FME Flow

As per this post last year, Salesforce is retiring the SOAP API login().  Any news from FME on when the Salesforce readers and writers will be updated?  

About half a year go we set up a API Token thats being used by an external Web Application which triggers jobs on our FME Flow environment. This worked all fine till we upgraded to 2026.2 this summer.The right's we had set up were:Jobs AccessRecources Access (only to the required resources folder)Run Workspace AccessSince the upgrade to 2026.2 nothing was changed by us in these settings. The web application can still start jobs as needed. But any request of GET /jobs/{id} , /jobs/{id}/result en /jobs/{id}/log gives a 403 error now. The only way i found around it is to give the API Token the Jobs Manage permisson.But this feels wrong to me. If i read the documentation this would give the token access to all users jobs instead of only the ones started through this API Token. I can't find any mention about changes concerning this (only about the Tokens for FME Flow Apps which we are not using). Anybody has any idea what could be the cause here? Am i overlooking something?

Hi,Looking through updating our workflows to accomodate for the new v4 API Endpoints and getting the error message “Content type 'application/octet-stream' not supported” when testing out the new POST /repositories/{repository}/items/upload Is the content-type application/octet-stream no longer supported as part of these API updates and if so any suggestion for the alternate content-type to use when uploading .fmw files Thanks 

Every night we run make backup of the FME FLow (2025.2.2) system configuration. Since a couple of days this results in an error: | An error occurred: Topic SYSTEMEVENT_ERROR_LOG does not exist..No backup is created. When trying to start the backup manually, the result is the same Does anybody have an idea of what may cause this?

I have automations owned by ‘admin’ (superuser).If I come with another user that has full access, stop the automation make changes, save and enable again…. I find the next scheduled run under the Job logs, it is then run under the username that last edited it.this can lead to issues if the dependent components like run workspace > connections etc are also not granted permissions to that userI’m using 2026,1 … was this always the case or does the owner of the automation run the job? Maybe this change in the FME REST api v4 ? 

Hi,I noticed something unexpected today with deployment parameters that I would like to hear others opinion on.The situation at hand is that we have several automations running on FME Flow. In these automations an external action is present to send an email upon success. For the 'Email_To’ parameter of this email action, a deployment parameter is being used.It thus currently looks something like this;And then in an automation it would look like this;Then I had this automation running, and if it gets triggered, the email is send like intended.But now I wanted to remove one recipient of the emails. Therefore, I changed the value of the deployment parameter email_to from 'email_adress_1,email_address_2’ to 'email_adress_1’;Now for the unexpected behaviour. I noticed that after changing the value of the email_to deployment parameter, if I would again manually trigger the (still running) automation, I noticed the email would still be send to both the email adresses, where I expected it to h

Hi there,If we change the URL of our FME instance all the redirect URIs of our OAuth web services will be pointing to the old URL.Is there a way to bulk update them, either through a setting or an API call? Thanks,Marc

I have an automation that runs every 15 minutes on a single engine with a ‘repeat on interval’ schedule trigger. Usually, it takes less than 10 minutes but sometimes it can take more than 15 minutes and once a week on mode overwrite it takes about 25 minutes. If one of the workspaces of the automation is still in progress, is there a way to skip the trigger for the next automation?

I want to create custom UI for a flow app like create button. I want to build some sort of app that gave user more creative UI and good experience whether it is by HTML or CSS.

Hi Folks,Almost weekend and we got a bit of a strange situation. We have a Flow App that is being used by most of our users. They upload a GeoJSON and select if they want Aerial Imagery or Topographic Background. The result is a generated PDF Map.This process works fine for all but one user. When this user uploads a GeoJSON we see in the log the following error:90 2026-8-7 15:44:02 | GEOJSON Reader: The file 'C:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FMEFlow\resources\system\temp\upload\[Projectname]\[Workspacename]\auth-user\[USERNAME]\508a819f-ee99-bb88-9785-82b3a169082e\[GeoJSONname]' does not exist91 2026-8-7 15:44:02 | An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsIf any other user uses the same GeoJSON file the process works fine.We checked the following:User rights are identical The GeoJSON is valid (others can use it fine) We checked the timestamps in the DataUpload log with the Job Log and the file is uploaded before it's read. We checked with the user where it doesnt work if t

