Error with SharepointOnlineConnector When Running FME from Bash

Hello, I have an FME workflow that runs perfectly when executed with the FME GUI open, but it fails when launched via a Windows bash script. The error message generated is: SharepointOnlineConnector: Connection 'SharePoint0Online08safe.microsoft-sharepoint9' does not exist. Check connection parameter and connection definitions in FME options and try again Is the SharepointOnlineConnector connection only valid when the graphical interface is active? Do you know how to keep this connection active even when running the workspace from a script? Thank you in advance !

Email Results To in a Workspace App

Before I get into the details I see there have been a couple of similar questions asked it the past, specifically As well as this idea What I’m wanting to be able to do is have a process, specifically one run with the Data Download Service, that has been run through a Workspace App to post to the DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS Topic. Effectively replicating the ‘Email Result To’ functionality of the Run Workspace interface. Now, I know how you could achieve this by modifying the workspace and include the email functionality there, but that means updating a significant number of workspaces, and ensuring that future workspaces are built with that functionality included. Does anyone have any ideas? Could an automation app be a solution (don’t have much experience with them)?

Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online shared mailbox with OAuth in IMAP/SMTP automations

Greetings! I have a question, is it possible to utilize Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online shared mailboxes in IMAP/SMTP automations, in conjunction with OAuth? This question applies to System Email as well. All our research points towards no at the moment, so this might be an Idea post rather than a Question. At least within FME Flow 2024.1.3 (Build 24627) that we are currently running. Background:Exchange Online shared mailboxes cannot be interacted with directly. Their accounts are technically disabled, they have no valid logon credentials nor any mailbox licenses. Instead, you grant Send as and Full permission to other licensed accounts in Exchange Online, who act on behalf of the shared mailboxes. Therefore, in addition to the shared mailbox (fme@our-company.com) we intend to use for automations, we created a licensed service account (account@our-microsoft-tenant.com) that will act on behalf of the shared mailbox. The problem:Now, provided that all we have for Email automations is a

Geometry User Parameter: Configuration for Geometry Types are missing in FME Flow automations

Hi, For user parameter Geometry in FME Form, you can configure what type of “selecting geometry” to allow under the GeoJSON Configuration > Geometry Types (Point, Box, Line, Polygon). But when I publish the workspace to FME Flow and set up the user parameters in Automations, the configuration for Geometry Types is missing for the Geometry User parameter. For my example, I want only Point as a valid Geometry type for the Geometry user parameter. I publish the workspace to FME Flow with these settings and create an automation app with the same user parameters, but when I run the app the user can choose between all geometry types (Point, Box, Line, Polygon).

Automations Writer - multiple child jobs run against a single engine

If there is an automation where a workspace with an automations writer, triggers a child workspace a number of times is it possible to restrict those jobs to run on the same engine without the use of a queue? I want all child jobs triggered from the writer to run on the same engine as each other for a single automation run, but i don’t necessarily want to say that jobs can only be run on a single engine, as would be the case if I set up a queue.

FME Flow 2024 gets versioning wrong

Hi. I just did an engine upgrade of my 2024.0.1 Flow instance to the very latest version 2024.2.1 I then created a workspace in Form version 2024.2.0, and tried to upload it to Flow to test deployment parameters. But I get a warning stating, that Flow is older than Form, and the workspace is unrunnable on Flow. This is not good, as an engine upgrade is a nice way to keep Flow running with the latest version without the hazzle of major downtime and reinstallation. Why can’t the Flow 2024 UI handle engine upgrades, and why is my workspace blocked on Flow ?

Outputting a csv as txt

I wanted to make a simple app that reads from database and writes as either a csv or txt file. I created parameter to either choose csv or txt. I put that user parameter on the csv writer under dataset extension. When I try the app, I’m able to successfully download the csv but when I choose txt - it does not download but shows the full table right on the internet browser. I was wondering how to fix this. Also I am unsure as to how to use the txt writer and put my data as csv there instead. Maybe that would be a good workaround.

FME Flow unavailable services

I’m trying to publish a new app on FME Flow, but there are no services listed to create the app. If I try open an existing app, it says “You do not have access to the "fmedatastreaming" service.” I’m logged as a admin with all possible rights. If I go to services settings, all seems normal. So Im not able to create any app and practically run any workspace. What could have gone wrong? EDIT:After updating to FME 2024.2.3 the problem stays exactly the same.

