Help with spatial predicates

Please excuse the crude drawing. I'm using a SpatialRelator with the red features in the Suppliers port, and the blue feature in the Requestor port. Features #1 and #3 need to pass the spatial predicate due to the relation between them being multiple verts (a line). Feature #2 would not pass, due to only having a single vert in common. None of the default spatial predicates will exclude #2 from the test. So, I've been trying various matrix to find a solution, but none seem to work. What would be the appropriate DE-9IM matrix, given that it is only polygon features being used? I have been referencing this help page: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/spatialrelations.htm#Dimensio

How to use a defined storageclass for postgresql in a kubernetes deployment

Hi, I'm trying to configure a new FME Flow deployment with a new customer. They would like to keep all storage on the same storageclass: azurefiles-fmeserver. This storage class is created as highlighted in 3. Setup Shared Storage using Azure Files: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Kubernetes/Kubernetes-Deploying-to-AKS.htm However, if storage.postgresql.class is filled in, the deployment does not work. If this parameter is empty, the deployment completes and the storageclass: default is chosen. We have tried adding multiple different parameters in the postgresql.primary parameters, but none that helped us. Is there anyone who has had the same issue? Below is a exert of the Values.YAML file. storage: useHostDir: false reclaimPolicy: Delete postgresql: size: 1Gi class: azurefiles-fmeserver path: fmeserver: accessMode: ReadWriteOnce size: 10Gi class: azurefiles-fmeserver path: # It is recommended not to modify those parameters # For more options regarding PostgreSQL dep

Map Configuration button of Geometry Picker doesn't work (or show) in 'Full window mode'?

It seems to me that the Map Configuration window doesn't work (or show) anymore when using the Geometry Picker in 'Full window mode'. I can also imagine that technically the window/menu does work/show, but is placed behind the 'full/expanded window' of the Geometry Picker, causing it not to be accessible/usable. To be clear. What I'm talking about is this menu/window, which does work when using the Geometry Picker in 'Inline mode'; However, when I use the Geometry Picker in 'Full window mode', nothing seems to happen/show if I click on the Map Configuration button. E.g.; Are others also experiencing this issue? Is this a known bug? ps. I'm using FME Flow 2023.0.0.1 (b23288) on Linux.

Unable to upload file as an input

Hi all, I have a workspace that was running fine on server, but now the user is unable to upload an input file as a temporary resource. The upload says completed but the OK button is greyed out. This seems to be the case with all workspaces, not just the one in question. Any ideas whats going on? Thanks, Owen

Data Streaming/Download Help

Hi, I am new to using data download or streaming in FME Server, I have only used job submitter up until now. I am wanting a very basic workspace to generate a CSV which is then returned to the user via the web browser, once they run a fme workbench via FME Server directly (Server App). Does anyone know which method would be best to return just the CSV file, on demand, direct to the users web browser for download? I am looking through the help files for examples on best practice, but its all a bit confusing. I have currently got a workbench published to server, and its using data download as its registered service, but it keeps downloading a zip file with a half dozen sub folders within, then my CSV file with its associated data. I am presuming I have over complicated things. In essence, I am hoping to get the results of this workbench to the user via a CSV which they can download to their PC: Can anyone point me to any guides or tutorials on how to do this in the most simple and straig

Lettered Path vs UNC Path and Access Database

I have a workspace where the Reader reads an Access database using a lettered drive path (K:\\projects\\databases\\access.mdb) The Writer writes to the same database using the same lettered drive path. When I publish this workspace to FME Flow without uploading/selecting files, the Database Path under Published Parameters is empty. ​ But, when I change the database paths in my workspace to a UNC path (\\\\gisserver1\\projects\\databases\\access.mdb), I publish the workspace (without uploading/selecting files) and I see the UNC path to the Access Database populated in Published Parameters - Database Path. ​ If my workspace reads from a lettered drive path and the database is Microsoft Access, when I publish the workspace, do I need to upload/select files? This would upload the Access database to FME Server.

Anyone have any ideas or tips on how to move submitted jobs to a new queue?

We (rarely) get a glut of job submissions to some of our FME Server queues (Running on FME Cloud). These glut of jobs usually come from someone who has automated a bunch of submissions (we're totally fine with that). We want these jobs to be processed, but at the same time we still want to be able to handle other user requests in a timely manner. I created an idea over here which would help me: https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0rDm000001Sf7kIAC/option-to-move-submitted-queued-jobs-to-new-queue It outlines the scenario in more details. Just looking for tips or idea on how to work around this. The service in question is essentially just a clip and snip but depending on what the user wants the request can take anywhere between 10 seconds and an hour or so to process.