Hello!We are using Flow FME 2026.1.2. I would like an overview of when most automations trigger. Unfortunately, there isn't much information about it in the documentation, so I did some research and found this post:I tried it and now I'm experiencing some really strange behaviour. Until today, I could run all the API requests I ever needed and get results. I can even run FMEURL/fmeapiv4/schedules?limit=100&offset. What I can’t run is the solution in the thread:FMEURL/fmeapiv4/schedules?limit=100&offset=0&sourceType=automationAs soon as I add 'sourceType' as a parameter, I get the following result:{"message":"Unauthorized request by user USERNAME due to lack of proper permissions or the object does not exist."} Do I need special privileges to use this parameter? Or is it just bugged? Is there a workaround to achieve my goal of creating an overview of automation schedules? Many thanks in advance for your help.Kind regards, Henning

Hi there,We are updating our connections to ArcGIS Online through FME Flow to use OAuth as much as possible.I have created an OAuth Web Connection and Web Service for each of the ArcGIS Online orgs we want to connect to from Flow.My question is, if we need to connect to one of these orgs with multiple users, do we need a different specific web connection for each user pointing at the same web service?Thanks,Marc

I'd like to retrieve running job details using the API. I use GET /jobs/{id} for this. This works perfectly when I assign ‘all permissions’ to the API-token. But when I try to make the scope more specific by setting the access right to Jobs-->Access, I'm not able to see the job details anymore. What are the minimal rights to make this possible?I also assigned rights to a single repository and resource, but this is not visible on the screnshot. 

I have an FME Flow 2026.1.1 Automation that runs a series of FME Form workspaces. The 1st workspace grabs data from an AGOL Hosted Feature Service. This automation runs every 30 days. But, every time it runs it gives me an AGOL re-authorization error. Then I need to go into the FME Form workspace and sign back into AGOL and republish to FME Flow. What is the best way to keep signed into AGOL for more than 30 days using FME? is there something I need to do in FME Flow, if so, what? I am the admin of our AGOL account. I know I can use a token, but are these good for more than 30 days or just 2 weeks? It would be nice if could stay signed in a year or longer that way the automation would run without the AGOL re-authorization error. 

We are working through the setup of a service user for a project, intended to only be able to create and run its own Data Virtualization APIs and nothing else.  The aim is to avoid excessive permissions. I have been searching for a list of recommended or minimum permissions but have not yet established that, so I’m putting the question out here.We have granted:Create/manage for data virtualization Run jobs Access Resources/DataWe’re looking into other permissions.We’ll work through it but I am definitely thinking that documentation of this would be handy from the Safe point of view to save time, if possible.  Possibly as an addition to https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/36098228739469-Secure-Data-Virtualization-Endpoints-with-Authentication 

Since upgrading from FME Flow 2025.2 to 2026.2, we are seeing a recurring authentication problem with our Workspace Apps. When a user opens or reloads an app, a native browser Basic Authentication popup appears intermittently, roughly every second or third load. Because we use SAML, our users have no local username or password to enter and are forced to click Cancel every time. After cancelling, the app works normally, but the repeated prompt is disruptive for end users.Our setup: FME Flow runs under HTTP behind an IIS reverse proxy (Application Request Routing) that enforces HTTPS. Authentication is handled through SAML with Azure AD as the identity provider using SP initiated login. On IIS, only Anonymous Authentication is enabled while Windows and Basic Authentication are disabled, and the SAML base URL is correctly configured.Using the browser developer tools, I captured the exact request that returns the 401. It is a GET to the Data Upload Service that the app fires in the backgro

Quick question; if I want to use a token to authenticate my Data Virtualization, rather than a FME Flow user, I need to build it myself, correct? (and then do that for all endpoints of course)

Like the title says, whenever I try to publish a workspace with a sharepoint connector webservice to fme flow, I get below message. I have no problem writing to the same repository if I don't have sharepoint connector webservice in my workspace. Moreover I have no problem using the sharepoint connector webservice local on my fme form. Does anyone might have ideas why I get this error when trying to publish the sharepoint connector webservice to fme flow? 

