FME Flow

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.....

Hi! I would like to ensure that no scheduled task could be triggered between 5:00 and 5:30 AM because its the maintenance time of some other servers that interfer with the tasks. I use to set schedule time manually outside of this range but sometimes, for obscur reason, tasks are delayed and put in queued and are triggered during this period and cannot complete successfully. Is it possible to define an exception time range where no task can be triggered at all? Thank you

I have a job that processes a lot of data (sqlite file +/- 50MB) and during the execution the job get automatically relaunched. The first job finishes without failure after the relaunch.When I execute the same process with a smaller dataset this doesn't happen. It is as if that the recovery call to the rest api doesn't know that the job is still running

I am trying to set up an FME Server Automation, which runs a model every first day of the month. I bump into 2 issues: 1) To set up the schedule trigger, i can not choose "every first day of the month". Apperently the monthly option only lets you choose a montly run from the day it is today (in this case every first monday of the month). How to go about? 2) I want to let the input parameters change for each monthly run. In this case the model does a calculation from a start date until an end date, and the start date needs to be the first day of the previous month and the end date the first day of the month it runs. How can I make these input parameters a variable? All suggestions welcome!

I have a Transform master workspace. Depending on the input this workbench can start three different types of other workspaces. The Transform master is called using an API, that should be notified when the transformation is complete. But my problem is that I want the master script to not wait for the job submitter to complete so that it does not block one of our engines. Is there a way to send back the job ID of the job submitter to the API instead of the master job ID? Or any similar solution to this problem? Thanks, Samuel

I created some shared file resource folders by editing the fmeServerConfig.txt file. Then after I removed the new shared source codes and restarted the server, the folder still displays under the web interface. How do I delete those unused folders? Thank you.

Background maps has stopped working - this link: https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/orto_foraar_wmts_DAF?service=WMTS&request=GetCapabilities&token=dcfd5bb56caa13f5f4fcef0b65c45f8eworks in other applications (QGIS 3.16) and used to work flawlessly in FME.

I want to build a workbench (for publishing to a FME Server) that converts any DWF file to a DXF file of the same name. I started by use the Generate Workspace Dialog and ticked Dynamic Schema. However, the name of the output DXF is hardcoded. I would like the name of the output DXF to be the same as the name of the input DWF (with DXF extension). How do I make this work?
