FME Flow

Hi,I'm encountering an annoying issue where the DateTime picker stops working in the FME Server Web UI after the initial run of a workspace. It works the first time for any workspace, but when trying to run the same workspace again, the date time picker will not work in the UI and the date fields will be empty.Any date entered manually gets converted to the text "invalid date" in the subsequent request.The following errors appear in the console:Running FME Server 2022.1.2 Build 22627 - win64. Clearing the browser cache allows a single run of the workspace again before the issue reoccurs. Is this happening for anyone else?

At the moment we are dealing with not enough licenses, part of the problem is naturally to buy new licenses, however sometimes users have their FME workbench session open for a long time, while they are not doing anything at all in the FME workbench. So I think it would partly solve the problem of not enough licenses, if inactive FMe desktop workbenches are closed down after a certain duration. Is something like that possible to configure for the users of FME desktop. It would be nice, if the changes made are saved automatically and no changes made are lost.

At our organization, we don't have enough licenses at the moment. Naturally, part of the solution is to buy new licenses, however it would also be nice to implement something that certain users get priority in getting a FME desktop license over other users. I was looking at the following link https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm. I see it's possible to reserve for certain groups, however instead of reserving, I would like to do priotising. Is it possible to configure something like that.  

Dear all, I hope the community is fine 🙂 I am using FME Server to run a workspace that has 2 optionals user parameters published. After launching the workspace, everything is ok.Next time I go to run the workspace, the optional parameter is set with the previous value.    The user can click on the "reset" button to clear by himself, but I would like to know if there is a way to automatically clear these optional parameter values in FME Server? Kind regards, Aymeric

Hi all, Can this be done with published parameters and/or Python scripting in Server Apps? So, I would like to have two fields that are dependent. First field would be choice only and second field would be filtered based on the first field. Second field is multichoice. Only the values from the second field would be calculated for output. Example of a table with two columnsAnimal, SpecsCat, BlackCat, Halloween queenDog, BrownDog, Mr. WednesdayDog, LoyalGiraffe, SmallGiraffe, Excellent listenerSo, the first field would list all the animals and once the animal chosen, then the second field would list specifics for that animal only and then the user can choose from those for the output.Thanks in advance

I have a Server App with that converts coordinates in a Excel spreadsheet. I followed the Article:HTML Page with Link to Download Excel File - FME Server App (safe.com)And it works really well with small files but falls over with a 404 error with large spreadsheets. The workbench works fine on desktop, within Server & as an App without the webhook.Would anyone have any suggestions about what the issue maybe?

I wonder if I setup azure ad authentication service on my FME Cloud instance, would I be able to read and write drirectly from a azure fileshare? sourceFile //xxx.file.core.windows.net/yyy/source.extdestinationFile //xxx.file.core.windows.net/yyy/destination.ext Is this a common thing?  

Hi all, We are planning our 2022 Server upgrade and it is the first time I have have done it with a parallel machine where we want to retain the original same server CNAME. We are also using IIS as our webserver with a URL rewrite. The machine is only internally available and is hosted in Azure. Our current proposed steps are to: 1. Install existing certificate on new Azure server2. Install FME Server3. Test basic server installation using localhost on the server itself4. Configure FME Server for IIS via URL rewrite based on CNAME5. Test ALL workspaces - access FME Server application via client with modified lmhosts6. DNS switch - turn off old server, turn on new server The new machine will be placed in the same Azure subnet so all existing firewall rules and whitelisting with apply to the new machine. Does anyone forsee any issuses with this approach? 

Has anyone had to switch existing notifications/publications in FME Server from IMAP which is easily configured in the web UI to MAPI? Is there a way without having to roll your own using custom code? I don't see any such options in FME 2020, nor in 2022 that I'm currently spinning up. I'm being told I need to make that switch! Lucky me 😫 

When creating a connect to AD, what is the synchronnization period?

