FME Flow

Not sure if it is possible but feel I can't be the only person with this question. I have a standard FME Pro install with 8 worker license. Is it possible to reserve a couple of licenses so they will always be available for certain workflows that run as a cron jobs? I basically don't want my cron tasks getting held up because other users run processes that occupy all 8 workers.

When I receive emailed server error notifications they are formatted like Job 334: http://SERVERNAME:443/fmeserver/#/job/334/summary rather than the proper SSL and fully qualified configuration. Once I change the URL to Job 334: http://SERVERNAME.FQDN.com:443/fmeserver/#/job/334/summary it resolves properly and I can access the log. My question is, where do I change this setting permanently? All of the URL's in System configuration are set correctly. Is it a configuration file setting? If so, can someone point me to the correct file to modify?

We are migrating from FME Desktop 2014 (32-bit) and FME Server 2015 (32-bit) to FME 2020. We have our old sworldswaf.dll and sworldswaf.fmf files for Smallworld 4.3 and know we should simply copy those files into FME 2020 directories as in our FME 2014/2015. Now the question is whether we should stick to FME 32-bit or we can go and install FME 64-bit (or FME Destkop 32-bit and Server 64-bit with 64-bit engines) and keep using our old GE Smallworld files without problems. I read the documentation here but want to make sure we can't install 64-bit version of FME Server.

Hey, We have an external application at https://service.externalapp.co.nz/map/appname This app, using the fmedatastreaming service calls a workbench on our FME Server at https://fme.externalapp.co.nz/fmedatastreaming/repo/workbench.fmw I'm wondering whether FME Server can capture the request URL of our external application and pass that through to the workbench. I've had a look at the FME_SERVER_REQUEST_HEADERS, FME_SERVER_REQUEST_PARAMETERS and FME_SERVER_REQUEST_URI parameters and none of them include it. Any one have any ideas?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to receive the itinerary from a private website to my fme workbench. As you can see in the image below, the user enter the the starting and ending point. After, they click the ASPVHN button, which start the workflow of my fme workbench which display data. We are currently able to push the data to the website. But, i'm not able to retreive the coordinate from custom itinerary. The GEOJSON link that I'm using is also below. From what I was able to read, I need to make a webhook. Anybody can point me in the right direction? Thank you.

If I run a workspace manually the FME Server starts logging - but the logs are not available when the jobb is completed: Jobs ==> completed ==> choose one "Error: The log file for job ID "..." does not exist" Any help appreciated. Thanks

So I have built a basic server app that allows users to log in and run a workspace. Using the 'Require Authentication' option in the app. Created a user account and user is able to execute process. But I'm having trouble capturing the user name as part of the routine to write to a history table. In my Desktop workbench, I'm using a Published Parameter defaulting to: $(FME_SECURITY_USER) In the Server workspace, I'm not showing that particular parameter so that it can't be changed to something else. When I run it myself while logged in as 'admin', that's what gets logged. But when I have user "johnsmith" running it as, it logs NULL. Am I missing something else? Also is there any way to leverage AD Authentication if you don't want to set up a bunch of users and require them to log in to run the app? Thanks.

Hey everyone, new to FME. Not a professional in GIS, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on terminology. I'm using this guide and I've followed the instructions, as well as downloaded the provided workbench file, but for some reason, I can't get my .LAS/.LAZ files to convert properly. Using the first method from the guide yields the weird image above. Does anyone know what's wrong? I've tried this with a few files and it doesn't seem that my files are the issue. I've uploaded the project file to this post.

Hi, We have recently enabled MFA on all our Portal for ArcGIS users. When we add a user for reading from Portal for ArcGIS now it fails with a "FMEException: 928201" error. Not sure if this is related to the MFA, but that is the only recent change. We are running FME Cloud if that has something to say. BR Amalie

Hi. I have to load a lot of FGDB in another one. The file geodatabsae have the same schema. Can you help me Thank.

We have 2 fme servers - licenses are set to not expire. What can I do to get production back up and running?

Hi, No feature readers work when published to FME Server: Geopackage, FGDB, AGOL, SQLite, etc. I have tried them all but nothing seems to work. I have also tested this error with very simple connections involving zero spatial or attribute queries to eliminate any sort of other variables. I consistently get an error like this regardless of feature reader type: FeatureReader (QueryFactory): The clause 'IGNORE_NULLS <Unused>' within 'FACTORY_DEF {*} QueryFactory FACTORY_NAME I'm running server version 2020.1.0.1 on Win64 and have attempted publishing with 6 different desktop versions just to see if it was a desktop to server compatibility issue (but that did not fix the problem). Any ideas on what might be happening? Upgrading server is a possibility, but not anything I can do in the next 2-3 months. Thanks

Hello, I´m trying to run a workspace in FME Server...it works fine locally but in FME Server shows this error (see image attached). I have verified the FeatureReader Parameters and seems all is good....could you help me with this, please?

