Automation with Email Received(IMAP) returning a csv attachment as part of the body of the email.

Like the title says I want to take the csv file and store it in one of my resource folders but nothing ever gets written because the CSV contents show up as the body not the attachment.

Releasing file handles after run ?

Hi list.We have a job on an FME server job, that reads from a ZIP file. It's initiated by an outside broker, and the broker continues to perform other tasks after the FME server job has finished.We've encountered an error, where the broker tries to delete the input ZIP file 12 seconds after the FME server job ends successfully. The error message says something about other processes using the file.It doesn't happen consistently, but happens fairly often, so is there a problem with releasing file handles from ended FME server jobs ?Cheers.

Asynchronous Calls to FME Server and Polling for Job Completion

Continuing work described in this previous thread, I would like to figure out how to make asynchronous calls to FME Server and poll the job until it's completed, then capture the response. That will allow me to communicate to user in the UI what's going in while job is running, rather than just be waiting for something go happen. So far, I've switched from FMEServer.runWorkspaceWithData( repository, workspace, params, callback);toFMEServer.submitJob( repository, workspace, params, callback);which returns the job ID. There are so many ways in Javascript to now poll the service to check if the job is complete... I was hoping someone has a concise snippet to share?! Maybe there is even a feature in the API or an FME example I've overlooked .

FME Jenkins Pipeline and local GIT repos (non-GitLab)

I understand that FME can only connect to GitLab not others like Microsoft TFS/GIT or its new name Azure DevOps (locally hosted). Is there a way as a work-around to have FME via Jenkins Pipeline be started from FME to connect to the local git repo pull the requested FME project file from GIT into FME for editing or executing?I searched but didn't find much on the 'Jenkins Pipeline' topic or GIT outside of GitLab.

Trying to run different workspaces at different times within one Automation

I'm trying to use Automations to process two different workspaces at different times using related data. Specifically, the first workspace should begin at 9 pm, process a number of input files, and write enriched data to a different set of files in a shared folder. The second workspace should begin at midnight, and process the files created by the first workspace. I'm using a writer set to "FME Automations" to create a list of files from the first workspace that can be processed by the second workspace within the same Automation. That part works fine, but I don't want the second workspace to start before midnight. Should I be able to accomplish this within a single Automation?

Same file in FeatureReader and FeatureWriter

Has anyone encountered a situation whereby a FeatureReader in one workspace tries to read an XLSX file that is (still open) in a FeatureWriter in a different workspace? What would be the expected behavior? Asking because I've set up an Automation with two (time) overlapping workspaces, in which the second workspace will attempt to read files created by the first workspace.

License borrowing on different network

I have FME Desktop licensed on an air-gapped server but covid has changed my working patterns; so, for the 2 or 3 days I work from home I don't have access to my favourite software. Is there any way to borrow a license from my air-gapped server for use on a different network?

Running FME Server Automation One Time

This might be a bit of a simple question but I'm looking for a way to run an FME Server Automation as a singular event, one time, similar to right-click > Run on a Windows Scheduled Task. I'm running the Automation once per week using a Schedule Trigger, but if that Automation fails, I want to be able to manually run it again without impacting the existing schedule. I could duplicate the Automation and set the Schedule as Run Immediately but that would mean changing the Schedule settings each time. Not the end of the world, but I feel like there should be an easy way to run it just one time. I was looking at FME Server's Scheduler as well but it doesn't appear that you can setup an Automation and Trigger it one time, it seems like single workspace only. I'm running FME Server 2019.1.3.1.Any thoughts?Thanks!

I am being tasked by my manager to devise a process to move on prem FME to FME cloud. I cannt discover any documentation on this - Can you please direct me further. Regards

Looking for a tutorial to assist creating a simple web form to capture a-spatial information and push (append) it into a basic excel table

Hey, I am competent with FME Desktop, but an extreme novice to FME Server. I understand with FME server we can create web-apps and the like, and I have a great entry level task I want to see if FME can assist with. Currently we are emailed information from people within our organisation and we have to manually move this data into an excel spreadsheet. I believe with FME Server it can host a page where these fellow staff can input a few basic text items (nothing spatial at this point, that will be phase 2 of my project) and then append it to a local excel table. I am looking for a tutorial to assist me with this process. I am a little overwhelmed as all tutorials I have found so far are wanting the user to upload a file, and the server converts to another file and is returned. This is not really applicable with my basic phase 1 task. Has anyone seen something that may assist, that is targeted to n00bs? Kind regards, Ben

