FME Flow

I upgraded from v2015 to v2016 today, and I have noticed that a user parameter that is derived from another user parameter is not upgraded properly.In the attached Workspace, I am creating a SiteName parameter based on the input filename. And I also create a SiteNameGDB parameter for the output filename, based on the SiteName parameter. Unfortunately, when opening this workspace - which worked fine in v2015.0 - in v2016, it has replaced the expression $(SiteNameGDB) with the literal string "__SiteNameGDB_"Is this a bug?

I was just curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on an issue that has now popped up after switching everything to smtp.(company name).com yesterday under Manage --> Notifications --> Subscriptions.We get daily updates from jobs that run overnight, and we were still getting them from smtp.(company name).local. But since changing all of the values yesterday to smtp.(company name).com, we got no messages or updates from FME Server last night. Can anyone shed light on why this might be happening? Can you look at the attachment containing the before and the after settings (SMTP Server is all that was changed) and let me know if we need to change anything else about them to allow the messages from FME Server to come through? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.Tony

My FME floating licence is installed on Windows2008 R2 Standard server. IT would like to upgrade the server to Windows2008 R2 Enterprise version. Would FME licence still works after changing the server to Enterprise version?

Good afternoon. I am running a series of workbenched (FME 2014) and these workbenches typically take 20 minutes to run. They have been running fine until a recent oracle patch and it is now causing my workbenches to hang continually until I cancel them through the FME Server UI. The error is: ResourceManager: Optimizing Memory Usage. Please wait...I would appreciate any ideas, although I have tried the following:Purge logsRestarted FME serverCheck all DB accounts being used

Hello  Before we got the FME server we used a Pyhton script in our FME workbenches to send email notifications to our customers. We sent information like: workbench name, input parameters, error logs, … FME Server has the built in email Notification. By modifying the Email template I was able to send the Job ID, number of written features, time started & time finished, … but wasn't able to send the workbench name. This would be the most important information. Is there a possibility to send the workbench name with the email notification tool?   Thanks for any advice. felix

Is it possible to export the FME Server schedule? I have looked through multiple FME Server folders, but have not found a file with the schedule. Adding such a feature could be beneficial. Thanks.

Is there a way to control which file types directory watch processes? I have a process set up to run xml files triggered through directory watch. Folders containing jpgs are also copied to this directory (I have no control over this). These folders trigger the process then fail. Is there some way to tell directory watch to only process xmls?

I have mapped with the FME Server 2014 SP4 (build 14430 WIN32) a workflow in which registered users can start a job submitter service that calls after completing a topic, which sends an email notification to the project administrator. In this email should be included 3 important informations: 1. Job ID: {id} 2. Username of the user who ran the process (The users are created directly in the FME - no AD) 3. If possible, the selected value of a published parameter "government_district", which is necessary for the execution of the process Do you know a possible way? • i want to use the name of the logged-on user in my email-template of the email subscription, who executed the JobSubmitter service. Is there a parameter to which I have access in the template (similar to job-id {id})? In the documentary unfortunately i can not find anything. • i like to use the value of the published parameter in my email-template of the email subscription? My first idea is to create another pr

I have a workspace that watches a specific folder for csv files to be added to it.The workspace then converts the csv file to a shapefile.If i copy just one csv file into the folder it works perfectly.If i copy more than one csv file then server kicks off an instance of the workspace for each csv file added but it reads in the first csv file in the folder to every instance ignoring the rest of the csv files in the folder.Also if the folder already has a csv file in the folder and a second is added, server will kick of the workspace and run it using the csv file that was originally in the folder and not the new one.any ideas what i may be doing wrong?@aaronkoning

I am trying to reset my single fixed license using the licensing assistent. I have a new laptop and I would like to use the same serial number. I am trying to activate fme with the same serial number, but I am receiving errors. How do I fix this issue?

I heard the license server for FME 2016 is going to change from FlexLM to Docker. Is that correct? And how is that going to affect plugins running on FlexLM licenses?

Can you publish a 32-bit workspace to a 64-bit FME server

Can I use fme to ping a website and measure the response time?  I want to check the response time / speed of a website and log the results to measure performance.

i am new to FME Server. I have several workspaces that uses the fanout option in the writer. An very basic one is reprojecting coordinates in a excel file. The current workspace takes the input filename (FME_BASENAME) and concatenates CONVERTED_ as a prefix for the new output filename. when I published this to FME Server as data download service, the translation is successful the logs shows no errors, the jobs status show completed successful but I get a failure and no file for download. Also no file in the RequestResults folder. 

DataDownload service zip files are being deleted from the DefaultResults directory before users have downloaded them. How can the file deletion time be configured to allow longer to download the file?

Can we do simultaneous loading while making measurement on land with drone?

I cannot get the Strahler generator to work properly unless I put node points on every source leaf instead of on the single destination node. Surely this is all back to front? I have spent a lot of time validating a simple network topology. 2015.1 build 15483 WIN32

Hi,  Just a simple query to make things easy at the workplace. I am working on Windows7 machine, 8Gb RAM, FME2015 x86  SP1. Sometimes, it takes hours for an FME workbench to run completely. I just want an email notification for the WB completetion(successful or failed) so as to run other process in the queue(internet connection available 24x7). Is that possible with FME.!!? :) Shivam.
