FME Flow

Is there anyway to read information using an FMW reader about a workspace that has been uploaded to FME Server without downloading first? I can automatically download to a temp location via the API if needed just wanted to check I wasn't missing an alternative

Hello everyone, A customer of mine has created a lot of XSLT stylesheets which we want to apply to our XML documents. We would like to use FME for the automation part (download XML, apply stylesheet, write result and push to server). However I seem to receive an error when applying XSLT stylesheets of version 2.0. Version 1.0 stylesheets work as expected but the workflow throws an error as soon as it encounters a function that is only present in XSLT 2.0 (like lower-case or upper-case).The stylesheets that I used to test the workflow both work as expected outside of the FME workflow. Is XSLT 2.0 currently not supported? Or am I missing something?I am using FME 2020.0 - Build 20238 - WIN64.

Hi all, I have a question about FME Cloud and the Temp folder.  I have found that the results from the DataDownload and also when data is uploaded to FME Server it goes into the System/Temp resource and not into the Temp resource.  Is there a specific reason for this? I've just been looking at this article and have bumped up my temp space. But when looking and the usage on the FME Cloud console it seems it's never really used.  By contrast the Primary disk is getting used constantly for tasks like writing out DataDownload results and Upload results.  Any thoughts? Should I just reduce my temp again? @gerhardatsafe​ what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance

I have the FME Server Core running in a CentOS instance in AWS and a number of engines on separate instances. The shared resources folder is in an Elastic File System mounted to all the engines and the Core. I noticed that when new folders are created from the FME Web UI, they are created by the root user and not by the fmeserver user as I was expecting. This is causing the engines to have problems writing into those new folders because the fmeserver user (which is the user that runs the workspace) lacks the necessary permissions.  I can't keep modifying every new folder's permissions to allow for the fmeserver user to be able to write to them. What could be a more permanent solution? Can the Core be changed to use the fmeserver user instead when creating new directories?

Has anyone already installed FME Desktop on Linux MX 19? If so, which version was used?Thanks and greetingsPat

Does anyone have experience building out a FME Server Automation with a trigger based on changes in Autodesk Vault?  I was thinking a Directory Watch would be the way to go, but my IT group doesn't seem to think a directory path exists for the files in Vault. If it matters, Vault and the files therein are stored on local servers (not on the cloud).  Any information is appreciated.

We have a corporate proxy server in our organisation. We have this server configured in our desktop version of FME successfully. We have just started trialling FME server and running a workbench returns the following error for a HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'SSL connect error'(HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up(HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been enteredI'm assuming this is because we have to configure a proxy for our FME Server application however I can find no information regarding this issue.

Hi, Im looking for documentation on License manager support for RHEL7. Is it supported using the same license manager used on RHEL 6 to RHEL 7 for Floating licenses?

We have a folder of pdf files where we want to be able to track two things - when a new file is added when an existing file is replaced with a file of the same name.  We have 1) working (using Directory Watcher). But I'm not sure of the best way to approach 2). I guess we could look out for situations of 1) where the file count in the directory has also increased. But I'm not clear how to accomplish that or whether that's the best approach. Incidentally, these files are project drawings. And our business practice is such that when as-built info is added to the drawings, they get re-scanned and the existing file gets replaced with this new scanned file.

Hi, I have the next question with FME Server: The configuration is being done to give access through the url of the aqueduct to the FME server application, which uses the IBM WebSEAL solution as a reverse proxy, I have not found documentation for the configuration of the reverse proxy in the version that we have installed FME server, so I request your kind cooperation to define what would be the steps for the configuration of the reverse proxy. I’m attentive to your important answer and help. Best Regards

I'm newbie (less than week). I published my workspace to my cloud. My workspace does necessary translation between file formats and coordinate systems. Now I need to upload to this cloud workspace my input file and download from there the result file.  This should be done by my javascript program. How do I set my workspace to be able to get input and send the output from/to my javascript program?How do I, by my javascript program, upload the input file and download the result file, all by my javascript program? I have not yet found neither relevant documentation, nor relevant code examples for my needs as I explained them above. For example, It'll help me If I knew how to do it for the "Easy Translator" example in https://playground.fmeserver.com

The server seems to send emails fine but when i setup a receive email topic, nothing happens. I looked at the publication log and nothing in the log that would reference receiving an email. Any idea on troubleshooting this. maybe i'm emailing incorrectly? or maybe the username in protocol isn't setup correctly? not how these should look since the example isn't clear.

i want to use symbology layer created using Arcmap in my FME model. Is there anyway i can accomplish this?

page https://playground.fmeserver.com/demos/has "Easy Translator" example with its code. I copied its workspace and want to publish it into my cloud and want to adapt the javascript example code accordingly. I request to get hints in order to understand what are the relevant pieces in the code that I have to adapt and how to adapt them. This will enable me to run any of my workspaces by javascript after I had uploaded them to my cloud. Help will be greatly appreciated. P.S. - importantNow I think maybe Upload File In Session is more suitable to adapt for my needs.

Hi,  I have a workbench that I have tested on fme desktop and works. I upload this exact workbench to the server and while it runs successfully it gives me a different output to that of the desktop version. I have not changed any parameters. Would anyone have an idea as to why this is happening or what is the best way to debug and fme server workbench if it is working correctly on desktop?ThanksB

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.

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.

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)?

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

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 ? 

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 

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!
