FME Flow

Hi, The "Data Inspector" does not starting automatically anymore then "Connect Inspector" in FME Workbench ver FME(R) 2018.0.1.1 (20180615 - Build 18312 - WIN64). I have tried to uninstall and then install again... It is working if I click on "Enable Feature Caching" and then click on the "Click to inspect cached features". Then the Data inspector launches and is viewing the features. FME ver 2017 worked fine on my computer...And the inspector is not disabled and the job ended with "Translation was SUCCESSFUL". Best regards, Jonas

How many instances of the EMF can be run at the same time? I'm using Windows 2012 R2, and every time I open another instance of FME, it opens one that is already running. I can never open another instance. I'm using a temporary license on another machine, is it because of this?

I'm attempting to send an email at the end of a translation to notify the respective folks that the process has run. I'm getting an error: Emailer: <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. I've gotten the ip address and the port number with no encryption from the server guys. The machine that I am using for the script has been whitelisted with our SMTP server as well. This is to be used on a few different scripts, so really need to get this working. I have filled in the to, from, subject, and body of the 'email'. Using Generic SMTP as well. Granted, I am sending to myself, but will be in the long run anyway. Thanks.

Trying to set "WeekOfMonth" attribute for ALL features based on attribute "feature[-1]._4weekly_cycle" value, which today is "2". I am using the adjacent feature attributes capability in "AttributeCreator" transformer. Getting "Bad variant index in get" error in log file. If I set default value to "2", it works. Something not write with handling "feature[-1]._4weekly_cycle" value.

Hi there, We updated our FME Server to 2017 version a couple of months ago. I used to have a Master Workspace that control other process. In that Workspace, I set to run 6 others. I start runing 5 in parallel at the same time (5 different workspaces) and after it I put a FMEServerJobwaiter. So when all the 5 processes finish it start the 6, the last where I use the data created in the other 5. Now in 2017, it does not work anymore, the FMEServer only process one of the first 5, then when it get done it start another one (If I put parallel and set YES to wait) or put all of them to run at the same time if I put NO wait, but it also start the number 6 and it depends of the data of the first 5, so because of this I put a FMEServerjobwaitter before the 6 jobsubmitter because I just want that it start after the end of the other 5, but I want that the first 5 starts and run at the same time. Is it possible to achieve this?

Hello I need some help in configuring the directory, where my datadownload-service sends its zip-files to... can this be done on the workbench-level? Thanks!

I have set up a directory watch with fme-server ( something like https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/51817/directory-watch-publisher-tutorial-2017.html) Some data can not be processed by fme-server so I set up a time to cancel of 30 minutes. After this time the main workspace (convert.fmw) gets canceled but the subworkspace which normally gets calles by concert.fmw through a FMEServerJobSubmitter does not get canceled so these jobs fill up the job queue as "zombie"-jobs. Is there a way I can get rid of these zombie-jobs in the queue?

I am have been trying to stand up a FME Server Docker environment to migrate our current FME Servers setup too. I am using the 2018.1.0-20180801 image builds that include a Nginx container to handle SSL. I have also converted the provider docker compose yaml file to a Hashicorp Terraform configuration (as we use this technology for provisioning/orchestration). We have also made a few modifications to the FME Engine container so that a persistent Kerberos ticket is created on the container for authentication to our MS SQL Server databases. This issue I am seeing with both our modify FME Engine image and the default FME Engine image is that any active engine running on one of the FME Engine containers will eventually shut down. The FME Engine container will still be registered as an engine host with the FME Core but no active engines will be running on the FME Engine container (even though 1+ are requested). I can restart the engine service on the container, and it will appear as an acti

I have a job I have created in FME Desktop 2017.1 which processes a file, and I use a filecopy transformation to move the file to an archive folder once it has been processed. The job uses two parameters, one for the working folder and one for the archive folder. I have published the job to an FME Server (version 2017). When I run the job manually from the Server from the "Run Workspace" page the job runs correctly. However, when I schedule the job to run automatically it fails at the filecopy transformation, it is treating the file differently. This is a screenshot of the FME job, showing the two published parameters, and how the filecopy transformation has been configured. The job starts with a Path transformation which is populated from the [INPUT_FILE] parameter. Below is a screenshot of the job running as scheduled, the errors are shown in red. Here is the same job running, the only difference being I ran it from the “Run Workspace”. Any pointers/suggestions are extremely grateful

Hello, In FME Desktop I request with a REST API my FME Server schedule and I have CRON expressions for some workspaces. I want to create a calendar with the results, so I would like to have date values for the workspaces scheduled with CRON expressions. How could I interpret easily those expressions into FME Desktop? Thanks!

