FME Flow

Is FME Server affected by the recent vulnerability discovered in Spring Core? https://www.contrastsecurity.com/security-influencers/new-spring4shell-vulnerability-confirmed-what-it-is-and-how-to-be-prepared

Hi, Our FME Server infrastructure is deployed in AWS on Docker, Core is running on dedicated EC2 with docker and engines are running on docker + EC2 which starts as users start the job. I have a user who has a workflow that uses python script. We followed the documentation and asked the user to upload the module to Resource>Engine>Plugins>Python FOlder. After uploading the module user is still facing the error. I am suspecting this is related to the path where the module is and where the script is looking for the module. Most likely, I am not the first one to encounter this but I could not find any documentation or community post with examples that can help us solve this situation. Any pointers? Thank you in advance. -Naman.    

In my automation I want to include the server name in my success / fail emails. That way from the email you can determine if the emails is coming from the dev / test / production server. Can not find the server name as one of the keys available.

Hi All,Running an automation to pull data from an external SFTP site to be post processed with multiple other workspaces.I've set the time per my server at 4:15 am (and tried 4:30am, now trying 5am), have checked my server, it is set to EST (UTC - 4 since we are in DST now). Schedule trigger states that it uses the local time on the FME server). Looking at the SFTP thin client website, the data says that it was uploaded at 4am today. When looking at the same SFTP site via WinSCP, it says that it was uploaded at 12am today.My automation appears to be working as it should by processing all of the data. However, it is consistently having the previous week's data (it is only uploaded to the SFTP site once a week and I process only once a week). What time should I really be using for getting this data? When I trigger the automation after 8am EST it picks up the currently shown data (although it is dropping it on the server with the 12am timestamp). I w

@stewartatsafe​  , you mentioned the modification of templates in :https://community.safe.com/s/article/Deployment-options-for-FME-Server-in-the-CloudI could not find any example (or even better step by step tutorial) to adapt the Azure distributed deployment template to be "ESRI server compatible". The engine instances should have the ESRI libraries included if I understood well. Do you have any kind of resource or advice in this regard? Thanks in advance!Antoine.

Hello, I encountered an issue using FileDeleter as it fails to delete the files. I have some scripts deployed on FME Server that download some xls files daily, perform some reports and next day, new files are downloaded,and the old ones must be moved to an archive and delete the target file or folder. I get the next error when the transformer FileDeleter is trying to dedlete the files from previous day in order to download new ones. This error is not present in a Windows env (now I am trying to replicate that FME Server installation along with it's scripts on unix env...maybe this can be an issue?) Error: " 2022-3-29 13:58:28 | File Copy Writer: Error attempting to move from '/opt/fmeserver/resources/data/Reports/temp/route_gps_pos_arc_20220329.xlsx' to '/route_gps_pos_arc_20220329.xlsx'.

Suppose I have two workspaces A, and B that run sequentially in a scheduled job. I want to start B if A actually runs through and writes something to the writer. If nothing writes in A, I don't want B to start at all. I could think of a few ways to do it, but all require writing intermediate status data to an external file or database. Should there be a simpler way to do this in the FME server automation (I am at 2021.1.2)? Is it possible to do this in the startup python script - if a condition is not met, terminate the workspace?

I have a URL being sent through emailer and everything seems to be working fine until the email comes in. The URL is there except its missing a few characters. Any Ideas why?

Hi, We are implementing FME Server, we have set up server core components on one machine using docker-compose and engines on different machines using docker. All these are done on Linux, the host is a Linux machine and all component is running on Linux containers. I do have a few users who have jobs that have a dependency on arcpy. I came across this article ArcPy on FME server (safe.com). This is more about windows, is there any way to support arcPy with FME on Linux environment?  Thanks,Naman 

I would like to automate the following processes by a batch job or equivalent. Please advise if you have any idea. Here are the steps what I am working now. Firstly, load the CityGML to a FME workbranch by the "Reader".Secondly, select fme_basename and fme_feature_type in the "Reader" setting.Thirdly, I will select excel file in the writer and link up the "Reader" and "Writer".Finally, go to "Run" > "Run Entire Workspa

We have a use case where we need to implement a webhook using FME. This will be called by a partner application.This webhook has a predefined URI (in partner application side) like:https://fmeserver/repo/worskapce1.fmw?attr=?attr2=?Names of parameters cannot be changed and partner application is not willing to update the webhook to pass security token in the header. We are planning to do security by only whitelisting the ip addresses of the partner application. In this case, how we do call the FME workspace? Everytime I try to call my workspace, it returns an following error"401-Unauthorized. The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the Target resource" Is there no way to call FME workspaces without passing tokens in the

Hi, I have a workspace that runs successfully on desktop, but fails on FME Server. I want to annotate/highlight validation errors in DWG files. So I created a second workspace, that's being triggered by a WorkspaceRunner/FMEServerJobSubmitter, to write these annotations using the correct original DWG as a template. To collect this output in the output of the master workspace and make it available in the download service, I was thinking of using a File Copy Writer. This writer can then be included in the download service when publishing. As said this works perfectly on desktop. But when running on FME Server, I get the "File Copy Writer: Feature contains an invalid source dataset" error.Though this file is definitely created on FME Server:

Hi,FME's background maps are not showing up when I'm on my company's VPN.I've tested a few ones (STATMEN, ESRI, MaoBox). They all work fine without VPN, but they don't (or sometimes they will for a very short period of time) when I'm connected with VPN. The fun part : I've tested the same maps with QGIS and ArcGIS Pro and they work flawlessly. Anybody ever face that problem ? Thanks Phil

ArcGIS Pro requires an email to license the software for the service account. Once the service account was changed to the UPN format, the FME Web Interface recevied a login failure when logging in using the service account. We have an open case with ESRI, but want to know what other companies did since the account has to be a service account to be used with FME Server and must be used to install and license ArcGIS Pro.

In the documentation, i can only get something like :{"balance":0.0,"available_credit":243.67,"estimated_costs":8.99}Is there a way to get as much details as on the dashboard page through the API? If not is there a way to generate a token to call directly the billing dashboard page?

The FME Server license doesn't recognize the current machine because it is limited to one or more specific machines.Use FME Sever on a machine for which it is licensed. Kindly assist us same.

Hi all. Is there a way to prevent a scheduled job from being launched, if it's already present as a queued job ? If there is a bulk of jobs that need to be processed first, it clogs up the system. Lower prioritized jobs will be bulked together, and you can end up having a handful of identical jobs waiting to be processed, one after the other. This is a waste of resources. It would be nice, if subsequent job launches could be cancelled in advance, if the very same job with the very same parameters (none in this case) is present as an already queued job (or running). Cheers.

Hello,  I'm using FME Server 2019.2.3, and have written a Server app, which runs a data download workspace. How can I get an email sent to the user with a link to download the output? Currently I have an automation which is a triggered by posting to a topic, and sends an email, but am stuck on how pass a parameter from the job with the user's email address to the automation? Thanks,  Owen

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.....
