Hi all, Is there any possibility to create a photo application where a user can take a picture out on the field?  We are looking to see if there alternative options outside ESRI due to the licence cost.

Hi all.I installed version 2020.0 originally, and when 2020.1 was released, I opted to upgrade the engines only. This worked out fine.But the web interface GUI is still 2020.0, and so any improvements here are not available. This is probably not an issue now, but will be when 2021.0 is released.Are there any concerns when upgrading FME Server fully ? Will all setup be kept in place ? Are there any post-install tasks needed ?Cheers.

I'm running FME 2020.1 (desktop and server). In my workspace, I have a published parameter with a range clause (set to greater than 0). In desktop, I cannot start a translation when I enter a 0 for this published parameter. However, it is possible to submit a job on FME server with the value 0 passed for this parameter. The job on FME server runs succesfully, whereas I'd expect an error because of the invalid parameter value. The output of the job is not correct, however. Am I missing something here? It seems like parameter checking is not consistent between desktop and server... 

Is it possible to get all the items in all repositories with a single URL using the FME Server REST API? I understand how to get a list of repositories or the items in a single repository but not all items at once. The only option I can think of is to get the repositories and then loop through them one at a time to get the items. Hoping I'm missing a simpler solution.  Aaron

HiI'm looking at ways to monitor FME Server using the REST API and would like to perhaps query for all failed jobs in the last n days/hours/minutes.  I can see it's possible with the V3 API to query for failed jobs - e.g.  https://myfmeserver/fmerest/v3/transformations/jobs/completed?completedState=failed However, this will return all failed jobs. If we are monitoring for recent failures, we would want to query using dates or a timeframe. Is this currently possible? Thanks John

I have an environment with a  FME Server 2018.1.2 Build  18590 and ArcGIS Server  10.6.1.It has been running 2 pretty similar workspaces with no problem.The ArcGIS server was upgraded to 10.7.1. After that the following behavior is observed:Workspace  A Fails with this log:Creating reader for format: Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)  Trying to find a DYNAMIC plugin for reader named `GEODATABASE_SDE'  Loaded module 'GEODATABASE_SDE' from file 'C:\Program Files\FMEServer\Server\fme\GEODATABASE9.dll'  FME API version of module 'GEODATABASE_SDE' matches current internal version (3.8 20180604)  Performing query against GEODATABASE_SDE dataset `<Unused>'  Opening the Geodatabase reader Here  the log stops. Then, Workspace B is triggered,  and shows the following  in the same part as the  Workspace ACreating reader for format: Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)  Trying to find a DYNAMIC plugin for reader named `GEODATABASE_SDE'  Loaded module 'GEODATABASE_SDE' from file 'C:\Program Files\FM

Hı all,I just started learning the fme server. We create wep api using django rest freamework.  Is it possible to do web api with fme server? Is Fme server enough in speed and security. Is there a documentation I can examine as an example?   Thank you

I am facing this below error in fme server 2019 "Encountered a connection error (status code 0). Retrying after 100 ms" and the error is not always.In my case I have parent script , which will call child scripts(i used fme server job submitter)So for example, if there are 10 Childs to be ran, and after 5 child scripts are ran, I am getting above connection error. and then other 5 scripts will be in a queue or sometimes parent script will not get response from child. totally parent child relation will be broken.parent will be waiting for the child to complete and child will be in hanging state. So my question iswhat was causing this error?andshould I wait, so that parent fme will get connected to child again?or is there any ways to tell the server to, try Now(manually) I waited 1.5 days , but no result. then i restarted.... and same issue occurred. what to do? pls help

Maybe this is known behavior, but I noticed that when using the following dataset name in an Excel Feature writer in FME Server, that the expression was not evaluated correctly when using the Data Download or Data Streaming services. "testfilename_@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y%m%d).xlsx" Interestingly, it works fine in Desktop, and when using the Job Submitter service in Server. Has anyone else encountered this type of issue?

Hello, I have a lot of engines and few queues. I have one queue called Test which is assigned only to one engine. All queues have priority 5.  Then I have a schedule configured to use queue: Test But when I trigger job for that schedule what I can see is that both Tag and Queue is set to Default and job ends up on random engine.  What am I doing wrong? Schedule configuration  engine/job configuration: Submited job execution details:

Is there a way to move workspaces from one repository to the other, other than re-publishing them through FME Workbench? I have a customer who has uploaded all workspaces to a single repository and is now looking to set that up in a better way (FME Server 2019)

An errant process has dumped thousands of file into an FTP site with an FTP watcher on it. I now have thousands of jobs backed up in the queue with necessary jobs mixed in. I need to clear just the bad jobs from the queue and I need to do so without clicking through hundreds of pages and checking boxes. Please help.

