FME Flow

We are planning our 2024 upgrade and need to know when the anticipated release date is for FME 2024.2. We are looking to upgrade soon, but may delay some depending on the anticipated release date. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I try to upload a file to the FME Flow Shared Resource Folder via the Flow REST API. When I use Postman the request works as expected but I need to send the request in a command prompt with curl. Of course, first I tried to use the curl that can be generated in Postman but it always returns the error “curl: (26) Failed to open/read local data from file/application.  Here are the paramters for the working upload in Postman:POST https://fmeflow/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA/filesys/Test Headers Authorization: fmetoken token=1234 Body (form-data) file: test_upload.txt Postman generates the following curl:curl --location 'https://fmeflow/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA/fi

Where to get the FME for Home Use, like ArcGIS Home Use license?

Hi allI am looking for suggestions as to if FME Flow can automatically send text messages out to members of the public.  The scenario is as follows:-The day before a collection is due, FME runs an automation which finds all registered users who have signed up for notifications and live within the collection zone, and then sends a text message out to them to remind them of the collection.Any ideas if this is possible…ThanksAndy

Hi All,We are working on adding new FME Engines on a Separate Linux Machine in a fault-tolerance environment where two FME Cores have been configured. Following the FME Flow Administrator’s Guidehttps://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Adding_FME_Engines_on_Separate_Machine.htmThe install instructions have this step on the Linux section,The installer prompts you for the name of the <coreHost>. In a fault-tolerant installation, the primary <coreHost> should always be specified. Do not specify the failover host.Here we are not very clear. We have two FME Flow Cores.first, how do we know which one is supposed to be the primary or the failover host between two Cores?Secondly, if say that the first Core to start can be considered the primary, what happens to the engines on a Separate Engine if the primary Core is down?Can anyone give us some helps on this?Thanks,-John

Hi there,I have set up a webhook in Flow that is (supposed to be) triggered by a survey123 submission. I have added the webhook in survey123, saved and updated the survey on my device. I have saved and started the automation in Flow. When i submit a survey there are no event counts running through the automation and there are no logs. I have tried both with https authentication and without and have tried with another very simple survey. When https authentication is off, I can test the webhook via postman which successfully triggers the automation. This could be more of an esri question but is there anything I am missing from this webhook set up?I have other webhooks connecting power automate to my surveys and they work fine.Cheers

I'm using a FeatureReader to import Revit (*.RVT) files. I need to loop through a folder of Revit files and write the output to a GDB using the same filename as the input Revit file.I'm looking for something like fme.basename, but I can't find it anywhere, neither in the FeatureReader's geometric outputs nor in the schema. I can't find any attribute to expose that would give me the input filename. I've also tried FilenamePartExtractor, but I have nothing to put in the "Source Filename" field.What am I missing here? Thanks

I would like to either return a kmz county outline (polygon) or be able to use a polygon as input to an workspace app by typing the name of the county filter first on state then on county.I currently have a workspace app that accepts drag and drop kmz files. it filters lines points and polygons and buffers or not around the features then it hull accumulates or not. Then it does a spatial filter on a postgis db to return an aggregated table to excel file and creates a download. I recently added the kmz creation of the non aggregated features to the download.I have set up a few of the kmz county outlines but wondered about just making a dataset available and then punching in the county name to do the query for the input.I would also (pie in the sky) like to keep the drag and drop (AOI) kmz input to this app.Is this something someone has done?

Hello FME community, here’s an outline of what I’m trying to accomplish:The fmw is included as a FME Server Workspace App (Server version 2021.2.5, Build 21816 - Linux). The fmw searches for features within a specified area (drawn by the user in the map) and if features intersect the drawn area, they are bundled into a FeatureWriter and provided to the user via a DataStreaming service. This works great when features are intersected.When features are not intersected, a NoFeaturesTester (stored in the same Repository as the fmw) directs the output to create a HTML file (FeatureWriter_3), created and stored in $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP). This file says something like “No results returned, the are no features of type X.Y,Z in the extent MinX, MaxX, MinY, MaxY...etc).Each time I test the App, the html file is created and populated correctly.

