De-install custom python (The User-specified library ...python37.dll could not be loaded)

We used to need custom python on FME-Server. I’m no system administrator, but I had found out how to install it (Using Python with FME Flow (safe.com)).Now we updated to FMEFlow 2024 and we don’t need custom python anymore, so I didn’t install it. but obviously it is still registered somewhere that we used to need a different python.dll, for I get the warning “The User-specified library ...python37.dll could not be loaded”. How can I reset everything to default-settings? I tried it with this: <FMEFlowDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Use Custom Python 64" falseand restartet the FMEServer-services, but the warning remains in the log.Thanks, Vera Update:I ran this command as well to reset to the standard python.dll:<FMEFlowDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Python Interpreter 64" "C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\fmepython312\python312.dll"Now I get this warning:The PYTHONHOME `...' for the user-specified Python interpreter set through

Upload Files with REST API

Hi, is it possible to upload a file to the FME Flow shared resource folder through the Flow REST API? I tried to setup a POST request for https://fme.oebb.at/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/<resource>/filesys/<path> but get a 415 Unsupported Media Type Response. I used the following parameters in Postman:In this example I want to upload the text file “test.txt” to the shared resource folder “Test”. Is there a problem with the request, or is this the wrong approach for uploading a file via the REST API? The goal would be to provide a means for external applications to upload files that are then processed by FME Flow. Thank you for your help!

Setting up a web connection in FME Workbench with OAuth2

Hi there, we are looking at making an OAuth2 connection so that we can pull back JSON files from our Asset Management System in TechOne so that we can then populate our SQL data. I thought FME Workbench would be a lot cleaner than using Python, however I am struggling to connect when setting up a web connection. I receive “an error has occurred” when testing. Out of the three requirements I am unable to set the third one, which is most important. This being grant_type in the body needs to be set to “client_credentials”. Is there any way to change this? I read that you can’t so trying to see if there is a workaround.I read online some are suggesting a REST API but not sure if that’s the way to go in FME Workbench.Regards,Josh

Sudden server app token permission change in FME Server/Flow 2022.2.x ?

Hi all.Our FME Servers using version 2022.2.x have been running fine for over a year now, but suddenly (in the last month or so) the existing server apps have begun to fail, stating missing token permission to server and database connections as the cause.What’s causing this sudden change in behaviour ?The server apps have been running without problems until this started.Cheers. EDIT: It worked June 27 but failed June 28.

A Feature Information Window pops up when starting Form 2023.2.3.0. This was an install package from our IT group so there could be something from packaging causing this.

FME FLOW - working workspace got stuck without errors

Good morning all, I have a working workspace, I run it from FME FLOW and it gets stuck after a while.It doesn’t show any error or warning.I suppose that the problem could be due to a CSV WRITER, it seems that the process got stuck seding the result of a filter to the CSV WRITER. Then I found the solution, altough the workspace was run from the admin user and the user is the owner of data folder, I provided the authorization to data folder to admin group.The task ended with no errors.

Seeingh when a scheduled event last run in FME Flow

Hello Forum., This sounds like it’s a straightforward function. I’ve looked but can’t see an obvious way of doing it. I’m looking at FME Flow>Schedules>Manage Schedules. I want to be able to see the last time that a selected schedule item actually run. A bonus would be to see a successful/not successful flag too. Alternatively, this information could be captured in a log. But there doesn’t appear to be log option on that page, nor is there a column stating last time run. Or am I just missing it? Thanks,Stuart

Choosing which items to export

Hey peeps, I'm currently trying to import a project to FME Flow. The problem is that when I only try to select the relevant items for that environment, it still imports and overwrites the other categories. For database connections I don't experience any problems. There is an option to choose whether to overwrite the existing ones or not on the third page. But for all the other items it seems to be all or nothing. Any advice that doesn't tell me to exclude the items from the project, would be welcome.

