FME Flow

The end product is intended for viewing only so ancillary staff can see and drill down to certain engineering levels without having to download or know how to use engineering software like Bentley or CAD.  I have an FME pipeline built already so am going back thru and optimizing. looking for others who maybe have completed a similar workflow to compare notes with. What worked \\ what hasn't etc.  Some notes - Client does not have ItemTypes set up so am not working with much attribute info. I am expanding cells to extract constituent geometry. Interested also in methods to handle 3d Geometry.  We are also interested in utilizing FME Server to potentially automate as new files are added to a directory. Please feel free to direct message.

When i start the program FME Workbench version 2021.1.2 and 2021.2.6, the system start up as expected. But when i try to start FME Workbench 2022.2.2, 2022.2.4, 2022.2.5 or FME Form 2023.0 the start window appears. But when it comes to "Initzialising main window" the system craches every time whith a loggmessage in the Windows Event Viewer: (Sorry about the swedish language in logg) "Felet uppstod i programmet med namn: fmeworkbench.exe, version 2023.7.46.23275, tidsstämpel 0x6436125d, felet uppstod i modulen med namn: ucrtbase.dll, version 10.0.19041.789, tidsstämpel 0x2bd748bfUndantagskod: 0xc0000409Felförskjutning: 0x000000000007286eProcess-ID: 0x3300Programmets starttid: 0x01d9a4d0db7b26d8Sökväg till program: C:\\Program Files\\FME2023_0\\fmeworkbench.exeSökväg till modul: C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\ucrtbase.dllRapport-ID: 47a2422c-3812-46fc-be60-5a47781d95a4Fullständigt namn på felak

G'day, We have some Asset software which has an API available, on the most part we are interfacing with the API well. There is an upload component which I have never been able to automate, yet I can use the manual swagger page to test it out no worries. The swagger page with the /api/geo/add_geo_package can be found here - https://api-albury.conquest.live/swagger/#/GeoPackageImportService/GeoPackageImportService_AddGeoPackage Basically, I need to manually click 'choose file' from the webpage, which I can do, but I want to automate this step using FME, so I don't know how to replace the manual "choose file" button with a simple file path location to tell it where the file is curr

We have upgraded to FME FLOW 2023.1. Now the workbenches that write or read to to our SQL Server Spatial - SDE MS SQL Server 2012 fail. It looks like an SSL certificate error.  Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Writer: Failed to connect using Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server. Provider error '(-2146893019) SSL Provider: The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted. '. Connection string 'Provider=MSOLEDBSQL19;Data Source=djskfjdksfjslfjslf-sqlserver-se.cdvhtvcfec0o.ap-southeast-2.rds.amazonaws.com;Initial  Failed to open writer MSSQL_SPATIAL writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details. Not sure what is going on and how to fix it. The workbenches on FME Form fail as well with the same error.  

When doing a start of the services after the DB has been initialized; I get this... com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The driver could not establish a secure connection to SQL Server by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error: "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target". Have verified the Server/Port pair are correct, as well as verified the port accessibility from the Flow Server to the DB.

May I ask what is the default password for fmeserver database?

Run into a strange issue. We recently migrated our FME server (2022.0) from a Windows server 2012 R2 to 2019 a few days ago. Everything has been working fine until a couple of days ago when I found out I can not save changes to some automations or create a new one. They just hang at save. I narrowed down the issue is with the automations that have any workspaces that take parameters from the upper-stream workspaces, such as the upper-stream workspace name and job ID. I am attaching a simple test workspace that takes two published parameters. The workspace is added to a simple test automation. When I save this automation, it hangs. I am also attaching the screen shot of errors in the browser developer console. Note all migrated automations with this kind of workspaces have been working fine. I just can't make changes to any existing automations or creating a new automation that include this kind of workspaces.

Hi all, Is there a way to remove the word '(optional)' when generating a Flow App?I find unnecessary text too noisy for the user...they don't need to see the text (optional) on the app. Be good if there was an option to turn this prompt off?? thanks,Tim

Dear fellas,  Someone created an FME-workbench for me to input a DWG with lines, and output an DWG with all hatches.  However, when looking in the hatch properties in the generated DWG, this hasn't got an area. BUT, when I click once on a grabpoint, deselect, and select the hatch again, it DOES give me an area. Autocad tellls me the problem is within FME and there's no tricks in autocad to avoid this needed click. Because seems like Autocad doesn't realize the hatch exists, untill its clicked once, till then, the area is never calculated.  Any way to solve this problem? cause select something like a thousand hatches, click them, deselect, and select again takes a lot of time. generating all the boundaries at once isn't a solution because there's islands in the hatches.