 Hello,So the following issue that was suppose to be fixed with version 2018.1 and onwards is not completely dealt with The issue seems to point to an error related to UNC paths using international characters when adding Network Resources as pointed out by this article:https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407651730573-No-FME-Engines-Available-After-Adding-Network-Based-Resource

Hello FME Community,I’m encountering a puzzling issue with a Jinja2 template that I’m running through the PythonCaller in FME Flow. The template works perfectly fine on my local machine, but when I deploy the same script on FME Flow, I receive the following error:Python Exception <TemplateSyntaxError>: expected token 'end of print statement', got 'X'Context:The Jinja2 template is used to generate a Contract document with placeholders that are populated at runtime.

Hi,  I am trying to connect transmission lines to POIs using the PointonLineOverlayer but before that i wanted to dissolve all the transmission lines into a singular line/polyline. The issue I am having is that regardless of what I try I am getting breaks in the lines where there isn’t supposed to be any like in the image below.  I am trying to use a combination of the generalizer, snapper, intersector, and linecombiner transformers but these breaks still persist. I even tried to buffer the lines, dissolve and then use centerline replacer and they persisted. Would appreciate any advice on this manner. 

I have a Web Connection configured that I use in my HTTPCallers as Authentication. This works fine on FME Desktop and also works for some time after uploading to FME Server. But after an hour or so (the expiry time of the token) all workflows on FME Server fail. So my guess is that the Web Connection does not refresh the TOKEN. Do you have any recommendations?My Web Service Settings:Acces Token Request: Request URL: configured Request Data: configured Access Token Response: Token Object Key: serviceResponse.access_token Expiry Time Object Key: serviceResponse.expires_in Expiry Time Format: Duration (Seconds) API Call Parameters: Placement: Header Header Format: Authorization: Bearer [TOKEN] This is the error log I get:`_error' has value `HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized' `_http_status_code' has value `401' `_response

Hello everyone, I need to create a loop in FME 2021, this loop would allow me to be able to browse several tables of several schemas of my database to retrieve a specific column "last_update" and then sort this column to retrieve the "last update date".

Hey everyone,ich have a nice use case in our city: we want to offer a service where families can look which school is the nearest. My Idea was an app Server to create with only one field in order to type one Address. The System should calculate all the routes to the schools in the city (these addresses are known) and visualize them as a list or/and in a map as a result of the server app. Do you think this is possible? I need first of all a FME workbench with an address and a file with the school addresses and calculate the routes and I have problems to get it.  If this task is done, do you think is it possible to show as output the list with the distances and the routes in a map? many thanks in advance!

On FME Flow, can I use the same SharePoint Online Connector Webservice for the SharePoint Online Connector and the SharePoint List Reader/Writer?

I’m trying to learn how to use loops, so I’m creating a basic dissolve loop. However, no matter how many iterations I set it to run for. It seems to go on infinitely. Also, although the loop is set to ‘loop’ back to the ‘Looped’ input, it seems to keep looping back to the ‘input’ transformer?I’ve attached both the workbench and the shapefile I have been using for this test, any help would be much appreciated.ThanksB

Hi all, I need some advice for 2 issues in FME server, which are possibly related:1. Memory Issue (Insufficient memory available -- error code was 2 - please read the FME Help section 'Adjusting Memory Resources' for workarounds.):I have an issue with a workbench I’ve made in FME desktop which behaves differently when run on FME server. Both environments have the same memory constraints.The issue occurs when I try to load a handful (<5) of files into my workspace, which generally can handle upwards of 400 regular files. The files themselves aren’t much different (no odd characters that might trip the process up), but FME seems to get stuck on a subset of them, and keeps churning until all memory is used up. As mentioned, this only happens in FME Server.On failing a Job due to no memory, it tries again: (Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage

Hi folks!Trying to build am FME Flow/Server Automation where if a backend API table is updated by a user that it triggers running an FME workspace that I’ve already uploaded to FME Server.What would be the appropriate trigger to use to kick off the process? Would I have to create a webhook on the API table URL somehow to trigger based on FeaturesCreated and FeaturesUpdated?So whenever the attributes in the API table on the backend are updated, I’d want FME Flow/Server to kick off firing off that FME workspace.Thank you!

There are Workspace Parameters for Last Save Date, Last Save Build, and History.Can any of these parameters be found through the Flow interface once a workspace has been published?As I am improving a workspace, it will get published to the non-production Flow environment several times.  How can I determine which version of an FME Workspace has been published to Flow?~Ray
