Hi,  Does anyone have experience of the Version Control in FME Server 2017.1. Did you have any bugs, Is it fit to put in a production enviroment? Please share your thoughts and experience.  Best/ Johan

FME Server is creating dynamic sudo engines with prefix 'context-id':Background: We have 3 engines on our FME Server. Workbench (WB) 1, is a continuous job run all the time, internally WB1 triggers WB1a & WB1b.WB2 is a web-service based job, gets triggered when a web-service call is initiated. All the WBs are in same repository. 2 engines are been dedicated to this repository. Step1: WB1 is triggered on engine 1, now as the engine 1 is occupied, all the other jobs should be triggered on engine 2.Step2: Lets say Engine 2 is occupied by WB2.Step3: In this scenario, when WB1 initiates WB1a or WB1b, FME server creates a dynamic sudo engine with prefix 'context-id' for engine 1 or engine 2 and queues the job to one of these engines.As the engine1 is occupied by a continuous job (WB1), the jobs waiting on the queue for engine 1, never get executed.Is there a way in FME server configuration to avoid creating

Hi I would like to disable the schedule in FME Server in the event of a job failure.I am looking at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#!/schedules/update_put_3which works but it seems that I have to update all the parameters in the schedule for this to work, rather than just the parameter "enabled".I would like to set the request body as{ "enabled": false}Has anyone manage to get this working by just setting enabled to false ?

Hi Tem, I have a fme file which has to be run 15 times with different parameters( 15 oracle schemas) in fme server 2017. after 15 runs fme server has to stop running when the last schema completes. how can i achieve this in fme server 2017? I am using fme server notifier within fmw file with fme workspace run functionality. But i am not successful.need help.

Ive seen great work is being done to bring FME Server to Docker but im keen to know more about deploying FME server on a kubernetes cluster. I found a github repo for FME server helm charts but there doesnt seem to be much supporting documentation or press releases detailing the progress of this work by Safe. Are these Helm charts in a usable state?

Hi All,I have a workspace which works fine in desktop, and even works fine in our Pre-Production FME Server environment, but when I try to run on our Production FME Server instance I get the error message above. Any ideas? Full log below (have removed elements that showed senitive things like databases and passwords!): FME 2017.1.1.1 (20171014 - Build 17652 - WIN64)  FME_HOME is 'C:\Program Files\FME_Server_2017.1.1.1\Server\fme\'  FME Engine (node locked-crc)  Serial Number: SAFE  Machine host name is: -- START - ProcessID: 8424, peak process memory usage: 34820 kB, current process memory usage: 34820 kB   FME Configuration: Reader Keyword is `ORACLE_SPATIAL_1'  FME Configuration: Writer Keyword is `MULTI_WRITER'  FME Configuration: Writer Group Definition Keyword is `MULTI_WRITER_DEF'  FME Configuration: Reader type is `ORACLE_SPATIAL'  FME

We upgraded to FME Server 2018 last night and found that one of my process that outputs multiple files now makes a folder for each output versus on 2017 everything was in one folder called dataset. I did not change anything on process just upgraded to 2018.Thanks,Chad

Hi,We have finally succeeded to configure Single Sign On properly on our FME Server. I assumed that opening the URL would lead me directly to my Home-screen (https://<my-fme-hostname>/fmeserver/#/home, but this was not the case, unfortunately.When opening the FME-Server URL, I get a proper Login Screen, where I explicitly need to press the button "Use Windows Credentials". Doing so, logs me in succesfully, so my assumption is that we have configured Single Sign On / HTTPS well...Now, my question: Is it possible to bypass this login screen and automatically log a user in when SSO is working fine? I have read the post from @jvt2, it looks like he is asking the same question, but the answer of @erik_jan doesn't give me the right answer, or Did I miss something?Regards,Frank van Doorne

