FME Flow

I am starting with FME Server and can someone help me understand and learnI have a download process that runs on a virtual machine with Windows Server 2019 data center (Server 1) and it must write a file to a disk of another virtual machine that also has Windows Server 2019 data center (Server 2), but I gives permissions error. I understand that the process is executed with a user created in the FME Server, in this case of type System.My doubts are:Should the user created on the FME Server also be created as a user on Server 1 and have write permissions to the Server 2 disk?Should the user be changed in FME Server to Directory Server type or is it not necessary?

A client has a website that allows for uploading and downloading of data. That’s not the issue here. There is one button on their website that when clicked it lists all of the feature types and their last time an upload was completed. This output is in HTML.At the present time we are now realizing that the results from an FME Workspace, that is sitting on FME Server, properly formats the output in HTML. But here’s the issue … We discovered there was no job set up to run in FME Server which also means it is not set up to do anything related to automation. We have also discovered that the results of that job were just periodically being manually run and then directly uploaded to their website (We are the ones that built the site and maintain it, but none of those individuals who originally did this are with our company today).So, it was just a stagnant picture in time, and totally dependent on someone always remembering to go in every day, week, month, or year (We truly

Hi,We have installed the FME Flow on a new server and successfully licensed it. However, I do not see any available engines in FME Flow. I tried to use the old server license, then removed it and installed the new licensed version. I noticed that the workspaces are running. I checked the web connection and found it is connected to the new server, and the host is related to the new server. However, on the deployment status page, the host is related to the old server.I want to ensure that everything is related to the new server and to see the available engineswe use FME FLOW 2023

Hello,I am using FME (ESRI version) and I built a project that reads fileXX.osm.pbf. I use a clipper and schema adjustment and write this to a .gdb (ESRI). In my project, I do this for a part in Norway. All is great so far.Now I want to use the same project but with a different osm.pbf file, a different clip file, and a different .gdb. I see that the project is reading, but when writing, I get a message that it did not work because names are different. I tried to save a template and start a new project from the template, but it's the same result.I hope someone can point out what I am doing wrong here.Greetings, Peter

Hello ,I’m wondering if FME Flow can handles multiple simultaneous jobs for a single workflow . For exemple , how does the Easy Translator Demo handle the case where simultaneous translations of CSV files to SHP ( coming from different users ) without their data and their results being overlapped. Is it handled by FME Flow , or handled manually by the developers of this web app?Also in case of only one engine , how does FME Flow process this use case ?

Hi,I get the following error when trying to turn automations off, on a new install of FME Flow:Unable to disable 'run wb': 929028:SQL Query SELECT ncid, connectionname, connectiontype, servicename, username FROM fme_nc_namedconnections WHERE username IS NULL ORDER BY username DESC failed. Error: Could not find prepared statement with handle 1. I had a look in the forums about a similar error with creating db connections but that doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I also can't run workbenches using the 'Run workspace' screen as I get this error which is most likely tied to our SSL certificates? There was an error submitting the job.This is the reason for the automations - I'm having to trigger jobs through the automation screen to run any jobs Unfortunately I wasn't involved in the setup of this environment but any advice is welcome.  Many thanks,

Hello everyone,I'm currently in the process of learning FME as it's just been introduced into our projects. However, there's not much guidance available at the moment, so I'm hoping to get some help here.I have a specific task involving two values: Owner ID (OID) and associated account (AA). We have our own API service that can provide additional details using the AA. My aim is to make HTTP calls with the AA values while ensuring the control remains based on OID.DATA format example:In simpler terms, when OID is set to 1, I want to input all associated AA values into the caller (one by one of course).However, I've heard that loops aren't generally recommended in FME workflows.Can anyone advise if this is possible within FME, and if so, how I might go about it without resorting to loops?Any

Hi,I have an email attachment automation that downloads attachments to the shared resource folder, but when it is time to run the workspace I get a permission denied error on email.attachments path.FME Flow 2023.2IMAP email with client keyThe automation runs successfully if there is a single attachment and configured to run email.attachment. The problem is email signatures and multiple attachments are present most of the time so I need to run email.attachements to get down to the xlsx I need to load.Why do I get a permissions error on multi file, but not single file?Thanks,Steve

Hi Community, Even After installing ArcGIS Server License in the FME Flow machine, FME Flow Workspace is showing below error“51 2024-4-1 09:23:28 | Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220952'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The Product License has not been initialized.}”I had never experienced this issue earlier. What might be the root cause. Any body have an idea, please share your thoughts. So that I can iterate it and solve it. Thanks in Advance.   

