Migrating workspaces from server 2016 to 2019.

As I never have migrated FME server before, I'm not sure what to expect / what the best practice is. I have mainly standalone workspaces in server 2016 which are started via the API from an external application. I studied the "Migrating From REST API V2" documentation and understand the changes.What is the correct way to migrate the workspaces? Download them using desktop 2016 and upload them using 2019? I understand there are no guarantees and will check outputs but should this work in general? Or is this a real no go.For desktop workspace migrations I copy - paste all transformers in a new workspace and then upgrade them individually, or just rebuild the entire workspace. But I would not prefer to do that for all server workspaces if not needed.

Bought a new computer and are trying to install my FME again.When I use the original installationfile (fme-desktop-2013-SP2-win-x86.msi) the computer says that the administrator has blocked the installation and I should contact him/her but I am the only one using my computer?How can I get around that, I have win 10 pro 64-bit

Not able to create a new Database Connection on FME Server

Hello,I have just finished to install FME Server (build 19 617).(Installation with our own Oracle db).I can connect to the Web interface, launch workspaces, build automations, create new user, publish workspace, etc. BUT I CANNOT create a new Database Connection (Oracle or geodatabase, etc.). When I tried I get this message : The rest api "/fmerest/v3/namedconnections/connections" get a code 500 in response. I also tried to publish a workspace with a database connection but I get this message : Database connections access failed - FME Server encountered an error and reported the following message.929028:SQL Query SELECT NCID FROM fme_nc_namedconnections WHERE connectionname = ?

ERROR - throwing a duplicate user key error when trying to create a new account in FME Server

FME Server throws this error when I try to create a new user account: Error: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "fme_useraccount_pkey" Detail: Key (useraccount_id)=(#) already exists. where "#" increments after every attempt. It seems to be getting hung up on this user account id every time I try to create a new user. There is no such user already created. Background: we recently migrated FME Server to a new hosting environment and the issue only appeared after the migration. version: FME Server 2016.1.2.1 - Build 16674 - win64Any idea what could be going wrong here?

FME Server APP job summary

I have created a bunch of FME server Apps (FME 2019), and they're highly appreciated. Easy to use and to understand. When used with the right input data it's just fenomenal.However, when something goes wrong (usually faulty indata) there isn't much information about what went wrong. It just says FAILURE. In cases that yielded zero output features. It just says COMPLETED (and does not present the results because there are none).Is it possible (of course it is) to get somewhat a somewhat more verbose response? How do I do it? Is it a notification service? Where do I start? I am at a complete loss. (It was 2 years ago I went to the FME server course and the memory seems to be of non stick material)I just want the server app to respond with something at the app running page. Please save me!

System Caller Special characters on FME Server

I have I directory watch on FME Server that triggers a workspace to move a file that inserts into the directory watch-folder, to the FME-server with a SystemCaller transformer.It works fine when using a file that dosen´t cointain any special characters, however when I have a file with å, ä or ö the SystemCaller fails according to the log-file. In the log file, a file that spells "åäö.pdf" have the name "åäö.pdf" in the log file.However the path to the file also contain å, ä and ö, but spells correctly in the logfile. I´ve tried and wright the filename-attribute that generates from the JSONFlattener to a txt-file from the same workspace, and it also spells correctly.I´ve tried to add "@echo off && chcp 1252 &&" infront och the copy-command in the SystemCaller, but it dosen´t seem to work for the filename. So what must be the problem is that when the SystemCaller runs on FME Server and try to find "åäö.pdf" it can´t find it. S

Trigger emails from a list of senders

Is there any way to configure automations or publications such that a workspace can be triggered via email from one of several senders? Both publications and automations can filter by email subject, and the Filter action in automations can then filter emails based on one sender, but there appears to be no way to filter based on a list of senders ("from either Person A or Person B"). Is this in fact the case?Details, if they help: we'd like to enable a certain work group of five people to be able to trigger a specific workspace via email. While they can and will also use a specific subject line, I'd like to be able to ensure that no one outside the work group can trigger that same workspace even if they know the "key" subject line.Is there a way to achieve this, short of using five separate Filter actions per automation? Which appears work, but isn't very elegant, and will get hard to maintain as/if a given work group develops more workspaces. It also doe

Sending processed subscriber_content from topic into email (Server)

I am using a Survey123 survey to trigger a topic on server when a new survey submission is received. The topic, in turn, triggers a workspace which takes in the subscriber_content (containing the survey submission content) and parses it out via some JSON extractors to grab specific survey fields and process them a particular way. What I want is for the same topic to trigger an email in server, sending along the processed subscriber_content. Currently, I am not able to use an emailer inside the workspace to do this -- needs to be a part of the automation itself. How can I make this happen?Example/detail: The workspace processes the subscriber_content to extract attributes of buildingID, floorName, and roomName. I want the automation to also send an email containing the buildingID, floorName, and roomName in a readable format -- ie, not the raw JSON subscriber_content

Saving emails to file system

Hi everbody, Following this tutorial I've set up everything in FME Server to receive and process certain emails, and everthing works really fine. The only missing detail is to save the received and processed email to the file system (*.msg preferred). Is there any possibility to do this? By the way, I have to use IMAP, and for the next few days (or weeks?) we'll still be using FME 2017.1 before updating to FME 2019.1Any hint is appreciated ;-)

Unable to select file within zip in FME 2018

Here is the screenshot from FME Server 2015:We lost this functionality in FME server 2018, so we cannot specify the .gdb file as a second parameter in the workspace: Do you have any fixes regarding this issue with being able to select files within the uploaded zip file? This workspace is used by external users, so we try to minimize the impact as much as possible.For your information, two parameters we are looking for are, an excel file which is configured as 'File(existing)" and second is a gdb, specified as 'Folder(existing)'.

FMEServerJobSubmitter - Sub Processes Running on 32-bit Queue are Executed with a 64-bit Engine

My FME Server environment has one engine that is 32-bit. The others are 64. I have a workspace configured to run under a queue (Engine 3) that is 32-bit, and consists of FMEServerJobSubmitter transformers, launching workspaces that are required to run as 32-bit, due to format limitations. The FMEServerJobSubmitters are configured with the following parameters:Submit Jobs: In SequenceWait for Jobs to Complete: YesSub-processes are being generated and run under Engine 3, however, while the parent workspace runs as 32-bit, the child processes run (and fail) as 64-bit. This is apparent in the log files based on where the FME_HOME parameter is pointing to. Is there any way to have the sub-processes run as 32-bit, preferably with the same engine? Note:I need to perform further processing once all the child processes have completed, so I am open to other suggestions to notify another application that this has occurred

Hi Team,I used fmeservernotifier transformerMy content of the email looks something like this... region1 : 100 featuresregion2 : 200 featuresregion3 : 300 features All the features counts are in attributes. And email should be formatted like above.if all text strings are in one row/line it comes out good. But I need multi line texts.I mean each line shows region and its count. But when I pass this to "subscriber_content", error happens and all my email subject line and content becomes bla bla....if it is simple one line text string, then it comes out good. And if i try to insert newline char[\\n] like below...(region 1 : @Value(count1) \\n region 2 : @Value(count2) \\n region 3 : @Value(count3) \\n ) My email structure collapses. How can I achieve multi line text email message. Thanks  below string copied from fme knowledge base....{"email_to": "recipient@example.com","email_cc": "","email_from": "sender@example.com&quo
