FME Flow

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?

Is it possible to setup the directory watch to monitor a network location for new files being added and email an individual anytime a new file is added to the newtwork location

HiI have a WB controller and another WB runner. The controller send some parameters to the runner (defined in the runner as published params.) via FMESJS.However when run on the server, some params are not passed, like the MINX, MIXY, MAXX, MAXY and/or EFFECTIVE_DATE.They are generated as attributes before the jobsubmitter and I can see them OK in data inspector.What might the problem be?Thanks

FME Server 2016.1For an on-demand data download service application with FME Server, I'm looking for a way to configure a download zip file name using a published parameter (requestor can set the value) and the Job ID etc. A possible way I found so far is:Publish the destination dataset parameter of the main workspace as a published user parameter. Create another workspace (say 'submitter') containing an FMEServerJobSubmitter which call the main workspace by passing the required destination zip file path. Run the 'submitter' as a Job Submitter Service.The destination zip file path can be created using the <results-dirpath>, FME_JOB_ID parameter, and a published user parameter of the 'submitter'. The <results-dirpath> is defined in the "fmeEngineConfig.txt" as the "FME_WORKING_DIR" directive. It works as expected, but the <results-dirpath> has to be writte

When I try and run the install msi file to upgrade my existing FME Server to 2016.1, I get this error:'the system cannot open the device or file specified' I have downloaded the install file again but get the same error. I am trying to install on a Windows Server 2008 machine.Any Ideas?

HiI have a controller WB ans 5 runners running on fme server. Controller passes params to runnrs unis FMEServerJobSubmitter. Looing at the servers completed jobs I see 1.4 MILLION finished jobs - all of them runners. This is in the last 24 hours - the very last page is still in the last 24 hours.See the image for info. 1st pagelast pageOnly explainaition I hgave is the server creates a job for every feature processed, rather than for every WB.Why is that?

I recently installed 2016 64-bit FME. I had previously been running 2015 32-bit. I was a bit leery about going to 64-bit as I primarily write out to Esri formats, but after doing quite a bit of research I verified the readers/writers I use will work with 64-bit. That said, 2016 64-bit did work. I tested it on a workflow that pulls data from 16 feature types, writes out 6 feature classes into our SDE environment (72,163 total features), and contains 128 transformers. It took 10 min 19.5 sec, and the peak process memory usage was 1,319,888 kB. The problem is that I also ran it in FME 2015 32-bit and it took 8 min 37.3 sec and the peak process memory usage was 1,095,360. As another test, I installed FME 2016 32-bit. This process took 9 minutes 34.6 seconds and the peak process memory usage was 1,088,980 kB. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the 64-bit version took quite a bit longer to run? Also, why might 2016 be slower than 2015? This really seems counter intuitive. Thank you f

I have found many articles about this issue.But I am looking for the link to download the required DLL's to use FME 64 bits with the SDE writer.And up to now I have not been able to locate the set of DLL's.Can anybody point me to the right download site?ArcGis 10.2.1 is installed.Thanks for any help.Erik Jan

I have a series of workspaces that are part of a web application and are called asynchronously via the REST services with an opt_requesteremail provided.  In the workspaces I create specific messages using attribute information and format them with a variant of the FMEServerEmailGenerator. I then have a text writer registered with the data to post on a success topic.   Note that if used the FMEServerNotifer instead of writing out the text file, and have no success topic published, then I end up with two emails, one custom email from the FMEServerNotifier, and the generic JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS. However, when it comes to failures, I run into a problem. In most cases I am forcing the failure via a terminator. I can generate the emails and use the notifier prior to a terminator. But then I end up with two emails, custom and generic JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE.  I can try to write out the failure message to the

I have a workspace that watches a specific folder for files to be added to it.The workspace then converts the xml file to an ascii file and moves it to a different folder. When I drop the file into the watched folder, it seems like the file isn't getting processed as the file doesn't get moved and the new file doesn't get created.

Hi.I need some support for tender assumptions. Is it possible to install two kind of FME Desktop fixed (node-locked) license (e.g Pro and Smallworld) on single machine and use selected license in batch mode of fme.exe process running? I need to control license usage according to two different custom applications which use fme batch processing.

How can I setup SSL on FME Server with this type of configuration.

If I look at the web interface I receive errors. Error: Error communicating with FME Server. FME Server may not be running. Contact your FME Server administrator who can investigate the log files for further details.Connection refused: connect.Does anyone know what the source of these messages are?

After installation of FME server 2016 the list scheduled tasks is empty. How can I restore the cleanup tasks?

I am moving my license server software to a new server with the same name as the old one. Do I need to deauthorize my license on the old server first? If so how do I do that? I don't see an option in the LMTOOLS UI.

Does FME support version 7.3 of Informix? If not, can I write some python code to bring the data in through a script? What versions of it does it support from?Cheers

 Hi Why do I identify myself every time I use a service hosted by us internally. Although I use AD integration to use FME . Can someone give us instructions how to avoid irritation ?   Regards Ahmed Jama
