FME Flow

Hi,The last time I tried connecting a floating license from one of the FME license servers from an Amazon EC2 instance, I couldn't connect.Any idea that leads to connecting a floating license from EC2 will be much appreciated. Thanks.

If I hit the Topic Monitoring Tab: The current status says Connecting.After a few seconds the Current Status returned to stopped.The status is never "Started"Any advice to get the Topic Monitoring working?

Hello everybody,unfortunately, all FME apps (workbench, inspector, licensingmng atc.) are not able to open after its start. I tried to start FME on another server to server with floating licence. If I tried to start via FME API, it showed me this message:ERROR 2017-12-15 08:51:54,392 FmeInvokerCore [FmeInvoker] - Error Safe.FMEObjects.FMEOException: FME floating license system failure: cannot connect to license server(-15) ERROR 2017-12-15 08:51:54,392 FmeInvokerCore [FmeInvoker] - FmeErrorNumber:-1If I tried to start FME on licencing server, it runs without problem.I checked also this article https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/543/floating-license-troubleshooting.html, but no advice helped :-(Please, does anybody have any tip, how to solve this problem?Thank You so much!Lubo

Hi there,I try to call an FME POST call using Postman using sample workspace austinDownload.fmw, in Server2017 it works fine, when I test using FME Server2016, it always give me an error:415 Unsupported Media Type(see attached image). Passing parameters I copied from API document. Could you tell me why and how to fix it? Thank you very much.

I have an FME Server workbench that is registered with the data download service, and the download link is correctly included in the success email when ran on-demand. However when scheduled and linked to a default topic (DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS) that the Data Download success email is subscribed too, no download link is contained within the email.What am I missing?

I have downloaded the 'fme-desktop-2017_2017.1.1.1.17652_ubuntu.16.04_amd64.deb' installer and attempted installation but this fails. I have followed the suggestions in the post here:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/33517/fme-on-ubuntu-1604-install.htmlpython3.6.3 is currently installed.but error indicating broken dependencies:-libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libpython3.5 (>= 3.5.0~b1), libqt5xmlpatterns5 (>= 5.0.2), libtcmalloc-minimal4, python3-matplotlib (>= 1.2.0), python3-numpy (>= 1.8.0)suggestion was 'sudo apt --fix-broken install' but this only offers to remove 'fme-desktop-2017Any ideas welcome. It seems the installer is looking for python3.5 so will it only install with 3.5?

We have just upgraded our 2017.0 to 2017.1.1.1 server and restored backup. We previously configured https on this machine. Anyone know if you can reuse the certificate on the same server? I would think that if I pasted the keystone file into the directory and made all the changes to the tomcat xml files it would work? Once I completed the FME Server Application Service would not startup and https isn't working? Any thought?

Basically we have some fmw files that write data, and then we have a second fmw file that loads the job status info into an oracle table for logging. The first fmw, runs and then calls the DataLoadingStatus topic Then the called mw, which populates an Oracle table with job status info from the first fmw runs, it is registered with the notification service with the “Send Notification Data to Reader” populated We are running with engines distributed across a number of different boxes. The process is working correctly for what it is, it is passing the correct path to the second fmw to find the temp file. e:\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\tomcat\\temp\\603774853810044_gpas_status.txt - That file does exist on the core host. The problem is the Engines are distributed, so when the second fmw runs on a distributed engine and goes to read that file, it is looking for that path on the local box’s E drive and not the Core host box, and that file does not exist on the local box, so it errors

I want to find/check my fixed license, or I want to manually install a license file on my machine. Where do fixed licenses live on a Mac?

I want to change the name of a user in FME server? Is this possible. If not, can I create a new user and transfer ownership of items (resources, repositories, topics) to the new user?

Hi there,I can generate Token from FME Server2017 using C#, tested with postman, see attached image, but when I try to use same method from FME Server2016, it gives me error: Both user ID and password need to be specified for viewing/generating token. So what's the correct way to generate Token in FME Server2016.1 using postman or C#. Thank you very much.

