FME Flow

I scheduled a job to run, but say when the job is scheduled to run FMEServer is off (someone turned off AWS instance). Will the missed scheduled job run when that AWS instance with FMEServer is turned back on? Is it possible to set up FMEServer try to run all missed scheduled jobs on start-up? Or can FMEServer alert us to which scheduled jobs were missed?

We have had FME 2017.1 Server in place for over 6 months but hold off setting up receiving emails forwarded from MS Exchange server. Our company recently migrated to the Office 365 Exchange. Is that any documentation on how to set up email forward from 365 Exchange to FME server? The email receive notification on the FME server is one of the primary reasons we use FME server for.

I am the author of SQLiteSorter on FME Hub. I posted an update to the transformer about a week ago, and the test driver workspace I included passed. Then I looked today and the test driver reports failure. I think I've figured out why: The test driver workspace still referred to the old version of the transformer, without my improvements. And it was passing, so I figured I got it right. However, once I updated the transformer reference version, it started failing on a stupid Python typo. Whoops!I've since fixed the transformer, updated the test driver to test the new version, and uploaded everything to the Hub. But I never saw an email from Hub last week to let me me that it started failing, even though I'd already set up for email notifications of that very event in my Hub/Ideas profile. And, of course, the Hub test passed when I uploaded it last week, so I thought it was working even then. :-/Does anyone know if there a way I can notify the users of the transformer

I have a whole solution that is working well in FME Svr/Desktop 2017.0. I want to replicate it in 2016 (FME Svr 2016.1.3.1 / Desktop 2016.1.2.1) . I have a main workspace with Job Submitter and Notification services enable (I manage the notifications on job completion only in the Notfication service)The problem is when I'm publishing my main workspace on FME Svr 2016, the protocol in Notifications/Subscriptions is set to "push". It should be set to "workspace" to take over correctly the e-mails feedback (I previously set a IMAP Publisher with a generic address to trigger replies on the data process). When I initiate the process (send email with data to load) in 2016, I receive nothing while the expect results (in 2017) are to get a reply whatever if the data loading was a success or a failureso this is why I suspect there is something wrong in the settings. Any ideas? or do you know if there was some kind of improvements from FME Svr 2016 to 2017 which prevent m

This should be done with the kmlpropertysetter in the workspace but it is not working, my version of FME is 2017.1.2.1 This is a part of the fme-desktop-basic-training-2017 what is wrong?

Hi Team Fmeiers, I wanted to change the publish parameter value in fme server for each run. for example existing system we have is:fme desktop,in my fmw file the buffer value is published. and every time i run thru batch file, i can change the buffer values by editing batch file.fme.exe c:\\temp\\create_road.fmw --buffer 50fme.exe c:\\temp\\create_road.fmw --buffer 100fme.exe c:\\temp\\create_road.fmw --buffer 150here the bat file calls the same fme workspace three times with different buffer values.calling this batch file windows scheduler , three different time intervals.  upgraded to fme server 2017Now, this fmw file is published in fme server and this job is scheduled in server three times a weekhow can I achieve the same task using fme server.  your help will be appreciated. 

Hi,  I have a process running on FME Server 2014 SP4 win32. It includes a notifier in the process and a notifier on failure.  I've seen now that the notifier in the process is logged with an error. This is correct because invalid credentials were provided. So in this case the on failure notifier should start when tha translation is finished but the logs says that the translation was succesful (with 16 warnings but now errors). So the log contains an error but still says "translation was successful".  Any ideas on this?  

I am trying to read data from a shared drive into a PATH reader on server and keep getting "Could not find folder'I have checked permissions on the server, i have the services with the right permissions, i have even tried adding the shared drive as a resource but that fails too.I can login to the actual server and i can map the drive and see the data so i have no idea what i can do now.can the PATH reader see shared drives?I am also using UNC paths.

  Thanks Safe  

Hi,after the FME Server 'Express' on linux centos 6.9 installation we have this output messages: Setting up Database...cp: cannot stat '/etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf': No such file or directory sed: can't read /etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf.tmp: No such file or directory.We have check the install.cfg file for verified the installation data and all seems correct. We have forced the start of DB with the scripts but the output is:./startDatabaseServer.sh LOG: skipping missing configuration file "/etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.auto.conf" pg_ctl: directory "/etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data" is not a database cluster directory We have any suggestions?

