Credentials to log in on FME Server in FME Labs for FME Academy.

In FME Academy I follow the trail 'Publish Workflows to the web' and use the FME Virtual Machine created in Strigo. In topic 3 Exercise: Publish to FME Server the webconnection 'Training FME Server' allready exist, so I can publish my workspace, which works fine. But in the next excercise I need to login with given credentials in topic3. I assumed I could use the same credentials but the password 'FMELearnings' is not the password I can use to login. I would like to know where I can request the correct password. It would be nice if the login to FME Server in the VM would use the same credentials as given in the exercise!

Can Azure Blob Storage be used for the FME Server System Share (i.e. in a fault tolerant configuration)?

I have previously successfully configured FME Server with an Azure File Share as the System Share using a UNC path, but have not tried it with blob storage. Is this supported? If, so how do I configure it?

Is there a simple way to determine which topics are notified by workspaces in FME Server?

I want to do a cleanup of FME Server and remove topics and subscriptions that are not being used by any workspaces on the server. Is there a way to see what topics are being used other than going through each workspace individually?

I am trying to monitor a topic (receiving email) but getting an error connecting to the monitoring service.

Port 25 is open. Any other ideas?I also find that the topic is not appearing in the publishing list - would expect the topic 'receive_emails' here but only getting the out the box ones.All created using a superuser account. Think that these maybe connected in some way, I am running FME Cloud - FME Server 2022.2.1Build 22776 - linux-x64

Why do we get a “Disk Usage” Alert (100%) when the Instance Summary shows only 56% of Primary Disk are used?

We have a Standard FME Cloud Instance. After it starts running (scheduled) we get a Disk Usage Alert saying the Disk is 100% full. But the Instance Summary shows only 56% of Primary Disk are used (7.7 of 14 GB). The Monitor shows the Primary Disk usage never was more than 56%.Why do we get an Alert? What is a possibly the reason of the inconsistency? Is there a possibility to see what is using which disk space and get the size of each directory?

Access local filesystem on my own computer in a resource?

Hi! I've made a FME Server Workspace app that makes backup files from databases and files on servers. When I run it in FME Desktop on my computer I can access my computer's file system and save the backup files on a USB stick for example. When I run it as an FME Server app I can't access my computer's file system to point out the destination for the backup files. Is there a way to do that?

How can I extract User Name from FME Database Connections?

Hello, I am trying to collect and maintain some metadata for FME Workbench, which includes the database connections attributes that each of our workbenches (.fmw files) use. We are currently using FME Desktop 2021.2 on Windows. So far, I have extracted the Database Connection information from the fme_connections.data file using a SQLite transformer. However, many of the values including User_Name are encrypted (fme_enc2). I realize I am stepping into the realm of security and cryptography - and also realize that if I gain access to the user names, I will be able to apply the same principles to passwords and other sensitive data in the Database Connections - and absolutely respect the principle of protecting secrets. That said, I am an FME administrator for my organization, and have access to both the fme_publicKey and fme_privateKey files - and am really only interested in the User Names associated with the connections. If there is a better way to collect that information than b

How to trigger an Automation when a server job fails without using the Topic protocol?

Hello! So my company has traditionally relied on Topics, Subscriptions, and Notifications (which I'll call the 'old way' for short) to send an email when a job fails on the server. It is now wanting to move into Automations, as the perception is that they fully replace the functionality of the old way (and that the old way will be deprecated at some point). I'm looking at the available Trigger protocols and see that, at a glance, the only relevant one appears to be "FME Server Topic Notified". Is this correct? Because if so, it would seem that our perception that Automations fully replace the old functionality isn't accurate, as we'd still have to rely on some of it to trigger the new one in the first place. Can anyone confirm if this indeed the case? Will there be a way to do this through Automations alone eventually?

Hi, has anyone ever tried the QGISPrinter extension (https://vstore.veremes.net/vstore/dashboard/documents/58) in a FME server treatment? thanks Fanny

Use Live Wind Direction and Speed on Basemap and Publish it on Azure Cloud

Hello everyone,I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to use live wind data with base imagery. I'm trying to create a map that shows real-time wind direction and speed, but I'm having trouble finding a reliable source of live wind data and a method to display it on my map.Do any of you have experience with this? I would appreciate any tips or suggestions you may have, such as the best sources of live wind data, how to pre-process the data, how to visualize it on a base imagery, and how to make it user-friendly and easily understandable.I tried using API call from windy.com, but not much success there.Thank you in advance for your help! I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Unable to view dashboards

I am using FME Server 2022.2 and am logged in as Admin but am unable to view the dashboards. I get a message "Please ask your Server Administrator to grant 'Access' and 'List' permissions to the Resource named Dashboards. You will not be able to view any Dashboard reports without this permission." However, when i check the user's permissions for the Admin account everything seems correct. Access is granted in the Dashboards section, and also granted in the Resources section / Dashboards to access and list. Any ideas whats going on, is this a bug, or more likely operator error....

How can I configure extract not to skip resources?

When performing a simple extraction of some objects from the Smallworld base (GIS), such objects are being ignored in the export, as you can see in the attached log. The skipped features can be seen on line 458 of the log. What makes the analysis difficult is that the export does not show any errors. Version:FME Server 2014 SP2 - Build 14339 - win32 Thanks!

Mixed Success Connecting to Floating License Server

I know there is a lot of content covering this topic already, so I'll preface this by saying I have looked through it. I looked at the floating license server troubleshooting article here and the article about serving both ArcGIS and Safe licenses here and I have run the diagnostic .bat file. My issue is this: I can connect to the floating license server without issue, but one colleague can't connect at all, and another one can connect intermittently but always seems to encounter a similar issue to the one who can't connect at all. SETUPec2 instance in AWS behind a network load balancer, with both ArcGIS License Manager 2021.1 and Flexera 11.16.2 installed. The license files for both are stored in the "License" folder for ArcGIS, and each license file specifies a unique port to use (ArcGIS Vendor: 27009, Safe Vendor: 27002). Instance firewall has ports 27000-27009 open and security group settings allowing traffic on those ports from our specific office IP's. T

Authorizations required to automatically extend a webhook's token expiry via an API PUT request

Hello! Hopefully someone can answer this! For a bit of context, this pertains to FME Server version 2020.2.2. I am working on developing a script that will be triggered in an outside application and will use HTTP requests to send information to FME Server for processing. I have a webhook set up for this and have verified that it runs successfully and the script is able to submit what it needs via an HTTP GET request. The thing is I also want to be able to automatically extend the token's expiry date through the same script. From what I understand, a PUT request would do the job...but I'm having issues figuring out how this part of the script would be authorized. My first question is: does a PUT request require some sort of special API access? Any attempts at testing are being met with an "insufficient privileges" error message even though I'm the user/owner who generated the webhook. My second question, which sort of ties into the first: since this is going to be

Data Download only outputting files from a single writer

I am new to FME server and I have been trialing creating a few apps for people to use around my organisation. One of the apps is a simple task where the user drags in an excel file and some analysis is done on it before a number of different files are written. The first writer is an excel dataset that is fanned out based on one of the input fields, the second is a set of CSV's that just summarise a few duplicates that appear in the original dataset. When running on FME desktop both files are created in the relevant folders and all appear to be complete. However when running the output zip file from the "Data Download" app only contains the outputs from the excel writer within the workspace. Do I need to set something up within FME server to tell it to expect outputs from multiple writers? I'm currently running FME server 2020.0 Thanks in advance for the help.
