FME Flow

Hi, I recently switched FME Flow Desktop to a new machine and missed exporting my web connections. Is there a way to download them from FME Hosted?

When creating an Automation, I usually use a Trigger to schedule my jobs. (FME Flow Schedule)But is it possible to create an APP whereby the user gets to choose the Date / Time to run it instead of an instant submission of the job? (User Param maybe) 

On the documentation website for FME Form, there is a section called "Installing FME Form from the Windows Command Prompt". However, I cannot find any documentation for uninstalling FME Form from the command prompt. Is there any way to do this, so that we can package the uninstall + install for updated processes? Thanks a lot.

I am trying to install FME Flow 20.23.1 on a local MS Windows 2022 Server. I am using / trying to use the silent installer. The command that runs successfully is shown below. The install.logs shows no errors and end with message: "Installation completed successfully" I have an external Tomcat instance btw. I can successfully start the FME Server by using the bat file startCore.bat. After I use this bat file, I can go to http://localhost:8080/fmeserver/ and I can login with admin / admin. Everything looks fine. When I try to start FME Server using the MS Window service created by the installer, it fails with message Error 126: The specified module could not be found I think the service fails fairly quickly in the sense that no real FME processes are started and there is nothing in the log files.  It this is a known issue with running FME Flow on MS Windows 2022 server? I checked the documentation but there doesn't seem to be specific requirements mentioned for running FM

If a user follows a direct link to a workspace app or an app gallery, and there is authentication required, a login screen appears.  If using 'normal' login with username / password, after login the user gets redirected to the URL in the workspace link., which is correct. However, if I use a Microsoft Azure AD login ('log in with microsoft'), the user always gets redirected to de base URL of FME server and not to the app. Is there somewhere a setting we should set to redirect to the url of the app instead of the base url ?

Is this a bug in FME Flow 2023.1 Build 23619 - win64?

I've followed the steps in this Article to connect my servey to my FME Servey. but I am getting following Error while I'm submitting a new Survey123 to test if it works or not and it looks like that there is no JSON file is created in View Log File  Survey submitted successfully, but an error occurred while triggering webhook. http://mvpap###/fme###/v332/automation/workflows/#######-####-41b6-#####-c4073#####/10c98c70-#####-1d82-8a29-######/messageFailed to fetch Can you please help me to solve it?thanks in advance

How to provide/use gRPC flow with FMEflow?

 hello everyone I want to produce a point from this data in text format and the XY values ​​I need are in a single stub. The FME dataset area is common for x and Y. I will bring these XY values ​​side by side and produce a point from the vertex creator, but I did not know how to do this.

Hello there, I looked into FME system parameters and Python APIs to find a programmable way to identify release info, such as 2023.2.1, etc., in an FME Form session, to no avail. I would appreciate you sharing your approaches. Bo

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to use the NeighborFinder transformer in Group-By mode to match features from SDE A on features from SDE B. I'm using Group-By to only match objects of the same type (trees with trees, bollards with bollards, etc) and with the same vertical datum class (ground-level with ground-level, below-ground-level with below-ground-level, etc.). However, some feature classes in SDE A do not have a vertical datum class attribute. Using the NeighborFinder in Group-By mode, none of my objects match, since SDE A has <Missing> vertical datum classes, and SDE B has correctly filled in ones.For these feature classes it is alright for the NeighborFinder to only use the obect type attribute. I want to avoid using multiple NeighborFinders in my workspace. I have tried constructing a special Group-By attribute, concatenating the two attributes. But I can't seem to find a nice way for SDE B to not include the vertical datum class when the SDE A featureclass

Hi,I'm trying to ingest log files into Azure monitor so I can send out organisation wide notifications but i've run into an issue. When I look into the machine that flow is installed on, I can see that it is storing logs in folders in batches of 1000 and it will create new folder each time it hits a multiple of 1000. I can process files into Azure, but this doesn't seem to work with a wildcard in the /current/ folder - it needs a folder that already exists. Is there a way to write these logs all to the same folder? The file pattern/query i'm using: C:\\ProgramData......logs\\engine\\current\\jobs\\*\\job_*.txtMany thanks, Sam

QUESTION: Is there anyway to adjust the login timeout for MS SQL connections? Periodically, I've been logging an error from the SQLExecutor transformer which appears to be related to timeout issues when connecting to a MS SQL database. The error below seems to occur at random and is hard to replicate on demand.  'Provider error (-247467259) Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection' I suspect that the connection, periodically, is talking longer then the timeout configured in FME. I know of the 'Command Timeout' parameter but as I understand it this is only applicable to the query length timeout, not the login connection timeout

Buenos días, tengo instalado FME en un equipo que va muy lento, ¿Podría desinstalarlo de este equipo lento e instalarlo en otro que acabo de comprar mucho más potente?

