Hello the FME support team,We have an FME server and I would like to call a job and pass some parameters to that and get a response with some other parameters. Something common in Rest API/WSDL.I have tried different ways, data streaming and data downloader. One of them send me a file as a response which I need to download and read and the other send me the job ID which none of them is not the response that I expect. I expect a response that I can get without downloading a file. The same way that we send some parameter to the API (e.g published parameter in the body tag from here https://playground.fmeserver.com/csharp-request/ as I am using .Net )Many thanksMohsen

Deleting files from FTP not working with FTPCaller

API job completed notification

Hello the support team.I am planning to call a FME workbench on our FME server and get the response back. The request will be passed to the FME server from a web application which uses .Net. In the meanwhile, it is not clear how the processing time is handled at the client side. If the client pass a job to the FME server and getting the response takes 10 min, how this waiting time should be handled? What kind of parameters (response) from FME server tell the developer about the result? Is there any callback from the server or any other acknowledgment/timing/triggering mechanism?Many thanksMohsen

Background map request to the WMS server returns incomplete set of layers

Hello,I am trying to add a background map in FME Data Inspector. I am using a WMS server which returns an XML having a following structure:<WMT_MS_Capabilities version="1.1.1" updateSequence="0"><Service></Service><Capability><Request></Request><Exception></Exception><Layer></Layer><Layer></Layer></Capability></WMT_MS_Capabilities>We have two <Layer> sections. It is not visible here, but they contain <SRS> tags and a set of nested <Layer> tags, which are used to populate the Layer List in WMS Parameters. It seems however, that the Layer List is missing nested layers from the second <Layer> section, only the ones from the first section are loaded. Could you please make sure that complete set of layers is loaded from a WMS server?Best regards

FTP Caller Error in the SSH Layer

I have been trying to get the FTPCaller transformer to upload data to a sftp site. I'm afraid everything ends up in the <Rejected> port and I get the following error "HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'Error in the SSH layer'". Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this? I'm able to upload data without issue using FileZilla and it does appear that I'm connecting to the sftp server correctly. Any support would be much appreciated!

Deleting files from FTP - no errors in WorkSpace but files not deleted

I'm using the FTPCaller to try and delete files on an FTP server. The translation log says "FTP: Deleted file 'ftp://<URL REDACTED>', total time: '0.281 seconds'" but when I refresh the directory in my FTP client, the file is still there.The FTP client shows dfrw permissions for the file and I can delete it in the FTP client.I've tried using upper and lower case versions of the file name with the same result.Any ideas?

Acess subfolders in FTP by FME

FME Fails to check overlapped hatches when transform them from AutoCad to ArcMap.

"FME Fails to check overlapped hatches when transform them from AutoCad to ArcMap."FME transform overlapped hatches within the same layer from Autocad to ArcMap with no notification of double hatches. And this leads to defect in data when uploading them to our system.What do you think about this?Is there anyway to check double hatches in Autocad when Transforming?Thanks!Alaa

Speeding Up Workspace reading and writing the Geodatabase_SDE

I am reading and writing to an ESRI SDE database table. my workspace reads one feature class then compares it to another SQL table with possible merges from three different attributes that are tested and merged one at a time. It seems to be running fine but is just taking a long time. Not sure how or iff it can be sped up.

Using SOAP to run workbench

Has anyone had success with triggering a workbench on server using SOAP? We are replicating an Oracle database using Informatica Power Exchange. For any spatial table, Power Exchange is going to send parameters to FME server to do the replication. I know you can do this with REST, but from the Informatica side it seems easier to do with SOAP, so I was curious if anyone had any luck.

Share a FME Server repository via REST API (v3)

I’m using FME Server 2017.1.1.1 and REST API to create a repository and publish workspace into it. This is fairly straightforward. Once done, I’d like to share that repository with other users already existing on the server. Is there a way to do it via REST API? I wasn’t able to find it in API documentation.

FME Server API - Multiple Dataset Download URL?

Good morning!I have a workspace that creates a KML and a zip with SHAPE Files. I'm going to upload it to FME Server so the user can download those file easily.Before doing anything I have checked the API documentation. The respone from a job looks like this:result {id (integer): Unique identifier for this job,numFeaturesOutput (integer, optional),priority (integer, optional),requesterHost (string, optional),requesterResultPort (integer, optional),resultDatasetDownloadUrl (string, optional),status (string, optional) = ['SUBMITTED', 'QUEUED', 'ABORTED', 'SUCCESS', 'FME_FAILURE', 'JOB_FAILURE' or 'PULLED']: Job success, failure, or other status,statusMessage (string, optional),timeFinished (string, optional),timeRequested (string, optional),timeStarted (string, optional)}The "resultDatasetDownloadUrl" is not an array, so that makes me think the Server will create just one URL. How does FME Server choose between my KML or ZIP file with SHAPES?Is there a way to force FME Server to create tw

FME Server summary when running workspace

When running a workspace on FME Server, you get a summary as to whether the workspace completed successfully and how many features were written. However not all workspaces end with a writer, so this information is not always valuable/relevant. You then have to browse through the log details to inspect whether you got the desired results.A perfect scenario for when this happens is when you have workspaces that call REST APIs. I would like a way to return the response or error from a workspace. Regardless of the response, FME Server reports that the workspace completed successfully, but that doesn't mean I got the desired result. For example all is good if I get a 200 back, but if I get a 400/403/404 etc., then I would want to see that clearly without having to go through the logs. Is there a way to customize this summary? It would be great if one could easily define the attributes etc. in the workspace that you want to be visible in the summary screen. Thanks.

REST API header token authorization fails on FME Server 2017

On FME Server 2017 Rest API V3, the header token based authentication always fails. I am setting the header based on this documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.htmlFor example:curl -X GET -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \-H "Authorization: fmetoken token=abc123456789" \'http://myfmeserver/fmedatastreaming/metering/meterping.fmw?meterid=123456' receives the following error: The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource.But, using the token in a query param works:curl -X GET -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \'http://myfmeserver/fmedatastreaming/metering/meterping.fmw?meterid=123456&token;=abc123456789' Also basic auth with an Authorization header works:curl -X GET -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \-H "Authorization: Basic mybase64digest=" \'http://myfmeserver/fmedatastreaming/metering/me

Published Parameter in SQL Statement to Execute Before Translation of ESRI GDB Reader

I have an issue with running a SQL Statements which should be executed Before Translation of ESRI GDB Reader. SQL statement looks like like following:FME_SQL_DELIMITER ; DELETE FROM UTARC.FCL_FP_GEOD_ALTI_PT_EVW WHERE AUTOMODE = 1 AND OFFSET = $(OFFSET);...where OFFSET is a published parameter - integer with default value of 50.Error message returned is ORA-00911 - Invalid Character.I tried also to set '$(OFFSET)' with apostrophes as string but no difference.If i execute FME_SQL_DELIMITER ; DELETE FROM UTARC.FCL_FP_GEOD_ALTI_PT_EVW WHERE AUTOMODE = 1 AND OFFSET = 50;workbench is successfully finished.I imagine I am missing some point how I should reference published parameters in SQL script. Does somebody have idea what can be the problem?Thanks in advance for any suggestion.Dušan
