FME Flow

Is it fair to assume that I won't be able to configure Esri ArcGIS Python with FME Cloud and would have to deploy FME Server instead? 

We will be migrating a server holding FME(Safe) licenses to a new Domain. Everything else on the server will remain the same, Name-IP-Hardware-Disc ID. The only thing to change will be the domain the server sits in. Will this change affect the licenses?

Dear All,I've a question about choice parameter in FMEServer.I've published a workbench with some parameters. One paramter is a choice list (single). When I use the interface all is ok because I can specify only the items in the list. Now, I have some procedures that call the workbench by rest api. I've expected that FMEServer checked the submitted parameters with the list in the choice list but this didn't happen. I have to check in the workbench the input paramters?

FMEServerLogFileRetriever has been extensively used in our FME server jobs since FME 2016. It simply takes a FME server job id and returns the job's logfile content. I have been doing FME server and desktop 2019.2.1 to 2020.1.3 upgrade testing, and found this transformer works fine in desktop 2020.1.3, but breaks on the FME server 2020.1.3. The error is "FMEServerLogFileRetriever (ServerLogFileRetrieverFactory): Unable to use web connection to connect to FME Server. If connecting to FME Server 2013 or older, use direct connection." Anybody ran into this issue?

Hello I'm hoping that someone could shed some lights on this issue which I'm experiencing and not related specifically to FME 2020.2 So basically if I make a change in a Reader / Writer, i.e. changing the path of the destination then (Re)/Publish the workspace, I can see the changes made in FME Web UI but in Automations, the settings remain unchanged. That is problematic. I changed the DFS path from "MVGIS02-Data" to "GIS-Data". FME Server WebUI Automations Log

hello! I am very new to FME and I want to create a real-time or near real time dashboard using the FME tool. I could not find any tutorials to help me. can anyone help?

Every single time I try to log into the FME server I get a failed login. The second time it succeeds.Every time. Unless i leave chrome open. Then I can log out and log back in without a problem.Using LDAP. No other issues with LDAP anywhere. This is always the message:"LDAPException(resultCode=85 (timeout), errorMessage='A client-side timeout was encountered while waiting 10002ms for a response to simple bind request with message ID 2 ....." A time out message and authentication failed.I did a little reading on it and found a bunch of inconsistent java mumbo jumbo. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? Its super annoying. Thanks!!

HelloI want to do the samples of https://playground.fmeserver.com/by myself. Is there a demo or test server available? I want recreate the javascript and python samples. 

I have built a model, for making custome report in fmes html creator. I have added custom htmltopdf transformer as described in protocol, but not getting pdf. Also no errors showed up in the log. Do i have to change some transformer parameters?  Thanks in advance for the help.

I've published a workspace with a TTF file (arial.ttf). I can see the TTF data file in the workspace "files". but when trying to use this font (Arial) in the TextStroker transformer, I get INVALID_PARAMETER_FONT_NAME. What is the correct way to deploy / reference fonts on FME Cloud?

 Hello, Is it possible to view the html dashboard pages outside of the FME Server admin pages? For example I am intrested in writing a custom dashboard to FME Cloud and would like to share a direct link to it with some users, without requiring them to log in to FME Cloud/Server etc. and dealing with the UI. Is this possible? Thanks.

Since there is a limit on download I need to add a search envelope on my WFS and WMS import. I got this working in 2 ways: using the search envelope in the parameters of the reader or the XML filter expression. "<Filter>  <BBOX>   <ValueReference>Geometry</ValueReference>   <Envelope srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::31370">     <lowerCorner>159221.09606242698 220934.16757763177</lowerCorner>     <upperCorner>160221.09606242698 221934.16757763177</upperCorner>   </Envelope>  </BBOX></Filter>" My question is how I can use calculated coordinates as an input for this reader. Since the coordinates of the bounding box will change.(I know it has something to do with user-parameters but I can't get any number in the expression or parameter of the search envelope.) Thanks

