FME Flow

As far as I understood from the documentation, the self-hosted FME Server (installed on my own server) can be also licensed by CPU (Dynamic Engines)?That means that I have a full control and security (especially in terms of data privacy, etc) of FME Server like self-hosted FME Server with standard engine(s), however in terms of license it acts similar to FME Cloud?So if both questions are correct then the difference between self-hosted FME Server licensed by standard engine(s) and self-hosted FME Server licensed by CPU (dynamic engines) in regards to license is that the client pays for an extra standard engine only once, but for CPU Usage as long it in hours takes - continuous payment?

Hi, I have tried to follow the suggestions in this thread to connect to Mapillary API without success.https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008vZLePSAW/hi-have-anybody-succeeded-in-connecting-the-mapillary-api-v4-with-fme-workbench-i-get-stuck-on-an-internal-server-error-when-i-use-httpslocalhost-as-redirect-url-in-the-oauth-20-webservice-authentification I am using these settings:I am just getting a login page when I test the service: Any suggestions? The result is the same with http://localhost and https://localhost. It is the same when adding Authorization under HTTP Header for Retrieve Token Parameters. Anyone got any suggestions on how to connect to the API and for example get coverage tiles.

We have FME Server hosted on a docker environment. We are using AWS, for database we are using RDS postgres, and for storage, we are using EFS. On one server we are running all core components using docker-compose. and we have lambda-based engine deployment using separate EC2 servers. Of course, both core and engine are using postgres RDS and EFS. What would the upgrade process look like? Our goal is to upgrade without losing any repository, server configuration, job logs, automation, schedules, etc.   

I tried to uninstall using the FME Server installer (EXE) file, the status stay at "removing files" for long time without progression.  I tried to uninstall the server from Windows control panel, the process hangs as well. I need to reinstall the server from C:\\ to D:\\ drive, the repair does not allow me to do that. Please advise how I can remove the Server 2021 from Window 2019 server platfor. ThanksHelen

Hi,My organisation provided me a CA signed PFX certificate.I have followed the step-by-step guide to update server.xml, web.xml and content.xml, etc.I am able to restart the FME server service.However, when I use https://locahost/ or https://<server name>/fmeserver/I contantly get the message "This is site can't provide a secure connection", and ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.click the (i) at the URL address bar shows NO certificate.I checked the other internal site, it states "This site does not have certificate."I couldn't complete the export and import Base-64 encoded X.509 cer file.How can I move forward from here to complete the HTTPS enabling?ThanksHelen

I have found specifications for desktop and server machines, but I would like to confirm what specifications are needed for a license server. What are the minimum requirements and suggested requirements?Thank you for your time,Julia

Hello! I am trying to schedule a workspace to run 17 markets. Workspace is the same for all 17 markets. After the first market ends, I want it to start the second one. I know workspace runner on FME desktop that kicks off markets one by one.The scheduling of the two markets on the FME server worked well for me. Due to the fact that I have 17 markets to run, I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. I would appreciate any advice you can provide.

Hi, I have an automation workflow that is executed by dropping a file in a target directory. If the file is a ZIP archive (filter action), a hosted FME workbench should be triggered. The workbench expects a path specification (path of the ZIP file) as user parameter. However, in the configuration interface of the automation action I don't have a dropdown to access an output key of the trigger ({file.path}). Is there any configuration to be done in the workbench to handle output keys? Edit: Using FME Server 2022.1.1 - Build 22623-win64

Hi all.2022.2 introduces triggering an automation from a webapp, in addition to triggering automations in numerous ways already defined.One such triggering is "FME Server Topic notified".Can I create a workspace, uploading it to FME Server, and have this emit such a (custom) topic, in effect triggering the automation to run ?If so, I could potentially create a webapp for such a workspace, and achieve the same functionality, couldn't I ?Alas, there are no immidiate transformers that allows such emission, but workspace FME Server Parameters include FME_TOPIC and FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE. Can they be used for this, and if so, how ?Or must I resort to using the REST interface ??

We have two FME Server environments als on two different computer environments. I copied the content of the .fsproject file from one computer environment into the other computer environment by means of copy/paste into a text file and then changing the extention to .fsproject (it's a bit of hack). No idea by doing that  the .fsproject will be altered.  However, I am then trying to import the project(.fsproject file) into the 2nd FME Server environment via "Projects" < "Manage projects" <"import". I am dragging the .fsproject file into and then clicking on "Import". After running,  I get the following error: I changed our domains name to "nameofname" for security reasons.COM.safe.fmeserver.configuration.migration.FMEConfigurationException: java.io.IOException: Error on ZipFile \\nameofdomain\aplroot$\APLDATA\FMESERVER\resources\system\temp\tomcat\22e287e6b3514dc9b4dd095174c01fb7\restServerRestore.fsconfigPROJECT IMPORT : FAILURETask Failed : Please refer to above message I tried us

We have a job running as a stream, it is not using any specific stream transformers, but it calls an API endpoint and just runs over and over (~10s) as fast as it can poll the API and write the data. The problem is the engine does not release memory between runs, so it slowly grows and grows. And if left for weeks unchecked the server starts having low memory issues. We can stop and start the stream and it will release the memory back.  There is the server config setting MAX_TRANSACTION_RESULT_SUCCESSES which we have set to the default 100, but this does not seem to restart the engine and release the memory. Not sure if a stream just counts as 1 success so it never gets to 100 or what. So, wanted to reach out for any possible solutions for this? Only idea we have is to make and schedule a job that can call the v4 API to stop and start the stream every night. Any better ideas? Maybe some configuration we are missing? Thanks a lot!  

