FME Flow

Hello,we are developing an application which is using Data Download Service. User gets an email with download link in it. When the dataset is already deleted from FME Server, user is redirected to a web page "Download Dataset Expired".Is it possible to customize this page? For example to translate it etc.?Or is there some way to automatically redirect the user to some other web page? Rudolf

I installed fme server "FME Server 2020.2.2 Build 20817 - win64" on a new machine, and then restored from backup "FME Server 2020.2 Build 20787 - win64". The restore appeared to go successfully however all jobs fail with a message like "Error: The log file for job ID "6" does not exist". I suspect there's a path somewhere that needs to be updated. How do I locate where it might be configured?http://SERVER:8080/fmeserver/#/systemevents/history?page=1 shows over 250 events so it's not that logs can't be written at all. I found a thread mentioning this message at https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hL2RSAU/fme-server-2019-error-the-log-file-for-job-id-2613-does-not-exist and the cure there was to run System Cleanup tasks. I have 14 tasks listed on that page and all are enabled. I don't see a mechanism to trigger them to run though. 

Hi everyone, I have tried to set up push notifications to our phones and Pushbullet has done an amazing job for Android devices, easy to set up, and more importantly, it's FREE.  For anyone who is interested, I've used this transformer from FME hub https://hub.safe.com/publishers/jrn/transformers/pushbullet.  However, Pushbullet doesn't support iOs devices while all of our work phones are iPhones so now I am looking for an alternative option for Pushbullet that can be used for iPhone.  Would be much appreciated if you could recommend any other alternative open-source option.  Many thanks!

Hi, In a workspace I used a few FMEServerJobSubmitters. It worked fine for a few days but suddenly the error message “credentials for user are invalid”.I can still login to the FME server with the same credentials as the workspace works with. How is it possible that these credentials are not held? Greetings 

So I have a Coordinate System Name Parameter and in Workbench I get this nice gallery to help me pick and choose. There are several columns of data to use for searching or sorting...very nice indeed.However now if I publish my workspace to FME Server, we get this:At this point the user would need to know what they're looking for, but without the metadata shown in the Gallery, you don't know exactly what you're picking especially if the end user is not a coordinate system expert (myself included!). For example I'd like to search for a UTM in meters, something in central US, etc. to ensure that any Lat/Lon coordinates are converted to something that makes sense for the picked area on a map.Any thoughts? Should this be a wishlist idea? Thanks.

Hi list.We're trying out the streaming capabilities of workspaces in FME Server (2020.2).When you upload a workspace, you can check streaming, and under its settings, you need to set one reader and one writer as streaming input and output resp. Both are mandatory, you can't upload if any of them isn't set.I did that with a workspace, using an ACAD input and a JSON output.However, when we ran the workspace, it erred because it couldn't create the (testing) JSON output file. Yes, the same transformer that ought to stream its output. Only when I disabled the writer (and re-uploaded), I could run the workspace.We're using the post /transformations/transactdata/< repository >/< workspace > REST API endpoint, as the workspace has 3 parameters other than the streamed input.The API documentation for this endpoint does state, that it streams a fixed JSON output (Response Class), and so it's logical, that it doesn't allow other streaming outputs.What g

I'm configuring fme (fme server 2019.1.3.1) to use https. When I try importing a pfx wildcard certificate into the tomcat.keystore and I'm get the following error: Importing keystore C:\\certificates\\xxxxxxx.xxx.pfx to tomcat.keystore...keytool error: java.io.IOException: DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=109, too big. Any thoughts on what the error might be and how to fix it? Thanks!  

Hi folks, I'm building a set of workspaces that are combining into a larger whole and will be running on FME Server. Given it's a number of different workspaces, I'd like to be able to publish to the Server from the command line - partly because I'm lazy, but mostly because I'd like to avoid getting versions out of sync between my local repository and what's on the Server. It appears (based on text output) that the publishing process from FME Workbench uses a process behind the scenes, but I can't find any documentation about how to publish from the command line. Is this possible? If so, is there any documentation or can someone provide the appropriate command line magic to make this happen? I know this could be accomplished with the API, as well, but I'm attempting to avoid writing anything new if I don't need to. Any help much appreciated, and thanks in advance! Pat

I’ve been using dropbox watch for automation and worked fairly well (fast trigger after modifying a file in dropbox folder). now, almost never recognize the modification, and if so, it takes more than 2 mins to start the event ☹. any thoughts? Thnks!

Hi,I attempting to write to an existing table which contains polygons based in Postgres database. I have selected truncate existing table. I get following error:Error was 'ERROR: null value in column "objectid" violates not-null constraint The object ID seems to be an issue only when attempting remove existing data and add new data. When creating a new table, this is not a issue.  

I am wanting to automate PDF's to be downloaded on a weekly or fortnightly basis. The url changes slightly each week/fortnight: 'https://www.admiralty.co.uk/WeeklyNMs/Year%20-%202021/05wknm21_week05_2021.pdf " for example the '05wknm21_week05_2021' would change to '06wknm21_week06_2021' and so on. There is usually only 1 or 2 numbers in the urls that will change each week going up by a factor of 1. Is there a way I can automate these changes? Note I had a different example here but that link had a redirect URL which solved the problem for that particular URL but unfortunately it was not the same for the link above. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everybody... I'm trying to find a way to delimit a preservation area within the parcels of my allotment. The area to be preserved has always to be 30% of the parcels area, also it has to be on the bottom side of the parcel. I tryied to had draw it on the pic above. Is there any transformer that could fill a the polygon within a given percentage, or create another polygon wich the área corresponds to the a percentage of the lot?

