What ports do I need to open on my firewall to ensure I have full functionality of the FME Server WebUI?

In FME Academy I follow the trail 'Publish Workflows to the web' and use the FME Virtual Machine created in Strigo. In topic 3 Exercise: Publish to FME Server the webconnection 'Training FME Server' allready exist, so I can publish my workspace, which works fine. But in the next excercise I need to login with given credentials in topic3. I assumed I could use the same credentials but the password 'FMELearnings' is not the password I can use to login. I would like to know where I can request the correct password. It would be nice if the login to FME Server in the VM would use the same credentials as given in the exercise!

I have previously successfully configured FME Server with an Azure File Share as the System Share using a UNC path, but have not tried it with blob storage. Is this supported? If, so how do I configure it?

I want to do a cleanup of FME Server and remove topics and subscriptions that are not being used by any workspaces on the server. Is there a way to see what topics are being used other than going through each workspace individually?

Hi! I've made a FME Server Workspace app that makes backup files from databases and files on servers. When I run it in FME Desktop on my computer I can access my computer's file system and save the backup files on a USB stick for example. When I run it as an FME Server app I can't access my computer's file system to point out the destination for the backup files. Is there a way to do that?

Hi, has anyone ever tried the QGISPrinter extension (https://vstore.veremes.net/vstore/dashboard/documents/58) in a FME server treatment? thanks Fanny

I am using FME Server 2022.2 and am logged in as Admin but am unable to view the dashboards. I get a message "Please ask your Server Administrator to grant 'Access' and 'List' permissions to the Resource named Dashboards. You will not be able to view any Dashboard reports without this permission." However, when i check the user's permissions for the Admin account everything seems correct. Access is granted in the Dashboards section, and also granted in the Resources section / Dashboards to access and list. Any ideas whats going on, is this a bug, or more likely operator error....

When performing a simple extraction of some objects from the Smallworld base (GIS), such objects are being ignored in the export, as you can see in the attached log. The skipped features can be seen on line 458 of the log. What makes the analysis difficult is that the export does not show any errors. Version: FME Server 2014 SP2 - Build 14339 - win32 Thanks!

Hello, Are there still no plans for FME2022 to support Ubuntu 22.04 ? In other question it was mentioned that FME2023 will support Ubuntu 22.04. When is the release planned ? Thanks!

I have rows of data with columns enter/exit time and license plate I want to combine the rows so that there are rows of three columns: enter time exit time license plate For each license plate and enter time, I want it to choose the closest exit time which comes after the enter time. Attached is an image of the input data as well as an image of what we want to create on the output. The small dataset is also attached. Input: Output: How can I achieve this with FME?

I am trying to use webhook with the FME server, and the service requires the web server must support GET/ to confirm the reachability of the server. How do I enable GET within the FME server's automation to return a success message?

Hello! Hopefully someone can answer this! For a bit of context, this pertains to FME Server version 2020.2.2. I am working on developing a script that will be triggered in an outside application and will use HTTP requests to send information to FME Server for processing. I have a webhook set up for this and have verified that it runs successfully and the script is able to submit what it needs via an HTTP GET request. The thing is I also want to be able to automatically extend the token's expiry date through the same script. From what I understand, a PUT request would do the job...but I'm having issues figuring out how this part of the script would be authorized. My first question is: does a PUT request require some sort of special API access? Any attempts at testing are being met with an "insufficient privileges" error message even though I'm the user/owner who generated the webhook. My second question, which sort of ties into the first: since this is going to be executed from an outsi

I am new to FME server and I have been trialing creating a few apps for people to use around my organisation. One of the apps is a simple task where the user drags in an excel file and some analysis is done on it before a number of different files are written. The first writer is an excel dataset that is fanned out based on one of the input fields, the second is a set of CSV's that just summarise a few duplicates that appear in the original dataset. When running on FME desktop both files are created in the relevant folders and all appear to be complete. However when running the output zip file from the "Data Download" app only contains the outputs from the excel writer within the workspace. Do I need to set something up within FME server to tell it to expect outputs from multiple writers? I'm currently running FME server 2020.0 Thanks in advance for the help.

I want to calculate a buffer around a point using the geometry picker in fme server. Can I use the geometry picker to select/draw a point instead of a polygon or rectangle? :)

We have two FME machines (FME1 & FME2) hosted in azure and is been accessed via a DNS name URL (e.g. fme.domain.com). Issue: If both the VMs are running, the the fme server URL is throwing authentication error and not allowing us to login. If one of the machines (anyone) is removed from azure, then the FME URL is launching fine. What could be the reason? From our initial investigation, we found that the machine keys of both the machines are different, but the serial numbers are same.

Hi, I have a number of outgoing webhooks from MS Teams that call tasks to run in FME Server that then respond back with a message in MS Teams. That's great but I would also like to be able to pass messages into parameters. e.g. From MS Teams send this: @FME Server 'check this' The 'check this' could then be received into a new parameter and used by a workbench job. Has anyone had any luck doing this? Many Thanks!

It seems like this should allow for more itemized day selection, week selection, month selection. We want to setup multiple automations and it does not seem like I can do that, exactly.

Can a subscription of type httprequest have a target URL that is using HTTPS instead of HTTP?

We have FME Server hosted on a docker environment. We are using AWS, for database we are using RDS postgres, and for storage, we are using EFS. On one server we are running all core components using docker-compose. and we have lambda-based engine deployment using separate EC2 servers. Of course, both core and engine are using postgres RDS and EFS. What would the upgrade process look like? Our goal is to upgrade without losing any repository, server configuration, job logs, automation, schedules, etc.

I tried to uninstall using the FME Server installer (EXE) file, the status stay at "removing files" for long time without progression. I tried to uninstall the server from Windows control panel, the process hangs as well. I need to reinstall the server from C:\\ to D:\\ drive, the repair does not allow me to do that. Please advise how I can remove the Server 2021 from Window 2019 server platfor. Thanks Helen

We have two FME Server environments als on two different computer environments. I copied the content of the .fsproject file from one computer environment into the other computer environment by means of copy/paste into a text file and then changing the extention to .fsproject (it's a bit of hack). No idea by doing that the .fsproject will be altered. However, I am then trying to import the project(.fsproject file) into the 2nd FME Server environment via "Projects" < "Manage projects" <"import". I am dragging the .fsproject file into and then clicking on "Import". After running, I get the following error: I changed our domains name to "nameofname" for security reasons. COM.safe.fmeserver.configuration.migration.FMEConfigurationException: java.io.IOException: Error on ZipFile \\nameofdomain\aplroot$\APLDATA\FMESERVER\resources\system\temp\tomcat\22e287e6b3514dc9b4dd095174c01fb7\restServerRestore.fsconfig PROJECT IMPORT : FAILURE Task Failed : Please refer to above message I tried using so

We have a job running as a stream, it is not using any specific stream transformers, but it calls an API endpoint and just runs over and over (~10s) as fast as it can poll the API and write the data. The problem is the engine does not release memory between runs, so it slowly grows and grows. And if left for weeks unchecked the server starts having low memory issues. We can stop and start the stream and it will release the memory back. There is the server config setting MAX_TRANSACTION_RESULT_SUCCESSES which we have set to the default 100, but this does not seem to restart the engine and release the memory. Not sure if a stream just counts as 1 success so it never gets to 100 or what. So, wanted to reach out for any possible solutions for this? Only idea we have is to make and schedule a job that can call the v4 API to stop and start the stream every night. Any better ideas? Maybe some configuration we are missing? Thanks a lot!

For FME Server what are the practical differences between internal and remote Version Control? What considerations should we to take into account about when choosing between them?
