A space to discuss FME Flow
Recently active
I’ve been running a script on FLOW for months that unzips and deploys apps to an IIS web server by copying them to the wwwroot folder. If the app already exists and needs updating, the script backs up the existing folder, deletes it, and then deploys the new version. However, about two weeks ago, it stopped working because the Python function in the Python caller can’t delete and replace the existing directories.I have admin permissions to the wwwroot folder, and the workbench runs correctly from my computer. But when it runs from FLOW as the application account, it fails. The app account has the same permissions on the wwwroot folder as I do, and both accounts are in the admin group.I suspect a Windows update or a policy change might be causing this issue.Any ideas?
This is my first time using the SFTP External Action in an Automation. I have previously used the FTPCaller Transformer in FME Form, but sometimes it gives an SSH error. The SSH error has occurred 2x over the past 6 months. Safe Tech Support tells me it is a generic error for which they cannot find a fix.  Consequently, I am looking to use SFTP External Action in my Automation that previously used a FME Form workspace to upload to the SFTP.  Questions about the SFTP External Action Details in Automation:Source Path includes the path and the file name (myspreadsheet.xlsx); Is it ok to add the name of the source file in the Source Path? Destination Path includes the path and the file name (myspreadsheet.xlsx); Is it ok to add the name of the destination file in the Destination Path? Is it correct to assume that Destination Path is the same as the Transfer URL in the FTPCaller Parameters in FME Form? The SFTP site has a password, when I enter the password in Password (optional) and choose
How to set FME Flow Schedule (under Automations) to run quarterly? I’ve tried the following CRON expressions:0 0 1 */3 *and 0 0 1 3,6,9,12 *FME throws an error for both of these expressions.  Is there a known work around?Note: I do not want to use Schedules.  Â
We are in the process of setting up our production environment. I have enabled version control in Dev and have been committing/pushing my workbench edits to our external GIS repository. I have connected our production environment to the same repository, but Fetch doesn’t pull down the workbenches. Is that normal behavior, as is that user-error? I know I can make a Project file and move them, but was wondering if I’m doing something wrong.
Hi, looking for help please. We are using FME Flow 2024.1.3 Build 24627 - linux-x64 on Ubuntu 24.04 and trying to connect to an external FTP server to transfer files from FME Flow. Our client who owns the FTP Server are asking us to authenticate with both username / password and public / private keys ; we’ve supplied our client with the public key which they’ve loaded successfully. We can connect ok manually using both username / password and public / private keys, but when we try from FME Flow it fails on the public / private key and forces us to enter the password.What we are looking for is a way to call using the public / private key and also specifying a password. Â
Hello FME Folks, I know that we can run multiple FME Desktop version on same Windows Machine with same licence.Can we do that with FME Server on different Windows Server machines?We have a SmallWorld DB incompatibility for our FME Server upgrade and EO SmallWorld upgrade will happen later.SO, we have to run two FME Server environment. Is that a red flag ? OK?Thanks,Vivek
Hello there,I’m looking into finding how to decide on the actual geometry type of a MultiGeometry feature using python API.How to know which OGC type it is ? MultiPoint, MulitLineString or MultiPolygon.I need this for reporting on ingested data types. class FeatureProcessor(object): """Template Class Interface: When using this class, make sure its name is set as the value of the 'Class to Process Features' transformer parameter. """ def input(self, feature: fmeobjects.FMEFeature): """This method is called for each feature which enters the PythonCaller. Processed input features can be emitted from this method using self.pyoutput(). If knowledge of all input features is required for processing, then input features should be cached to a list instance variable and processed using group processing or in the close() method. """ feature_type_name = feature.getAttribute("fme_feature_type") if feature_type_name not in self.feature_
