Hello, I would like to ask about Rest API v3 support. For how long will it be supported yet, before it will be needed to switch to v4?

Hello everyone, I published a workspace with a Shapefile Reader to FME Server . When I choose 'Run Workspace' to run it, and solely upload the .shp file, it runs correctly. For my colleagues, I made a Workspace App to run it. However, when running it through the app, I get the "Shapefile Reader: The .dbf for (...) could not be found." warning in the logfile. Naturally, there is no correct output subsequently. Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong or how it is technically possible that the exact same workspace with the exact same parameters runs differently for both interfaces? Note: I used a File/URL parameter for the Writer and specified the extension filters in the file/URL configuration to be .shp and .shz. Thanks in advance, Fleur

Hi everybody, On FME Server, by means of Notifications (classic), I am trying to configure the Subscription "JobSubmitter_Email_JobSuccess" so that, when ANY workspace is run sucessfully on FME Server, I receive the job log as an attachment in an email message. The email message itself arrives to my email account, meaning that my TOPIC and SUBSCRIPTION are correctly configured. But the attachment does not come along. Following the inscructions on https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/ReferenceManual/About_Log_Files.htm#FME I am trying to insert the expression <LogDir>\\engine\\current|old\\jobs\\<number>\\job_<value>.log in the "Email Attachment (optional)" field. I am therefore trying to adapt it to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_LOG)/engine/current/jobs/<number>/job_{id}.log The problem is that <number> is not a defined folder, and I cannot find a way to replace it with a valid alternative. I already tried: $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_LOG)/engine/current/jobs/*/job_{id}.log $(FME_SH

Does anyone know how to tell FME Server which DNS server to use? Thanks.

I have a Workspace with a Schema reader to read a set of FGDBs on a network share. It is working when I run in Desktop but failing with theses errors when I publish to server. I have checked and double checked that I am looking at the same file share location in both server and desktop and I have published the workspace using the same user id that I'm using to run the workspace as well as using that id to run the run it on the server. I'm running version 2019.1.3.1 on both Desktop and Server. Anyone else encounter this before? Thanks, 73 Geodatabase Error (-2147024891): Access denied. 74 Could not open File Geodatabase dataset <'My File Share Folder'> for reading

I have an issue with FME Server not using the correct ESRI license. I have many workbenches running on my server that require a PRO license, all of them are running successfully except one. One of these workbenches had been running fine until a few days ago when it started requesting a ArcGIS 10.8 license instead of Pro. It will sometimes grab the correct license and run successfully but not usually. I have checked the python compatibility and all of them are set to FME Python 3.8+. I have checked and nothing has changed on our servers or with any of the workbenches. We are using FME Server 2021.2.6.

Hi all, I have done some searching for a solution but I have come up empty handed thus far, I am hoping someone can assist. I am running the stock standard backupConfiguration.fmw that comes out of the box with FME Server, but each time I try to run it, I am getting the below error: 60 2022-6-15 08:03:49 | HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): An error occurred while accessing the URL 'https://PANDORA:443/fmerest/v3/migration/backup/download' 61 2022-6-15 08:03:49 | The below feature caused the translation to be terminated83 2022-6-15 08:03:49 | Terminator (TestFactory): Terminator: Termination Message: 'Unable to retrieve backup from FME Server `https://PANDORA:443' Please ensure that the credentials are correct and that user `benva' has fmesuperuser role.

When using a FeatureWriter with strings functions in the Dataset, the file is written correctly when using the Job Submitter service but not with the Data Download and Data Streaming services. Specifically, the string functions are not evaluated. In this particular case, I want to append the file name with the current date. It seems this has worked correctly in the past. Has something changed, or should it not be possible to do this using those services?

We recently upgraded to FME Server 2022.2 and were having issues adding an emailer to an FME Automation. After inserting an emailer within an Automation, we are receiving an error when attempting to validate the email after putting in the Client ID of the app registration that we created within Azure Active Directory App Registration. We are receiving this error when validating: Is there a walkthrough going over the new Microsoft Office365 email authentication within FME Server? I see the FME Desktop emailer has been updated to use a web connection, and I'm able to successfully create this web connection and send an email, but still having issues within FME Server email automation.

I am trying to add a web service on the FME server (Google Sheets - safe google sheets). I put in the credentials and click authorize, a pop up appears. It says "FME wants to access your Google Account", I click allow. Then the page refreshes and says: Make sure you trust FME Sign in or provide access to FME To sign in or provide access: Copy the authorization code from the Authorization code section. Navigate to FME. Paste the authorization code on the FME screen. Authorization code Please copy this code, switch to your application and paste it there Where do I navigate to FME? On the Web? Where do I paste the code? I checked my google account's security for FME and there is no option of adding the code.

