I have added a new team member into FME Server, with fmeuser role. Basically this user only care read and Run workspaces under Parks repository so in FME Server under  Repositories slide-down I set this configurationbut when I checked the user in the Server end point I am seeing this:As you can see two Samples and Tools repositories also listed there! When I check back in Server side, looks like there are some circled-checks on read and run options for these two! Now can you guys pleas let ne know how I can force this user to ONLY have access into Parks repository using the fmeuser role.  

Hello,We have updated FME Server from 2020 to 2022.2. Then there is something wrong with the upload files : We publish into FMEServer a workbench containing a "File/URL" User parameterThen we RUN the workspace 2 times : The file we upload has the same name, but the content of these 2 files is different--> FME Server doesn't update the file located here : FME Server\\SystemShare\\resources\\system\\temp\\upload\\ if we don't purge the folder (In case we change the file name, it works well.)We have not encountered this problem with FME 2020.2 Can anyone help?Thank youRonan

I'm trying to prep a road network for use in the ShortestPathFinder. I found a flow on FME's documentation that looks like it does what I need (it uses a road network to prep for routing).  The first three steps appear to have run fine, but I think the Snapper step keeps repeating. The following line has reached 100% completion 3 times but every time it does, it starts over doing the same thing: "Intersection operation processing one line against many others... 99.34% doneIntersection operation processing one line against many others... 99.87% doneIntersection operation processing one line against many others... 100% doneIntersection operation processing one line against many others... 0.52% doneIntersection operation processing one line against many others... 1.05% doneIntersection operation processing one line against many others... 1.58% done" Below is a screenshot of the flow I'm running.  Am I correct that one step just keeps repeating? If so, how do I correc

Hi,I would like to create a fme server app where a user can upload multiple ZIP files. For each zipfile I would like to call a FeatureReader for one file within the zip file. How can I accomplish that?I tried the directory and file path names reader but this gives an error in FME server saying it expects a folder and not a file.Thank you

I have a (FME Form 2023.0) workbench that generates three Excel files, where running locally via FME Form gets me a zip with this structure:my_data_$(TODAY).zipfoo_$(TODAY).xlsxbar_$(TODAY).xlsxbaz_$(TODAY).xlsxAll three XLSX files are generated by three separate writers and have very distinct structures and different template files. When I publish the workbench to FME Flow and try running it with the DataDownload or Data Streaming services, however, I get a completely mangled zip file with this structure insteadOutput8719176120317945288.zipXLSXW_1foo_.xlsxXLSXW_2bar_.xlsxXLSXW_4baz_.xlsxIt seems like both services ignore whatever path the readers are configured to write to, and instead use a XLSXW_1_DATASET override that gets set by FME Flow, whose value seems to be $(FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR)/MULTI_WRITER_KEYWORD{0} with the file name appended at the end, without parameter expansion. Is there anything I can do to control the file structure inside that generated zip file, or perhape have a

Hi, Following the documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Starting-Stopping-FME-Flow-Manually.htm I tried to enable HTTPS for the server (FME Flow 2023.1 Build 23619 - win64). I can browse via HTTPS to my server without problem.When trying to run a job (Run Workspace / Samples / austinApartments.fmw / Data Download) I end up with an error 500. In the log (D:\\FMEFlow\\ProgramData\\resources\\logs\\tomcat\\NAME\\localhost***.log): SEVERE [https-jsse-nio-443-exec-8] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke Servlet.service() for servlet [JobRunnerForm] in context with path [/fmeserver] threw exception   javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty Is it safe to attach the full log files ? Best regards, Endorria

The municipality of Eindhoven intends to change the current way of 'authentication' to 'SAML' authentication.The current way of authenticating is based on 'Windows Active Directory'.Within Eindhoven we use the publishing of FME Desktop scripts to FME server via the so-called 'FMEServerJobSubmitter'.This is based on an Active Directory account.FME version 2022.2.1 On the Safe website we find several articles that authentication within an FME flow via SAML does not support a number of transformers.One of them is the 'FMEServerJobSubmitter'. Two possible 'workarounds' are mentioned.We do have some questions about this. Hopefully someone can comment on this. 1.    Use a System AccountFME Server can consist of both SAML and system user accounts. Consider creating a system user account whose credentials can be shared with those users who author workspaces in FME Desktop. This account can be used to create the web connection for FME Server trans

Hi all.Running 2022.2.6 on Windows.My server is stacked with a 100 Gb C drive, and a 200 Gb E drive.I would like to move the location where FME server stores the job log files from C to E, and have therefore edited the file "C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\config\\logger\\engine\\messagelogger.properties", changing the location in LOG_FILE_PATH to a path on the E drive.But after restarting FME server, it still writes the job log files to the old default location on the C drive !!!Is the logger property even used ?Cheers.Lars

Hello,I am trying to execute an job in datastreaming via HttpCaller.The message I get back is "HTTP/1.1 401" although I have my login data filled in.I tried to use my usernmae and pw on the browser, it works fine.Just the transformer tells me its not ok.I tried the two possibilities mentioned here for users without a token : https://community.safe.com/s/article/401-unauthorized-error-when-making-fme-server-requDoesn't work either way.... Maybe someone stumbled accross a similar problem and has a solution ?  

Hi Holly,I am addressing you since your name ison the article(https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server?t=1694673698026)and it is not possible to leave a comment I have implemented the WMS via FME Flow and I have noticed a strange behavior that I wanted to report.When requesting data from the WMS service I have noticed that the client (QGIS) creates a request per layer. This is as expected, however on the FME Flow side I get 2 identical requests for each WMS layer. This doubles the response time of the WMS service and uses twice the resources on FME, is this something you can look into and reproduce? Since the WMS request is done via the GetCapabilities workspace is there a way to remove this duplicate request before they trigger the GetMap workspace?Cheers,Itay

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

 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.htmHowever, 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 Postgr

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.

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 

Is there a method to read all workspaces on a server ex. list all workspaces that have specific transformer or list all workspaces that have specific parameter.  Also, where are workspaces on a server? Is there a Folder for workspaces? Are they ascii readable? Thanks in advance

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 stra

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.

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.

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.

I created an FME Server role that provides read-only access to view FME workspaces published there (i.e. - Workspace Viewer). I would also like to add read-only access to view items under Schedules but only see options for Full Access or None for a role's permisssions. is there a way to provide read-only acccess to Schedules? We are currrently running FME Server 2020.1.2.1 (Build 20624).

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?

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.

Hello, I need to migrate roles and the users linked to it.Does FME Flow automaticaly include the users if I add the role or do I have to import them seperately?
