Why does python request return HTTP status 500 and urllib does not

I want to use python request library to run webhoooks on FME Server. I am having trouble because python request library returns HTTP status code 500 with server error:Thu-23-Jul-2020 10:21:35.970 AM FATAL http-nio-80-exec-6 412007 : Service failed: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\requestdata\\9058908488982796417  I try to use the same url and headers with urllib.request.urlopen and the webhook runs fine. I really need to use the request library.

FME Server Apps Examples

Hi guys, Been looking forums and gallery to see examples of FME Server Apps. Do Safe have this available anywhere would be great to view? I am really eager to see FME apps which are for example form based and users can enter data, then this will push through to a database.

WMS

I am testing workbench: GetCapabilities.fmw and GetPNG.fmw to publish WMS service. I use sample data from https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19640/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server.html. I get WMS adress URL, but when I want to open the WMS in FME Desktop/QGIS I get information "Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP/1.1 401 from ......." Any suggestion what can be wrong? Propably, it's problem with authorisation, what options should I change in security (FMe Server)?

backupConfiguration.fmw not running on FME Server

Hi,I have downloaded the backupConfiguration.fmw workbench from FME Server to FME Desktop and altered the [FME_SERVER_WEB_URL] FME Server parameter to http://<SERVER_NAME> and it is running correctly on Desktop. However, when I publish the workspace to FME Server and run it from FME Server, I am getting the following error: HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP/1.1 504 Unknown Host'  The below feature caused the translation to be terminated58Storing feature(s) to FME feature store file `\\\\<SERVER_NAME>\\D$\\_FME\\FMEServerShare\\resources\\logs\\engine\\current\\jobs\\22000\\job_22402_log.ffs

Reinstalling with same license code ?

Hello,  I run free FME desktop 2020.0 (free home edition) on Linux Mint 19.3. The upgrade check for LM 20 warns me that FME will be removed. Would I be able then to install FME 2020.1 using the same licence code I was given or do I need to request a new one ?

Upgrading engines only

Hi.I'm new to administering an FME Server, but needed to upgrade my desktop client (from 2020.0 build 20252) to 2020.1, so I figured I also needed to upgrade the server. I chose to upgrade the engines only, by parallel installing the new version, and switching the engine reference. This worked very nicely.Both the client and the server (as reported on the engine page) now runs FME 2020.1 build 20594.But when I now try to upload a workspace, it warns me that I'm uploading to an older server !?"You are connecting to an older version of FME Server"Why does this error show ? Doesn't it look at the build numbers of the engines ?And how can I remove this bogus error message (except by suppressing it completely) ?Cheers

Send notification when 0 features are written

Hi everyone and thank you in advance!  I currently have a job set up on the server where data is being written to an ArcGIS Portal service from multiple outside sources using Topics/Notifications/Subscriptions. I would like to find a way to set it up to send a notification when the job runs and 0 features are written. The job does not fail when 0 features are written so I would like to find a way to notify me (probably using another topic/notification setup) when nothing is written to the service.  Let me know what you think!

Server App - email on completion?

We've got some server apps setup for non-FMEers to use, which is working great and has really lowered the perceived threshold. However, sometimes (mostly due to bad data), the workspaces fail. To monitor that, I'd like it if FME Server could send me an email - just like I can configure it to when I've set up an automation. Is there a neat way to do this, based on the server apps success/failure?

FME Server: Network Based Resource Connection Failed

Hello,FME Server 2020.1 on Windows 10 64bitI'm attempting to add a shared folder in a different Windows 10 machine [B] as a network based resource to an FME Server which is running on a Windows 10 machine [A].The machine [B] belongs to a closed network which is different from the network where the machine [A] belongs to, so I firstly configured an Ethernet (wired LAN) connection between the two machines.I believe this has been done successfully, since the shared folder in the machine [B] can be accessed (read/write) with the Windows Explorer in the machine [A], using both IP address and computer name. Next, I created a new network based resource for the FME Server running on the machine [A]. However, failed to connect the shared folder.This was the same even if I set the UNC path with the IP address. I was able to create and connect a network based resource successfully with the same manner if the shared folder is located in a machine belonging to the same network to which the mach

When does the unzip process take place when using unzip parameter opt_extractarchive in Data Upload Service

We are uploading large zip files containing a folder structure like this, but much more folders and files in it.Folder1- file1- file 2Folder 2:-file3- file4 The upload is done with the Data Upload Service and we are using the parameter opt_extractarchive to automatically unzip all files.In a next step, a FME service will go through the unzipped file structure on the server and process these files. We have realized that FME does not process part of the uploaded files, there is always a list of files which are not processed. But with every upload, the files not processed are changing, sometimes the first 30 files are processed well and the next 25 are missing, sometimes the first 35 files are ok...Could it be that the unzip happens after the upload, and when we start the processing job, maybe not all files are unzipped yet?We have this issue only with large zip folder structures (they contain a lot of pdf files and images in it).

