FME Flow

Hi All,I’ve enabled versioning control in FME flow and connected it to our Azure dev ops repository.I can commit and push files to the master branch, but I can’t push to any other branch or sub-folder.cThis is an issue as we have 10 different FME Flow environments and all workbenches are being pushed into the same branch and repository. Is there any way to choose which specific folder or branch each FME flow instances connects to? Cheers

Hi All - I have done this multiple types with different data formats/inputs (e.g., Excel, CSV, Shapefiles) with no issue. However, I can’t seem to be able to allow end-users to select a fgdb from their drive and use as an input for the script (very simple script which converts Feature Class to other formats). The Workbench works perfectly fine via setting up a User Parameter which is linked to the ESRI File Geodatabase FeatureReader. I could even add another User Parameter to allow users to select specific Feature Classes for the script which is handy too but not necessary (linked to Feature Types to Read).However, once this is published in Flow then the interface doesn’t allow for the end-user to “Upload Files” like other Self-Serve Apps I have created. You only have the option to “Browse Resources” which doesn’t let you browse your computer to select the relevant File Geodatabase. Note that I have tweaked with the User Parameter “Item to Select” choice and chosen either ‘Folder’ or ‘

We’ve recently upgraded to FME Flow 2024.2 and have started encountering an issue where some of our processes fail to write to ArcSDE using the Geodatabase writer. The error message appears, but I can’t determine the root cause.Some processes are able to write to the SDE consistently, while few others mostly fail—though they have occasionally succeeded. I’ve tried re-uploading with various ArcGIS default settings, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.We’re currently using ArcGIS Desktop 2022.Any insight would be appreciated. 2025-7-7 09:44:12 | Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details  

 Since using FME Flow version 2024.2.3, running on Windows Server 2022. we face the following issues.BackgroundWe found that in FME Flow 2024.2.3 the network security protocol TLS1.3 is not configured by default. We expect it to work, see e.g. FME Community TLSv1.3 Support).  Also, for TLSv1.3, the minimum requirements for the versions of OpenSSL and Java used are:Tomcat 9.0.13 and later versions have built-in TLS 1.3 support For TLS 1.3 support, you need JDK 1.8.0_170 or later.As FME Support Third Party Component Versions reports, FME Flow 2024.2.3 uses Tomcat 9.0.91 and Java JDK 17.0.12+7.Actions First step: We enabled TLSv1.3 on our Server, by including the following keys in the Windows Registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.3 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.3\Server "Enabled"=dword:00000001 "DisabledByDefa

Maybe someone has experienced this before, i have been trying to make an workspace App in fme FLOW 2023, the goal is to make an app where the user can choose the source file. I have tried creating the App but it does not allow the user to choose the file location.does someone have an idea what i may be missing out? I am using the FME PATH reader. Thanks,Keller.

We are wondering which version of FME Flow will support ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. Looking on the history in Notes on FME and Esri Versions and Compatibility I would guess it might be 2025.1?

Hello, I’m new to working with Flow automations and still fairly beginner level with FME. I appreciate any guidance you can provide.The WorkspaceI am working with ArcGIS Online and Field Maps. We have teams in the field everyday collecting data. At the end of the day I run a workspace that tidies up their tracklogs and calculates how many km they covered and hours spent.I’m using 2024.2 build 24783 for both Form and Flow.What I want to achieveHaving this data in the feature service isn’t enough. I also want an email summarising this information.How can I do this with Flow Automations?What I’ve triedWith the Email action I see options to send basic information like attaching the log, how much time it took to run, what time it ran, but I want more detailed information to show in the email. The information is an FME Feature Attribute created in the workspace pictured below.One colleague said it wasn’t possible in Flow and is better to do in Form using the Emailer transformer. Is that corr

Hi,I’ve developed a workbench that scans a selected folder and generates an Excel document listing its contents. I’d like to publish it to FME Flow, allowing users to input a folder path from the same PC where the workspace is executed. However, the app is currently failing. Is this setup possible?

Hi all! First post here, so I’m excited to get some feedback!For context, I do a report on our organization’s EV chargers every month. In this report, I need to calculate the average time of day people are charging, the average charge time (duration), and the total duration.Currently, I am unable to get the average duration and the total duration.Here’s my processConvert the time to FME format using a DateTimeConverter Sum and average the times using a SatisticsCaclulator I attempt to convert the summary back into H:MM...But then I am met with the below error: Where am I going wrong?

Hi there, I know it is possible to use attributes from a workspace in a Flow automation by using the automation writer, however that seems to only work if you connect the output port of the automation writer to your next action in Flow. I need a way to use these values in a later event without connecting the port.Scenario:Webhook trigger → runs a workspace to create a report that is then stored in a resource folder, also outputs a few attributes that i want to use in the body of my email action. I then have a resource or network directory trigger that fires when a new file is added, this triggers an email to be sent. The issue:If i connect the automation writer port to the email action then i end up with two emails. One contains the attributes in the body but with no attachment. the other contains the attached file but is missing the attributes.Any help would be much appreciated,Cheers

Hi,I created a workspace that uses an Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature Service. The workspace run on FME Form and on FME Flow if i run it. However, once I make an workspace app from the workspace on FME Form I get the following error and my workspace fails: 89 2025-7-2 14:58:39 | ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader: Connection 'AGOL service' does not exist. Check connection parameter and connection definitions in FME options and try again  Here is a screenshot from my jobs. Lower one is of my run and top one is through the workspace app.  We are running on FME Flow 2023.2.4

