Have Errors in FME Flow Log File show up in Email

Greetings, I created an Automation and when one of the workspaces fail I would like to receive an email that includes in the body the actual text of the error(s) as shown in the screenshot below, not necessarily that format, but at least the text.In the Email (External Action), I added these keys, but when the workspace got an error, I received the vague and cryptic text here in the email body:Error Message: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsError Type: DeadLetterJob Status: FME_FAILUREJob Status Message: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details I would assume that “Error Message” would include something like what is seen in the screenshot.Any ideas how the log file errors can be added to the email body?

Splitting a long text_line_data attribute every 100 characters for output

HiI have a long line of text_line_data that contains payment details.I want to save the data to a data or text file but have the body of the data split at every 100 characters and then print the next payment detail so that each persons output is on a new line until there are no more details.I have used string padders to get each attribute and testers to create an attribute containing payment details from 1-100, 100-200, 200-300 etc. which does work but is not dynamic. Is there an easier way to split text every 100 characters to a new line? Any help/hints would be appreciated.Basically, I’d like to output the following long attribute text_line_data…….1234567890123456789012345678901 00000001234TEXTT EXT TEXTTEX 01234 MR & MRS SMITH 1234567890123456789012345678901 00000001234TEXTT EXT TEXTTEX 01234 MR & MRS SMITH 1234567890123456789012345678901 00000001234TEXTT EXT TEXTTEX 01234 MR & MRS SMITH 1234567890123456789012345678

Connectivity issue between FME Flow and FME form 2024

We have recently installed FME Flow and FME form 2024, while trying to publish fme workspace, connection get established but after closing and opening FME Form again it failed to connect to FME Flow. Is there restriction from license side or some hanging connection issue which is not closed after first connection, I tried restarting application and even serve but it didn’t help . I have attached screenshot.

Data download NOT outputting file from writer when script continues

Hi, I have a script with 2 choices: download a GDB or make a feature service. Currently, when I choose to download, the script stops after writing, and if Iopt for making a feature service, it continues after the feature writer. However, I am not getting a URL to download the ZIP file in FME Server Data Download when making the feature service. I have implemented a second writer as a workaround, but I am searching for a more effective solution. Any idea how I can implement that?Thanks!

Using deployment param through scripted param UI errors off; bug?

FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)I have a simple scripted parameter script in workbench to return the value of a deployment parameter and I’m wondering if there’s a bug in the interface. When I drag a user parameter onto the script canvas the code generated contains FME_MacroValues, eg.FME_MacroValues['SomeUserParam']If I drag a deployment parameter, dpTest, onto the script canvas the code generated looks like$(dpTest)Here’s the script. The commented code fails; if I manually correct $(dpTest) to FME_MacroValues['dpTest'], it runs: # Get the archive folder from deployment paramimport fme#arch = $(dpTest)#return archreturn FME_MacroValues['dpTest'] Is this a bug? Thanks.

FME Flow 2023.2.2; Where to locate runtime error for the job on FME flow

We have recently upgraded FME flow to the latest 2023.2.2. I am having difficulty locating runtime errors for the job because when you click these runtime errors it will take you to the logs section where you have multiple logs. It's difficult to find which log file has this error. Previous versions directly took you to the error description while this version is not. Please guide me if I am doing anything wrong.Thank you,

Using FME Form with ArcGIS Geoevent Server

I am using ArcGIS GeoEvent Server 10.6.1 and FME Form 2021.In FME Form, is there a way to either reset the statistics in GeoEvent Server or notify me via an email when the Count reaches a certain number? For example, in GeoEvent Server, there is a Count column. I would like an email sent to me when the Count reaches 1,200,000. Currently, GeoEvent Server does not have a way to notify a user if the Count reaches a certain number. I was wondering if there is a way to do this in FME Form?

Hello everyone-Hoping that someone may be able to help with this question!Is there a way to provide a specific required JSON Response body (for example: {“status”:”OPERATION_OK} ) to a 3rd party application in response to a successful post to an FME Flow Automation with a Webhook trigger?

