FME Flow

Hi! I could use a hand. I'm running an FME workspace that downloads data from ArcGIS Online using 4 HTTPCallers and a Web Connection. The workflow works fine in FME Form 2024, but when I publish and run it in FME Flow 2024.1, it fails.Setup:Using a Web Connection to authenticate (ArcGIS Online). The Web Connection exists in FME Server and is assigned to my user. The Web Connection is correctly assigned in FME Server.Does anyone have experience with this issue? Could it be related to permissions, token handling, or FME Server settings?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Problem Statement:I need to verify if all the workbenches in an automation for a particular run/trigger are successful. There can be multiple runs/triggers in a day, and the number of triggers per day is unknown. Things I Have Tried:When I attempt to retrieve relevant data from the FME Flow PostgreSQL database, I can't find a unique identifier for each run/trigger of an automation.I can see an event_id in web interface, but unable to find that in the postgres database.  

Hi, We are following this instruction Upgrading In Place, On the Same Machine and failing in the last step. what could be wrong? We are upgrading from FME flow 2023.1 to 2024.2  So what about that file: Migration) File "/temp/tomcat/fde0b0779317417da467e76dec4c9027/restServerRestore.fsconfig" does not exist for shared resource "FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM". 

I want to create a workflow that downloads a file from the internet (SHP file compressed as ZIP file). That file should then be used in my workflow for further analysis and processing. How should I set that up? I now have a "Creator", followed by a 'HTTPCaller'. This HTTPCaller downloads my ZIP file (contains a SHP file). How can I now use this data for further processing? When I use a ESRI SHP File Reader, I can't seem to send this file as an input to that Reader?  

We have an issue where a Workspace running on FME Server will not acquire an ArcGIS licence and we get the error message "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details" It seems the issue is related to user accounts and licenses used to run FME and ArcGIS, but I'm having trouble understanding how to set this up. I have tried with ArcGIS PRO 3.0.3 with Single User Advanced license or Named User Advanced License, FME Server 2022.2 with services running as either domain user with Administrator access or as a local user who is member of the local Administrator group. The FME Server

Hi, I have installed ArcGIS Pro 2.9 and FME Workbench 2022 on my computer. I have downloaded arcpy-example.fmw from the website, but I could not get it to run. I changed my setting, so that python compatibility is set to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+. I kept getting an ERROR: A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+'I am unsure whether I would need an extra step to connect my ArcGIS Pro license to FME. In addition, my ArcGIS Pro is not authorized to work offline. I was wondering whether this was an issue.  In addition, inside my ArcGIS, the Data Interoperability extension is grayed out. Is this the reason why I could not use Arcpy in FME desktop? My ArcGIS licensing shows that data interoperability is licensed on my ArcGIS. Do I need to install ArcGIS Data interoperability for Pro for it works?  

FME server 2020.2 failing with - "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This 64-bit version of FME requires 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server". There is already ArcGIS pro installed on same machine and the version of ArcGIS Pro is 2.6. Is ArcGIS server required for this?

I am trying to upload a project to FME Flow using REST API V3. The curl command is blank in the documentation. I have tried to configure a command based on the documentation and other (working) commands, but I have not had much success. Does anyone have an example of a working command to upload a .fsproject file?

I am using FME Flow 2021.2.Is there a way to change the Directory Watch Poll Interval in an Automation to trigger only Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.? 

Hello you all and perhaps especially ​@LizAtSafe Gone through this tutorial here:Using the Geometry Parameter – FME Support CenterAnd this is of great help, just have one question that I cant figure out the answer to and that is if the selection map can be set as “Inline” by default instead of “Pop up”, as in that the users have the little imbedded selection map by default when accessing the tool?With regards,

Hello, I have FME Form and FME Flow 2021.2.Can I still use this version of FME with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3?Is there a document outlining which versions of FME work with what versions of ArcGIS Enterprise?

We are currently running FME Server 2022.2. on prem (not cloud hosted).  We had been planning on upgrading to the latest, but now even more so with the privilege escalation issue, and there apparently not being a fix for our version….except to upgrade.Looking over the “in place upgrade” portion of the documentation, it seems we can simply backup the configuration files (we’re not using version control yet), do an uninstall of 2022.2, do a fresh install of the latest 2024, and then restore the configuration backup.Are there any known issues with doing this from 2022 to 2024?  I know the product was rebranded in 2023, but the differences I could see between 2022 and 2023 seemed mostly cosmetic for the rebrand.  However, I know 2024 seems to be different.I just really want to dot all my i’s and cross all my t’s, and keep any down time to a minimum.  And know if there are any “gotchas” that can be avoided.Thank you.

