FME Flow

The FME Knowledge Center will be undergoing an upgrade on Tuesday, Oct 30 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. This will involve a site outage of about 30-60 minutes. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

We upgraded to FME Server 2018 last night and found that one of my process that outputs multiple files now makes a folder for each output versus on 2017 everything was in one folder called dataset. I did not change anything on process just upgraded to 2018. Thanks, Chad

I am using FME Server 2018 and FME Desktop2018. My goal is to get informed and run a workspace, if a change was made in a specific directory. The FME Server has no internet connection, so I need another solution than the email-notification. My plan ist to run a directory watch by the FME Server and trigger a workspace to start running on my FME Desktop, which opens a command line window with a message inside. The other workspace contains a geocoder transformer, so an internet connection is needed. As I mentioned the server has no connection to the internet, so it definitely has to be executed on the FME Desktop. Is it possible to run a workspace with FME Desktop, initiated by the FME Server? I thought I could add a network-based resource to get access to the .fmw, but in the subscription options I am only able to add workspaces stored in the repositories. Any ideas?

Hi, We have finally succeeded to configure Single Sign On properly on our FME Server. I assumed that opening the URL would lead me directly to my Home-screen (https://<my-fme-hostname>/fmeserver/#/home, but this was not the case, unfortunately. When opening the FME-Server URL, I get a proper Login Screen, where I explicitly need to press the button "Use Windows Credentials". Doing so, logs me in succesfully, so my assumption is that we have configured Single Sign On / HTTPS well... Now, my question: Is it possible to bypass this login screen and automatically log a user in when SSO is working fine? I have read the post from @jvt2, it looks like he is asking the same question, but the answer of @erik_jan doesn't give me the right answer, or Did I miss something? Regards, Frank van Doorne

When using a webpage to upload files to FME server, the files are put in a folder with the username of the fme token instead of the session ID retrieved from FMEServer.getSession() The directories based on session are being created, but the files are stored in the user directory (belonging to the token) instead. The file upload does succeed, the following translation fails because it tries to find the files in the session directory. Help!

I'm getting a notification that my license is about to expire and wondering why.

Can we access the published parameters in mail body when success topic raised for the topic is success or failure?

I set up a directory watch in FME server to watch changed shape files in a directory. Since each shape file has 7 components, updating one shape file will trigger 7 notifications, causing the subscribing workspace to run 7 times. I would hope the directory watch publication has an option to watch only ".shp" files so that each shape file change only triggers one notification. Any work around about this?

Backstory: For some reason the traditional ESRI solutions for doing this have failed to move the Attachments as well, so I wanted to see if I could use FME to do this. I have a SDE feature class with 43,000+ records and 84,000+ attachments. I have successfully used FME to write new features to an SDE Feature Class and add attachments at the time of writing. This however would be moving existing features and their attachments to a new SDE Feature Class in a different database. The thought would be to read (with the "Ignore Relationship Info" parameter disabled) the existing features, the attachment relationship table, and the attachments and then use the current origin and destination relationship ids as the values used as the temporary relationship ids when writing them as new features and attachments into the new location. Question: Has anyone attempted something similar? Second, the attachments are not being read. The feature and the attachment relationship table are read and contain

I am looking at running FlexLM on AWS to use our existing cloud infrastructure, but I am a bit concerned about the FME licencing server having issues when the virtual machine changes requiring a new .lic file. Is there a nice solution to running an FME licencing server on AWS, or will I be required to request a new .lic file whenever the hardware changes?

I am currently running FME, Windows Server, on an EC2 instance, build #16494. I am currently adding 32 FME Engines on Separate EC2 instances to increase my processing capacity, according to this recipe: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documenta... Question: Does FME server have the ability to Auto Spin up one, or multiple <engineHost> machines (These would be EC2 <engineHost> AMIs) as jobs enter the queue of the <coreHost>? That is, say I have 1 engine on the <coreHost>, and 5 jobs enter the queue. Can the <coreHost> launch one, or multiple, <engineHost> AMIs to process jobs in a queue? Such that, in this example, 5 separate <engineHost> machines would be spun up, 1 for each job in the queue. This is important for me, because it allows me to turn off the tap, and only pay for my EC2 instances on demand. Thanks.

need to use this link in My APP, how can I run the direct link without having to enter the username and PW, I assume this is using the guest user credential, Thanks

Hi all. I am trying to read a directory with many TIFF files, select the latest ones and copy or move them to a new directory. I read the files with a Feature reader using the Directory and File Pathnames format. The files got the date-time in the name so I use the Sorter to find the latest one and then I use the Sampler to select a few of them. Can someone advise me how to write them now in another directory? Many thanks

