FME Flow

in a FME FORM i have made some user parameter, that takes in input; one of them have a conditional visibility based on whether another user parameter has an input of > 100. When i run the creator in FORM, and input a number abobe 100,  it works, but when i publish it to FLOW the conditional visibility doesn’t work.then, if I change the condition to “is 100” instead og “> 100” and republish, it works.is this a bug, or is there a work around?  

Hi -I could use a hand. We are working with FME Flow 2024.1.1 with work spaces being generated in FME Desktop 2024.1.1.The data download service is working fine, but we would like to be able to do one or two things:Is it possible to just download a .docx or xslx file without it being zipped? It is one other step that our end users don’t need. If not, is it possible to name the zip file according to report for the area we are working in, something like: BostonStreets_20250203.zip. An example of the output we are seeing, and would like to change, is attached. We can name the files within the zip file whatever we want, no problem.Any help or suggestions are appreciated!Thanks!

Hi FME community,I’ve recently been asked if FME Flow supports access via the Microsoft Entra application proxy. Has anyone configured this and can confirm it is supported?I believe it’s very similar to the setup explained in the documentation below, but I haven’t been able to find any documentation referencing the Microsoft Entra application proxy.https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407571916173-Use-a-Reverse-Proxy-with-FME-Serverhttps://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407364847885-Using-IIS-and-ARR-as-a-Reverse-Proxy-in-FME-FlowThanks!

This job works fine in FME Workbench 2024.2. But in FME flow, when I try to run the workspace, it’s trying to create a folder instead of a .xml file. See screenshots

We have an FME Flow Hosted instance running and I need to connect to an MS SQL Server. I have seen from the Reader/Writer documentation that MS SQL is not supported from FME Flow Hosted.Does anyone have a suggestion how we could still connect to MS SQL?The question is very relevant to us, since we plan to migrate to an FME Flow that will also run from an Linux-instance, which seems to be the cause why it isn’t possible to connect to MS SQL. N.B. Our current FME version is 2024.0.3.

Hi AllCurrently we are facing some weird issueWe have a FME workspace which is running fine in FME Form (2024.2.3 - 64 bit), we have published to FME Flow (2024.2.3) and when we ran the workspace from FME Flow, it started throwing below Ora error (changed ServerName & UserName values to XXX to hide)-“ Error connecting to Oracle database: message was `ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified'. (serverType=`ORACLE8I', serverName=`XXX', userName=`XXX', password=`***', dbname=`') “I have cross verified the below from my side on FME Flow (Windows Server) and I’m not sure what I’m missing, please suggest how can I overcome this issue in FME Flow.We are not connecting to Oracle using local naming (tnsnames.ora file) instead using LDAP TNSPING ServiceName - resulted correct response  Ensured both Oracle Client 32 bit and Oracle Client 64 bit paths are part of ‘Path’ environment variable under system variablesFME Flow windows services (Application, Core, Database, E

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 such it never processes the file as expected.  Any advice as to what I am doing wrong in the process?

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-Flow/WebUI/System-Email.htm What are the steps needed to set up System Email with Microsoft OAuth?Do we need to register an SMTP Account & Password rather than use Client ID / Client Secret?

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. As long as the connection is hardcoded in the workspace. ❌ FME Flow with Portal Connection ParameterNow I want to create a parameter for this connection, so I can choose in FME Flow which connection to use, but that doesn't seem to work.When creating the parameter the only supported service is 'Esri ArcGIS Portal (Template)’,

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 so they are aware of what

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?

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 workspace as it requires the works

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 Python version mismatch”However, all mast

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.
