FME Flow

A recent vulnerability scan where i work identified both Log 4j and Apache TomCat vulnerabilities with our FME Server applications. I am currently running FME Server 2019.1, I know that particular version of FME does not utilize Log4j , but the files exist as a part of the installation.  Can we simply mitigate these vulnerabilities by removing the log4j and TomCat installation, or do we need to upgrade those install to a more current version? If we install newer versions of both log4j & TomCat will the FME Server 2019.1 application continue to function as expected?

Hi,I created a workspace to process las files and receive raster and contours data set. The workspace supposed to be run with use of a directory watcher but it looks every las file is a trigger to run it again. Is there a way to have a single event with FME Server 2020.2? Thanks

I am using the FME 2020.1 Desktop (win 64) install with the MSACCESS_JDBC reader. The work bench command line is being used in an existing code, and successfully processes 27 of my 30 mdb.  The three mdb that don't process produce the following error:  net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessSQLException: UCAExc:::5.0.0 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver.connect(UcanaccessDriver.java:231) at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcCommon.openConnection(JdbcCommon.java:464) at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcReader.openHelper(JdbcReader.java:186) at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcReader.open(JdbcReader.java:155)Caused by: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at jdbc.ucanaccess.shaded.org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCPreparedStatement.executeBatch(Unknown Source) at net.ucanaccess.converters.LoadJet$TablesLoader.loadTableData(LoadJet.java:865) at net.ucanaccess.converters.LoadJet$TablesLoader.loadTableData(LoadJet.java:837) at net.ucan

 Hi,  I'm trying to configure a new FME Flow deployment with a new customer.They would like to keep all storage on the same storageclass: azurefiles-fmeserver.This storage class is created as highlighted in 3. Setup Shared Storage using Azure Files: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Kubernetes/Kubernetes-Deploying-to-AKS.htmHowever, if storage.postgresql.class is filled in, the deployment does not work.If this parameter is empty, the deployment completes and the storageclass: default is chosen. We have tried adding multiple different parameters in the postgresql.primary parameters, but none that helped us.Is there anyone who has had the same issue?Below is a exert of the Values.YAML file.   storage: useHostDir: false reclaimPolicy: Delete postgresql:  size: 1Gi  class: azurefiles-fmeserver  path: fmeserver:  accessMode: ReadWriteOnce  size: 10Gi  class: azurefiles-fmeserver  path: # It is recommended not to modify those parameters# For more options regarding Postgr

We have a series of API calls to a Bentley API which have been working fine until recently and are still working fine in Postman. We have a GET request in FME which returns a  “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden” error.  We have been through this with Bentley support and have found the source of the issue is related to the Content-Transfer-Encoding header. Bentley's API’s security rules have recently been updated to block requests which contain the ‘Content-Transfer-Encoding’ header. This is because the header has been deprecated and has the potential to be a security vulnerability.  FME seems to default send "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" with the GET request and there doesn't appear to be an option to change it. Does anyone have any ideas about how we can get round this?  Thanks in advance!

It seems to me that the Map Configuration window doesn't work (or show) anymore when using the Geometry Picker in 'Full window mode'. I can also imagine that technically the window/menu does work/show, but is placed behind the 'full/expanded window' of the Geometry Picker, causing it not to be accessible/usable. To be clear. What I'm talking about is this menu/window, which does work when using the Geometry Picker in 'Inline mode';However, when I use the Geometry Picker in 'Full window mode', nothing seems to happen/show if I click on the Map Configuration button. E.g.;Are others also experiencing this issue? Is this a known bug? ps. I'm using FME Flow 2023.0.0.1 (b23288) on Linux.

Welcome,I need to download data from 300 wfs servers (list of it in any format) for 2000 objects (3 km buffer form point) like on a picture. Is it possible to add a list with server addresses to FME where it will check the spatial extent of the data from the server and then from the polygon range and download the data?

Hi all, I have a workspace that was running fine on server, but now the user is unable to upload an input file as a temporary resource. The upload says completed but the OK button is greyed out. This seems to be the case with all workspaces, not just the one in question. Any ideas whats going on? Thanks,  Owen 

If I change the time to be 1 minute after the other job it runs successfully.There is no log file as the job submitter just does not start. FME should place the 2nd job in queue I would have thought.

