Welcome to your weekly FME news update! 

FME 2020.2 is now live!

Last week we launched FME 2020.2. This release is a smaller release in terms of new functionality, but we spent a lot of time building the framework for some epic things for 2021! Watch the highlight reel to see some of our favorite things in this release or read all about them in the blog post or on the new features page. Download the latest version from our website. 

Personally, my new favorite feature is failed ports on Automation triggers in FME Server. Now you can send an email or execute other tasks to let you know your trigger failed. 

FME Server Dashboards - Feedback wanted!

Do you use FME Server Dashboards or another reporting tool to monitor activity on your FME Server? If yes, we’d love to hear from you. Please fill out this Google Form - it should take no longer than 5 minutes. Survey closes November 27th. 

Coordinate Systems blog post

Have you ever wondered about the difference between a projection and a coordinate system? Jenna wrote an awesome blog post explaining coordinate systems, which honestly explains this topic better than some of our college courses. Read the Coordinate Systems 101: The Basics crash course. 

FME Pricing

FME Server Tip of the Week

To create an FME Server Schedule that runs on a random interval, you need to use the REST API to replace a scheduled task. This is done with PUT /schedules/<category>/<name> in the HTTPCaller and the RandomNumberGenerator. For more details on how this is done, check out Mark’s new Expert Note.
