Testing automations in fme server

Does anyone have any hints and tips for testing automations in fme server 2019?ExamplesI have a scheduled automation and want to test whether an email gets sent correctly reporting on job success or failure, do i have to manually change the schedule to 5 minutes in the future to do this or is there another way?I want to check whether an email that is constructed using user-keys returns the correct output, do I have to artificially construct workspaces that fail to check the fail part of the automation?I'm thinking that creating a dummy workspace with a parameter that will control a pass or fail result is and building the automation with this initially might be the way to go but wonder if I'm missing something?

best practice: having users publish their data themselves

We have one database, where only data-owners have access to edit their own data. When they have finished editing, we publish the data for them to another database, where all of our customers have read-only access. From there, some of the data is then published to yet another database for our WebGIS, first in the test-environment, and when it's ok to the production. Depending on the data, there are sometimes even more steps to do. Now with FME-Server, we want the users to publish their data themselves. What would be the best way to set this up? In Server Apps you can run just one workbench, so we would have to have two or more Server Apps apps in a row... Is there a possibility to link them in one page, without having to code anything? Or is there another way to set this up? thanks in advance, Vera

Unable to run Jobs

Hi,Currently in the process of setting up a distributed install of FME Server 2019.2.3.1 (Build 19823). In its current state a load balancer points to one of two webservers and both web servers point to one FME Server. (second server isn't setup yet) The webservers are ISS and are using ARR to pass calls through to tomcat. IIS is configured with a wild card certificate, as is tomcat, so it is HTTPS all the way through to FME Server. The redirects work fine, we are able to view logs, change settings ect both within the internal and external networks.The issue that we're having is that when the Service Hosts are set to the external url we are unable to submit jobs. no log files, nothing When we change the Service Hosts to the machine host name, we are able to submit jobs when accessed from the internal network but not from the external network.Looking at the network traffic this is the error that tomcat is returning We have tried a number of things:Certificate is setup as per me

Connecting to a JMS cluster, what to enter in the Provider URL?

Hello all,I succesfully connected to an Oracle Weblogic ESB (JMS) with some publications and subscriptions.But...The infrastructure here has a JMS-cluster, meaning there are two url-entries, not one.Connecting to one of the two works fine, but does not have the redundancy intended by having a cluster of two.So, when I put one URL in the Provider URL-field it works, but how can I enter two, for redundancy?This goes for publications and subscriptions. Kind regards,Martin

Do we have another transformer instead of topology builder to create from node to node

part of line intersects to line at the same point . i would like to create from node , to node , so i used topology builder , but it creates extra nodes that i do not need ,and split the line .the vertex at beginning of the line and vertex at end of line that what i need . i tried using filter touches in candidate out to first topology builder clean no group by id then topology builder clean yes . but the ouput at second topology builder still gives extra nodes .as picture , this method works with crossing lines but when i have part of line as part of another line it creates extra nodes . the output of topology builder clean yes ,but it creates intersection point that i do not need as split the line in new point Do we have another transformer instead of topology builder to create from node to node ?or how could i using topology builder properly to create nodes when i have crossing lines and lines touched in as picture .

FME Server Automation templates

We have built a lot of automations in FME-Server 2019, all of which send EMails on failure. As it is not possible with FME-Server 2019 to template actions/triggers, we first had built an "Automation-Template" with the Emailer-Action in it and used this to build the automations.But now the password has changed... A template would really be helpful now! Has this idea https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/87710/fme-server-automation-templates.html been realized for FMEServer 2020?

FME Server 2020.0.0.1 - Problems with Automations> Build

I am studying FME Server 2020.0.0.1 and I have created a Trigger to run with Automations> Build Automation following the exercise in all its steps. I think I am doing everything perfect but when I get to "Star Automation" to run a Schedule process and an Action, the system freezes as if thinking and did not just run. I think that I have done everything correctly, I have also taken all the notes and translated into Spanish keeping the commands in the English language. FME Server is in local mode, on a Windows Pro machine with 16 Gby. of RAM. Can you help me with any information that I may be missing? Sorry if my English is not very good.

FME Unreal Engine and new generations gaming consoles

HI !If you haven't heard, the next generation of consoles, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Sony’s PlayStation 5, will support Unreal Engine platform.

Determining if our FME Server license will host FME Server 2020.

Howdy, We're looking to upgrade our instances of FME Server. Our licensing uses the new model (web page portal, not FlexLM). The page has the serial # for the FME Server license but doesn't denote for what versions it will host. How do we determine this? Thank-You, Laramie

Is it possible to control where the Server App download service will download files?

