Changed some old workbenchs from Py 2.7 to Py 3x. Republished and getting this warning: 2022-6-22 13:02:23 | Python: There is a known Windows bug that may cause instability when using Python in the current locale. Please update to Windows 10 version 2004 and greater, or to Windows Server 2022

I am working to develop metrics for my workbench that run on FME Server. I use batch script to do some metrics with FME Server API. I am wondering if is it possible to monitor topic as we can do on FME Server (Topic Monitoring) with the FME Server API. I would like to test if my workbench send topics successfully.

Hello, I successfully imported AD in FME server and I cannot log into FME Server afterwards with these users. Error from Log:(Directory Server) Exception: "LDAPException(resultCode=82 (local error), errorMessage='An error occurred while attempting to initialize the JAAS login context for GSSAPI authentication: LoginException(null (68)), ldapSDKVersion=4.0.14, revision=c0fb784eebf9d3....  Any ideas? Thank you Nicu    

I've written an FME Server app that uses the ZipExtrator transformer. I've set the Source Zip File as a user parameter so when it is run, the user is prompted to select the file they want to upload. Once the user has selected their file and kicked off the file upload, I've noticed that when the file upload progress bar has reached 100%, the upload process hasn't actually finshed.   If I inspect the network traffic in the browser dev tools, the HTTP request for the file upload process does not complete until several seconds after the file upload progress bar shows 100%. If the user clicks OK before the HTTP request has finished, then the job fails. If the user waits until the HTTP request has finished then click OK, the job runs successfully. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I've upvoted this idea which is similar to this, but this seems to me like a bug and not an enhancement. I'm running FME Desktop 2021.2 and FME Server 2021.2.

I want to be able to manage user acounts, particularly those that have not been used in a significant period of time. Is there a way to do this automatically with FME Server?

On FME Server there is a job running in some kind of loop. I am not able to cancel the job; even when I cancel the jobs it keeps running. I have tried many things:- disabling the automation- removing the workspace We restarted the Server, but the job just started immediately.  I find this information in the System Events:Event Description: Triggered whenever an error message is logged to fmeserver.log.Event Title: Error Message LoggedMessage: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "fme_job_history_pkey" Detail: Key (job_id)=(37020) already exists. Does someone has an idea how I can fix the issue?

Hi, We are running FME Server 2019.2.3.2 - Build 19825 - win64 (yeah, I know - upgrade coming soon). We successfully set up IMAP on an account and the Publication/Topic in FME Server to receive emails. I followed the tutorials and created my own workspace. Everything works as it should, however, in the Jobs completed page on FME Server I see this (ReceiveEmailTester.fmw is mine): The ReceiveSMTPEmail.fmw doesn't exist in FME Server, but I notice that a fmwt version exists in the download package from:https://community.safe.com/s/article/receiving-email-part-2-processing-email-with-a-wor In the tutorial I notice a screenshot that shows their workspace and this SMTP workspace - both having run successfully. I cannot find any reference to this extra workspace or explanation for why it is there or why FME Server tries to run it. Suffice to say there is no log file generated. Particularly odd as it is called SMTP even though I have only set up IMAP for receiving. Whilst everything works

 I had a share I thought I was removing at a lower level and it emptied the folder. I doubt it but wanted to ask. The tricky thing is, you can 'remove' a resource and it says do you want to delete this item. At the highest level, this removes the resource only. If you go into a folder inside the resource, it will present exactly the same dialog and ask if you want to delete this item. Of course, the inside one's delete delete the items whereas at the highest level under resource will delete the reference to the network space only. A nasty trap for all players :) 

Hi list.I'm trying out the new version 2022.0 of FME Server, and is looking at handling engine assignments.I imported a backup from our normal production server (2020.2), and it created all my queues, and matched these with the engines on the old server (though I had to redo this part due to the wrong naming).But the coupling of jobs and engines is rather different in 2022 from 2020.One thing that puzzles me, is that the restore created some "properties" for each engine, but I cannot find these anywhere in the interface. E.g. properties "22434", "WIN64" and "FME-SERVER003_Engine1" (see picture below).What are the purpose of these properties, and how can you use them ?And how can you delete them, if you don't want them ?Cheers

Hi, I'm currently working on a workbench that will be invoked with the fmedatastreaming web service in FME Server. The web service is called with URL parameters, like so:https://my-fme-server/fmedatastreaming/Test_Public/VindfangDEV.fmw?session=5218605431&contact_name=Innmåler&contact_org=Virksomhet&contact_phone=12345678&metadata_soksys=123&files=I+-+Trekkerør+Utført.gmi&debug=true&contact_mobile=12345678If I inspect the parameter values fetched from ParameterFetcher with a Logger transformer inside my workbench, I get encoding errors:  However, in both Request Data and earlier in the log file, these values are not only properly URL encoded in the request URL, but also correctly encoded and displayed: And: The encoding problem appears to only occour in the FME engine executing the workbench, but not in the web service nor the admin web interface. Manually encoding the problematic characters prior to calling the fmedatastreaming web service (...&contact_

Hello everyone, I have a licensing question and I find the online documentation not so clear on that topic.  I need to use an ESRI SDE writer on FME server. It is not clear to me what I need to install on my FME Server to make it work. What Kind of license do I need (ArcGIS pro standard, advanced, ArcGIS server, ...). Do I need to have the heavy client installed on the machine or an ESRI license server is enough ? And where do I need to install it (on the core machine, on each engine,…) ? The FME Server is a 2020.0.0.1 Build 20202 - win64.  Thanks for your support.

