Is it still possible to automatically create Gmail drafts?

Dear community, I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dbRKOj-1zw) and this forum (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080h9MY/drafting-of-gmails-automatically) about the possibility to create Gmail drafts. However, I am not sure if this is still possible? Please let me know how I could achieve this.Thank you!

Python: No module named Platform

When running FME Desktop and set the Scripting to Esri Python 3.6+ or other Esri Python version and adding an PythonCaller or PythonCreator the workbench fails and gives an error. This bug seems to be related with Windows removing all Icons form the Start Menu. Reinstalling ArcGIS Pro seems to fix the problem.

Batch Merge LiDAR tiles (.asc).

I need to merge individual 1km2 LIDAR tiles in .asc format to form a single layer. I have a table (.xlsx) which lists the .asc files, their folder location and the site reference they are associated to. I have read the table into FME and using a FeatureReader and can open all the .asc files and by using the RasterMosaicker, and Reprojector I can combine the the .asc files and output the merged LiDAR. This works fine for a single site. Of course when I add further sites to the table I end up with all the LiDAR merged into a single feature. How can I set up FME to iterate through the table merging the necessary tiles and produce a single LiDAR output before repeating the process for the remaining sites?

did you ever lose deported engines from core server ?

Hello ! We have 1 core server and 2 engines servers in 3 differents VLANs, all needed ports are open and tested but without an application job, the core server loses the engines independently after 2 hours maximum. We need to suppress the engines in the hosts section and to re-add it to restore the engine. We worked around network questions, we opened all ports for tests, around systems (applicative services still running), we tried to modify the fmeEngineConfig.tx but no way. Could you please help us ? (french systems)Thank you !

connection timed out error: Postgres

I am trying to convert an old script that loads 100+ tables in Postgres to a FME Server automation. One of the things I am doing is a INSERT INTO schema1.table SELECT * FROM schema2.table with a SQLExecutor where schema2 is a Oracle foreign table. This works fine for some smaller tables, but for a large table around 33gb I eventually receive a 'could not receive data from server: Connection timed out' error whether I run it on desktop or server. This worked fine when run from the script. I'm at a loss here, what could be causing the problem?

Automation HTTP Request not able to access job variables

We've been using automations to run jobs, and then report the status back to Teams using an HTTP Request to call a Teams webhook. This was working fine in 2021.1, but since upgrading to 2022.2 the teams message now shows the job variable names, and not the values. The issue seems to occur somewhere within the Adaptive Card format - as I can use a very simple JSON object in the HTTP body of the HTTP Caller (eg. { "text": "{job.id}" } )- but it seems as soon as the variable call is enclosed in square brackets - it won't populate the value. Am I making some silly reference mistake?(Attached HTTP Caller body.)

Two FME server VMs in azure throwing authentication error while accessing the fme server url

We have two FME machines (FME1 & FME2) hosted in azure and is been accessed via a DNS name URL (e.g. fme.domain.com). Issue: If both the VMs are running, the the fme server URL is throwing authentication error and not allowing us to login. If one of the machines (anyone) is removed from azure, then the FME URL is launching fine.What could be the reason? From our initial investigation, we found that the machine keys of both the machines are different, but the serial numbers are same.

Write to multiple sheets to the same CSV file, but data is coming from 2 difference sources/streams.

As the title implies, I have a workspace where two different workflows have to write to the same CSV but different sheets. How do I go about doing that? I've attempted to use fme_feature_type as CSV File Name but that resulted into 2 separate CSV files as depicted by the image attached

Correct method for tracking automation failures

Issue: During the Christmas break, one of our automations failed regularly due to an account issue. I did not get any notifications and only upon my return and a manual review did I see this issue. Question#1 : What is the correct method for tracking automation failures. Can the system send email notifications with the associated error message. If so, how do I do this ( note: my knowledge in the product are still basic ) Question#2 : We are scanning workspace logs from the logs folder , but where are the automation logs ? Many thanks in advance for any assistanceOliver @ EGW

I am trying to do a pg_dump using command line in the system caller. It is failing, when i implemented the same command in the linux terminal, it is prompting for the password. I tried all the ways to pass the password value, nothing has worked out.

I tried to find an alternative transformer for the system caller to do the pg_dump, but even that did not work out.

SELECT NETWORK FILE

I want to build an app that will prompt the user to select a file.the file is on our network. I have set a resource for the root folder and set this resource as a parameter in my workbench. (It would be nice if the user could not change this) The first required prompt (parameter will allow the user to select 1 subfolder of the resource folder. Then i have specific values for 2 other subfolders that will be supplied and added to the root and the first selection. The second prompt will be a single file in the now complete folder structure. This folder will then be supplied to the output where the file will be written with the same name + datestamp.I have what i think are the parameters built in my workbench but don't get the path built correctly.I am trying to buld the path like this.$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)$(SELECT_PROJECT_ROOT_FOLDER)\\PROJECT_DATA\\WORKING\\$(SELECT_PROJECT_FILE)any ideas on how to accomplish this?

dwg writer getting feature that is not created

I am using shapefiles to create multple attributes for dwg OD table output.I have a dwg that does not have a feature for this output. (I am writing this to use in fme server). I use a tester to divert the shapefile feature out of the output stream. but the feature gets created in the dwg regardless.I tried putting a NoFeatureTester to try to keep this from happening. HOW does this feature get through the tester?in the screenshot. the feature that is in the NoFeatureTester ends up in the dwg.

Overlay Two Vector Datasets with Satellite Imagery

Hey Community, I am trying to map generators/power plants and substations for Texas(ERCOT) region in US. I have got one datasets from HIFLD and the other that I have already(my org). I have created a workbench that preps the data and compares the two data for generators. Also, there are a lot of substations that have got 'Unknown' names and is not possible to compare the two. Is there a possibility where I can run the workbench and it compares the two datasets with satellite imagery(Bing Aerial, OSM, Earth street) and provide a validation result.

Has anyone been able to setup a outgoing webhook from MS Teams with a message that can then be passed into a parameter?

Hi, I have a number of outgoing webhooks from MS Teams that call tasks to run in FME Server that then respond back with a message in MS Teams. That's great but I would also like to be able to pass messages into parameters. e.g. From MS Teams send this: @FME Server 'check this' The 'check this' could then be received into a new parameter and used by a workbench job. Has anyone had any luck doing this? Many Thanks!

Is there more flexibility that I am not seeing with FME Server Schedule?

It seems like this should allow for more itemized day selection, week selection, month selection. We want to setup multiple automations and it does not seem like I can do that, exactly.

How do I upload/post PDF files to Survey 123 Portal

How do I upload/post PDF files to Survey 123 Portal? I tried using both the put & post options in HTTPCaller transformer as well as FeatureWriter. It appears to work as I did not encounter an error message but the files don't get actually written in the portal. I guess it could be the HTTPCaller settings but I'm at a lost how to set it. Please advise what I'm doing wrong , or any sample FME script with httpcaller settings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in heaps! Wilfredo
