FME Server Manager Fails to load correctly (2019.2.3.2)

Hello,I have recently installed FME Server 2019.2.3.2 (32 Bit) and have been using it without any issues up until this point. I modified a config property in the 'fmeServerConfig.txt' file and even since then, the manager doesn't want to load correctly. After that, I restored the config back to what I had it at before (when it was working) and restarted the FME Server Services, the machine, etc. Has anyone else ran into this issue before? Have added some screenshots below: Thank you

How to pass parameters to a chain of workspaces in automation?

Assume I have an automation that starts with a directory watch to capture an updated zip file in a folder. The zip file name is passed as a parameter (File Path) to the 1st workspace. This workspace is followed by a second workspace, which needs to use the same zip file as a parameter. I can not figure out an easy way to feed the File Path (zip file path) to the second workspace as a parameter, other than writing it to a text file and let the 2nd workspace to read from the file. Any advice to make this easier and streamline? The FME server is 2020.1.3.

Error: The log file for job ID "6" does not exist

I installed fme server "FME Server 2020.2.2 Build 20817 - win64" on a new machine, and then restored from backup "FME Server 2020.2 Build 20787 - win64". The restore appeared to go successfully however all jobs fail with a message like "Error: The log file for job ID "6" does not exist". I suspect there's a path somewhere that needs to be updated. How do I locate where it might be configured?http://SERVER:8080/fmeserver/#/systemevents/history?page=1 shows over 250 events so it's not that logs can't be written at all. I found a thread mentioning this message at https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hL2RSAU/fme-server-2019-error-the-log-file-for-job-id-2613-does-not-exist and the cure there was to run System Cleanup tasks. I have 14 tasks listed on that page and all are enabled. I don't see a mechanism to trigger them to run though.

Is there any Pushbullet alternative option that can be used for iPhone?

Hi everyone, I have tried to set up push notifications to our phones and Pushbullet has done an amazing job for Android devices, easy to set up, and more importantly, it's FREE. For anyone who is interested, I've used this transformer from FME hub https://hub.safe.com/publishers/jrn/transformers/pushbullet. However, Pushbullet doesn't support iOs devices while all of our work phones are iPhones so now I am looking for an alternative option for Pushbullet that can be used for iPhone. Would be much appreciated if you could recommend any other alternative open-source option. Many thanks!

FMEservreJobSubmitter connection

Hi, In a workspace I used a few FMEServerJobSubmitters. It worked fine for a few days but suddenly the error message “credentials for user are invalid”.I can still login to the FME server with the same credentials as the workspace works with. How is it possible that these credentials are not held? Greetings

Coordinate Systems Gallery - absent?

So I have a Coordinate System Name Parameter and in Workbench I get this nice gallery to help me pick and choose. There are several columns of data to use for searching or sorting...very nice indeed.However now if I publish my workspace to FME Server, we get this:At this point the user would need to know what they're looking for, but without the metadata shown in the Gallery, you don't know exactly what you're picking especially if the end user is not a coordinate system expert (myself included!). For example I'd like to search for a UTM in meters, something in central US, etc. to ensure that any Lat/Lon coordinates are converted to something that makes sense for the picked area on a map.Any thoughts? Should this be a wishlist idea? Thanks.

Setup of streaming workspaces ?

Hi list.We're trying out the streaming capabilities of workspaces in FME Server (2020.2).When you upload a workspace, you can check streaming, and under its settings, you need to set one reader and one writer as streaming input and output resp. Both are mandatory, you can't upload if any of them isn't set.I did that with a workspace, using an ACAD input and a JSON output.However, when we ran the workspace, it erred because it couldn't create the (testing) JSON output file. Yes, the same transformer that ought to stream its output. Only when I disabled the writer (and re-uploaded), I could run the workspace.We're using the post /transformations/transactdata/< repository >/< workspace > REST API endpoint, as the workspace has 3 parameters other than the streamed input.The API documentation for this endpoint does state, that it streams a fixed JSON output (Response Class), and so it's logical, that it doesn't allow other streaming outputs.What g

Is it possible to publish a workspace to FME Server from the command line?

