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?

This week I paid attention that most "Learn" buttons in Fme Server Playground - Demos page started to give error 404 Not Found.List of demo examples with erroneous "Learn":Data Upload and ValidationData Validation FME Server AppData Distribution with ArcGIS ServerData Distribution FME Server AppData Distribution for Raster DataData Distribution for Point Cloud DataEasy GeocoderEasy TranslatorEasy Translator FME Server AppLive Spatial DashboardReal-time Data Validation and DisplayMobile Asset Tracking with Geofence and NotificationINSPIRE GML ValidatorMaybe something happened and spoiled the links, since few days ago, at least items 8, 9 above had good links on their "Learb" buttons. Michael

We have a folder of pdf files where we want to be able to track two things - when a new file is added when an existing file is replaced with a file of the same name.  We have 1) working (using Directory Watcher). But I'm not sure of the best way to approach 2). I guess we could look out for situations of 1) where the file count in the directory has also increased. But I'm not clear how to accomplish that or whether that's the best approach. Incidentally, these files are project drawings. And our business practice is such that when as-built info is added to the drawings, they get re-scanned and the existing file gets replaced with this new scanned file.

i want to use symbology layer created using Arcmap in my FME model. Is there anyway i can accomplish this?

Hi,  I have a workbench that I have tested on fme desktop and works. I upload this exact workbench to the server and while it runs successfully it gives me a different output to that of the desktop version. I have not changed any parameters. Would anyone have an idea as to why this is happening or what is the best way to debug and fme server workbench if it is working correctly on desktop?ThanksB

I want to use python request library to run webhoooks on FME Server. I am having trouble because python request library returns HTTP status code 500 with server error:Thu-23-Jul-2020 10:21:35.970 AM FATAL http-nio-80-exec-6 412007 : Service failed: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\requestdata\\9058908488982796417  I try to use the same url and headers with urllib.request.urlopen and the webhook runs fine. I really need to use the request library.

I am testing workbench: GetCapabilities.fmw and GetPNG.fmw to publish WMS service. I use sample data from https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19640/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server.html. I get WMS adress URL, but when I want to open the WMS in FME Desktop/QGIS I get information "Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP/1.1 401 from ......." Any suggestion what can be wrong? Propably, it's problem with authorisation, what options should I change in security (FMe Server)?

Hi,I have downloaded the backupConfiguration.fmw workbench from FME Server to FME Desktop and altered the [FME_SERVER_WEB_URL] FME Server parameter to http://<SERVER_NAME> and it is running correctly on Desktop. However, when I publish the workspace to FME Server and run it from FME Server, I am getting the following error: HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP/1.1 504 Unknown Host'  The below feature caused the translation to be terminated58Storing feature(s) to FME feature store file `\\\\<SERVER_NAME>\\D$\\_FME\\FMEServerShare\\resources\\logs\\engine\\current\\jobs\\22000\\job_22402_log.ffs

We've got some server apps setup for non-FMEers to use, which is working great and has really lowered the perceived threshold. However, sometimes (mostly due to bad data), the workspaces fail. To monitor that, I'd like it if FME Server could send me an email - just like I can configure it to when I've set up an automation. Is there a neat way to do this, based on the server apps success/failure?

Hello,FME Server 2020.1 on Windows 10 64bitI'm attempting to add a shared folder in a different Windows 10 machine [B] as a network based resource to an FME Server which is running on a Windows 10 machine [A].The machine [B] belongs to a closed network which is different from the network where the machine [A] belongs to, so I firstly configured an Ethernet (wired LAN) connection between the two machines.I believe this has been done successfully, since the shared folder in the machine [B] can be accessed (read/write) with the Windows Explorer in the machine [A], using both IP address and computer name. Next, I created a new network based resource for the FME Server running on the machine [A]. However, failed to connect the shared folder.This was the same even if I set the UNC path with the IP address. I was able to create and connect a network based resource successfully with the same manner if the shared folder is located in a machine belonging to the same network to which the mach

Hi, I hope you can help on this! I would like to calculate the area of a set of polygons in FME, however, when using the AreaCalculator, as we know, we can calculate an area using Geodesic. I found this KB question: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/35906/how-to-calculate-spherical-area-in-km2-using-pytho-1.html  However I am struggling to implement this, would anyone have advice on how to calculate polygon areas, in km2, using geodesic (WGS84 or ED50 for example?) Any advice is super appreciated.

Hi,if I use the Data Download Service in FME-Server 2019.1.3.1 and I always get the link with the internal domain (https://internal_domain:443/fmedatadownload/results ), but I want to use the external domain (https://external_domain/fmedatadownload/results), like configured under System Configuration --> Networking --> Services.I don't have configured a proxy or reverse proxy. Best regards,Matthias

Am encountering an odd "javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException" error when I try to save an Automation. There seems to be some issue with the associated workflow, however the workflow runs fine by itself, or via a schedule.Has anyone else encountered something similar?

We have one database, where only data-owners have access to edit their own data. When they have finished editing, we publish the data for them to another database, where all of our customers have read-only access. From there, some of the data is then published to yet another database for our WebGIS, first in the test-environment, and when it's ok to the production. Depending on the data, there are sometimes even more steps to do. Now with FME-Server, we want the users to publish their data themselves.  What would be the best way to set this up? In Server Apps you can run just one workbench, so we would have to have two or more Server Apps apps in a row... Is there a possibility to link them in one page, without having to code anything?  Or is there another way to set this up?  thanks in advance, Vera

Hi All,After uninstalling FME server 2019 and installing FME server 2020 the server can not be contacted via the webinterface. All services are started like they should. It returns a: HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error I have reinstalled FME server several times, cleaned the registry, rebooted the server etc. But to no avail. Does anyone have a tip how to solve this?  

Bonjour j'utilise un paramètre publié pour générer le nom d'un fichier DGN en sortie de traitement.Cela fonctionne correctement en local mais dans FME serveur le paramètre publié n'est pas lu .

FME Desktop 2020: How to disable writing (duplicating) the result of workbench at each run? I couldn’t figure out how to disable writing the result of workbench as each run. I observed that the output is duplicated in the esri file geodatabase at each run   

I have defined the corresponding coordinate system in the server (FME \\ Reproject \\ MyCoordSysDefs LocalCoordSysDefs), which is normal in FME Desktop, and the corresponding coordinate system cannot be found in the server.

How I can share the resources files same as the fme server app;Despite the fact that I can run fme server app without credentials, I fail to download the result of this app without credentials at lease guest user!Version:2020.0So, there is a way to share the resources files same as the fme server app Best,Lubna  

What the differences between guest and fmeguest usersFor Example, When I share a resources -Temp resources, I see two users related to guest: guest and fmeguest, one of them is under fmeguest role which is the fmeguset, but when I go to user management section I see the guest user but it take the behavior of fmeguest user since it under the fmeguest role!This confuse me when working on permissions and sharing resources!So, What the difference between those two users? Best,Lubna
