FME Flow

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’m trying to set up an automation with a merge process similar to what is described hereGetting Started with the Split-Merge Block – FME Support Center However, when I try to add in a Merge action to the Failure port I get the following error message Has anyone encountered this? I’m using the Merge Tool with a Failure Port so I’m not sure why it’s complaining FME 2024.1 Build 24612

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

I’m trying to replicate a user’s Web Service for Sharepoint Online. However, I don’t have the field called ‘Request Format’ within the ‘Retrieve Token Parameters’ section. Does anyone know why this would be missing for me but not for other users within the business?  Other users  

Hi, we are silent installing FME Flow for the first time. We used to install FME Server using a silent install script, which uses the next installation properties:FMESERVERHOSTNAMEINSTALLDIRFMESERVERSHAREDDATAPGDATAWEBSERVERHOSTNAMESERVLETPORTDATABASEPASSWORDIn the new FME Flow silent install instructions, a different set of installation properties is used. I think the properties above compare to COREHOSTNAME (changed)INSTALLDIR (unchanged)FMEFLOWSHAREDDATA (changed)PGDATA (unchanged)EXTERNALHOSTNAME (changed)SERVLETPORT (unchanged)DATABASEPASSWORD (unchanged).My questions:Can this be confirmed?  Would it be possible to get a link to the location where this is documented? 

I am running an automation process that collects some data via a webhook ,does some processing then outputs some shapefiles. I am trying to extract the URL to the download zip that you get when you run the workspace outside the automation from a workspace app or just run on flow itself.The issues im having are:-When the workspace is run within the automation it does not create a zip file in the temp/engineresults like when you run from a workspace app-If i explicitly define temp/engineresults as the output location, it will write either a hardcoded zipfile name (not the autogenerated one) OR if i remove the .zip extension it writes each individual file - which i dont want-I am able to extract out the autogenerated URL from the logfile, however because of the bullet points above there is actually no file being created at that URLI've seen plenty of topics around this URL, but none of them seem to cover my situation, im basically asking what configur

We are converting a number of GIS-focused Automations in FME Flow 2024.0 to use the new SDE Database Connections instead of the old PATH resource.  FME Flow is returning an error when attempting to read the new database connection properties: ‘An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file’ For each of the FME Flow Database Connections, we used an FME Resource, ‘SDE_GISD’, for the path reference for the connection file.  We found if we use a UNC path instead of the FME Flow resource it works as expected.  Is this a limitation or are we doing something wrong?Connection works as expected on local host, local server host, and with UNC path for the database connection within FME Flow.  Just not with using a Resource path in the connection.Error:315 2024-7-31 11:51:25 | Opening the Esri Geodatabase reader 316 2024-7-31 11:51:25 | An ArcGIS license is

We migrated from FME Server 2022 to FME Flow 2024 (FME Flow 2024.2.3Build 24825 - win64) and we have imported the 2022 backup successfully. When I now want to create a new project and I want to add a Resource path to the Project, the list of Resources to chose from is empty.I’ve looked at the request and the response contains the list of resource paths at the highest level but this list is not displayed in the UI. Is there a known issue with this release or a config setting that we missed?Request URL:https://<fmeserver>/fmeapiv4/resources/connections?limit=100&offset=0&suppressBroadcastError=false&cb=1744107685909Request Method:GETStatus Code:200 OKResponse : {    "items": [        {            "name": "FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_BACKUP",            "owner": "admin",            "ownerID": "fb2dd313-e5c

So, I've created an server app that sometimes posts very large datasets and have so far been able to restrict access to the data by just emailing the dataset back as an attachment (user email as parameter)(its not super safe, but safe enough - the data isn't super sensitive but sensitive enough). I've thus been able to restrict the data to the person running the server app by letting the person enter their email and get the data back that way. But now the datasets is growing kinda fast and the email client isn't putting up with 20-50 megabytes of attachments. So I read that it was possible to get the server app to respond with the download link (again not super safe, but safe enough). So: how do I do that? What parameter carries the data download link from server apps? Or, it doesn't work that way? (in wich case I'd have to do a workaround, and nobody likes workarounds :-) Been searching an

I have an ID field that is correctly read by FME as varchar(22) when writing using the Feature Writer.However, before that, I use the SchemaScanner, and it incorrectly detects the data type as fme_real64. As a result, the original value is eventually written in scientific notation, like 2.2072213393213062e+21, instead of preserving the original string format.Is there a way to ensure that SchemaScanner correctly detects the field as varchar(22) to prevent this issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated!  