How to get notified about MQTT-connectors disconnecting?

We sometimes have a problem with our MQTT-connector that is disconnecting (always running on our FME Server), but it only shows in the log as a warning. 21318 2021-5-17 11:08:21 | MQTTConnector: Unexpectedly disconnected from broker. Will attempt to reconnect automatically... Error: Connection Refused: unacceptable protocol version. Restarting it works just fine, but it didn't try to reconnect, or at least no log message about it. It was haulted like that for 10 days until I manually stopped & started it … When this happenes, the job seems to be running like normal, and you manually has to go into the log (when running) to see that the job has stopped receiving data from the MQTT-provider. I had to implement a separate test on a different FME Server job to check whether sensordata came in or not, but the optimal would be to get a notification (eg. by email) if the connection is not reestablished within a few seconds. Looking forward to suggestions & future updates. Kenneth. Edit: We ar

How to check if database is availabe?

To provide high availability of data, client is having two data servers. We need to check for existing database connection failure in FME Work flow and pull data from backup data server. If there is no failure at 1st connection, then no need to proceed for backup server. Is there any possibility for this king of approach in FME?

Urgent: OnlineSharePoint Connector no longer working since upgrading to 2023.0.0.3 from latest 2022 build.

Hello "Safers" Actually the graph.microsoft.com API seems "broken" (SSL Issue). I can re-authenticate all of my current Web Connections as well as successfully testing the "Managed Services" Not sure what has changed here. FME Server has been configured to use HTTPS, as usual, making use of our enterprise cert. The certificate is fine. Everything was working as intended prior to the upgrade. Error message: `SharepointOnlineConnector: Could not connect to server. Check that you are connected to the internet and that no firewall is blocking outbound connections. The error was 'HTTPSConnectionPool(host='graph.microsoft.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1.0/sites/molevalleydc.sharepoint.com,3824d824-4277-4293-8bf0-37e0242f40e6,6473e0ea-d0df-4cb7-8269-1cbb5e31d620 (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1002)')))'' Thanks Sameer

Job Cancel and engine restart

Hi, I have a question regarding job cancelling on FME server UI. I have a job running which I would need to cancel during it running. When I select the job and click cancel button, it will cancel job but starting the engine. and all others in the queue will be failed directly. I would like to know if there is a way that we can cancel running jobs without restarting engine and the next in the queue will be starting to run? I did realise we could set up "Running Job Expire Time" to cancel job with specific max running time. but I would like to know, if I set it, when it cancel job that over that time, will engine be restart? Thanks for any advice in advance

2023: Deployment parameters for CI/CD

We are looking at automated deployment options for publishing to FME Flow/Server via Azure pipelines. Has anyone else carried out any prototyping with the new deployment parameters in 2023? I'm trying to figure out if a 2023 upgrade will be essential to proceeding with automated deployment for us? Or do we go with a small step now in 2022, deploying projects via Azure pipelines and perhaps manually changing the connections in Server (ugly - but a step in the right direction). I've had a look at these posts: Post 1, Post 2 These seem to say that there are/were issues with Projects and that hacking was needed to get it up and running. Is this something that will be alleviated with Flow/Server 2023? Thanks, Annette Stedin, Rotterdam

Cascading selection dropdown list

I need to build a mobile form to field works. I would like to know if there is a way to filter a dropdown list from another dropdown list. For example: The first dropdown list contains: Fruit and Vegetables and the second one contains: "Apple", "Peach", "Lettuce" and "Tomato". If I select "Fruit" in the first list, the second one only must be shown "Apple" and "Peach". And if I select "Vegetables", only must be shown "Lettuce" and "Tomato". Is it possible to do this?

Owner transfer of automations faulty?

Hi! We are using FME Server 2022.1, I am currently dealing with a role-rights concept and have encountered a problem with owner transfer of automations. I consider the following case: User A has a classic Author role and publishes a FMW workspace on the server. An automation is set up for the published workspace, also by user A. User A leaves the company and all items are transferred to a user B with identical rights. User A's account is deleted. This works great for all items tested, just the automation. If you try to execute the automation transferred to user B (time-controlled or by manual trigger) the error message appears: User "User A" does not have Run permissions for repository "XYZ"; the triggered job was skipped. The automation seems to still know the original owner even after transferred ownership - The log also shows: [...] --FME_SECURITY_USER "user A" --FME_SECURITY_ROLES "["user:user A", "testrole", "fmeauthor"]" --FME_SERVER_RUNTIME_USER "user A" [...] As I said, user A