Very un-random engine selection

I have an FME Cloud Starter instance, 2019.1.3.1, with 2 engines which, at the moment, is running mainly one workspace with an average processing time of 20-30 seconds on a 1-minute schedule plus some other (10 at most) jobs either on a schedule or ad-hoc. There are no job queues in use so I would expect each of the two engines to be used "about 50%" of the time. However, it recently (with the addition of that workspace on the 1-minute schedule, replacing an ad-hoc workspace with similar load figures) started to show a preference for running many jobs in a row on the same engine. This load graph from yesterday shows it clearly and I'm especially surprised by the sudden switch to running almost all jobs in a given hour on the same engines.Of the 500 jobs on the completed page right now, 347 have been run on Engine2, that includes a whole section of this morning where only about 1 in every 30 jobs was run on Engine1.Is there a logical explanation for this?

Calculate geodesic area of polygons

Hi, I hope you can help on this! I would like to calculate the area of a set of polygons in FME, however, when using the AreaCalculator, as we know, we can calculate an area using Geodesic. I found this KB question: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/35906/how-to-calculate-spherical-area-in-km2-using-pytho-1.html  However I am struggling to implement this, would anyone have advice on how to calculate polygon areas, in km2, using geodesic (WGS84 or ED50 for example?) Any advice is super appreciated.

Automation Logs - filtered data

Hi,So I've been experimenting with this automation where an external application triggers a webhook and passes a message. I then filter the content by looking for the existence of a string and then trigger a topic if found and also log it. If it fails, another filter is applied and another topic is triggered and logged. And finally the same happens with another topic if all filtering fails. The goal of the log at each stage was to help in debugging but I'm finding that ALL logs are identical and that was definitely not my expectation. Shouldn't log actions only work and store data if actually triggered through a connection? Or am I misunderstanding how the new log action works? This is in FME Server 2020.1 beta. Thanks.

FME License Server

Hello,I'm facing a problem for licensing server configuration. FME Server 2017.There is a firewall between the server and the clients.The server is a single instance and no other flexnet servers are installed in the same machine.The 27000-27009 ports are open in the firewall.No additional configuration done in the safe.lic file.For a long time, everithing worked properly.Now, even if the 27000/27009 ports are still open, the clients seems not able to reach the license server.At least, a telnet to these ports is fine.Trying to solve, I want to modify the safe.lic file.Is the syntax correct? From the documentation, the SERVER port seems not to be mandatory.In case I could use another port like 27001. Is that correct? SERVER servername 000c290de0df (or SERVER servername 000c290de0df 27001)VENDOR safe PORT=27000USE_SERVER........TIA

update hundreds of schedules' parameter value

Hello, I need to update one parameter for all my schedules (about 300 active schedules). I'm looking for the easiest way for that. I tried to do it manually on FME configuration DB but I can see then even though parameters are updated still schedule is executed with old values. It takes effect only after editing schedule using FME Web Portal, then I can see updated value and when I click save schedule is updated. I believe that this is because of some kind of cache mechanism on fme scheduling system. So is there any way to force FME to reread values of parameters (for example by restarting some components?). Please keep in ming that I have a lot of engines on different machines. Second option that comes to my ming is to use REST API but it is not as easy as executing update script on DB. And executing script on DB has advantage that it can be a transaction so either I have all schedules updated or none. Using REST API doesn't give me that out of the box.  Thanks for any hints!

Can Server delete an email after an Automation has completed?

I've built an Automation to run a workspace when Server receives an email containing some key text. The problem is that the email remains in the IMAP mailbox after the Automation has run, so in 5-minutes when Server polls the mailbox and finds the same piece of email, it want to run the whole thing over again. How do I make it delete the email once it has been processed?

FME Server outgoing mail

I've come across an interesting case with a customer recently, they were trying to set up outgoing email from FME Server and while an Emailer transformer with their mail server credentials worked fine, those same credentials in e.g. the Datadownload success notification or as the system email didn't work. No error messages, just didn't do it. Any idea what causes this (or where to begin looking in the logs for a clue?)

Problem with string lenght

This is probably rather a Windows 10 problem but maybe someone can help: If I use the StringLength function I get wrong counts for words with German special characters (e.g. "Ä" or "ß") because they get a length of 2 instead of 1. When I ran the same workspace on a colleagues machine the length was calculated correctly so I guess I have to change some region or language settings but so far I could not find the culprit. Any idea what's the issue here? Thank you for any help.Edit: For some reason the StringLengthCalculator Transformer calculates the right length.
