Is there a way to limit the directory monitoring automation to fire when the files i am interested in changes?

I am monitoring several directories that have multiple files in them. Whenever any file changes my automation runs. Example Directory contains the files that make up a shape file. The automation will fire for every file in the directory that changes.(5)

Adding multiple tabular data to single geometry in shape file

I have two sets of input data.World graphic data in polygonWorld tabular data in CSV I want to add multiple tabular data in country wise graphical polygon data by putting a join on country name. The desired output will be each single polygon with multiple attribute data from CSV. I have used "Feature_Merger" & "Feature_Joiner" but the output is not as per expectations. The feature merger adds all the attributes in a list file which I am finding it difficult to write in shapefile as attribute data. The feature joiner just add polygon data to all the CSV records. Please suggest if someone has done anything in such condition. Thanks in advance.

Using a workspace on FME Server as the input for an FMW reader

Is there anyway to read information using an FMW reader about a workspace that has been uploaded to FME Server without downloading first? I can automatically download to a temp location via the API if needed just wanted to check I wasn't missing an alternative

Does the XSLTProcessor support XSLT stylesheets of version 2.0?

Hello everyone, A customer of mine has created a lot of XSLT stylesheets which we want to apply to our XML documents. We would like to use FME for the automation part (download XML, apply stylesheet, write result and push to server). However I seem to receive an error when applying XSLT stylesheets of version 2.0. Version 1.0 stylesheets work as expected but the workflow throws an error as soon as it encounters a function that is only present in XSLT 2.0 (like lower-case or upper-case).The stylesheets that I used to test the workflow both work as expected outside of the FME workflow. Is XSLT 2.0 currently not supported? Or am I missing something?I am using FME 2020.0 - Build 20238 - WIN64.

Temp vs System/Temp FME Cloud

Hi all, I have a question about FME Cloud and the Temp folder.  I have found that the results from the DataDownload and also when data is uploaded to FME Server it goes into the System/Temp resource and not into the Temp resource.  Is there a specific reason for this? I've just been looking at this article and have bumped up my temp space. But when looking and the usage on the FME Cloud console it seems it's never really used.  By contrast the Primary disk is getting used constantly for tasks like writing out DataDownload results and Upload results.  Any thoughts? Should I just reduce my temp again? @gerhardatsafe​ what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance

Insufficient Privileges for engines in newly created folders

I have the FME Server Core running in a CentOS instance in AWS and a number of engines on separate instances. The shared resources folder is in an Elastic File System mounted to all the engines and the Core. I noticed that when new folders are created from the FME Web UI, they are created by the root user and not by the fmeserver user as I was expecting. This is causing the engines to have problems writing into those new folders because the fmeserver user (which is the user that runs the workspace) lacks the necessary permissions.  I can't keep modifying every new folder's permissions to allow for the fmeserver user to be able to write to them. What could be a more permanent solution? Can the Core be changed to use the fmeserver user instead when creating new directories?

FME Server Automation w/ Autodesk Vault

Does anyone have experience building out a FME Server Automation with a trigger based on changes in Autodesk Vault?  I was thinking a Directory Watch would be the way to go, but my IT group doesn't seem to think a directory path exists for the files in Vault. If it matters, Vault and the files therein are stored on local servers (not on the cloud).  Any information is appreciated.

Allow FME Server to connect through the proxy server

We have a corporate proxy server in our organisation. We have this server configured in our desktop version of FME successfully. We have just started trialling FME server and running a workbench returns the following error for a HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'SSL connect error'(HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up(HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been enteredI'm assuming this is because we have to configure a proxy for our FME Server application however I can find no information regarding this issue.

What's a good approach to detecting when files in a directory are replaced with files of the same name (size can be different)?

We have a folder of pdf files where we want to be able to track two things - when a new file is added when an existing file is replaced with a file of the same name.  We have 1) working (using Directory Watcher). But I'm not sure of the best way to approach 2). I guess we could look out for situations of 1) where the file count in the directory has also increased. But I'm not clear how to accomplish that or whether that's the best approach. Incidentally, these files are project drawings. And our business practice is such that when as-built info is added to the drawings, they get re-scanned and the existing file gets replaced with this new scanned file.

Troublshooting Receive email in FME Server.

The server seems to send emails fine but when i setup a receive email topic, nothing happens. I looked at the publication log and nothing in the log that would reference receiving an email. Any idea on troubleshooting this. maybe i'm emailing incorrectly? or maybe the username in protocol isn't setup correctly? not how these should look since the example isn't clear.
