FME Server Monitoring Dashboards Missing?

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 JobsFailures By WorkspaceDaily Total Running TimeDaily Average Queued TimeAverage Translation TimeI don't see:Peak Usage Time by WorkspacePeak Usage Time by EnginePeak Usage Time by ServerDo these need to be deployed differently?Thanks,Marc

Authentication failed: Account is disabled when trying to run a job on FME Server

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.

FME Server 2022 on Debian Linux: configure https with .pem files

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!

Workbench failing

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. [0] string too long [1] auto __thiscall STFDynamicFactory::process::<lambda_afd8337cf6d9dd4ee4340623b50e5675>::operator ()(void) const(c:\\code\\fme\\foundation\\pluginbuilder\\pluginbuilder_cpp\\dynafact.cpp:460) [2] auto __thiscall STFDynamicFactory::process::<lambda_afd8337cf6d9dd4ee4340623b50e5675>::operator ()(void) const(c:\\code\\fme\\foundation\\pluginbuilder\\pluginbuilder_cpp\\dynafact.cpp:460) The workbench, attached, basically takes some input layers and creates a lot of reports. Does anyone know why this might be occurring?

Send results in email body

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.

Creating schedule with V3 api /fmerest/v3/schedules always creates a unhandled exception

When I use Python to try and post a schedule to FME Server using the v3 api, it always creates a Unhandled Exception on the server-side. I can view the exception in the Catalina log. I'm unsure why, but it thinks the payload isn't JSON even though it is. Has anyone been able to successfully post a schedule to the schedule endpoint using Python or other language and can post an example? I must be doing something wrong, but cannot tell. The JSON is:params = {"begin":"2022-08-08T01:00:00", "name":"test", "description":"test", "skipUntilJobComplete":True, "enabled": True, "interval":2, "recurrence":"interval", "repository":"TEST", "workspace":"test.fmw", "unit":"MINUTE", "category":"Utilities"} which is posted like this in Python:serviceresponse = requests.post(jobSubmitUrl,json=params,heade

Is there a way to have the output file be unzipped when running a data download workbench?

I have a server app set up on our implementation of FME Server 2021.2, and users visit the URL to grab the latest export of a database as a CSV. The resulting file is zipped up in a few folder layers which adds a few steps to the process for the end user. Is there a way to have the resulting file be just the CSV to save a few clicks and make life easier for my less tech savvy users?

Workspace generated unreadable characters

Hi,I am running a workspace on FME Server and I see that most of the columns have unreadable characters in it after running a workspace. I have not seen this before. Is this because of bad data coming in from the source data file or UTF encoding is an issue, i see duplicate features has been created as well. Any advice to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I need to get an email from a service (that can not be sent to fmeserver) and then download the xlsx that is in a url link in the email

I have a user that gets an email with an xlsx report in it. the report is not sent directly but is in a url that (i cannot post it here) has ?u=213123&id=3126582175e=12323 I have not determined how or if this url will change with each delivery. The url only changes with the report type. apparently they upload a new file to the same url each week.But this cannot be used with any of the fme server email functions (we had to disable all email to or from fme). The file that is in the link is a simple xlsx so that part i already have working. i am just trying to figure out how to make something work within the parameters of our requirements. So since the url doesn't change I just need a way to read this email and feed this url into the xlsx reader.I have the feed part i think. but when i try to set up something with email it always seems to be dependent upon the internal fme server email system. which we cannot use. the only other method i have found will only read an email attachm

Do I need a ArcGIS installation on the same server to be able to write to sde.

I should know the answer and I should be able to answer it by my self. But the costumer need an answer asap and I think its quicker to get help from this fantastic community with all this amazing brains and experiences.  I know that If you have a FME desktop Esri Edition installed and want to write to a SDE och gdb you also need an ArcGIS installation installed for the license. Is it the same requirements as with FME server and are there in that case any way to change a setup file and point to the installed ArcGIS so that you dont need to install the softwares on the same machine?

Health check failures after 24hrs when running FME Server in AWS using Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless for the FME Server Database

I'm running FME Server in AWS using Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless for the FME Server Database and I check the health of the server by calling the fmerest/v3/healthcheck?textResponse=true&ready=true REST API periodically. Everything runs ok for 24hrs but after that, the health checks start to fail and do not recover again. From the errors logged (below), I think it might be a connection pooling issue. I don't get the same issues on an Express install and there's a line on https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/best-practices-for-working-with-amazon-aurora-serverless/ that says "Aurora Serverless closes connections that are older than 24 hours. Make sure that your connection pool refreshes connections frequently.", so I think this might be the cause. I've copied some errors from the logs (can provide full logs if required), am I right in thinking this is caused by Aurora Serverless killing the connections or is this something else? Is there a setting anywhere that will force FME to ref

Two FeatureWriters writing to the same output File Geodatabase, second writer fails in fmedatadownload service

Hi,I'm having an issue using FeatureWriters on FME Server (22350). What I'm trying to do is create a File Geodatabase with a feature writer, then later in the same workspace remove selected features from feature classes in the File Geodatabase that has been created.This works in desktop and as a fmejobsubmitter serivce, but when using the fmedatadownload service the second feature writer throws an error that the featureclass/database does not exist. I assume this is related to how FME Server adjusts the paths for data being created for the data download ZIP file? Both FeatureWriters are linked to the same parameter for the output FGDB.I have tested using a FeatureReader with the same parameter for the FGDB, and it successfully reads from the created FGDB. Is there some parameter or configuration I can use to ensure that both FeatureWriters are using the same path for the FGDB?
