After upgrading ArcGIS from 10.7 to 10.8.1, we no longer can see FME Extension for ArcGIS in the Integration Console as an option. We are on FME2019, build 19617. We have tried installing/reinstalling both ESRI and FME in different orders, but with no luck. Both are 32-bit installations. Is this extension in 2019 supported by 10.8.1, or would we need to upgrade to FME2020?
We are trying to use FME Server/Desktop to achieve the following:1. Intercept Survey123 submissions using webhooks - this works well.2. Conditionally send an email containing submitted data - this works as well.3. Include any photos attached to the survey submission - this part we can't get to work. Most submissions do not include photos. We are novices with FME.Surely someone has had this requirement before. If so, can you please share your solution?
We are getting ready to start using AD authentication with FME Server, so when a user changes their AD password, do they need to manually update it in the FME Server connection, or does that synch somehow with Active Directory ?
I am looking for a good/best-practices example python script the can check for a token for the user, if not valid will request one and then execute a set workspace. Anyone have anything they are willing to share?
In order to control the file system size I have setup a automatic System Cleanup that works on one of our custom shared resources. This was setup a couple of days ago, but it seems that this process was not run. Is there a place where I can see the System Cleanup runs? Neither in the logs or jobs could I find any reference to this.Is there a setting at what time of the day this is run?What privileges are needed for the service to delete the files?What defines the filesystem user for, for example, the "fmeupload" files?I have used the following System Cleanup task definition, which should be run every day. However, in the folder structure I can see folders and files older than 1 month already. UpdateAfter restarting the FME Core, it now correctly logs the event of checking if it can delete the logs once every day. It however does not delete the logs. It looks like that all the files are owned by "root:root". Not something I would expect from a service ran by "f
Hi everybody, where can I find (ad eventually set) the hostname FME Server uses when sending e-mails? Thanks!
Why can a workspace started in automation not find a path, when the workspace itself run by hand works fine. I have a workspace that is working fine and runs data from a certain path as shown. So the reader is configured correctly.And when starting the workflow the file path is correct.Now when the same workspace is triggered by the automation flow it can't find the file anymore, because a backslash has been dropped from the path?And this continues for all the readers?How is this possible? I tried to change the monitored path of the automation flow but the end result is the same? The path is highlighted in yellow, and after this a backslash should be present but now it inserts the filename directly. When I open the workspace mentioned in the automation, the path is the one with thhe missing backslash at the end of the path name.When I repelace all the entrys here with the correct path with backslash it is working. So when changing a workspace, should you remove all workspaces in a
A package in the form of a fpkg file was installed during the upload of a new workspace. How can the package be uninstalled from FME server
I have a workspace that takes one published parameter to run through. I want to set up a FME server weekly automation, and each weekly run includes running the workspace multiple times, each with a different parameter value. The parameter values are stored in a text file. Seems to be simple? But I can't think of a good way to do this. Still new to the FME server automation. I am using FME 2019.2.1, both desktop and server.
The default position is center screen for the logo on server apps. I was wondering if it possible to move it left aligned for branding continuity Thank you very much
Hello, I've tried to set up everything that FME Knowledge offers. Still I can't seem to configure my gmail account to trigger an automation on incoming mail. I've tried configuring 2-step verification and/or sign in from less secure app. Message in log of automation is: Failed to connect to email server. Please check IMAP settings and insure IMAP is enabled for the email account. Error message: null IMAP settings are good and IMAP is enabled for my account. Has anyone had a similar problem that you managed to solve? I'm using FME Server 2019.
Hello FME Community! In my company, we have several workspaces which run on a regular interval. Some are simple schedules and most are inside automations also triggered by schedules. The goal is to inform specific people inside my company via email if a workspace failes to run on the server. Up to now, we have implemented topics and subscriptions to those topics that people get emails. However, since the email, triggered from a topic, does not contain any information about the workspace which failed inside the automation, I am not sure if this is the way to go. I also thought about sending emails directly from the automations. But since it does not offer any templates, I have to fill the email content manually (considering that multiple people receive the email, it requires quite some manual effort). Could you offer me some guidance, or best practice how to implement a notification service that is suitable for our need? Thanks, Johanna
Hi all; I just started learning fme server. I want to create a web service using the rest api. I want to show the data in my database as json. Is there a sample application? What are the fme server settings? Thank you.