Hey, so I'm looking at the download page here https://engage.safe.com/support/downloads/#official And I'm seeing tabs with "FME 2022.2" and "FME 2023.0" and "Past Versions". Is it fair to assume that FME 2023 is still in Beta? I think this page is pretty confusing now. I'm pretty sure this used to have a Beta section. Anyone visiting this page who wasn't familiar might just download FME2023 thinking it's ready for production... Checking the FME Cloud console I can see that FME 2023 is still listed as Beta anyone at Safe wanna fix the webpage? @andreaatsafe​ @nampreetatsafe​ @mark2atsafe​  

I have tried an area calculator and area selector for polygons less than 1m2which appears to work but I wonder if there is a better method

Hello is there any steps to speed up the run time of FME workbench, My workbench is taking more than 6 hours of time for execution.

I want to encrypt generated output shapefile via PGP encryption in FME. How we can achieve this?

I had an FME Cloud 2022.2 instance where I had uploaded a Python module and its dependencies to the python38 directory as that was the version of Python I had on local machine running FME Desktop. Everything worked as expected. When I replaced the instance with an FME Flow Hosed 2023.1.1 instance, the workspaces using the module continued working normally. However, I wanted to upgrade the module as I was using a pre-release version. My local machine is now running Python 3.10, so I uploaded the new version of the modules and its dependencies to the python310 directory on the instance and removed the files in python38. I have not been able to get the module to work in the python310. I have both removed and re-added engines and rebooted the instance. If I move the files into the python38 directory, the module is accessible. I noticed that even though the workspaces have Python capability set to 310, the workspace logs on the instance always say they a

We (APA) are facing issues with security certificate installed on our FME Server.The certificate has expired and we are not able to update it with new valid cert. We have followed the workflow mentioned here: https://community.safe.com/s/article/Configuring-FME-Server-for-HTTPS-Updating-an-expired-CertificateWe completed all these steps but still not successful.when we connect we still see old expired cert on browser.

Dear FME community, We would like to have redunancy in our FME Form licencing using Flexlm. We have x number of licenses that should not be divided over n servers, but the same licenses need to be configured on all servers, master and backup. In case of crash of the master server the backup machines need to automatically take over. Only thing I could find was: https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0r4Q00000HbqijQAB/configure-a-backup-or-failover-license-manager The answer of Rylan doesn't specify if his suggested method is for load-balancing or/and a backup-license manager. The flexlm guide online states:"The following is an example of a license file that is configured for thre

Hi Group, Imagine I create a workspace in Form which is then published to Flow. I'd then run this via Flow, and it runs fine. But if I then make a change in the original workspace in Form (even a tiny change like change the destination of a writer, or add a new transformer somewhere), do I then have to republish the workspace from Form to Flow? Or does Flow automatically pick up on changes made to the workspace in Form? Thanks,Stuart 

If I install FME engine on seprate machine to connect FME flow core host (with default Flow database installed on same), does the trial FME flow standard license work on distributed architecture? Is ther any specific license required to configure distributed engine setup not the trial one?

I have an FME Server (Flow) 2022.2.5 installation on a Windows server and I have application-level user security enabled (not Windows-level security). Sometimes I need to do maintenance on the server and I'd like to be able to see who is currently logged in via the web interface. I've looked everywhere in the web interface for something like this but no luck. Thanks.

Are FME Desktop 2017 and 2020 vulnerable for Apache ActiveMQ CVE-2023-46604? Thank you

If I reinstall FME flow software, can same license file be used again even this is a trial flow license? According to the licesne request file machine code is generating diffrent value. Do I need to request new trial license file if reinstallation is in place? Is it applicable for permanent license also in case of any reinstallation is needed? Please advise.

I have a 3D dataset of lines several lines contain large spikes - like the one in the screen shot and attached template. I tried using the SpikeRemover but it doesn't seem to work - Does the Spike remover just not work on spike in the Z direction - the documentation doesn't really help identify why it doens't work?  Failing that is there another way to remove points like the (z points which are about 100 meters off from the expected position). I started going down the line of extracting coordinates and trying to identify them that way but it seems like there must be a better way

Hi, We have recently upgraded our FME Server 2021.* to FME Flow 2023.1.1.1 Build 23636. Many of our workspaces work fine but some have started to take much more time. 1h30m copying 619855 features from SQL server to PostGIS in FME Flow with 15828934!!!  warnings vs. 4m in FME Form with 530 warnings.  The warnings are of this type (both Flow 2023 and Form 2023 - none in FME 2021):2023-11-14 14:01:50| 186.1|  0.0|WARN  |POSTGIS Writer: Renamed user attribute 'DW_TimeStamp' to 'dw_timestamp' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and caseIs this behaviour due to the fact that our workspaces in FME flow 2023 still are in version 2021? Regards Jakob
