FME Flow

​Main questionCan anyone advise me about the installation of the GDAL Python module and its implications on FME's Python interpretations? Can anyone share their experiences in using a different Python module within FME other than FME's Python interpreter or ArcPy? Background infoCurrently, it is not directly supported to calculate percentile values in the *StatisticsCalculator transformers of FME (e.g. also not in the RasterStatisticsCalculator). See also this Idea on the FME community.In order to still do so, I thought about using a Python script/module to perform this step. Specifically, I would like to extract the 95% percentile of pixel values in a GeoTIFF (those pixel values represent absolute height values), for portions of the GeoTIFF that overlap/intersect with 2D polygon features of building extents.  Python modules likely suitable for the task of calculating 'zonal statistics over a raster'One might use the 'Zonal Statistics As Table (Raster Analysis)' from ArcGIS Pro, which 

Hey there We have updated our FME Server to Version 2021.0.1. Now we have a small problem with the fmedatadownload service. The Workbench works fine, and it also returns a URL. But the returned URL has the wrong protocol and not quite the right host. We have the following request:https://fmesvr.company.com/fmedatadownload/...?opt_servicemode=sync&opt_responseformat=jsonThe response URL looks like this: http://fmesvr/fmedatadownload/results/... If we change the download URL to the right protocol and host the download works just fine. Obviously we have some Settings wrong. Can anyone help witch config files are wrong?

I would like to know what TLS version is supported for FME 2020 desktop.

Hello,this is the log from FME server. The reader is a known source that works without any problems in other workspaces, that is why I find this part of the log strange:" contains invalid reader keyword '{{*}}'.

MapFormatter custom transformer was created so that you can create a map at any size, scale and orientation. Map Sizes:A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Junior Legal, Letter, Legal, Tabloid (Ledger), ANSI A, ANSI B, ANSI C, ANSI D and ANSI E. Map Orientation:Landscape and Portrait Manually entering other sizes could be an option in the future. I have uploaded the 'MapFormatter' transformer onto the FMEHUB for you to review and provide feedback. This has been tested and at this stage, I am confident that everything works as expected, however will do more quality testing. Below is an example where the transformer was used to create a map with Aspect: MapMap Orientation: LandscapeMap Scale: 1:2000Map Size: A3WorkspaceLidar was used to create the AspectScaleBar custom transformer was used to create the scale barTransformers top left created the AspectTransformers top right created the text for the mapTransformers bottom left added the north arrow and the legend.Transformers botto

I have an ArcGIS Portal OAuth web connection I created for myself and successfully uploaded to our FME Server. It's been working great. My assumption is, because it's OAuth, I can share the web connection with my colleagues who are being switched over to OAuth on ArcGIS Portal and also have workspaces on FME Server utilizing ArcGIS Portal feature services. As a test I exported my web connection, sent it to a colleague who imported it and then changed a workspace with Portal connections to use the OAuth web connection. He manually ran the workspace without issue. When he tried to upload the workspace to FME Server, however, he received a warning there was already a connection with the same name - the one I had already uploaded. Neither of the two options given worked. 1) He could upload the workspace without overwriting the OAuth web connection already on FME Server but then the workspace failed to write to ArcGIS Portal. (Only Portal Writers in his workspace, no Readers.) FME S

We're trying to create a new geodatabase but are getting the following error: Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.842021-4-14 08:54:44 Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `\\\\srvarcgis\\data\\Projects\\Data\\test.gdb' for writing I have verified that FME Server has read/write access to that path by reading from a file and by writing to a different file format (CSV), so it's not CIFS permissions issues. We have also tried both geodatabase APIs (FGDB and Open FGDB). The issue occurs regardless which user is used to run the workbench. The issue occurs on multiple workbenches. What else could we try looking at?

Is it possible to launch an Engine pod on a different cluster and register it in the core service deployed on other cluster? I want to have 2 engines, but located on different clusters.

I have a set of data which contains an attribute name (header/title) which I have to use an an attribute value for a new attribute. At the moment, I am using attribute creator to create a new attribute and then attribute manager to add this to existing data. However I am unable to set the new attribute value as one of the attribute name of existing data (which I read in using reader transformer). Any help will be highly appreciated.

Has anyone configured an FME trigger webhook as an outgoing webhook in Teams? It'd be very nice to just @ an automation without leaving Teams. I've got an automation triggered by a webhook that can be triggered no problem using curl, but trying to use that webhook in Teams gets an immediate failure ("Sorry, there was a problem encountered with your request"). It looks like Teams may be expecting a particular response (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45743782/custom-bot-always-replies-with-an-error) and I'm not sure whether FME provides that / how to troubleshoot from here.

The same problem occurs when starting a workspace. When using VPN, it can take 1-2 minutes just to start the workspace. Without VPN, it´s instantaneous. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I use Windows 10, 64 bit, FME 2020.0 using SCCM, fixed license.