Can not see 'Register Service' when publishing workspace to server

Creating files in Network Shared Folders using FME Flow

Hello,I’m trying to write files into a Shared Network Folders via an automation in FME Flow running a workspace.The Shared Network Folders were mounted onto the VM Server and then added to the Resources in the FME Flow app with the credentials from “user1”.After adding the shared network folders to the Resources in FME Flow I can see the files and folders inside them and I can download and read the files and folders via the FME Flow interface without problems. But when I’m trying to upload files/folders or create a folder directly in the share it gives me an error indicating issues with access rights. I find it weird that I can see, read and download folders but not upload them, but I guess it is because the credentials used by FME Flow to access the shared network folders are not the ones from “user1” but from the service user account that FME Flow uses, like “fmflow” user or something like that.Question is how can I find out what is the user used by FME Flow to access the shared netw

FME Flow 2024.x URL

In the 2024.x versions of FME Flow, will the URL continue to contain ‘fmeserver’ or will it be changed to ‘fmeflow’? Example: https://mydomain/fmeserver vs. https://mydomain/fmeflow If, by default, the URL will continue to have ‘fmeserver’ in it, can we change that in a configuration file?Asking as we may need to run both FME Server 2022.x and FME Flow 2024 in parallel while migrating some legacy 32-bit Esri solutions. Thanks,Mark

Best way of syncronizing job between 2 servers?

We are slowly moving from an old platform to a newer, in this case FME 2018 to FME 2023. We cant move all our scripts at the same time so we need to find a solution that can be handled over a period of time. We have a lot of  flows which uses a startscript and a lot of subscripts. Each flow is dependent on that specific other flows has ended before next one starts. Example:We have three flows, A, B and C. A must be done before B can start. B must be done before C can start and so on. In todays solution we run the flows on the same engine which will secure that some flows has ended before next one starts. All our jobs are scheduled but it doesn’t matter if flow A is taken a little longer time than normal because even if flow B is scheduled to run 02:00 AM but flow A finishes at 02:25 AM, flow B is queued and will start as soon as flow A ends. But if we just move flow B to the new server we have a little problem. It can’t start before flow A is finished which runs on the old server. What

Rerun canceled job automatically

In FME Flow, you can set up automation so that a workspace restarts if the job fails. However, if a job is canceled (for instance, it exceeds the max. queue time), this is not possible. Or have I missed something?

Let end users decide whether to trigger a second workspace based on results form first workspace?

Hi, I’m looking for the best way to let end users decide whether to trigger a second workspace based on result (html data stream service) from first workspace. Is it possbile at all using eg. an automation app? If possible I also want to make use of the same parameters in both workspaces to make sure the geographic extent is the same.My case is that workspace 1 runs some calculations to get costs. These costs need to be accepted by end user (Yes/No) before ruinning next workspace which produces som files. If possible I want to make use of the same parameters in both workspaces since it should make use om the same geographic extent.Thanks for any ideas

Error processing multiple files FME Flow/Form

Why was the "Reset" button removed from FME Flow Schedules?

I’m not sure what version of FME Flow this feature was removed in, but in versions prior to 2023.1, there used to be a “Reset” button on the Schedules page so if any parameters were changed in the FME Workspace, you can just press the “Reset” button and it would automatically update the parameters based on the workspace.That functionality is now gone, which makes it slightly more difficult and inconvenient to update schedules.You can see in the screenshot below, that I took from an FME Server 2018 training manual, that the “Reset” button exists. But in this screenshot below in our FME Flow 2023.1 environment, the “Reset” button is not there. While it’s not a big deal, it is a minor inconvenience and I’d like to understand the logic behind Safe removing this functionality.

Using Arcpy python3.x and additional libraries like pymssql

Hello.

I found this article but for the server it’s a dead link https://support.safe.com/s/article/choosing-a-different-python-interpreter-installati Is there a similar way for arcgis pro and python3 to use pymssql in FME Server/Flow?