Hi list. I'm attempting to run our FME server under a domain account, but can't seem to get it right. I've read the admin guide and done the following provided full file access to C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer and C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server (using default folders in installation) to the domain account. Stopped the three services (appserver, core, engines), but left database service running. Changed logon on the three stopped services. Deleted the log files from C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\logs\\engine\\current Restarted the three services. But now the web interface fails, saying it cannot access Core services. I'm sure that I need to do something more, but I'm at a loss about what it is. I've re-read the admin guide, but cannot find anything amiss. Please help. Cheers

In the last FME World Fair (I know, I'm late) there is this great presentation about pushing FME Server to the limit. I strongly suggest you watch it if you like pushing things to the limit : https://www.safe.com/presentations/zipsters-magic-show-pushing-fme-limits/ I understand that we can have 250 engines per core, so on a machine with 4 cores it makes a total of 1000 engines. At the end of the show @donatsafe​ challenge @lauraatsafe​ and @grantarnold​ to have 10 000 engines on a machine for next year World Fair. What I don't understand is the big deal about that challenge... Why don't they use a 128 cores machine available on AWS ? That way, they could get 32 000 engines (250 engines * 128 cores) and complete more than three times Don's challenge! In my opinion, the biggest challenge here is to pay the machine! Maybe there is something I didn't understand in the presentation though. Please clarify that for me! Thanks !

I am wondering if anybody has an idea of using ArcGIS server locator service in FME for geocoding. Your direction would be appreciated.

I know how to do it with a workspace and HTTPCaller and with the Rest API but I would like to know if it is possible directly through the external action : "Make an HTTP request" and if so how. Thanks!

My customer wants to use the IAM Role when authenticating in an Automation action, writing to an S3 bucket. When building the automation, it is required to specify a AWS Access Key ID and a AWS Secret Access Key. I found some input on IAM Roles for a S3Connector in Workbench, but not on the FME Server external action. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi all! I have created a FME Workflow in Desktop which connects and runs fine. I then published the workflow to Server and immediately ran the workflow again for it to work fine...for a short while. After some time, the workflow begins to fail with a '401 - Not Authenticated' error. If I go into Web Connections on FME Server and 'Authorise' the Web Connection, I can enter my Sharepoint username and password before approving the permissions. The next screen then appears totally blank. Behind the scenes, Sharepoint is returning the following error; 'the endpoint only accepts POST requests. Received a GET request.”' I've read and followed this article but to no avail; 'Sharepointonline connector - configuration for FME Server 2019.0 (safe.com)'. Any assistance would be warmly welcomed before I pull my remaining hair out! Thanks, Sean

We have FME server 2020 Deployed, and has been running fine until today. It seems all jobs are now placed into the "Queue" and stay there......i can click on the queued jobs, and "resubmit" them and they execute. Licensing still ahs many months left, and engines are available. I will be thankful for any help.

Hi team, I have published a workbench to FME Server 2020. I am trying to configure automations to be triggered if the process fails. I want to leverage the parameters of the process ( email, data source etc..) and have FME server send me an email with the parameters entered by the user. Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone! Here's a part of the log that I'm trying to decode. How to check what exactly is f_71 (PythonFactory)? How to link this to some specific Transformer or part of the FME process? Second question is, why there is no information about peak process memory usage on the FME Server? Locally I can see this value populated in the logfile, while on the FME Server it's always 0kB.

Hello everyone! I'm trying to connect in my Resources folder to google drive folder. in my localhost server, it worked great. but now I'm trying to do it in our sever at work, but it is not working. This is the work's screenshot: and this is my localhost: does someone have an idea? Thanks!

We are using FME desktop 2020 and server 2020. We have a fme server job submitter transformer that creates child jobs to perform a data load. Each of these creates a warning in the system messages "Job 3117686 specifies a priority, but job priority is no longer supported. Use job queue priority instead. Please see: http://fme.ly/KB72058" Looking in the transformer the job priority still exists (although we use job queue specification) and i cannot remove this value. I noticed that at some stage it had been set to 75 but I cannot remove it, only set it to 100. Is this sufficient?

FME server job for 23M records fails on one environment, but succeeds on another. Comparison of initial memory resources shows that the starting point for both jobs is the same: However, a comparison of memory fragmentation in those environments shows some differences as follow: Is it possible that memory fragmentation causes that on one FME Server Engine job succeeded, but on the other failed?
