FME Flow

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?

Good morning everyone, Imput1: a group of polylines in SHP or KMZ format and a LAS file. Imput2: Several LAS files How to output a Las file containing the closest points (from the imput2) to the line every 50 meters? Thank you. Alex

@rahulsharma​ and I just troubleshoot FME Workbench not opening on a Windows 10 machine that has an NVIDIA graphics card. There were no warnings or anything when trying to get the program to open. The mouse would spin for a second and that was about it. After a lot of trial and error, we found that changing in the NVIDIA Control Panel from "High Performance" graphics to "Integrated graphics", FME opened right up without issue. Hope this helps! Make sure to add each application (even do it for the Help to actually open). If you know of a better way, I'm all ears.     

Hello,I'm facing a strange issue configuring FME server eMail.The same parameters that work for the eMailer transformer inside a published workbench, raise an error when used in the FME server eMail configuration.The error is "couldn't connect to host,port" (attachment).Suggestions?TIARoberto

My organization is switching our license to an ESRI Edition license, but my client has Professional Edition instaled. Can I run this way while I wait to upgrade my client application?

I have a workspace on FME Server which triggers topics in the case of failing (or succeeding) when running the datadownload service. The topics were chosen when publishing. Now I want to change them, but I don't want to have to open up workbench and republish the workspace. I'd like to do it with the REST API. I can remove or add services from a workspace but I can't see a way to specify the topics. Any ideas?

Unable to run FME workbench with Python setup on Task scheduler. It runs fine when I run manually. It gives 0x1 error.

The whole workspace runs daily by means of a schedule, all the readers point to their respective CSV files URL, but the last created reads from another CSV source, and inserts in Google BigQuery the same amount of records obtained from such wrong CSV, but with null values. Is it recommended to change from schedule to automation?

​Main questionCan anyone advise me about the installation of the GDAL Python module and its implications on FME's Python interpretations? Can anyone share their experiences in using a different Python module within FME other than FME's Python interpreter or ArcPy? Background infoCurrently, it is not directly supported to calculate percentile values in the *StatisticsCalculator transformers of FME (e.g. also not in the RasterStatisticsCalculator). See also this Idea on the FME community.In order to still do so, I thought about using a Python script/module to perform this step. Specifically, I would like to extract the 95% percentile of pixel values in a GeoTIFF (those pixel values represent absolute height values), for portions of the GeoTIFF that overlap/intersect with 2D polygon features of building extents.  Python modules likely suitable for the task of calculating 'zonal statistics over a raster'One might use the 'Zonal Statistics As Table (Raster Analysis)' from ArcGIS Pro, which 

Hi all,  I've publish my workspace with SQL Server connection to FME Server and build an automation from that. However, the error message "MSSQL_SPATIAL writer: Failed to open writer" is returned when I run the automation.   I've check all three workaround given in this article, " https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-and-sql-server-troubleshooting-guide " but none of them works. Anyone have any idea or suggestions on how can I resolve this issue?

General info: There is a survey123 with a webhook to run a workspace in fme server. Webhook is only for new entries, not edited.  Test:From any Windows OS, once the survey is filled out, the webhook is triggered: a json file is sent to FME server and the workspace runs (i can see a completed job).  Test 2:From an iOS (tablet), survey is filled out. Not sure if the webhook is triggered, but there is no json file on FME Server and no jobs, running or queue or completed.  Question: Is there something on survey123 I can look at to know that the webhook was triggered? Is there an issue from an iOS device?  I don't have an android device to test on so not sure if the problem is mobile device specific or just iOS. Would appreciate any insight.

Hi today we tryied update our fme-server from 2020 to 2021.But we are not able to get it work with esri licensing within fme-server 2021 and arcgis pro 2.7In fme-server 2020 everything work fine with arcgis pro 2.7 Thx for any suggest solution! 

You can set security on database/web connections but the admin user has the permission to view, use and execute by default. Assume that a user knows the name of a secure database connection on the server and use that same name in his workbench as a private parameter with different parameters but with the same as the secure connection on the server. When the user upload his workbench to the server, he will not be able to execute the workbench on the server because he doesn't have the permission to use the database connection on the server. But he asks to schedule his workbench and the admin user configures the schedule for this workbench. From that moment the workbench is able to use the database connection on the server because the admin user has the permission to use the secure database connection.A solution could be that the schedule is configured by another user than admin. Is there any other way to handle this security issue?We are running FME Server 2020.1.3 and our engines ar

I am constantly getting asked to perform extremely simple excel tasks for my co-workers - vlookups, pivot tables, etc. Is it possible to create a workbench where they could just drag and drop their two spreadsheets, select their requestors and suppliers and hit run? I know how to do this in FME Desktop but how can I recreate this on cloud with a super simple user-interface and save myself some time?

Hi all,  I would like store the historical data in FME Server to MS SQL Server database. I have successfully store the data from FME Desktop to the SQL Server. Then I have publish the workspace to FME server to do the automation which will update the data daily at 9.00 AM.    However, I couldn't store and view the past data in the database once the data is update after the automation. Any suggestions?

Hey there We have updated our FME Server to Version 2021.0.1. Now we have a small problem with the fmedatadownload service. The Workbench works fine, and it also returns a URL. But the returned URL has the wrong protocol and not quite the right host. We have the following request:https://fmesvr.company.com/fmedatadownload/...?opt_servicemode=sync&opt_responseformat=jsonThe response URL looks like this: http://fmesvr/fmedatadownload/results/... If we change the download URL to the right protocol and host the download works just fine. Obviously we have some Settings wrong. Can anyone help witch config files are wrong?

For my workflow, I need to expose this value in an attribute. What are my options?

We've upgraded to fme server 2021, and when we build a new automation, it's impossible to use a value from upstream and pass it to a workspace parameter when the parameter type is not plain text. Before with fme 2020, its was possible to set a choice parameter with a uptream value.   Is this a bug, or a new behavior for fme server 2021 ?

I would like to know what TLS version is supported for FME 2020 desktop.

Like to upload 1:n files through a FME Server App to FME Server for processing (kick off several automations that are triggerd by a directory watch). I have setup a workspace containing a Data File Reader and a File Copy Writer. It works but some unnecessary processing is done. For example zip's are unzipped and I have to filter to get the original zip for copying. Is there a more elegant way to upload files without FME start processing things? 

I have an ArcGIS Portal OAuth web connection I created for myself and successfully uploaded to our FME Server. It's been working great. My assumption is, because it's OAuth, I can share the web connection with my colleagues who are being switched over to OAuth on ArcGIS Portal and also have workspaces on FME Server utilizing ArcGIS Portal feature services. As a test I exported my web connection, sent it to a colleague who imported it and then changed a workspace with Portal connections to use the OAuth web connection. He manually ran the workspace without issue. When he tried to upload the workspace to FME Server, however, he received a warning there was already a connection with the same name - the one I had already uploaded. Neither of the two options given worked. 1) He could upload the workspace without overwriting the OAuth web connection already on FME Server but then the workspace failed to write to ArcGIS Portal. (Only Portal Writers in his workspace, no Readers.) FME S

We're trying to create a new geodatabase but are getting the following error: Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.842021-4-14 08:54:44 Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `\\\\srvarcgis\\data\\Projects\\Data\\test.gdb' for writing I have verified that FME Server has read/write access to that path by reading from a file and by writing to a different file format (CSV), so it's not CIFS permissions issues. We have also tried both geodatabase APIs (FGDB and Open FGDB). The issue occurs regardless which user is used to run the workbench. The issue occurs on multiple workbenches. What else could we try looking at?