I am trying to setup a web connection under Tools -> Manage Service -> and I don't have Esri ArcGIS Portal(template) available. Is there a file I can import or resource to build it for Enterprise Portal?  Version of desktop: FME(R) 2018.0.1.0 (20180518 - Build 18310 - WIN64)

FME server documentation states:Note: Each IMAP Publisher created on FME Server must reference a unique email account. You cannot create multiple IMAP Publishers that reference the same address.However, I have done some testing with this and I have created more than one publisher with the same IMAP email. Bother publishers work. Am I missing something? Is there going to be a future error or fault? Where is the conflict with this? Thanks.

That message appears when i try to configure the System Email, create a Backup or restore one

Hi, I've build an automation in the FME Server with Trigger type: Schedule initiated and Schedule type: Repeat on interval for 1 minutes (for testing purpose) and it works perfectly . However when I stop the automation and set the interval for 1 day at 7.00am, the automation is not working after I checked again the service the other day.   Any idea on how can I resolve the issue?

Hello, I've made a workbench that downloads data to Shape automatically once per month from https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/hwh/eenheden/wms/v1_0?request=getcapabilities&service=wms (WMS).  This time I would like to make a workbench that compares the geometry and administrative data from the Shape files with each other (January-February, February-March and so on). I am thinking about doing this with the ChangeDetector transformer, but that's where my idea stops. Could anyone give me advice on this?  Many thanks,Claire

Like to upload 1:n files through a FME Server App to FME Server for processing (kick off several automations that are triggerd by a directory watch). I have setup a workspace containing a Data File Reader and a File Copy Writer. It works but some unnecessary processing is done. For example zip's are unzipped and I have to filter to get the original zip for copying. Is there a more elegant way to upload files without FME start processing things? 

It seems FME Server 2021 is still having problems with SSO as described in "Known Issue: FME Server SSO failed login due to insufficient credentials" Is this known and is SAFE working on the issue? Or are there other solutions/workarounds?  

While following the tutorial of https://community.safe.com/s/article/tutorial-custom-data-delivery-using-fme-server and creating an App Server with the "austinDownload.fmw", I notice the download link is wrong: "https://dev.fme.geosmartdesign.com:443/fmedatadownload/results/FME_11246665_1617281097879_2096.zip" alt="https://https://https://<redacted>:443/fmedatadownload/results/<FME_uuid>.zip".  Notice the double "https" definition. Where and how is this link exactly build, are ENVs affecting this? SetupDocker stack (quay.io/safesoftware/fmeserver-core:2019.2.0-20191106)Reverse proxy Traefik (redirect https)FME Server 2019.2 - Build 19801 - linux-x64

The image of the error is attached here..Thank you as I await a solution to the issue. let me also state that FME 2018 and 2019 ARE WORKING PERFECTLY WELL on my computer except, FME 2020 AND 2021.

I'm trying to figure out why I'm unable to import a project, I'd like to know the service which performs the import to make sure I have the user running the services correct. TIA

I'm trying to fix our Google Sheets connection in FME Server after a restore but can't get the redirect URI set correctly. It's currently set to http://127.0.0.1:8080/fmeoauth. The Google authorization goes all the way to the "Allow" button before I get a "This page isn't working (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)" error. I've tried different URI strings, including http://127.0.0.1:8080/fmeserver/fmeoauth, but get the same error. When replacing 127.0.0.1 with localhost, or the hostname, the Google auth goes nowhere. This is a private FME Server instance that is firewalled and has no public access. What else can I try?

I'm submitting jobs using FME API (v2): /transformations/commands/submit/< repository >/< workspace > The model writes output results to JSON file. Is it a way to get contents of the result JSON file through API request? Using this with no luck (visible log details only):/transformations/jobs/id/< jobid >/result 

Hello everyone,please, because of security policy, on server, where is FME server installed, there has to be SELinux also. And SELinux systematically blocks all FME services. Please, does anybody tipor trick, how to figure it out? How to run FME server on tha same server with SELinux? Thank you so much in advance!Lubo

I am tasked to asses FME and determine if it will be a good fit for our organization as main integration platform. I have done some research on FME and have few questions (where i could not find much documentation):Does FME have any self-documentation feature or 3rd party add-on which can be used to achieve this? How does most organization maintain design documentation for workspaces?Can FME Server expose REST APIs that are created by developers or we absolutely need to get a 3rd party API Gateway (AWS, etc.) for hosting APIs, security, etc?What capabilities FME provides for monitoring (performance, errors, etc.) or all of this has to be designed by developers?What additional tools are required in the Integration Stack to support basic patterns like APIs and Messaging ? What does your implementation have.Any pointers to documentation that