Has anyone tested the workaround described here?Workaround for geometry parameter basemap bug | CommunityIt’s changed the basemap against the workspace, and it shows the changed basemap during app creation but when you go to the app itself it shows the original default basemap.

Hey guys, We are on FME Form and Flow 2026. I have a Form which generates an email, and I have a Flow Automation that using the “Resource or Network Directory (updated) delay” trigger my Form.I am facing an issue. The directory that I am watching will always gets update with three different files, this means, my Flow runs my Form three times and three separate emails gets generated with the same content. I am unable to change the directory where files are located, since the files that get generated are from am older system that I can’t touch. Is there anyway to add a delay to the Flow? or to the Form that stop the system from running three times?  Thanks

Hello everyone,It has now been over a year since we launched the QGIS–FME Form Connector, and the response has been very encouraging — both for the Connector itself and the accompanying algorithm. This month, the free QGIS plugin received a significant upgrade (or rather, a double upgrade): full Qt6 support and compatibility with QGIS 4.x, which naturally go hand in hand.Alongside that work, we have also been developing a similar integration aimed at connecting QGIS directly to FME Flow. In short, the current concept allows users to select a layer in QGIS, send it to FME Flow for processing, and then receive the processed output back in QGIS as a new layer on the map. There is also a “send and forget” option, where a selected layer is sent to FME Flow for processing and then passed along to any downstream workflows in Flow — without expecting data to be returned to QGIS, aside from a success or failure response. The QGIS–FME Flow plugin is still in its experimental stage.We have design

Hi,I have an automation on FME Flow 2025.1.It is triggered by a webhook I have set up and a JSON payload is sent from an external system. The JSON payload can be up to ~20mb. There is a workspace which writes the payload into an SQL table. Payloads over and under 2mb successfully trigger the automation Payloads under 2mb trigger the workspace successfully. Payloads over 2mb do not trigger the workspace - and the payload seems to get lost between the webhook and workspace I’ve found this article which suggests there is a 2mb limit - but my workflow isn’t specifically ‘Data Streaming’: Data Streaming Cannot Submit a POST Body Larger Than 2 MB – FME Support Center“FME Flow Data Streaming has a built-in limitation on the size of text parameters. Text parameters larger than 2 MB are not supported, which means that any content exceeding this limit is automatically removed from the requestAs a result, the job runs without the expected input, leading to empty responses and {} appearing in the

I created a webhook automation in FME Flow (2025.1.3.3). It is a simple layout the webhook and a action to log a message. I connected this webhook in ArcGIS Portal (11.5) under organization → webhooks → Organization webhooks → For /groups -> linked to the webhook API in FME FLOW. This was all pretty simple and easy to do. I am able to trigger the automation successfully by making changes to a group. The trigger is logged in the _ fmeautomations.log.

Hi everyone,I'm planning an FME deployment and would like to know if it's supported or recommended to place a load balancer between the FME Web Application Server and the FME Core + Engine components.My goal is to improve availability and scalability, but I'm unsure whether this architecture is supported or if there are any limitations or configuration requirements.Has anyone implemented this setup successfully? If so:Is it a supported architecture? Are there any best practices or considerations? Would this effect job execution or communication between the Web Application Server and the Core/Engine?Any guidance or recommendations would be appreciated.Thank you!  

I want to find the connection attach to the automation in workspace/workflow. I am using {fme_flow_domain}/fmeapiv4/automations/{id}/components this url but I am not able to get the connection and then I check for the dependencies I got something there and then I check for the repository and workspace, but I don’t get exact answer like what id deployment parameter and connection used.
