Is there any way possible to send an HTTP Response after receiving a webhook trigger in FME Flow Hosted Automations? I am attempting to set up an automation that runs in response to webhooks coming from Monday.com, however before I can start configuring the actual webhooks, monday.com requires verification that I have control of the endpoint. I need to do this by having the platform send a JSON challenge to the endpoint URL, which must then be responded to with an identical JSON POST body. I believe it must also be returned with a status of 200. Documentation on setting up monday.com webhooks here. I have tried to accomplish this by adding a workspace after the webhook trigger to pull the IP address that the challenge request was sent from from the HTTP headers, and then using an HTTPCaller to send a POST request with the JSON challenge body to that IP address, but this is not working - the request just times out.
I have an FME workbench that performs change detection logic and outputs features using the Automations Writer. This workbench is triggered within an automation, and downstream workbenches receive their input from the Automation Writer output.Most of the time, everything works as expected. However, on rare occasions, the workbench fails with the following error:AUTOMATIONS Writer: FME Flow error: 'Blocking request exceeded 10s' I would appreciate any suggestions or possible workarounds to prevent or handle this issue.@ebygomm @redgeographics @hkingsbury @danilo_fme @runneals
I’ll try to make this really quick. We are trying to automate running several FME Form jobs. Each one will execute in line in the automation. The reason is we want them to stop if even one job fails and to send an email (External Action in FME Flow Automations). Being new I’m having issues trying to get the Email to work. I’ve tried various things with no luck. Is there anyone out there with experience on setting this up through Office365? I just want to know if I post this image of the settings if you might be able to tell me which are the most important to focus on. Also, any other pitfalls, internal flow steps, or even external steps I need to be taking. FYI: I’ve cleared out some of the settings in the attached image.Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge!!!
Hello all,I have a MapInfo table on a file server, that gets edited by users and I need to make sure it is packed each night.Is there a way that FME Server (FME Flow) can perform a pack on a MapInfo table in place?
Hi, What is the best way to manage the schema drifting issue? Context: Currently the user uploads an Excel File through Workspace apps, and the file contains multiple attributes where the attribute names can change anytime. ID can be reported as Id, Identifier, id, ID. What is the best way to map and standardize these attributes ?
Good afternoon fellow FME enthousiasts,I'm struggling with the following. I'm trying to set up the System Email settings on our FME Flow to allow users to request a password reset. It all seems pretty straightforward but can't get it to work. Maybe i'm missing something though (it is friday afternoon after all). I've set it up as follows: But when i validate it I get the error:“Due to a configuration change made by your administrator or because you moved to a new location you must use multi factor authentication to access…...” Emails through emailers in workspaces ran on flow work like a charm, but this one keeps evading me. Any help would be appreciated.
So not specifically about FME, but very useful nonetheless:https://thecodingkitty.com/videosShort videos explaining IT concepts, with cats 😺. A lot of them are quite relevant to FME Flow.
I have a folder with hundreds of DWG files. We are moving away from CAD software and so wanted to convert our existing DWGs into SVGs for future compatability with new apps
Dear Community,i am experiencing a strange behavior from our FME Server when uploading/publishing a FME Desktop workspace in FME Server.Previously, it was possible to publish workspaces from FME Desktop to FME Server.Recently, publishing from FME Desktop is no longer possible, nor is it possible to upload workspaces to FME Server via the Web UI.I only receive very little information about the error in FME Desktop ,also with the debug logging.The following excerpt from the log:Successfully retrieved service properties.Retrieving service parameters for ‘geodatabase_sde2none.fmw’...No service parameters found.Uploading as ‘geodatabase_sde2none.fmw’...Publish failed - FME Flow encountered an error.When I upload a workspace in FME Server via Web UI, I get the following messages in the network console of the Browser:Get Call <FME-Server-URL>/repositories/{repository}/items/{item}returns a 404 Not Found status code and {"reason": "missing","what": "geodatabase_sde2none.fmw","message": "
If someone chooses to use FME Flow for Connection Storage in FME Form, how does it work when the FME Flow connection is changed from one environment to another?Do the connections automatically switch to those defined in the second environment, or does the Connection Storage need to be updated each time?Will the Deployment Parameters follow the change?
HiWe are currently using FME Server 2021.2.1 on one of our servers, and we have identified a security vulnerability in this version. We would like to know if there are any available patches to resolve this issue. Please note that our ArcGIS Enterprise version is 10.9.1. We are concerned that upgrading FME Server to a newer version may cause compatibility issues with our current ArcGIS environment. Could someone please advise on the best way to solve this issue?
I have some daily automations set up to update feature layers in our GDB from a rest endpoint. There are instances when the workspace cannot connect to the source to read in the features and therefore fails the job. I have retry parameters set on the run workspace action as follows: number of attempts 1, wait between attempts 5 seconds, backoff multiplier none, randomization factor none, max wait 1 minute. Having the retry as been helpful but causes us to recieve multiple emails. Specifically, if the job succeeds we recieve 1 email that it was successful. If the job fails both attempts, we recieve 2 emails that it failed both attempts. If the job fails the first and succeeds the 2nd attempt, we recieve one failure and one succeess email. We have some users who are only set up to recieve failure emails and therefore are not aware that the 2nd attempt was successful.Is there a way to configure the retry parameters or automation to only send an email on the final attempt? If needed for re
Hi!I have had trouble fully understanding how to setup the ArcGIS Server license on the FME Flow VM. I cannot seem to find clear documentation online to walk admins through this process. I understand that an ArcGIS Server license needs to be on the same machine as FME Flow if workflows contain ArcSDE and gdbs.If possible, can someone please provide steps, or link to an article that clearly walks through this setup? For some background, my organization has an Esri Enterprise environment, but I have no idea if when walking through the setup if a new site needs to be created, or if I’m supposed to join our existing site, or if joining an existing site could disrupt our Enterprise environment if things arent setup correctly on on FME Flow machine.Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
I have a working workbench that accepts a user parameter for a Cityworks WorkOrderSid. I have a FWM Flow Webhook setup per instructions. I think my issue is that the work order sid is not getting transfered as expected. Here is a screenshot of the CW Template Details: I think the Template text is wrong because im getting an error in FLOW:it looks like the auth code is getting passed in to the WorkorderSID?Let me know if you need to see any other part of the setup...
