General

I am wondering if it is possible to use the FME Server Failover configuration to set-up a semi-automatic failover system. Rather than sharing a fault tolerant web application server and database between the production and failover FME Server Cores and FME Engines, could the failover web application server and database be created or restored manually when the production environment fails? See the attached architecture that I am proposing. To put it another way, I would like to use FME Server Configuration backups and FME Database backups to restore our production FME Server environment in a failover environment after the failover has occurred. This would just help us avoid having to request a new FME Server license when we are restoring to a new environment in the event of a server failure.

Hi, Since we upgraded FME Server a few months ago from 2016 to 2017 I've been unable to chain jobs together successfully when using the FMEServerJobSubmitter Transformer. I have two workbench's on server which need to run in sequence, the workbenches are run in sequence by creating a third workbench utilising the FMEServerJobSubmitter transformer. Since upgrading to 2017 the 3rd workbench used to chain the jobs together just hangs on server when run until i eventually cancel this? All jobs are set to run on the same engine, it's as if the the chain jobs workbench is waiting for the 1st workbench to run, however because the chain jobs workbench is running it needs to clear before the first workbench can run!? Never has this issue with Server 2016? It's worth noting that since we upgraded from 2016 to 2017 we increased our server engine capacity from 1 to 2. I can of course set the chain jobs workbench to run on a different engine, however for operational purposes this isn't a viable sol

This should be done with the kmlpropertysetter in the workspace but it is not working, my version of FME is 2017.1.2.1 This is a part of the fme-desktop-basic-training-2017 what is wrong?

Hi Team Fmeiers, I wanted to change the publish parameter value in fme server for each run. for example existing system we have is: fme desktop,in my fmw file the buffer value is published. and every time i run thru batch file, i can change the buffer values by editing batch file. fme.exe c:\\temp\\create_road.fmw --buffer 50 fme.exe c:\\temp\\create_road.fmw --buffer 100 fme.exe c:\\temp\\create_road.fmw --buffer 150 here the bat file calls the same fme workspace three times with different buffer values. calling this batch file windows scheduler , three different time intervals. upgraded to fme server 2017 Now, this fmw file is published in fme server and this job is scheduled in server three times a week how can I achieve the same task using fme server. your help will be appreciated.

Thanks Safe

Is there a way to extract a JSON list of the jobs that have been canceled or failed? I can only really see a list for jobs that are either queued, running or completed? Ideally this would be great if this could be accessed via the REST API

I have a lot of scripts that all write to point feature classes in a 10.4.1 SDE Database in SQL Server 2012. The source comes from one of 3 databases types, SQL 2012, SQL 2014, or Oracle 11G. They all are the same as far as errors go so either it's my SDE or FME itself. I even inspected everything I could and on a few I did get error while running and cleared up those small data issues, but they all produce the same error codes on crash dialog box I show at the bottom of this post when I close the Inspector app. I have tried to redo from scratch a few of my scripts but they ALL are crashing like I show below. I am using the latest version 2017.7.27.17725, I had 2017.7.27.17539 and it did the same exact thing and I thought upgrading would do the trick, but no.... I have redone all my readers and writers, fished through all my data and data types, redone queries, redone my writer feature classes in my SDE, and even filtered the coordinates to fit in the state because we are using UTMs in

Hello, is there online service to convert data with FME. We need it just time to time? API interface would be appriciated.

Hi I want to use FME Server to work with data from Database (DB1) and Fileshare (FS1) and transform them and place in Database (DB2) and Fileshare (FS2). All Source and Destination resources are located on different, separate machine. Do I need to run FME Server services (FME Serv App Server, FME Serv Core, FME Serv Database, FME Serv Engines) on such user account which has an access to all resources DB1, FS1, DB2 and FS2?

In FME Desktop, the FME Script ends with Successful translation. But when running in FME Server, it stops after Total Features Written based on the log file. Does not close the geodatabase and does not show the translation was successful log. This is why the job is marked as failed in FME server. Reader and Writers are both ArcGIS SDE Geodatabase

I have two Netapp share locations mounted to an instance of FME Server on Linux. These locations are setup as FME Server Resources. Jobs can successfully write out to one of them but not the other. All permissions are EXACTLY the same on both Netapp shares. I am at a loss as to what could be going on here.

Hello, I've a master model that calls multiple job submitter and it successfully runs on FME Desktop. However, when I run it on FME server, even though the transaction was said to be successful, FME Server still reports as translation failed. "FMEWorkspaceRunner: The translation failed, review log for details" I check the log and it does not have any error. Can you please give advice to where I should look to resolve this issue? I'm using FME Server 2015, FME Desktop 2015 and ArcGIS 10.3

Hi, We recently upgraded FME Server to 2017, our schedules are running correctly however when running a workspace through the web interface it return an error message "There was an error submitting the job". Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Chris

Hi, We've just upgraded FME server from 2016 to 2017. The restore has been successful and all repositories and schedules are currently up and running with the exception of those workbenches where the FMEServerJobSubmitter transformer is embedded. They are failing because the FME Server web url has been modified during the upgrade procedure and now requires the port number to be suffixed to the url, for example should be - http://scnfme.mycounil.gov currently - http://scnfme.mycouncil.gov:8080 How can the port number be removed from the url? I have modified the url settings in services to no avail. Thanks in advance, Chris

If I hit the Topic Monitoring Tab: The current status says Connecting. After a few seconds the Current Status returned to stopped. The status is never "Started" Any advice to get the Topic Monitoring working?

I have an FME Server workbench that is registered with the data download service, and the download link is correctly included in the success email when ran on-demand. However when scheduled and linked to a default topic (DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS) that the Data Download success email is subscribed too, no download link is contained within the email. What am I missing?

Hi, We have some apps based on examples from FME Playground. I wonder how to deploy them and transfer except that manually? I used to put them directly into FME Server's tomcat webapps folder. But there is no way to include them into Project and thus, backup them. Maybe it would be possible to add ability to easily add URL redirection to a folder inside repository on FME server. That way including Repository folder inside a project will include web app as well. Thanks,

Hi, It would be useful to be able to change the color scheme of FME Server web interface, to quickly distinguish between DEV and PROD server. Thanks

With FME Server 2016, I licensed with a temporary license, but now I want to put the permanent license, and the web page Engines & Licensing don´t show the button necessary. Look below:

Apart from being able to connect to Oracle or SQL Server, is there any major difference between the express and distributed installation for FME Server

Why does the FME Serer Web interface not display fully when I try to login through the web interface. The login button is not complete.

If I install with Express Install, everything works. However, I am trying to install with a separate system database and I'm seeing that the Web User Interface is missing a lot of pages and rendering incomplete in others. In the past, with the same type of installation, I have had problems with being able to publish to FME Server and register with services.

Hi, basically I can't get any data (even preview) with this reader. I defined utm zones for my region and always get this error: SENTINEL2 reader: Cannot find Query_Options.Band_List What to do? Where to define this query?

Can I use IIS as the Web Application Server? I don't know much about Tomcat.
