General

I have an existing workspace that uses 2 feature writers to create a single excel output file. The first feature writer creates the file and writes data, the second feature writer adds additional data to the same file. [Yes, I needed to use 2 feature writers because data is written to the same sheet but in different locations on the sheets.]The target spreadhseet uses a template.I also have a parameter(s) to set the file name- $(tgtFileLoc)\\$(tgtFileName).xlsx If I run the workspace from a server App as a 'job submitter' it works as expected. A single file is created with all the data and the file is renamed.  If I run the workspace from a server App as 'data download' I receive a single file with only the information from the second feature writer, the file is not renamed, and the template information is missing. Why was the file not renamed?Why is the template info missing?Why is info from only the second feature writer showing? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am working with transformer FMEServerJobSubmitter to propagate the information about the files .dbf to PgAdmin table. Previously in the child-workspace we used a WorkspaceRunner and it was showed of the next way: It was something very simple where it just counted with 3 parameters and it used a parameter path_windows because it referenced a file route where the 56 files .dbf were saved and there was no problem because it wrote all the information  in the PgAdmin table because it worked in a local way.  Now, it is working on FME Server and the transformer WorkspaceRunner was changed to the transformer FMEServerJobSubmitter and they are using the values in the parameters including the path_windows value and when we try to run, it doesn't propagate the information of the 56 .dbf files, it just sends a message of successful in JobSubmiter and the 56 logs that should be created result with status failure. Reviewing the log, I realize that all process works until it execut

Hi, I installed FME Server 2021.2 on a new machine then did a restore with the overwrite option (oops). So I overwrote the Dashboard and Utilities repository workspaces with old versions. Is there somewhere I can download these workspaces? Thank-you, Kathy

Hi together, I am wondering if it is possible to pre-configure the favicon, header and footer section whenever we build a new FME workspace app on FME server. The idea is to replace the generic FME server icon and to replace it with our corporate color(s) + icons and a custom footer (e.g. our contact details) in a way that anytime we create a new workspace we would not have to reapply the color scheme, icons, favicon etc. Is this possible via an out-of-the-box FME server workspace app (e.g. configuring this from the backend on the server machine)? Do you know?Many thanks and kind regards!Ferid

Hi, I see these warnings in some of our logs (FME Server 2021): FME Configuration: Extremely low initial memory conditions detected. To improve stability and performance please increase the memory available to FME. It seems to be random, not correlated to any particular jobs. However, when it happens, it seems to affect two to four jobs in a row - I don't have many jobs yet (recent installation), so this might be a coincidence. On the bright side, it doesn't seem to prevent the jobs from finishing. After reading a few articles, I see a few points I suspect I could look into: FME Server configuration - specifically, MAX_TRANSACTION_RESULT_SUCCESSES and MAX_TRANSACTION_RESULT_FAILURES. We have the default values at this moment (100 and 10).Memory parameters - in the examples I see "Start freeing memory when the process exceeds 71.99 GB". In our system we see much lower values, e.g., "Start freeing memory when the process exceeds 2.83 GB or address space exceeds 3.4

Hi list.We're still running FME Server 2020.2.5, and now our IT department is fuzzing over questioning the version of Tomcat that runs FME Server. Something with potential vulnerabilities.Is it possible to update this Tomcat without updating FME Server itself ?If so, what are the caveats ?Cheers

Currently running FME Server on Windows Server 2019. The Windows server is being handicapped by high CPU usage by the FMEWebSocket java process. Please see the screenshot attached.  

For a couple minutes a few days ago one of my scheduled workbenches on 2021 FME Server sent over 1000 emails in error. It hasn't done it since. It uses the emailer transformer to inform user of changes to data. Does anyone know what would cause this and what log file to look in to see what was going on? I looked through all of them and couldn't find anything. It could be a Windows Server issue but I need to rule out FME as a cause/prevent it from happening again.

Hey everyone. Our company rented server (Windows Server 2016) where we've got ArcGiS Server (Enterprise) + FME Server. And some FME jobs (workbenches) using FME SDE Readers. So reades takes some vector objects from SDE base and then make some transformations with them. And all works fine. Week ago we are migrated to another server. So we are reinstall ArcGiS Enterprise (+ restore backups) and then reinstall FME server (+restore backups too). All jobs working fine except those, which are using FeatureReader "Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)". Is some reason when I'm tried to start jobs I've got an error 74 2022-1-12 18:57:56 | Creating reader for format: Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)75 2022-1-12 18:57:56 | Trying to find a DYNAMIC plugin for reader named `GEODATABASE_SDE'76 2022-1-12 18:57:56 | Loaded module 'GEODATABASE_SDE' from file 'C:\Program Files\FMEServer\Server\fme\GEODATABASE9.dll'77 2022-1-12 18:57:56 | FME API version of module 'GEODATABASE_SDE' matches current internal ver

We are using a VIP (Virtual IP) for LDAPS and DNS request and I wanted to know if someone had implemented SSO with FME using a VIP for DNS and LDAPS.We are facing an issue that when we are using the VIP in the configuration of FME server, the KDC attempt fail.