Hi all, Hope you are well. I have recently created a FME workbench which gathers all the information and updates every 15 minutes via FME Server. This then writes directly to a PostGres Database. I have got this part working and have successfully published the data to ArcGIS enterprise. The issue I am facing is how does ArcGIS enterprise update the data every 15 minutes when the Postgres database gets updated without me having to publish it manually every time? Is there a possibility for FME to do this?  The output currently is in a map service.    

At this moment we have a working arcgis pro python environment working on FME Server (2020.2) and Desktop on a Virtual Machine. We've setup the python interpreter using the command prompt lines specified at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Using-Python-with-FME_Server.htm and set the PYTHONHOME variable with he custom python environement.  However, when using FME desktop on the VM and changing the python interpreter to a different python environment (mainly for testing), the FME server also seems to change its custom python interpreter to the one used within the desktop application.  When researching the information on python interpreters ( https://community.safe.com/s/article/choosing-a-different-python-interpreter-installati ), for FME Desktop there is the the following note: "NOTE: This option controls FME as a whole, and not just the current workspace. Therefore, all FME processes will use this alternative version of Python, until you reve

Our Gallery Apps on FME Server don't show a custom image as icon, but leave the space blank instead. In previous versions of FME Server this was not the case. Our installation is FME Server 2020.2, build 20787, win64.Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

I have set up a sensor to send UDP messages to FME Cloud via a GSM modem and it works great as a trigger, but the message that arrives is nonsense.  I believe everything is sent as bytes through the serial port so I have no idea whether its possible to format it before sending or the problem is how FME Cloud is receiving the data. 

The default and non-overwritable company proxy setting on our FME server machines has not been working consistently against external data services in our 2019.2.1 FME server. I was glad it started to work consistently 4 weeks ago with our FME server 2020.1.3 upgrade in which we explicitly set the Proxy to a proxy IP address/Port inside the FME server. However, it stopped working since a week ago. The FME server error message shows the server is using the default company proxy setting again. Should the FME server proxy setting overwrite the server machine's proxy setting?

I have a Desktop Workbench 2019, it works perfect when ran from the desktop. However, FME Server 2019 fails to write to the SDE Geodatabase. In the FeatureWriter transformer, for the Connection File, I have the following syntax which works fine on Desktop: \\\\SERVER\\fmeservershare\\resources\\data\\Configuration\\SDE_Connection.sde Maybe the syntax to read it from FME server should be something like this??$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\Configuration\\SDE_Connection.sde I published the workbench to FME Server with the Connection file as: $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\Configuration\\SDE_Connection.sde but when I run it on FME Server, it doesn't write anything and no errors are giving in the log. It stops in line 107 and just hangs there. Is my Connection File syntax wrong? 107 Transactions are being used by the Geodatabase Writer  Thank you.

Hello, We are running FME Server 2020.1.0.1 and are trying to connect it to our AD to allow users to login and run automations. We keep getting the below error and we are not sure what to try next.Unable to establish connection to directory server (91)Port: 636Connection Type: SSLAuthentication Type: Basic

Is it possible to retrieve the advanced information from Automations (like 'Queued Job Expiry Time' and 'Running Job Expiry Time') from the FME Server API?I would like to automatically check if these options are used for all my automations.

Is it possible to format an Excel file with FME to create drop-down lists (function data validation in Excel)? I have multiple excel files that need multiple drop-down lists and a supplier excel sheet with all values. In total there are hundreds of drop-down lists that need to be created, therefore wonder if there could be some solution available with FME.

Hi All, I have a workbench built in FME Desktop 2019.1 which I am planning on deploying to FME Server 2019.1. This workbench does incremental updates to records in a SQL Server database on the basis of updates delivered in XML payloads. The workbench consists of an XML reader, various transformers to transform XML data into the required format, and a SQLExecutor to run an 'upsert' in SQL Server (we elected not to use a SQL Server Writer). XML payloads are delivered to a directory on a file share of some kind (probably FTP, maybe SMB - this is an implementation detail, I can map the directory as a network drive of some kind if required). We do not need to handle any kind of geospatial data. What I am trying to do is determine a way to trigger the workbench in FME Server by a file being dropped into a directory, and then, once the workbench has run, move the file to another archive directory. I can see that triggering an Automation in FME Server on the basis of a change in a dire

I have successfully used FME Data Express with csv files being uploaded directly from the users iOS mobile device. However I now need to have the users upload a .htm file instead of csv for the same type of workflow. It works fine on the browser using a FME Server app to upload a htm, however when using a htm table reader in the FME Data Express app, where the green + sign should be to add a file, I get [Unsupported] Source Dataset.  I would like to know what file formats are supported for direct mobile device upload on iOS for FME Data Express, so I can try to develop some sort of workaround. 

I have set up static IP adress for the cloud instance as I assume this is necessary?
