Variable parameters for each monthly automation run

I am trying to set up an FME Server Automation, which runs a model every first day of the month. I bump into 2 issues: 1) To set up the schedule trigger, i can not choose "every first day of the month". Apperently the monthly option only lets you choose a montly run from the day it is today (in this case every first monday of the month). How to go about? 2) I want to let the input parameters change for each monthly run. In this case the model does a calculation from a start date until an end date, and the start date needs to be the first day of the previous month and the end date the first day of the month it runs. How can I make these input parameters a variable? All suggestions welcome!

FME Server job Submitter workspace called from API without holding up engines.

I have a Transform master workspace. Depending on the input this workbench can start three different types of other workspaces. The Transform master is called using an API, that should be notified when the transformation is complete. But my problem is that I want the master script to not wait for the job submitter to complete so that it does not block one of our engines. Is there a way to send back the job ID of the job submitter to the API instead of the master job ID? Or any similar solution to this problem? Thanks, Samuel

How to delete unused resource folders?

I created some shared file resource folders by editing the fmeServerConfig.txt file. Then after I removed the new shared source codes and restarted the server, the folder still displays under the web interface. How do I delete those unused folders? Thank you.

Background maps used to work - has updating killed the SRS?

Background maps has stopped working - this link: https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/orto_foraar_wmts_DAF?service=WMTS&request=GetCapabilities&token=dcfd5bb56caa13f5f4fcef0b65c45f8eworks in other applications (QGIS 3.16) and used to work flawlessly in FME. Upon updating it has stopped working as a background map, but seems to work as intended in FeatureReader. What happened to background maps? And what can I do to fix it? FME Desktop 2021.1.3.0 21631

Workbench to convert any DWF to a DXF

I want to build a workbench (for publishing to a FME Server) that converts any DWF file to a DXF file of the same name. I started by use the Generate Workspace Dialog and ticked Dynamic Schema. However, the name of the output DXF is hardcoded. I would like the name of the output DXF to be the same as the name of the input DWF (with DXF extension). How do I make this work?

How to secure web connections in FME Desktop

Currently we are usen FME Desktop 2020.1. In the webconnection we have made connections to our ESRI platform (Arcgis Enterprise). SO when using a workbench data can be extracted from our arcgis enterprise portal. Is it possible to secure the data stored in a web connection in FME Desktop. We would like to prevent anyone who has gained acces to one of our account to also use the web connections to reach the account data stored in the web connection.

Hallo, i need something like this in FME / FME server. to be able to automate it. Currently I use ArcGis Desktop like the picture. Which FME component is the right one.

AKS Networking Support

Hi, Could anyone tell me - Does an FME server deployment within Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) support the Azure CNI networking plugin? I cannot see a reference to this in the documentation - my assumption is yes, but would like confirmation. Thanks,Matt

How do you edit transformer settings in FME Cloud?

I've uploaded an old FMW workspace for GeoTIF to ECW transformation that was created in FME 2016, but if unchanged it will output the ECW in WGS84, whereas the TIF is GDA2020. How can I update the ECW coordinate system for the output in FME Cloud?

Hi, we're moving our web services to Tomcat on a different host (don't ask). In the documentation. When do I Edit the services within the web interface?

We are using Tomcat, installed by itself, on the FME server on port 80. DB server is a separate Oracle Server. I need to move the web service to Tomcat on a different server, to port 80. In the documentation, it says to 1) modify the web server url in fmeserverconfig.txt, then 2) edit the services in the web interface. I assume step 2 should be a step 3, and step 2 would be to start up Tomcat, Core, Server, DB, on the servers, allowing the war files to build, correct? Thanks for any help.

FME Cloud / Server performance

Hi there, UPDATE 14th Feb 2022: I have now added my workbenches, though not sure how much more insight they will provide - I am wondering if it is the fact that an 'umbrella' process is running and taking a long time and therefore using up a lot of processing? Or if it is simply downloading a lot of zip files and then loading them into the database in a linear fashion that makes it take such a long time.I have also now upgraded my FME Cloud instance to 'Professional' - m5.xlarge, 4 CPUs, 16 GB RAM and 100GB temporary disk space - this did show an initial improvement (see additional graph data 14th Feb), but it is still averaging 00:02:15 per file, so will take 11 days just to download and upload 7,00+ files - this doesn't seem right to me?!Any pointers very gratefully received. And thanks again. I have an FME Server running on a standard FME Cloud (8 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, 25 GB Temp disk space) I am trying to understand the best set up of my workbenches / FME Cloud to en

Will the FFS reader transformer successfully read an FFS file that was created a decade ago?

I understand that FFS is an internal file format to FME, and presumably it gets updated with each new version of FME. Will the FFS Reader handle an FFS file that was created by an older (a decade old) version of FME?

Error using AttributeFileWriter and FeatureReader on FMECloud - Unfinished file?

I have a workbench which is writing out a zip file containing a shapefile using AttributeFileWriter then using a FeatureReader on the resulting zip file. It works fine in FME Desktop 2021 writing to a temp directory. When I run on FMECloud using the Temp resource folder I get an error when reading the zip file. If I download the zip file from the resource folder the file is valid. It's like the file is being held onto by the AttributeFileWriter (or it hasn't finished writing).I don't get the two warnings below in FME Desktop. It seems to imply the files haven't finished being written out. Is there any way to avoid this unfinished writing, or is there any way to take the binary shapefile zip data and read that directly without writing out to file?It might be possible to break out the workbench into multiple workbenches in the automation. This might happen on FME Server as well as FMECloud (I haven't tried it yet)

FME Server SMTP on EC2

I'm trying to use the built-in SMTP of an FME Server running on EC2 but I can't seem to get it to work. I've opened port 25 in the EC2 security group and there's, as far as I can tell, nothing else using that port. Any ideas?

In FME server, how to present feature(ids/names) in an HTML dropdown so user can have chosen feature processed by workspace ?

I'm tasked to create a webpage, that will present the user a list (about 15 long) of polygon "things" with unique name. after the user selects a "thing" I will need to generate a list of postal codes that overlap that polygon "thing". The things are temporary, so the list changes in time. I get the feeling that I need to create 2 workspaces, one producing the list of features to be used in the dropdown, then another to process the selected feature. But I'm afraid I might be overthinking this ? surely this is an often-encountered scenario ? I have not found any example using actual data in input parameters, just static enumerations. I'd love to hear which general approach fits my requirement best.Regards, Ronald

How to pass the event received from Azure Event Grid to a workspace

FME Desktop asks for floating licence server approx every 2-3 days

We recently upgraded FME Desktop (and also FME Server) from 2021.0.2.0 (b21321) to FME 2021.2.2.0 (b21806). In the past it seemed that the floating licence settings would only have to be configured once (the first time opening FME Desktop), but now users are confronted with a (floating) licence activation screen every 2-3 days or so. It's manageble, but a bit of a nuisance for our FME Desktop users. Has something changed on this front? And if so, is there an option to make sure that the (floating) licences configuration is stored for a longer period of time? Kind regards, Thijs

Tool to automate Postgresql session monitoring?

I have a question that is indirectly related to FME.In short, we have a series of ETL scripts that process data that eventually gets used for FME transformations. These scripts populate a Postgresql database and are scheduled to run on a periodic basis.Occasionally, a script will fail in its processing, leading to some database table to remain locked, for example. Currently we are using the pgadmin tool dashboard to manually detect such events and to resolve them.I was wondering if you are aware of any tool that could be used to automate the monitoring of database sessions, like sending alerts if a query takes longer then "n minutes" to complete. Thanks!Bruno
