FME Flow

I create a simple FME Flow App - the user enters a word to search content. The FME workspace put the results into a html file under Resources/Data. I want put a link to this html file on the Flow App page to allow the user to click the link and open the html file in the browser to see the content. Can this be done?

Has anyone else run into issues with how things are displayed in FME Flow 2025.2.1 Examples: Engine Assignment Rules - we have two hosts which differ in name by suffix only. The way engines are displayed on the Engine Assignment Rules tab means you can’t quickly tell which engines are assigned as the critical bit is displayed as … (the full names are available on mouseover) The hostnames displayed in No proxy also have their urls partially replaced with …. so there appears to be no way to actually check via the user interface what values are entered here. In 2024.1 these values were displayed in full 

Hi Community,I tried to use a DB Connection as Deployment Parameter and set it as Default value in the User Parameters in Workbench as shown in Screenshot below. However when I publish this workspace to Flow the User Parameter with DB Connection is empty and I need to select again the DB Connection manually (2nd Screenshot).Is this an expected behaviour? In my logic the User Parameter should be set automatically (works like this e.g. for Text Deployment Parameters as User Parameter). A workaround I found was to delete the User Parameter before deployment then the Job in Flow uses directly the correct DB Connection.Thanks for your response in advance - BR Kai. Deployment / User Parameter Settings in Workbench

Is there any way to cancel a system restore, it appears to be hung at  Unzipping migration package stage for 1.5 hours now.  I think the file system/network glitched during the process.  There is no cancel in the UI, no jobs running.  

Hello!After an update from FME-flow 2024 to 2025 and after the update some roles are not able to open the repositories under workspaces. They get the message ‘Unauthorized request by user <user> due to lack of proper permissions or the object does not exist’. I'm a superuser and able to open the repositories. Is there a new option under User Management I'm not aware of? Or does someone know a solution?

Hi there,Just finished a fresh install of FME Flow 2025.2.1.I was configuring the backups and noticed that the output files were not getting a timestamp.Looking at the httpcallers they both submit using the non-timestamped attribute:If Append Date is No:If Append Date is yes:What it should be: Thanks,Marc

Hi all,I am struggling to get the following to work. In my IT environment we use APP-v to deploy FME workbench. Now I want to automate the license within the package. So I installed FME workbench but is automatically opens the licensing manager, which is nice but I want to specify the license myself. What file can I make that I can implement in the application so it instantly recognizes its license. I tried the admin guide but did not work. We have floating licenses.So what file can I make to specify the license within the application, so that users don't have to enter it themselves. 

When setting up an automation trigger using Amazon SQS I get the above error. Is this something anyone has seen before? It might be our firewall. We do use a proxy server that has had certificate issues before. Sometimes we have to ignore SSL warnings.

I have FME Automations that use the “FME Flow Schedule”.  In the “FME Flow Schedule”, I am using the Schedule Type “CRON Expression”.  Is there a way to get a report for all the “FME Flow Schedule” from all the FME Automation so that I can know when an FME Automation is scheduled to run?

Is it possible to turn off the “Browse Resources” button or make browse file system larger in FME Flow apps? Here is a screenshot of what i’m referring to.   

Currently doing some testing after upgrading FMEFlow to 2025.2.1It appears that the validate button on the JMS trigger now just returns an ‘Invalid Parameter’ message Previously it produced something slightly more descriptive.i.e. Failed to find JMS object / Realm is currently not reachableIs a more detailed message available in a log somewhere, if so where should i look? I have it all set up and working correctly in 2025.2.1, this is just for future reference.

Hello,  So I have a platform that utilizes Fire Hose API for their data stream. My stream will have thousands of changes a second. I need to connect to this stream, clean/filter the data, and have the data end up showing on an ArcGIS webmap. What would the path be? I am not exactly sure how I connect the firehose stream to FME (I have flow and form). My thought process is Connect Firehose to FME (not sure how, not HTTPCaller right?) → Create data stream to process data → connect stream to GeoEvent Server → Display on Webmap? Is my thought process accurate? Any help is appreciated!

Hi there,In this article (Configure user attribute mapping with Azure AD SAML Provider – FME Support Center), a group claim can be setup to pass an AD group name which aligns to a role in FME Flow. As a group claim could be based on a search criterion and many AD groups could be returned which is a common method of Enterprise group membership in ArcGIS Enterprise software. I was wondering if this could be used to grant several roles to a user?Looking at controlling access to repositories, who can view workspace and who can run a job, etc via AD group assignment.Thanks

Is there any way possible to send an HTTP Response after receiving a webhook trigger in FME Flow Hosted Automations? I am attempting to set up an automation that runs in response to webhooks coming from Monday.com, however before I can start configuring the actual webhooks, monday.com requires verification that I have control of the endpoint. I need to do this by having the platform send a JSON challenge to the endpoint URL, which must then be responded to with an identical JSON POST body. I believe it must also be returned with a status of 200. Documentation on setting up monday.com webhooks here. I have tried to accomplish this by adding a workspace after the webhook trigger to pull the IP address that the challenge request was sent from from the HTTP headers, an

