FME Flow

Hello,I’ve recently turned on Version Control a few days ago and just got around to setting up a Remote Repository (GitHub), I’ve just ‘pushed to remote’ for the first time, and I’ve noticed there are only 3 items on my GitHub repo, while I have 100+ workbenches uploaded.I assume this has just uploaded items which have changed since I turned on Verion Control a few days ago. I was hoping enabling remote repo would push all of my workbenches to github. What is the best way to proceed? I want to get all of the items uploaded to my github repo, not just changes, so I have a backup of all of the items on Flow.Thanks.

We had setup a FME Flow 2025.1 HA environment with 2 AWS Windows Servers and FSx shared folder as system share directory.We can publish the workbench to FME Flow as workspace and submit it without issue. And we could confirm the published workspace under FSx shared repositories folder.We can upload the python script to FME Flow resource folder and it could be called by the System Caller successfully. And we could confirm the uploaded python script file under FSx shared resources folder.We can upload the SDE file to FME Flow resource folder and we could confirm the SDE file under FSx shared resources/data folder. But when we call it from the workspace, it had following error message:An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file '\\fs-011axxxxxxxxxx.fsx.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\fsx\FMEFlow2025\Resources\data\SDE\DEV_SDE\CORP_DEV.sde'When we copied t

Hi all,Could you please share your experience on what types of AWS EC2 instances you use for FME Flow and FME Form. I wonder if the M5 instance type is recommended since it is used for FME Flow Hosted. We mostly use “t3.large”.I understand that the choice depends on server load etc., but I would like to know the best practices.Thanks!

I have integrated Active Directory with FME Flow by linking the security group, but the usernames still do not appear under User Management > Users. Do I need to add the users manually, or should they be synced automatically from the AD group?

Is there any way to display the job id when a workspace fails when it is executed through a FME Server app ? Currently when a FME server app fails, it just displays a Failure message. I know I can probably do an automation and send an email with that info somehow, but it would nice to just have the job id displayed with the Failure message.

Hi, Looking to call a PowerShell script that will need to be run as a different user to the service account that runs the FME Flow service.FME Flow is a shared server and these credentials need to be secure from other users scheduling flows.I could use an encrypted xml file for the credentials, but then all who use the server would have access via the FME Flow service account. Putting the password in the workspace as a password, I still see it in plain text.While these work and I can make the exposure risk lower, still don’t seem ideal,What are my other options?

Does anyone know how to create an app to allow external users to upload ANY TYPE of data to a specific place :) ?Can be on flow or on our computer :)I can only find solutions for data of certain type or to be an input into an pre existing file.

Is there a way to import the schema you’ve set up for an endpoint into your workspace? As I understand it, right now (build 25572) the schema that you define in Flow is only used to generate the documentation and you can copy and paste from there of course, but that still feels a bit unpolished.

Hi, It must be stunningly simple however we miss the clue, but we're trying to get FME Server to accept Single Sign-On logins. We connected to Active Directory, that seems to work nice since we can use a user and password from the domain and log in, that's a success. Mon-13-Nov-2017 04:20:33.924 PM  INFORM  RequestHandler-Thread  401831 : Accepted new client connection from /127.0.0.1 on port 7,071Mon-13-Nov-2017 04:20:33.926 PM  INFORM  RequestHandler-Thread  401933 : Successful login by user XX99999However, when we press the Use Windows Credentials the login is denied and fmeserver.log shows this error message:Mon-13-Nov-2017 04:23:22.734 PM  INFORM  RequestHandler-Thread  401831 : Accepted new client connection from /127.0.0.1 on port 7,071Mon-13-Nov-2017 04:23:22.770 PM  INFORM  RequestHandler-Thread  408043 : (Single Sign-On)  Enabled single sign-on authentication.Mon-13-Nov-2017 04:

Is there any way possible to send an HTTP Response after receiving a webhook trigger in FME Flow Hosted Automations? I am attempting to set up an automation that runs in response to webhooks coming from Monday.com, however before I can start configuring the actual webhooks, monday.com requires verification that I have control of the endpoint. I need to do this by having the platform send a JSON challenge to the endpoint URL, which must then be responded to with an identical JSON POST body. I believe it must also be returned with a status of 200. Documentation on setting up monday.com webhooks here. I have tried to accomplish this by adding a workspace after the webhook trigger to pull the IP address that the challenge request was sent from from the HTTP headers, an

I want a workspace to run on FME Flow at 11pm with a user initiating it at some point within the working day.Currently thinking of having the workspace run within an automation, which is scheduled to run daily at 11pm. User would enable the automation, workspace would run at 11pm and then trigger a second workspace which makes a http call to stop the automation. So the workspace is only run once and won’t run again until the process is repeated.Any ideas of a better way to do this?

I have an email in Outlook (Exchange) and hope that it is possible to read the emails with FME Desktop. Does anyone now how to do that?Regards,Morten Friis

Hi, I have observed when the workspace is executed through the FME Form, the log file is generated into the folder path mentioned under the Logging>Log File parameter.  However when the same workspace is published on FME flow and executed through the workspace app, it does not generate the log file in the folder path. The user can only download it through the FME flow under jobs

Has anyone performed an installation of FME Flow 2025.1 and chosen to configure HTTPS during installation?Anything to watch out for?

