Add option to turn logging of python exception stack trace on and off
Use the IAM Role when authenticating in an Automation action, writing to an S3 bucket. When building the automation, it is required to specify a AWS Access Key ID and a AWS Secret Access Key.This should work in the same way that IAM Roles are supported in the S3Connector. That requires that FME is running on an EC2 instance with an IAM role configured on it.
I have some workspaces running on FME Server, where users sometimes upload (zip) files that are say > 10 Mb.I notice that in some cases users clicked on the run button before the file upload was complete, causing the workspace to fail. It would be nice if FME Server checks whether there are still file uploads ongoing for one of the workspace parameters, and doesn't allow the submission of jobs when this is the case; accompanied with an appropriate promp of course (e.g. 'file upload for a workspace parameter is still in progress, please wait for this to complete before submitting the job').
Similar to SharePoint, request to write files to Documentum with FME. https://documentum.opentext.com/documentum-platform/
Can you consider replacing Flexlm with a newer tool? For instance keygen which got launched recently. Being API-based this will fit Safe Software nicely: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/keygen
Currently, as an FME Server Administrator if I want to receive notifications about a System Event I can enable email configuration but for this to be enabled I must also provide a system email. As an alternative I would like the option to be able to enable broadcast messages to be created from System Events AND be able to restrict what user/roles can see these messages. This would be particularly helpful for licensing related events that are critical to the smooth running of FME Server.---[FEEDBACK WANTED] FME Server Administrators - if these messages had restricted visibility would it be helpful to have messages related to licensing ('License about to Expire' and 'Low Credits') enabled by default?
Please add a {job.logUrl} key to the standard Output Keys from a workspace Action in Automations.This idea stems from my question on the Community Forum:https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000089GudfSAC/how-to-include-the-log-file-url-in-an-automation-emailI'd like to be able to include a URL link to the log file in emails sent after a workspace completes in an Automation. This used to be possible in the old Notification/Subscription architecture but is not available in Automations.It is possible to add the log file as an email attachment in Automations but this is not always desirable or even possible - some of our log files can grow too large to be accepted as attachments by our email server and the entire email will fail to be sent.
Have you ever had a job complete successfully on FME Server but didn't realize there are warnings in the log? Warnings can range from must read to simple FYI's which the log displayed in FME Server's UI shows in blue text. Great! What would be even better is if the job completion page let me know if the job had any warnings or within the job history table there was a warning section. This would bring more awareness to the user that the job may have something to double check without explicitly looking through the log.What does everyone think of this idea? Let me know in the comments.
When dropping transformers into exiting workflows, automatically have FME move the rest along. Similar to the way Blender nodes work, like this https://twitter.com/i/status/1105453217138294784
The recently released GeometryPicker is really helpful as an enhancement to our FME Server Apps. Yet, the amount of applications (in which using the GeometryPicker would be beneficial) would greatly increase if the user is able draw multiple features (of the same geometry type, for now :)).
With FME Server build 20787 it is only possible to retrieve automations containing a schedule only with the fmesuperuser role. It would be helpful and more logical if you can retrieve the Automations that your user has access to.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: FME Server Projects: Option to maintain 'shared with' users between DEV>TEST>PROD systems In the Dev environment FME Server Projects are shared with users. When the Projects are exported from Dev and imported into another environment, like Test or Prod, it is necessary to share the projects again. It would be nice to have the option to maintain the original list of shared users or, at the very least, during the import of the Projects provide an option to share with new users in the new environment.
Exposing versioning options through the FME Server REST API would allow further control, customization, and especially automation to the versioning workflow.
we have loads of database connections, can we please sort by the header fields.
I like caching but usually I'm only concerned with a few 'breakpoints' to inspect values or run from/to, can we make caching controllable per transformer? @rahulsharma
It would be really helpful if we could rename schedules in FME Server. The way it is now, you can change the description, schedule type, etc. Why not the name too?
Currently it doesn't appear to be possible in the FME Server security settings to give a user the ability to access a specific repository on FME Server AND also be able to see all the other jobs that have been run by other users in that repository. To do this you have to elevate their security settings to be able to Manage Jobs and then they can see all jobs in all repositories, which is not desired.This would be a nice to have capability requested by a client.
I've seen several questions asking about the gbXML format. If you are interested in seeing FME support this format, please vote for this idea.
It would be great to have something similar to the Auto Connect button in the Feature Type Connections Window but in the main canvas. Just selecting some Reader and Writer feature types > right click > Auto Connect and done.
It would be very convenient to have navigation tools for the log at the top as well.
When the workspace stops at a breakpoint (previously called inspection points), I would like the possibility of changing the value of any of the feature attributes, before resuming the translation. I would also like to be able to create new and delete feature attributes.
It would be great to have a Coordinate System Gallery popup when selecting a value for a Coordinate System Name Parameter on FME Server/Cloud, similar to what can be done in Workbench. You can find more in-depth discussion about it in this post.
When you have a bookmark inside another bookmark, the Bookmark Navigator doesn't list the bookmarks inside the outer bookmark (see the attached image). I suggest that the Bookmark Navigator also would list the bookmarks inside other bookmarks. This is useful when dealing with large workspaces with many nested bookmarks.
Add an option to allow users to share items (Automations, Schedules, Repositories and Projects) which have been shared with them (i.e. they do not own the item). I expected this functionality to be granted with the "Full Access" option and was surprised that it wasn't.
Often in enterprise environments you'll have functional mail boxes.These mail boxes are accessed with different user names, so these are not the INBOX folder for the account they are accessed by.Another use case:You are already doing some filtering on IMAP server side, maybe moving mails under certain conditions from INBOX to another IMAP folder.Please add a setting for "Folder to monitor" to the IMAP trigger.
