How to create webhook with running job expiry time ?

I am using FME Server 2020. Need to create a webhook but along with that need to set expiry time for the job. Is it possible ?

SystemCaller failed but still does its job

Hi, This is just for esthetics: I geht houndreds of warnings from FME_Server runnung an Job with some SystemCallers that copy files with robocopy. Although everything works fine and the the files are copied, "Failed to Execute" does not look nice. SystemCaller_12: Failed to Execute `robocopy \\\\RZ2-ZDA-01\\Data$\\Aktuell\\INSPIRE \\\\RZ2-ZDA-01\\Data$\\Historisch\\INSPIRE CP_CadastralParcel.gpkg' If I use the commandline "cmd" from Win2019 on the FME-Server then I dont get any warning.

Releasing file handles after run ?

Hi list.We have a job on an FME server job, that reads from a ZIP file. It's initiated by an outside broker, and the broker continues to perform other tasks after the FME server job has finished.We've encountered an error, where the broker tries to delete the input ZIP file 12 seconds after the FME server job ends successfully. The error message says something about other processes using the file.It doesn't happen consistently, but happens fairly often, so is there a problem with releasing file handles from ended FME server jobs ?Cheers.

Asynchronous Calls to FME Server and Polling for Job Completion

Continuing work described in this previous thread, I would like to figure out how to make asynchronous calls to FME Server and poll the job until it's completed, then capture the response. That will allow me to communicate to user in the UI what's going in while job is running, rather than just be waiting for something go happen. So far, I've switched from FMEServer.runWorkspaceWithData( repository, workspace, params, callback);toFMEServer.submitJob( repository, workspace, params, callback);which returns the job ID. There are so many ways in Javascript to now poll the service to check if the job is complete... I was hoping someone has a concise snippet to share?! Maybe there is even a feature in the API or an FME example I've overlooked .

Looking for a tutorial to assist creating a simple web form to capture a-spatial information and push (append) it into a basic excel table

Hey, I am competent with FME Desktop, but an extreme novice to FME Server. I understand with FME server we can create web-apps and the like, and I have a great entry level task I want to see if FME can assist with. Currently we are emailed information from people within our organisation and we have to manually move this data into an excel spreadsheet. I believe with FME Server it can host a page where these fellow staff can input a few basic text items (nothing spatial at this point, that will be phase 2 of my project) and then append it to a local excel table. I am looking for a tutorial to assist me with this process. I am a little overwhelmed as all tutorials I have found so far are wanting the user to upload a file, and the server converts to another file and is returned. This is not really applicable with my basic phase 1 task. Has anyone seen something that may assist, that is targeted to n00bs? Kind regards, Ben

FeatureReader not processed on FME Server

Hi together,I have the strange problem that the FeatureReader transformer, which works fine in FME Desktop is not considered when running on FME Server. The input is a URL - the purpose of the feature reader is to download a dataset from the URL. It worked already on FME Server - and stopped for some reason I simply don't know. I have checked the log - the FeatureReader transformer was simply not run. It is not disabled. It is perfectly connected. But it does not run. Is this a known problem - did any of you see the same? FME Desktop and Server both are 2020!

Web App to georeference pdfs/TIFFs?

We receive quite a lot of pdfs of some CAD plans that we are manually georeferencing in ArcGIS Pro. The CAD plans do exist in dxf/dwg too, but mostly a) not georeferenced and b) in a layer structure that's a total mess with no way to automate something here. So we just provide locally georeferenced pdf plans as converted TIFFs.Georeferencing here works by visually selecting some GCPs on some ortho imagery (so it's not 100% accurate) to match them with features on the pdf plan (or TIFF at this point). Is there any way to do this also in FME - and not just locally in the workbench, but as a web app on FME server? Basically there needs to be some steps involved:upload pdf and convert to tiff (should be doable)have an option that places the tiff at the current map canvas (show a map in the app that can also consume own WMS/WMTS services)have an option to create point pairs: first pick on the basemap, second pick on tiff once you have at least 3 or 4 point pairs --> have an optio

REST API call to refresh licenses fails due to CORS

Hi,When I submit a FME Server REST API call to GET /licensing/license/capabilitiesor GET /licensing/license/status on our FME Server, it runs fine returning the info requested. However, when trying to automatically refresh the license using the REST API interface, it fails complaining http 403 Access has been forbidden due to CORS. Is that because the request to refresh the license is serviced by a Safe server which is not listed in the FME Server CORS list?

Dashboards permission error

when logged in as the admin account, accessing the dashboards gives the following error:"Please ask your Server Administrator to grant 'Access' and 'List' permissions to the Resource named Dashboards. You will not be able to view any Dashboard reports without this permission."Anyone got any ideas on where to start with this? The admin account has full permissions already, I can't see anything to add.

