FME Flow

Hi, I’ve a FME FLOW in 2023.2.1. Which version of FME FORM 2023.X.X we need to use ? 2023.2.1 or 2023.2.4 (the last in 2023.X.X) Thank for your feedback

On FME Flow, can I use the same SharePoint Online Connector Webservice for the SharePoint Online Connector and the SharePoint List Reader/Writer?

We are upgrading to FME Flow 2024 and wanting to make some improvements. As part of this we want to know if we can have a user upload workbenches to FME Flow. Then login to FME Flow with their user account, but somehow build automations, streams, apps, and scheduled jobs to run under a different user account. We are trying to migrate from putting the all the running automations, schedules, and other items under individual user accounts. Instead we want to assign to a departmental account. Since we have FME Flow tied into our Active Directory this will prevent any permission issues of jobs not working when an employee leaves the company and their AD account is suspended. I didn’t really want to have every user login to FME Flow with the departmental user account. Then we won’t keep the individual repositories for workspaces and will become a mess. I know the GUI/Web Front End as-is doesn’t support this but trying to decide what approach I could do to solve this. My easiest thought is to

I’m trying to learn how to use loops, so I’m creating a basic dissolve loop. However, no matter how many iterations I set it to run for. It seems to go on infinitely. Also, although the loop is set to ‘loop’ back to the ‘Looped’ input, it seems to keep looping back to the ‘input’ transformer? I’ve attached both the workbench and the shapefile I have been using for this test, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks B

Hi all, I need some advice for 2 issues in FME server, which are possibly related: 1. Memory Issue ( Insufficient memory available -- error code was 2 - please read the FME Help section 'Adjusting Memory Resources' for workarounds. ):I have an issue with a workbench I’ve made in FME desktop which behaves differently when run on FME server. Both environments have the same memory constraints. The issue occurs when I try to load a handful (<5) of files into my workspace, which generally can handle upwards of 400 regular files. The files themselves aren’t much different (no odd characters that might trip the process up), but FME seems to get stuck on a subset of them, and keeps churning until all memory is used up. As mentioned, this only happens in FME Server. On failing a Job due to no memory, it tries again: (Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage limit. To improve stability and performance please increase the memory available to FME. Available memory can be increas

Running 2023.2 (both Flow and Form) and I have SAML setup, configured, and working on Flow.

Hello, So the following issue that was suppose to be fixed with version 2018.1 and onwards is not completely dealt with The issue seems to point to an error related to UNC paths using international characters when adding Network Resources as pointed out by this article: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407651730573-No-FME-Engines-Available-After-Adding-Network-Based-Resource According to the article this error was fixed from 2018.1 onwards. However I found out that using a space in the UNC path will cause a similar error (if not the same) and the only way to fix it is to remove the Network Resource with the space in their UNC Path. I’ve tried with different versions and so far the error shows up even on 2024.1. This UNC path generates the error: \\seerver\Customers\Data In When the above UNC path is added to the Network Resources, the system is able to recognize the path and creates the respective folder in the Resources (granted you need to have the right permissions for t

Hi ! I installed FME flow and now I’m trying to lauch it. But I cannot succeded. I go to Windows => FME flow => FME Flow Web interface. A message appair saying that it’s impossible to access to this page. I tried to stop the firewall, to allow connections on the web application server port, to lauch manually FME service, to start, restart, stop FME flow, etc. I looked these pages : FME Flow Troubleshooting: Web Interface Login – FME Support Center (safe.com) FME Server starts, but I can't access the web interface from a different machine – FME Support Center (safe.com) Can't Login to FME Flow Web UI | Error "Exception loading sessions from persistent storage" – FME Support Center (safe.com) I don’t understand what is wrong. I just reinstall windows few weeks ago and so my computer is clean. And I made a standard installation of FME form and FME flow. Do you have any idea? Thanks !

Hi folks! Trying to build am FME Flow/Server Automation where if a backend API table is updated by a user that it triggers running an FME workspace that I’ve already uploaded to FME Server. What would be the appropriate trigger to use to kick off the process? Would I have to create a webhook on the API table URL somehow to trigger based on FeaturesCreated and FeaturesUpdated? So whenever the attributes in the API table on the backend are updated, I’d want FME Flow/Server to kick off firing off that FME workspace. Thank you!

