FME Flow

Hello Esteemed Community,I have been banging my head on this issue and have tried the help documents, this forum and the academy training to find an answer and am still stumped. I am struggling to access data that I submit with a topic through the data streaming service inside my automation via the FME Flow Topic Trigger. I have successfully tried the FMEFlowNotifier transformer just to see if I could get that working, but it does not fit in line with what I am trying to do which is to post to topics on success or failure at the end.This is what the service properties looks like: Service PropertiesAnd the JSON writer: JSON Writer

Hi, I have something I can’t find my way around in.We have a whole lot of Revit files. At the end we need them at ArcGIS Online as room Polygons and ghosted facades.I created a flow, that worked on the first file, but after that some works, some don’t and I can’t see the difference.I’ve testet and added the files in ArcGIS Pro and defined the correct coordinate system, and they are all placed correctly, using the exact same method, but using FME only some are placed correctly.I’m using a Feature reader using the Danish Coordinate system ESPG 4095, since that’s what have been added to the Revit file, and I’m using a feature writer using the same coordinate system.I was playing around with the Coordinate system to read, it’s not helping me at all, and why should that make any difference when it pops in perfectly in ArcGIS PRO. I hope one can help me understand this.Thanks

Hi,In FME Flow (2024.1.1.1) Automations, I cannot set parameter values ​​from a trigger to a workspace when the published parameters are in a group box. There is simply no select button. On the other hand, if I bring the parameter to the first level, it works. Is this a know issue or intentional? 

2022.0.0.2  > Flow 2024.1  Is there a way to tell how many transformers will need to be upgraded? 

Our FME Form installations are able to establish ArcSDE connections with a SQL creator to our enterprise SQL Server geodatabase and perform SQL Select statements.When these workspaces are published to Flow the following warnings are received and the records are not read:“Esri Geodatabase: ArcMap has limited SQL functionality and may not be able to process query 'SELECT CPSUPV,CPTECH FROM AICC.GLP_BDinfo'. Consider installing ArcGIS Pro for broader SQL functionality”FME Flow is able to use the same ArcSDE connections, and read records with an ArcSDE Reader from our enterprise SQL Server geodatabase.  It only seems to complain when we attempt to execute SQL through the connection with a SQL Creator or Executor.Additionally, FME Flow successfully executes SQL statements using SQL Creators/Executors against the enterprise geodatabase when connecting via a Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial format connection.Is there a

FME Flow 2023.1.1, Build 23631 - win64Hello FMEers,I have a simple workspace that is hooked up to a Resource or Network Directory trigger in FME Flow. I connected an emailer to the success port of the action, like so: The workspace contains scripted parameters which get written to an Automations writer called ScriptedParams. I want to get the values of some of the scripted parameters in the email, so through the text editor interface I navigate toWorkspace > ScriptedParams > MyParam and it drops{route.ScriptedParams.MyParam} into the body of the email.But when the automation runs I only get the value _undefined_  in the resulting email. If I ONLY connect the emailer to the ScriptedParams port (i.e. delete the success port connection) the values are correctly passed. But of

​Hey!I’m faced with the challenge of deploying FME Remote Engine Services (RES) in a hybride cloud scenario. In this scenario, Windows/Linux VMs are not an option and I came up with the idea of packaging RES in a Ubuntu-based Docker Image for a containerized deployment.My approach is to use silent install with a cfg-file like officially supported for FME Flow installation on a Ubuntu base image. However, I’m adapting it for the Remote Engine Services, which are shipped as a *.run file.Unfortunately, there is no official documentation/support for the Docker part and I had to build my custom image. However, I was wondering if anyone out there has tried something like this?Why is this not officially supported by @safe @safesoftware (yet)? Seems like a low hanging fruit - for FME Flow dockerfile is provided officially and it is much more complex…

In the past couple of weeks two previously-reliable webhooks from separate Survey123 surveys to Flow have received empty JSON payloads, or possibly no payload at all, whilst still triggering our respective webhook automations and email actions. Below is what the automation log is showing with nothing seemingly coming through for the feature object:I’m curious as to whether others have observed this recently and whether there may have been a change in the JSON provided by Survey123 - I will enquire to our ESRI vendor/Geonet about that - but thought it also worth posting here from a Flow point of view, not least if we unearth a solution that helps us all.Webhooks were set up following this Safe article 

Hi all,We are planning the release of our upgrade FME 2024 package and the upgrade of our license manager.If we go ahead and upgrade the license manager will it still work with the older 2022 clients?We have a short overlap period during testing where both versions are in use.Thanks,Annette

Hello, I currently have a workbench that extracts all of my job history, auotmations, dataEndpoints (readers/writers) which I feed into a powerBI dashboard so I can more easily track data i/o, and jobs via using httpcallers and the fme flow rest api v3.I have just realised there is a issue with this, FeatureReaders, FeatureWriters, SQLExecutors and SQLCreators are excluded when using get “/repositories/{repository}/items/{item}/datasets/{dtype}”… to extract my readers/writers, dtype refers to source or destination, which is only assigned to readers and writers.The issue is FeatureReaders and FeatureWriter are transformers, they are not included in this output!What other methods can I use to extract these parameters from the FeatureReaders/FeatureWriters? (source/destination datasets specifically)

We would like to convert a large number of scheduled FME flows we execute today via Autosys.  Autosys has built-in integration with our Incident Management system (ServiceNow).  So if any FME wokspace fails in the flow, it creates an incident in ServiceNow and our on call person is notified by ServiceNow.Automations in FME Flow have the ability to execute a workspace on failure of a workspace, which could use the ServiceNow API.  However, we have many flows with many workspace executions in each flow.  We run 15 min, 30 min, hrly and daily flows.What is the recommended best practice to integrate our incident management system into FME Flow.  Some of the items:When we publish a workspace to flow what are the recommended services (ie Job submitter, Notification Service)? Flow - in the automation do we connect every workspace failure to a Topic then to a ServiceNow API call workspace to send info like workspace name and error code/msg info t

Is there a reason the FME database user has to be dropped and recreated when upgrading FME Flow, as opposed to just dropping all the schema objects?  Is it just because it’s simpler to drop and recreate?