We are hitting our 8 concurrent license limit with desktop. We use cmnd line and a PERL wrapper with our scheduling tool to run batch jobs. From what we read we are limited to 8 per engine, even if we were to buy additional concurrent Workbench licenses. So, that means FME server would be the only other option?Is it called FME flow now? Seems like a pretty big install. All we need is the server and the server cmnd line for a quick fix.

Hi.I have some automations running on 2022.2.2, and had to do a small edit on one of them. Afterwards the automation failed badly.I found that all the workspace actions in the automation had been "cleaned", i.e. set back to their default (workspace) setting of parameters. All of them. And I hadn't edited any of them, just moved some connections.No wonder the automation failed badly, as I'm e.g. using automation writer features to pass information between the actions. And have some global settings too for good measure.Has anyone experienced something similar ?What might have caused this ?Cheers.

I am referencing this article: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/configuring_for_https.htm?Highlight=ssl I am on Windows trying to implement using a PFX and password. I am on step 6b and running into an issue. I try to go to https://localhost/ and get "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". It doesn't seem to let me see/download the cert at all. Any ideas? I have checked and double-checked the configurations changes including the path to the PFX and the password.

In FME Server Notifications I used a JSON Reader to digest the incoming Topic Message and get at the relevant information to pass downstream in my translation. However when I try and create an Automation using the process the workspace fails with a 'file does not exist' error. How can I use the trigger event as JSON to run a workspace in Automations?

We POST data to Corelogic in a Python script that works well for one offs, but we are trying to run 11K and think FME would be faster. The reason we POST is that the bundle we send is greater than a GET can handle (larger number of Lat, Long).We have tried setting up similar to our Py code with URL, json bundle in the Body, and Authorization Token in the Header but no joy see pic _A.  request_post = requests.post(parcel_url, json=parcel_request, headers=coreHead). We also have also setup with Query String ParametersAny help would be appreciated.Examples:URL: https://api-prod.corelogic.com/spatial-tile/parcelsJson: { "geometry" : "POLYGON ((-75.90819777899998 39.808981800000026,-75.90412056399998 39.808855236000056,-75.90812199699997 39.80857331300007,-75.90819777899998 39.808981800000026))", "pageNumber" : "1", "pageSize" : "50" }Auth: 'Bearer li7HyqUBbCaBKVBCYSB0VpLjsBfQ'

Is there any way to encrypt file in PGP in FME?

I would like to User to rename the output FGDB name every time they run the FME script using the batch file.I have a FME 2022.2.4 workbench file that output Data on to a FGDB.FGDB has many feature classes, line points and polygon.I have created User Parameter called "NAMEFGDB" then linked with the "Writer". When I run the script using workbench or quick translator it prompt and I can change the FGDB name.However when I run using the batch file, even though I can type the new name for the FGDB, it still writes out to Default database name. My Batch file is as below.@echo ## Start translation ## set /p NAMEFGDB=type fgdb name:"C:\\Program Files\\FME\\FME2022-1-2\\fme.exe" D:\\GIS\\Data_extract_by_Area.fmw@echo ## End translation ##pause Is there anything else I need doing to connect the FME script to batch file?

Good morning, I’m trying to automate my fme with a bat file. It’s the first one and I don’t understand what’s blocking it. I attach my bat file if someone can help me tell if the command lines or not =) thank you

Hello, My IT team wishes to change the IP address of the machine hosting FME Flow. The domain name remains the same. The DNS resolution will be adjusted to point to this new IP. Are there any impacts on the proper functioning of FME Flow?Thank you in advance for your responses.Lau

Hi Is there any time frame on when a version of FME will be available for Debian 12?

It appears that FME automations run workspaces as the last user to edit the automation, not the automation owner or the workspace owner.  Is there a way to identify the last user to edit an automation and where that differs from the automation owner? I can't see anything within the interface, or returned as automation information via the API (FME Server 2021)

I'm working on a server app where users have to upload a photo taken with their phone. There's no need for them to browse the resource folders and so I've disabled access to the resources for that security token (except write access for the temporary folder where the images are stored). However, the users still have the option to browse the resource system: Ideally I'd want that "Browse resources" button to be gone and just have "Upload file". Is there any way to do that (other than write an app of my own)?