Hi all, I encounter an issue with topic on FME Server: I have one workspace (the controller) that triggers another (the worker) via a jobsubmitter. The worker posts on the topic "reporter_database" in case of success. It sends some json code. Case 1: When I run the worker via the controller, the topic is not "activated". Case 2: If I launch the worker directly via the web browser interface, it runs correctly and activates the topic. I remarked there was a difference between the two approaches (see picture). On the rigth (case2), there are some FME Directives and Notification Manager Directives while there is nothing on case1... Does someone have an idea how I can solve the case 1? Thank you ! Laurent

We have 2 floating licenses FME desktop in use. During the night we run workbenches on two servers. Normaly no problem but now we get licensing errors. Is it possible to show a logging file of the license usage during a certain period?

But I want to get email address automatically from user login. We are using LDAP. Thanks Regards Muqit Zoarder

I am look at installing the Floating License Utility "Floating License Installer for Windows 64-bit build: 11.15" and would like to know whether it is supported for install on Windows Server 2016? I can't seem to find any pre-requisite doco for this. Cheers,

I am attempting to use FME to automate the process to create and upload data into our Socrata Open Data account. I have been following the details in this guide: https://dev.socrata.com/blog/2014/10/09/fme-socrata-writer.html and other similar demonstrations from SAFE software. I am receiving a consistent error within FME which states 404, 'User not found' when the browser login credentials for Socrata are provided. This error is generated when trying to create a new dataset and when updating an existing one on Socrata. I have noted that the FME output states that it is using an app token which is different to the app token which is generated in the associated opendata.socrata.com account. I have not been able to locate any options to correct the app token. Another user identified the same issue here: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/3557/socrata-writer-app-token.html although understanding was that app tokens were not required for the HTTP Basic authentication which the FME writer

Hi I am using an incoming email with attachment to trigger a workbench. An email with a 46mb attachment was rejected - can anyone advise on the maximum allowable file size for incoming email attachments? I can't find this in the documentation. Can this limit be configured to allow for larger files? Thanks.

I have an FTPCaller configured and attempting to download a file from an FTP site. I've installed the certificate on the machine that I am running this workspace. I receive an error stating: <HEAD><TITLE>FTP Error</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="white" FGCOLOR="black"><H1>FTP Error</H1><HR> <FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial"><B> Description: Policy requires SSL. </B></FONT> <HR> <!-- default "FTP Error" response (502) --> </BODY> I setup a site in Filezilla (same machine) and it works fine. Any thoughts? @takashi

Good morning, I am having a problem running a workbench on FME server. I receive an error code that says "File C:\\Program Files\\FME\\metafile\\searchEnvelopeNative.fmi could not be opened". The workbench runs fine on desktop but not on FME server. FME Server is running on a build of 2018.1.0.1 Build 18528 and FME Desktop is 2018.1.0.0 - Build 18520. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, David Prosack

I am trying to publish a workspace to FME Sever with the ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) Reader and when I run the process it gives me the following errors: 1. The Esri Product license used by this machine does not include licenses for the 'Advanced' licensing level. 2. Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This is a 64-bit version of FME which requires a 64-bit version of ArcGIS Server. Or download and install a 32 bit version of FME. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details Do I need to install an advanced license on the server or is it missing DLL files that I can load on the server with the FME process? Thanks, Chad

Assume we have a well populated PostGIS database with lots of metadata about raster and feature based data. (we are using FME Server, to farm the cloud and other sources and build the PostGIS database). Now we need a friendly user interface for search and download.What open source technologies would one use to create a end-user friendly catalog search and download system (web based). Something similar to what is located at: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset (I realize they just provide pointers to the original source, we would be caching the rasters and the feature in a datalake, and using PostGIS for the catalog/index) yea, the data.gov uses ESRI, but let's take that off the table.) If I had to do it by hand, I would use Leaflet or OpenLayers, but since this is such a common need, I wonder if someone has not already put that together).

Hi I have a workspace on FME Server (Cloud) which currently uses the data download service. It requires the user to upload a .csv and a .pdf, then it runs a translation and delivers a .kmz and a folder of geoTIFFs. I'd like to run this workspace using a call to the REST API. I'm struggling to figure out how 2 files can be uploaded as part of the same SUBMIT call. Assuming I can do this, will the call still trigger a data download? Or will I need to write to a shared resource folder? Any help appreciated, thanks.

I have loaded FME 2018.1 64 bit and need to add attribute indexes after loading a filegeodatabase. This can be done with an (existing) shutdown python script. As long as the python compatibility is set to 2.7 or 3.4+ to get rid of the FME warning. The script needs to be python 3 which simply requires brackets around any print statements. But now that FME calls the newfangled ArcGISPro 64 bit arcpy libraries I have to log in the the Esri Portal first. How can I do this from FME? (I did find a workaround by simply starting up ArcGIS Pro which requires a Portal login and then it did run successfully) I tried arcpy.SignInToPortal_server("username","password", "") but that function was not found. Besides imbedding the credentials in the script is not ideal.