I have an FME workbench that performs change detection logic and outputs features using the Automations Writer. This workbench is triggered within an automation, and downstream workbenches receive their input from the Automation Writer output.Most of the time, everything works as expected. However, on rare occasions, the workbench fails with the following error:AUTOMATIONS Writer: FME Flow error: 'Blocking request exceeded 10s' I would appreciate any suggestions or possible workarounds to prevent or handle this issue.​@ebygomm ​@redgeographics ​@hkingsbury ​@danilo_fme ​

I’ll try to make this really quick. We are trying to automate running several FME Form jobs. Each one will execute in line in the automation. The reason is we want them to stop if even one job fails and to send an email (External Action in FME Flow Automations). Being new I’m having issues trying to get the Email to work. I’ve tried various things with no luck. Is there anyone out there with experience on setting this up through Office365? I just want to know if I post this image of the settings if you might be able to tell me which are the most important to focus on. Also, any other pitfalls, internal flow steps, or even external steps I need to be taking. FYI: I’ve cleared out some of the settings in the attached image.Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge!!!

Hello all,I have a MapInfo table on a file server, that gets edited by users and I need to make sure it is packed each night.Is there a way that FME Server (FME Flow) can perform a pack on a MapInfo table in place?

Good afternoon fellow FME enthousiasts,I'm struggling with the following. I'm trying to set up the System Email settings on our FME Flow to allow users to request a password reset. It all seems pretty straightforward but can't get it to work. Maybe i'm missing something though (it is friday afternoon after all). I've set it up as follows: But when i validate it I get the error:“Due to a configuration change made by your administrator or because you moved to a new location you must use multi factor authentication to access…...” Emails through emailers in workspaces ran on flow work like a charm, but this one keeps evading me. Any help would be appreciated.

So not specifically about FME, but very useful nonetheless:https://thecodingkitty.com/videosShort videos explaining IT concepts, with cats 😺. A lot of them are quite relevant to FME Flow.

I have a folder with hundreds of DWG files. We are moving away from CAD software and so wanted to convert our existing DWGs into SVGs for future compatability with new apps

Dear Community,i am experiencing a strange behavior from our FME Server when uploading/publishing a FME Desktop workspace in FME Server.Previously, it was possible to publish workspaces from FME Desktop to FME Server.Recently, publishing from FME Desktop is no longer possible, nor is it possible to upload workspaces to FME Server via the Web UI.I only receive very little information about the error in FME Desktop ,also with the debug logging.The following excerpt from the log:Successfully retrieved service properties.Retrieving service parameters for ‘geodatabase_sde2none.fmw’...No service parameters found.Uploading as ‘geodatabase_sde2none.fmw’...Publish failed - FME Flow encountered an error.When I upload a workspace in FME Server via Web UI, I get the following messages in the network console of the Browser:Get Call <FME-Server-URL>/repositories/{repository}/items/{item}returns a 404

If someone chooses to use FME Flow for Connection Storage in FME Form, how does it work when the FME Flow connection is changed from one environment to another?Do the connections automatically switch to those defined in the second environment, or does the Connection Storage need to be updated each time?Will the Deployment Parameters follow the change?

HiWe are currently using FME Server 2021.2.1 on one of our servers, and we have identified a security vulnerability in this version. We would like to know if there are any available patches to resolve this issue. Please note that our ArcGIS Enterprise version is 10.9.1. We are concerned that upgrading FME Server to a newer version may cause compatibility issues with our current ArcGIS environment. Could someone please advise on the best way to solve this issue?

I have some daily automations set up to update feature layers in our GDB from a rest endpoint. There are instances when the workspace cannot connect to the source to read in the features and therefore fails the job. I have retry parameters set on the run workspace action as follows: number of attempts 1, wait between attempts 5 seconds, backoff multiplier none, randomization factor none, max wait 1 minute. Having the retry as been helpful but causes us to recieve multiple emails. Specifically, if the job succeeds we recieve 1 email that it was successful. If the job fails both attempts, we recieve 2 emails that it failed both attempts. If the job fails the first and succeeds the 2nd attempt, we recieve one failure and one succeess email. We have some users who are only set up to recieve failure emails and therefore are not aware that the 2nd attempt was successful.Is there a way to configure the retry parameters or automation to only send an email on the final attempt?

Hi!I have had trouble fully understanding how to setup the ArcGIS Server license on the FME Flow VM. I cannot seem to find clear documentation online to walk admins through this process. I understand that an ArcGIS Server license needs to be on the same machine as FME Flow if workflows contain ArcSDE and gdbs.If possible, can someone please provide steps, or link to an article that clearly walks through this setup? For some background, my organization has an Esri Enterprise environment, but I have no idea if when walking through the setup if a new site needs to be created, or if I’m supposed to join our existing site, or if joining an existing site could disrupt our Enterprise environment if things arent setup correctly on on FME Flow machine.Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