I see there’s already an Idea for providing the option for versioning Automations in FME Flow but the Idea was created 5 years ago and there doesn’t seem to have been any traction on it.So, in the absence of any official support from Safe, what are people doing with regard to creating and saving versions of Automations?Currently, if I make a change to an Automation but then need to revert that change there’s no way of doing it once it’s been saved.The only workaround for this I can think of is to make a Project containing the Automation and then manually exporting the project (and saving it to a version control system) before making any changes to the Automation. The obvious problem with this is that it relies on:remembering to export a Project before making any Automation changes making sure the Project name is consistent (hard to do with multiple people editing)There does not seem to be any System Event that is triggered on Automation change and no API call available for downloading

Hello everyone,I have some experience with Workspace apps, but not as much with Automation apps. In my previous work with Workspace apps, I created an app that is based on user input on a map. When a user clicks on the Run button, the "Running..." button appears. Once the script finishes successfully, the user can download a ZIP file by clicking on the Datadownload URL.Now, I’m trying to build something similar using an Automation app, but I’ve found the process to be quite different.Based on the following post, I’ve set up the following: I have a manual trigger that includes a manual parameter called "Geometry" (GEOM). This GEOM parameter is then used in the subsequent Workspace. Similar to the Workspace app, I want to show a "Running..." button while the script is running, and once it finishes, makes a download URL available to the user. However, the only feedback to the user is the green "Automation Triggered." message.There’s no further feedback for the user, that the script is r

Hi,I created a token that is used in an HTTPCaller to download Workspaces from Flow via the Flow REST API. I granted the token only permission to access Repositories which worked fine but the problem is that as soon as a new repository is created, the initial permission is not extended for this new repos.  It seems that I either have to manually re-grant permissions everytime a new repository is created or grant “All Permissions”. Is there any better option?   

Hi guys we have a generic translator app built in workspace app. however we often has issue when there’s no output written (file generated for download) or translation failed. on the app it still display process completed but return no download link.  Im using downloading service on writter outputs but wondering if there’s a way to let it return a message or simplely inform user traslation failed / error occured / or no output was generated. thanks!

Hello,I have automation which triggers a workbench and has to send result file on email in the end.The resulted excel file has dynamic name with @DateTimeNow parameter.How to set that automation takes the correct file? If I add fixed name, it works fine but I don’t know how to make it for dynamic name. Could anyone help, please?

We have set up an automation to send data to a number of ArcGIS Portals,In each of the portals we have set up an application and in FME Flow Hosted we have set up corresponding web connections.The issue we are finding is that every day we need to re-authenticate the connections, other wise our automation fails to complete from start to end.Is there are way to ensure the web connections automatically authenticate or is there a way to run a process each day to refresh / re-authenticate? 

Is it possible to have a log out button/log out link in an Automation App?

Hello,I followed the FME Flow tutorial to trigger a workspace when an email is received using the SMTP protocol:https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407759987981-Run-a-Workspace-in-Response-to-Incoming-Email#FME-Flow-email-via-SMTP-protocolThe server is a Linux Debian server, and ports 25 and 7125 are open on the firewall.I tested it on port 7125, then on port 25, and finally on port 25 with redirection to port 7125, but it still doesn't work.The log files show no trace of emails arriving on FME Flow...I don't understand what's blocking it...

Hello everyone,I already looked at the following post, but this post is already 6 years old. Myself I don't have any experience with the the FMEServerJobSubmitter and I was wondering if there are other ways to pass the job-id from one workspace to another workspace in an automation.  I tried using the automation writer as a method to pass a job-id from one workspace to another workspace, but that doesn't seem to work, the job-id is empty in the second workspace.

We use Azure Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory) with FME Flow to login the application.So now we have two methods: 1. user name and password2. button "Sign in with Microsoft"My colleagues often use the first method, which does not work for them.I set up the system events to notify me when a login is failed. But now I would like to know who tried and failed to login. Is there a log that shows the username someone used to try to login? Does anyone know which logfile it is in?ps it would be nice if I could hide the first login method. But that method is used by the admin-account. So I guess that is not an option.

I have an automation which has a few workbenches which are SQLExectutors that gather parameters and write to automation writers.  There are then workbenches which consume these parameters and use them for processing..  In the automation setup I assign the parameters to the incoming attributes.  This process runs weekly.  It runs successfully but occasionally it starts failing, when I go into the automation it is failing because these parameters have reverted to their default values. I have to re-assign them back to attribute values.  How is this happening by itself? This process isn’t being touched by anyone else and will run successfully for months. This is in FME Flow 2023.2.1

Hi Everyone,I have created a Server App (as admin) and gave an active directory account a right to run it (please, see attached)Then, using app's url I log in as myself (dshatilov) and run the app. I thought it would run the job (the workspace) as dshatilov, but yet it runs it as admin. Is there a way to fix it? What I am trying to achieve is to be able to run a server app as an active directory user and automatically extract user's name, so I could send the results back to a user without asking him or her to type in an email address.When I log in as myself to the FME server and run the workbench from there, it runs it as dshatilov and sends the results back to my address, but when I run the server app, it doesn't. 

We have an automation that is triggered daily with a CRON expression which runs 4 workspaces. The first 3 workspaces are run in parallel and the fourth runs on successful completion of one of the workspaces. Last night, two events appear to have been triggered at the scheduled time and so each workspace was run twice. Has anyone ever come across anything similar? I can’t see any obvious errors in the logs

Hi, our IT department have reported Apache Tomcat Vulnerability CVE-2025-49124 which impacts both our production and non-production servers running FME Flow 2024.2.1.Has anyone else reported this to Safe Software and is there a plan to provide a fix in 2025.1.4?DescriptionUntrusted Search Path vulnerability in Apache Tomcat installer for Windows. During installation, the Tomcat installer for Windows used icacls.exe without specifying a full path.
