REST API call to refresh licenses fails due to CORS

Hi,When I submit a FME Server REST API call to GET /licensing/license/capabilitiesor GET /licensing/license/status on our FME Server, it runs fine returning the info requested. However, when trying to automatically refresh the license using the REST API interface, it fails complaining http 403 Access has been forbidden due to CORS. Is that because the request to refresh the license is serviced by a Safe server which is not listed in the FME Server CORS list?

Dashboards permission error

when logged in as the admin account, accessing the dashboards gives the following error:"Please ask your Server Administrator to grant 'Access' and 'List' permissions to the Resource named Dashboards. You will not be able to view any Dashboard reports without this permission."Anyone got any ideas on where to start with this? The admin account has full permissions already, I can't see anything to add.

FME Server Logic, Automations, Notifications (IF, Then)

Hi All, am trying to work out how to build some logic into an automation on FME SERVER. Here is my workflow: Workspace reads Arcgis feature service every day. If it reads a record with "Attribute A' = "HIGH" (test filter) then email bob the workspace outputs (csv of "HIGH' Records) , if "AttributeA" = "LOW" email Mary the workspace outputs (csv of 'LOW' records). I'm unsure where I'm meant to build this logic. Is it in the workspace or automation? The automation action (run workspace) only has 'Action Succeeded' or 'Action Failed'. Am I meant to be passing a notification from the workspace to the automation??. I have read all I can find on this but must be missing something. Thanks Steve.

Unable to access FME Web Interface from any machine other than the server itself

Hi all, we've just installed FME server, on a standalone machine. All components on one server. We are able to access the fme web interface from the server itself (it's configured for https) and all looks great. However we're unable to access the site from any workstations. Our network team says they have allowed traffic through port 443 (https) so we should be ok there. When trying to load the site on Chrome, we get the following error: The Site can't be reached.... took to long to respond....ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. Any thoughts? Not sure what else to try at this point. Our network team is still working on this, and trying to determine where the traffic is being blocked but thought I'd see if anyone else has had this issue. Is 443 the only port needed to be open in this case? -Thanks in advance.

Can SQLExecutor be used to get around having to read in all the data from a database table into FME and then running a feature joiner.

Can SQLExecutor be used to get around having to read in all the data from a database table into FME and then running a feature joiner?Consider the example below we need to read in the entire table of 2Million plus records to extract data we are interested in.What I think should be possible but I'm not sure how to implement it is to create a temp table and use that as a subselect or joined table to get the data using a SQL query

How can i merge an automation flow when using Dynamic workspaces

Im trying out the new Dynamic workspaces in automations. Running the workspaces works great! The problem i'm running into is as followed: The dynamic workspaces are writing out files to a folder. Depending on how often the dynamic workspace will run, several files can be created.Ones the workspaces are done, i want to start another workspace that takes all the files in that new output folder and send them by email. The workspace that sends these files out should only run once! But, since dynamic workspaces run several times both output ports will yield x amount of output features, triggering the last workspace multiple times. I thought of using a merge action but when you try to connect that to the output port of a dynamic workspace an error occurs: "Cannot connect content router ports to merge". (this also happens trying to connect it to the automation writer output port which has the attributes i need). Is there any way to only trigger a workspace once after all the Dy

Computer says no - how to build your own merge-action in FME Server Automations

I too ran into the issue raised by @jurgen in https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000084ATxeSAG/how-can-i-merge-an-automation-flow-when-using-dynamic-workspaces - that my workspace that uses an automation writer, can't be funnelled into a merge-action. In the response, @daraghatsafe said that an enhancement request is on the way - but I needed to solve the issue before then. This connection isn't possible right now Problem: We need some way of knowing that all the workspaces had run successfully, before we'd run the final step. In my case, I didn't want to update the "I've imported all the data up to and including this date"-field, until all the imports were done. Idea: What we need, is to build a state store, where we can keep track of the completed workspaces for one specific run of one specific automation. We could build this in f.ex. any database, but then we run into issues with having to create schemas/tables for each automation. Instead

Is it possible to attach a file with an unknown filename to the Email External Action?

I'm trying to attach a file to the Email External Action in an Automation that always has a different filename (date/time) but is in the same location, and is the only file in the folder. I've added this folder as a resource and tried to use a * wildcard but it fails to send the email. If I give the exact filename, the email sends successfully with the attachment. Also, I can do this successfully using the Emailer transformer in a Workspace and feeding it the exact name via a Text File Reader, but I'd rather use the External Action in Automations if possible. Any thoughts?Thanks!

How do I get the "Content" out of the trigger "FME Server Topic Notified"

Embarrassed to be asking this but in an FME Server Automation how do I get just the raw the "Content" from the trigger FME Server Topic Notified.

How can I batch a FME workspace without a workspace-runner?

Dear FME community,I have a question concerning the FME workbench. I have a pretty complex workspace where I need two different inputs, which have to be compared with each other. Both inputs require several hundred files. Now it is important that input a starts with file 1 (not with any other file) and input b also starts with the first file. Both inputs have to select one file after another in the correct order. The files are named after a certain scheme so that corresponding have the same naming parts. Manually I could just select the files, but since there are hundreds of processes, I would prefer a batch method. I tried a workspace runner, but this only can handle one input. Is there any process that can handle this? I would appreciate any hint concerning this matter.Thank you so much in advance.

How do I configure dashboards

Hi When I run the workspace "JobHistoryStatisticsGathering.fmw" I only get a csv file, nothing shows up in dashboard in FME server. Do I need to put all other workspaces "the ones that generate a html file" on schedule aswell? I mean the "AverageRunningTime,DailyAverageQuedTime,DailyTotalJobs,DailyTotalRunningTime,FailuresByWorkspace". Iam sure I read somewhere that everything is preconfigured so you just need to schedule 1 workspace and then all dashboards are generated at once and shows up in dashboard. But I cant find any option to do that, nothing in automations or schedule or anything. The only thing I find In schedule is "DashboardStatisticsGathering" wich triggers the "JobHistoryStatisticsGathering workspace" and also creates a notification "GENERATE_DASHBOARD". So I need some clarification in how to get the dashboards working without the need to put all workspaces on schedule, if that's possible. Thanks in advance.

Engines and Server Cores

I am working on revamping our corporate FME Server environment and I am trying to figure out how to spec our servers. How do the engines use the cpu cores? If I have two engines running on a four core machine, are they each using two or are there two cores sitting idle (Assuming both cores are running jobs)?

Azure Kubernetes Service - Unmet Persistent Volume Claims

TLDR: When deploying FME Server to Azure Kubernetes Service set storage.fmeserver.size to at least 100Gi in values.yaml to meet Azure File Storage minimum requirements.

httpcaller token syntax

I am probably missing something really simple here, so I am looking at this example:https://community.safe.com/s/article/streaming-geojson-with-fme-server-2016 I create a webhook, which gets me the URL and token. So I then try to use a httpcaller from FME desktop to call that webhook, and pull down the data, but just putting this url in the httpcaller https://myfmeserver/fmedatastreaming/testing/GeoJson.fmw?FEATURE_TYPES=Default.BusRoutes&token=f57z2802-4a5f-edcb-87fa-16c849facdce But I get 401 unauthorized, is that not a valid syntax for adding the token to the URL? I also tried adding in the header dialog boxes, got the same.

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

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
