Hello, I'm trying to implement a a html report when user runs my workspace app. When the workspace goes to failure I'd like that the server returns the log file straight to the user.

Hello, I have a (static) file in the FME Server resources folder and I would like to have a copy of this file to the output of my workspace. I tried AttributeFileReader with AttributeFileWriter. This gives a file in my output with the correct name, but it's unreadable. I also tried a FeatureWriter with File Copy but I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

I am getting error while starting the services on local machine where I install the FME Server

Hi, There is a workspace scheduled to run every hour on FME Server 2020 that is successfull all the time except some failures times to times. When it fails. the error is with the ArcGIS Online feature writer. From the logs, FME Server is then loading the Python 2.7 version of the writer instead of the Python 3.7 version like the other times. Here a success log: Here a failed log: The task fails with Python 2.7 simply because strings are not encoded in utf-8 so thats very annoying. The question is why FME Server sometimes switch to Python 2.7 instead of Python 3.7 when loading the ArcGIS Online Feature writer. How can I prevent that? Thanks

What would cause an FME Server job to successfully complete with no errors, but not create the expected output? In this workbench I have specified to write a file GDB to a zipped folder, which works as expected when running from Desktop. The log file from FME Server shows that 500k features were written as expected, but the file is not present in the output folder. I'm running this with the Job Submitter Service. I originally thought it was a permissions issue, but that does not seem to be the case since I didn't receive an error.

I am trying to email a file geodatabase. I quickly learned that FME Server doesnt like folders and will only zip and email files. So I went back to the desktop client and set the gdb to be zipped for output. Tested it on local storage and I get a valid zip archive that contains the gdb folder. I then publish that workspace to FME Server and run it with a geodatabase folder parameter of $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\BuildingFootprintQC\\BFP_overlaps.zip\\BFP_overlaps.gdb OR $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\BuildingFootprintQC\\ Neither works. The workspace runs without error but generates no output. I logged into the host server and checked the resources folders to make sure the zip is not there and indeed its not being created. How can I get FME Server to follow the desktop function of zipping the output so I can tell the email action in the automation to send the gdb as an attachment? Edit: I checked the log and the entry MULTIREADER: output will be zipped only appears when running on the de

Hi, I've recently completed a FME Server deployment on Azure Kubernetes and I'm positively thrilled about the capabilities of FME Server on this environment. The automatic scaling of the Azure node pools for dynamic engines makes it very easy for large requests to be handled easily by FME Server. When you assign a number of engines to a specific node pool with property: “compute” via a helm upgrade command - name: "dynamic-group-1" -> - name: "dynamic-group-1" engines: 2 engines: 8 type: "DYNAMIC" type: "DYNAMIC" nodeSelector: nodeSelector: property: compute property: compute Azure Kubernetes handles this perfectly with autoscaling and start up these nodes and engines without issue. However, I would expect that when these engines are not in use FME Server would interact with Azure Kubernetes to downscale the VM’s as they are not in use to preserve resources. Now, these VM’s keep running whilst there are no jobs being submitted to these dynamic engines and the deployment should be alter

I am trying to configure FME Server for HTTPS using a client provided pfx certificate. I have used this documentation, successfully completing steps 1-6. However I'm getting this error: I suspect there is an issue with the certificate, but I'm unsure where to begin looking, or how to fix. When looking at the certificate details, the Owner CN is '*.<client_website>.com, which differs from the local host FME Server is installed with. Is this the same as the hostname?

Hello everyone, and welcome to What's Up Wednesday. New FME Release I noticed that last week we released FME 2022.1.2 (build 22627). According to my information, the updates include: Snowflake Writer: multiple fixes and improvements, including Bulk writing support Transformer fixes: SQLCreator/SQLExecutor, DuplicateFilter, FeatureWriter, DatabaseJoiner, 2DGridAccumulator Format fixes: Revit, 12dXML, SpatiaLite, Cesium 3D, GTI Viewer ListSearcher: add a case-insensitive option I don't think there is anything major in there, so before rushing to update - especially at the enterprise level - I suggest you check the change logs to see if there are specific items that affect you. Incidentally, the FME Hub has already been updated to support this new build. Knowledge Article Updates I've started to get a handy automated message each week (thanks, Liz) that tells me which knowledge base articles have been updated. This week it is: FME Server Troubleshooting: Automations FME Server Troubleshoo

Hi, I'm new to FME server and I configured an smtp account to send system emails however something wrong is happening as no emails are actually sent. The configuration seems correct in Admin panel (configuration > system & email > email service) (correct info and validation test pass). However, the simple test of running a workspace with email notification on status does not work. Checking the subscribers logs (resources/logs/core/current/subscribers/emails.log) gives quite odd information: "801031 : Invalid SMTP server." I used the same SMTP configuration using an emailer transformer onto a workspace; everything works fine when running on the server. So I'm a bit confused here about why it gives this error since all other stuff seems OK ... (side note: I'm using infomaniak.com infrastructure for the mail server and they does not ask for 2nd auth or other protection for sending email from other apps) Thanks in advance!