Hi,  I finally managed to install my FME Server on a linux server without internet access (RedHat 7.1) on a distributed mode and the 2tier architecture. Allow me to say it was really not my best experience to say the least..Now I want to install a new fme-engine on the same machine but it looks like I have no choice upon the install directory. Am my missing something here ?We have plenty of space in the destination directory (/var/opt/data/...) with a symbolic link in /opt that points to the right place.Unfortunately the installer wants more free space in /opt which we don't have.Anyone have an idea on a way to install an fme-engine in a specific directory ?Thanks in advance 

Hi list.I have a job being submitted multiple times, although I've added a sampler of "first 1" before the serverjobsubmitter (just in case). Is there a way to see, which process (job) that launched the jobs in question ?Cheers

Hi, I'm trying to run a workspace in FME Server. It has a few different KML writers, each one with a "Filename (output)" parameter for the output file. It works fine in FME Desktop, but when I run it in FME Server with the same parameters (Manage Schedules -> Enter parameters -> Trigger), I get some errors (I'm replacing the actual path elements with "blah" to avoid any problems with the client's security policies): KML: The file `\\\\blah\\blah\\blah\\' has an invalid or unsupported extension `'KML: Parent folder `\\\\blah\\blah\\blah\\' does not exist.KML: Cannot write to dataset `\\\\blah\\blah\\blah\\blah blah.kml'KML: Error initializing writerOGCKML writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details The first message seems strange, as it doesn't state the actual file name, but only the path (is it a bug?). The second says the folder does not exist, but it does. I've tried entering the following:Remo

Hello everyone, I've been having a tedious issue running a workspace on FME Server and wanted to share it in the forum.I created a workspace on FME Desktop and uploaded it on FME Server. However, whenever I run it on the server, an error occurs saying "(InlineQueryFactory): An error occurred while creating the table". Everything works smoothly on the desktop version, so I thought it was bizarre and reported this to the helpdesk. I sent them the entire workspace as well as input data in .ffs format.The FME technician said he couldn't reproduce the problem and that everything runs fine on his side. So he sent me the simplified version of my original workflow that contains only the InlineQuerier, telling me to test with that one. And surprisingly, that one ran successfully on our server. But, once I made a slightest change to that simplified workspace (I changed the input data to be read from the ArcGIS portal instead of locally), then it again landed on the same InlineQ

Trying to back up the repositories etc before and upgade and getting this error: F:\\FME Server System Share\\repositories\\Dashboards\\AverageRunningTime\\AverageRunningTime.fmw (The system cannot find the path specified)

I have a question regarding the gallery in powerapps. When I link a gallery to a sharepoint list and I put text Input to write and this data will be stored in the sharepoint list I have a problem -> the write boxes are not showing?  

I am trying to allow other people to share to FME Server objects when they are not the owner. The documentation says that they need "Manage permission in Security", but I can’t see what that means! The only thing I can see is the ‘Manage’ permission on ‘Security Configurations’. However neither my colleague or I have that permission and yet I can share objects I don't own, but my colleague cannot...

I had an engine queue pileup where job where just getting added to the queue and never ran. Since there were no failures none of my automated notifications were going out. So I completely missed this. Is there a way I can set up hourly polling to check the number of jobs in the queue? Did a quick search for doing this with Rest API but nothing jumped out at me. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Is there a way to bring the user name who requested a job run into the workspace as an attribute?  My current attempt uses a PythonCaller with the following code: import fme, osimport fmeobjects def processFeature(feature):    feature.setAttribute('Username', os.getenv('USERNAME'))    pass...and passes Username on as an exposed attribute. This works fine in Desktop, but in Server it always results in the Service Account username populating the attribute.  So if I run this in Desktop, Username is populated with jpickles... if I run this in Server, Username is populated with serviceaccount even though I am logged into FME Server as jpickles.  Is there an easier way to accomplish this task that I am currently unaware of? 

I have a license of FME desktop and currently use it to extract features from autocad DWG files from three physical servers and package it into SHP files. Running this manually is a bit tedious, and I would like to run updates more often so I am considering getting into either FME Server or FME Cloud. From a cost perspective, the Cloud option looks more appealing, but I don't know if it will be able to access all of our network drives. I am not that knowledgeable about IT issues, but wonder if I will need to give the cloud server some kind of VPN to be able to get at the data. This will likely make our IT consultants worry about security issues. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

How to send xml data to manual trigger in fme server because manual trigger just works with json data. So is there any trigger for xml data ? (webhook or etc)

This may be a slightly "general" web development and authentication. etc question but maybe someone working with FME Server has a quick answer.So I have various pieces of a project working.An ESRI web app that grabs some user info and other detail.An FME Service that takes some JSON input and writes it to database.Some custom code using FMEServer.js that sends info to the FME service.But when I try to put it all together I get 'Mixed Content' errors because ArcGIS Enterprise is enforcing HTTPS and my existing FME is running on HTTP. I don't have a problem with getting a Cert and enabling HTTPS for FME Server if that's the only solution (and maybe I'm hereby offering my own solution) but is it?Thanks

Hi All I've been having a look at the new engine assignment rules on recent version of FME Server. When creating a new Engine Assignment Rule you have the ability to create a custom engine property to use to assign engines. However I see no way of subsequently assigning that newely created property to an engine to use in the engine routing. In the Queue Control documentation it suggests that you can add custom properties to Engines, but only using Kubernetes https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/WebUI/Queue-Control.htm (towards the bottom of the page under 'To add a queue to a new rule') Is there something i'm missing? i've had a dig through the config files (thinking it might have to be a manual assignment similar to older versions of FME Server) also had a dig through and could find anything apparent in the REST API (side note - noted theres a new v4 API in the works) This could be really powerful if you were able to individually tag engines with
