IF I WANT TO FIND RELATED INFORMATION FOR A VERY SMALL AREA MAYBE A 1 MILE SQUARE AOI BUT I HAVE N SDE DATABASE WITH PROBABLY 14 MILLION RECORDS IN IT. THERE IS NO ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO PREQUERY THE DATABASE RECORDS THAT WOULD BE RELATED.ALSO THERE COULD BE 4 OR 200 RELATED RECORDS. I HAVE TRIED A LOT OF DIFFERENT METHODS. BUT CANNOT FIND A WAY OTHER THAN READING ALL 14 MILL RECORDS. AND IF I HAVE 2 SMALL AOIs THEN I HAVE TO WAIT ALL OVER AGAIN. THE SOURCE OF THE AOI IS USSUALLY KMZ LINE PLACEMARK. ANY HELP OR IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECITATED.

If there any way to configure Server Apps to have require authentication by default? Would it be possible that only an Administrator have permission to turn off authentication on a Server App?

I tried to install a python package in cmd, windows 10, but got error "This workspace requires a Python 2.7 interpreter". How do I make it use python 3.* instead? The same command worked for my colleague so something is wrong in my program setup. I have python 3 installed also.  C:\\Program Files\\FME 2022.2.2>fme.exe python -m pip install cron-descriptor --target C:\\Users\\as302\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\PythonERROR : This workspace requires a Python 2.7 interpreter, but FME has removed Python 2.7 support starting with FME 2022.0.

Hello all,I have an ArcGIS Portal Hosted Feature Layer that has a number of sublayers. One of the layers contains photo attachments.  I've had success when the attachments are not in a sublayer using this video as a reference: FME World Tour 2022 How Do You Get 30K Photo Attachments Out of ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online? - YouTube However, I'm stuck trying to figure out how to download the photos given they are in a sublayer. The Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service doesn't seem to offer the option of sublayer access. Thanks

I've never seen these key outputs when selecting my action to filter messages.  Previously, my FME automation was set to filter through my file / directory parent folder to find the correct file needed (when triggered) and then run the respective workspace.  Would "Workspace Name" be the correct choice to use here?   

Hi,My workspace is reading data from excel and uploading it to gis database. Data streaming is used to be able to return an html to the user.  My implementation works if it's run natively from the fme application, but when it's uploaded to the server it will start a duplicate of the same job after 5 minutes. Both of these jobs will then run from start to finish, meaning that duplicates will be created.It seems that this happens only when the excel file has atleast 330 rows. I have also checked that engine does not crash. 

Sorry this is going to be a bit of a jumbled question: Recently we started having some issues on our FME Server - When accessing the URL "https://<hostname>.<domain>/fmeserver" would return an error 404. I found some information online involving the WAR folders found under: <ServerInstallDirectory>\\Utilities\\tomcat\\webapps\\ I followed the steps and regenerated the folders. Now when I access the URL: "https://<hostname>.<domain>/fmeserver" is works correctly! However... Now with the newly created WAR folders if I access the URL: "https://<hostname>.<domain>" (note: specifically excluding the /fmeserver) I get

Hi all.I have two sets of automations, where all automations in set 1 needs to be all done before initaiting all automations in set 2.I'm wondering what the best practice is for this scenario ?I tried to include an active wait mechanism in the set 2 automations, but then they just got started first, blocking the set 1 automations.I'm starting all set 1 automations with a single (topic) trigger, as they may run in parallel, and I can start all set 2 automations with another single trigger. But all set 2 need to wait for all set 1 to finish, and that I can't do with triggers as far as I know.All help and suggestions are appreciated.Cheers

I'm wondering to what degree items uploaded to FME Hub are checked? Are they considered "safe to download" or "use at your own risk"? Imagine a wild scenario where I would upload a custom transformer with a SystemCaller in it that formats the c drive, will that get flagged or not? (and what if I password-protect it?)

Hi, Where can I download License Generator that I need to use for my LicenseChecker?

