Set the shared resource folders during silent installation ?.

Hello, If I do a silent (command-line) installation of FME would it be possible to set the shared resource folder as well? I don't see a flag for it in the documentation. https://krogerfeedback.nl https://talktosonic.onl https://talktowendys.vip https://whataburgersurvey.onlSame question applies to some of the other FME options (database connections file, network proxy settings). If those could be set during a silent install it would make it easier for IT staff to run them more frequently. thanksjackyjoy

Question about Packages - user access and lifecycle

Do packages need to be re-uploaded when FME Server is updated to a new version?Are uploaded packages available on a per-user basis or are packages uploaded by one user available for use by another user on FME Server? Thanks

Understanding data streaming ?

Hi list.(This is not about the new streams feature)We're trying to utilize FME server for processes, that accept a streaming input and produces a streaming output. I.e. HTTP handlers.As far as I can tell, you can't initiate such a process via the REST api, as this overrules the output with its own JSON stream. You need to create and use a webhook. Is this correct ?Even with a webhook it seems, that the streaming input (= POST body) is ignored. Are there some special requirements in the formatting of this input ?Our input is a custom XML format.Our output needs to be a CAD file. All examples only name XML and JSON as options, so is this even possible ? If so, what are the specific requirements to accomplish this ?Any insights are appreciated.Cheers.

How could I send notifications from a scheduled job (15 seconds)?

Hi, I have a workspace that is retrieving me data from an API every 15 seconds, thus I can have a web app that can read the messages trough a websocket and then display the info on a map (similar to the FME demo: http://demos.fmeserver.com/spatialdashboard/index.html ) In my case, I am not using it to show moving objects but to locate earthquakes, and the interval only allows to keep my data up to date. Now if I want to send a notification via email, for example with earthquakes reaching a certain magnitude, how can I prevent my notification from being triggered every 15 seconds and instead only send notifications once per event? Thanks

Email Not Being Sent From Scheduler

I have a workspace that I published to FME Server (2020.2.4) that contains an Emailer transformer. The email sends correctly from when I run the workspace in Workbench and also when I run the workspace in FME Server. But when I create a schedule for this workspace and run the workspace from the Scheduler the email is not sent. Do I need to do some additional steps or configuration to get the Emailer to work from the Scheduler?

Writing to AzureBlob with FME Server (Source

Dear community,I have a small issue writing to my Azure BlobStorage with FME Server. When I run my script locally with ABSOLUT PATH it works fine, but when I try to change to a relativ path, it will not upload anything. Any advises. I guess it has something to to with the InputFile for Uplaoding to the Blob, which ist not specfied in the right way.(dem10 INVALID_FILE Source file does not exist) --> Inputpath: $(FME_DATA_REPOSITORY)+@Value(fme_basename) Regards, Alex

FME Server 2021.0 API returns raw encoded string not value

Hi everyone, I'm making a call to the FME Server API to get a list of Schedules and I'm getting back "raw" encoded strings in the json response, but I would like the "values". Is there any way to do it? Here's an example request, which uses a token that I set up in FME Server (the token only has access to the Schedules) : The json returned looks like this : {"offset":-1,"limit":-1,"totalCount":65,"items":[{"owner":"me","request":{"publishedParameters":{"name":"MyURLAttribute","raw":"https:<solidus><solidus>myFMEServer.com<solidus>something<solidus>blah"}...The "raw" values look like they're encoded eg. "<solidus>" instead of "/" I was expecting :{"offset":-1,"limit":-1,"totalCount":65,"items":[{"owner":"me","request":{"publishedParameters":{"name":"MyURLAttribute","value":"https://myFMEServer.com/something/blah"}...I tried changing the "response encoding" to the system default but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas?

Is there a way to get a more verbose log from automations that don't have a workspace?

This is actually a 2 part question:Is there a way to get a more verbose log from automations that don't have a workspace?If I can view the logs from the menu on the automation page, aren't the logs stored in a file somewhere on the server? So I can retrieve them in a file format? Thanks!

GCP Service Account - Web Connection

I have a 3 server site for FME Server 2020.2.3. This morning, all 3 of the servers had the FME Server Application Server service stopped and disabled. What could cause the service to be disabled?

I've seen where the service may not start after windows updates and restart. Setting to Automatic (Delayed Start) can help with restarting after reboot.

PDF Reader failing to read email attachment

I have an automation setup in FME Server 2021.1 that polls an inbox and parses the pdf email attachment. I'm receiving a failure from the reader attempting to parse the pdf with a filename that contains a certain character –. It is reading the character as "??". I tried to identify this online and it shows it as U+2013 : EN DASH. I can see this is a formatting issue, but what can I do to fix this if I have no control over the filename that will be sent to the inbox?

I have tested this with existing and new server apps, as well as with multiple browsers. Does anybody know how to remove this? FME Server Build2021.121607 - Win64

Is it possible to trigger an automation when executing an FME Server app?

We have upgraded from FME 2014 to 2020 and we want to take advantage of the new available features.The problem here is that I thought automations would make everything easier and could replace things like using shutdown python scripts to do whatever when the workspace fails or end as expected but I don't see automations can help us when our trigger would be just the execution of an FME Server app.Any ideas?

License server calling closed ports

We have an issue where the license server (flex) is going through loads of ports which are closed before finding an open one, as a result everytime we try to run FME it hangs for about 30s waiting for the license ping back, is there anything we can do to try to consistently use an open port? We dont seem to have issues with other licenses that are hosted on that server.

What permissions do I need for a webhook with upload options?

I've setup a workbench and published it to server that takes a PDF and an XML file as two of it's inputs and I would like to call it via a webhook. It is easy to create a webhook but they appear to assume you will use HTTP GET requests and it is unclear if they can use the upload function. I think it might have something to do with the additional permissions but is there an example somewhere that shows how to setup a webhook that takes an upload as an input parameter?I'd also like to know if the requests would be expected to be sent as an HTTP POST request in this context with the relevant parameters including the file with associated mime types? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks

Send a single email if multiple Automation workspaces fail

Is there any way to send a single, aggregated email listing all failed workspaces if multiple workspaces in an FME Server Automation fail?For example, if I have 3 workspaces running in parallel and 2 of the 3 fail, I'd like a single email telling me which 2 failed.It looks like this might be possible with the new Split-Merge block in FME 2021 but, unfortunately, I'm on FME Server 2020.
