FME Flow

I have finished a fresh install of FME Flow 2023 with a core machine and a distributed engine machine. The distributed engines show up on the web interface but I can’t control them. I can’t tell it how many of them to start (or stop).  What additional configuration do I need to do?

Has anyone managed to upload a ZIP file of Cesium 3D Tiles into Cesium Ion through its API? I can upload a CityGML through the CesiumIonConnector but want to try writing Cesium 3D Tiles and uploading the ZIP file. Thanks

I’m trying to debug an issue with the Job Submitter Service (I haven't actually tried any of the other services) .I have a process which runs fine from the FME Server UI (FME Server 2021). I can fill in the parameters (also upload an input file) etc. The jobs runs.If instead I try and run this using the jobsubmitter service via REST call - e.g., http://Host/fmejobsubmitter/Repository/workspace.fmw?parametersThe response is a 404. What is interesting to me is that I’m able to use the URL without the parameters and get back a proper response - that is for example: http://Host/fmejobsubmitter/Repository/workspace.fmw. It seeeeems like the issue is somehow related to the input file, however, in that case I would expect the job to fail rather than return a 404. so to me it seems like there is a problem actually submitting the jobI’ve checked permissions and the user definitely has access to the repository where the workspace is, and in my testing removing the permissions returns a 401 ERROR

Hi,I have a basic outline of how I would do this with FME Rest API, but wondering if anyone else has done it already in a comprehensive fashion, or whether Safe may have already created something for it? @siennaatsafe We are moving from Active Directory to Azure Active Directory (new name: Entra ID)  in FME Flow. I just need to be able to move all user content and roles to a new AAD (new name: ME-ID) user.For instance:group: FME from AD already exists, but I am going to import group: FME from AAD and then switch all the content and role capabilities for all the underlying users. Happy to take anyone's learnings as well, just to ensure we don’t overlook anything? Cheers,Todd

Hi All,I am new to FME Flow. We are installing FME Flow 2023.1. We are setting up a two-tier distributed FME Flow environment with a machine which hosts FME Flow Core and Web server, and two separate distributed machines where the workspaces will be executed within the same network.  Let’s say I have an automated scheduled job which supposed to run at one of distributed machine at a certain time. For some reasons, the FME Flow Core machine is down at the time when the scheduled job supposed to run. When the FME Flow Core machine down, is the scheduled job still able to start to run at the scheduled time automatically? If not, am I able to start the job manually on the command line on the distributed machine without the FME Flow Core machine available?Your help is great appreciated. Thanks, -John

Hi everyone, is there a way how to integrate Flow Apps through iframe into another web site page. There is a block in CORS setting Flow Apps strict-origin-when-cross-origin. Any idea? Kindly regards

Hello everyone,I have a problem with FME Flow 2023.2.2 and the module xarray 2024.2.0. I need xarray for reading netCDF data and have created a Python script for this in FME Form 2023.2.2. This also runs without any problems. However, when I upload this workspace to FME Flow and start it there, I always get the message that the run has failed.After some research I found out that FME Flow has problems executing the command xarray.open_dataset(). I'll post the script and the logs of FME Form and Flow:import fmeobjectsimport xarray as xrclass FeatureCreator(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 __init__(self): """Base constructor for class members.""" pass def input(self, feature: fmeobjects.FMEFeature): print("Assign file") file = '/dafis/OpMod/t_file_fine/t_file_fine_2024040300_006_012.nc' print ('File: ' + f

G’day, I have been having all sorts of issues trying to get the Out of the Box backupConfiguration.fmw tool to run via a schedule, I don't think it has worked properly since we installed FME Server about 6 years ago, we have just kind of ignored it and never made repairing it a priority. At one point we recreated the schedule from scratch as a result of me creating this topic (BackupConfiguration.fmw "Unable to retrieve backup from FME Server..." | Community (safe.com)), but that win was short lived. I have only just now realized there is a tab on the admin panel of FME Flow called “Backup & Restore”, and I am wondering if someone can tell me the difference between the two? The Backup & Restore tab has apparently run fine for as long as our logs go back (Sept 2023). Am I duplicating effort by trying to get backupConfiguration.fme to run? Or are they separate things? Just for interest's sake I have attached the log of the most recent run of backupConfiguration.fme including the

How long in terms of days is a log file saved after an Automation is run? is the log file overwritten the next time the same Automation runs? or is the log file archived somewhere? Also, the log files in Resources referenced below, how long are they saved? how often are new ones created and saved?Files & Connections - Resources - Logs - Engine - OldFiles & Connections - Resources - Logs - Core - Old

Hello, I’ve got two user parameters in my gallery app. A Generic reader where i chose what data to read in, in my case a ESRI geodatabase, and a featuretype user parameter to choose which feature class or layer to read in. I can’t seem to get this to work from ESRI gdbs. Anyone have any ideas? I can’t select the gdb, only a file in the gdb folder. Thanks 

Hi, We’ve recently upgraded our FME Flow install from 2022.2 to 2023.2.1I had a published workspace that used the Google Sheets v4 package. Previously when I published this workspace, the included Google Sheets package uploaded to FME Flow and became available to use in FME Flow. This all seemed to work fine.Since the upgrade to 2023.2.1 I seem to be having trouble getting this to work. When I publish the workspace, using FME Form 2023.2, I get the option to upload the Google Sheets package, and this appears to work fine.But when I run the workspace from FME Flow I keep getting this error:File D:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\metafile\SAFE.GOOGLE-SHEETS.GOOGLESHEETS4.fmf could not be openedIf I look in the Resources>Engine folder I can see that the file safe.google-sheets-3.3.4.fpkg has been copied in here (with the appropriate timestamp when I published the workspace).Is there something else that has to happen to make this package available?ThanksKeith