Hi,I wonder how I can control what type of Arc is created with GMLFeatureComposer. I have tried to convert every nativ IFMEArc to Arc by 3 points, by using a PathSplitter, GeometryFilter ArcStroker (number of interpolated egdes = 2) ArcEstimator-> now every Arc is IFMEArc Arc by 3 points. then I send them into the GMLFEatureComposer and output is:<gml:ArcByCenterPoint numArc="1"> <gml:posList>610994.229288738 6650770.14554273</gml:posList> <gml:radius uom="EPSG:25832">24.6290249574635</gml:radius> <gml:startAngle uom="degree">65.8899835987118</gml:startAngle> <gml:endAngle uom="degree">57.0505172196457</gml:endAngle></gml:ArcByCenterPoint>I want:<gml:Arc> <gml:posList>60.02 10.1 60.01 10.2 60.03 10.03 </gml:posList></gml:Arc>Don't mind the numbers its from 2 different examples.

My 1st time to use web socket data stream service. I use WebSocketReceiver to connect to a wss service. After using a JSONExtractor toextract the needed key/value pairs, I can write the data into an Oracle non-spatial table. The data has latitude/longitude, so I add a VertexCreator to create a point. But as I connect the VertexCreator to an Oracle SDE or File Geodatabase feature class, and run the workspace, the streaming goes on, but nothing happens in the writer, the feature class in SDE or File GeoDB is not created. No errors. I am pretty sure the lat/long values are valid. Any clues?

Hi,The "Data Inspector" does not starting automatically anymore then "Connect Inspector" in FME Workbench ver FME(R) 2018.0.1.1 (20180615 - Build 18312 - WIN64).I have tried to uninstall and then install again... It is working if I click on "Enable Feature Caching" and then click on the "Click to inspect cached features". Then the Data inspector launches and is viewing the features. FME ver 2017 worked fine on my computer...And the inspector is not disabled and the job ended with "Translation was SUCCESSFUL".Best regards,Jonas

Hi there,We updated our FME Server to 2017 version a couple of months ago.I used to have a Master Workspace that control other process. In that Workspace, I set to run 6 others. I start runing 5 in parallel at the same time (5 different workspaces) and after it I put a FMEServerJobwaiter. So when all the 5 processes finish it start the 6, the last where I use the data created in the other 5.Now in 2017, it does not work anymore, the FMEServer only process one of the first 5, then when it get done it start another one (If I put parallel and set YES to wait) or put all of them to run at the same time if I put NO wait, but it also start the number 6 and it depends of the data of the first 5, so because of this I put a FMEServerjobwaitter before the 6 jobsubmitter because I just want that it start after the end of the other 5, but I want that the first 5 starts and run at the same time.Is it possible to achieve this?

'HTTP / 1.1 403 Forbidden' from Error For a few months I have been able to work with two workbenches that retrieve data from within the network and outside the network. but suddenly I encountered the following problem for both my workbenches in FME server 2018. The message that I get: Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP / 1.1 403 Forbidden' from When I make a request in IE or Chrome I get a message back.  With FME desktop I have no problem. I tried to fill in the token from FME server without result.

I am trying to publish a workspace to FME Sever with the ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) Reader and when I run the process it gives me the following errors:1. The Esri Product license used by this machine does not include licenses for the 'Advanced' licensing level.2. Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This is a 64-bit version of FME which requires a 64-bit version of ArcGIS Server. Or download and install a 32 bit version of FME. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more detailsDo I need to install an advanced license on the server or is it missing DLL files that I can load on the server with the FME process?Thanks,Chad

Assume we have a well populated PostGIS database with lots of metadata about raster and feature based data. (we are using FME Server, to farm the cloud and other sources and build the PostGIS database).Now we need a friendly user interface for search and download.What open source technologies would one use to create a end-user friendly catalog search and download system (web based). Something similar to what is located at: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset (I realize they just provide pointers to the original source, we would be caching the rasters and the feature in a datalake, and using PostGIS for the catalog/index) yea, the data.gov uses ESRI, but let's take that off the table.) If I had to do it by hand, I would use Leaflet or OpenLayers, but since this is such a common need, I wonder if someone has not already put that together).

