FME Flow

I am trying to set the annotation scale options for a block in CAD but I cannot seem to find the proper attribute or setting. I want to be able to set the available annotative scales similar to how its done for text below in the DWG styler. I want to have these scales preloaded for my block as seen below.  

My fme flow 2025 server setup requires proxy settings to allow access to other ressources in the net.This seems to cause trouble with the Elastic Writer (Elastic Cluster in this case).When switching the proxy off, it is no problem to write content into a elastic index.Switching the proxy on and putting the elastic server in the “no proxy for” list, leads to connection attempts to the proxy server and then timeouts, like here (10.150.0.77 is the proxy server):2025-10-28 20:45:44|   1.2|  0.0|INFORM|ELASTICSEARCH_CLUSTER Writer: Feature Type Parameter 'fme_match_id_attribute' has value '_id' for feature type 'adressen_4326'2025-10-28 20:45:44|   1.2|  0.0|INFORM|ELASTICSEARCH_CLUSTER writer: Opening cluster 'http://geogdiesp001.xxx:9200/'2025-10-28 20:46:05|   1.2|  0.0|ERROR |ELASTICSEARCH_CLUSTER writer: JSON parsing error: boolean expected (at offset 2)2025-10-28 20:46:05|   1.2|  0.0|ERROR |ELASTICSEARCH_CL

Is it possible to use FME Flow Hosted with a Remote engine located on an internal network. Thinking that this configuration would minimise FME Flow core maintenance, Simplify firewall rules, provide access to internal network resources like file system shares and databases... If it is possible, is there any documentation on how to setup this configuration.Cheers,e. 

Our current FME Flow configuration uses 4 standard engines and 2 queues. One queue is set to high priority and is dedicated for workspace apps for quick turnaround jobs, and the other is the default queue with medium priority. One engine is dedicated to the quick turnaround queue, and the other 3 are dedicated to the default queue. We have a single job routing rule that assigns jobs that are sourced from workspace apps to the quick turnaround queue. The question is, if the default queue has no jobs at the current time and there is already a job running in the single engine dedicated to the quick turnaround queue, can a workspace app job be moved to the default queue, instead of waiting for the current job to finish? I’m guessing this is a simple ask, but I’m missing how to accomplish it.

Hi All,Does anyone have any experience and examples for calling FME server from a QGIS processing script? I have published some (data download) workspaces in FME server into workspace apps for my end users within the company. They really like this, but they would prefer not to leave QGIS. I would like the script to place the zip file returned bij FME server in a folder and unpack it. Thank you.

It appears that FME automations run workspaces as the last user to edit the automation, not the automation owner or the workspace owner.  Is there a way to identify the last user to edit an automation and where that differs from the automation owner? I can't see anything within the interface, or returned as automation information via the API (FME Server 2021)

Hi All,We have FME Flow (and Hosted) 2023.2.I would like to set up a FME Flow Hosted instance. The instance will have engines configured both on Cloud and on-premise. I am not very sure if the FME Flow Hosted instance can connect to the remote on-premise engines through so-called remote engine service. I read a discussion of the topic in this Forum below. It appears to be negative. But the discussion was 9 months ago. Not sure if it is still valid today. As the FME Administrator's Guide states, “Customers of FME Flow Hosted can also connect to Remote Engine Services.” https://d

I’m having a problem with my API endpoint (both PUT and POST). It’s supposed to insert or update records in a PostgreSQL database. The database encoding is set to UTF-8, but unfortunately, any text data I send ends up stored with garbled characters (e.g. Polish letters are replaced by strange symbols).It doesn’t matter whether I call the endpoint from postman or directly from a browser the result is the same.Has anyone run into a similar issue? payload: {  "lok_miejscowosc": "Poznań"}Content-Type application/json; charset=UTF-8db result:lok_miejscowosc|---------------+PoznaÅ„        |

Hi FME Community,I came across the following notice in the AWS S3 API documentation about the Owner object:“Beginning November 21, 2025, Amazon S3 will stop returning DisplayName. Update your applications to use canonical IDs (unique identifier for AWS accounts), AWS account IDs (12-digit identifiers), or IAM ARNs (full resource naming) as a direct replacement for DisplayName. Between July 15 and November 21, 2025, you will begin to see an increasing rate of missing DisplayName values in the Owner object.”Reference – AWS DocumentationCould you please confirm whether this upcoming change will (or might) affect how FME Flow interacts with Amazon S3 — for example, any components that depend on the Owner object or its