Workspace running on FME Server will not acquire an ArcGIS licence

We have an issue where a Workspace running on FME Server will not acquire an ArcGIS licence and we get the error message "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details" It seems the issue is related to user accounts and licenses used to run FME and ArcGIS, but I'm having trouble understanding how to set this up. I have tried with ArcGIS PRO 3.0.3 with Single User Advanced license or Named User Advanced License, FME Server 2022.2 with services running as either domain user with Administrator access or as a local user who is member of the local Administrator group. The FME Server and FME desktop versions match, Esri ArcGIS Compatibility is set to ArcGIS Pro.

Unable to perform any licensing related tasks

Hi I am trying to run a workspace in server (my first!) and am getting the following error: "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details" ArcGIS Pro Advanced 3.1 is installed on the machine with a single use licence. The version of FME Server is 2022.2.5 so that should be compatable. The original workbench runs fine and the ESRI workspace parameter is set to ArcGIS Pro. Does anytone have any ideas as how to resolve this? Thanks

Library was found but could not be loaded

Hey Team,We’re getting a really weird error on Flow/Server (2022.2), and unfortunately it seems to be one of those ones that we can’t really replicate!The Infrastructure setup is two hosts, with a mixture of standard engines and dynamic engines. We got the below errors across two (very) different workbenches, on the same engine/host (standard engine): We had something similar a couple of weeks ago and resolved it by restarting the effected host. However, this time around it has seemed to fix itself (assuming it was restarted as part of the automatic engine recycling).Looking at the engine logs for that host, they don’t really give too much more info as to what has happenedTue-12-Mar-2024 10:37:00.923 AM INFORM Thread-13401 BANPRIFMESP01_Engine2 Translation Finished (service '7070').

FME License server run on LMTools doesn't read option file safe.opt

Our FME License server run on LMTools by Flexera doesn't read the option file safe.opt.The safe .log file gives the following log:xx:xx:xx (safe) CANNOT OPEN options file "="The safe.opt file is at the same location as the license safe.lic file. Rereading the license file doesn’t seem to work.I don’t see anywhere else in LMTools where you can configure this. Is their a command line tool with lmutil or lmgrd that adds the option file to the license server config?

Potential Issue: Creating Projects on FME Flow 2021.2 with several Schedules

We are in the process of migrating Projects from one FME Flow ( server ) to another. The old server is on FME 2021.2 and has been upgraded in place for several years. So we are cherry picking projects to move to the new server that is running the latest FME Flow. The old server has several schedules that have mostly been phase out (disabled) but still are on the old server for historical purpose. While creating a project and trying to include schedules I do not get all of the schedules listed in the Project → Add ->Schedules dialog. only the first 100 get listed in the sorted pick list and I see not way to get to the others. Has anyone else seen this issue? Any workaround suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have thought of removing the in active projects or renaming the ones I want with a prefix “A1_” or something like that but wanted to check with the community. Thx in advance.

PDFwriter in Flow

Hello,I have uploaded a workspace from Form to Flow that together with some other writers writes a PDF document. When run in Form no error messages appears in log. But when run in Flow following message appears:| This FME edition does not recognize the `GeometryFormat' function. Please ensure that the current platform supports this function, the function name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins| PDFWriter: Unable to write the following raster geometry in the 'JPEG2000' format This happened after I added a FeatureReader to add more data in the workflow, but I can’t make any sense that this update to the Workspace is the issue. If I disable the PDFwriter in the updated Workspace and run in Flow everything works. And if I run the Workspace in Form with the PDFwriter enabled everything works. So could it be something with the FME Flow version? Also the raster feature written to PDF is read in .png format in the Workspace.We have Form version: 2023.1.2.

