FME Flow

I have a (FME Form 2023.0) workbench that generates three Excel files, where running locally via FME Form gets me a zip with this structure:my_data_$(TODAY).zipfoo_$(TODAY).xlsxbar_$(TODAY).xlsxbaz_$(TODAY).xlsxAll three XLSX files are generated by three separate writers and have very distinct structures and different template files. When I publish the workbench to FME Flow and try running it with the DataDownload or Data Streaming services, however, I get a completely mangled zip file with this structure insteadOutput8719176120317945288.zipXLSXW_1foo_.xlsxXLSXW_2bar_.xlsxXLSXW_4baz_.xlsxIt seems like both services ignore whatever path the readers are configured to write to, and instead use a XLSXW_1_DATASET override that gets set by FME Flow, whose value seems to be $(FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR)/MULTI_WRITER_KEYWORD{0} with the file name appended at the end, without parameter expansion. Is there anything I can do to control the file structure inside that generated zip file, or perhape have a

For example I have automation MyAutomation that runs two workbenches, WB1, WB2. WB1 can run on engines 1 - 5(determined by the folder it is in on the FME Server), WB2 can run on engines 3-5. Can an issue arise where WKB1 is running on engine 2 and completes by calling WKB2, that cant run on Engine 2?

Hi, Following the documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Starting-Stopping-FME-Flow-Manually.htm I tried to enable HTTPS for the server (FME Flow 2023.1 Build 23619 - win64). I can browse via HTTPS to my server without problem.When trying to run a job (Run Workspace / Samples / austinApartments.fmw / Data Download) I end up with an error 500. In the log (D:\\FMEFlow\\ProgramData\\resources\\logs\\tomcat\\NAME\\localhost***.log): SEVERE [https-jsse-nio-443-exec-8] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke Servlet.service() for servlet [JobRunnerForm] in context with path [/fmeserver] threw exception   javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty Is it safe to attach the full log files ? Best regards, Endorria

For an automation running on FME Flow is there a method save the parameters used to send an email? Currently we have many email services set up and are switching email servers around. It would be nice to be able to update the credentials for one source opposed to having to edit the parameters in each automation individually.

How to Create an ArcGIS Online Web Connection (OAuth 2.0) (safe.com) I followed the document above. However, when trying to add the redirect url to the app in ArcGIS Online, it now requires a "url" parameter that is not mentioned in the documentation. I'm not sure what to put there.

Hello,I have a dataset with 1000 categories (A, B, ...) (please see the following sample). For each category I want to calculate 3 points moving averages. I developed the following workbench that using a Tester filter data for each category and then calculating the 3 points moving averages for one category (here port A). However, for each port of the Tester I should repeat all transformers again (transformer after the Tester), which is difficult for 1000 categories. I created a custom transformer but again I should import the custom transformer 1000 times. In the custom transformer I used a Counter which for each port should start counting from zero. But it is added up after that it is applied for each port. I set the Count Space of the Counter on local. But still didn't work. Can someone please let me know a better way to calculate this moving averages without those all repetitions of transformer. FYI, I am using FME 2022.

The municipality of Eindhoven intends to change the current way of 'authentication' to 'SAML' authentication.The current way of authenticating is based on 'Windows Active Directory'.Within Eindhoven we use the publishing of FME Desktop scripts to FME server via the so-called 'FMEServerJobSubmitter'.This is based on an Active Directory account.FME version 2022.2.1 On the Safe website we find several articles that authentication within an FME flow via SAML does not support a number of transformers.One of them is the 'FMEServerJobSubmitter'. Two possible 'workarounds' are mentioned.We do have some questions about this. Hopefully someone can comment on this. 1.    Use a System AccountFME Server can consist of both SAML and system user accounts. Consider creating a system user account whose credentials can be shared with those users who author workspaces in FME Desktop. This account can be used to create the web connection for FME Server trans

We have an 'Archived' repository on FME Flow. I was wondering if there was a way to create a workbench or an automation to, for example, delete a workspace after it has been sat in Archived for 30 days. Thanks

Hi forum, I'm very new to FME Flow. I need to set up a schedule using cron expression for 07:00 Monday to Saturday, all year. I've entered... 0 7 * * 1-6 However FME Flow gives a message: "Invalid cron expression: 0 7 * * 1-6" I cant see what's wrong with it. Any thoughts? See attached image.Thanks,Stuart  

I am IT manager and have followed guide to register new app in azure with recommended Graph and SP permissions, also granted on behalf of the org but for some reason all users are still getting this needs admin approval and it is driving me bonkers, Please can someone assist me.