FME Server 2016 and earlier have a setting for SECURITY_SUPERUSER_ROLE. The superuser has some permissions that you cannot give to other users, such as doing a backup / restore. Does FME Server 2017 have this concept? I don't see SECURITY_SUPERUSER_ROLE in the config files.It looks like the admin user is the default superuser, is that correct? If so, is it possible to grant other users the superuser powers? I would like to assign the superuser to an Active Directory group but can't figure out how to do that, even when logged in as the admin superuser.

I have a problem with FME Server 2018 with version 2018.1 - Build 18520 - win32I installed fme server on windows 10 32-bit and I got the license but engines are not available.I have tried many times to remove fme server and re-installing again but the same problem.When I opened web interface I got those error messages as attached.

This is a problem for us in our enterprise environment since we do not have authority to save files to C: drive (we use our own allocated space on E: drive). Is there way we can get all those files to install under our selected drive (E:) instead of C:?

Hi all,New to FME here. We are looking to install FME onto a virtual server (vX Rail platform), a single engine, express install.In the short to medium term we will be using FME moderately however some of the jobs we plan to run will be resource intensive (90 GB file conversions from GML to .SHP as an example, once every quarter).Our proposed setup would be, single server with 1 vCPU, 100 GB disk space for OS and FME server install, 1TB for DB repository and any other stuff such as scratch space, paging etc. Additionally we are considering 32 or 64 GB of RAM.What are your opinions on this proposed configuration? Looking at various other posts people are using much less RAM so I'm wondering if this is overkill, or is it actually sensible?How relevant is disk space to overall performance? would 500gb be sufficient for temp storage and the database?Thoughts would be appreciated!

I am loading a large workbench to my FME server, both version 2018, and I receive the following error message: Publish failed - FME Server encountered an error and reported the following message.Could not read FME Server response message. Connection may have been lost.An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote hostRequest to http://stpfme/fmerest/v3/repositories/Socrata/items returned status code 503. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Hi Guys,I have tested the workspace in workbench and published it into the server. When running the job manually from the fme server, it works. However when I call it from informatica http transformer, it does not work. Under job history in fme server, it can be seen that the job is being triggered from informatica but the end result is not there.I am trying to update a column in the database.Thank you.

Hi,I made a successful HTTP call (POST) and saved cookies.And also I was able to make GET HTTP call 1 using the above cookies in the Header fields.I also need to make another subsequent HTTP call 2 with already saved cookies earlier. How can I make this subsequent request with already saved cookies?Currently I get unauthorized error.Please help @takashi, @DeanAtSafe, @jlutherthomas, @trentatsafe, @danilo_fmeThank You,

Hi!recently a FMEServer managed by us stopped working after an automatic security check. The service was not able to start anymore, and I got the windows-error-popup with the message: "Windows could not start the FME Server Core service on HOST. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."The problem was the registry-key for starting the services: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/FME Server Core where the value with the image path was notin quotes: C:\Program Files (x86)\fmeserver\Server\WindowsService\FMEProcessMonitorCore.exe -s FME Server Core As unquoted service paths can be a risk in Windows, the radarservice automatically set the path in quotes, as there were blanks in theinstallation path (...\Program Files (x86)\...). But it set the whole expression in quotes, including the "-s". "C:\Program Files (x86)\fmeserver\Server\WindowsService\FMEPr

I have a workspace deployed on FME Server that takes a number of .jpg images and places a point, using image EXIF info, and creates an attribute with a link to the image. The destination file types are a shapefile and a KML. To create the link to the image I am pulling the filepath from the "fme_dataset" attribute. The issue is when I run this process on FME Server, using the Temporary Uploads/Upload File option, it reads the filepath from the temporary directory on the server where the image was uploaded to rather than the original image location.Does anyone have thoughts on how I can adjust the workbench or FME Server settings to retain the original filepath?Many Thanks, Dan 

I am trying to view the list of completed JOBs in FME Server (Manage> Jobs> Completed) and the page displays the following error: Error: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 3 of document : Character reference "" is an invalid XML character. Nested exception: Character reference "" is an invalid XML character.  This error does not occur in the list of running or queued JOBs. I get the impression that there is some error in the file that lists the LOGs already finalized. Is this correct? What file is this?
