FME Flow

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.

Hello,this is the log from FME server. The reader is a known source that works without any problems in other workspaces, that is why I find this part of the log strange:" contains invalid reader keyword '{{*}}'. " The workspace works locally but not on FME server (serverapp with geometry picker).

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?

Is it possible to launch an Engine pod on a different cluster and register it in the core service deployed on other cluster? I want to have 2 engines, but located on different clusters.

That message appears when i try to configure the System Email, create a Backup or restore one

Greetings, Once in a while, our workbench using the "dataupload" service seems to return an error 500. We do not see any logs related to disk space, nor should it as it is only using ~20% of the available space. The following log is shown in the logs of "Resources -> Logs -> service -> current -> fmeserverweb_dataupload.log": Fri-12-Feb-2021 07:55:46.873 AM   INFORM   http-nio-8080-exec-22   419011 : Creating new request object: path level = "1", requested path = "", session ID = "f257b28e-bdd2-49df-84eb-007d69dabc5e", uploaded files = [], workspace path = "/<repository>/<wb_name>.fmw", retrieve absolute paths = "true", extract files = "false"java.io.IOException: Unable to create directory: /data/fmeserverdata/resources/system/temp/upload/<repository>/<wb_name>.fmw/f257b28e-bdd2-49df-84eb-007d69dabc5e at COM.safe.web.upload.StoreManager.setup(StoreManager.java:232) at COM.safe.web.upload.StoreManager.<init>(StoreManager.java:226) at COM.safe.we

I have a set of data which contains an attribute name (header/title) which I have to use an an attribute value for a new attribute. At the moment, I am using attribute creator to create a new attribute and then attribute manager to add this to existing data. However I am unable to set the new attribute value as one of the attribute name of existing data (which I read in using reader transformer). Any help will be highly appreciated.

Has anyone configured an FME trigger webhook as an outgoing webhook in Teams? It'd be very nice to just @ an automation without leaving Teams. I've got an automation triggered by a webhook that can be triggered no problem using curl, but trying to use that webhook in Teams gets an immediate failure ("Sorry, there was a problem encountered with your request"). It looks like Teams may be expecting a particular response (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45743782/custom-bot-always-replies-with-an-error) and I'm not sure whether FME provides that / how to troubleshoot from here.

I want to remove the FILECOPY_1 path from the data download zip file from FME Server when using the filecopy writer, and can't figure out why it isn't being removed. When I enable the Data Download service on FME Server when publishing, I make sure to set the Path in the Zip File to empty, but I still receive the data download file in the structure listed below. Current Download File FormatFME_3637254D_1587574658508_152.zip\\FILECOPY_1\\examplefile.txtFormat I Want to ReceiveFME_3637254D_1587574658508_152.zip\\examplefile.txtAny ideas as to what I can do to remove the "FILECOPY_1" from the download zip from FME Server?  Below is an image showing how I have it setup for FME Server.  FME Server 2020.0.0.1

The same problem occurs when starting a workspace. When using VPN, it can take 1-2 minutes just to start the workspace. Without VPN, it´s instantaneous. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I use Windows 10, 64 bit, FME 2020.0 using SCCM, fixed license.

FME server documentation states:Note: Each IMAP Publisher created on FME Server must reference a unique email account. You cannot create multiple IMAP Publishers that reference the same address.However, I have done some testing with this and I have created more than one publisher with the same IMAP email. Bother publishers work. Am I missing something? Is there going to be a future error or fault? Where is the conflict with this? Thanks.

I am trying to setup a web connection under Tools -> Manage Service -> and I don't have Esri ArcGIS Portal(template) available. Is there a file I can import or resource to build it for Enterprise Portal?  Version of desktop: FME(R) 2018.0.1.0 (20180518 - Build 18310 - WIN64)

I'm trying to fix our Google Sheets connection in FME Server after a restore but can't get the redirect URI set correctly. It's currently set to http://127.0.0.1:8080/fmeoauth. The Google authorization goes all the way to the "Allow" button before I get a "This page isn't working (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)" error. I've tried different URI strings, including http://127.0.0.1:8080/fmeserver/fmeoauth, but get the same error. When replacing 127.0.0.1 with localhost, or the hostname, the Google auth goes nowhere. This is a private FME Server instance that is firewalled and has no public access. What else can I try?

Hello, I've made a workbench that downloads data to Shape automatically once per month from https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/hwh/eenheden/wms/v1_0?request=getcapabilities&service=wms (WMS).  This time I would like to make a workbench that compares the geometry and administrative data from the Shape files with each other (January-February, February-March and so on). I am thinking about doing this with the ChangeDetector transformer, but that's where my idea stops. Could anyone give me advice on this?  Many thanks,Claire

Hi, I've build an automation in the FME Server with Trigger type: Schedule initiated and Schedule type: Repeat on interval for 1 minutes (for testing purpose) and it works perfectly . However when I stop the automation and set the interval for 1 day at 7.00am, the automation is not working after I checked again the service the other day.   Any idea on how can I resolve the issue?

While following the tutorial of https://community.safe.com/s/article/tutorial-custom-data-delivery-using-fme-server and creating an App Server with the "austinDownload.fmw", I notice the download link is wrong: "https://dev.fme.geosmartdesign.com:443/fmedatadownload/results/FME_11246665_1617281097879_2096.zip" alt="https://https://https://<redacted>:443/fmedatadownload/results/<FME_uuid>.zip".  Notice the double "https" definition.

It seems FME Server 2021 is still having problems with SSO as described in "Known Issue: FME Server SSO failed login due to insufficient credentials" Is this known and is SAFE working on the issue? Or are there other solutions/workarounds?  

I'm submitting jobs using FME API (v2): /transformations/commands/submit/< repository >/< workspace > The model writes output results to JSON file. Is it a way to get contents of the result JSON file through API request? Using this with no luck (visible log details only):/transformations/jobs/id/< jobid >/result
