FME Flow

The link https://community.safe.com/s/article/send-email-from-automations is enough when you want to send an email from an automation but it does not cover what I'm looking for. I would like have in place an automation that will (i) detect any workspace that failed on FME server as soon as it happened and (ii) send an email to a specific email address. How should I proceed to achieve this double objective?

I have multiple files landing in a folder that is watch to trigger a wksp.2 files go together but don't always have exactly the same name. (they will be similar.) There will also be multiple folders where these files can land and be processed. I need to know several things.1 idea for parsing the file names of separate file types to get them matched into the same wksp. like maybe they land at the same time?2 is it possible to use 1 automation to watch and file both file types and use them to kick off 1 wksp? image 13 all the jobs coming in will be moved to 1 of 3 folders when process is complete using a file mover. Do i need three qutomations in my wlrkspace to tell the file mover where to move the package (both files) or can this be done with the dataset value (being parsed in the file mover wksp? see image 2

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to trigger an automation once a job has been SUCCESSFULLY completed BUT contains errors. See job 56207 in the attachment as an example. The automation itself should then initiate another job.  So far, I haven't found a successful way to accomplish this seamlessly and efficiently. I've considered monitoring "/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_LOG/engine/current/jobs" through an automation, but since I want it to automatically start a new job, it creates an infinite loop. The system events 'Error Message Logged' and 'Warning Message Logged' also do not allow me to trigger a new job via automations based on my conditions. I'm curious to hear your insights.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm setting up a self-serve workflow where the end-user will have to upload some files and then run them through a validation and processing workspace. The files that are needed are 1 mid/mif and 5 csv's with different schema's. To make things easier I want the user to zip them all up and upload them as a single file. I'm using a File user parameter then point that to a Generic reader which reads [somethingsomething].zip\\*.* and then use wildcards to match them to the specific feature types. This works fine if a single zip file is processed. However... this data is grouped by region and the customer indicated that sometimes they need multiple regions. Plus... features from two adjacent regions may actually geographically coincide, so the processing workspace needs to have them both at the same time.  I set up the File parameter to handle multiple files as input, split the value and then run them th

I have filtered data from the results of a value in a field (using tester) in order to split that data in 2 - North and South.  I want to split different data from a different FGDB (with similar fields but not matching and similar area) based on the split I completed above. Is this possible? if so how would I go about completing this? Im wondering if I could add a field to the second FGDB from the first results even though the area might be slightly different ?  thanks and much apprecaited!

I performed the express install of FME Flow 2023. Then I restored a backup from FME Server 2021. I do not see the backup schedule promised at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Perform_Scheduled_Backup.htm. Did my restore over write it? How can I automate a backup of FME Flow?

I have a issue in which your urgent help is required. I have a shared FME flow 2023.1 database which is accessed via two nodes. Both nodes have 5 engines each.When I check from fme flow url I can see all 10 engines ( 5 from each node) available. But if jobs are fired then only 5 engines become available and 5 always show idle.Please help to resolve this issue as it is stopping us from upgrading to latest 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.

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​

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