Hello all, When will FME (server and desktop) be supported on the new Ubuntu LTS release 22.04? Thanks for your interest, Martin

I have a workspace that proceses a lot of features and then writes it to a geopackage but it replaces the file with new data.I want if the file exists to append the features if it does not exists to create the file.How do i do that?

Hello,We install a second server FME to update the version. When this version will be ok, we will stop the old server. All is ok if we run the new server manually but it doesn't work when we want to run fmeserver like a service. 5 services is ok but the fmeserver-database.service doesnt work.  Have you an idea? Thanks

A question coming from an organisation with many machines installed with FME servers (40+). Next to the installation we also require a lot of time in configuration for the FME server deployments. We would like to automate deployment and configuration in the near future. We have found Ansible and Chef and also Kubernetes. With kubernetes we have succesfully deployed FME server on premise. The only major issue is the esri dependency of Arcpy scripts and SDE databases. Therefore we are looking for Ansible as a serious candidate for automation. We would like to automate as much as possible, not only because it saves times, but also to make sure all the machines are perfectly similarily deployed. Any tips or recommendations from other users/Safe software? Thanks in advance.

Last saturday (23:46) I recieved the first message above. Then, at Sunday (00:01) I received the second one. Should I be worried about that? (So far, I have not received that kind of message again.)

I have a workbench intended to run daily on FME Server. It does the usual data transformation stuff and then it email reports to a member of staff once per week. The report contains information relating to contractor performance over a 30 day period. I only want to send out a report if there's in new activity in the past 30 days. Currently, I have 9 x reports (one for each contractor). The reports are updated daily. I want the Emailer transformer to email only those reports containing new activity. I have gotten as far as calculating which reports are valid (i.e. within 30days) and using an Attribute Creator to fanout a new attribute, being the path & filename of the report. The Emailer then reads the fanout parameter as the Source File, picks it up and sends it. The problem is, the Emailer is sending each attachment in individual emails. I want the transformer to recognise which reports are valid and then send them together in a si

Hi! We're using FME Server 2021.1.3 Build 21631 - win64. Since last update have problems with access to libraries. Some of jobs crashes on random way. For example:"Module 'VectorToRasterFactory' is unavailable for use with this FME edition"" Library 'C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\plugins/VectorToRasterFactory.dll' was found but could not be loaded.

Need to install arcgis pro 2.9.5 on the FME servers so FME has access to ESRI projection engine. How I can proceed there is any documentation that what are the prerequisite and how to install.

I need to perform FME server (2022) silent installation in EC2 machine, do I need to create response file or there is any script that we can directly execute using cmd.

I'm very new to the concept of deploying things within a Docker environment. As far as I know, FME Server works perfectly fine with this but what about the interaction with FME Server after it´s up and running. Are you as a workspace author just uploading your workspaces like you do on a normal FME Server on a regular Windows plattform? Same with FME Projects? My second question is if there is a way to use Docker and Jenkins to install FME Projects instead of the normal way through FME Server Gui import/export. RegardsStefan

I am having issues with using the payload that is being sent to the webhook in FME server. I have setup a webhook, I watched this video: https://www.safe.com/webinars/hook-line-and-sinker-reeling-in-arcgis-webhooks/ But I cannot set the same values in my ParameterFetcher and my Workspace on FME server is not allowing me to set anything with webhook.  I have the webhook created and I am able to log the webhook message to the logs and see the expected output. I am having issues sending it into an fme workspace.

Hi all.Has anyone attempted this ?I'm exploring the possibility, and although it ought to be possible, it fails to validate.One this puzzles me though: All configuration examples I've googled, mentions both an EMAIL ADDRESS and a USERNAME, which is also an email. And they're different when accessing a shared mailbox.But the automation trigger only has one "IMAP Email Account" setting.Is the IMAP trigger missing a setting ?Cheers.

I am trying to set up an automated fme workbench to run once a day. I ran the Workbench in FME Server and it ran just fine without error. All this workbench does is run a SQL Creator that sends the data to an excel writer (one for each type of permit) and then it saves the files into a folder on FME Server. That is all it does. The version is FME Server 2022.2.1.