I am starting with FME Server and can someone help me understand and learnI have a download process that runs on a virtual machine with Windows Server 2019 data center (Server 1) and it must write a file to a disk of another virtual machine that also has Windows Server 2019 data center (Server 2), but I gives permissions error. I understand that the process is executed with a user created in the FME Server, in this case of type System.My doubts are:Should the user created on the FME Server also be created as a user on Server 1 and have write permissions to the Server 2 disk?Should the user be changed in FME Server to Directory Server type or is it not necessary?

A client has a website that allows for uploading and downloading of data. That’s not the issue here. There is one button on their website that when clicked it lists all of the feature types and their last time an upload was completed. This output is in HTML.At the present time we are now realizing that the results from an FME Workspace, that is sitting on FME Server, properly formats the output in HTML. But here’s the issue … We discovered there was no job set up to run in FME Server which also means it is not set up to do anything related to automation. We have also discovered that the results of that job were just periodically being manually run and then directly uploaded to their website (We are the ones that built the site and maintain it, but none of those individuals who originally did this are with our company today).So, it was just a stagnant picture in time, and totally dependent on someone always remembering to go in every day, week, month, or year (We truly do not know what

Hi,We have installed the FME Flow on a new server and successfully licensed it. However, I do not see any available engines in FME Flow. I tried to use the old server license, then removed it and installed the new licensed version. I noticed that the workspaces are running. I checked the web connection and found it is connected to the new server, and the host is related to the new server. However, on the deployment status page, the host is related to the old server.I want to ensure that everything is related to the new server and to see the available engineswe use FME FLOW 2023

Hello,I am using FME (ESRI version) and I built a project that reads fileXX.osm.pbf. I use a clipper and schema adjustment and write this to a .gdb (ESRI). In my project, I do this for a part in Norway. All is great so far.Now I want to use the same project but with a different osm.pbf file, a different clip file, and a different .gdb. I see that the project is reading, but when writing, I get a message that it did not work because names are different. I tried to save a template and start a new project from the template, but it's the same result.I hope someone can point out what I am doing wrong here.Greetings, Peter

Hello ,I’m wondering if FME Flow can handles multiple simultaneous jobs for a single workflow . For exemple , how does the Easy Translator Demo handle the case where simultaneous translations of CSV files to SHP ( coming from different users ) without their data and their results being overlapped. Is it handled by FME Flow , or handled manually by the developers of this web app?Also in case of only one engine , how does FME Flow process this use case ?

Hi,I get the following error when trying to turn automations off, on a new install of FME Flow:Unable to disable 'run wb': 929028:SQL Query SELECT ncid, connectionname, connectiontype, servicename, username FROM fme_nc_namedconnections WHERE username IS NULL ORDER BY username DESC failed. Error: Could not find prepared statement with handle 1. I had a look in the forums about a similar error with creating db connections but that doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I also can't run workbenches using the 'Run workspace' screen as I get this error which is most likely tied to our SSL certificates? There was an error submitting the job.This is the reason for the automations - I'm having to trigger jobs through the automation screen to run any jobs Unfortunately I wasn't involved in the setup of this environment but any advice is welcome.  Many thanks, Sam

Hello everyone,I'm currently in the process of learning FME as it's just been introduced into our projects. However, there's not much guidance available at the moment, so I'm hoping to get some help here.I have a specific task involving two values: Owner ID (OID) and associated account (AA). We have our own API service that can provide additional details using the AA. My aim is to make HTTP calls with the AA values while ensuring the control remains based on OID.DATA format example:In simpler terms, when OID is set to 1, I want to input all associated AA values into the caller (one by one of course).However, I've heard that loops aren't generally recommended in FME workflows.Can anyone advise if this is possible within FME, and if so, how I might go about it without resorting to loops?Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!

Hi,I have an email attachment automation that downloads attachments to the shared resource folder, but when it is time to run the workspace I get a permission denied error on email.attachments path.FME Flow 2023.2IMAP email with client keyThe automation runs successfully if there is a single attachment and configured to run email.attachment. The problem is email signatures and multiple attachments are present most of the time so I need to run email.attachements to get down to the xlsx I need to load.Why do I get a permissions error on multi file, but not single file?Thanks,Steve

Hi Community, Even After installing ArcGIS Server License in the FME Flow machine, FME Flow Workspace is showing below error“51 2024-4-1 09:23:28 | Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220952'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The Product License has not been initialized.}”I had never experienced this issue earlier. What might be the root cause. Any body have an idea, please share your thoughts. So that I can iterate it and solve it. Thanks in Advance.   

We have an automation that has been running more than a month but now stopped working suddenly. It is supposed to read specific emails from the FME inbox. Yesterday it read the email just fine but today the email isn’t recognized and is still unread many hours later. I don’t see any difference between yesterdays email and todays email, they look the same to me. Other email-reading automations have run just fine after this one stopped working.I have tried restarting the automation, resend the mail to the mailbox but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?