I have been provided some .raml files, but unclear how I interrogate; can anyone advise? 

While trying to create a workspace app , I find ‘Service’ dropdown to be empty (pic2). However, I see ‘Job Submitter’ as service in the published workspace (pic1). May be I am missing something as we just started using FME products. Thanks for your review and input.

Hello all, When creating a Data Downloader service, the workspace is required to have a writer (the output of the writer is offered to the user in a .zip-file). However, I need to retrieve pdf-files from a website using the HTTP-caller. The writer is in this case embedded in the HTTPCaller and cannot be selected as writer in FME Flow. I have considered saving the pdf-files as attribute (binary). However, I have not managed to convert the binary files back to pdf, or write the attribute as pdf.  I need the functionality of the Data Downloader of being able to draw an area of interest, from which the associated pdf-files are downloaded. How could I make a Data Downloader-service that retrieves pdf's from a website?  

Since recently upgrading FME Form to Build 25609, I’m seeing the following warning on startup.UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.There are no obvious problems, but I would like to suppress the warning. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks.

I have just deployed a distributed Flow (2025.1) in Azure with following configurations (this is to replace a similar deployment in Azure with 2021.1 FME Server version)Core machine - 1Engine machine -1Azure storage accountAzure hosted postgresql flexible serverAzure application gateway In addition to the internal load balancer Azure creates as part of the deployment, we also have a public load balancer associated with the core VM to allow outgoing external traffic.A backup of the configurations from the 2021.1 FME Server is restored to the 2025.1 using the backup/restore fucntion in FME Flow. (Used an intermediate version 2024.2 to restore a backup from 2021.1 and then created a backup to restore to 2025.1, no error and everything works fine in Automation mode) However when select a workspace and ‘Run Workspace’ option is selected, it throws a message saying: There was an error submitting the job. This is same for any w

We are troubleshooting an issue getting FME 2024.0.2.2 to write to an ArcGIS SDE hosted in SQL 2019 on AWS. We have ArcGIS Pro 3.3.5 installed. This should all align with guidance found here: Notes on FME and Esri Versions and Compatibility – FME Support CenterAdditionally, we’ve found new guidance that seems to suggest the decade + old method of using desktop/Pro is no longer valid and ArcGIS Server is required to reside on the same machine as FME Flow: Using FME Flow with Esri ArcGIS Software – FME Support CenterWe have confirmed at publishing in Pro, the default is all licensed users are hitting the concurrent server and

I am leaning how to do the engine management in FME Flow 2024 at the moment. I had setup 2 extra queues out of default queue, but I only create 1 active period for one of the queue. Then I found out all jobs within another queue were in “Queued” state. My questions are:Do I have to setup active period to cover all queues? When 1 queue was setup in active period, how does other queue(s) work? What the default behaviour in active period. When the jobs in “Queued” state, can I resume it to run rather than re-submit the job and delete the existing “Queued” job?Thanks,Henry from TfNSW 

Hello Everyone, I hope you are doing well. I ran the below scripts to set it to custom python interpreter. I would like to know the default settings for FME server to revert back to original settings ?  Thanks,Naveen

HalloI am currently experiencing an issue where a running job becomes stuck and cannot be canceled via the FME Flow Web UI. Even after restarting FME Flow, the job remains in a "running" state. When restarting the FME Flow Application Server, Core, and Engine, the Automation restarts but gets stuck again.The following error message is displayed:2025-07-28 16:43:11 | AUTOMATIONS writer: FME Flow error: `FME Flow error: UNPROCESSABLE_REQUEST(Automations) Route "Param_Bundle" does not exist`I have already tried both options mentioned in this article:https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/29779782496141-Known-Issue-Job-Submitted-from-Automation-is-Stuck-Running-and-Cannot-be-CancelledUnfortunately, neither resolved the issue.Could

Hello to the community,I successfully set up an fme flow automation with a final action to send out an smtp email via our email server. The connection to this email server with the “SMTP Account” is valid and successfully tested and mails were sent. But the “SMTP Account” is not setup to receive emails at all.When i try to change the parameter “Email From” in the “email send” action to a different mail address than the used “SMTP Account”, our mail server denies to send out the email as a different user.This is for security reasons.But i want the email recipients to be able to just reply to an incoming email without changing the mail address. Further I don’t want to place a hint in every mail that it is not possible to simply reply to this mail without changing the address.Is there another way to change the smtp header parameter “replyto” for the email send action in fme flow?Thank you very much for any help and hintsbest regards

I am new to FME Flow. My organization had setup a FME Flow 2024.2 and integrated SAML for user login. I am just wondering whether I could use SAML account in FME Flow REST API and how to use it to generate a token for further REST API requests. Furthermore, is the generated token secure enough to prevent accessing other users’ resources, workspaces and data connections.Thanks in advance,Henry from TfNSW