Our fme cloud export has been going wrong for about 2 months.Every other week we import gml-files into a Postgress database. The export from our Postgress database gives errors in a small part (16 of 235) of our export files in the formats csv and shape.Only the BGT_WGL_*.shp/shx/prj/dbf and BGT_WGL_*.csv files fail. The fme scripts have not been changed in recent years.When we run the fme script locally (fme2019) on a PC the export of these files gives no errors.Has anything changed in the "FME cloud" environment lately? In some of the transformers? Last Friday (sept 16) we did a reboot of the FME-cloud environment but this did not help. Attached are some examples of a shape and csv file which look like an error file in html format.Also, we can't find any log files in the cloud of the fme creation process of the shape and csv files.These log files (which we do have locally) can help us on our way so

Has anyone tried do configure a FlexLM manager on a Kubernetes environment? Can someone inform me whether it is possible or not? If yes, what should I should watch out for?

Hey everyone, fairly new to FME here. I was wanting to see if there was a way to mass pull down all published layers from AGOL online into a workspace. I am wanting to automate our AGOL backups, but since we have over a hundred published layers, I was wanting to see if there was a far more efficient way of doing so than individually adding over a hundred readers.

Dear FMEers, We are proceeding to upgrade to 2022.1 FME Server and would like to take advantage ofthe Azure Marketplace install option. Our cloud provider noticed that domain joining is not supported in the current Marketplace install. There are some workarounds available but this negates some of the benefit of using Marketplace. Has anyone used this configuration and what is their experience? We need to decide early next week whether to go down this route or whether to go for a tried and test traditional deployment on an Azure VM. At the moment we have a single stack and should stay this way for the next year. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated. Annette

Hello, I'm trying to implement a a html report when user runs my workspace app. When the workspace goes to failure I'd like that the server returns the log file straight to the user.

Hello,I have a (static) file in the FME Server resources folder and I would like to have a copy of this file to the output of my workspace. I tried AttributeFileReader with AttributeFileWriter. This gives a file in my output with the correct name, but it's unreadable. I also tried a FeatureWriter with File Copy but I can't get it to work.Any ideas? 

I am getting error while starting the services on local machine where I install the FME Server 

I've been digging into issues with an Engine running on a separate host in a distributed setup. Service looks to be running but is no longer chatting with Core and is not longer showing up under Engines in the web UI. After ruling out some of the obvious causes on this troubleshooting page. I've started logging running processes and ports being used on that Host to understand at what point the service goes silent or inactive. That's when I noticed what seems like large number of TCP connections FMEProcessMonitorEngines uses with multiple ports open. The

hey guys, I'm installing FME Desktop 2022 on a linux operating system (ubuntu 20.04), but it does not install the sdk! any directions on how to install the sdk on that system? i can't find any sufficient documentation about it

Hi, There is a workspace scheduled to run every hour on FME Server 2020 that is successfull all the time except some failures times to times. When it fails. the error is with the ArcGIS Online feature writer. From the logs, FME Server is then loading the Python 2.7 version of the writer instead of the Python 3.7 version like the other times. Here a success log:Here a failed log: The task fails with Python 2.7 simply because strings are not encoded in utf-8 so thats very annoying. The question is why FME Server sometimes switch to Python 2.7 instead of Python 3.7 when loading the ArcGIS Online Feature writer. How can I prevent that? Thanks

What would cause an FME Server job to successfully complete with no errors, but not create the expected output? In this workbench I have specified to write a file GDB to a zipped folder, which works as expected when running from Desktop. The log file from FME Server shows that 500k features were written as expected, but the file is not present in the output folder. I'm running this with the Job Submitter Service. I originally thought it was a permissions issue, but that does not seem to be the case since I didn't receive an error.

https://community.safe.com/s/article/FME-Server-Stored-Cross-Site-Scripting-XSS-Vulnerabilities In this latest advisory it's mentioned that there are two specific XSS issues, and two different CVE assignments. That's all well and good, even if there is a ton of lacking pertinent information.  The problem I'm having is that this CVE (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-38339) was assigned to this specific advisory but there's zero mention of it. Does anyone know specifically why 2022-38339 was assigned?