We are upgrading to FME Flow 2024 and wanting to make some improvements. As part of this we want to know if we can have a user upload workbenches to FME Flow. Then login to FME Flow with their user account, but somehow build automations, streams, apps, and scheduled jobs to run under a different user account. We are trying to migrate from putting the all the running automations, schedules, and other items under individual user accounts. Instead we want to assign to a departmental account. Since we have FME Flow tied into our Active Directory this will prevent any permission issues of jobs not working when an employee leaves the company and their AD account is suspended. I didn’t really want to have every user login to FME Flow with the departmental user account. Then we won’t keep the individual repositories for workspaces and will become a mess. I know the GUI/Web Front End as-is doesn’t support this but trying to decide what approach I could do to solve this.M

Hi,I’m running into an issue with FME Workbench 2021. When I run the workspace locally, all expected files are generated correctly. The same workspace also works when published to our older FME Server (same version, 2021.0).However, after publishing it to a new FME Server environment (also 2021.0), some of the output files are missing. No errors are reported in the log, but certain files simply don't get written. The log even says they have created the files.Nothing has changed in terms of file paths or logic – they still use dynamic paths (e.g., FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP). The only major change is that we replaced FeatureReader with HTTPCaller to avoid a bug with esri_OID in high availability setups.I’m running the exakt same job but still I get this issue.  I’ve already:Verified that the paths are correctChecked resource locationsTried republishing and updating the “download data” edit.Still, the problem remains i

Hello!I need to create an automation that will calculate 3 condition scores based on a series of questions answered via S123 submissions. What transformers would be best to use to calculate the condition scores? I’ve tried using the expressionevaluator, but it seems like the values don’t all get transferred. I’m also having a difficult time writing the calculated scores back to the feature service, what parameters should be set when writing calculated scores back to the feature service?Thanks for any help! 

Hi I am running a flow in FME form to send some automatic email and it is working fine. However, when I publish this to FME flow, it throws an error message below:I see in some of previous post to delete safe.emailer under reources and package. I did try that, however issue still persist. Can anyone please help? 69 2025-10-15 19:46:41 | PythonFactory failed to load python symbol `fmepy_emailer.Emailer' 70 2025-10-15 19:46:41 | Factory proxy not initialized 71 2025-10-15 19:46:41 | Emailer_CALLER (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature

FME has the capability to send email notifications to an external client and this can either be done using the Emailer transformer in FME Form or using the Email Action in Automations on FME Flow.This article https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407404506253-How-to-use-Microsoft-Modern-Authentication-with-FME provided by Safe Software outlines the necessary steps to enable Microsoft modern authentication for use with FME.A colleague from our IT department created an Azure AD app and assigned the necessary permissions to it. I edited the Microsoft Mail (safe.emailer) web service template according to the instructions and verified that the web connection is working as intended (by pressing the "Test" Button in the "Manage Web Service" Dialog). We can use this web connection to send emails via the

Hi everyone,We are planning an fme upgrade shortly and I want to compile a list of the workspaces, automations and other items we have on our FME Flow instance to help plan for testing, and determining the amount of effort etc we will need to plan for.Is there a way of doing this?Does anyone have a process they can share?Have had a look at using the api interface and http callers and could set something up with this, but hoping someone might have already done this that I could adapt for my systems. Or that there is a simpler native way that i have missed.TIAJacky

My workspace is set to python compatibility 3.11 + a custom arcgis python environment, which works perfectly running in formRunning the same workspace on my Remote engine(on the same machine as form) it is using python v3.12 inside the FME install directory, even though I have changed the python variables to point to the correct version and python path using fme APPLY_SETTINGS The settings look correct using fme LIST_SETTINGS + I have restarted all FME servicesHow do I set the remote engine to use the correct python environment?Remote engine - FME 2024.2 on windows, on premFME Flow 2024.2 - Cloud/hosted

I use the ArcGISOnlineConnector (3.10) on FME 2024.2.1.0On FME Form everythings works perfect.

