FME Flow

Hey everyone,I'm looking to add an attribute that will list the username of the last person who ran a specific tool. Can this be done in text editor? I have added a date via @Timestamp, but I cannot figure out how to show who the last person was that ran the tool. Any suggestions?Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

Hi AllI've built a workbench that generates an Excel file. What the end goal is to have this work bench accessible through a web page and allow the user to download the result as a .xlsx (not a zipped .xlsx).I've tried two ways to get this working:DataDownload This works however the .xlsx is returned in a .zipDataStreamer This method works when running the workbench from FME Server (a download window appears) but when using the JS API you simple get the .xlsx return as a string (like if you tried to open a .xlsx file with notepad). Myself and a colleague have tried a number of ways to get this working by playing with the parameters (specifically opt_response format). I've included the JS in its current state below...      <script type="text/javascript">    var repository, workspace        window.onload = function() {            FMEServer.init({            server : "

We have data intense rasterization workspace (which we can share via dropbox) using Mapnik. The workspace is run with Red hat 7 / FME 2017.1.1.1. The server has sufficient memory and cpu capabilities and it is working fine with smaller data sets. The desktop is also FME 2017.1.1.1 version and the fmeserver user has sufficient rights (root + https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/718/fme-server-troubleshooting-guide-testing-permissio.html ).Checked the logs and it reports "No message length returned in FME Engine reponse" and restarts. Can anyone help?

I have a problem in FME Desktop 2017.1. My company uses a custom certificate authority to monitor TLS traffic. In Desktop 2016, I was able to modify the cacert keystore in $FME_HOME\\jre\\lib\\security\\cacerts and add our root cert. After that FME viewed our custom CA as trusted. In 2017.1, that does not seem to be the case. I went through the same procedure and added the cert to that keystore - but 2017.1 no longer appears to respect that keystore (or the windows system root certificates, where it is also installed and fully trusted). Did something change in 2017.1? Am I missing anything obvious?

Hi folks, We are using FME Server 2017. I have setup a topic to receive Email, which tested successfully with notification. I also created a publication using above topic with protocol (Email SMTP). However, when I try to send email to this publication from outlook I received delivery fail message. IT has confirmed the port 25 is open.Delivery hasfailed to these recipients or distribution lists: A problem occurred during the delivery of this message. Microsoft Exchange willnot try to redeliver this message for you. Please try resending this messagelater, or provide the following diagnostic text to your system administrator.    Diagnostic information for administrators:Generatingserver: mx12.rta.nsw.gov.au #< #5.4.6 smtp; 554 5.4.6 Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop> #SMTP#Originalmessage headers:

When I download an FME script from FME Server, the Save local copy dialog defaults to the My Documents\\My FME Server Workspaces folder. I would rather have it default to a certain folder in my workstation. I don't see any setting in the options of FME Desktop 2016 that would allow me to do that. Is it possible?

When starting the FME Server core service, I get the following 1068 error:"Windows could not start Error 1068: The dependency or group failed to start" I've set all of the FME services to run as a service account, and when I swap it back to local system it's fine.

Hi,It would be useful to be able to change the color scheme of FME Server web interface, to quickly distinguish between DEV and PROD server.Thanks

Hi, me and @thomas_merkus have this simple question on configuring FME Server to receive e-mails. If we wanted to configure FME Server to receive mail, we end up with a notification content that possibly contains a reference to an e-mail attachment, which is stored somewhere on the local system. But if that attachment contains a virus, how secure is that? As a human it is possible that I recognize the danger and thus I do not open the attachment. But for a machine as FME Server is, that could be not as simple as that, so the question is: how can we ensure that FME Server is not storing malicious software on the local disk?

Hi! I am using FME Desktop 2016.1 to publish workspaces to FME Server. I found that after I change the log settings in Tools menu-->Translation (for example, change to only log errors) and republish the workspace to FME Server, the log obtained by running it from FME Server will be different.It seems a little bit odd to me, and I wasn't able to find help file about this after trying, so I just want to make sure I understand correctly the way it works: will the FME Desktop publish its desktop settings to FME server? or it is my misunderstanding?Thank you!

Hello,we used to deploy FME in silent mode using a so called NOVELL Zenworks Bundle. This worked fine up to version 2015. Since version 2016 we are having the following problems:1.) Novell Zenworks is not able to install the msi-file any more. It shows an undefined error.2.) Installing FME using msiexec on the client computer is possible in silent mode, but when you start FME the EULA-window and the FME Desktop Licensing Assistant window pop up, what we'd like to avoid because our students should no be forced to make any input in these windows.We use the parameters:qnINSTALLLEVEL 3ENABLE_POST_INSTALL_TASKS no Does anyone else have the same problem?Roland

I want to install the latest FME version, but (I assume to store temporary installation files) it tries to get acces to a location I do not have access to. I added FME_TEMP, but (for this purpose) does not make sense. Also modified TEMP and TMP environment variables to a directory I definitely have access to, but that also didn't help. Which environment variable is used to specify the temporary directory to store the installation files?

I have recently switched from a floating license to a fixed license and the licensing assistant is still picking up my old floating license. What can I do to resolve this?

I have several hundred jobs that I'm processing on FMECloud. The FMEJobSubmitter is set to 'Wait for job to complete: No" so I can take full advantage of 10 engines and the queue. After the JobSubmitter I have a FeatureHolder, then a Sorter (Descending by _Job_id), then a Sampler (First 1 Features) to get the last job "_job_id". When the last jobs arrive from the queue and run on the 10 engines the dataset for the last job is smaller and therefore finishes before the others, therefore the FMEServerJobWaiter sees the last job is Complete the workbench continues, although all the jobs are not really complete. If one could set the Priority in the FMEServerJobSubmitter via an attribute one could set the priority of the last job to be lower (ie. 101) than the others (ie. 100) forcing it to really be last.

Looking for some confirmation here:If I have set up a publication in FME Cloud to use the built-in SMTP email and send an email to it while it's paused it never gets delivered and thus the associated workspace never gets triggered, correct?

hey folks,https://fmeserver-eval-safe-software.fmecloud.comwhen attempting to send sockets to the FME Cloud eval, it will continually fail for local host on port 7078, which makes sense, cause I am using the trail version on the cloud, anyways does anyone know of a way to connect to the sockets through FME cloud?Thanks,Doug

Hello FME Community:When I create a new 'Author' role level user and grant it ability to access the Schedules page, the user is actually able to see the schedules created by all other users including Admin, from repositories that it should not have access to. When I click into one such scheduled task, some fields will be blank (due to no access), and the scheduled task details look 'incomplete'. It appears to be able to click on "Ok" and I'm not sure if that means it'll try to save the Schedule.I think it'd make more sense if a non-Admin user does not see schedules that it does not own, or at least have the ability to differentiate them and definitely not have the ability to click into them by accident. Or, if this is something that can be resolved by better configuration of the roles, please advise. I have been unable to find this in the Security tab.Thanks! Ray

Hello,  FME Server only seems to display a maximum of 100 scheduled tasks. We've got more than 100 defined so some are missing - is there any way to access these in the backend to edit them?  Thanks,  Peter.

I am getting 404 Error when I click on the zipped file in the email, while doing Directory Watch Publisher Tutorial (2016). I am using 2017 FME Server.

I just downloaded the FME Desktop Trial, but I didn't get my trial serial number to license the trial. How can I find it?

Hi All, Are there possibilities to specify a finite timeout for a job? I need to stop a job that is running and is never ended without using admin interface?  Thanks an advance; Farfar

I've heard of The Spatial Community Slack Channel and I know there is an FME YouTube Channel, but are there any other websites (forums, publications, etc.) that you frequent for sponging up FME knowledge or go to for FME help?

You've been asked to install FME Server. First question you ask yourself, what does the IT department want? Is it an Express Installation or is it Distributed or maybe Customized installation. Do I install an Express first and later reconfigure a distributed database? Do I use an FME Server System Share on the network or locally? What are the advantages? Do I need a new user for the FME Services. The questions go on and the options are many, often leading to more questions. There are many ways to install FME Server and we do our best to share the documentation and articles to try to highlight the more popular and supported installation options. Do we cover all your questions? I'm personally curious to learn our user experiences when they are approached to install FME Server in a new environment. Could we make your job easier? Do you have suggestions on how we might present the documentation differently to help you make the best decisions for the