We are in the process of migrating from FME Server 2017 to FME Server 2020, workspaces have been saved as 2020 and loaded to the new FME server 2020. A number of jobs are failing but also failing to complete in the job history! However in the FME Server Log there is this note “Please see: http://fme.ly/e100005#could-not-read-engine-response “Following the link the causes are listed as “These errors occur when the job that was running on FME Server crashes the FME Engine. FME Engine crashes have varying causes and by their nature are usually unknown to Safe Software. Here are some causes we have seen in the past:python errors/crashesoracle client configuration errorslarge datasets with memory intensive operationsservice account permissionsport scanners related to security interrogationsI can't see how any of these apply to the workspaces that have failed to complete. Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can fix this issue?

Hi,I have tried to use the GUI setup for proxy, to be honest, i could not got it to work in 2019.1, 2019.2, 2020.0 and now 2020.1 I always just revert back to the trusty command line setup. very easy to do, as i have a powershell script to deploy it . and also adding it the LAN settingsThe GUI setup also don't have settings like bypass local address current error i get:67   2020-9-13 08:56:34 | HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'Couldn't connect to server'68   2020-9-13 08:56:34 | HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up69   2020-9-13 08:56:34 | HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Please ensure the following proxy information is correct. The current proxy is: 'webgateway.melbourne.vic.gov.au:80'70   2020-9-13 08:56:34 | The below feature caused the translation to be terminated as soon as i disable the proxy - and revert to command line it works perfect

Hi all, Could anyone let me know what their experience of allowing users to upload photos via FME server app has been?  I am a bit of a newbie but looking to explore if a user can simply upload a picture which is then geotagged and we can then publish that onto a map for users to view.   

Hey all Have a server process that is running some parrallel processing and its failing with some really bizarre cryptic errors. The machine has more than enough ram (36gb) and plenty of temp drive space (100gb free). Any one have any thoughts on a way forward? Running on 2019.2.1 build 19823  

Now this is a very specific topic that I have only had the opportunity to speak with some customers about, but we wanted to get a more general pulse... Did you know that when you access the FME Server REST API documentation pages – e.g. https://myFMEServer.com/fmerest/ – that you are able to paste in your own API token so that you can test with it? As we are underway on the next iteration of the REST API, we wanted to understand how important (i.e. "not at all" to "CRITICAL!") the ability to paste in token values for testing purposes is for you. Of course, you are also able to generate a temporary token for testing (that matches your user account permissions). This is a specific use case for testing with an existing token value that you have modified or set custom permissions for. Please let us know by adding a comment!

the error is "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

Hi all, We are currently going through a process of setting up FME Server. What we would like to do is have a dashboard that monitors all the data we input and see the last time data was updated.  What would be the best process or methods to do this? What are the best practices in ensuring data is up to date and seeing last update of data? Thank You

Hi, I have published ​a Workbench on FME Server. I want to repeat the process with different psrameter like workspacerunner. I try this with fmejobsubmitter without successThanks ​

Hi, I am currently working through the FME Server Tutorials, it is a very steep learning curve as I have only just installed FME Server on my PC and had zero server experience before now. So I have it up and running, and I have several other devices connected to the same local network, and I am wanting to log into this server using another machine, but it is as though the server does not exist! the link can be accessed fine from the same machine, its just other machines that cannot access it ("Page not found") I have double checked, I can successfully ping the machine, no worries at all. So I have used the 'direct link' on another machine on my network (just replaced localhost:80 with 192.168.1.2), but it is returning a page not found. http://192.168.1.2/fmeserver/#/workspaces/run/Training/SelfServe-Ex1-Complete.fmw/fmedatadownloadAny thoughts on what may be going wrong here? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-                               Pu

I want to access to an excel file, which is on the FMEServer Resouces Folder. Because i have to read out some values from this excel i put into an pythonscript, which build an XML Filter for a WFS Reader. The pythonscript is in a private Parameter. I have the following code: import fmeimport xlrd list_gemeinden =[]#loc = ("C:\\Temp\\gemeinde.xlsx") loc = fme.macroValues["ExcelAuswahl"] #$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)\\gemeinde.xls is the content of parameter ExcelAuswahl Is this correct or I'm totally wrong?Best Regard  

Is there anyway to read information using an FMW reader about a workspace that has been uploaded to FME Server without downloading first? I can automatically download to a temp location via the API if needed just wanted to check I wasn't missing an alternative

I have the FME Server Core running in a CentOS instance in AWS and a number of engines on separate instances. The shared resources folder is in an Elastic File System mounted to all the engines and the Core. I noticed that when new folders are created from the FME Web UI, they are created by the root user and not by the fmeserver user as I was expecting. This is causing the engines to have problems writing into those new folders because the fmeserver user (which is the user that runs the workspace) lacks the necessary permissions.  I can't keep modifying every new folder's permissions to allow for the fmeserver user to be able to write to them. What could be a more permanent solution? Can the Core be changed to use the fmeserver user instead when creating new directories?
