Hi FME community,I am trying to fanout to a GDB using FME 2025.1.2 in windows. I keep getting this error :Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Type Definition 'd_y_n' was requested, but not defined. Please visit https://www.safe.com/supportGEODATABASE_FILE writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details When i just simply export without fanout it works fine. I have tried removing fme_template_feature_type using attributemanager (even though it is not an attribute in my database) also tried AttributeKeeper. Nothing seems to work. Thank you
Hello Forum, In FME Flow's App builder I would like the word in the OK button to be 'Run' instead of 'OK'. This is because OK, is often thought of as also meaning close (yes, I know the users could just close the browser tab). But of course, in the case of FME Flow Apps OK most definitely means 'run it'. So, it would be better if the word OK was replaced by Run. I've looked in Flow Apps>Manage Workspace Apps>(click the App in question)>Customise, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change the wording of the OK button. Any ideas? Thanks,Stuart
Hi have a flow which takes in data from a secure file transfer protocol, processes the data and produces two CSV files. Currently these files are written to a local drive. How can they be saved to the FME server so that they can be used in other workflows during a particular session and then deleted afterward? Im guessing a flow parameter needs to be created and then pointed to by the writer but I really cant figure this out exactly
I have an automation that trigger an HTTP Request to get informations on a job :host.com/fmeapiv4/jobs/{user.id} The HTTP request is send and I get my response : {"id":122,"engineHost":"localhost","engineName":"localhost_Engine1",... ,"elapsedTime":29176,"cpuTime":7687,"cpuPercent":26.346997532218264,"peakMemoryUsage":186314752,"lineCount":2439,"warningCount":27,"errorCount":0,"remoteEngineName":"","remoteEngineJobLogUrl":""}I would like to send an other http request based on the content of the body response :host.com/fmeapiv4/accounts/{runtimeUserID} The runtimeUserID key is a key in the http.body attribute which is a JSON value.I cannot extract some portions of this JSONI have try to get other keygs but it always failed :{http.body}.{runtimeUserID} {http.body.runtimeUserID} {runtimeUserID}and lots of combinations…Is it possible and if so, how to achieve this ?Thank you
I am logging in FME FLOW on our local FME Server (v25.2.1) using my AD Credentials that I manually enter. When I get logged in, I try to open several workbenches that I had previously uploaded and to which I had full access. However, I get a popup message “Unauthorized request by user (myaccountname) due to lack of proper permissions or the object does not exist.”I contacted the local FME administrator who advised that my account had full permissions to the workbenches I was trying to access. He advised I log off and back in several times, the implication that he was reviewing or changing something on his end. And always the same resulting error message.The administrator is adamant that I should be able to access the workbenches, however, I cannot.I had asked that the issue be escalated but the administrator was unsure where to escalate the issue.I am looking for any advice on the issue.Thanks in advance
As I understand things, currently one can only use the Esri enterprise geodatabase formats on a Windows host. When moving to kubernetes it is then needed to use queue control to direct those jobs to Windows VMs, which is not ideal.When can we expect those drivers to also work on Linux? And is the problem on the Esri side or the Safe Software side?
I create a simple FME Flow App - the user enters a word to search content. The FME workspace put the results into a html file under Resources/Data. I want put a link to this html file on the Flow App page to allow the user to click the link and open the html file in the browser to see the content. Can this be done?
Hi Community,I tried to use a DB Connection as Deployment Parameter and set it as Default value in the User Parameters in Workbench as shown in Screenshot below. However when I publish this workspace to Flow the User Parameter with DB Connection is empty and I need to select again the DB Connection manually (2nd Screenshot).Is this an expected behaviour? In my logic the User Parameter should be set automatically (works like this e.g. for Text Deployment Parameters as User Parameter). A workaround I found was to delete the User Parameter before deployment then the Job in Flow uses directly the correct DB Connection.Thanks for your response in advance - BR Kai.

Is there any way to cancel a system restore, it appears to be hung at Unzipping migration package stage for 1.5 hours now. I think the file system/network glitched during the process. There is no cancel in the UI, no jobs running.
Hello!After an update from FME-flow 2024 to 2025 and after the update some roles are not able to open the repositories under workspaces. They get the message ‘Unauthorized request by user <user> due to lack of proper permissions or the object does not exist’. I'm a superuser and able to open the repositories. Is there a new option under User Management I'm not aware of? Or does someone know a solution?
We recently upgraded our FME Flow from version 2019 to FME 2025.2.1. Although we encountered several issues during the upgrade, the system is now running. However, we are facing a new error when executing an existing workbench. The workbench reads data from an Oracle table and generates GML and GeoJSON files. The files are generated successfully, but at the end of the process, the following error appears: 190 2026-1-20 14:33:00 | Router and Unexpected Input Remover (RoutingFactory): No geometry mapping entry found for 'fme_line' in metafile 'E:\Server\fme\metafile\ORACLE_SPATIAL.fmf'. Please visit http://www.safe.com/support Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hi there,Just finished a fresh install of FME Flow 2025.2.1.I was configuring the backups and noticed that the output files were not getting a timestamp.Looking at the httpcallers they both submit using the non-timestamped attribute:If Append Date is No:If Append Date is yes:What it should be: Thanks,Marc
Hi all,I am struggling to get the following to work. In my IT environment we use APP-v to deploy FME workbench. Now I want to automate the license within the package. So I installed FME workbench but is automatically opens the licensing manager, which is nice but I want to specify the license myself. What file can I make that I can implement in the application so it instantly recognizes its license. I tried the admin guide but did not work. We have floating licenses.So what file can I make to specify the license within the application, so that users don't have to enter it themselves.