Hello, I published a workbench on FME Server enabling version control. After having published I noticed that I am using a wrong number in the text. instead of -214 it should be -216. Can I change the text ? Or delete the version ? Thank you!

Hi, I have installed FME server, but after installing everything successfully I cannot see the fields for login in the web page. I have checked my firewall , couldn't find any blocker from there. I dont have any additional antivirus installed in my machine. Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

Hi, I am migrating my fme server installation to a new server, but I encountered error during the restoration process in the new fme server environment. The backup is from FME Server 2021, and I am restoring the backup in FME Server 2022. I have captured the error message and attached in this post. I would like to ask for some guidance here and hope to hear from the others who faced the same problem before.. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm playing around with FME Server Apps and I'm trying to return errors when uploaded files may be invalid. I used the Terminator transformer to set a custom error and can see in the Fail Status message in the job summary. But when the app hits the error I'm returned with 'We don't know what went wrong' . Has anyone managed to return a proper error? Cheers

Hi, I have successfully followed the below resources to get the SharePointOnlineConnector up and running on FME Server: https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-create-a-Sharepoint-Web-Connection I created my own Azure application to do this, and successfully test the authentication. The workspace works fine for a few days, untill the request token expires, it then fails to generate a new token until I manually reauthenticate. Is there a way around this @jlutherthomas​ ? I'm using FME Server 2021.1.1 Build 21619 - win64 Thanks

User has a workspace in a repo owned by them. How can I change the owner? Under items under user management I can not see category workspace.

Hi, Whenever I am going to run any workspace in FME server- I am getting a error message that "There was an error submitting the job", but I am unable to see any detail/log for the same.

we have make an app registration in azure by following this article: Configuring Azure Active Directory with FME Server (safe.com) I filled the tenant en client id etc from azure application to the server by new azure active directory but nothing happends after synchronizing. must we make an enterprise appliaction ( so it says on fke server "Before you begin...") in stead off an app application? where can we link the ad groups in azure ?

Hi there, I have a distributed FME Server installation - Web/Core, Engine, DB behind a Firewall/reverse proxy. We configured the JobHistoryStatisticsGathering workspace on a schedule and it is running successfully. However in the FME Server documentation here https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/WebUI/Dashboards.htm there are several dashboards listed that I am not seeing. I see: Daily Total Jobs Failures By Workspace Daily Total Running Time Daily Average Queued Time Average Translation Time I don't see: Peak Usage Time by Workspace Peak Usage Time by Engine Peak Usage Time by Server Do these need to be deployed differently? Thanks, Marc

When I am running a job on FME Server I get an error message saying: "There was an error submitting the job. Authentication Failed: Account is disabled"My account isn't disabled as I'm signed in as that user. I've also tested other users and I get the same error message. The workspace runs fine as a schedule, just not when I use the Run Workspace page, or the FME Server Job Submitter.

Hi, I have create a stream - it was running for a few days - I have now removed the stream - but it still runs on the server. So how do you remove it completely If I stop the server and restart - it comes up on any engine, and continues to run.

Hi everyone, I've seen the https configuration is completely changed in FME Server 2022 compared to the one in FME Server 2021, due to the introduction of Nginx as a reverse proxy. The documentation, for Linux, says that private key and certificate files must be provided in .key and .crt format. Now, I have private key and certificate files in .pem format and I'm asking if they can be used just as they are, because I have an Nginx installation (in another host with a completely different purpose than FME Server) that works directly with .pem files. Thanks!

I have a workbench that runs fine from the desktop but fails with lots of 'BADNEWS' messages (over 3500) before it crashes with the following statusMessage FME Engine encountered an issue and will need to be restarted.

Does anyone know why this might be occurring?

I have a workbench that checks expiration dates in a table and notifies the subscriber if something is expiring in the next week. I writes to an Excel file whether there are results or not and attaches the Excel file and emails the subscriber. This is running in FME Server and works fine like it is. My client would like to only receive an email if something is expiring, and then would like the information in the email body, not as an attachment. How would I do this.
