FME Flow

In the last FME World Fair (I know, I'm late) there is this great presentation about pushing FME Server to the limit. I strongly suggest you watch it if you like pushing things to the limit : https://www.safe.com/presentations/zipsters-magic-show-pushing-fme-limits/ I understand that we can have 250 engines per core, so on a machine with 4 cores it makes a total of 1000 engines.At the end of the show @donatsafe​ challenge @lauraatsafe​ and @grantarnold​ to have 10 000 engines on a machine for next year World Fair.What I don't understand is the big deal about that challenge...Why don't they use a 128 cores machine available on AWS ?

I am wondering if anybody has an idea of using ArcGIS server locator service in FME for geocoding.Your direction would be appreciated.

 I know how to do it with a workspace and HTTPCaller and with the Rest API but I would like to know if it is possible directly through the external action : "Make an HTTP request" and if so how.Thanks!

My customer wants to use the IAM Role when authenticating in an Automation action, writing to an S3 bucket. When building the automation, it is required to specify a AWS Access Key ID and a AWS Secret Access Key.  I found some input on IAM Roles for a S3Connector in Workbench, but not on the FME Server external action.  Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi all! I have created a FME Workflow in Desktop which connects and runs fine. I then published the workflow to Server and immediately ran the workflow again for it to work fine...for a short while. After some time, the workflow begins to fail with a '401 - Not Authenticated' error.  If I go into Web Connections on FME Server and 'Authorise' the Web Connection, I can enter my Sharepoint username and password before approving the permissions. The next screen then appears totally blank. Behind the scenes, Sharepoint is returning the following error; 'the endpoint only accepts POST requests. Received a GET request.”' I've read and followed this article but to no avail; '

We have FME server 2020 Deployed, and has been running fine until today. It seems all jobs are now placed into the "Queue" and stay there......i can click on the queued jobs, and "resubmit" them and they execute. Licensing still ahs many months left, and engines are available.I will be thankful for any help.  

Hi team, I have published a workbench to FME Server 2020. I am trying to configure automations to be triggered if the process fails. I want to leverage the parameters of the process ( email, data source etc..) and have FME server send me an email with the parameters entered by the user.  Thanks in advance. 

Hi Everyone!Here's a part of the log that I'm trying to decode. How to check what exactly is f_71 (PythonFactory)? How to link this to some specific Transformer or part of the FME process?Second question is, why there is no information about peak process memory usage on the FME Server? Locally I can see this value populated in the logfile, while on the FME Server it's always 0kB.

Hello everyone!I'm trying to connect in my Resources folder to google drive folder.in my localhost server, it worked great.but now I'm trying to do it in our sever at work, but it is not working.This is the work's screenshot: and this is my localhost: does someone have an idea?Thanks!

We are using FME desktop 2020 and server 2020. We have a fme server job submitter transformer that creates child jobs to perform a data load. Each of these creates a warning in the system messages "Job 3117686 specifies a priority, but job priority is no longer supported. Use job queue priority instead. Please see: http://fme.ly/KB72058"Looking in the transformer the job priority still exists (although we use job queue specification) and i cannot remove this value. I noticed that at some stage it had been set to 75 but I cannot remove it, only set it to 100. Is this sufficient?

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

I tried to find out any example or details about pass criteria shown in "Pass against All base" in Spatial filter but no luck. Can anyone explain how its work ? If example Base is Parcel shape file and candidate is building centroid.  Any help here ? 

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.  

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 Ser

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?