Unable to access FME Web Interface from any machine other than the server itself

Hi all, we've just installed FME server, on a standalone machine. All components on one server. We are able to access the fme web interface from the server itself (it's configured for https) and all looks great. However we're unable to access the site from any workstations. Our network team says they have allowed traffic through port 443 (https) so we should be ok there. When trying to load the site on Chrome, we get the following error: The Site can't be reached.... took to long to respond....ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. Any thoughts? Not sure what else to try at this point. Our network team is still working on this, and trying to determine where the traffic is being blocked but thought I'd see if anyone else has had this issue. Is 443 the only port needed to be open in this case? -Thanks in advance.

How do I configure dashboards

Hi When I run the workspace "JobHistoryStatisticsGathering.fmw" I only get a csv file, nothing shows up in dashboard in FME server. Do I need to put all other workspaces "the ones that generate a html file" on schedule aswell? I mean the "AverageRunningTime,DailyAverageQuedTime,DailyTotalJobs,DailyTotalRunningTime,FailuresByWorkspace". Iam sure I read somewhere that everything is preconfigured so you just need to schedule 1 workspace and then all dashboards are generated at once and shows up in dashboard. But I cant find any option to do that, nothing in automations or schedule or anything. The only thing I find In schedule is "DashboardStatisticsGathering" wich triggers the "JobHistoryStatisticsGathering workspace" and also creates a notification "GENERATE_DASHBOARD". So I need some clarification in how to get the dashboards working without the need to put all workspaces on schedule, if that's possible. Thanks in advance.

Engines and Server Cores

I am working on revamping our corporate FME Server environment and I am trying to figure out how to spec our servers. How do the engines use the cpu cores? If I have two engines running on a four core machine, are they each using two or are there two cores sitting idle (Assuming both cores are running jobs)?

httpcaller token syntax

I am probably missing something really simple here, so I am looking at this example:https://community.safe.com/s/article/streaming-geojson-with-fme-server-2016 I create a webhook, which gets me the URL and token. So I then try to use a httpcaller from FME desktop to call that webhook, and pull down the data, but just putting this url in the httpcaller https://myfmeserver/fmedatastreaming/testing/GeoJson.fmw?FEATURE_TYPES=Default.BusRoutes&token=f57z2802-4a5f-edcb-87fa-16c849facdce But I get 401 unauthorized, is that not a valid syntax for adding the token to the URL? I also tried adding in the header dialog boxes, got the same.

Understanding data streaming ?

Hi list.(This is not about the new streams feature)We're trying to utilize FME server for processes, that accept a streaming input and produces a streaming output. I.e. HTTP handlers.As far as I can tell, you can't initiate such a process via the REST api, as this overrules the output with its own JSON stream. You need to create and use a webhook. Is this correct ?Even with a webhook it seems, that the streaming input (= POST body) is ignored. Are there some special requirements in the formatting of this input ?Our input is a custom XML format.Our output needs to be a CAD file. All examples only name XML and JSON as options, so is this even possible ? If so, what are the specific requirements to accomplish this ?Any insights are appreciated.Cheers.

How could I send notifications from a scheduled job (15 seconds)?

Hi, I have a workspace that is retrieving me data from an API every 15 seconds, thus I can have a web app that can read the messages trough a websocket and then display the info on a map (similar to the FME demo: http://demos.fmeserver.com/spatialdashboard/index.html ) In my case, I am not using it to show moving objects but to locate earthquakes, and the interval only allows to keep my data up to date. Now if I want to send a notification via email, for example with earthquakes reaching a certain magnitude, how can I prevent my notification from being triggered every 15 seconds and instead only send notifications once per event? Thanks

Email Not Being Sent From Scheduler

I have a workspace that I published to FME Server (2020.2.4) that contains an Emailer transformer. The email sends correctly from when I run the workspace in Workbench and also when I run the workspace in FME Server. But when I create a schedule for this workspace and run the workspace from the Scheduler the email is not sent. Do I need to do some additional steps or configuration to get the Emailer to work from the Scheduler?

FME Server 2021.0 API returns raw encoded string not value

Hi everyone, I'm making a call to the FME Server API to get a list of Schedules and I'm getting back "raw" encoded strings in the json response, but I would like the "values". Is there any way to do it? Here's an example request, which uses a token that I set up in FME Server (the token only has access to the Schedules) : The json returned looks like this : {"offset":-1,"limit":-1,"totalCount":65,"items":[{"owner":"me","request":{"publishedParameters":{"name":"MyURLAttribute","raw":"https:<solidus><solidus>myFMEServer.com<solidus>something<solidus>blah"}...The "raw" values look like they're encoded eg. "<solidus>" instead of "/" I was expecting :{"offset":-1,"limit":-1,"totalCount":65,"items":[{"owner":"me","request":{"publishedParameters":{"name":"MyURLAttribute","value":"https://myFMEServer.com/something/blah"}...I tried changing the "response encoding" to the system default but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas?