Hi, I wonder how I can control what type of Arc is created with GMLFeatureComposer. I have tried to convert every nativ IFMEArc to Arc by 3 points, by using a PathSplitter, GeometryFilter ArcStroker (number of interpolated egdes = 2) ArcEstimator-> now every Arc is IFMEArc Arc by 3 points. then I send them into the GMLFEatureComposer and output is: <gml:ArcByCenterPoint numArc="1"> <gml:posList>610994.229288738 6650770.14554273</gml:posList> <gml:radius uom="EPSG:25832">24.6290249574635</gml:radius> <gml:startAngle uom="degree">65.8899835987118</gml:startAngle> <gml:endAngle uom="degree">57.0505172196457</gml:endAngle></gml:ArcByCenterPoint> I want: <gml:Arc> <gml:posList>60.02 10.1 60.01 10.2 60.03 10.03 </gml:posList></gml:Arc> Don't mind the numbers its from 2 different examples. How can I control what type of arc is created?

My 1st time to use web socket data stream service. I use WebSocketReceiver to connect to a wss service. After using a JSONExtractor toextract the needed key/value pairs, I can write the data into an Oracle non-spatial table. The data has latitude/longitude, so I add a VertexCreator to create a point. But as I connect the VertexCreator to an Oracle SDE or File Geodatabase feature class, and run the workspace, the streaming goes on, but nothing happens in the writer, the feature class in SDE or File GeoDB is not created. No errors. I am pretty sure the lat/long values are valid. Any clues?

Hi, I'v downloaded FME Server 2018 (fme-server-2018.1.0.3-b18552-win-x64) but when I start the installation, after copying the files the setup process stalls (no progress) and stops half way. No errors/signals/etc. What's going wrong? My user is admin. Thanx in regards, Erwin

I have a desktop workbench that is using FMEServerNotifier to have server send emails as the last translation step. Aside from writing a shutdown script to POST the request to server, is there a way I can call FMEServerNotifier on translation failure? Maybe a Shutdown Notifier option is on the cards?? nb. I'm using desktop as I need the 32 bit version nnb. I can't get the desktop authorised to use the smtp server

Hi experts, I am currently looking at allowing my FME server jobs to write data into an access controlled UNC path. I had looked at the following documentations on the changing of the "user account" that is running the FME server instance.http://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/ReferenceManual/Directory-Account-Permissions.htm http://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Running_FME_Server_Engines_Under_Different_Account.htm The question is, in order for the FME server to function correctly, do I need to change the "user account" used to run the FME windows services for all the 4 services? FME Server Core FME Server Database FME Server Web Application FME Server Database Or will the changing of the "user account" used to run the FME Server Core will allow my jobs to write to a controlled UNC path with breaking any other connection? Thanks!

I am licensed for only one engine but a second engine is created automatically when I use FMEJobSubmitter. Is this normal? Does this count as using two licenses? If I run this job on a server that already has two engines will both licenses be in use? Thanks

Hi all, We would like to deploy FME Server and be able to read/write File Geodatabase and ArcSDE (ArcGIS Desktop 10.4) and Oracle spatial/non-spatial (Oracle 11). Both are currently 32 bit applications. I am not sure about FME Server 32 or 64 bit and compatibility with the formats we want to use.I did some research and came up with two deployment scenarios (single machine install): Scenario 1 - mainly 64 bit OS 64 bit Windows (as supported: https://www.safe.com/fme/tech-specs/) FME Server application 64 bit (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/112/which-version-of-fme-desktop-for-windows-should-i.html) FME Server Engine 64 bit Oracle Client 64 bit (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/163/oracle-clients-for-fme-running-on-a-64-bit-os.html) ArcGIS Desktop 10.4 32 bit with connection to floating license server (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/24153/using-fme-server-with-esri-software.html) Scenario 2 - mainly 32 bit OS 64 bit Windows (as supported: https://www.safe.com/fme/tech-specs/

Hello I receive this message by clipping a DWG. Is there any chance to find the element which is responsible for this? AutoCAD Writer: An error occurred for dataset 'XY.DWG', in function AutoCAD2004Writer::writeInsert. Exception thrown: 'Cannot transform by non-uniform scaling matrix' (Cannot transform by non-uniform scaling matrix) thx in advance regards alfred

I can receive emails at FME Server and trigger a specific workspace if I attach only one of each file type (DWG and PDF) in the same order (DWG before PDF) so that I can specify the published parameter for my SourceDataset_ACAD (which requires a single value) to be the email_publisher_attachment{0} and the published parameter for my SourceDataset_PATH to email_publisher_attachment{1}. However, I would like to be able to receive an email with any number of attachments, in any order, and filter and apply them correctly to their respective published parameters (potentially more than one DWG, but I would not know how many in advance and/or what order they were received to apply the correct list values). Any ideas or examples of similar implementations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'm setting up a dev server and wanted to import a certificate. I followed the steps but when i import keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore tomcat.keystore -file <name> I get an error "signed fields invalid". Also, because the IT Contracting agency manages the certificates they applied it to the server i needed to export the PFX file to use in the keytool script. Any thoughts???