In my FME Flow app - I have a geometry/location picker option and sometimes the map is not centered right/doesn’t load correctly (notworking.png) but once a user refreshes the app a few times it goes back to working again (working.png). I’m on version 2022.1 of Flow Hosted and have the screenshots of what the different maps look like below.  

There is one workbench file that only has a SQLCreator within it that executes some update queries in the database tables for Oracle DB.This workbench was previously scheduled to run from FME server but  we recently migrated our FME environment from FME Server (on-prem) to FME Flow 2023 (azure environment). We are seeing issues when this process is run from FME Flow , the SQL queries defined to be executed within the SQLCreator are not getting executed. However, when run from FME Form (2023) it is working fine.Can you please confirm if there is a known issue with SQLCreator from FME Flow.We have observed that when SQLCreator is replaced with Creator+SQLExecutor , the process seems to be working fine from both FME Form and FME Flow.Hence need confirmation to proceed with the change

Where can we find the download for FME Flow and Form version 2024.2.3?I only see versions 2024.2.2 and 2025.0 in the list of available downloads. Thank you

Hello, I am looking to use attribute value mapper ( or another transformer etc) to  map from multiple input attributes (VEG_SBOIS)  and (CLASSE) to a single output attribute (SURF_COVER) see below screenshots for example I have tried using a tester with  left value filled in and operator  “attribute has a value” but it doesnt work perfectly since im only looking to map certain input values (not all ) to different output values.  any help is appreciated,thanks,Curtis

We make use of parallel processing within FME Flow 2023.1. However we are struggling to de-bug issues that intermittently occur in the worker processes. I can see that, whilst running, each worker process has a log file, stored under the parent job log. However, this is deleted when the worker process closes, even if it fails. This makes it very difficult retrospectively diagnose any issues.In our FME Server 2021 instance, the worker logs are surfaced in the main job log once complete, which is fine, but I can’t identify any setting to control and replicate this behaviour.Does any one know of a config change that I can make, in FME Flow 2023, to retain these worker logs somehow?

Hello Safers,I am planning a FME Flow deployment, and have a question regarding the distributed tier 2 format. I wanted to ask for clarity: In the tier 2 distributed format, is installing both the FME Database and the FME System Share alright on the same machine? Or, is it required that these components are installed on different machines? I would like to install the FME Database on a machine designed for this purpose for our DBA to manage, but didn’t know if I also required another machine for the FME System Share. If that is the case, could I also install the FME System Share on a different drive on the machine FME Flow is installed? I realize this does not mitigate machine-failure, but would mitigate if drive failure occurred, Apologies for the basic question! This my first FME Flow deployment plan.I meant FME Flow System Share…typo in the title!Thanks!

FME Flow 2024.1Workspace set up on FME Form with a web connection configured as a user parameter and only allowing one type of supported service. This works on FME Form as expected. Once the workspace is uploaded to FME Flow, any web connection present within Flow can be selected irrespective of what service this is for. Is this expected behaviour?

I have a flow workspace app that simply takes a shapefile and converts it to a 2D grid, previously (most of 2024) this accepted a zip file of the shape components and worked fine. My user has been using this for months with no problem. Seemingly now it stopped accepting zip files and instead through trial and error i got it working ONLY selecting the .shp component from my PC. This seemed a bit weird as i know it needs more than this but it seemed to work.I've since downloaded the workspace, made a tiny adjustment to something unrelated to reading the shapefile, republished. This new version now will only work if you select both the .dbf and the .shp, the previous version still works with just the .shp.I've tried to trouble shoot, recreate the app, anything i can think of but i cant for the life of me explain this inconsistency im finding, has anyone had anything similar?

I understand that FME can only connect to GitLab not others like Microsoft TFS/GIT or its new name Azure DevOps (locally hosted). Is there a way as a work-around to have FME via Jenkins Pipeline be started from FME to connect to the local git repo pull the requested FME project file from GIT into FME for editing or executing?I searched but didn't find much on the 'Jenkins Pipeline' topic or GIT outside of GitLab.

Hi everybody, Has anyone had success with accessing a file share on a domain-joined server from an FME Flow instance hosted on a VM that is not domain-joined? If so, what mechanism did you use to put this in place? Thanks for any thoughts and ideas!

Does anyone know how to add information about the features written to the Action Succeeded output port of the Run a Workspace-action?This is what I tried and where I got stuck:In my automations I like to send an email with information about the execution of the automation.In the email I added information like time started, time finished and a link to the job summary. I wanted to add information about the number of features written. I found this and that works just fine: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407494315789-FME-Flow-Get-the-Count-of-Features-Written-in-an-AutomationBut now I have a problem: the email I send is connected to the Action Succeeded output port and the summary is on another output port.Is there a way to combine these two output ports? The "Merge" action did not allow me to do this.Of course I could just use the new Summary output-port instead of the Action Succeeded, because I think I can sort of assu
