FME Flow

Hi! Some schedules do not run on our fme server because users who last edited them have been removed / do not exist anymore. How can I query / see which user last edited given schedule? Or if this is not possible how to get the list of schedules that do not run?

Hi everyone,Currently, we are having an issue with the AAD - Azure Active directory. So we can only get access to our FME servers through our server machines. It will throw this error if we try to get access through web services from local machines: We have already had a workplace where we use HTTP Caller, GET FME Rest API to do the health check. I'd like to know how to monitor this issue too and basically, the process would send us error codes and messages when this or similar errors happen.  Thank you very much!

I am trying to update an ArcOnline layer using another SDE layer. Is this possible to do live using the ArcGISOnlineConnector or would that require downloading of the SDE to update the layer.

I have two tables, they have the unique ID to compare with each other. There is another column called year in both tables. I am hoping to find records in table2 with the same ID in table1 and then compare the 'year' attribute, only keep the latest one. Which transformer should I use? The feature joiner can find all records in table 2, but it can't dynamically decide which one to keep.  

I am using system caller in child workbench which trigger 3rd party service using command line and start the process e.g. abc.exe in windows. Sometimes process get stuck at their server and I am not able to get the status of the same, hence child workbench continue until any response gets from System caller. Is there any solution to kill the 3rd party process using windows process name or ID if its taking more than a particular time e.g. 1 hr?Note: I am using FME Desktop with concurrent process of 3 jobs, so it should kill only the process which are not getting finished within 1 hr.Can anyone help me on this?

Have two automations happening where one downloads files off an Azure Blob storage. The other is actively listening to the folder where the first automation downloads files too to trigger a workspace. My problem is that for some reason AzureBlobStorageConnector sometimes downloads files as 0kb. Is that cause it's trying to download files that haven't fully uploaded to that Azure Blob Storage? I.e the same thing that happens when you download something off the internet and it goes to the download folder as a temp file - until it downloads fully. CheersDan

I was wondering if the FME Server adopts the settings of your workbench or workspace when it comes to logging (Tools -> FME Options -> Translation -> Log message filter) or does FME Server have an own setting for this? I know there is a workspace parameter -> Logging with a few settings (max Features to log, max logged features to record and log file) that is workspace specific. I'm asking this because i'm making a final package for release and one of the steps in the release guide for this customer is "In FME desktop, set the logging of the FME workspaces to only 'WARNING' and 'BUGS'." what i think would be a unnecessary step to perform, cause i dont think this would have any effect on the server. Or i'm i mistaken?  

I want to terminate child workbench automatically if its taking more than the expected time (e.g. 30 min). Also it should be treated as successful translation in the workspace runner so that next job in queue can start concurrently. Is there any solution?

Can you use LDAP/Active Directory Reader (Technology Preview) to update active directory? If not, what does FME offer to provide this functionality? Thanks

I have a workbench on FME server I need to start running by calling URL through an external script. (In my case a poweshell script.) I can create all the parameters necessary to run workbench, but I need to specify which Queue or FME Server this workbench will be run on.  I have created a Job Queue with the FME Server I want to run on. When running this in browser I can use the Advanced option and select the Job Queue. This will then run where I need it to run. But I can't see a how to get this to happen when submitting through API/external script.

I was using Httpcaller for an automation but I could not get it to work. The URL to the service I wanted to use worked fine in the browser but when my automation ran, it resulted in an error from the service saying "invalid URL". It turned out that my URL contained spaces that was encoded as %20 wich the Httpcaller encoded in turn to %2520. Replacing %20 with a space in the Httpcaller solved the problem. Is this desired behaviour? I'd excpect the Httpcaller to understand not to encode an URL that is already encoded.

Do I need to refresh the "Run Workspace" action in an Automation on FME Server when I make an expression change in an Attribute Manager in the workspace? I've published the updated workspace to FME Server already. Will the Automation run the newest version of the workspace? Or do I need to make it "see" the change somehow?

We are scripting our installation of FME server 2020 and need to run API calls after installation. To do this we need a token but how do we create the token using python code, without creating it manually in the web interface? The FME server playground documentation references the "fmetokens" service but this has been deprecated. The API v3 documentation does not cover this topic that I can find. Unable to get any assistance on this from safe support, looking for suggestions. Thanks

I have built a simple Automation that is set up to read in email attachments, process them in workspace 1, and then move the attachment files to another folder location in workspace 2. The trigger is an IMAP trigger, which polls every 10 min. This means that sometimes, there are two or more emails waiting to be processed when the email is polled. When this happens I would like email 1 files to be processed through both workspace 1 and 2, before moving on to email 2, but I am having trouble setting this up. Currently, my job logs show:Workspace 1Workspace 1Workspace 2Workspace 2But I would like them to process in a different order so the job logs would look like this:Workspace 1Workspace 2Workspace 1Workspace 2I had a similar Automation set up and working this way in version 2018.1, but I haven't been able to replicate it in 2020.2. Did something change between these two versions? Or am I just missing something simple?

