FME Flow

I have a 2023.2.1 workbench that reads in a JSON file using the TextLine reader, does some FME magic and the outputs the results for FME Server (Flow) to use.2023.2.1 workbench to process JSONThe reader parameters are set to read the whole file at onceThe workbench is published to FME Flow 2023.2.1 and is used in an Automation that gets an AWS SNS message with the JSON info in the message of the SNS. The SNS is received as expected but the message appears to be reading each line as a separate source and as suc

Hello, I am using FME Flow 2021. I have an Automation that uses Directory Watch. When a file is added to the “Directory to Watch,” the Automation should run. But it does not run when a new file is added. I can run it manually, and it works as expected. In my screen capture below, it seems I need to add something to “Events to Watch for” to trigger. What am I missing?  

Hi list.I have a local FME Flow development setup using 2024.2.3Originally all of its 4 services ran as Local System, but the workspaces need to access files on a file share on another server, and so I tried changing the services (except database) to Local Network Service without much success.Our production servers (2022) do run with an AD account, so I have som experience with this approach. I therefore changed the development Flow to run under my AD account.The interface seems to be working ok, but now whenever I try to run a workspace, it errs with “There was an error submitting the job”.Why is this different ? What am I missing here ?Any insight is appriciated.Cheers

Hi all, I am trying to modify a workbench and re-upload it to the server (2020.1 to 2020.1) and am getting back an error that: The following readers or writers are included in an enabled service, but are not present in the workspace: [SourceDataset_JSON]Request to xxx returned status code 422. This has only happened since we updated the server from 2020.0 to 2020.1. The workbench takes incoming JSON from a notification service using a topic and subscription and runs it through the workbench and dumps it into an Esri Portal FS.  This error is odd because there is only one reader and one writer in the service.  If anyone else has seen this problem please let me know. Thanks!-Adrian

This article covers setting up FME Form & Flow Emailer transformers, but doesn't cover the System Email setup in FME Flow.https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407404506253-How-to-Connect-to-Microsoft-Exchange-Online-using-OAuth-2-0-Microsoft-Modern-AuthenticationThat page has much fewer settings available than the transformers:The docs don’t mention how to use Client ID (UI notes this as Microsoft OAuth only)https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flo

We have 3 different FME servers, how can we modify the FLOW UI so that you can easily distinguish one server from the other?

Greetings!I have a simple workbench that runs without issue on Form (v2025.0) that uses a CSV reader that lists File_name, file_url in which the url is a SFTP://hostname:22/path/filename.typ The CSV reader is linked to the FTPCaller.This process works fine on Form (desktop) and loads the files to the respective server and path.However, when the workbench is run from the server, is runs Successful-but does not load the files; in the log there is an error: FTPCaller (FTPFactory): FTP/FTPS/SFTP transfer error: Could not resolve hostname Any suggestions on why?

I am trying to read/write from ArcGIS Portal in FME Flow with a parameterized Web Connection, but am not able to select a connection in FME Flow. I used these steps to set everything up succesfully: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407772142733-How-to-Create-an-ArcGIS-Enterprise-Portal-Web-Connection-OAuth-2-0 ✅ FME Form I created:a webservice named 'Esri ArcGIS Portal MyCompany’ several web connecions: ‘user1 Esri ArcGIS Portal MyCompany’, ‘user2 Esri ArcGIS Portal MyCompany’This works fine in FME Form and I can read from ArcGIS Portal. ✅ FME FlowI published these service, connections and workspace to FME Flow as described, and this runs fine as well.

Hi All,I have a question regarding the integration of FME Flow with the ArcGIS suite. I am currently developing a 3D viewer platform utilising ArcGIS technologies, such as the 3D viewer, to display LiDAR data in SLPK format. The platform operates smoothly; however, my client has requested the capability to download the data as LAS files based on an 'Area of Interest' (AOI) drawn by the user.I am considering embedding an FME Flow application within an ArcGIS Experience Builder that hosts both the 3D Viewer and the FME Flow application to facilitate the download of LAS files. Is this feasible? Any information or resources to assist in achieving this would be greatly appreciated.Additionally, is it possible to customise the FME Flow map to function as an ArcGIS Webmap (either 2D or 3D) to display the extent of the LiDAR data? My tests have only shown the default map with OpenStreetMap as the background, but I aim to provide users with the extent of the LiDAR data s

When I tried to connect to FME Flow from FME Form, it failed and got following logs:Starting connection to 'Prod FME Flow' Connecting to 'https://fmeflow.xxxx.xxxx.nsw.gov.au' (web connection, authenticated login)...

Our Flow instance has more web connections than it should.  That’s the result of allowing new connections without peer review.Now, one of our team members is leaving and I’m concerned his workspaces will use connections that won’t transfer.  (We use Entra)Is there a way to find all the connections used in various workspaces (scheduled and on-demand apps).  I don’t see a view for that in the individual workspaces, or I’d step through them all.Other than downloading and opening each workspace (~100), or deleting the connections to see what happens, is there a way?