Hi folks, I'm building a set of workspaces that are combining into a larger whole and will be running on FME Server. Given it's a number of different workspaces, I'd like to be able to publish to the Server from the command line - partly because I'm lazy, but mostly because I'd like to avoid getting versions out of sync between my local repository and what's on the Server. It appears (based on text output) that the publishing process from FME Workbench uses a process behind the scenes, but I can't find any documentation about how to publish from the command line. Is this possible? If so, is there any documentation or can someone provide the appropriate command line magic to make this happen? I know this could be accomplished with the API, as well, but I'm attempting to avoid writing anything new if I don't need to. Any help much appreciated, and thanks in advance! Pat

Hi all, I need to be able to automate a changing url so it can be automatically called and downloaded.

I am wanting to automate PDF's to be downloaded on a weekly or fortnightly basis. The url changes slightly each week/fortnight: 'https://www.admiralty.co.uk/WeeklyNMs/Year%20-%202021/05wknm21_week05_2021.pdf " for example the '05wknm21_week05_2021' would change to '06wknm21_week06_2021' and so on. There is usually only 1 or 2 numbers in the urls that will change each week going up by a factor of 1. Is there a way I can automate these changes? Note I had a different example here but that link had a redirect URL which solved the problem for that particular URL but unfortunately it was not the same for the link above. Thanks in advance for any help.

Attempting Automating Live Data into Map Service in ArcGIS Enterprise via FME

Hi all, Hope you are well. I have recently created a FME workbench which gathers all the information and updates every 15 minutes via FME Server. This then writes directly to a PostGres Database. I have got this part working and have successfully published the data to ArcGIS enterprise. The issue I am facing is how does ArcGIS enterprise update the data every 15 minutes when the Postgres database gets updated without me having to publish it manually every time? Is there a possibility for FME to do this? The output currently is in a map service.

FME Server Python interpreter changes after changing FME workspace python interpreter

At this moment we have a working arcgis pro python environment working on FME Server (2020.2) and Desktop on a Virtual Machine. We've setup the python interpreter using the command prompt lines specified at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Using-Python-with-FME_Server.htm and set the PYTHONHOME variable with he custom python environement. However, when using FME desktop on the VM and changing the python interpreter to a different python environment (mainly for testing), the FME server also seems to change its custom python interpreter to the one used within the desktop application. When researching the information on python interpreters ( https://community.safe.com/s/article/choosing-a-different-python-interpreter-installati ), for FME Desktop there is the the following note: "NOTE: This option controls FME as a whole, and not just the current workspace. Therefore, all FME processes will use this alternative version of Python, until you reve

HIDE_EXTERNAL_CONTENT in Kubernetes not working

I am attempting to hide external user content in FME server (FME Server 2020.0.2.1, Build 20238 - linux-x64) deployed to Openshift using the safe provided helm charts and docker images (With some minor modifications). I have updated the docker images to apply the same change as described in the linked article by updating the relevent confd template.

UDP message received on FME Cloud is nonsense

I have set up a sensor to send UDP messages to FME Cloud via a GSM modem and it works great as a trigger, but the message that arrives is nonsense. I believe everything is sent as bytes through the serial port so I have no idea whether its possible to format it before sending or the problem is how FME Cloud is receiving the data.

Why does the FME Server 2020 Proxy setting not work persistently?

The default and non-overwritable company proxy setting on our FME server machines has not been working consistently against external data services in our 2019.2.1 FME server. I was glad it started to work consistently 4 weeks ago with our FME server 2020.1.3 upgrade in which we explicitly set the Proxy to a proxy IP address/Port inside the FME server. However, it stopped working since a week ago. The FME server error message shows the server is using the default company proxy setting again. Should the FME server proxy setting overwrite the server machine's proxy setting?

Connection File syntax to SDE Geodatabase in FME Server

I have a Desktop Workbench 2019, it works perfect when ran from the desktop. However, FME Server 2019 fails to write to the SDE Geodatabase. In the FeatureWriter transformer, for the Connection File, I have the following syntax which works fine on Desktop: \\\\SERVER\\fmeservershare\\resources\\data\\Configuration\\SDE_Connection.sde Maybe the syntax to read it from FME server should be something like this??$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\Configuration\\SDE_Connection.sde I published the workbench to FME Server with the Connection file as: $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\Configuration\\SDE_Connection.sde but when I run it on FME Server, it doesn't write anything and no errors are giving in the log. It stops in line 107 and just hangs there. Is my Connection File syntax wrong? 107 Transactions are being used by the Geodatabase Writer Thank you.

Create excel drop-down lists with FME