Can FME connect/read the database files of the 4D system? (extensions like: .4DD, .4DB)

Hi friends, how to add the display of my data to the map (for example, the outline of houses or some zones) when activating the window for selecting an area to FME Server.

I'm trying to learn how to leverage FME Server with web services and have a couple of questions. Been following a few tutorials and built a workbench that:Reads a JSON file using TextLineReader Massages the dataWrites data to databaseNow I would like to publish this as web service... basically I'd like to be able to send JSON to an FME URL and let server pick it up there. I know you it's possible to run a workbench from a URL. But every tutorial I've tried to follow to do this has led me nowhere. I always end up unable to publish to Data Streaming service because there "Nothing To Select".Would appreciate any guidance as to what tutorial might work for me. In the meantime, I will dig into the documentation here:https://s3.amazonaws.com/gitbook/Server-REST-API-2019/index.html 

I have a time series data historian that I have established an ODBC connection to successfully. I can pull tables in and have filtered the data by time to reduce the records while I am testing. The table I am attempting to bring has a field called _index. I am not sure why they used a reserved word, much less started a column name with an underscore. It is causing FME to choke every time, understandably so. Is it possible to remove or have FME ignore that field and bring the rest of the data into workbench?

I have a copy of FME Server for Linux. After looking at the documentation, can I integrate Windows Active Directory/LDAP from a Windows Domain Controller? I didn't see any RHEL 7 'linux' based configurations in the guide...

ProblemThe problems are caused by the underlying functionality of how FME Core downloads the email attachment and with the default FME Server Cleanup setup One of the functionalities that will be broken with this, is, for example, Backing up the FME Server. Resulting in a `COM.safe.fmeserver.configuration.migration.FMEConfigurationException: java.io.FileNotFoundException:` for the attachment. This is reproduced with the following steps:Create an Automation Trigger of an email (SMTP)Define a custom "Download Attachments To (optional)" path. Preferable something that is not covered by the default FME Cleanup, like`$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/custom/mail/received/`Make sure this is triggered and the attachment is downloaded to the locationNotice that the FME Server seem to create symlinks in `$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/custom/mail/received/` which are linking to the default mail attachment resource `$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_SYSTEM)temp/emailattachments`Wait for the default "Dele

I have 3 layers of data, lines, points and labels setup in feature writer, runs fine on my desktop but will not write the points on fme server

Hi all,I have an FME Server automation that runs a number of workspaces one at a time. In the first workspace I want to apply some kind of action depending on whether there are any features on a certain transformer output port. For example, I can place a NoFeaturesTester on this port, and:If it reports no features, I would like to inform the user in some way and continue with the remaining automationIf it reports that there are features, then I would like to send the user a list of these features (via email perhaps), and also look to pause or terminate the Automation.Can anyone advise a sensible way of doing this?Thanks,RB     

I have a scheduled job set up on FME Server (2020.0.1. Build 20218) that had been working fine for over a month. Then all of a sudden it stopped earlier this week. The workspace can be run on its on in FME Server without issue.  I reviewed the "fmescheduler.log" and found this: Fri-12-Feb-2021 11:42:23.525 AM  INFORM  QuartzScheduler_FMEServerQuartzScheduler-SERVERNAMEHERE51612808703694_MisfireHandler  406432 : Trigger misfired (Category: FME Name: FME_RunStatsForDashboards).Fri-12-Feb-2021 11:46:23.530 AM  INFORM  QuartzScheduler_FMEServerQuartzScheduler-SERVERNAMEHERE1612808703694_MisfireHandler  406432 : Trigger misfired (Category: COM.safe.fmeserver.CleanupManager Name: CleanupDoResourceCheck). After deleting and rebuilding the scheduled job, it continued to fail. I republished the workspace, deleted the scheduled job and still nothing. I then restarted the FME Server Services. After the restart, I am seeing this new error in the log:406401 : Internal scheduler error &quo

Houston,We have a problem with the File Geodatabase writer that requires ArcGIS (not the API version). It performs differently in different virtual environments (Citrix) with different FME versions, on the same File Geodatabase. We suspect that the differences in the virtual environments are the cause of this, because the desired functionality is offered in all FME versions. We'd like to know which parts of the ArcGIS Desktop installation are used by FME, when writing to a File Geodatabase, in order to get to the bottom of the issue.  The details of the situation are as follows. As mentioned, we have two different virtual environments:A production environment with FME 2019 32-bits served in a "bubble". This is combined with ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1, in a direct install (no bubble).A testing environment with FME 2019 64-bits and ArcGIS Desktop deployed the same way as the production environment In the production environment, the File Geodatabase writer does not work* when th
