FME Flow

Hello FME Community:When I create a new 'Author' role level user and grant it ability to access the Schedules page, the user is actually able to see the schedules created by all other users including Admin, from repositories that it should not have access to. When I click into one such scheduled task, some fields will be blank (due to no access), and the scheduled task details look 'incomplete'. It appears to be able to click on "Ok" and I'm not sure if that means it'll try to save the Schedule.I think it'd make more sense if a non-Admin user does not see schedules that it does not own, or at least have the ability to differentiate them and definitely not have the ability to click into them by accident. Or, if this is something that can be resolved by better configuration of the roles, please advise. I have been unable to find this in the Security tab.Thanks! Ray

Hello,  FME Server only seems to display a maximum of 100 scheduled tasks. We've got more than 100 defined so some are missing - is there any way to access these in the backend to edit them?  Thanks,  Peter.

I am getting 404 Error when I click on the zipped file in the email, while doing Directory Watch Publisher Tutorial (2016). I am using 2017 FME Server.

I just downloaded the FME Desktop Trial, but I didn't get my trial serial number to license the trial. How can I find it?

Hi All, Are there possibilities to specify a finite timeout for a job? I need to stop a job that is running and is never ended without using admin interface?  Thanks an advance; Farfar

I've heard of The Spatial Community Slack Channel and I know there is an FME YouTube Channel, but are there any other websites (forums, publications, etc.) that you frequent for sponging up FME knowledge or go to for FME help?

You've been asked to install FME Server. First question you ask yourself, what does the IT department want? Is it an Express Installation or is it Distributed or maybe Customized installation. Do I install an Express first and later reconfigure a distributed database? Do I use an FME Server System Share on the network or locally? What are the advantages? Do I need a new user for the FME Services. The questions go on and the options are many, often leading to more questions. There are many ways to install FME Server and we do our best to share the documentation and articles to try to highlight the more popular and supported installation options. Do we cover all your questions? I'm personally curious to learn our user experiences when they are approached to install FME Server in a new environment. Could we make your job easier? Do you have suggestions on how we might present the documentation differently to help you make the best decisions for the installation d

As we have FME server deployed externally, I have to make a trade off to either upgrade or skip a version.Big changes I found were: - GUI (less clicks) - Projects (export/import for better DTAP) - Security (AD)Do I miss any important changes, besides the upgraded FME Desktop functionality? (readers / writers / transformers)With these changes I tend to skip a version as nothing comes for free, please don't be offended dear Safers. I am very happy with the functionality in the 2016.1 package. As a technician I would love to upgrade but you know how it works...

Hi Folks, I have tried - without success to use Notification in FME Server (version 2015.1.3, customer's one) I have used IMAP protocol, following Safe documentation :) as follows : I begin with creation of a topic (see attached image1)Testing it, it’s ok. Then creating a publication named “IMAP Email” with these parameters : (see attached images 2 and 3)Then I monitor the topic, send an email to the address , but nothing is detected …I activate on my gmail account the IMAP protocol too …Control that the port 7078 is open …. I have (of course) the same problem with subscription (in fact, my emails are never detected by FME Server) I need to show this part of the configuration on the next training in the 19 and 20/9, so don’t know what to do . do you have any idea about it ? regards Pascal Mortz1Spatial Lyon, Francepascal.mortz@1spatial.com

I have the following situation, using FME Server 2017:I created an Email publication (IMAP) to check for new emails.Based on the subject line I want to trigger a Topic, triggering a subscription to run a workspace.How can I trigger different topics for different Subject lines in the Email?I tried replicating the publication, but FME does not allow multiple publications to the same email account (with different Subject line filters).Anybody any ideas or experience with this?Any help is appreciated.Erik

Hi ,We want to upgrade FME server but are still using SQL 2008 R2 SP4

I want to install a newer version of fme but windows 7 does not have fme in it's list of installed programs. I can however run the program from the task bar so it is installed ok. Is there an unistall utility from SAFE? How can I uninstall fme otherwise?

I have a FME Server 2017.0 - Build 17259 - win64 and I was wondering if it's possible to have a 32 bit engine (2016 v1.2.1: we need it because the APIC plugin is not working with 2017 version) working together with a 64 bit engine (installer with the server). If it's possible, how can we manage to license all that?Thanks for your help!

Does anyone have recommendations on training or white papers that go over the requirements and best practices for FME Server architecture? Looks like the training classes are geared towards building workspaces.

I am wondering whether my 64-bit license server will deliver licenses to 32-bit machines.

Hello, I have a script that is creating an email notification via FMEServerEmailGeneration. I am feeding that to a topic through the FmeServerNotifier. Works perfectly fine. I have monitored the topic and the notification comes up. I set up an email Subscription using the following information: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1455/configure-fme-server-services-to-use-gmail-1.html I keep getting this error when I try to save the subscription. I have checked if firewall was blocking port 465. No problem thereFunny thing is. This worked once. I was able to save the subscription. I tested it out by running the first workspace and an email was sent correctly. I opened the subscription up and made a change to the subject line only. Ever since then, it stopped saving. And no email is being sent. Can anyone shed light on this temperamental issue? Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

Hello,We want to transfer the license server to a new one.Now FME 2104 2015 and 2017 are working fine but the FME 2016 have an license issue.What could be the problem ??Greetings Arie Buijs

Hi,I am using FME Server 2015, is it possible, while logging in as admin, to schedule a task to be run under specific FME server user?

I've configured FME Server for HTTPS/SSL following the documentation. I've successfully imported my certificates, configured the web.xml, server.xml and config.xml and there are no errors in the Tomcat log files after restarting.  Whenever I try to go to FME Server home page I get "Error SSL version or cipher mismatch" The ciphers and protocols listed in server.xml do match what my browsers support (Chrome and IE) after testing on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

How can upgrade the license of 2015 FME Server to FME server 2016. In FME server 2016 there is no licensing assistant to use the license from floating server.

We are running FME Server (2015.1.0.2 - Build 15482 - win32). Engines and licenses seem to work properly, jobs can be started and are processed by FME Server. Since we want to downsize the number of engines used, we try to follow procedure as described under "FME Server Web User Interface > Using the Interface > Configuring the Number of FME Engines to Start" which states: "Change the Engine Count field to the desired number of engines, and click Change Number of Engines"However, when we log in using an account that has superuser privilege, the list of Available Engines is there and shows 2 engines, but there is no "Engine Count" field nor "Change Number of Engines" button. Any ideas how to fix this?
