FME Flow

I have a workspace deployed on FME Server that takes a number of .jpg images and places a point, using image EXIF info, and creates an attribute with a link to the image. The destination file types are a shapefile and a KML. To create the link to the image I am pulling the filepath from the "fme_dataset" attribute. The issue is when I run this process on FME Server, using the Temporary Uploads/Upload File option, it reads the filepath from the temporary directory on the server where the image was uploaded to rather than the original image location.Does anyone have thoughts on how I can adjust the workbench or FME Server settings to retain the original filepath?Many Thanks, Dan 

If I wanted to know how the technical specifications for previous versions of FME (Desktop and Server), where can I find that information?

Is there a way to make FME Server move emails to a certain folder or even delete them once they have been read by the IMAP publisher?There is no such option in the publisher settings. Is there maybe a trick to do the same using a custom transformer?

Hi there,I want to trigger a workspace with the function FMEServer.submitJob, but get the a 422-error:with the response:What's wrong with the path? Do I have to escape those slashes?Cheers, Maria

I'm trying to install the 2018 version of FME on windows 10, but when I run it for the first time, it informs an error and says that it is searching for a solution and then closes itself.I have already cleaned up the HKEY_LOCAL records on Safe Software .... I reinstalled several times. I'm already an administrator of the machine. Can somebody help me?

Hi, I'm trying to run the JobHistoryStatisticsGathering workspace on FME Server and I'm having some trouble with security. When I try to run the workspace I get the following errors in the log:JobHistoryReader_HTTPCaller_2(HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'SSL connect error' JobHistoryReader_HTTPCaller_2(HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up JobHistoryReader_HTTPCaller_2(HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been enteredI enabled HTTPS when installing the server, so the URL the workspace is trying to initially connect to is HTTPS://{servername}:80/fmetoken/generateI've modified the HTTP_Caller client parameters in the JobHistoryReader component to turn off SSL certificate validation as per the tip in https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/55053/fme-server-troubleshooting-fme-server-dashboards.htmlbut it still isn't

I would like to run a simple command-line command in FME and output the text to an excel table.I want to runtaslklist /s SERVERNAME /fi "ArcSOC*" > c:tasklist.txt ...and then send the results into other transformers.How would I do this?

Hi,I have setup a really nice example of the data delivery on FME server using this example code - https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1117/data-distribution-with-web-maps.html. Ihave also made the guest account token the init for the FME javascript.I have setup a simple form to authenticate in the example the user using the token service however struggling to replace the init token with the users token when the FMEServer.runDataDownload method runs.Any attempt to overwrite the variable token resorts to running the job under the guest account.Any suggestions?Thanks

I am trying to view the list of completed JOBs in FME Server (Manage> Jobs> Completed) and the page displays the following error: Error: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 3 of document : Character reference "" is an invalid XML character. Nested exception: Character reference "" is an invalid XML character.  This error does not occur in the list of running or queued JOBs. I get the impression that there is some error in the file that lists the LOGs already finalized. Is this correct? What file is this?

Was sent a link to a Hack-a-thon page where someone had posted a workbench that lets you interrogate the FlexNet license manager. https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/59005/fme-challenge-12-days-of-fme-hackathon.html?page=2&pageSize;=10&sort;=newestI downloaded the workbench, but it's password protected. Does anyone have the password for workbench "FlexNetAnalyser.fmx?"

I have a repository inside of FME Server for a handful of users to access and run a couple of workbenches as needed. Is there a way to require them to input an email address prior to running the workbench so that they'll be notified of results when the workbench completes?  I can include an emailer transformer inside of the workbench and make their email address a required input, but I would prefer to utilize the FME Server notifications is possible

Hello,I'm looking to install FME Desktop on a Linux Deepin, but I'm having problems with broken dependencies and especially the libqt5core library . Are there other users who have been confronted with broken dependency errors? If so, how did you proceed?

I have a workspace with a custom transformer that contains GeometryValidator transformer. The transformer should check fme_geometry for basic geometry checks. The workspace works fine in FME Desktop when is run locally. When the workspace is loaded onto FME Server I get the above error message in the logger. Before hitting that transformer the native coordinates of the feature are converted from WKT (the format which enters the workspace) before that transformer (the GeometryValidator) I have also other checks that prevent the process to proceed if the WKT is empty or the area is smaller than a certain threshold, for some reasons when I test it with smaller areas or empty strings the transformer is called and produces the above error. Also, I tried to disable the GeometryValidator transformer but I still get that error, when the data does not even pass by that transformer. If I remove the transformer from the workspace and I upload it to server then everything works fine but I would ne

What happens when FME Server or the Service is offline for 4 hours. I assume the Directory Watcher on FME Server will be missing all file changes that happened in those 4 hours?

