FME Flow

Hi everyone, I would be happy if somebody can give a thought to address the issue on automating FME. Presently, I am processing .csv files in FME to create some spatial data (points/lines). Problem is the .csv files are located inside Azure Blob storage containers along with several datasets. I am manually finding out the latest containers to download the csv file to local directory and then processing the same using FME workbenches. I have already added a AzureBlobStorage Container in FME and connection parameters successfully, but not getting a sense how to download all the csv files automatically from all containers and store it to a local or temp directory to process further. My Flow is -- Creator > AzureBlobStorageConnector Additionally trying to find out any possible way to create a mail or other alert system, so that, whenever new data would be uploaded/downloaded/deleted to Azure, it will show up in fme.

Does the FME Desktop Professional Edition License Server log usage?

I have a workspace which goes off to the www to download a file for processing further along the workbench. Once the task has completed how can i automate deleting all contents of the specified folder. I am aware of directory watch to do something when a folder is modified or deleted, but i just want to delete the contents.....

Hi! I would like to ensure that no scheduled task could be triggered between 5:00 and 5:30 AM because its the maintenance time of some other servers that interfer with the tasks. I use to set schedule time manually outside of this range but sometimes, for obscur reason, tasks are delayed and put in queued and are triggered during this period and cannot complete successfully. Is it possible to define an exception time range where no task can be triggered at all? Thank you

I have a job that processes a lot of data (sqlite file +/- 50MB) and during the execution the job get automatically relaunched. The first job finishes without failure after the relaunch. When I execute the same process with a smaller dataset this doesn't happen. It is as if that the recovery call to the rest api doesn't know that the job is still running

I am trying to set up an FME Server Automation, which runs a model every first day of the month. I bump into 2 issues: 1) To set up the schedule trigger, i can not choose "every first day of the month". Apperently the monthly option only lets you choose a montly run from the day it is today (in this case every first monday of the month). How to go about? 2) I want to let the input parameters change for each monthly run. In this case the model does a calculation from a start date until an end date, and the start date needs to be the first day of the previous month and the end date the first day of the month it runs. How can I make these input parameters a variable? All suggestions welcome!

I have a Transform master workspace. Depending on the input this workbench can start three different types of other workspaces. The Transform master is called using an API, that should be notified when the transformation is complete. But my problem is that I want the master script to not wait for the job submitter to complete so that it does not block one of our engines. Is there a way to send back the job ID of the job submitter to the API instead of the master job ID? Or any similar solution to this problem? Thanks, Samuel

I created some shared file resource folders by editing the fmeServerConfig.txt file. Then after I removed the new shared source codes and restarted the server, the folder still displays under the web interface. How do I delete those unused folders? Thank you.

Background maps has stopped working - this link: https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/orto_foraar_wmts_DAF?service=WMTS&request=GetCapabilities&token=dcfd5bb56caa13f5f4fcef0b65c45f8e works in other applications (QGIS 3.16) and used to work flawlessly in FME. Upon updating it has stopped working as a background map, but seems to work as intended in FeatureReader. What happened to background maps? And what can I do to fix it? FME Desktop 2021.1.3.0 21631

I want to build a workbench (for publishing to a FME Server) that converts any DWF file to a DXF file of the same name. I started by use the Generate Workspace Dialog and ticked Dynamic Schema. However, the name of the output DXF is hardcoded. I would like the name of the output DXF to be the same as the name of the input DWF (with DXF extension). How do I make this work?

Currently we are usen FME Desktop 2020.1. In the webconnection we have made connections to our ESRI platform (Arcgis Enterprise). SO when using a workbench data can be extracted from our arcgis enterprise portal. Is it possible to secure the data stored in a web connection in FME Desktop. We would like to prevent anyone who has gained acces to one of our account to also use the web connections to reach the account data stored in the web connection.

Hallo, i need something like this in FME / FME server. to be able to automate it. Currently I use ArcGis Desktop like the picture. Which FME component is the right one.

Hi, Could anyone tell me - Does an FME server deployment within Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) support the Azure CNI networking plugin? I cannot see a reference to this in the documentation - my assumption is yes, but would like confirmation. Thanks, Matt

--------------------------- Have Installed the FMESERVER 2013. FME SERVER and application service is running fine. I have also placeed the safe.lic in the flexserver path. When I try to run the FME license server in windows service, I get the below error. Please help Services --------------------------- Windows could not start the FME License Server service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

I would like to know if there is anyway I could export an ESRI FGDB to XML Document within FME and not through the manual process in Arc Catalog?