I am doing proof-of-concept testing to create a FLOW APP to collect public input data (public survey).. It’s simple survey, just  a few questions. Everything seems working (I published workspace for ‘job submitter’.. but Is it possible tomodify the ‘Run’ button in the App? e.g. as ‘Submit’.2. disable the ‘Run Again’ after a run?After run complete, is it possible to return some text message? e.g. ‘Your inputs has been recorded. Thank you for your help!...” or a bit more advanced to return the summary of data input by user?Not sure if I am heading a wrong direction. Any help is appreciated. 

Hi All,I have a FME workspace published with the Data streaming service of FME Server 2016.The workspace creates a HTML file for output.When I run the workspace my browser allows me to download the file (or run it).I want the HTML contents of the file to replace the FME Server page (or automatically open in a new tab).What do I need to change to open the HTML file without user interaction?Thanks for any help,Erik Jan

Morning all,I’m trying to create a workspace that works both on FME Flow & Form. I’m using the FME_JOB_ID to determine what the workflow is running on.If its FME Form I’m setting the filepath to a shared drive. For Flow I’m trying to set it to the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP folder to produce a data download.If I hard code the parameter in the writer to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)@Value(_FILEPATH) its fine, but I can’t do this as the file will not then post to a shared drive.If I try and set the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP in the workspace to push that to my parameter and add it to the created filepath FME no longer produces the downloaded zip file.I’m setting the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP to the url defined on Flow - which in this case is something likehttps://-myserverlocation-/fmeserver/resources/browse?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP&name=TempIs this correct, or should I be using a shorter, relative path? EDIT: Sorry just

I’m wondering is there a way to add like datetime stamps to the engine result zipped file name? I know this need to be unique but would be nice to add datetime stamps to it while have it remain unique.  

Hello Forum, Is is possible within FME Flow to post a dataset (e.g.: a geojson) to an API endpoint, or equivalent function. I would then pass the API details to an external partner, from where they would download the full geojson file. Thanks, 

Hi, every day I monitor hundreds of jobs on an instance of FME Flow. Whenever an error occurs, I look in the log file of that job to figure out what went wrong. Now the problem is that sometimes that log file is empty, or only consists of a few warnings. I found out that it is related to which log-filters was configured when the workspace was uploaded to FME Flow. Is there any way to change the global log-filters on FME Flow, to make sure every workspace uses the same filter? Best regards,Jacques

Hi, we are using an fme flow app do to some export jobs for us.When the job is done, a mail is sent tot he user. This is done by using the transformer “emailer” after FeatureWriter. The mail contains the link to download the data. To generatet he download link we have oriented ourselves here: https://community.safe.com/automation-13/download-urlfrom-server-app-11037 Our download link looks like: {FME Server Web URL}/fmedatadownload/results/{zip file name from FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR} But when I click on the link the message „Download Dataset Expired“

Hello,I recently received a new fme flow 2024 from my IT department and something keeps failing when i run a large workspace(1096704 kB), i get no error but the workspace fails.This same workspace runs in fme flow 2023 without any problem.Here are my system details,FME FLOW 2023System Status: 43.39 GB of disk space available in the FME temporary folder (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\fmeengines\{enginename}_Engine1)System Status: 30.00 GB of physical memory availableSystem Status: 126.00 GB of virtual memory availableFME FLOW 2024System Status: 65.31 GB of disk space available in the FME temporary folder (C:\Windows\TEMP\fmeengines\{enginename}_Engine2)System Status: 30.00 GB of physical memory availableSystem Status: 126.00 GB of virtual memory availableI have been reading around but i have not been able to pint out where the problem actually lies.

A simple workspace created in Workbench 2024.1.1 with three FME Flow deployment parameters - a web connection using Esri ArcGIS Portal (Template), a DB connection to PostgreSQL and a Text deployment parameter - works perfectly in Workbench as well as a manual or scheduled job once published to Flow.An FME Flow app created from that workspace fails trying to access the Web and DB deployment parameters. The Text parameter works fine. The app fails whether or not authentication is required to run the app. The Web and DB connections and the associated deployment parameters have been shared with fmeuser and fmeguest roles with Read access to try to fix the problem - but that did not help.Web connection error: 2025-3-20 14:46:38 | FME Flow error: `FME Flow error: `Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions for connection: WEB_ARCGIS_PORTAL.