There are Workspace Parameters for Last Save Date, Last Save Build, and History. Can any of these parameters be found through the Flow interface once a workspace has been published? As I am improving a workspace, it will get published to the non-production Flow environment several times. How can I determine which version of an FME Workspace has been published to Flow? ~Ray

Hi all, New user here - trying to get a support-only role set up for a few on my team in FME Form. We sometimes have jobs that need to be resubmitted and would like the support role to have the ability to do this but to NOT be able to edit the workspaces or automations at all. I have played around with editing the role permissions and no matter what I try, the users are not able to resubmit jobs. They can get to the job and view logs but get an ‘Unauthorized request by user due to lack of permissions...’ error. Has anyone experienced something like this or have any idea on what permission set would be tied to resubmitting jobs? Thank you!

Hello, At Spatialworld, we are acquiring a Raspberry pi 5 to play with FME Ubuntu ARM as they seem to be a great match for IOT demos. We did some testing in docker and they went well but we wondered if others had already played with them and had projects? We would be very glad to exchange experience on this as it looks promising and fun (especially with FME Flow remote engines for people with subscriptions). Looking forward to reading about this! 🎮

I get this error installing FME Flow 2024.1 on Windows 10. I don’t believe it’s related to the only other forum thread on this error as I have 30 GB of free space on C:.

Dear FME friends, We upgraded our fme 2023.1.1 to 2024.0.3. To test the new version, several test were done on the new environment, among which a performancetest for databases PostgreSQL and Oracle. The workspaces that are run in a automation do 3 things: Download open data en put this data in our own postgresql datase Read the data from the database Delete the data from the database We saw strange things going on in the numbers for both our postgresql and Oracle test. We saw for the postgresql test that the CPU-time was longer than the elapsed time. Furthermore the running time in 2024 was generally longer than in 2021. Please find attached the examples of the runs on fme 2021 and fme 2024. It is clearly seen something is wrong. Can you explain why in the 21 runs the elapsed time seems to be more than the cpu time and in the 24 run it is the other way around. The used dataset is exacly the same in both workspaces publised on fme server/flow. We did the same experiment 5 times for seve

A user attempted to run an FME Flow App and encountered an error message saying, "You are Forbidden". The Flow App needs credentials to access, which were provided. The user was able to successfully upload the required file. What can be the cause of this issue and how can I resolve it.

ArcGIS Server can be configured to disallow administrative tasks from being conducted via REST. Is there something similar with an FME Flow that has a proxy server to do something similar--disallowing administrative logons via the proxy server (direct logon to FME Core machine only)?

Hi, there Does FME Desktop 2022.2.2 and FME Server 2022.2.2 use any of the below listed .NET components?

Hello all, Today I fell into a rabbit hole with the HTTP request action in Automations (2024.1). As the Action lacks the parameters key-value interfacing of a fully fledged HTTPCaller, I needed to build-up the parameter-part of the URL in the text-editor. There, some URL encoding happens. Spaces are substituted by %20 at least. But I was unable to parse a GeoJSON as the [ ] were not encoded. When I manually url-encoded the parameter values, the encoding (%) was encoded(%25) , so I still did not get a valid GeoJSON from a manual-trigger-Geometry parameter to a parameter in a workspace REST-webhook. I remember around 2016, the default server.xml in a FME Server installation did allow for non-encoded brackets through an exception in the <connector>. That has long gone in the standard install. Using Kubernetes, even if I wanted to, I would not know how to put that back. So: Has anyone figured-out the encoding which does occur (which and when)? @Safe: Could we please have reliable full enco

Pretty much just as the error says: “There was an error submitting the job. COM.safe.fmeserver.api.FMEServerException: Job submission failed. Could not acquire valid job queue.” This displays immediately after pressing run in the workspace runner on FME Server 2021.2.5. I’m not sure where to start investigating and thought maybe someone could point me in the general direction.

FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64) I have a simple scripted parameter script in workbench to return the value of a deployment parameter and I’m wondering if there’s a bug in the interface. When I drag a user parameter onto the script canvas the code generated contains FME_MacroValues, eg. FME_MacroValues['SomeUserParam'] If I drag a deployment parameter, dpTest, onto the script canvas the code generated looks like $(dpTest) Here’s the script. The commented code fails; if I manually correct $(dpTest) to FME_MacroValues['dpTest'], it runs: # Get the archive folder from deployment paramimport fme #arch = $(dpTest)#return arch return FME_MacroValues['dpTest'] Is this a bug? Thanks.