When setting up an automation trigger using Amazon SQS I get the above error. Is this something anyone has seen before? It might be our firewall. We do use a proxy server that has had certificate issues before. Sometimes we have to ignore SSL warnings.
I have FME Automations that use the “FME Flow Schedule”. In the “FME Flow Schedule”, I am using the Schedule Type “CRON Expression”. Is there a way to get a report for all the “FME Flow Schedule” from all the FME Automation so that I can know when an FME Automation is scheduled to run?
Is it possible to turn off the “Browse Resources” button or make browse file system larger in FME Flow apps? Here is a screenshot of what i’m referring to.
Currently doing some testing after upgrading FMEFlow to 2025.2.1It appears that the validate button on the JMS trigger now just returns an ‘Invalid Parameter’ message Previously it produced something slightly more descriptive.i.e. Failed to find JMS object / Realm is currently not reachableIs a more detailed message available in a log somewhere, if so where should i look? I have it all set up and working correctly in 2025.2.1, this is just for future reference.
Hello, So I have a platform that utilizes Fire Hose API for their data stream. My stream will have thousands of changes a second. I need to connect to this stream, clean/filter the data, and have the data end up showing on an ArcGIS webmap. What would the path be? I am not exactly sure how I connect the firehose stream to FME (I have flow and form). My thought process is Connect Firehose to FME (not sure how, not HTTPCaller right?) → Create data stream to process data → connect stream to GeoEvent Server → Display on Webmap? Is my thought process accurate? Any help is appreciated!
Hi there,In this article (Configure user attribute mapping with Azure AD SAML Provider – FME Support Center), a group claim can be setup to pass an AD group name which aligns to a role in FME Flow. As a group claim could be based on a search criterion and many AD groups could be returned which is a common method of Enterprise group membership in ArcGIS Enterprise software. I was wondering if this could be used to grant several roles to a user?Looking at controlling access to repositories, who can view workspace and who can run a job, etc via AD group assignment.Thanks
Is there any way possible to send an HTTP Response after receiving a webhook trigger in FME Flow Hosted Automations? I am attempting to set up an automation that runs in response to webhooks coming from Monday.com, however before I can start configuring the actual webhooks, monday.com requires verification that I have control of the endpoint. I need to do this by having the platform send a JSON challenge to the endpoint URL, which must then be responded to with an identical JSON POST body. I believe it must also be returned with a status of 200. Documentation on setting up monday.com webhooks here. I have tried to accomplish this by adding a workspace after the webhook trigger to pull the IP address that the challenge request was sent from from the HTTP headers, and then using an HTTPCaller to send a POST request with the JSON challenge body to that IP address, but this is not working - the request just times out.
I have an FME workbench that performs change detection logic and outputs features using the Automations Writer. This workbench is triggered within an automation, and downstream workbenches receive their input from the Automation Writer output.Most of the time, everything works as expected. However, on rare occasions, the workbench fails with the following error:AUTOMATIONS Writer: FME Flow error: 'Blocking request exceeded 10s' I would appreciate any suggestions or possible workarounds to prevent or handle this issue.@ebygomm @redgeographics @hkingsbury @danilo_fme @runneals
I’ll try to make this really quick. We are trying to automate running several FME Form jobs. Each one will execute in line in the automation. The reason is we want them to stop if even one job fails and to send an email (External Action in FME Flow Automations). Being new I’m having issues trying to get the Email to work. I’ve tried various things with no luck. Is there anyone out there with experience on setting this up through Office365? I just want to know if I post this image of the settings if you might be able to tell me which are the most important to focus on. Also, any other pitfalls, internal flow steps, or even external steps I need to be taking. FYI: I’ve cleared out some of the settings in the attached image.Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge!!!
Hello all,I have a MapInfo table on a file server, that gets edited by users and I need to make sure it is packed each night.Is there a way that FME Server (FME Flow) can perform a pack on a MapInfo table in place?
Hi, What is the best way to manage the schema drifting issue? Context: Currently the user uploads an Excel File through Workspace apps, and the file contains multiple attributes where the attribute names can change anytime. ID can be reported as Id, Identifier, id, ID. What is the best way to map and standardize these attributes ?
Good afternoon fellow FME enthousiasts,I'm struggling with the following. I'm trying to set up the System Email settings on our FME Flow to allow users to request a password reset. It all seems pretty straightforward but can't get it to work. Maybe i'm missing something though (it is friday afternoon after all). I've set it up as follows: But when i validate it I get the error:“Due to a configuration change made by your administrator or because you moved to a new location you must use multi factor authentication to access…...” Emails through emailers in workspaces ran on flow work like a charm, but this one keeps evading me. Any help would be appreciated.