Is there a way to extract a JSON list of the jobs that have been canceled or failed? I can only really see a list for jobs that are either queued, running or completed? Ideally this would be great if this could be accessed via the REST API

I have few handful of workspaces (consuming job submit and data download services) that are initially setup without any email notification. Is there a way to modify the published workspace in FMW server to setup with email notification upon job submit fail and donwload fail?When you publish a new service and setup email notifications while assigning the services, it works!! But i want to change the settings for existing workspaces.Thanks in advance!

Hi,I have created a longitudinal section as illustrated in the screenshot. The customer now would like me to change the direction of the stationing (running from right to left instead of running from left to right.)The basis for the creation is a 3D polyline. Is there any quick and smart way to accomplish it?

I'd like to publish a user account of an FME Server under my management, in order to allow some clients (Desktop users) to try FME Server quickly even without signing up either FME Server Trial or FME Cloud. However, I don't want to allow them to change password by themselves. Is it possible?

Currently, we noticed that the scheduled job in FME Server is consuming an extra FME license. This happens when the FME Script contains an FMEJobSubmitter. We can see that another fme.exe process is available in the Windows Task Manager aside from the other 4 allotted for the FME Engines. This should not happen.

We're currently testing FME Server 2018.0 - Build 18265 - win64, and upgrade every transformer in Workbench before publishing. Because of some Python functionality that require Python 3.4+ or newer, we set 3.6 in all workspaces under 'Translation parameters'. Everything works fine on desktop. On server, however, the Emailer fails with message: Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named '_socket' PythonFactory failed to load python symbol `Emailer.Emailer' Factory proxy not initialized Most other transformers work well on server with 3.6+ set in the workspace, but in order to get Emailer to work, we have to switch back to 2.7.

I have a lot of scripts that all write to point feature classes in a 10.4.1 SDE Database in SQL Server 2012.  The source comes from one of 3 databases types, SQL 2012, SQL 2014, or Oracle 11G.  They all are the same as far as errors go so either it's my SDE or FME itself.I even inspected everything I could and on a few I did get error while running and cleared up those small data issues, but they all produce the same error codes on crash dialog box I show at the bottom of this post when I close the Inspector app.I have tried to redo from scratch a few of my scripts but they ALL are crashing like I show below.  I am using the latest version 2017.7.27.17725, I had 2017.7.27.17539 and it did the same exact thing and I thought upgrading would do the trick, but no....  I have redone all my readers and writers, fished through all my data and data types, redone queries, redone my writer feature classes in my SDE, and even filtered the coordinates to fit in the state because we are using UTMs

I am configuring a new installation of FME Server 2017 and have set up a reverse proxy for web access. I have been following this link which is based on FME Server 2015: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/876/use-a-reverse-proxy-with-fme-server.htmlI am at the stage of configuring the email subscriber:Open the Web Admin Interface > Notifications > Subscriptions > Email_JobSuccess > Configure,In the Email Template, replace {urlPrefix} with {ResultPrexfix}.Under subscriptions I see:DataDownload_Email_JobSuccessJobSubmitter_Email_JobSuccessMigration_Email_JobSuccessI cannot locate {urlPrefix} in the data download subscription email template, there is however {downloadUrl} - do I need to change this?

HiI want to use FME Server to work with data from Database (DB1) and Fileshare (FS1) and transform them and place in Database (DB2) and Fileshare (FS2). All Source and Destination resources are located on different, separate machine. Do I need to run FME Server services (FME Serv App Server, FME Serv Core, FME Serv Database, FME Serv Engines) on such user account which has an access to all resources DB1, FS1, DB2 and FS2?

Hi There are 4 sevices on FME Server - FME Server Application Server, Core, Database, Engines. Is there any required order of services running, e. g. when the whole machine is restarting?

Hello!In FME Server 2017 when I create a publication with the directory watch protocol, there is a poll interval that let me choose how often I want to verify my path. If I put 1 (or any number) a hour or day or week, is there a way for me to know the exact time FME will proceed to this verification?If I put 5 a week, how does FME manage the verification? 7 days divided by 5?Would it be possible to create our own schedule? With CRON expression available, like in the workspace scheduler.I read this but nothing about the time : PollThanks a lot.
