FME Flow

Hello everyone, I need to create a loop in FME 2021, this loop would allow me to be able to browse several tables of several schemas of my database to retrieve a specific column "last_update" and then sort this column to retrieve the "last update date". So I would like to retrieve the "last update date" of all my tables but I don't know how to create a loop in FME 2021! Thank you for your help!

Hi All, I get the following error when trying to export a project where there is an issue with a dependency:This project contains items that don't exist or are inaccessible by you. My user is a superuser and I can see the file however when I click the link to take me to the file, I can see that the link is different. Is there a problem with the link?Link returned by project:/fmeserver/resources/lookup?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA%5CEDM_CSVexpected link:/fmeserver/resources/browse?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA%2FEDM_CSV&name=DataI noticed that @kate-safe mentioned in a recent ticket that this was a known bug ()Is there anyway to fix this without upgrading FME flow? It’s put a halt on all of our deployments.Flow installation details:FME Flow 2023.1Build 23619 - win64 Many thanks! Sam

Hey everyone,ich have a nice use case in our city: we want to offer a service where families can look which school is the nearest. My Idea was an app Server to create with only one field in order to type one Address. The System should calculate all the routes to the schools in the city (these addresses are known) and visualize them as a list or/and in a map as a result of the server app. Do you think this is possible? I need first of all a FME workbench with an address and a file with the school addresses and calculate the routes and I have problems to get it.  If this task is done, do you think is it possible to show as output the list with the distances and the routes in a map? many thanks in advance!

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.ThanksB

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 increased

 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 InWhen 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 the

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 databaseWe 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 several

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)?