Hi.I've just finished a new install of FME Server 2022.0.0.2 on Windows Server 2019, and when I browse the management webinterface, I get the ugly Java exceptions below. Either one shows up when I refresh.What is causing this ? Looks like a Tomcat issue, but how to fix that ?I've made some small modifications post-install (not Tomcat), but all 4 services are up and running.Cheers

When I run the workspace locally it works fine.When I make a server app with an other workspace I have no error.So I think there is something wrong in the workspace. - Where can I find 'logs for further details'?- what went wrong

  Hello , we are receiving the following error when deploying a workspace with SQSConnector in FME server.On deploy the needed sqs pkg is uploaded and seen on resources/engine folder. Does this extra module missing needs to be added in FME server some other way ?  PythonFactory failed to load python symbol `fmepy_amazon_sqs.sqs_api.SQSConnector'  Thank you ,Jorge Vidinha  

I have made a workspace that constructs and shows a webpage to the caller (it is also a webhook). this webpage calls a second workspace, that tries to add the data entered into an excel (and now also a csv). the problem : this does not result in a line added to the output files, although the job log reports success and 2 items written. Calling the second workspace normally or as a webapp does do what is expected. this must be something silly I'm overlooking, but I'm at a loss what. any tips wold be much appreciated...

HelloI frequently receive this error message when exporting Revit geometries as gltf, though the same transformer was able to write to the same folder: "Unable to write to the file 'Z:\\fmeserverdata\\resources\\data\\destination\\Extraction\\rme_advanced_sample_project\\2009-01-Technical School\\2022-05-17\\GEOMETRIES\\GLTF\\Mechanical Equipment\\M_WSHP - Horizontal - High Efficiency - 7-18 kW - Left Return - Right Discharge\\ac8b9fc6-24ff-4c3b-a4c6-035f009e396e-0005e3ef.gltf'" Any advise?

We are using a Fault Tolerant configuration with 2 servers. We had to change the FME service account because the previous one could not register the ArcGIS Pro License. After changing the account, the new service account can no longer access the FME Web Interface. It is not the password, I can still log in the server using the account just not the web interface; error received is "(Directory Server) Failed to authenticate user "CN=fmeserviceaccountname,OU=SV,DC=ADS,DC=COT." The new service account was added to the FME service using the directory server. The account has permissions to login in as a service and has permission for the shared resource, both server drives and is used for the FME services on both servers. I thought I saw something about deleting the logs if the service account is changed, but I can not find the documentation now.  I found an entry when I bekive the service account was changed to the new service account. Afterwards, I cound no longer log in the

I have a demo version of FME server installed, and have configured our email server in the System Email section. I have confirmed this is working by using the option to reset my user password, in which case FME Server sends me an email with a link to reset it, so looks like it is working ok. However whenever I run a workspace and enter my email address to receive the results, I never receive an email, regardless of whether the job fails or succeeds.Under System Events you can enable send email notifications on certain events, but in this case you have to specify the email to send to, which would be an admin email. When running a workspace, users will want to specify their own email, which they can do, but does not seems to work.Has anyone come across this before?

The FME Server web interface is loading but there are no fields available to enter the username and password. My internet connection is working perfectly and I am viewing all the tutorials using the same connection. I have tried all the available solutions in the community discussion, My issue is completely different.

Hi,I am using FMEServerJobSubmitter in a workspace to submit jobs in sequence for another workspace in repository.Both workspaces were successfully published on FME Server.When I run the one containing FMEServerJobSubmitter, I get an error saying that "user is not authorized to perform this action". I mention here that I am logged with admin also and have full rights in FME Server, but I still get this error.  Any ideas? Cheers,Nicu

Hi, I have a few workspaces published up to FME Server that throw an occasional 'BADNEWS' error, but the job still finishes successfully. I have gone through and ensure that debug logging is turned off on each job, and have even republished them to be certain that the setting is not enabled. Can FME jobs still throw a BADNEWS error that is independent of debugging? I am thinking there may be an inherent BADNEWS error that is just part of running an FME workspace. I have gone through and checked all areas suggested by Safe where debug logging may be enabled, and it is disabled in every possible place. Just want to make sure I'm not chasing down something that is a normal part of running a workspace.

Hi, I have a workspace with a generic reader that reads multiple shapefiles. Everything works fine as long as I run the workspace with FME Desktop, but when I run the workspace with FME Server (Debian Linux) I get an error message like this:2022-1-5 12:43:30 | Shapefile Reader: The .dbf for '/data/fmeshare/resources/system/temp/upload/Tests/crs_fmt_converter.fmw/<username>/060101_BOSCO.shp' could not be found. Reading will continue, but features will not have any attributesI have investigated a bit further and I have discovered that if I upload a single file, everything works fine on FME Server too. Could it be a bug of the reader used by FME Server? I'm using FME Server 2021.2.1 (Build 21797 - linux-x64 ) Thanks!

Hello everyone!I recently saw two very interesting webinars regarding Data Streaming.We want to prepare for our customers proof of concept on the subject.I am looking for a free or low paid data source from which I can extract data and show to our customers.Is there such a data source that can be selected by a particular country, and type of data? (IoT, GPS, etc.).Thank you!@stewartatsafe​