We have a script in FME Engine Linux FME Server 2021.0.1 Build 21313 - linux-x64 Why we can't transfer file via sftp using planned actions. And why we can transfer manually using the same script.

I've uploaded an old FMW workspace for GeoTIF to ECW transformation that was created in FME 2016, but if unchanged it will output the ECW in WGS84, whereas the TIF is GDA2020. How can I update the ECW coordinate system for the output in FME Cloud?

We are using Tomcat, installed by itself, on the FME server on port 80. DB server is a separate Oracle Server. I need to move the web service to Tomcat on a different server, to port 80. In the documentation, it says to 1) modify the web server url in fmeserverconfig.txt, then 2) edit the services in the web interface. I assume step 2 should be a step 3, and step 2 would be to start up Tomcat, Core, Server, DB, on the servers, allowing the war files to build, correct? Thanks for any help.

Hi there, UPDATE 14th Feb 2022: I have now added my workbenches, though not sure how much more insight they will provide - I am wondering if it is the fact that an 'umbrella' process is running and taking a long time and therefore using up a lot of processing? Or if it is simply downloading a lot of zip files and then loading them into the database in a linear fashion that makes it take such a long time. I have also now upgraded my FME Cloud instance to 'Professional' - m5.xlarge, 4 CPUs, 16 GB RAM and 100GB temporary disk space - this did show an initial improvement (see additional graph data 14th Feb), but it is still averaging 00:02:15 per file, so will take 11 days just to download and upload 7,00+ files - this doesn't seem right to me?! Any pointers very gratefully received. And thanks again. I have an FME Server running on a standard FME Cloud (8 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, 25 GB Temp disk space) I am trying to understand the best set up of my workbenches / FME Cloud to enable the most effic

Is there a way to connect to the bash of the Fme Server from the cloud? I want to install a couple custom Linux packages from the command line, like Wine, Docker, GCC, is that possible?

I understand that FFS is an internal file format to FME, and presumably it gets updated with each new version of FME. Will the FFS Reader handle an FFS file that was created by an older (a decade old) version of FME?

Hello all, Our IT department has the policy to remove all the vulnarible Log4j related files from the systems which came from a server scan. We have a FME server 2020.1 with engine 2020.2.5 The scan gives the following files: C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\plugins\\activemq-all-5.6.0.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\plugins\\log4j-1.2.16.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\FMEEngineUpgrade\\plugins\\activemq-all-5.6.0.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\FMEEngineUpgrade\\plugins\\log4j-1.2.16.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\lib\\log4j-1.2.14.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\tomcat\\webapps\\fmeapiv4.war C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\tomcat\\webapps\\fmeapiv4\\WEB-INF\\lib\\logback-classic-1.2.3.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\tomcat\\webapps\\fmerest.war","WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\tomcat\\webapps\\fmerest\\WEB-INF\\lib\\log4j-1.2.14.jar What would be the effe

I have a workbench which is writing out a zip file containing a shapefile using AttributeFileWriter then using a FeatureReader on the resulting zip file. It works fine in FME Desktop 2021 writing to a temp directory. When I run on FMECloud using the Temp resource folder I get an error when reading the zip file. If I download the zip file from the resource folder the file is valid. It's like the file is being held onto by the AttributeFileWriter (or it hasn't finished writing). I don't get the two warnings below in FME Desktop. It seems to imply the files haven't finished being written out. Is there any way to avoid this unfinished writing, or is there any way to take the binary shapefile zip data and read that directly without writing out to file? It might be possible to break out the workbench into multiple workbenches in the automation. This might happen on FME Server as well as FMECloud (I haven't tried it yet)

Hi, We have installed a FME Server 2020.1.1.1 with a 2020.2.5.1 engine. Our security department has te following questions : • Are there plans to upgrade the Java version to the newest version? • Is the installation of Adobe Reader/Writer a part of the global installation? • Is the installation of Adobe Flash a part of the global installation? Hopefully somebodey can answer the questions. with kind regards, John van der Kleijn Functional manager GIS Municipality Eindhoven

I'm trying to use the built-in SMTP of an FME Server running on EC2 but I can't seem to get it to work. I've opened port 25 in the EC2 security group and there's, as far as I can tell, nothing else using that port. Any ideas?
