow automation set up triggered by a survey123 submission. When i submit a survey from survey123 on my computer it works fine and runs the automation. When submitting from my mobile device however nothing comes through, the automation doesn’t run. Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.

So in one of the tutorial for creating AR, the screenshot of FME Flow has the Create AR App option in Flow Apps. But I opened my FME Flow 2025.02 version, it only appears these options without Create AR App: Is anyone having the same issue? Is there anything I did wrong? Thank you so much for the help.

Hello everyone, I have some experience with Workspace apps, but not as much with Automation apps. In my previous work with Workspace apps, I created an app that is based on user input on a map. When a user clicks on the Run button, the "Running..." button appears. Once the script finishes successfully, the user can download a ZIP file by clicking on the Datadownload URL. Now, I’m trying to build something similar using an Automation app, but I’ve found the process to be quite different. Based on the following post, I’ve set up the following: I have a manual trigger that includes a manual parameter called "Geometry" (GEOM). This GEOM parameter is then used in the subsequent Workspace. Similar to the Workspace app, I want to show a "Running..." button while the script is running, and once it finishes, makes a download URL available to the user. However, the only feedback to the user is the green "Automation Triggered." message. There’s no further feedback for the user, that the script is

Hi All, We have recently ran into an issue with using a SharePoint Multitenant web connection of FME Flow. A connection/client id/client secret has been created in azure and used to creat the mutlitenant connection within FME form and then published up to flow. This connection works the day of but when added to a schedule to run daily, it fails out the next time it runs. When we go back in and authorize the connection again in flow, it seems to work. Is there a particular setting in the connection or azure to keep this connection active? Thanks,

It is common knowledge that Flow has to be on the same server as ESRI ArcGIS Server for all the ESRI toys to function correctly.How does this work with a Remote Engine? If we have 2 servers, one with Flow and the other with ArcGIS Server, can we overcome the licencing issue by installing a remote engine on the ArcGIS Server machine? I see from this article Using FME Flow with Esri ArcGIS Software – FME Support Center that it states“ArcGIS Server must be installed and licensed on the same machine as the FME Flow Engine Service”, but what does this mean in practice…???? The “Flow Engine Service” means the main installation of Flow, rather than Remote Engine, yes? Any help will be warmly appreciated. Regards Stu

Hi All, Does anyone have any experience and examples for calling FME server from a QGIS processing script? I have published some (data download) workspaces in FME server into workspace apps for my end users within the company. They really like this, but they would prefer not to leave QGIS. I would like the script to place the zip file returned bij FME server in a folder and unpack it. Thank you.

Hello, I am a newbie and want to use fmedownload api in our new webpage. what is the best way to integrate security? at the moment I would call the the get token service with user and password to get a temporary token. Then I would use this token and call fmedownload. Is that the best way? Will the token service be available in the future? thanks best regards Gerhard

Hello, Does anyone know how to create triangles between two 3D lines using FME tools? The triangles can also be vertical.

I am creating a PDF report in a PythonCaller and currently I am writing it into a subfolder of FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP. I would like to know where I have to write the file to be able to generate a download link for it.When I use normal writers than I reference the writer in the Download Service… but with a PythonCaller?

Hi everyone. I need to display an outline of GIS data on a basemap that runs in a Flow app. For example, an area shapefile. This is to display the area of operations, as a starting point when using the app, and the users will then select areas within that area to grab other data (addresses and statistics etc). I’ve been working through this: Using the Geometry Parameter – FME Support Center to get a workspace built and published to Flow. But how do I ensure the outline of the area of operations is displayed from the very start? I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Flow apps, so please do not worry about over-explaining anything: I need all the help I can get! Many thanks in advance. Stu

Hi everyone, We are planning an fme upgrade shortly and I want to compile a list of the workspaces, automations and other items we have on our FME Flow instance to help plan for testing, and determining the amount of effort etc we will need to plan for. Is there a way of doing this? Does anyone have a process they can share? Have had a look at using the api interface and http callers and could set something up with this, but hoping someone might have already done this that I could adapt for my systems. Or that there is a simpler native way that i have missed. TIA Jacky

I have several automated jobs that use either a startup or shutdown python script. These scripts run fine in workbench and even in the ESRI Python interpreter on the Flow machine. The issue arises when I run them from Flow. When it gets to the script it will output expected products until the exportToPDF command at which point it fails. No errors are indicated anywhere except in the Engine Log where this is displayed: WARN localhost_Engine2 393562 : Process "localhost_Engine2" ended unexpectedly. Being restarted on attempt 1… Example of script: import arcpy, os, sys, time, shutilfrom datetime import datetime sdpFolder = r"****OBSCURED****"exportFolder = os.path.join(sdpFolder, "SiteDevPlanFiles")date = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")dateFolder = os.path.join(exportFolder, date) archiveFolder = os.path.join(sdpFolder, "_Archive") zipExportFolder = exportFolder + ".zip" # from zipfile import ZipFile# for file in ZipFile(zipExportFolder).namelist(): # archive previous zip destZip = os.path.join

We have an automation that is triggered daily with a CRON expression which runs 4 workspaces. The first 3 workspaces are run in parallel and the fourth runs on successful completion of one of the workspaces. Last night, two events appear to have been triggered at the scheduled time and so each workspace was run twice. Has anyone ever come across anything similar? I can’t see any obvious errors in the logs

Want to create a Session Token with JavaScript and api. What is the way to do it with rest api v3? best regards Gerhard

I accidentally deleted the wrong automation in FME Flow and I am not able to see how I can recover it.

Getting an error with the default (OOTB) schedules/workspaces for : backupConfiguration.fmw JobHistoryStatisticsGathering.fmw Both times it’s an SSL error with the HTTPCallers in those workspaces. Looks to me like they’re calling a URL based on the Windows machine name provided (gathered?) during installation. This was not an upgrade but fresh install so I think this thread about the API version does not apply. It’s definitely calling V3. However, after the initial install, I have switched to HTTPS and added a DNS name with a valid SSL cert. All my services - Data Download, Data Streaming, Job Submitter etc - are working fine with this new name/URL. But the HTTPCaller still uses the FME_SERVER_WEB_URL (FME_SERVER_WEB_URL)/fmerest/v3/migration/backup/download which I think comes from fmeFlowConfig Did I miss a step when setting up HTTPS and should I have switched this entry? If not, is it safe to just put the full DNS name for my FME Server instance in the fmeFlowConfig ? Not a huge iss

Dear All, I am requesting your input on how to automate task on Teams using FME? Excel tracker on TEAMS ON TEAMS : I have day-to-day job task tracker in Excel format. ON MONDAY.COM: The team members go and update data (dates, complete / in progress status, this Monday.com data could be manually downloaded in excel file ACTION / INPUT required : I would like to do fully automate process meaning: FME connect and pick /extract data from MONDAY.com FME apply those transformer to obtain desired statistics (i have complete this part and could do this myself) FME goes back and APPEND the new statistics in Excel file stored on TEAMS. When the task is complete, am email goes to line manager and other stakeholder that the task is completed. Highly obliged with you inputs many thanks /Vim

If an automation is triggered by a schedule, you can obtain the schedule properties via the Schedules list. https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#!/schedules/list If an automation is triggered by a topic, how do you obtain the name(s) of the topic(s) that trigger that automation? If an automation posts to a topic, how do you obtain the name(s) of the topic(s) that automation posts to?

What is the process to access the database on the FME Server just so that we could have a trail of files that users ingested and the outputs that were generated? What are some of the best practices we can implement that can be helpful at the time of audit ?