I'm setting up a server app that will allow users to download a CAD file (the app will run a process that converts GIS data to CAD and will produce a .dwg). I'd like to be able to have the download go to the users Windows default downloads folder, or have the user specify where they want the file to go and what they want to name the file. Surprisingly I haven't been able to find much help that is applicable to what I'm looking to do.

FME Server App not accessible

Hi,I created my first ever FME Server app yesterday and when I ran it the first few times, everything was fine.However, for an un-related reason, I changed the permissions (I added a new role with 'Can Run' permissions) to the repository that the workspace which is used in the FME Server App, is sitting in, and then following this the app no longer works. When I go to the app URL now I get a message saying ' Repository "XXX" doesn't exist or you do not have permission to Read or Run from it '.I don't understand why I am getting this message as the repository definitely still exists and I actually added more permissions to it rather than removing permissions.Anyone experienced this before?I am using FME Server 2019.1Thanks

Order of features in automations

Hi,I am trying to understand the behavior of features etc. in 2020 Automations, primarily the processing order. Below is a quick example of a test I made and it appears that when features come out and trigger an external action, they are processed in parallel (btw, I really miss the debugging features of Workbench where I can see the features move across and preview the data!). Is this observation correct? In my example, "a" was supposed to happen and finish before "b", "c", and "d" are performed. If I made the HTTP call within a workspace, this issue would not happen since it's all serial: features are processed in the order they arrive at each transformer (for the most part).I'm not finding a lot of documentation for creating complex automations where you can control what gets processed based on a previous result, limited looping (ex: allow only 20 loops to prevent endless looping) etc. Looping, which can be done within a custom transfo

New Queue/Engine: Workspace remains "queued" and never runs

We recently added an FME Server engine to run on a machine (#2) separate from our existing FME Server (#1), in order to be able to run some workspaces closer to the data source they read to and write from.After installing FME Server on the new machine (#2) and "registering" that engine with machine #1, I am able to see it listed under "Engines & Licensing" in the admin console on machine #1. So far so good.Next, I created a new queue and a new respository for workspaces I would like to run on the new engine. Next, when I publish a workbench to that repo and try to run it, it will show up as 'Queued' but never execute. It will just stay in "Queued" mode.What am I missing?

Is there a way to pass dates to workspace parameters in automations?

I have an automation where dates are created in workspace 1 and passed to workspace 2. I already had published parameters formatted as dates in workspace 2. However, I can't see an option to use the dates from workspace 1 as keys, I only get a calendar selection. It works fine with strings, is there a way to do it with parameters which are dates?

server call custom coordinate

I have defined the corresponding coordinate system in the server (FME \\ Reproject \\ MyCoordSysDefs LocalCoordSysDefs), which is normal in FME Desktop, and the corresponding coordinate system cannot be found in the server.

FME Server directory watch: the workspace triew to run for every file copied to the directory even though all the files were removed the first time the workspace ran.

I have FME Server setup to watch a directory where JPGs are dropped by users. When the watcher detects a JPG it runs a workspace that moves all files found to a different folder (post process). FME Server seems to be trying to run the workspace over and over again even though the files were removed by the first run. All attempts after the first fail and another instance is added to the cue. I'm not sure what the cause is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FME Server vulnerabilities found by Outscan24

Hi FME gurus, My IT department scanned through our FME Server IP and found some (high) vulnerabilities. The security officer asks me to upgrade from current version to the desired versions for several components:component versionApache Tomcat9.0.24 -> 9.0.31Angular.js->1.7.9. or higherjQuery->3.4.1.Yepnope.jsEnd of life -> …Bootstrap3.3.7 -> 4.3.1FYI: I upgraded three weeks ago to FME Server 2020.0.0.1-Build 20202 - win64 with an express installation on the same virtual machine. Is the choice for the current versions substantiated? Is there an easy way on the FME Server Virtual Machine to upgrade these versions with few lines of code through CMD? Kind regards, Jan

Download URLfrom server app

So, I've created an server app that sometimes posts very large datasets and have so far been able to restrict access to the data by just emailing the dataset back as an attachment (user email as parameter)(its not super safe, but safe enough - the data isn't super sensitive but sensitive enough). I've thus been able to restrict the data to the person running the server app by letting the person enter their email and get the data back that way. But now the datasets is growing kinda fast and the email client isn't putting up with 20-50 megabytes of attachments. So I read that it was possible to get the server app to respond with the download link (again not super safe, but safe enough). So: how do I do that? What parameter carries the data download link from server apps? Or, it doesn't work that way? (in wich case I'd have to do a workaround, and nobody likes workarounds :-) Been searching and trying for several hours without luck. Tried the ServerNotifier and the