FeatureReader not processed on FME Server

Hi together,I have the strange problem that the FeatureReader transformer, which works fine in FME Desktop is not considered when running on FME Server. The input is a URL - the purpose of the feature reader is to download a dataset from the URL. It worked already on FME Server - and stopped for some reason I simply don't know. I have checked the log - the FeatureReader transformer was simply not run. It is not disabled. It is perfectly connected. But it does not run. Is this a known problem - did any of you see the same? FME Desktop and Server both are 2020!

How do I copy email attachments from one their landing folder to another folder using the email attachments folder parameter passed by the imap email watcher in automations?

I want to route data attached to an email from within an automation that is triggered by receiving an IMAP email. I’m willing and think I would find it preferable to simply dump the email watcher’s event JSON into a file in a directory and then use another automation to watch that directory for new email event JSON files and process from there. However, the FileCopy writer fails copying from the path parsed from the event JSON (FME Server has permissions to the folder.) Here’s the workflow:Take as input the email watcher’s event JSONParse the event JSON for the email attachment folderCopy the files in the email attachment folder to another folder.Eventually I will route attachments to different folders based on from address and subject, but I can’t get the copy to work right now. The copy fails, I think, because the FileCopy writer can’t understand the FME Server shared resource macro parameter $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) in the path for the email attachment folder. I’ve attached a wor

Output Map to any size, scale and orientation

MapFormatter custom transformer was created so that you can create a map at any size, scale and orientation. Map Sizes:A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Junior Legal, Letter, Legal, Tabloid (Ledger), ANSI A, ANSI B, ANSI C, ANSI D and ANSI E. Map Orientation:Landscape and Portrait Manually entering other sizes could be an option in the future. I have uploaded the 'MapFormatter' transformer onto the FMEHUB for you to review and provide feedback. This has been tested and at this stage, I am confident that everything works as expected, however will do more quality testing. Below is an example where the transformer was used to create a map with Aspect: MapMap Orientation: LandscapeMap Scale: 1:2000Map Size: A3WorkspaceLidar was used to create the AspectScaleBar custom transformer was used to create the scale barTransformers top left created the AspectTransformers top right created the text for the mapTransformers bottom left added the north arrow and the legend.Transformers botto

Automation Email Watcher Email Attachments Path

Why do I get this error? 2021-9-14 16:52:33 | File Copy Writer: Feature contains an invalid source dataset '$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)EmailAttachments\\20210323145356-FME_Server_Email_Watcher-External_-_LOE_Field_Ticket-ad0dc73d-6839-4747-8e4a-e6160c913495'. No file operations will be performed for this feature. The specified folder exists. I am unable to put a slash between $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) and EmailAttachments in the automation configuration best I can tell. I have tried using the StringReplacer in the called workspace to put a in a slash and that didn't work. I have attached the workbench, pic of automation, log files for automation and called workspace.

Web App to georeference pdfs/TIFFs?

We receive quite a lot of pdfs of some CAD plans that we are manually georeferencing in ArcGIS Pro. The CAD plans do exist in dxf/dwg too, but mostly a) not georeferenced and b) in a layer structure that's a total mess with no way to automate something here. So we just provide locally georeferenced pdf plans as converted TIFFs.Georeferencing here works by visually selecting some GCPs on some ortho imagery (so it's not 100% accurate) to match them with features on the pdf plan (or TIFF at this point). Is there any way to do this also in FME - and not just locally in the workbench, but as a web app on FME server? Basically there needs to be some steps involved:upload pdf and convert to tiff (should be doable)have an option that places the tiff at the current map canvas (show a map in the app that can also consume own WMS/WMTS services)have an option to create point pairs: first pick on the basemap, second pick on tiff once you have at least 3 or 4 point pairs --> have an optio

Is it possible to use deprecated (Python 2.7) transformers on the FME Server in Cloud?
