FME Flow

Hi Folks - I would like to use the FME Server API to get a list of the Web Connections that a workspace uses. I see that there is an endpoint for GET /repositories/< repository >/items/< item >/parameters , but this doesn't provide details regarding the Web Connections configured for the workspace.  I currently have a query like:http://domain.com/fmerest/v3/repositories/repo_name/items/workspace_name.fmw/parameters ... and wondering how to change this to get the Web Connection details as well. In the implementation notes of the endpoint above I see the info below, but I am not sure how to use the create a query using the "Sub-type: Web Connection Parameter"  Sub-type: Web Connecti

I added a new row of info in Attribute Manager in the workspace. This row needs to be added in the Service request on Cityworks. Would republishing the workspace with same name brings in those changes in the Service Request, provided the source will include the new row ? Any insights are highly appreciated.

When enabling feature caching, there is a 'considerable' lag when trying to interrogate the cached features from an output port: usually have to wait 10 -15 seconds to expand the table attribute fields or sort the attribute fields, for instance. When clicking elsewhere to do another activity and returning to the cached features output, the same lag time is experienced. I though the idea was that cached features would be stored virtually, so they wouldn't have to be re-loaded each time? The lag is even present when only interrogating a handful of features. Are there settings that can optimise this to reduce the lag/remove? I do use a VPN to access the workspaces from OneDrive (there workspaces are not stored locally). Version: 2022.2.3.0 (20230131 - Build 22789 - WIN64) 

Patching our backend oracle database should the FME server be stopped while the update occurs?

Hi all,What is the correct process to delete admins from FME Server. I deleted 3 fmeadmin users, testing before that any schedules or automations would be assigned to another user etc. Today many of our schedules who are owned by a completely different user are not working. They also don't work if I do a manual trigger. Recreating the schedule does work. Re-adding the user doesn't.  I see in the Completed jobs that the schedules that ran before I deleted user have a reference to a Deleted user. I think the only way to fix this is to manually try to trigger each of our 25 job and recreate the schedule on acceptance and production.  Any other ideas would be appreciated. And it would be interesting to know what is the correct procedure? Did I miss something? We are using Server 2021 but this server has been upgraded with an old backup since approx 2015 version.    

I have a workbench that reads/writes CSV files to a network location. It works fine from my desktop but when published to FME Flow i get permission errors reading and writing. What user is FME Flow using to read/write to the network? any other workaround

FME Form 2023.2 installed produce always a memory Error at startup : "The instruction at 0x00007FFC9A16C1D0 referenced memory at 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. The memory could not be read."Click OK to terminate the program. The environnement is VMWARE Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, 16GB RAM, 4 CPU. This same machine runs FME 2020.1 32bits and 64bits with no issues.I have désinstalled ,reboot, reinstalled the FME product , same issue. If this is a know issue , is there a configuration to change ? How to troubleshoot ?  Thanks 

When creating an automation, I find that the "Next Action" boxes will just clutter the workspace and I end up deleting them anyway. Is there any way that anyone is aware of, that they can be hidden by default? Typically, I setup data downloads to refresh data from various other agencies. So I have a single Trigger, which then executes / queues, multiple workspaces. They can definitely be useful if creating smaller workspaces, so this is where a toggle button would be useful!

Perhaps just of curiosity, I would like to know what all the lines in the safe.lic license file actually mean. Not an answer like "they are needed" but more information why they are needed and what they correspond to. FEATURE FME (this might be the main license)FEATURE FME_GUIFEATURE nationalFEATURE basic_rasterFEATURE segy_readingFEATURE segy_writingFEATURE smallworld (this is the license level)FEATURE fmeobjects_reprojectFEATURE ssis_extensionFEATURE spatialbiz I've heard during my years as a FME expert that some of these lines correspond to "old licensing levels" or similar but now with FME Form, is that really true?

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 Flo

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?

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

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?