HTTPS is becoming a very common configuration tweak after FME Server is installed.Not long ago an idea was posted: Streamline FME Server SSL ConfigurationI'm curious to learn what FME Server admins have experienced when they are configuring FME Server for HTTPS (SSL). This is an attempt to better understand how the instructions, or tools could be improved to make this a better experience. Please visit the idea above and make suggestions or pass along your comments on issues and pains here. For reference here is a link to the HTTPS Configuration Documentation

Hello!I'm new with FME Server (very happy user!) and I was wondering if the Directory Watch can do what I want to do.I want to run a FME workbench each time a file is added to my directory. I want to watch the directory each hour. Can I do that?Second thing, I want to do the opposite. I want to abort a scheduled FME workbench when I detect a particular file into a directory. Can I do that?Thanks a lot.

Hi,I started restore in FME Server UI (Overwrite Existing Items was unchecked), then I immediatelly canceled it. After some time I realised my token is not same. Does restore create new token? Even if the process is canceled? What will happen with token if you run whole restore option?Thank you

I’m attempting to get a workspace containing SQL Server connections to run as a windows scheduled task. It starts up but but errors out like so:Thus far I have: made my database connections public, built a batch file, given the task ‘highest privileges’, set the Start In parameter to the location of the batch and tried my own user account as well as the network admin.The workspace runs just fine from within FME or from the batch. The error only appears when launched from the scheduler.I realise there are several articles about scheduling tasks in the Knowledge Base and I think I've been through all of them but obviously I’m still missing something. Thanks

Hi all,For a SOAP interaction I need to reply in my FME server datastreaming a 202 header.An external company is sending me data via a datastreaming services, but they waiting for a 202 reply. In the workspace I save the data and process it, but I need to reply with a 202 for the external company to know I received the documents. The external company sends a post request to our FMEREST. The reponse page can be blank.My question is, how can I send out a 202 header with server (streaming)services?

I submitted a critical ticket for this, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced engines shutting down and not coming back up for a long time or without manual intervention to reboot the service or FME engine service. We saw the error below 1 time yesterday on our test box engine, and I noticed it on 4 of our 6 production engines this morning after we upgraded.I'm seeing the following error in our engine logs:2017-08-16 10:27:08| 142.5| 0.0|INFORM|Handling FME Engine admin request: FME_ShutdownService2017-08-16 10:27:08| 142.5| 0.0|INFORM|FME Engine is shutting down

I'm doing a custom HTML email with FMEServerEmailGenerator transformer and I'm trying to include an image as an attachment but it is not rendered in the email. How can I fix this?And the html code: <a href="#" target="blank"> <img style="display: block; outline: none; border: none;" src="img-logo.png" width="110" height="73" alt="Logo Compass" title="Logo Compass" /></a>

Hello,I've created a number of workspaces with various transformers in, and I'm trying to figure out a way to run all workspaces in one go in a sequence. Essentially, once one workspace has run through it's transformers, created the desired output and returned a 'Translation was SUCCESSFUL' result, I'd then like this to kick-start the following workspace.Is this possible? I did consider the alternative, which was to bring all the various workspaces together into a single workspace, but due to the incredibly high volume of 'FeatureMergers' this would impact the performance too much if they all ran concurrently. Unless there is a way to trigger a group of transformers once another group has successfully processed?Any guidance will be (as ever) greatly appreciated.Many thanks

We applying FME Server trial licenses for our customer in China. And for the strict network management, we should only use offline mode. And we send the json file to codes@safe.com.Then it will auto return a license file, but this license file can not be actived. We have feed back this problem to safe many times ,but it still exist. This problem will influence our promotion of FME and it will take a long time to get every trial license. Can someone help us to answer and solve the problem?

Hi,I installed FME Desktop 2017.1.1.1 under Linux and have obtained trial license code. It worked within that session. However, after I restarted the computer, FME asked for a license again. On Windows, there is no such issue.Is this something expected? Any workaround?