Hi we have FME Server 2021.3, ArcGIS Pro 2.9 installed [concurrent license - license manager on separate machine]connecting to ArcGIS Enterprise Geodatabase 10.9.1on Oracle database 21c We have a few automations running at different schedules. We have seen intermittent issues while connecting to read/write to the geodatabase. 1) Error while retrieving an ArcObjects update cursor for the table/feature class 'xxx'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147155559'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Failure to access the DBMS server [ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE] [xxx]} 2) Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase because the local version of ArcGIS is not compatible with the server's SDE version. The above 2 issues causes automation to fail Also, the following error occurs consistently for each run, but the automation carries on successfully:3) BADNEWS: Execution of statement `SELECT SDO_VERSION FROM DUAL' did not succeed; error was `ORA-00904: "S

Hi, i'm downloading a zipped shapefile from http caller (going well), saving correctly as a file, but when i try to write it to a new postgis table something goes wrong. I want to dynamically set the Table Name as "sentierisat" plus the value stored in "_timestamp" field: something like "sentierisat_@Value(_timestamp)" but what i get is actually 2 postgis tables, an empty one with the correct tablename and a second one filled with data but named only "sentierisat_". 

The link https://community.safe.com/s/article/send-email-from-automations is enough when you want to send an email from an automation but it does not cover what I'm looking for. I would like have in place an automation that will (i) detect any workspace that failed on FME server as soon as it happened and (ii) send an email to a specific email address. How should I proceed to achieve this double objective?

I have multiple files landing in a folder that is watch to trigger a wksp.2 files go together but don't always have exactly the same name. (they will be similar.) There will also be multiple folders where these files can land and be processed. I need to know several things.1 idea for parsing the file names of separate file types to get them matched into the same wksp. like maybe they land at the same time?2 is it possible to use 1 automation to watch and file both file types and use them to kick off 1 wksp? image 13 all the jobs coming in will be moved to 1 of 3 folders when process is complete using a file mover. Do i need three qutomations in my wlrkspace to tell the file mover where to move the package (both files) or can this be done with the dataset value (being parsed in the file mover wksp? see image 2 IT is also possible that files will land in both incoming locations at the same time. the file types would be the same but the file name would be different I found some inform

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to trigger an automation once a job has been SUCCESSFULLY completed BUT contains errors. See job 56207 in the attachment as an example. The automation itself should then initiate another job.  So far, I haven't found a successful way to accomplish this seamlessly and efficiently. I've considered monitoring "/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_LOG/engine/current/jobs" through an automation, but since I want it to automatically start a new job, it creates an infinite loop. The system events 'Error Message Logged' and 'Warning Message Logged' also do not allow me to trigger a new job via automations based on my conditions. I'm curious to hear your insights.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm setting up a self-serve workflow where the end-user will have to upload some files and then run them through a validation and processing workspace. The files that are needed are 1 mid/mif and 5 csv's with different schema's. To make things easier I want the user to zip them all up and upload them as a single file. I'm using a File user parameter then point that to a Generic reader which reads [somethingsomething].zip\\*.* and then use wildcards to match them to the specific feature types. This works fine if a single zip file is processed. However... this data is grouped by region and the customer indicated that sometimes they need multiple regions. Plus... features from two adjacent regions may actually geographically coincide, so the processing workspace needs to have them both at the same time.  I set up the File parameter to handle multiple files as input, split the value and then run them through a FeatureReader. That's where the i

I have filtered data from the results of a value in a field (using tester) in order to split that data in 2 - North and South.  I want to split different data from a different FGDB (with similar fields but not matching and similar area) based on the split I completed above. Is this possible? if so how would I go about completing this? Im wondering if I could add a field to the second FGDB from the first results even though the area might be slightly different ?  thanks and much apprecaited!

Hello Forum, In FME Flow's App builder I would like the word in the OK button to be 'Run' instead of 'OK'. This is because OK, is often thought of as also meaning close (yes, I know the users could just close the browser tab).  But of course, in the case of FME Flow Apps OK most definitely means 'run it'. So, it would be better if the word OK was replaced by Run.  I've looked in Flow Apps>Manage Workspace Apps>(click the App in question)>Customise, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change the wording of the OK button. Any ideas? Thanks,Stuart 

I performed the express install of FME Flow 2023. Then I restored a backup from FME Server 2021. I do not see the backup schedule promised at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Perform_Scheduled_Backup.htm. Did my restore over write it? How can I automate a backup of FME Flow?