We have dozens of socrata writers that we need to re-point to a new domain. What is the best way to programmatically repoint to the new domain and test that the writers are still working after the migration? e.g. domain1.com/1234 -> domain2.com/1234 domain1.com/5678 -> domain2.com/5678

I am using the AzureBlobStorageConnector in my workbench, which takes as a parameter a "Container" value. I have been using just the name of the container, which is a published string parameter. This works when running the workbench locally as well as when running it from the FME server interface. My issue is when I attempt to create a "Repeat on Interval" schedule; for this parameter, when I enter the container name as a string value, I get the following error and the schedule cannot be created: Unexpected value "["containername"]" for parameter "value", expected scalar Is this expected behaviour? Is there another format I am supposed to enter this name in instead?

Is it possible to get FME Server to run and process an ArcGIS Python script on a different server? ​ I have an ArcGIS Pro​ script that undertakes some map series functions but the script won't run on the FME Server. My guess is a permissions, user, python version or path issue but haven’t been able to get it to run successfully on the FME Server. I have installed ArcGIS Pro but with no luck. ​ So I waz thinking if the script resides on an ArcGIS Server then maybe that would solve the problem but cannot figure out if it is feasible. ​ Does anyone know what i can do? ​ Regards Dean

We do not have image backup of the VM. We detected the problem too late

Hello everyone, Let's say that I need to launch the same workspace 1 000 000 times (one for each object i have in entry). This workspace would have some tester, filter, geometry transformers. I have planned on using the FME Rest API to launch my jobs. I will launch them by batch of 10 000 jobs (so 100 batchs in total) Is it a good way to do it ? I would be happy to read your advices !

Hi, Is there a way to get FME Server to notify a topic when a job fails to start from the queue because of invalid or missing parameters? We submit an async job, which returns 202 and a job number. It sits in the queue for a while, and then fails when it comes up to be run. Submitting sync jobs with invalid parameters return a 422 immediately, along with an error message. The job doesn't run, so doesn't trigger start/stop scripts, and doesn't appear to notify the Failure topic either. I've been searching around for a while but haven't found anything helpful yet. Thanks, Andy

I have an environment with FME Server 64 bits 2018.1, and ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 A workspace contains a SystemCaller transformer that is able to run this: $(PythonEXE) -c "import this". the parameter PythonEXE is "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\framework\runtime\ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe" it works ok. An update to FME Server 2019.2.3 was made, now the execution of the SystemCaller allways fails: Update: Same happens in FME Server 2020.1.2.1 with ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Failed to Execute `""C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\framework\runtime\ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe"..... with this: `exit_code' has value `-1073740791' if I run the same command from a CMD it runs OK if I run the same command from a Powersehll it runs OK if I run the same command from a CMD with the credentials used by FME Server it runs OK if I run the same command from a Powersehll with the credentials used by FME Server it runs OK Is there any configuration or flag that i should act

FME Server 2022.0.0.2 Lots of instances of this error. I know it means bad geometry in the source data, just don't know how to fix it.

Is there any way where I access FME server Database which already installed when i install FME Server .

We have a pair of tasks running on FME Server, the first one selects a range of records to process and builds the predicate to access them, the second one uses this predicate to read and process. The first bit looks like this... (the min and max passed parameters are my fix) so we pass _where_clause to the called job. This has worked fine for 2 years with fme 2020.2. I've now updated to desktop and server 2022.1 and when that parameter is accessed in the called job I see.... so the parameter is not resolved. However if i take the min and max values from the calling model and pass them through i see... (to get the logger values I used an attribute manager to turn the user parameters into attributes ) Any idea what’s changed here?

Hi, I'm encountering an annoying issue where the DateTime picker stops working in the FME Server Web UI after the initial run of a workspace. It works the first time for any workspace, but when trying to run the same workspace again, the date time picker will not work in the UI and the date fields will be empty. Any date entered manually gets converted to the text "invalid date" in the subsequent request. The following errors appear in the console: Running FME Server 2022.1.2 Build 22627 - win64. Clearing the browser cache allows a single run of the workspace again before the issue reoccurs. Is this happening for anyone else?

Dear all, I hope the community is fine 🙂 I am using FME Server to run a workspace that has 2 optionals user parameters published. After launching the workspace, everything is ok. Next time I go to run the workspace, the optional parameter is set with the previous value. The user can click on the "reset" button to clear by himself, but I would like to know if there is a way to automatically clear these optional parameter values in FME Server? Kind regards, Aymeric

Hi all, Can this be done with published parameters and/or Python scripting in Server Apps? So, I would like to have two fields that are dependent. First field would be choice only and second field would be filtered based on the first field. Second field is multichoice. Only the values from the second field would be calculated for output. Example of a table with two columns Animal, Specs Cat, Black Cat, Halloween queen Dog, Brown Dog, Mr. Wednesday Dog, Loyal Giraffe, Small Giraffe, Excellent listener So, the first field would list all the animals and once the animal chosen, then the second field would list specifics for that animal only and then the user can choose from those for the output. Thanks in advance

I have a Server App with that converts coordinates in a Excel spreadsheet. I followed the Article: HTML Page with Link to Download Excel File - FME Server App (safe.com) And it works really well with small files but falls over with a 404 error with large spreadsheets. The workbench works fine on desktop, within Server & as an App without the webhook. Would anyone have any suggestions about what the issue maybe?
