Crawl workspaces on Flow for used connections

Our Flow instance has more web connections than it should.  That’s the result of allowing new connections without peer review.Now, one of our team members is leaving and I’m concerned his workspaces will use connections that won’t transfer.  (We use Entra)Is there a way to find all the connections used in various workspaces (scheduled and on-demand apps).  I don’t see a view for that in the individual workspaces, or I’d step through them all.Other than downloading and opening each workspace (~100), or deleting the connections to see what happens, is there a way?

ArcGIS Online Webhooks - FME Flow Automation

Hopefully someone can offer some advice on using ArcGIS Online hosted feature service webhooks and FME Flow.I have set up webhooks on a test hosted feature service, derived from a survey123 form. When implementing a webhook directly via Survey123, I successfully receive a response in the FME Flow log. However, when implementing a webhook on the feature service, there is no response in the log.I’ve done some checks using https://webhook.site/ and I can see that ArcGIS Online is sending data when using that URL, so it’s not a problem with the feature service webhook, but appears to be an issue with FME Flow.I should add, FME Flow is HTTPS enabled. All feature service settings look to be correct and I have default Admin rights on AGOL.Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Change engine name from ocalhost_ENGINE1 to _ENGINE1

When I installed FME Server, it is asking me for the name of the server which I specified. But when I register the license and the engines are started, they are listed as localhost_ENGINE1. Is there a way to change it the server name? What if I wanted to specify the engines to run with the server name, how do I do that at install?

ArcGIS and Flow Integration / Data downloader & 3D Viewer

Hi All,I have a question regarding the integration of FME Flow with the ArcGIS suite. I am currently developing a 3D viewer platform utilising ArcGIS technologies, such as the 3D viewer, to display LiDAR data in SLPK format. The platform operates smoothly; however, my client has requested the capability to download the data as LAS files based on an 'Area of Interest' (AOI) drawn by the user.I am considering embedding an FME Flow application within an ArcGIS Experience Builder that hosts both the 3D Viewer and the FME Flow application to facilitate the download of LAS files. Is this feasible? Any information or resources to assist in achieving this would be greatly appreciated.Additionally, is it possible to customise the FME Flow map to function as an ArcGIS Webmap (either 2D or 3D) to display the extent of the LiDAR data? My tests have only shown the default map with OpenStreetMap as the background, but I aim to provide users with the extent of the LiDAR data so they are aware of what

Job Error Notification System

Hi guys, I have a doubt, I don’t know if such an option already exists or not, if it does, please guide me to the page.I need to make a notification system within the FME Server to send a live notification to a email if a job fails. Now there are number of methods to do this I believe, and I tried some of them but failed to achieve what I really require. What I need is a live notification system, i.e., it must notify me as soon the job fails. Now this notification message must contain time, workspace name, repository name, and the error message in a clean manner, like for example “Workspace Name : work.fmw”. Here the workspace name and repository name must be there without any fail, the other details I can compromise, but these two information is a must. Now, this notification system must not depend on a workspace, because I know i can create a notification system using FME Flow Notifier within a workspace. But I want the system to be independent of a workspace as it requires the works

FME Engine encountered a Python issue

Hi, We encountered a strange problem regarding python environment when running multiple jobs via jobsubmitters on FME Flow. We recently updated from FME Server 2022 to FME Flow 2024.2.3Build 24825 which is when the automation stopped working. The automation triggers a sequence of master workspaces, which then runs multiple child workspaces. The first master workspace contains a creator, pythonCaller and 2 FMEFlowJobSubmitters in sequence. The rest of the workspace is not important, as the problem is with these first transformers. When running the master workspace, the Flow engine is loaded with python 3.12+ and runs the first pytonCaller and first FMEFlowJobSubmitter without a problem. However, when running the second FMEJobSubmitter, the following error is given: “FME Engine encountered a Python issue. Workspace requiring Python 2.7 is requested to run on an FME Engine configured to use a Python 3.12+ interpreter. FME cannot continue given the Python version mismatch”However, all mast

Using FileCopy Writer to copy single file to multiple subfolders

I have managed to use The Directory and File Pathnames reader, Attribute Manager and File Copy Writer to copy a file from one location to another. How would I be able to copy that same file into multiple subfolders of a single parent folder? I used this method so far.