 HelloI get this message on FME Server 2022 and I do not know what is wrong.

Dear reader,  I want to know if it is possible (if yes, how) to connect FME with an Azure File Storage with OAuth. The Azure connection transformer, AzureFileStorageConnector seem to not have a Oauth connection possible. Is this true and are there other ways to make an Oauth connection to Azure File Storage in FME Desktop? 

I am finding it difficult completing the task’s above on the image. how can I check my own username and password set during installation . Get the connection details from your FME Flow Administrator. If you are using FME Flow on your own machine, use http://localhost and your own username and password set during installation.

On fme server, web connections we can authorise the named connections as various accounts. How can we check what accounts these are currently authorised as?  Thanks

This is what I was going to post in FME Communities. Please change anything that doesn't make sense as I may have used terminology wrong:We are currently deploying FME Flow 2024.1.1 and will need to run FME Server 2022.2 in parallel for the next few months while we migrate workspaces/solutions over to Flow. With that in mind, we were curious about changing the URL of FME Flow from https://DOMAIN/fmeserver to https://DOMAIN/fmeflow by changing the fmeserver.war file name to fmeflow.war and redeploying Tomcat. Note: We’re using our own version of Tomcat and have a distributed deployment setup. We were able to get the new ‘fmeflow’ URL to work with this new .war file and subsequent folders. Our question is: Are there hard-coded elements that we would need to look out for and change t

I’ve just upgraded FME Flow to v2023.2 Build 23774.  One of my users found that they were not getting any results for a workbench that was working before the upgrade and had been run by others users, including themselves, after the upgrade. In researching this particular case I found that the user was had uploaded a file as an input for the workbench, that was the same as an existing uploaded file, however in this case the naming of the files were the same except that one had the filename in all UPPER case, while the other filename was in a mix of UPPER and LOWER case.  Upon running the workbench the user is not made aware that the upload of the file has in fact failed (the original version on Flow is maintained as it was) but sees that the workbench has failed with an error indicating the file could not be located.  Has anyone else seen this or can replicate it.It seems like there is a different set of rules in place for uploading files as opposed to

Installing FME flow for the first time.  Looking at it from IT perspective, not an FME user myself.  Current users are using FME Form on Windows, and I’m upgrading this FME Flow server.  We have very low load, but growing and so I’m moving our “operations” from under a user’s desk to our data center.   We mange a lot of Windows and Linux systems, but prefer Linux when there’s a choice, and Linux is genuinely fully supported by vendor.  Initially I thought it had to run on Windows do to ArcGIS jobs which apparently requires Windows ESRI DLLs.  But upon closer read of docs, it appears that a distributed install allows all components on Linux except engine(s) for ArcGIS jobs.  While I lean toward Linux, I also favor simplicity and eschew unnecessary complexity, and obviously a distributed install is more complex, but depending on the specific software, more complex doesn’t necessarily mean that much more work.  I don’t however need fault-tolerantAny recommendations?  Window

 Seeing the message ‘FME Flow is not ready yet. Try again later.’ after installing FME Flow 2023.2.1.Tried restarting services and server but no luck.Has anyone else seen this, and found the cause/solution? 

Hello FME community,I have a workspace that uses the FileCopyWriter to move files from folder a to folder b. After that, FME Flow should show the user an HTML report showing which files were moved and the path.I thought I could use data streaming service for this. But then the files are written to a ZIP file instead of being moved to the correct folder. The HTML-report is in this ZIP file too.So is there a way to achieve my goal or is this impossible?Thanks for any help

Ok,So we are still using FME flow 2023.2. And its been a while since making those choice parameters. So I thought I would make one to select environment. So the display settings is important to be short and cool, while the value can be long and hard. so I published the workspace as a datastreaming service, and thought for sure my param value should be that of the display values. but no, datastreaming wants my full grose value as an input. This is so annoying, is this fixed in 2024 version? and where is the bug report form?I dont like negative posts, but I have no choice now..

Is it possible to run workspaces in FME Server as different user accounts i.e. service accounts? I am aware of running FME Services Engine as a different account. The issue there is that over time you will have to grant this account access to a lot of different resources and this would not be good cyber-security practice.

On FME Server 2022.1.1, me and a fellow colleague noticed we cannot download any FMW files from the Workspaces page.Upon opening a Chrome console, we both get the following errors when trying: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()main-es2015.4568b5467a926bd0ac9b.js:1 ERROR TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'body')  at HTMLIFrameElement.j [as __zone_symbol__ON_PROPERTYload] (safe-software-app.22623.min.js:10:16906)  at HTMLIFrameElement.w (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:35186)  at u.invokeTask (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:25728)  at Object.onInvokeTask (main-es2015.4568b5467a926bd0ac9b.js:1:526473)  at u.invokeTask (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:25649)  at a.runTask (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:21137)  at l.invokeTask [as invoke] (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:26778)  at

Hi everyone, This question is about the detailed permissions user/role management interface.We’ve been facing issues finding all permissions required to run a specific workspace, like allowing services, access to shared ressources data and to specific connexions.  The question is: Is there a hint to grant or list all these needed permissions to run a specific workspace ?  Thank’s in advance. Kevin