Need help creating a Data validation script

Hi FME community,I am currently developing a validation script to compare two datasets derived from different versions of the same model, exported as .csv files from Navisworks.The script aims to ensure that the values for Translation X, Y, Z, and Rotation Axis X, Y, Z remain consistent across each version of the model. For instance, the .dwg file "PBD-ALG-SITE-EQP-ACD.dwg" from 27/02/2024 should exhibit identical translation and rotation values when compared to the version from 06/03/2024.Upon confirming that all values are consistent across different versions, the script will assign a "Pass" status, or “Fail” if a value is inconsistent.I'm seeking guidance on the most effective method to achieve this.Cheers.

Floating license server error on Ubuntu 22.04

Hey all, I'm getting a license server error on Ubuntu 22.04 FME Form. This is the error code:2024-03-06 11:02:32 Did not detect a license service on standard port 27000 on server IPADDRESS What is strange is the license server works perfectly for Mac and Windows versions of FME Form. I've checked multiple versions of FME Form and checked to see if it is a firewall issue. I had this issue on Mac OS about a year ago but it was fixed in an update so not sure if it's the same issue for Linux? Any help would be massively appreciated!

FME email notification service support

Hi there,I am attempting to set up automated email notifications with the workbench attached via FME.I have followed the instructions present on the Help document for the transformers called as FMEFlowEmailGenerator & FME Server Notifier. However its not sending the emails through.I have set up new working connections to FMEServerNotifier, using my own login details connecting to FME-TEST, which is FME Flow. No email is being sent. I ran this via FME dekstop, which should work according to documentation:https://s3.amazonaws.com/gitbook/Server-Authoring-2019/ServerAuthoring4RealTime/4.17.TransformerWorkspaceTopics.html I also wish to include the attachment generated by the Feature Writer before the FMEFlowEmailGenerator, it looks like the path may be a incorrect. How would I also fix this if it will cause issue? I have tried to get this email notification service to work with and without the email attachment in case it was causing the issue. It would not work either way.Any suggesti

Writing the fme data download output to a specific folder under fme server resources

Hi guys, I'm building a workspace app that convert data out an oracle database to xml format. The app uses a download service. The downlaod service stores the data by default under (E:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FMEFlow\resources\system\temp\engineresults). So all zip files goes under that folder. For my application I want the output to go to another place because I want to seperate them from the rest of the fme server results. What I have tried is adjusting the Dataset destination fanout directory to ($(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\ORACLE2XMLConversion (see also screen shot)) in order to find the zip file in this path in the server (E:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FMEFlow\resources\data). However it doesn't work well for me so far because it doesn't create the ORACLE2XMLConversion folder and its sub folder. I just find the zip file under the default location. Can anyone help me with this.

FME Engine in a docker container?

I’m looking at upgrading our internal automated testing of our FME tools/workspace. At the moment the way I’m doing it is with custom docker images of FME Desktop/Form and running the tests inside these. This works OK, I’m able to automate the licensing and do what I need to do. But obviously with FME Form comes a lot of uneeded GUI stuff. Plus it just feels clunky and I always need to create a new docker file anytime a new version of FME comes out which I want to test against. (we build our tools in older versions of FME to try and support more customers on various FME versions) I know that there are docker-compose files for FME Flow which work well, however, I don’t really need the whole stack, just the Engine with which I can feed my tests. Also the way that I’m working makes using docker-compose difficult/annoying.In light of that does anyone know if there is a way to just use the FME Engine image on it’s own. This would really save my bacon and make may testing pipeline much more

Setting up a web connection in FME Workbench with OAuth2

Hi there, we are looking at making an OAuth2 connection so that we can pull back JSON files from our Asset Management System in TechOne so that we can then populate our SQL data. I thought FME Workbench would be a lot cleaner than using Python, however I am struggling to connect when setting up a web connection. I receive “an error has occurred” when testing. Out of the three requirements I am unable to set the third one, which is most important. This being grant_type in the body needs to be set to “client_credentials”. Is there any way to change this? I read that you can’t so trying to see if there is a workaround.I read online some are suggesting a REST API but not sure if that’s the way to go in FME Workbench.Regards,Josh
