FME Flow

Hi all. I am working on an automation triggered by Survey123 submissions based on webhooks. The initial part is working ok, but I am running into some strange behaviour:As it is now I have an automation with a webhook trigger that starts an action to run a workspace. This workspace parses the data from the webhook, sorts the input into various outputs depending on choices made in Survey123 and sent data to separate FME Flow Automations.Each of the outputs contain two attributes; one with a code for how the registration will be handled further downstream and one with the globalid for the Survey123 submission. To check the output I have set up one message logger and one emailer on the output route in my automation. The message definition to the logger and the email body are identical, but the globalid is only written to the log, not to the email (where I get _undefined_) 

We recently upgraded to FME Flow 2024.0 and have been struggling with an issue where access to a number of our ArcGIS Server services is being denied at the Flow level.  We were first able to circumvent this by using on-network calls using HTTP however a recent job where we use a PythonCaller to geocode addresses is failing when we attempt to hit our Address Point Locator.  Job works as expected in Form, and we have ArcGIS Server working on the FME hosts, in addition to the ArcGIS Server host that has our working services. Has anyone else experienced this so we might know where to look?  Sounds like HTTPS/SSL but I am not sure where to begin to work with our Network Engineers.  Thank you,Nicholas 36 2024-4-2 14:19:09 | Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::Exception 237 2024-4-2 14:19:09 | Python Exception <ExecuteError>: Failed to execute.

Planning to upgrade the OS After that, How to setup the FME server and configure it ?How to Migrate the Existing FME server to New machine?How to move forward with new machine?   

Hello Community,As clear from the title I want to know dimensions, although file sizes are mentioned but that is not helpful at all. I don't wanna trial and error the sizes to find a perfect one.Maybe I am missing something, please let me know.Also when I add logo it shows up in center I want to be able to adjust its position. Thank for your answer and patience.

Hello, I would like to automate a process on IFC files analysis in order to generate an Excel report per IFC file. To do this, I use the workspacerunner by giving a directory which contains all the IFC files to analyze. But I can't write Excel files in this same directory. I created an attribute containing the target directory name, but I cannot give it to my "destination data" transformer.How is it possible to customize the "destination data" transformer ?Thank in advanceBest regardsBruno

Hello,FME Desktop 2022.2.5, using OpenSSL 3.0.8.0, is being flagged by Defender as having three weaknesses: CVE-2023-0464, CVE-2023-0465 and CVE-2023-0466. I can't find anything here about these three: Is there anything known about them? CVE-2023-0465 and CVE-2023-0466 are being re-analyzed, so I appreciate that we need to wait for the outcome of that analysis, but CVE-2023-0464 could potentially be quite harmful.  Thanks,Stefan

when i trying to run this workspace from server i get this error   This FME edition does not recognize the `SAFE.GOOGLE-SHEETS.GOOGLESHEETS4' reader. Please ensure that the current platform supports this reader, the reader name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins

HelloWondering if anyone else has run into these issues when installing FME Flow 2024.1?  We’re testing an in-place upgrade process on a development system using the express installation.Engine name isn’t being updated correctly.  We changed the configuration per this post, and appears to resolve the issue . Also noticing a problem in the “Start FME Server” / "Restart FME Server” workflows.  Command line is reporting an error that seems related to the FME Database.  

In case you missed it you can now access web connection and database connection details in python now.Using the SystemCaller and PythonCallers in the past have always enabled remote code execution but since FME 2023 now your connections are also exposed. Just a reminder to never run what you don’t trust. 

Hi everyone,I have a task to automate a process which starts with a Smartsheet. I’m somehow new to FME. Does anyone know how can I add the Smartsheet to my workbench as a reader.

Hello, We are setting up a fault tolerant FME flow setup where in we have decided to use AWS RDS as FME Flow database component. First if all, is it right thing to use RDS or do we need to have a separate postgres instance installed on an EC2 machine ?Secondly, if we can use, please let me know the steps or any resource material to setup the fme flow withg RDS postgres as database component. Thanks.  

Hello, Need to know in detail on how FME Flow and ArcGIS Server licensing works. If there are 16 dynamic engines being run with 16 ESRI jobs, then does it mean that fme flow uses 16 ArcGIS server licenses? Thanks,Rajan

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

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!

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 

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.

Hi all,In our company we are using FME Flow, it's works great.Except with one workspace we get some errors. On the desktop version is works flawlessly! The error we get is about a plugin (STUF-GEO) that cannot be loaded:144 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | File C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\metafile\STUF-GEO.fmf could not be opened 148 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | Could not load module 'C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\plugins/STUF-GEO.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' 149 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | Could not load module 'C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\STUF-GEO.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' 150 2024-7-3 21:48:01 | This FME edition does not recognize the `STUF-GEO' reader.

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.

We have recently installed FME Flow and FME form 2024, while trying to publish fme workspace, connection get established but after closing and opening FME Form again it failed to connect to FME Flow. Is there restriction from license side or some hanging connection issue which is not closed after first connection, I tried restarting application and even serve but it didn’t help . I have attached screenshot.

Hi!I need help in configuring FME Form to run RCaller.FME is not local in my machine; instead, I'm remoting in to a server to run Form from there. It's prompting me this error message:    RCaller (InlineQueryFactory): Failed with exit code 1 when executing R script. Output was: Error in library("sqldf") : there is no package called 'sqldf'    Execution halted    Failed to execute scripted code.I followed the steps indicated in https://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/rcaller.htm. I configured the default paths and R Plugin files in: "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.1\bin\Plugins" and the Plugins folder contains the following files:    assertthat    BH    bit    bit64    blob    chron    DBI    digest    gsubfn    magrittr    memoise    pkgconfig    plogr    prettyunits    proto    RCpp    RSQLite    sqldfI am not sure what's causing the error. Any help or piece of advice greatly appreciated.Thanks,Wilfredo 

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   

Hi,  I am using FME Flow (desktop) and I need to make workspace for producing map reports (image or PDF) like a layout in QGIS or ArcGIS, but as I know it is not so easy. What I need:a basemap (preferred areal, but standard would be good as well)  visualize my line layer georeferenced on the top of it some additional informations (tables, map legend etc.) around the map Does anyone know an easy solution/approach fir this, or FME is simply not for such a visualization and I should search for other tools to do it?  Thanks for the help!  

Good morning,I amplanning to upgrade FME 2018 server to FME 2023 , I have 200-250 ETL in 2018. Usually how many ETLs in 2018 will be impacted on the average when upgrading to FME 2023.  On the average, how long it takes to upgrade from FME 2028 to FME 2023, the whole process. I know it depends on the organization setup but just in general how long it takes to upgrade. Thanks