FME 2021.2.6 (no possibility to update)I have a complex FME workspace with about 10 Feature Readers for different databases. For development, it’s essential to use feature caching. However, when running the workspace, the caching must be turned off. My current method to release an update:Update the dev-workspace Copy the dev-workspace to the production location Open the production workspace and disable caching for each Feature Reader manually Launch the production workspace through a .bat file (that executes multiple procedures, one of them being the workspace)I would much prefer to pass “enable feature caching” as a parameter in the .bat file to avoid opening and alterting the readers everytime I update the workspace. Am I missing out on a more efficient option here? I could probably pass the timeout time as a user parameter and set it to a very low value (e.g., 1s). However, I assume this will severely impact

Hello FME Community,I'm looking for a way to configure the system's SMTP mail server settings directly during the FME Flow installation process, rather than after.Our goal is to fully automate the deployment of FME Flow using scripts (e.g., for Windows Server), and we want the instance to be fully configured and ready to go once the installation is complete, without needing to manually log in to the web interface.I  know how to configure the mail server post-install via the Web UI.My Question:Is there a supported method to pass the SMTP parameters (host, port, credentials, etc.) directly to the installer, config file, or command line parameters?Thanks in advance for any insights!

Recently been working on a process that uses the sharepoint online connector (package 1.7.1) to download, list, upload and delete files.This is working as expected in FME Form (tested on both 2024.1 and 2025.1)However, when this is deployed to FME Flow 2025.1 the sharepoint online connector that should download a file returns an error (but doesn’t cause the workspace to fail)Error: SharepointOnlineConnector: Could not connect to server. Check that you are connected to the internet and that no firewall is blocking outbound connections.(Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1028)')))'The workspace continues and the sharepoint online connectors that are listing and uploading items work as expected.It’s been tested on another similar FME Flow environment that has not yet been upgraded to FME 2025 and the erro

Hi All,I currently have an Email trigger setup in flow however I’m running into the issue where the source email has the same Email Subject for all of its emails. I am currently receiving 2 scheduled emails from the source system which will come through daily in 2 separate emails with different attachments. e.g. Top 20 Regions.xlsx, Daily Occupancy.xlsxI have the download attachments moving to a Folder in Resources.Following the trigger, I have a workspace running however if I use “Source Microsoft Excel File” “email attachment” I have no control over which attachment is occurring due to the above.  Any assistance would be very helpful

I'm working on FME Flow and trying to build in a way to identify and catch database errors that occur in my workspaces that run on FME Flow.If my FeatureWriter (or Writer) fails to write to my database I would like to identify the error(s), such as the user has no rights to write to the database or the database is not available, and send them as an email. Since there is no <rejected> port on the FeatureWriter, is there any other way to catch these kind of errors than to access the log file of the failed job via an HTTPCaller and the REST API and to see if the ERROR/WARNING messages contain keywords such as "MSSQL Writer" that identify the errors as database errors?  /Vera

Hi, I kindly need help as I’m trying to convert new raster/vector symbols into ArcGIS *.stylx . Apparently, our subject matter experts (SMEs) in the company created about 100 new feature symbols and so I’m considering bulk converting them into ArcGIS *.stylx in an efficient manner using FME. Greatly appreciate your kind assistance. Thanks, Willy 

Hi All, im having the issue of my ArcGIS readers and writers on my FME server (cloud 2021) expiring after a couple of weeks and needing manual re authentication. What is the suggested work flow to automate authentication in FME Server to AGOL? I have read all the forum posts about expiring tokens, watched a range of youtube videos, added client IDs, client secrets and FME server redirects but no luck, i have tried the FME desktop - Arcgis_Token_Getter Transformer. i can get a token but not sure where to put it....  My requirements are - From FME server 2021 read or write a ESRI arcgis online feature service and not to have to manually re-authenticate every two weeks? All my Desktop workspaces work fine (because I'm manually authenticating when I add the AGOL reader or writer) once I publish the workspace to server I have to wait 2 weeks to 'test' if it fails when the token expires so it takes me two weeks it iterate over my failure...

Hi I’m currently trying to acces the documentation of the API I'm making using data virtualization. The Swagger documentation page loads, but it seems to fail to get the correct server on which I have made the API. Due to this I can’t test any of the API calls. This is the link to the swagger documentation: https://fme-acc.nordend.eu/fmeserver/swagger-ui/?api=2fd53796-610d-4fb6-8a92-5c05335568e7#/default/getCollectionsThis is the error that chrome runs into when loading the web page.  Does somebody now what the issue could be? I have no reverse proxy on the server so I don’t think it is the same as what is described here:
