FME Flow

I would like to take a number of dwg files from one location, change the coordinate system, and save them to another location with a suffix i.e. '_newfile'.I have the code for the coordinate conversion, but am having trouble with the bulk input and output with the suffx- any help with code would be much appreciated, thanks!

Is it possible ​to use autocomplete in fmecloud?

I have a dataset which came with duplicates in what I need to be a join column (PID) therefore unique.  How can I filter and remove the duplicate rows based on some rules. In this case I want to keep the consolidated value (NE,NW) in the qtr column and remove the other two rows with the common PID of 176182. (Shown above and below the row I wish to keep.) 

I have FME Server trigger event late at night and it will automatically email with the report right after the workspace has completed. Is there anyway to delay the email to send in early morning instead even though workspace still ran at night? Thank you!

This seems like an obvious question, I have a published workspace with a user parameter on FME server 2019. I would like my user to be able to access a url where they could enter the paramater P=1234 (a data attribute search). I am not sure if I can do so without 2020. Unfortunately we are limited by our organization managing FME server for us and they haven't upgraded yet. I assume there is no possible way in 2019, but I am throwing the question out there.

Hi,Just upgraded my Server installation to 2021.0.1. All my automations fail. I figured out that it is likely due to having to drop the database and then recreate after the installation. So now I am in the process of republishing my scripts. It's tedious, but not necessarily a bad thing as I can - 1. not publish scripts that are no longer needed, 2. can upgrade to the 2021.0.1 version of the Desktop as well. However, I would like to know - 1. should the fmeserver database be dropped during an upgrade (I thought that I had read that it should be)? and 2. could the backup of the database be restored after the installation of the upgrade and then all of your scripts (as referenced in the configuration backup) would still run as set up on the automations?I have a second FME Server to upgrade and will do differently if possible.Thanks,Lorinda

Core OS is running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. NFS mount point has been verified accessible from FME server to NAS. Thanks in advance!

I have a workspace published to FME Server. That workspace is used in a server app. I would like to define the Running Job Expiry Time as a default of 5 minutes any time that the workspace runs. I can go into the workspace on FME server, and adjust the time to 5 minutes and run it. However, that setting doesn't save. There are no settings in the app either to set the maximum time the workspace should run before it aborts. Am I missing something? Is this not built in to FME Server? I know it can be set in Automations, but, how can I set it for an App? Or even save it for the workspace as a default? I'm using FME Server 2020.0.0.

Hi, I have made my first server app, where the user has to choose a parameter from a choice tree. When looking at the choice tree in the app, the original sorting (0, 1, 2...) is gone and a new value FME.DELIM is shown. Can I do something to change this or is it a missing feature in the app?

We have configured a regular scheduled (every 15 mins) job in FME Server (2019.1) and understand how to notify to a topic on failure and then send an email. However, ideally we would like to generate a single email only after a number of failures and not an email for every single failure. Does anyone know of a way to do this in FME Server?Perhaps it might be possible with automations to record details of previous failures and then only send an email after N failures?  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hello all. I'm new to FME Server Automations and I'm wondering about the Filter Action "Contains String" syntax. I want to filter on the Job Status Output text from the previous workspace run, and I'm wondering if you can add more than one text string to search for. I've tried a few ways and can't seem to find documentation specifically on this. I have it working searching for one specific string which needs no formatting at all, simply entering "FME_BEGIN_PYTHON script returned error on execution" filters correctly. Any info or assistance would be appreciated!I'm working with FME Server 2019.1.3.1.Thanks!

I will make a backup from my current Windows machine, Will it be possible to restore it on that machine? Thanks.

once i stoped an automation and again i want to start is its giving error "Unable to enable xxxxxx There was an issue with component "Workspace". Subscription e39f275f-b7d6-4006-89a9-bec0b5e5d8d7-b9c6a63a-bc2d-2914-9906-35915d3c392d already exists.

What I need is an easy example of how to publish a single workspace to the server in a Python script.

We have an FME Server automation configured for IMAP to read unread emails as they arrive. This is set to polling every 1 minute. The issue we are encountering, is that emails that arrive from a 3rd party server do not have the attachments in FME Server, however, i see the attachments to the emails in outlook and OWA. If i forward the email with the attachment to email inbox FME Server is monitoring, then it does pickup the attachment. Could it be FME server is processing the email before exchange has downloaded the attachment? thanks,Raviteja

Hi, I have two published workspaces that I want to delete - changes made and name of workspace changed. Don't want to confuse anyone down the road that may be needing to update the server automations. I haven't found any place to remove published workspaces. Any pointers? Right now, at 2019.1; will be upgrading to 2021.0.1 very soon.Thanks!Lorinda

UID and GID in FME Server engine docker is having 1363 and 1363 values. I would like to change it to 3001 and 3001 (I have servers with such ids prepared).I have tried to set up environment variables as it is done in FME Server Core docker image:            - name: FMESERVER_UID              value: '3001'            - name: FMESERVER_GID              value: '3001' But it's not working. Do you have any clues or ideas?  Thank you!

How to check license expiry date ? any method by command prompt or from UI ? How to check is floating license or normal ?  what is procedure to check for floating license expiryVersion 2016

Not sure if it is possible but feel I can't be the only person with this question. I have a standard FME Pro install with 8 worker license. Is it possible to reserve a couple of licenses so they will always be available for certain workflows that run as a cron jobs? I basically don't want my cron tasks getting held up because other users run processes that occupy all 8 workers. 

When I receive emailed server error notifications they are formatted like Job 334: http://SERVERNAME:443/fmeserver/#/job/334/summary rather than the proper SSL and fully qualified configuration. Once I change the URL to Job 334: http://SERVERNAME.FQDN.com:443/fmeserver/#/job/334/summary it resolves properly and I can access the log. My question is, where do I change this setting permanently? All of the URL's in System configuration are set correctly. Is it a configuration file setting? If so, can someone point me to the correct file to modify?

We are migrating from FME Desktop 2014 (32-bit) and FME Server 2015 (32-bit) to FME 2020.We have our old sworldswaf.dll and sworldswaf.fmf files for Smallworld 4.3 and know we should simply copy those files into FME 2020 directories as in our FME 2014/2015. Now the question is whether we should stick to FME 32-bit or we can go and install FME 64-bit (or FME Destkop 32-bit and Server 64-bit with 64-bit engines) and keep using our old GE Smallworld files without problems.I read the documentation here but want to make sure we can't install 64-bit version of FME Server.

Hey,  We have an external application at https://service.externalapp.co.nz/map/appname This app, using the fmedatastreaming service calls a workbench on our FME Server at https://fme.externalapp.co.nz/fmedatastreaming/repo/workbench.fmw I'm wondering whether FME Server can capture the request URL of our external application and pass that through to the workbench. I've had a look at the FME_SERVER_REQUEST_HEADERS, FME_SERVER_REQUEST_PARAMETERS and FME_SERVER_REQUEST_URI parameters and none of them include it. Any one have any ideas?