FME Flow Fanout Dataset Filename Issue

I built a workbench that creates 2 excel files with unique names that are created use the Fanout Dataset in the excel writers using a filename attribute that creates the unique file name. However, when I run workbench in FME Flow to set up the automation, it says it created it successfully, and the log seems to show that the files were created with the unique names, however, there are no files to open at all in the destination folder that I set up for it on FME Flow. Please help. Thank you! Pic of the fanout in the workbench. I have tried to add the log file to this post but it will not let me as the file type is “log” and for some reason the FME Forum system does not allow for those files to be uploaded.

FME Server/Flow HTTPCaller Fails with Web Connection but works on Desktop/Form

Hi! I could use a hand. I'm running an FME workspace that downloads data from ArcGIS Online using 4 HTTPCallers and a Web Connection. The workflow works fine in FME Form 2024, but when I publish and run it in FME Flow 2024.1, it fails. Setup: Using a Web Connection to authenticate (ArcGIS Online). The Web Connection exists in FME Server and is assigned to my user. The Web Connection is correctly assigned in FME Server. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Could it be related to permissions, token handling, or FME Server settings? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How to verify if all the workbenches in an automation for a particular run/trigger are successful?

Problem Statement: I need to verify if all the workbenches in an automation for a particular run/trigger are successful. There can be multiple runs/triggers in a day, and the number of triggers per day is unknown. Things I Have Tried: When I attempt to retrieve relevant data from the FME Flow PostgreSQL database, I can't find a unique identifier for each run/trigger of an automation. I can see an event_id in web interface, but unable to find that in the postgres database.

Use HTTPCaller to download file, to use in my workflow

I want to create a workflow that downloads a file from the internet (SHP file compressed as ZIP file). That file should then be used in my workflow for further analysis and processing. How should I set that up? I now have a "Creator", followed by a 'HTTPCaller'. This HTTPCaller downloads my ZIP file (contains a SHP file). How can I now use this data for further processing? When I use a ESRI SHP File Reader, I can't seem to send this file as an input to that Reader?

Workspace running on FME Server will not acquire an ArcGIS licence

We have an issue where a Workspace running on FME Server will not acquire an ArcGIS licence and we get the error message "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details" It seems the issue is related to user accounts and licenses used to run FME and ArcGIS, but I'm having trouble understanding how to set this up. I have tried with ArcGIS PRO 3.0.3 with Single User Advanced license or Named User Advanced License, FME Server 2022.2 with services running as either domain user with Administrator access or as a local user who is member of the local Administrator group. The FME Server and FME desktop versions match, Esri ArcGIS Compatibility is set to ArcGIS Pro. Does anyone know wh

Error: A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found... when running workspaces with arcpy.

Hi, I have installed ArcGIS Pro 2.9 and FME Workbench 2022 on my computer. I have downloaded arcpy-example.fmw from the website, but I could not get it to run. I changed my setting, so that python compatibility is set to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+. I kept getting an ERROR: A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+' I am unsure whether I would need an extra step to connect my ArcGIS Pro license to FME. In addition, my ArcGIS Pro is not authorized to work offline. I was wondering whether this was an issue. In addition, inside my ArcGIS, the Data Interoperability extension is grayed out. Is this the reason why I could not use Arcpy in FME desktop? My ArcGIS licensing shows that data interoperability is licensed on my ArcGIS. Do I need to install ArcGIS Data interoperability for Pro for it works? Thank you

Best EC2 instance type for FME

Hi all, Could you please share your experience on what types of AWS EC2 instances you use for FME Flow and FME Form. I wonder if the M5 instance type is recommended since it is used for FME Flow Hosted. We mostly use “t3.large”. I understand that the choice depends on server load etc., but I would like to know the best practices. Thanks!

Questions about in place upgrade of FME Server 2022 to Flow 2024

We are currently running FME Server 2022.2. on prem (not cloud hosted). We had been planning on upgrading to the latest, but now even more so with the privilege escalation issue, and there apparently not being a fix for our version….except to upgrade. Looking over the “in place upgrade” portion of the documentation, it seems we can simply backup the configuration files (we’re not using version control yet), do an uninstall of 2022.2, do a fresh install of the latest 2024, and then restore the configuration backup. Are there any known issues with doing this from 2022 to 2024? I know the product was rebranded in 2023, but the differences I could see between 2022 and 2023 seemed mostly cosmetic for the rebrand. However, I know 2024 seems to be different. I just really want to dot all my i’s and cross all my t’s, and keep any down time to a minimum. And know if there are any “gotchas” that can be avoided. Thank you.