Hi,I have installed a Fault tolerant FME Server 2019.2. There are two Core servers and 4 engine servers with one engine each, no engines on the core servers. A third party load balancer take care of the active/passive routing to the core machines. When I look at the Deployment Status in the webUI, all 4 engines are tied to the engine manager on the active core host. The issue appears if I stop the FME Server services on the active core host to test the active/passive behaviour. When the active core is down there are no engines left and the only online core have taken over the Job routing. If I send jobs to the FME Server all end up in the queue. When I start the services again the engines show up again and look like they are tied to the now following engine manager.This should not be the case. The engines shuld swich to the active core when the first one is down. This behaviour appeared after an upgrade (uninstall/install) from 2019.0 to 2019.2. Before the upgra

To start out, I am new to FME and to webhooks (or web mapping/web development in general). I am trying to set up a webhook to send an email when a user updates or creates a feature in an ArcGIS Online feature service. I have been able to successfully set up webhooks with Survey123 using the process in this article. Webhooks seem to be a relatively new feature in AGOL. I have only found this

  Hello all, I am taking the Basic Course in Safe website and I am really enjoying using this fantastic software. I am doing the exercise called Residential Garbage Collection Zones and I do not understand the SpatialSorter Step (This is the link). The ExpressionEvaluator takes the TotalResident attribute for each feature and divides it by 5 (rounding the result), creating an extra attribute called GroupSize where each value is 109. The SpatialSorter, group the points in spatial proximity and create an extra attribute called GroupId.  What I do not understand is how the 109 value (which is the attribute GrupSize) is used to create the GruoupId. What the calculation the SpatialSorter is

Bringing the fragments together with the xmlappener running on fme server 2020.1.3 gives an error:193 2020-12-11 16:35:05 | element name expected194 2020-12-11 16:35:05 | An error occurred while appending an XML document: 'element name expected'. The parsing fragment is identified by: 'xml_fragment' 

After upgrading ArcGIS from 10.7 to 10.8.1, we no longer can see FME Extension for ArcGIS in the Integration Console as an option. We are on FME2019, build 19617.  We have tried installing/reinstalling both ESRI and FME in different orders, but with no luck. Both are 32-bit installations. Is this extension in 2019 supported by 10.8.1, or would we need to upgrade to FME2020?

We are trying to use FME Server/Desktop to achieve the following:1. Intercept Survey123 submissions using webhooks - this works well.2. Conditionally send an email containing submitted data - this works as well.3. Include any photos attached to the survey submission - this part we can't get to work. Most submissions do not include photos. We are novices with FME.Surely someone has had this requirement before. If so, can you please share your solution?

We are getting ready to start using AD authentication with FME Server, so when a user changes their AD password, do they need to manually update it in the FME Server connection, or does that synch somehow with Active Directory ?

I am looking for a good/best-practices example python script the can check for a token for the user, if not valid will request one and then execute a set workspace. Anyone have anything they are willing to share?

In order to control the file system size I have setup a automatic System Cleanup that works on one of our custom shared resources. This was setup a couple of days ago, but it seems that this process was not run.  Is there a place where I can see the System Cleanup runs? Neither in the logs or jobs could I find any reference to this.Is there a setting at what time of the day this is run?What privileges are needed for the service to delete the files?What defines the filesystem user for, for example, the "fmeupload" files?I have used the following System Cleanup task definition, which should be run every day. However, in the folder structure I can see folders and files older than 1 month already. UpdateAfter restarting the FME Core, it now correctl

Hi everybody, where can I find (ad eventually set) the hostname FME Server uses when sending e-mails? Thanks! 

Why can a workspace started in automation not find a path, when the workspace itself run by hand works fine. I have a workspace that is working fine and runs data from a certain path as shown. So the reader is configured correctly.And when starting the workflow the file path is correct.Now when the same workspace is triggered by the automation flow it can't find the file anymore, because a backslash has been dropped from the path?And this continues for all the readers?

A package in the form of a fpkg file was installed during the upload of a new workspace. How can the package be uninstalled from FME server  

I have a workspace that takes one published parameter to run through. I want to set up a FME server weekly automation, and each weekly run includes running the workspace multiple times, each with a different parameter value. The parameter values are stored in a text file. Seems to be simple? But I can't think of a good way to do this. Still new to the FME server automation. I am using FME 2019.2.1, both desktop and server.