Automation triggered by FME Flow Schedule initiated twice at the same time

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

How only search for certain cities in workspace app?

Hello everyone,I created a workspace app that is now used by my colleagues. In my script I have a geom parameter. In the workspace app the user uses the map tthen o populate the value for the geom parameter.My colleagues asked whether it's possible for the search to be limited to a certain area (Netherlands or even Utrecht ) One colleague made a typo and ended up in Latin-America. In order to minimize such mistakes it would be nice to limit the searches to certain areas and I was wondering whether that would be possible.

Automation Parameters are Resetting

If you have an existing automation and need to make a change, you make your changes and publish \\ overwrite in FME Forms. Once you go to the automation and stop it, all parameters are reset to defaults. This happens even to workspaces that were not updated. This has happened the last 2 or 3 releases, currently we are onFME Flow 2023.1Build 23619 - win64

Geometry Validator not repairing Self Intersection

I have a routine that extracts property boundaries from a web service and outputs to shp to be imported into our Property and Rating system. I do have a Geometry Validation process to repair geometries where they may self intersect or are corrupted, however there are two polygons that are not repairing, even though they pass the test. Both are like the below. The polygon doesn’t actually cross over itself. Rather, this is two separate vertices where the bottom section meets the top section, and it’s all one polygon. Is there a way to automatically fix these with FME as we can’t edit the original. My workaround is to have the tiniest buffer and dissolve so the vertices don’t touch which passes the validation test in our P&R import, but ideally we should have clean geometries.Any help appreciated. Regards, Josh

FMW fails to run via Scheduled Task when Using Service Account

Hi there,I have a number of FME Workflows on our GIS server that successfully run via scheduled tasks and bat file. However this latest one I have created only runs under my account and not the service account. The difference between this and other workflows is that this one is connecting to web services (Vicmap as a Service). I have made sure the service account has full permissions on any folders it is writing to as well the FME Programs folder. We are currently on FME Workbench 2022 but will soon be upgrading to the latest license structure.Do I need to consider any other permissions when dealing with web services? Regards,Josh

Hi, we are silent installing FME Flow for the first time. We used to install FME Server using a silent install script, which uses the next installation properties:FMESERVERHOSTNAMEINSTALLDIRFMESERVERSHAREDDATAPGDATAWEBSERVERHOSTNAMESERVLETPORTDATABASEPASSWORDIn the new FME Flow silent install instructions, a different set of installation properties is used. I think the properties above compare to COREHOSTNAME (changed)INSTALLDIR (unchanged)FMEFLOWSHAREDDATA (changed)PGDATA (unchanged)EXTERNALHOSTNAME (changed)SERVLETPORT (unchanged)DATABASEPASSWORD (unchanged).My questions:Can this be confirmed?  Would it be possible to get a link to the location where this is documented?

Flow 2024 Parameter assignment, integers not recognized

I am creating an Automations proces and when assigning the parameters to an integer field  get the following message: Must be a whole number. Decimals are not supported.In the Automations first a csv is read for creating all sorts of parametersIn here there are no decimals.In the workspace tm_data has the Type int16In the Automations writer it is also defined as integer.But when assigning the parameters, I receive the error. This applies for all integers I use in this.This is a automations proces that I also build in Server 2021 and I didn't have this issue but in Flow 2024 I can't get any further because of this error.Is there something I do wrong or is this a bug?

I am trying to extract the URL to the download zip that you get when you run the workspace outside the automation from a workspace app or just run on flow itself.The issues im having are:-When the workspace is run within the automation it does not create a zip file in the temp/engineresults like when you run from a workspace app-If i explicitly define temp/engineresults as the output location, it will write either a hardcoded zipfile name (not the autogenerated one) OR if i remove the .zip extension it writes each individual file - which i dont want-I am able to extract out the autogenerated URL from the logfile, however because of the bullet points above there is actually no file being created at that URLI've seen plenty of topics around this URL, but none of them seem to cover my situation, im basically asking what configuration do i need on my writer and then
