FME Flow

We are in the process of setting up our production environment.  I have enabled version control in Dev and have been committing/pushing my workbench edits to our external GIS repository.  I have connected our production environment to the same repository, but Fetch doesn’t pull down the workbenches.  Is that normal behavior, as is that user-error?  I know I can make a Project file and move them, but was wondering if I’m doing something wrong.

Hi, looking for help please. We are using FME Flow 2024.1.3 Build 24627 - linux-x64 on Ubuntu 24.04 and trying to connect to an external FTP server to transfer files from FME Flow. Our client who owns the FTP Server are asking us to authenticate with both username / password and public / private keys ; we’ve supplied our client with the public key which they’ve loaded successfully. We can connect ok manually using both username / password and public / private keys, but when we try from FME Flow it fails on the public / private key and forces us to enter the password.What we are looking for is a way to call using the public / private key and also specifying a password. 

I have multiple FME Flow/Server Apps that are used by a lot of people. We have not decided to give each individual their own account on Flow. That might be the answer, but is there a way to get the user ip address or computer name? If it is a public accessible app I know it might be tough, but I feel like it should be able to read this in the logs. 

Hello FME Folks, I know that we can run multiple FME Desktop version on same Windows Machine with same licence.Can we do that with FME Server on different Windows Server machines?We have a SmallWorld DB incompatibility for our FME Server upgrade and EO SmallWorld upgrade will happen later.SO, we have to run two FME Server environment. Is that a red flag ? OK?Thanks,Vivek

Hello there,I’m looking into finding how to decide on the actual geometry type of a MultiGeometry feature using python API.How to know which OGC type it is ? MultiPoint, MulitLineString or MultiPolygon.I need this for reporting on ingested data types. class FeatureProcessor(object): """Template Class Interface: When using this class, make sure its name is set as the value of the 'Class to Process Features' transformer parameter. """ def input(self, feature: fmeobjects.FMEFeature): """This method is called for each feature which enters the PythonCaller. Processed input features can be emitted from this method using self.pyoutput(). If knowledge of all input features is required for processing, then input features should be cached to a list instance variable and processed using group processing or in the close() met

Hello everyoneIn a project I'm working on, we use the 2021 version and the results of the processes are stored on a disk so that the user can download those results to their personal computer using the URL; for example:https://<url>/download/results/110096.zipAs we understand it, download is like an alias of the path on the disk and Results is a directory on the disk, for example the results are in G:\FME\Results and 110096 is a compressed file with the resultsThese results must remain on that disk for 3 days so that the user has the opportunity to download them, but the problem is that due to the size of the results files, the disk fills up and the processes failWe have another disk with more space. How could we change it so that the results are saved on that other disk and users have access to download them?The person who did the configuration no longer works for our company but told me that to change disks it was only neces

Does FME Flow (server) have a way to store FME workbench metadata? I can’t seem to find anything.I mean metadata about the fme workbench, for example info such as describing what it does, who its made for (customer), having some tags and a owner doesn’t cut it. Also a way to export this information would be useful. How does everyone else manage their FME Flow servers with hundreds of workbenches and automations?Open to any third party application suggestions too.Thanks.

Hi,What timezone are FME Server Schedules supposed to be operating in?I currently have a Schedule, set to “Once a Day” at 2.00am, and the job is being triggered at 1.00am each morning. After daylight savings this year, the job on the Schedule moved backward by an hour. I also currently have an Automation Trigger schedule set to “Once a Day” at 12.30am, and the job is being triggered at 1.30am. After daylight savings this year, the job on the Schedule moved forward by an hour.

Our team uses GitHub, VS Code and FME Workbench for our data engineering projects with good results. Now we want to leverage FME Flow to automate the deployment of FME assets upon a GitHub merge to the Staging and Production environments. I would appreciate any suggestions or experiences in this regard. 

I currently have a workspace that i am turning into an automation.Current workspace runs a pathname reader and samples the latest zip file in a specific folder then sends that zipped fgdb to a featurereader using path_windows attribute to get the entire file path.In the automation i am reading the initial email with attachment. I am unfamiliar with flow processes the data from email attachments. I have the attachment contains “myfilename” (I am following this tutorial) . but i will need to completely change my current workspace.I assume i just add an automation as the initiator on my featurereader. Can anyone say this is the most p

Hello,I’m actually running an instance of FME Server deployed using Safe Software’s Helm chart.The core component image version is 2024.1, and the HTTP readiness probe path is the following:/fmeapiv4/healthcheck/readiness The result of a get request is the following:{ "status": "notReady", "message": "One or more essential processes are unavailable.", "components": [ { "component": "notifier", "status": "up" }, { "component": "connections", "status": "up" }, { "component": "queue", "status": "up" }, { "component": "resources", "status": "up" }, { "component": "core", "status": "up" }, { "component": "cleanup",

Version: FME Flow 2024.0.1Build 24202 - win64Issue:Click “Backup & Restore - Create Backup” or “System configuration - System Cleanup” or “System configuration - Network & Email”, error message “Error communicating with FME Server host localhost” will pop up. All other functions works fine, I only noticed this when try to create a backup. FME Flow is accessible through http://localhost:8080/fmeserver/ 

I have a workspace that filters a folder for the newest .zip file contained within and then uses a FeatureReader to extract shapefiles out of it for further processing. This works perfectly in Form but in a Flow automation where it runs off of a folder watch, it fails with   '<filename>.dbf' is not a valid Shapefile and cannot be read.  So apparently when operating from Flow the FeatureReader is trying to read the sidecar files.  Why?  And how can I tell it to stick to .shps? Thank you

I have created an FME Server App. Is it possible to provide permission for another user to edit the App?I have granted full permission to Create Apps and also to the specific App to my other user but I get this error message when the user tries to edit the App:This Server App is owned by "admin". Only the owner or a user who can manage FME Server security permissions can edit this App.This seems to be highly restrictive.

Hello,I have a flow automation set up to send out email with attachment(s) from a workspace. The output from the workspace include files: f1.xlsx, f2.kmz, and some parameter (e.g. ‘kmzneeded’ with value Yes/No).The email will always send f1.xlsx, but depends on whether or not user draw on the map, then f2.kmz need to be attached. Right now, I configured to include the two file path in server in the email attachment ("$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/F1.xlsx" "$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/F2.kmz"), so it always emails two files (with incorrect kmz from previously run). Can anyone please help point me a direction how to handle this? Any information is appreciated. 🙏

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?

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
