FME Flow

HiWe have a problem running scheduled tasks when we activate AD-authentication on our FME Server 2015. We get the following message in the log:MEServerJobSubmitter(ServerJobSubmissionFactory): Could not initialize connection to server "localhost". FME Server error: `Authentication failed: Failed to bind to Active Directory with the given username and password.'Anyone got this to work ?Kind regardsGuha,Stockholm Water

Hi,I'm looking at ways of assessing capacity of our fme server instance(s), and as well as regular things like cpu/ram capacity on the server I'm interested in the application specific metrics.In particular does anyone have a workbench/tool that will query an FME server 2015 repository and report the max number of engines running in a defined time period, lets say hourly. (I'm interested in the concurrency of engines, so I can reduce the chance of queuing, particuarly when I have active time dependant jobs.)If any one has any other stat gathering workbenches, I'd be interested in them too. I have some that query the repository and work out some stats per workbench, avg/max run times, success/fail counts that sort of stuff.Thanks in advance,Nick

Hello! I'm using HTTPCaller and FME Server's REST API to get a job timestamp (timeQueued), when it was sent to a queue. It's working well, but the timestamp should be converted to UTC. Currently local time in Finland is +3h from UTC, and due to the daylight saving, it goes to +2h in the fall. The job should be run automatically, so that I wouldn't need to put a offset parameter to the local time, which comes from REST API. Easiest solution would be that the timeQueued would come in UTC. Is it possible to configure that in FME Server?

Does anyone have experience configuring FMEServer Email Notifications using Microsoft Exchange. What do I need to configure on the Exchange server to enable this. I am getting the error message below,IMAP settings are already enabled for this account, but I am getting this message when trying to validate. The logfile shows the detail belowTue-09-Aug-2016 03:54:00 PM INFORM IncomingEmailWatcher 809006 : : Connecting to email server "***********" on port 25 ...Tue-09-Aug-2016 03:54:00 PM WARN IncomingEmailWatcher 809009 : : : Failed to connect to email server.

Hi, It would be great if we could establish that the FME Server system is stable and healthy using a SCOM Management Pack.We are maintaining our servers, running critical systems, using Microsoft SCOM. For this, critical applications usually provide a SCOM, Management Packs (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212794(v=sc.12).aspx) to support this kind of maintainance. These management packs include the "business logic" for the monitoring of the various monitoring areas. Many default Management Packs are supplied by Microsoft and 3rd party vendors, that can be used directly in SCOM. Is it a good idea to develop such a SCOM management pack Question for FME Server? At the moment we consider building a custom setup that uses Windows Eventlog (which can be monitored by SCOM). For critical FME Workspaces that works OK since they can trigger a notification that results in writing a Windows Event. Trouble with that solution is that, for user jobs, we can not be sure th

Hi,I've used the httpfetcher in my 2014 WB, and it had proxy setting, and the script worked perfectly through the proxy.When i upgraded it with the new htppcaller in 2016.1, that option has disappeared and script no longer working.We have a few of these, and none seems to workplease suggest a way with proxy (don't want to use the fme option, because it is not a good way of implementing proxy)I think FME should be more proxy aware Rudy

Am I missing something really obvious? I have a very long list of of jobs on the jobs page. Most of them are jobs that run every 5 minutes on a time schedule. I also have jobs that run as the result of a directory watch. I want to find the last time this workspace was run or even just display those jobs that are spawned from this workspace. I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment. This must be easy to do?

Hi,  I tried the method explained here (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/678/create-a-custom-download-link-for-results-from-dat.html) in order to create a custom download link but it doesn't work.I put in attached my config file. Does someone has an idea where I am wrong?  Thanks in advance!

When working through the Directory Watch Tutorial on Server 2015 located on a Win 2012 server, Step 3: "Verify the directory watch publication" fails to return messages to the monitoring page when a new file is copied into the Temp\\convert_tool\\Input resource folder.

Hi folks,I'm using FME Server 2016 here. Basically, my main workspace is published on FME Server with a jobsubmitter service and a notification on job completion. I ask to post to topics on Failure (and I check a topic that I already created in FME Server). This topic triggers a subscriber which is another workspace that sends an email. I want to know how do I manage the parameters that can be passed to the second workspace when the first workspace has failed? For example, the first workspace contains the user email to which we want to send the email in the second workspace. How do I pass it? It seems obvious when the topic is set on Success but not on failure.Here is what the JSON string automatically passed on failure between both workspace looks like:[ { "workspace": "aaaaaa.fmw", "timeRequested": "Tue-05-Jul-2016 04:11:39 PM", "requestKeyword": "JOB_SUBMITTER_SERVICE", "timeStarted": "Tue-05-

Where is the End of Support life (roadmap) information posted - We are running FME Server 2014 SP2

If I do a silent (command-line) installation of FME would it be possible to set the shared resource folder as well? I don't see a flag for it in the documentation. Same question applies to some of the other FME options (database connections file, network proxy settings). If those could be set during a silent install it would make it easier for IT staff to run them more frequently.

HiWe are attempting to activate a trail licence of FME Server 2016.1. The following happens:Is there a url/port that we might be blocking to activate this?Thanks

FME Server Vs. 2015

Hi all, We have been trying to send notification via email (directly or through a subscription) and although we have tested connectivity with telnet to gmail (via telnet smtp.gmail.com 465) and it works ok, when we submit a job with email subscription to a gmail account, we review the log and see the following error:"javax.mail.MessagingException:Exception reading response";java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out"Has any body had the same problem? Is there a solution?Thanks in advance.

Small detail, but still annoying: in the PDF-version of the Advanced FME-course you'll find a table of contents that refers to paragraphs. However on the main pages you'll find the page numbers but no paragraphs

What options are there available for have a Test instance of FME running in a Test environment that replicates production?

We have the need to determine OS on which FME destop session is running, such as Windows or Linux/Mac. For lack of an elegant solution, we get the application path from FME_HOME / FME_HOME_UNIX to make the "assumption". I would appreciate if someone can share better alternatives.

How can i edit the default layout from " run a workspace" so i can let the user run the workspace from its own without giving him the option to view other repo's and workspaces .The "html form" method that we had available in server 2015 did help with this a bit. I am a supporter of "Self Service" so the user can run his workspace on his command and he doesn't have to ask me every time. i would love to hear your thoughts on this.

For the new FME Server 2016.1, is there a way to automate the licensing/uploading of a license file at installation time? Scenario (Windows 2012 R2 DC):Installing FME Server via silent installation still means that you have to login to FMEServer to setup the licensing. Is there a way to do this at installation time by either supplying an option or by placing a license file somewhere on the file system(restart of fme services required)?How does the licensing work if you have the possibility of trashing your environment and rebuilding regularly? Do we need to revoke the license or can we just re-use the license over again?Thanks,Dan.

If I have X number of jobs queued in FME Server (e.g. maybe there is a licensing error, or engines crashed), when I restart FME Server will all the jobs still be in the queue so that I can successfully process them?
