Integration

I am using ArcSDE Writer to write to an Esri Geodatabase table in my FME workbench. The workbench run on the FME server daily and I noticed that sometimes the workbench fails. When I check the log I get the error below: Error while updating feature in the table/feature class 'GAS.gValve'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147467259'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}  I also have another workbench that uses the same writer to write to another geodatabase table and randomly I get the same error. I would like to know what does this error means and if there is any changes I can make to resolve this issue. Is this an ESRI issue or an FME issue? We are using ArcGIS 10.2.1c and python 2.7 and FME Desktop/Server 2019.1 32 bit. @mark2atsafe

We have successfully linked the FME Server git repository to our remote repository in Azure. This is great, since our commit history will now persist between backup/restores when upgrading. However it seems the only way to trigger a push to the remote repository is to manually navigate to the 'Push to Remote' button in 'System Configuration'.  I can't see anything in Automations or in the FME Server API documentation which would allow us to automate this process. Has anyone found an inventive way to schedule the 'Push to Remote' process? It doesn't necessarily need to trigger with every commit, more like once per day.  Using FME Server 2019.1 hosted in FME Cloud.

how rename feature attribute with python 

Just downloaded 2019.2, and quickly run into a big issue - the HTTPCaller query parameter does not save. For example, if I set a pagesize parameter and its value to be 1000, click OK, reopen it, the value is empty. If I open a similar workbench previously saved in 2018.1, which has pagesize = 1000, change it to be 10000, click ok, reopen it, it is still 1000. I am on windows 10.

I would like to call mutually authenticated services using SSL. Can httpcaller be used? If so, could you please guide me, If not do we have any other alternative for FMEworkbench & FME server?

Is this a feature or a bug? 

@siennaatsafe (Sienna I was told it might be good to tag you since you were instrumental in making the video I reference below). The Issue - Topic not working on FME Server when submitting a survey via Esri's Survey123 for ArcGIS We use Esri's Survey123 for ArcGIS to collect field data. User's utilize the mobile application to collect the data and not the online version of Survey123. In the past we've used Microsoft Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow) and recently we've tried Integromat for sending out notifications ranging from a simple generated email letting stakeholders know when a survey was submitted all the way up to letting those same stakeholders know when certain values fall outside the maximum or minimum allowable range. Being that we are a big FME user (Both Desktop and Server) we were thrilled to see it can be used for notifications based on a webhook in Survey123. On Septem

What would be the best way to convert a contour shapefile to a landxml for use in Geopak? I am not very familiar with LandXMLs or Geopak. I tried creating a TIN from my contours using TINGenerator transformer and output the Triangles to LandXML. If there is a better/more correct way to accomplish this I could use some help. I also have the DEM used generate the contours in ESRI grid format.  I also found this template for creating a LandXML but am lost as to where I need to input my contour data. 

Has anyone written a batchfile for a user to start an instance of FME Cloud using the API from a windows desktop?I would like to allow users to start the server to access an app they need to use occasionally then the server shut down within the hour to save on running costs.

I downloaded the GitHub web service connector from the Hub and once I try the test to authenticate with my username and password I get a 404 screen from GitHub but I am able to see that it's connected to my account fine but can't save that connection information.

I added a file to FME Server resources and now I want to provide a link to it. How can I do that?

Hello everybody,please, I met one issue with running the job on FME Server - is there any way, how to submit a job to run without authorization? How could I configure call to run like that?Now I use this API call to submit a job to run - fmerest/v3/transformations/transact/. Thank You so much!Lubo

Hi All, Based on a folder name i want to move files from A to B in FMESo for example:- zip file is received via httpCaller and saved to a default location- within that downloaded zip file, i want to extract one folder & its contents (probably using systemCaller)- The internal folder will have 1 of 5 possible names(lets say finance, sales, IT, etc)- Its destination will depend on the the folder nameI dont think theres a transformer for this, to check if a file exists?So i'm guessing it would be a python script of sorts to check if each of the file names exist, set an attribute based off of that result, then filter. but im useless at python, its on my 'to learn' list. Any help is appreciated!

I need to use the FTPCaller in FME Desktop but I can only connect to the SFTP Server via a .pem key. However, as it is not an area I've really used before, I'm struggling to understand the authentication method. I'm fine connecting when authentication not required, it is just that I need to use a .pem key and I'm not sure how to reference this in the transformer. Any help would be grateful.

Is it possible to send a User parameter value through to a FME Server Job as part of the URL (End of an URL Parameter value)??

HI there,  Just wondering if anyone has any experience interacting with the GitHub API on FME.  I'm trying to use an http caller to post a new issue to a Private repository, but get a 404 response body.  Get requests are fine with the authorisation headers i'm using: Authorization: Bearer <my token>Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance,

I'm using a PythonCaller to get a list of files in an FTP site folder as per this question:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/35179/use-pythoncaller-to-get-list-of-files-in-directory.htmlThis is because at the time, the FTPCaller didn't have the ability to download a folder, and the names of the files I want to download are not known. Once the list of files has been retrieved, the names of those that are CSV files are passed to the FTPCaller to download.The FTP download functionality is in its own Workspace, called from a parent Workspace by a WorkspaceRunner. If there is a problem with the FTPCaller (Rejected port), an email is sent and a Terminator terminates the Workspace. The parent Workspace then picks this up via the Failed port of the WorkspaceRunner and abort subsequent processing steps that would have taken place

In FME / Esri compatibility chart it says ArcGIS 10.7.1 requires FME 2019.1 or higher I tried FME 2018.1.2 and had no problems.Can anyone detail what issues may arise with using FME 2018.1.2 for writing ArcGIS 10.7.1 FileGDB/SDE ? Thanks for any hints

I'm trying to download a zipfile containing a fgdb. I've used https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/68018/download-zip-file-from-password-protected-website.html as a resource for structuring my workspace, but regardless of multiple attempts with slight variations it fails to download the zipfile/creates a blank 3 KB zipfile that says is Invalid when attempting to open it. Attached is my workspace (credentials removed for security reasons) with URLs included. Any idea what may be causing the failure? @takashi @danilo_fme

I'm using the HTTPCaller to upload (POST) a file as well as some additional data. This is relatively simple when the file to be uploaded is sitting on the file system somewhere. Simply set the HTTPCaller Upload Data type to "Multipart / Form Data" and set the multi-part content for the file portion to point to the file on the file system.However, my file content (not the path to a file) is already in an attribute on the feature. Does anyone know if I can get the HTTPCaller to upload a file in this way?Nic

Hi Folks,  Can you please help me in pulling some data from Trimble connect by using http caller and API?I do have my API but I don’t know how to use it and how to setup my http caller to pull my images from there (what Request URL should I use to have this), any help will be appreciated. Cheers,

HiI am trying to connect to an open data API which contains geoJSON using the HTTPCaller. However I am getting the following error message: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OKII was able to get the geoJSON when I copied the API URL directly into the IE browser. Does anyone know what settings I need to set on the HTTPCaller to be able to access the geoJSON through FME?I am using FME2019.1 DesktopThanks,

I would like to use FME PythonCaller to call ArcPy Feature Vertices to Points. An advise towards this approach will be appreciated

Hi I have followed the instructions in https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/45314/working-with-soap-services.html to call a WCF service. The XML request is correct, as I can get a successful response back when copying/sending same request via soapui.However HTTPCaller gives me the following error message:The message with Action '' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).</faultstring></s:Fault></s:Body></s:Envelope>