Hopefully someone can offer some advice on using ArcGIS Online hosted feature service webhooks and FME Flow.I have set up webhooks on a test hosted feature service, derived from a survey123 form. When implementing a webhook directly via Survey123, I successfully receive a response in the FME Flow log. However, when implementing a webhook on the feature service, there is no response in the log.I’ve done some checks using https://webhook.site/ and I can see that ArcGIS Online is sending data when using that URL, so it’s not a problem with the feature service webhook, but appears to be an issue with FME Flow.I should add, FME Flow is HTTPS enabled. All feature service settings look to be correct and I have default Admin rights on AGOL.Has anyone encountered a similar problem?  

When I installed FME Server, it is asking me for the name of the server which I specified. But when I register the license and the engines are started, they are listed as localhost_ENGINE1. Is there a way to change it the server name? What if I wanted to specify the engines to run with the server name, how do I do that at install?

Hi allI have installed the FME Flow 2025.0.1 Build 25220 - win64, and the server is running but some texts displaying as hexadecimal. Does anyone have any idea why it's happening?

Hi guys, I have a doubt, I don’t know if such an option already exists or not, if it does, please guide me to the page.I need to make a notification system within the FME Server to send a live notification to a email if a job fails. Now there are number of methods to do this I believe, and I tried some of them but failed to achieve what I really require. What I need is a live notification system, i.e., it must notify me as soon the job fails. Now this notification message must contain time, workspace name, repository name, and the error message in a clean manner, like for example “Workspace Name : work.fmw”. Here the workspace name and repository name must be there without any fail, the other details I can compromise, but these two information is a must. Now, this notification system must not depend on a workspace, because I know i can create a notification system using FME Flow Notifier within a workspace. But I want the system to be independent of a work

Hi, We encountered a strange problem regarding python environment when running multiple jobs via jobsubmitters on FME Flow. We recently updated from FME Server 2022 to FME Flow 2024.2.3Build 24825 which is when the automation stopped working. The automation triggers a sequence of master workspaces, which then runs multiple child workspaces. The first master workspace contains a creator, pythonCaller and 2 FMEFlowJobSubmitters in sequence. The rest of the workspace is not important, as the problem is with these first transformers. When running the master workspace, the Flow engine is loaded with python 3.12+ and runs the first pytonCaller and first FMEFlowJobSubmitter without a problem. However, when running the second FMEJobSubmitter, the following error is given: “FME Engine encountered a Python issue. Workspace requiring Python 2.7 is requested to run on an FME Engine configured to use a Python 3.12+ interpreter. FME cannot continue given the

Hi,We are creating an FME Flow Automation App to help our land surveyors importing their data. Is there a way to send a message to the FME Flow Automation App interface if an action fails?We are currently using FME Flow 2023.2.2.

I have managed to use The Directory and File Pathnames reader, Attribute Manager and File Copy Writer to copy a file from one location to another. How would I be able to copy that same file into multiple subfolders of a single parent folder? I used this method so far.

The above error is the error am having running a workspace on FME Flow. Log ErrorThe log file for job ID "6" does not exist.

Hello everyone,I created a workspace app that is now used by my colleagues. In my script I have a geom parameter. In the workspace app the user uses the map tthen o populate the value for the geom parameter.My colleagues asked whether it's possible for the search to be limited to a certain area (Netherlands or even Utrecht ) One colleague made a typo and ended up in Latin-America. In order to minimize such mistakes it would be nice to limit the searches to certain areas and I was wondering whether that would be possible.

I have a routine that extracts property boundaries from a web service and outputs to shp to be imported into our Property and Rating system. I do have a Geometry Validation process to repair geometries where they may self intersect or are corrupted, however there are two polygons that are not repairing, even though they pass the test. Both are like the below. The polygon doesn’t actually cross over itself. Rather, this is two separate vertices where the bottom section meets the top section, and it’s all one polygon. Is there a way to automatically fix these with FME as we can’t edit the original. My workaround is to have the tiniest buffer and dissolve so the vertices don’t touch which passes the validation test in our P&R import, but ideally we should have clean geometries.Any help appreciated. Regards, 

Hi there,I have a number of FME Workflows on our GIS server that successfully run via scheduled tasks and bat file. However this latest one I have created only runs under my account and not the service account. The difference between this and other workflows is that this one is connecting to web services (Vicmap as a Service). I have made sure the service account has full permissions on any folders it is writing to as well the FME Programs folder. We are currently on FME Workbench 2022 but will soon be upgrading to the latest license structure.Do I need to consider any other permissions when dealing with web services? Regards,Josh
