FME Flow

License server runs on a Windows machine. We have 20 floating licenses. When a user tries to borrow a license from within Workbench we get the following message (both on pc and Mac)

Just out of interest: How does FME detect, that a directory has changed? Does it store the information about the files in the directory at a given time in a file? So that when the directory watch is triggered it can compare the new informations of the files in the directory at that time to that file?Or how else does it keep track?Thanks, Vera

Hello, I've updated FME server V2018 to V2019.2.3Unfortunately nou the scheduling does not run. There are no scheduled tasks in the que.If I manually start a job at the server it appears in the que but does not run at all.Wich services are responsble for the schedular. Do they have to run with SYSTEM?Or do all the services have to run with SYSTEM? thanks for your reply 

Hello,Trying to combine log files that are created from workspaces that are being executed via an automation/schedules in 2019.2.Any thoughts please? Thanks!

Hi All,We're looking at setting up a PostGIS database on a PostGIS database sitting on an AWS Serverless RDS and are unclear whether our desktop FME will be able to successfully interact with it.Our main concern is with some of our existing FME workspaces that we would want to read from the PostGIS database, process for 2-3 days then write the output back to the database. During this processing we'd expect the AWS Serverless RDS to switch itself off as all the processing is happening on my desktop, but will FME "wake-up" the Serverless RDS when it's time to write to the database? Cheers Rich   

Was previously running Windows 10 Pro build version 1809, until yesterday when Windows decided to update me from build version 1809 to build version 1903. This update seemingly has deleted FME Desktop application, though the other FME application such as Data Inspector and Quick Translator are still present.I launched FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 and tried to enter in my Home Use License serial number into the Single-Fixed-License field. But it returned this error.""Invalid trial activation codeThis trial activation code has already been used to generate a license. If you wish to obtain a new trial activation code, please visit www.safe.com/trial."" The license is valid for another two months. So my license isn't expired either. I also tried pointing the FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 to C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses since the license file still exists. That returned "License not valid on this computer" So I'm at a total loss, any

Hello, I have fme server and and engines on two different machines in a distributed environment. I am trying to query the underlying postgres database directly through toad datapoint. It seems I need to connect to port 7082. I have not figured out the server name and location however. DataPoint is on my local box not on fme server.

Hi all,  I have noticed every few hours the token on my topics webhook keeps changing, which causes the webhook to no longer fire. I have tried to set the token to one i have generated in the account that lasts for several years, but this still does not work. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hello, While configuring a license from the command line, I found this article.Only, I couldn't get it to work.The problem is, that you have to use fmelicensingassistant_cmd.exe in all cases. (Not just fmelicensingassistant)Could you please update your documentation accordingly?And maybe explain that you can retreive the license type bij running the --query command line. Kind regards,Fabian HofmanAxians

We are trying to connect to a JMS queue. We have a URL and EntityPath, SharedAccessKeyName, SharedAccessKey and using service bus explorer we can connect using HTTPS (it translates to an sb;// in explorer) I've tried adding the whole url string with parameters to the jms receiver Provider URL and tried with just the URL and the 3 parameters in the "additional provider properties" (comma separated on separate lines) in both cases it fails with"org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory" ...javax.jms.JMSException: Could not connect to broker URL: <<url>>Reason: java.io.IOException: Failed to perform GET on: <<url>> as response was: Not FoundFailed to connect to JMS provider with url <<url>> and initial context "org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory"Has anyone got an example of successfully making this connection, is there some detail of the transformer parameters which I am missing? thank

I am really new to FME. I need to move spatial data (both topology and attributes) from Smallworld to Azure postgre.postgis. Additionally, I also need to take care of the "delta" data moves (incremental updates). Pls let me know your inputs. 1. Is an intermediate XML unavoidable? 2. Is it a plain lift & shift or should I be concerned with Data Modelling?

Hi,I have a client who has no troubles installing FME 2018.1.2.0 (build 18590) in A Citrix environment. He tries to upgrade to 2019.0 (build 19238) and get a error message:I have not had the time to troubleshoot too much, anyone seen similar and knows what might cause this problem?

@DeWetAtSafe: I found your archlinux package of fme desktop 2017 at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fme-desktop-2017/I tried to re-pack fme desktop 2018 using the files for 2017 as a template, albeit unsuccessful.Would it be possible that you create a package for the fme desktop 2018, too? That would be most helpful!

Some really weird has happend to my Win-10 enterprise PC: Starting FME workbench 2018.1.1.2 fails with the "LibraryLoad failed with error 87" error message. Has anyone else had to deal with it? By googling it seems to be a generic windows issue. I can't find any FME - specific discussions about this error.My theory is that some windows upgrade has broken my FME installation.Happy for any help. If I find a solution I'll post a followup.

We have FME 2018.1 when you choose “Use system proxy settings” it uses the system proxy ok, but it ignores any exceptions you may have set in Internet Options e.g. for local addresses that don’t use the proxy. The work around I have at the minute is to add each individual server on our local domain to the Custom Proxy Map in FME Preferences as having No Proxy however I can’t use a wildcard to do this the same way it is in the Internet Options exceptions list e.g. server1.domain.com rather than *.domain.com. Is this by design? Exception list in Internet Options Proxy Window and use System Settings in FME 

Hi, This seems like a bug in FME 2017.1. I'm reading AutoCAD Object Data in FME Workbench and Inspector. Either one of them says this particular version of DWG file is Release2018. Opening a file in notepad you can clearly see the version is 2013 (corresponds with AC1027 code of dwg file). I want to ensure to write to same version as I've read my file. This is a problem since it never writes to version 2013. (It forces version 2018)   Cheers,Zelimir 

Hi,using FME 2019.1.2 (32bit) I encounter the following issue:Data Source is an ESRI FileGDB. Table 1 - has a GlobalID column and content is shown with braces in FME- has GUID column referencing GlobalID in table 2 and content is shown without braces in FMETable 2 - - has a GlobalID column, content is shown with braces in FME Now, when I want to merge both tables with FeatureMerger (tab1.Guid = tab2.Globalid) no features are merged.If I add braces to the GUID column features will be merged in FeatureMerger.As far as I understand GlobalID and GUID are the same data type in ESRI - so why are the shown / treated differently in FME? I'm aware of this posting about missing braces - but in the situation I described above its not just a display issue.It seems to me that GlobalID have braces in FME whereas GUID dont. And that prevents merging (joining) both tables easily. Rob       

Hello Team,  we recently installed FME server 2019 and now we are trying to configure license which we got through . While uploading the safe.lic file we are getting error message like not a valid file. Then i change the file extension to .fmelic and tried to upload it this i am getting following error, could somebody assist me to fix this issue. 

Anyone who has an idiotproof guide to how I change the default port numbers for FME server docker install into else than 80 or 443? I plan to run this on a linux server with loads of other stuff, including a web server on port 80. Lots of other stuff that breaks if I put FME server on port 80. I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this use case... I am quite baffled that port number this isn't a parameter in the installation script.

I need to transform multiple files through ESRI Reprojector CustomTransformations, but now neither fme server nor FME Workbench 2019 can recognize * .tfg