I have points and lines, I want to snap the lines to the points, both edges, ends, and sides. I tried using the snapper and also tried using the anchored snapper, but I still don't get to snap some. I have used intersection transformer, it does the major part of the snapping but creates new points at any intersection without a point. I really would love to do this snapping based on relationship (attribute)

What I've done so far ... I've selected a .fgb from a location (the location will stay the same, however, there will be multiple .gdbs that come and go over time) I added a reader, Schema (Any Format), filtered for *.gdb.I added a FeatureReader, with a WHERE clause to only look for ... @Value(fme_feature_type_name) LIKE '%M_CSCL%' ...However, the way I've set up the FeatureReader doesn't work in it's current state.Any hints/improvements/better ways to achieve this would be appreciated, see the attached workspace.thanksJeremy   

For FME Server what are the practical differences between internal and remote Version Control? What considerations should we to take into account about when choosing between them?

Hello,I would like to ask about Rest API v3 support. For how long will it be supported yet, before it will be needed to switch to v4?  

Hi there, I am trying to use FME to automate some user management for FME Server. Specifically I would like to schedule a workspace to remove any Azure users that are not members of a role. I have worked out how to list the users and get their roles, but I can't work out how to go from this json array: ["user:admin","fmeadmin","fmesuperuser"] to the integer value 2. Can anyone please help me drop the "user:..." part from the array and count the number of items that are left over? Thanks!Marc

Hi, is there an alternate solution available from safe to replace the basic authentication for IMAP and SMTP? Since Microsoft will stop supporting this solution soon

Hello everyone,  I published a workspace with a Shapefile Reader to FME Server . When I choose 'Run Workspace' to run it, and solely upload the .shp file, it runs correctly.  For my colleagues, I made a Workspace App to run it. However, when running it through the app, I get the "Shapefile Reader: The .dbf for (...) could not be found." warning in the logfile. Naturally, there is no correct output subsequently. Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong or how it is technically possible that the exact same workspace with the exact same parameters runs differently for both interfaces? Note: I used a File/URL parameter for the Writer and specified the extension filters in the file/URL configuration to be .shp and .shz. Thanks in advance,  Fleur

Hi everybody, On FME Server, by means of Notifications (classic), I am trying to configure the Subscription "JobSubmitter_Email_JobSuccess" so that, when ANY workspace is run sucessfully on FME Server, I receive the job log as an attachment in an email message. The email message itself arrives to my email account, meaning that my TOPIC and SUBSCRIPTION are correctly configured. But the attachment does not come along. Following the inscructions on https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/ReferenceManual/About_Log_Files.htm#FME I am trying to insert the expression<LogDir>\\engine\\current|old\\jobs\\<number>\\job_<value>.login the "Email Attachment  (optional)" field. I am therefore trying to adapt it to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_LOG)/engine/current/jobs/<number>/job_{id}.logThe problem is that <number> is not a defined folder, and I cannot find a way to replace it with a valid alternative. I already tried:$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_L

I had an issue in on of my lower environments where the FME Server related services (Application Server, Server Core, Server Database, Server Engines) were stopped and switched to Local System Log On keeping the workbench from being able to access the necessary source data directories. I reconfigured the services to log on using the established service account and am now receiving the following error."There was an error submitting the job. COM.safe.fmeserver.api.FMEServerException: Could not load all queues due to connection issue to job router. Please try again."Has anybody experienced this and have a solution?

We have two FME server 2021.2.6 instances running (one Test and one Production environment) and on both environments every job/workspace fails to run with the following error. A Python interpreter could not be loaded. Please ensure the workspace `Python Compatibility` is set to an available Python version On one of the environments an automation runs a workspace every 5 minutes. In the logging we can see that the jobs began failing at exactly midnight 11-25-2022. The runs before midnight logged no errors, the run at midnight and all runs after that failed. Does anybody have any suggestions what may have caused this, and how to solve this?

I'm looking to make a query which uses the spatial data in the planning brief to search cadastre, duct, duct_route and SL layers. So that I can change each planning layer can become searchable and have an output. We are currently working with MapInfo.

Hi, I have tried this method: https://community.safe.com/s/article/cannot-check-out-floating-license-but-have-borroweit didn't work. I have been given 2 accounts by my IT. my normal account, with locked license, I can't return the license because everytime I try to open fme desktop it shuts down itself. licenses are available. But, when I try to open fme desktop with my local admin account it opens just fine. BUT in license manager it shows as I am using 2 licenses?