We have an automation that has been running more than a month but now stopped working suddenly. It is supposed to read specific emails from the FME inbox. Yesterday it read the email just fine but today the email isn’t recognized and is still unread many hours later. I don’t see any difference between yesterdays email and todays email, they look the same to me. Other email-reading automations have run just fine after this one stopped working.I have tried restarting the automation, resend the mail to the mailbox but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?

I guess that’s a very easy one, but I can’t find the right answer.I created a gallery app, and the user can provide an email address to receive the results of the run.Unfortunately, while the workspace runs trough, and when staying on the page I get also a working download link for the data, the email is never sent.What I would like to know is, how I should set up the email service on FME Server. I can choose between ‘Automation’ or ‘Notification → Subscription’.The automation keeps me puzzled on what trigger I should use to say a user started the run of a workspace, and please use the provided email address to send the email. The subscription seems to be a bit more straight forward and I would aim for the Email protocol , and set the subscription topic to JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS, but then I am lost in the protocol settings when it comes to the ‘Email To- part, and to know what actually will be in the body of the email.Es

Hello,Does FME have a transformer or does HTTPCaller support Uploading to Sharefile.com.I have setup an HTTPCaller to authenticate then a FeatureRead to get the zip file then an HTTPCaller to POST and upload.  In both cases I get _http_status_code 200 but no upload.Thanks for any help,

Hi,I am very new to FME and thought this would be a good exercise to get my feet wet.However, I am having trouble locating help based on workbooks updates.I have two workbooks named A and B for the example.They both common worksheet names. I want to read both workbooks, identify the common worksheet and update from a specific location from worksheet A to a specific location in worksheet B.Cheers Steve  

Is there a way to include the errors and warnings in an Automation’s log file in an email (external action)? Which Key would this be, or do I need to create a global key that would include this information?

FME Flow 2024.0, we have engines distributed on different boxes.   I would like to remove the Default Queue on Engines on a specific  box.  I did this with FME Server 2022 using Engine assignment rules., but I am o seeing a way to do this with FME Form 2024.0.  There is no existing record for Default under Engine Assignment rules.  Any thoughts ?  

I have an automation that runs every 15 minutes on a single engine with a ‘repeat on interval’ schedule trigger. Usually, it takes less than 10 minutes but sometimes it can take more than 15 minutes and once a week on mode overwrite it takes about 25 minutes. If one of the workspaces of the automation is still in progress, is there a way to skip the trigger for the next automation?

I am trying to create FME Flow backup in order to upgrade it to the newer version.Current version is FME Server 2020.2. I am getting the following error:Tried many times and cleaned drives a bit. Previous backup was about 100 Mb. So it should be more than enough space for the new backup:  What can be wrong, how I can fix this? Thank you in advance.

Has anyone else had problems copying and pasting the Automation Webhook trigger URL? In my case, the URL text is grayed out, although when clicking the clipboard icon the response says, “Copied!”, but nothing is on the clipboard. We are running FME Flow 2023.1.2 Build 23641 - win64.

I want to integrate my Survey123 with FME.I have added a Webhook triggered event and copied/pasted its URL into Survey123.Then, I configured the Log File Added Action to log a message with the format set to 'Message content'.I initiated the automation process. However, upon adding data to the survey and checking the 'view log file', it appears that nothing is being captured by FMEServer.Is there anyone who has same issue or know how to solve it.Thank you so much in advance 

I made a deployment parameter with some email-addresses in but when I use it to send emails I get an error in the automation log, see below. I have commas between the addresses in the parameter. Default Recipients    : deployment.Fel_mail_adresser        <-------this is my parameterSending email with subject "abcd..." to recipient(s) "deployment.Fel_mail_adresser" …An exception occurred. Invalid AddressesFailed to send email.

  Hi I am using FME Server 2021, configured with high availability ( There are 14 engines configured on 2 machinesI have an automation which is triggered by reading a JMS queue. It is configured to run on a specific engine and queue. It is failing intermittently once or twice in a week. But there is no log file created. It says The log file for job ID "xx" does not exist.
