Use of fmeobjects (python)

I have a workflow which calls Workspaces from a python script (Python 3.7.2 running in Spyder). Because of an issue/bug I encountered, I was advised to install the newest version of FME and see if the problem persists. Now I cannot get my scripts to work again. This works:sys.path.append("C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeobjects\\python37") import fmeobjects (...) runner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner() (...)runner.runWithParameters(ws, parameters) (...) This doesn't:sys.path.append("C:\\Program Files\\FME2022_2_3\\fmeobjects\\python37") import fmeobjects (...) runner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner() (...)runner.runWithParameters(ws, parameters) All I did was change the path from the old installation to the new one.It fails, saying the module is not found File "c:/data/data.py", line 24, in <module> import fmeobjects ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. It seems it actually finds "fmeobjects", but something else is missing. I suspect some underl

installed FME Server upgrade and now can only use the web interface logged onto the server.

This morning I could use a remote browser to connect (non https) to our fme 2020.1 server. I'd been tasked with upgrading to 2022.1.2. All steps complete, express install, port 80 and the web interface on the server works fine. However, I now cannot connect from any remote browser. Today this has happened on 2 machines, 6 weeks ago I did exactly the same on our dev server and it all worked fine and remote connection is OK. I've looked at the troubleshooting guides etc and all looks ok, I'm close to hoping it just goes away!

How to Use FTP Directory Automation Trigger when you have a proxy

The proxy documentation states that proxies are not support for automations. How do I set up my automation and/or proxy to use the FTP Diectory trigger when a proxy is in place?Curently when I add the FTP details to the FTP Directory Trigger and try to validate the connection i get the following error: Invalid - Connection attempt timed out. Verify that the port number and security type are correct. I have tried all the combinations of secutiy settings available and get the same error each time.

Submit json data using FME REST

Hi folks I know this question has been asked before and there is a way to post json data directly via an HTTP Post Request as described here. The thing is that the web developer needs: An async processA download jobAnd the Job-ID returned back (which would work out using the param "opt_responseformat=json" when using http post - but it returns actually too much information which I see critical in terms of security) Regarding FME REST, I could not figure out how I ever could submit a job together with a JSON to be processed via FME as a result from the users selection on the frontend. The "fmerest/v3/transformations/submit/" would not accept my JSON to be used in the published parameters (I chose a simple text parameter to be fetched in FME for further processing). However, I get a 422 response (unprocessable entity). Do you have any suggestions what I can do here? Any alternatives that might work out better? Any help / hint is appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Server Application : How to create a dropdown menu for dashboards ?

Hello,I am currently working on a Server App that displays different dashboards.Based on a published parameter the user can select one dashboard and is lead to the one selected. To fascilitate the usage I'd like to introduce a drop-down menu (bearing the names of all published parameters options) on the very same page as the dashboard. So far I managed to do the menu:<form method="post" action=""> <p> <label for="pays">Quel dashboard ?</label><br> <select name="dashboard" id="Dashboard"> <option value="ctrl_job_dr">exemple1</option> <option value="ctrl_job_semaine">exemple2</option> </select> </p> </form> <input type="submit" value="Envoyer"> Just inserting a link (href) does not work in this case for the link does only point to the fmw file.Here's the request I get when I select a dasboard:Does someone has an idea of how to put that into an html for

Workspace app to send a email containing a link for downloading the result data (like a workspace does)

Hello. I would like a workspace app to send an email containing a download link for the data package that this same workspace app has created by running, just like the workspace that workspace app is built on does. I have gone through the forum and I realize that there are many answers on this issue as it has been brought up before, such as emailer in workspace, httpCaller, automation, FME automationWriter, email address as a published parameter.... But I kind of need it hand fed to me, how do I do this for dummies, steps from A to Å? My workspace has no emailer in it or anything at this point, it just reads in data and clips it and writes out the result. Published to the Server as Data Download service and works 100% when run as workspace, sends the email and all. Nota bene Server is 2021.2.6 So any help would be greatly appreciated.

web application interface is slow

We operate currently the FME Server 2022.0.0.2 on the Windows Server 2022 Standart platformCompared to FME Cloud is web application interface slower.This mainly concerns the entry of files in "Published Parameters" when starting the application from the gallery (or directly starting the workbench),when after dragging the file, it is loaded according to the 100% indicator, but then it takes up to several seconds before the actual file name is displayed.We used chrome verse 103.0.5060.134 Don't know what the problem could be? Thank you for answer.

Long File Paths - Over 260 characters

After enabling long file paths in all the proper locations there are still long file path restrictions on the FileCopy writer. Am I missing something? I ended up using a PythonCaller to get around this restriction, but thought I would bring up the issue so it can be updated or fixed. Thanks

Alternative to email trigger to check for emails at an exact time

We need to check an email account for new emails at an exact time of the day and the poll interval of the email trigger isn't helping us.We have to configure a 5 minutes interval to get close to the time we want. So why check an email account every 5 minutes when you only need to check it twice a day (7 am and 7 pm)? We have tried different poll intervals but the polling behaviour is always the same: it adds a few extra minutes to the interval and the number of minutes added change every time. Is there an alternative to using the email trigger to check for new emails that let us fix a time it should be checked?

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!

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?