I didn't use to have any issues with this, but after switching to a new PC and upgrading to Win10 I'm having problems with the FME licence failing due to CRC-check errors. For some reason, my PC now has a different registration key (2-014-702-034) than it had a month ago (2-992-327-444) when I got my last license file. There are no hardware changes to the PC (a HP Zbook with docking station). So what is it that can affect my reg. key this way?

I have developed a workspace that makes a HTTP call then returns the parsed JSON response. It runs from FME desktop successfully, but when published to FME Server as a streaming service I get the following errors:Creator_CREATED Brancher -1 4(BranchingFactory): MAXIMUM_COUNT clause must specify an integer. Value 'None' is invalidMAXIMUM_COUNT clause must specify an integer. Value 'None' is invalidFrom the logs it's failing just initializing the workbook and before trying to connect and make the HTTP call. I was unable to find a similar error anywhere else.

Hi,I have just installed an FME Server 2018.0.0.2 and I had problems to detect the engines. I did some researchs and I suspect that the queue hostname is the responsible. During the installation, I set it to "mypcname".I saw in https://docs.safe.com/fme/2018.0/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Install-the-FME-Servers-Failover.htmthat we should mention "localhost".Is there a way to change this parameter after installing? I didn't find the file(s) where it is recorded...Do you know where they are?Thank you!

Good morning, When creating the publication, I select the smtp protocol and type in my email username. Then validate. for some reason, this is not working on my server. It confirmed the DNS. Any thoughts? It keeps telling me that it cant find the publisher. @LauraAtSafe , @RyanAtSafe.

Hi,our FME Server (2016.1.3.2 - Build 16717 - win64) fails when I click on Resources.A lot of time is spent waiting, and in the end I get the message that there are no files or folders.Also, top left corner says "Error communicating with server".I also tried the REST API (this endpoint: /resources/connections), which just hangs.Any suggestions will be much appreciated.ThanksMichael NeidhardtSDFE

Hi,we are trying to setup a readonly user in FME Server, which can see all repositories, resources and job status and corresponding job log information. But without any abilities to execute, delete or change something.I know FME has Guest user, but guest user can not see all jobs statuses and job log information.Are there any instructions that can help to setup such user?Thanks in AdvanceAlexander

Hi,I'm fairly new to FME so please bear with me.I have setup a workbench that that creates a simple HTML report (few stats from a MapInfo Tab) for a colleague. I am using "@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%B %d %Y" as my fanout parameter to name the html file by the date it was created each time the work bench is run. My emailer is setup with the body text as "Click <a href="$(DestDataset_HTML)">here</a>". Before I added the fanout option to name each output my hyperlink would link directly to the output file but since adding this it just links to the output folder. Can anyone tell me why that is and how I might be able to get around it?Cheers!Phil

Hi friends~,I have an Emailer transformer to send email as part of the processing.The parameter setup is as followss;- Email Service: Generic SMTP- Encryption: NoneNow it gives warning message as follows;Emailer: <class 'smtplib.SMTPDataError'>: (554, '5.5.2 No valid recipients').My understanding is that the relay server of the SMTP is in place.Any experience or suggestion would be appreciated.Thanks ~David

We are exploring real-time messaging capabilities of Apache Kafka on Heroku and came across the Amazon Kinesis Sender / Receiver. Does anyone have use cases for city data that they have used this service on? Work or asset management, or AVL / fleet?

Hi Folks,I am trying to connect with emailer with a very simple workbench basically, to test the emailer for now. I have filled in all the attributes and move ahead to Gmail Connection. When I allow access FME to read, write emails, it pops-up with a window "Web Service Connection" and asks to copy the code and switch the application and paste it there. I can't understand what exactly is 'switching the application' and what is the next step. I have shared the attachment.

I have a workspace that runs on FME server and watches a directory to process the incoming files.So far this works fine.With the help of FMEServerLogfileRetrievers I collect the log output of the conversion jobs, condense them and now have to send them via email. I have tested this with a (clarification: a different) workspace that runs as a job submitter, but it (clarification: the email sending through the workspace running as a notfication service) seems not to run as a notification service.While when uploading it as Job Submitter, I can select email [TEXTLINE] as Post Data,this is not possible with the Notifier:The __send_email Topic is tested and works.<a id="17351" href="/storage/attachments/17351-wkt-import-submitter.fmw">wkt-import-submitter.fmw</a>Have I omitted something obvious?
