FME Flow

We cannot access an FME Desktop floating license from a remote computer. The remote computer locates the license server and requests a license, but the license server returns the error message, "FME floating license system failure: no SERVER lines in license file(-13)". Accessing FME Desktop on the license server itself is successful, however, and the license file appears to be correct (safe.lic in the C:\\FlexServer folder). Unfortunately, the FlexNET documentation does not provide a solution or troubleshooting options to the error message.

Hi There, I am using FME Cloud to translate data into DWG. In the writer settings I provide a folder for the  AutoCAD Shape File Folder, which is used in the translation.However the log file also states:No AutoCAD font folder specified. All Text and Multi-Text entities will use the default font file 'default.shx'I expect the writer to use the shx file specified in the AutoCAD Shape File Folder, why is this not happening? 

I have been building a server app that writes out an HTML that I was planning on streaming back to users. I was also planning on using an Emailer after this so was going to use a FeatureWriter with HTML output. However, I am finding that when I use a FeatureWriter for the HTML output, FME Server uses the data download service, not data streaming. But when I write the HTML out to a normal writer, the data streaming service works fine and the HTML page opens on it's own. Everything else is the same in the workspace and during publishing (with the exception of the included writers in stream, as it should be different).Has anyone else come across this? Is this a bug?I'm running 2020.0.2.1 Build 20238.

Hi list.Is there a best-practice in how to monitor the health of the FME Server engines?I know that if a workspace runs, the engine used must work, but is that a guarantee that it'll work with any workspace?E.g., has there been built some comprehensive testing workspace, that'll test most aspects of an engine?And how can one log that an engine won't start?I've been asked about this in connection with our upcoming launch of our FME Server for production.Cheers.

When I try to create a Data Streaming Service for a workbench creating a XLSX file, the resulting file originating from FME Server is recognized as a XLS file instead of XLSX. Thus, the downloaded file is test.xlsx.xls.  How can I guarantee that the file is recognized as XLSX? The content-type returned by FME Server is application/vnd.ms-excel. As far as I can see, this is wrong. It should be application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet? 

I'm unable to use SSL with the S3Connector on a FME Server that has valid certs to our AWS. The certs are valid because we have successfully added a resource to the same S3 bucket. If I turn off SSL verification in the transformer, it works successfully. What is different with how the S3Connector works? Has anyone ran into this issue and resolved it?FME Server 2019.1Thank-you!Kathy

Hi, I have troubles setting up an Emailer in FME Desktop 2019. For testing purposes I set up a simple workspace with just a creator linked to an Emailer to send a test mail from my email account to my other email account. I tried different settings for the Encryption and the port number, as documented on my mail providers site but the workspace always produces a fatal error. I'm guessing it is because I'm running the ws inside my companies VPN which would be a problem as my floating FME license only works inside the VPN. In my logfile I get following error messages: The below feature caused the translation to be terminatedEmailer_<Rejected> (TeeFactory): Emailer_<Rejected>: Termination Message: 'Emailer output a <Rejected> feature. To continue translation when features are rejected, change 'Workspac

Hi Everyone, I have a Json file that i want to join to a shapefile. The json file has one row of data and i want this to be added to every row in the shapefile (the shapefile has other fields that will be updated by another shapefile). The fields I want from the JSON file are already in this shapefile. Thanks in advance and hope that makes sense to you all

Hello, I am trying to find some resources on creating hyperlinks, but I've yet to find anything helpful. I have an input csv with URLs to a corporate sharepoint site that I'd like to convert into clickable text, then write out to File Geodatabase. Can you provide me with some guidance please?

Hi all,I am wondering can FME find a way to list all feature classes used in my ArcGIS Pro map file? If not can it do it with ArcGIS Desktop files i.e. .mxd? I am struggling to find a way to do this without possibly Python

My local Esri reseller in The Netherlands makes available specific basemaps for its dutch users. Their extent, content and coordinate system have been customized as such. But, more importantly, they are supplied from a different URL than the world basemaps by Esri Inc.The latter are hosted from services.arcgis.com, but the ones I would like to use as a background map are hosted from services.arcgis.nl.The Background Map dialog allows me to either configure a standard web map service, like ArcGIS Online (in this case: arcgis.com). The best choice here, I should think, is "Others".But then the dialog acts like a Reader configuration and I can only choose an ArcGIS feature service, which is not the right one for the basemaps.So, I tried the option "Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Map Service" for the source, and filling in the URL in the "Map List" textbox:

We have a FME 2020 workspace using python 3.7+ running successfully on Desktop.When running on FME Server 2020 (FME Server for Docker 2020.1.3.0 build 20632 linux x64) the workspace failed due to the python version loaded by the FME Server engine (python 3.6. coming with the image). It looks like python 3.6 is the most current for Ubuntu 18.04 The question is: Is there any recommended way (by safe) to enable python 3.7 in the environment we have? thanksKlaus

I'm new to FME. And I have a shapefile. The *.shp is footprint of a building. I want to give an extrusion value to it manually. And then write it as a CityGML file(*.gml). So, briefly, I want to make a very simple prism with an extruded shapefile. Could you please give me an information about this?

Hi,I have a problem to trigger a command via System Caller on the FME Server. In the log appears the following:  It triggers an .exe with Parameters, which are reference to FME-Server Resource Directory. If we start the process local via FME Workbench, it works without troubles and do the job. If we trigger the same directly on the Server via cmd.exe or batch-file it works as well without problems. For any kind of help I would be grateful 

I am using the Directory and File Pathnames reader and I receive the warning. No files found in folder '____' using glob pattern '**/*' with glob filter 'ANY'. No features will be read.However, there are clearly folders in this location   To ensure it wasn't security issues, I tested the Adobe Geospatial PDF reader to read a PDF within the folder and it can read the contents perfectly. Does anyone have any idea why I can't read any directories or pathnames?  

What are the versions for the third party components used in FME Server? Database Server? Application Server?

Hei, we have some older FME server (2017+2018) which we would like to upgrade to newest version.What OS

Hello,By default, the location of FME temporary files in the system temporary directory is on some Windows versions defaults to C:\\temp or under the user local temp directory (i.e. C:\\Users\\mark\\AppData\\Local\\Temp). There is a way to change the location of temp files using these methods : https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-temp-environment-variableThe problem is we need administrator rights to make these manipulations. FME users doesn't have always the administration rights. In my case, setting the location right directly from the WorkBench (in the FME options menu for exemple) would be very helpful : Do you think it can be a good idea? Is there any project to ease the setting of FME Temp files in a future version of FME?Thank a lotRonan Jarno

Hi all, Is there any possibility to create a photo application where a user can take a picture out on the field?  We are looking to see if there alternative options outside ESRI due to the licence cost.

So imap is not available on the company email.SMTP is also not allowed.I thought an FME Server app would work, but the company phone does not have VPN.So what can I do to kick off the workflow? Because it expects some values which needs to be provided by the user.Would appreciate any ideas.

Hi all.I installed version 2020.0 originally, and when 2020.1 was released, I opted to upgrade the engines only. This worked out fine.But the web interface GUI is still 2020.0, and so any improvements here are not available. This is probably not an issue now, but will be when 2021.0 is released.Are there any concerns when upgrading FME Server fully ? Will all setup be kept in place ? Are there any post-install tasks needed ?Cheers.
