Hi,  I'm on FME Desktop 2013 and am trying to use the Socrata Writer. The documentation says that I need to provide a host, username, password, and app token to access the Socrata dataset, but I can't find an input for my app token. Could anyone help me out to find where it's located?

FME Server documentation for Linux x64 does not mention SuSE. Is FME Server supported on the SUSE Enterprise 11 flavour of Linux?

Hi,  I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but just in case some has thought through this before...  Is there a way to get FME Desktop to authenticate internet proxy access without having to get the user to add/maintain their details in the tools>option>network tab?  I'm looking to roll out a new version of FME desktop to 200+ users and am exploring wether their is a way to do this during install rather than asking them to do it manually post install.  (mainly i'd like them to have access to FME store transformers.)  Any ideas welcome.  Nick

I've been playing a little bit with the new writer functionality of FME 2015 and I'm wondering if there's a way to control the attribute type when using the automatic attribute definition instead of just having the default char 200.

Dear FME community,  we are using a total of three FME licenses in our company. These are concurrent network licences. This means that everybody can use the software who has it locally installed and under the condition that a license is available at this time. Since FME is very popular, the licenses are in good use :)  However, we sometimes have the case that somebody has opend FME Workbench or the Inspector, but he or she is not using it and simply forgot to close the program. In this case, the license is blocked unnecessarily.  Is there a way for an administrator or better for every FME user to detect this "idle time"? I don't mean the time when one is working on a workbench. I have seen something of this kind before where one could see which function/factory was used at a specific time. Perhaps this is already implemented.  Additionaly, one shoould be able to free the license in the case when FME is not used for a specific time. Is there a way to do this?  Kind regards

Hi, I need to automate the download of a Shapefile (as a ZIP) from a site which requires authentication. The Shape-reader will read a ZIP directly from a URL, but does not allow for authentication params. I have looked at HTTPFetcher but unsure how I can get this to download the file for me. Anyone?

Hello,  I have a workspace in which depending on certain conditions I am calling another workspace using python shutdown script. This is my script  if DataType == 'ABCD':    wsr.runWithParameters(current_workspace_dir+"/test1.fmw",{"SourceDataset_GENERIC": FME_MacroValues["Input_FileName"]}) else....  If I run this from desktop works fine. but when I publish it to the server. It gives error in processmonitor log as "No FME Floating Licenses are available.  Contact your distributor to purchase additional licenses."  Other workspaces without chainig works fine. Is this something to do with licensing?  Cheers

Dear all,  I have a question to the Transformer ArcSDEGridSnapper: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/What-is-the-ArcSDEGridSnapper  How do I correct configure this transformer. In the Article above there are some picture with values. But they do not match together?  How important are the Parameters Min X, Min Y: Can this value be approximatly fit the values from ArcMap?  My problem is that every feature-class differs slightly, so I need to change the values all the time. Or is there a way to read the values automatically?  Thanks in advance

Dear community,  I'm currently using FME 32bit on WIN64 with 16GB. To obtain better performance, I'm thinking on migrating to 64bit FME.  Can I exchange workspaces that were created on a 64bit FME with my colleagues who use 32bit FME? Is it right that the primary disadvantage of FME 64bit is the missing support for ESRI geodatabases compared to FME 32bit?  I read on an other topic that a parallel installation is possible. Are there any side effects by using 32 and 62 bit together on one machine?  Kind regards Thomas

Is there a way to work with Git on the FME Server to easy rollback to another version? On slide 24 is something mentioned: http://de.slideshare.net/SafeSoftware/implementing-a-simple-web-application-with-fme-server "Allows workspaces to be shared with confidence, placed under source control (e.g. Git), and configured externally"  Or what is a good workflow in context with FME Server to not disturb a productive system and develop/change stuff in the workspaces? Is there a tutorial/best practice paper or video? Or what are your experiences? 

Hi! I'm working on an FME Server based Upload Service, that should give feedback to uploaders via e-mail. This works well if the underlying workspace runs successfully, however, if the workspace fails I'm having problems getting FME Server to communicate with the uploader via e-mail. I need to get FME Server to communicate details of the failure (read: log) etc in an e-mail, not to sysadm, but to the 'user' directly. Subscriptions like 'JobSubmitter_Email_JobFailure' only send e-mail to sysadm on failure. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi there, I have to make some reparations in my client's app. He is still on FME 2013, however I upgraded to FME 2014. The 2014 compilation (of course) doesn't work under FME 2013. I decided to downgrade, but cannot find an istallation package for download. Could anyone help? Thank you in anticipation,  J.

I have a workbench that contains two FMEServerJobSubmitters which run based on an attribute value. When I run the process within server with the attribute vale of 'X' the correct server workspace runs and finishes successfully. When I use the value 'Y' it gives an error that no FME floating licenses are available.  Processes X and Y are identical, they are taking data from SDE and clipping it to output to shape and dwg, just using different data.  When I run the original workspace from the desktop everything runs successfully.  Why would one part of this process give a license error and not the other part?  I don't have any problems with licenses running any other processes.

Hi,  I've just been trying to play with the google engine api, and the FME 2014 reader/writer functionlity.  I'm stuggelling a bit with the oAuth refreash token.  the dialog that FME provides is blank, (white and empty) so I can't use it to generate a token for me, so.  1) can some one debug why my dilog is empty (i suspect proxy issues, i have set my paswords in the tools>options) 2) how can i generate a code to paste in to here outside of FME....  and maybe  3)  ideally this would be for deploying onto server in the end, what ports do I need open to support oAuth and googles spatial engine.  Nick

Hello,  I'm trying to upgrade to FME Server 2014 by producing a backup in FME Workbench. It fails to read the features when I try to include the scheduled tasks. I've previously noticed that in the web console only 100 of our tasks are displayed and we have nearly 500 setup so I think it might be to do with this. Is there a limit and how do I get round it if there is and do the backup?  Thanks,  Peter.