Hi FME Server Team,I would like to request an enhancement to the FME Server REST API.API Endpoint:/transformations/jobs/completedEnhancement Request:Currently, it is not possible to filter completed jobs by their finish time using this endpoint. I would like to request support for querying completed jobs by finishTime, in addition to filtering by repository and workspace.Use Case:For monitoring and automation purposes, I need to programmatically retrieve jobs that have successfully finished within the past 5 minutes, filtered by a specific repository and workspace name.Example Query:repository: <repository_name>workspace: <workspace_name>completed successfully (completedState: success)finished within the past 5 minutes (finishTime >= <timestamp>)Having the ability to query by finishTime (ideally with support for both a start and end range, or a relative time based on current time eg. last 5 minutes) would greatly streamline our integration workflows.Thank you for c
Hi,In articles such as this: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407440139533-How-to-Create-a-SharePoint-Single-Tenant-Web-Connection-for-FME-Flow the workflow for publishing web connections with delegated permissions is to upload to Flow, and then modify the underlying Web Service. However, if FME Flow is set to be the connection storage, then that Web Service will be modified for Form as well as Flow.I am wondering how to manage this? Should I create two web services and web connections and upload both to Flow, then edit the Flow version to include the client secret? Then we would need to develop the workspace in Form using the Form specific connection, and then switch to the Flow version before publishing?It would be good to get some guidance on best practice for this.Thanks,Marc
FME Flow currently has columns in the Jobs Completed screen like the workspace, source, date/time, engine, etc.What happens for bulk dynamic data replication is you need to run the same fmw multiple times with differing parameters. e.g. a SQL Server to SHP Downloader that runs on a single table at a time.Whilst yes you COULD run the workspace only once (reading hundreds of thousands of features), this not only adversely and unnecessarily affects server resources but means a single error affects all data. Instead, it’s best to run the workspace multiple times (once per SQL Server table) via say a FMEFlowJobSubmitter.In FME Flow this means you get the Jobs screen full of hundreds of the same workspace with a differing date. There’s no way to tell at a glance what parameters caused the 10 out of 200 jobs of the same workspace to fail.I’d like to see a parameter exposed in the Jobs screen so that I can see at a glance that Table ABC and XYZ failed. Not that Workspace123 failed 10 times wit
Hi there,In this article (Configure user attribute mapping with Azure AD SAML Provider – FME Support Center), a group claim can be setup to pass an AD group name which aligns to a role in FME Flow. As a group claim could be based on a search criterion and many AD groups could be returned which is a common method of Enterprise group membership in ArcGIS Enterprise software. I was wondering if this could be used to grant several roles to a user?Looking at controlling access to repositories, who can view workspace and who can run a job, etc via AD group assignment.Thanks
I am quite stuck on a problem with the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer in FME 2025.1 and would appreciate any ideas.I am using the writer in update mode and not updating the spatial column.The error is only on FME Flow and not FME Form. Error updating feature for the table/feature class '<feature class name>'. Check the geometry of such feature is valid and is not too small for the resolution.I tried removing the geomerty before the writer since no geometry is being updated - same problem.The FME Flow Server has ArcGIS Server 11.1 installed rather than ArcGIS Pro 3.3 as on the desktop. [Edited with version numbers ]The feature class has archiving so I am little nervous updating the records directly with SQL.Any thoughts?
I know it’s not currently possible to set up an automation app that takes a user uploaded file as input, but i was wondering if anyone has gone down the route of using a workspace app to upload a file and then having that workspace trigger an automation via the rest api sending the details of the uploaded file location?
Is there documentation on where the various logs for FME server live? And also something for how they are structured? I’d like to create a datadog/grafana esque dashboard to be able to view these easier. Thanks!
Since using FME Flow version 2024.2.3, running on Windows Server 2022. we face the following issues.BackgroundWe found that in FME Flow 2024.2.3 the network security protocol TLS1.3 is not configured by default. We expect it to work, see e.g. FME Community TLSv1.3 Support). Also, for TLSv1.3, the minimum requirements for the versions of OpenSSL and Java used are:Tomcat 9.0.13 and later versions have built-in TLS 1.3 support For TLS 1.3 support, you need JDK 1.8.0_170 or later.As FME Support Third Party Component Versions reports, FME Flow 2024.2.3 uses Tomcat 9.0.91 and Java JDK 17.0.12+7.Actions First step: We enabled TLSv1.3 on our Server, by including the following keys in the Windows Registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.3 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.3\Server "Enabled"=dword:00000001 "DisabledByDefa

We just upgraded to FME Flow 2025.2.1 and are now seeing some odd errors in our nightly data automation. Two nights in a row we have had jobs stopping at the same spot, there is nothing in the job log, and the job just fails with the message Job did not complete. When I look in the Windows event log (SYSTEM) for the server I can see a note of a “Fail Fast Exception” in fmeengine.exe - has anyone else seen anything like that?
Hi everyone,I have a task to automate a process which starts with a Smartsheet. I’m somehow new to FME. Does anyone know how can I add the Smartsheet to my workbench as a reader.