When I try to upload any file using the Web interface I get an error message. I have attached the screenshot here. Any suggestions? FME Server 2020.1 Build 20614
I am running FME Server 2020.2 and have an automation setup for email polling (IMAP) that triggers a workspace when new emails arrive. For whatever reason when a new email arrives, FME Server passes an empty email.body key and stores the text in the email body as an attachment. This inbox is a shared inbox in Office365. Any ideas as to why it would be parsing the email body as an attachment? Here is an example of the FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE: { "email.to": "REDACTED", "email.subject": "OPUS solution : JTT_PECOS_1.20o OP1606798966776", "email.attachment": "C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\emailattachments\\20201130230450-OPUS_Result_Parsing-OPUS_solution__JTT_PECOS_1.20o_OP1606798966776\\attachment_0", "email.received": "Mon Nov 30 23:04:50 CST 2020", "source": "imap", "time": "2020-11-30T23:05:49-06:00", "email.from": "opus@ngs.noaa.gov", "email.sent": "Mon Nov 30 23:04:45 CST 2020", "email.attachments": "C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server
Hi, this is not the kind of question one wants to ask, since it seems almost unethical to demolish a really lovely product, but has anyone ever had any ideas on a stresstest for FME Server? A workspace that eats every bit of memory on a 64bit system, or that fires new jobs every milisecond, or poking around diffent file contents on the harddisk? Put the FME Server postgres database under a ddos attack? Or anything else that tries to - respectfully said - 'break it down'?
Hello everyone! My company is looking into utilizing SAFE's Augmented Reality tools! We are currently testing the application and are working on becoming familiar with the process at hand. I am attempting to create a "mock" workflow using Mr. Dmitri Bagh's 'City of Coaquitlam' model as my basis. I created a small google document that will show a single buried cable that I generated in ArcMap. However, I keep failing at the end of the workflow. Making it to the 'bufferer' tool before the 3D forcer and extruder. We will want to look at larger datasets in the future, and I figured this workflow may be the best to accommodate. I have generated smaller AR models with using the methods found in the '3D Buffered Pipeline' examples. But struggle to generate large scale systems. In that workflow, I am also unable to anchor the gas pipe sample, and scale to an appropriate size/show at ground level. I will attach my workspaces. Would anyone have any tips
Hello, I would like to run a workbench via Python. The workflow within the script is always the same. Only the input and output directories change.For this purpose I have written a function and call it accordingly.def fme_workbench(workbench, argument): FME_command = '"C:\Program Files\\FME\\fme.exe" ' + workbench + ' ' + argument result = subprocess.Popen(FME_command) result.wait()argument = '--Name_Veg4m_umhuellend "' + str(kachelnummer) + '_veg4m_hull" --Name_Veg4m_Loecher "' + str(kachelnummer) + '_veg4m_holes" --SourceDataset_ESRISHAPE_5 "' + os.path.join(output_dir, str(Mission), 'Lidar_RAW', str(kachelnummer), 'Output\\*.shp') + '" --FEATURE_TYPES "" DestDataset_ESRISHAPE "' + os.path.join(output_dir, str(Mission), 'Lidar_RAW', str(kachelnummer), 'Output') + '"' fme_workbench(os.path.join(script_dir, 'EB_0_Aufbereitung_klassierte_Vegetation.fmw'), argument)the following variables are dynamic and can change:kachelnummerMission calling the Workbench f
I've just been thinking about required permissions for a project I've been working on. The initial workspace is triggered via REST call (jobSubmitter). Depending on success or failure a topic gets triggered which may fire a subsequent workspace. In one of these workspaces it needs to access the FME job history data via a rest call. I've set up a web connection. My question is, does the initial token I use for the JobSubmitter need to have access to the job table (and web connection)? or are permissions used based on the owner of the subscription workspace or the subscription itself? Any best practices here?
Hello,FME Server 2019.2 build 19801 running with FME CloudI think that these two settings for a Trigger in an Automation configuration should be equivalent, but the left setting - Schedule Type "Basic" didn't trigger any action actually, whereas the right setting - "Repeat On Interval" is working as expected.Am I missing something? Or it was a defect on the "Basic" type and has been fixed already in a newer version?
Hello, I created a workspace to stream data to my PowerBI client through a webhook. This works fine in 1 project but in my new it doesn't work. The workspace comes in jobs > running and when it's done the job just restarts. Thus no data is being streamed to my Power BI client. Server version: FME Server 2019.2.3 Build 19822 - win64 Am I missing something here? Edit: The webhook works just fine :)
Hi! I’m Holly, one of the FME Server Technology Experts at Safe Software. I’ve been a member of the Customer Success team since June 2018 (Wow I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already!).

My role consists of providing technical support, primarily for our FME Server product, through a variety of platforms including Cases, Live Chat and the Community. You’ll find my name behind some of the Knowledge Base content and if you tune into our live training or webinars you may catch me here as well. Essentially I exist to help you get the most out of FME! Away from my desk (now dining table) you'll find me out exploring the beautiful areas surrounding Vancouver that I’m lucky enough to call home.
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.
