FME Flow

Hi.I'm working with directory watch and facing some issues. Sometime the trigger fires the workspace properly (once) and sometime it fires it several times (more than ten) in a second. Not clear to me what's happening. The workspace simply runs a sql command and (exiting python procedure) sends an email.Thanks for supportRoberto

I'm trying to set ORACLE_HOME for FME Server on Linux, but the FME Engine is not seeing it. I fetch it and print it in a workspace, but it's set to a value I definitely didn't set:/opt2/oracle8i/app/oracle/product/8.1.6How can I set ORACLE_HOME for the FME Engine?

How do I set the engines to use a proxy that isn't a system wide proxy?

How would this be done?

Just getting started with server so excuse me if I'm asking something obvious...IT installed server for us in a Test and a Production environment. Now I want to create a subscription in Production but the list with protocols is empty... In Test we have a complete list. I have a hard time how to figure out to edit this list. Can someone give me a hint in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

How does licensing of an active/passive FME Server setup work?Is it correct that if you do a high available FME server install with a fail over node (active passive) and I have a license with 2 engines that I have to divide those two engines over the two nodes. Meaning my active node will have 1 engine and my passive node will have 1 engine? Or will they both have 2 engines? What happens if I have a license with 3 engines? Can I give 2 engines to the active node and 1 to the passive node?

I installed FME on Mac. FME starts but when i try to add a reader, I get this type of error message: "File /Library/FME/2016.0/metafile/NULL.fmf could not be opened". I checked the filesystem and the file is on the filesystem but the filename is lowercase. When I change it to Uppercase (NULL.fmf), I don't get this message anymore but I get another error message: "File /Library/FME/2016.0/metafile/GEOJSON.fmf could not be opened". I guess the files should all be in uppercase. Could the installation package be updated?

Hi all,I've just used the Emailer transformer for the first time. And I've run into a curious issue.I've added a local service mail address as BCC to all emails, but when I review the emails in the service inbox, they all seem to have no TO entry. However, some of the external TO adresses I'm sending to responds with an error, so they've obviously gotten an email.Is that caused by the Emailer sending separate mails to TO and BCC (and CC) ?Is this a bug or WAD ?Cheers Lars I

Hi All,I am trying to install FME in my system.

Unable to start the FME server services after the upgrade to 2016.1.2.1

I have a workspace running great on FME Desktop. When I run it from FME Server, it doesn't work. What gives?

I have a directory watch publication which notifies a topic which in turn notifies a subscription which runs a workspace. From a user standpoint, the workspace runs when a file is dropped into the directory being watched. I would like FME Server to notify me when the workspace fails in any way, not just under a specific condition(s). I can force the workspace to fail (by dropping the wrong file type in the directory) and can see it failed in the list of jobs. Can I utilize that somehow? Or should I use Notification Message Mapping in the subscription settings? The help for Notification Message Mapping is vague to me; I don't understand the specifics. Anyway, if someone could suggest a solution to email me when the workspace fails I would appreciate it. (FME Server 2016.1.0.1 Build 16494, Win32)

What is the location of the license files created by FME Desktop Licensing Assistant? And how can I ensure that users without Admin privileges will not have to run this application too?Keywords: mac license location fixed licence location

I'm quite new to the docker and docker cloud. It would be really useful if you could provide a standard stack file for the docker cloud enviroment. It should be quite similar to the compose file:http://downloads.safe.com.s3.amazonaws.com/fme/beta/docker-compose.ymlStack file definition of docker cloud:https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/apps/stack-yaml-reference/

I have a scheduled script in FME Server that has to run every half hour during week days. However, I have to schedule it to run every half hour for 24 hours a day for every day in FME Server 2015, so that it runs at night and on weekends when it doesn't have to. Are there any plans to improve the granularity of the schedule in a future FME Server version?

Hi,I'm faced with sending circa 10000 emails to clients from FME. That's one email per user per feature.There are only some 10 mail receivers, the huge number comes from sending them each many notifications.If I want to gather all notifications into a single email per receiver, what is the best/easiest way to achieve that ?I can aggregate the individual notification content into a list per receiver, but where to go from there ?Cheers Lars I

Hi,Yesterday, I manually started a long running task (at 09 AM), and let it run thru the night.This morning it crashed with a Win32 error.What made me wonder was, that when I looking into the job's log, the process crashed almost exactly after 24 hours to the minute. This made me wonder whether it experienced some sort of 24 hour timeout ?The log contained information about what it was doing when it crashed, so I setup a small workspace to test that. It worked without hickups.My main workspace contains a looping custom transformer if that makes a difference. But I've previously had it running perfectly with other data sets.Has anyone experienced something similar ? Or is this just a very strange coincidence ?Cheers Lars I

Oh, no! The lights have gone out! The data center is on fire! Execute the Disaster Recovery procedure right now!! ...But how do we handle all things FME?  This is an opportunity to share your FME experiences while setting up your Disaster Recovery environment! What are some of your best practices and gotchas that you can share with the FME Community?  How do you handle all the IP address changes? What if your clients connect to servers via hostnames?  (FME Desktop) How do you handle switching (floating) license servers? What if clients are unable to access the FME Desktop Licensing Assistant?  (FME Server) How do you ensure that all your workspaces and source data are available in the new environment?

Afternoon All, i have read the documentation on 64bit FME vs 32 bit FME but am still a bit lost... I have a complex 32bit fme workspace in 32bit 2015 FME on windows 10 64bit. Its reading ESRI API file geodatabase data and writing ESRI API file geodatabase data and failing because of insufficient memory issues....My 64bit PC (windows 10) has 64gigs of RAMM and obviously the 32bit FME is only addressing 3 gigs of this. Am i likely to find my workbech will work (get past the insufficient memory issues) if i run it on FME 2015 64 bit rather than FME 2015 32 bit.  Thanks Steve

I have a publication that monitors a folder for new files that are created.I also have a working workspace that takes any number of files from a network location and uploads them where I they need to go. When trying to set up a subscription I get the following errorI have been able to run the workspace on its own however it fails when initiated by the topic.I can see the SourceDataset_PATH parameter is missing from the log but.Published Parameters Parameter Value SourceDataset_PATH FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM)temp/subscriptions/277a9c3190634de39102c05756666082.json FME_TOPICDatasetWatchstatusMessageParameter 'SourceDataset_PATH' must be given a value. Any ideas?

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a workspace that should fire every time a file is added to a folder. I came across the reader format "Directory Watch Reader", but so for I have been unable to find any documentation about how to use this reader type. If this is covered in the documentation anywhere, or in an article here at knowledge.safe.com, I'd be grateful for a link.

As the title says, I'd like FME to look at the floating license of another software, read into who is using a license and then send those users an email asking them weather they need to be using a license/politely telling them to give me their license!Thanks,

Hello,The window named "Transformer Gallery" is very big. How to how to reduce the size and move it at the bottom of the screen

Hi all,I do have a question about how FME and S3 interact each other. Im working with big amount of data that will likely increase very fast (terabytes). In my way to test how could we efficiently store the data and later work it with FME Im doing some tests basic tests with S3 from amazon. My point is that I can store those terabytes in Amazon but when I try to work with them with S3objectlister and S3downloader I found that you need to really download data to process it so all in all you will need to have extra storage in your server or desktop. So for example if I want to work with 5 gb of cloud data that I have stored in S3 I need first download this on local and then work normally on FME? I have not found a way to connect S3downloader directly to feature reader so I dont need to download all the data and process on the fly: Not sure if I explained correctly or not, or if Im missing somehting in the FME documentation that could do in other way...
