Hello,  Our current database is running on Oracle 11, and we are planning to migrate it to Oracle 19c towards the end of the year. We use the database in daily FME workflows (mainly in queries). We are wondering whether the migration will have an impact on our FME scripts. Are there risks that we should be aware of for the current used FME scripts?  Thank you Ella 

hello,I remember that it is possible to start the automation when new source files are coming in a folder from file system, or by email, but this time I'll need to run the script just after the input file is modified.Example:I have an xls file with locations. When I add new lines with coordinates and save the file, the script will automatically transform the data based on new data coming from this xls file. Any ideas will be much appreciated. Cheers,nicu

I have an FME Server workspace with a number of published parameters and one private one, which is a choice parameter with 4 options. I would like publish this as an FME Server App that users will access by scanning a QR code with their phone. The published parameters are no problem, but the private one can't be set anywhere on FME Server. I haven't been able to find out how to do it through the Rest API (and even if that were possible I'd rather not code my own webpage for it). What options do I have other than creating 4 different versions of my workspace and publish each one as a separate Server App?

I have FME desktop 2020.1 installed - when I generate dgn file everything looks ok, however when I publish it on cloud accents and diacritics go crazy.My local machine runs on win-1250. FME Cloud / Server run utf-8, is there a way to make this not mess up my texts? I have tried AttributeEncoder with no success.

Hi,I have a script that does an area calculation using arcpy, the two calculated areas are output in the log, I need each one of them to be output as an attribute, how to do this? I'm new to python at FME.  log: The output, it doesn't help me at all.  Thank you for your help  

When attempting to restore FME Server from a downloaded fsconfig file, with or without "Overwrite Existing Items" selected, the restore fails with no message. When doing the restore with the backup data stored in a resource location, the restore is successful. However, this isn't an option as we are doing the backup/restore process to upgrade FME Server in place, and the uninstall process could possibly delete the backup file. Is there anything we could be doing wrong?

Hey community!I need some coach, anytime I run any script, FME ask me what is the input file.Can I remove this option? (Attached image).Tnkx a lot to everybody!

Looking for more information on FME Server 2018 and Fault Tolerance.

I would like to start using python with FME. I have some scripts that I need to run several times, passing parameters, could someone show me examples and how to pass parameters in attributes in FME? thanks

I am using FME Server 2020. Need to create a webhook but along with that need to set expiry time for the job. Is it possible ?

Like the title says I want to take the csv file and store it in one of my resource folders but nothing ever gets written because the CSV contents show up as the body not the attachment.

Hi list.We have a job on an FME server job, that reads from a ZIP file. It's initiated by an outside broker, and the broker continues to perform other tasks after the FME server job has finished.We've encountered an error, where the broker tries to delete the input ZIP file 12 seconds after the FME server job ends successfully. The error message says something about other processes using the file.It doesn't happen consistently, but happens fairly often, so is there a problem with releasing file handles from ended FME server jobs ?Cheers.

Continuing work described in this previous thread, I would like to figure out how to make asynchronous calls to FME Server and poll the job until it's completed, then capture the response. That will allow me to communicate to user in the UI what's going in while job is running, rather than just be waiting for something go happen. So far, I've switched from FMEServer.runWorkspaceWithData( repository, workspace, params, callback);toFMEServer.submitJob( repository, workspace, params, callback);which returns the job ID. There are so many ways in Javascript to now poll the service to check if the job is complete... I was hoping someone has a concise snippet to share?! Maybe there is

I'm trying to use Automations to process two different workspaces at different times using related data. Specifically, the first workspace should begin at 9 pm, process a number of input files, and write enriched data to a different set of files in a shared folder. The second workspace should begin at midnight, and process the files created by the first workspace. I'm using a writer set to "FME Automations" to create a list of files from the first workspace that can be processed by the second workspace within the same Automation. That part works fine, but I don't want the second workspace to start before midnight. Should I be able to accomplish this within a single Automation?

Has anyone encountered a situation whereby a FeatureReader in one workspace tries to read an XLSX file that is (still open) in a FeatureWriter in a different workspace? What would be the expected behavior? Asking because I've set up an Automation with two (time) overlapping workspaces, in which the second workspace will attempt to read files created by the first workspace.

I would like to know if I could compromise my microsoft account (hacker accessing my One Drive files and microsoft account) by putting my connection credentials for OneDrive in a script on the FME Cloud that is then accessed via a Server App.

I have FME Desktop licensed on an air-gapped server but covid has changed my working patterns; so, for the 2 or 3 days I work from home I don't have access to my favourite software. Is there any way to borrow a license from my air-gapped server for use on a different network?

This might be a bit of a simple question but I'm looking for a way to run an FME Server Automation as a singular event, one time, similar to right-click > Run on a Windows Scheduled Task. I'm running the Automation once per week using a Schedule Trigger, but if that Automation fails, I want to be able to manually run it again without impacting the existing schedule. I could duplicate the Automation and set the Schedule as Run Immediately but that would mean changing the Schedule settings each time. Not the end of the world, but I feel like there should be an easy way to run it just one time. I was looking at FME Server's Scheduler as well but it doesn't appear that you can setup an Automation and Trigger it one time, it seems like single workspace only. I'm running FME Server 2019.1.3.1.Any thoughts?Thanks!

I am being tasked by my manager to devise a process to move on prem FME to FME cloud. I cannt discover any documentation on this - Can you please direct me further. Regards

Need connected line attribute 'object id' in new created field of same shapefile attribute table.

Hey, I am competent with FME Desktop, but an extreme novice to FME Server.  I understand with FME server we can create web-apps and the like, and I have a great entry level task I want to see if FME can assist with. Currently we are emailed information from people within our organisation and we have to manually move this data into an excel spreadsheet.  I believe with FME Server it can host a page where these fellow staff can input a few basic text items (nothing spatial at this point, that will be phase 2 of my project) and then append it to a local excel table. I am looking for a tutorial to assist me with this process. I am a little overwhelmed as all tutorials I have found so far are wanting the user to upload a file, and the server converts to another file and is returned. This is not really applicable with my basic phase 1 task. Has anyone seen something that may assist, that is targeted to n00bs?

Hi, do you know if there is any incompatibility between FME Desktop and ArcGIS licence server and ArcFM licence server?

Hi together,I have the strange problem that the FeatureReader transformer, which works fine in FME Desktop is not considered when running on FME Server. The input is a URL - the purpose of the feature reader is to download a dataset from the URL. It worked already on FME Server - and stopped for some reason I simply don't know. I have checked the log - the FeatureReader transformer was simply not run. It is not disabled. It is perfectly connected. But it does not run. Is this a known problem - did any of you see the same? FME Desktop and Server both are 2020!

Hi,we generate some Topic's and get the POST URL. There is this  fmetoken=......But after one day there is a new generated tokenvalue in the URL. Why happen that and how we avoid this for the future? We have some external application, which use this URL and are depends on a static FMETokenthanks Jan