I managed a few users for my work and we have a few fixed licence codes under our EULA. Some of these have been reused and to test this process I activated two under my own install of 2022.2. I now have two codes listed under my install and I don't really need either, and there seems to be no way of removing them. I have followed other posts about location the directory where these are stored but there are no files located.  How are these managed? I can see they are re-usable but do they get automatically get removed from the previous machine? Should I uninstall before these get activated elsewhere? Many thanks for any help

Hi all.Running 2022.2.6 on Windows.My server is stacked with a 100 Gb C drive, and a 200 Gb E drive.I would like to move the location where FME server stores the job log files from C to E, and have therefore edited the file "C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\config\\logger\\engine\\messagelogger.properties", changing the location in LOG_FILE_PATH to a path on the E drive.But after restarting FME server, it still writes the job log files to the old default location on the C drive !!!Is the logger property even used ?Cheers.Lars

I have the following problem: I have a csv file with multiple columns. I have a user parameter and i want to rename the columns according to this user parameter. Even though the "Text To Find" parameter of my BulkAttributeRenamer gets updated correctly the Renamer doesn't rename the correct column but renames the previously set column and deletes the values in the newly set column (see pictures). The BulkAttributeRenamer only renames the new column correctly if I:   - open the BulkAttributeRenamer properties   - replace "Text To Find" Parameter with something arbitrary    - close the BulkAttributeRenamer by clicking "Ok"   - open the BulkAttributeRenamer properties again   - set the "Text To Find" parameter back to my user parameter   - close the BulkAttributeRenamer by clicking "Ok"  I'm using FME Desktop 2020.2.3.0 on Windows 10Maybe someone can tell me if this is a bug or if I'm just overlooking something.  Many thanks i

Hello, I store attributes of my workspace in an json array (JSON_FILE_PARAM) using the FME Server Automations Writer (myWriter).{"automation.id":"c48fb4a8-5757-4207-867c-6d0de3947b5e","email.subject":"mySubject","email.received":"Wed Sep 13 09:37:26 CEST 2023","email.body":"e-mail:myEmail@provider.com"} Now, in my automation, I'd like to use the attributes as user keys:{route.myWriter.JSON_FILE_PARAM.email.body}I do have access to those attributes stored OUTSIDE the list but not INSIDE. I'm using FME Flow version 2020.

Hello,I am trying to execute an job in datastreaming via HttpCaller.The message I get back is "HTTP/1.1 401" although I have my login data filled in.I tried to use my usernmae and pw on the browser, it works fine.Just the transformer tells me its not ok.I tried the two possibilities mentioned here for users without a token : https://community.safe.com/s/article/401-unauthorized-error-when-making-fme-server-requDoesn't work either way.... Maybe someone stumbled accross a similar problem and has a solution ?  

Hi Holly,I am addressing you since your name ison the article(https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server?t=1694673698026)and it is not possible to leave a comment I have implemented the WMS via FME Flow and I have noticed a strange behavior that I wanted to report.When requesting data from the WMS service I have noticed that the client (QGIS) creates a request per layer. This is as expected, however on the FME Flow side I get 2 identical requests for each WMS layer. This doubles the response time of the WMS service and uses twice the resources on FME, is this something you can look into and reproduce? Since the WMS request is done via the GetCapabilities workspace is there a way to remove this duplicate request before they trigger the GetMap workspace?Cheers,Itay

Hi, I would like to list all FME Flow users that are currently disabled using the rest API or any other method. Is this possible? Thanks,Marc

I don't want to make database connection by giving hardcoded values instead I want to use the secret keys from secret manager. is there any way to implement this in FME ?

How can I trigger the start and stop of an automation/workspace through either e-mail or application? I have a workspace that needs to run on 15 minute intervals after it has been triggered by user input (email or application). User then needs to tell it to stop running. Seems like trigger in an automation can either be incoming e-mail or schedule but I cannot start a schedule based on an incoming e-mail. Same applies to stopping said application Any ideas would be great.

I'm Daniel from GeoNet Technologies. As you know, Sam is no longer with us and I'm trying to install the application in one Pc specifically for this job. Please. Could you help me to re install it (FME 2021.1)Thank you in advance

Please excuse the crude drawing. I'm using a SpatialRelator with the red features in the Suppliers port, and the blue feature in the Requestor port. Features #1 and #3 need to pass the spatial predicate due to the relation between them being multiple verts (a line). Feature #2 would not pass, due to only having a single vert in common. None of the default spatial predicates will exclude #2 from the test. So, I've been trying various matrix to find a solution, but none seem to work. What would be the appropriate DE-9IM matrix, given that it is only polygon features being used? I have been referencing this help page: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/spatialrelations.htm#Dimensio
