What can I use to store current and past readings from an http link?

I have a link which gives me rain gauge sensor information. Everytime I refresh the link I get new readings, however I want to set up my workbench to keep the current readings in one table and it to store previous readings in a history table. This is what I have set up, however I don't know what to use to log previous readings. The current and history keep updating with the same current values.

May I use FME Objects in Startup / Shutdown Python Script?

Hi,    "Shutdown python scripts can make use of FME Objects by using import fmeobjects" -- Startup and Shutdown Python and Tcl Scripts   However, when I try to create an FME Object (e.g. fmeobjects.FMELicenseManager) in Startup or Shutdown Python Script, FME always shows this warning message in the Log window finally.    Warning: not all FMESessions that were created were destroyed before shutdown.  This may cause instability   The workspace works without errors, just this warning occurs. May I ignore this message? or Creating FME Objects is not recommended in Startup / Shutdown script?    Takashi

FME Server Upgrade - Resources not found

Recently upgraded from FME Server 2017 to 2018. Used a back up from 2017 to restore in the 2018 install and everything seems to work fine except the Resources. They exist but there is nothing there when you navigate to them. I tried to add a new Resource and it gave the below error. Error. The settings for this Resource Connection are invalid. Do you still want to save? Path does not exist: [path] We know the path exists but not sure why FME Server cant see it. Any help would be appreciated.Environment:FME Server 2017/2018Windows Server 2012

Does http caller works synchronously or asynchronously?

I’m trying to access an API and extract data using python caller where I’m using url lib to get the response . Since it’ll in works synchronously the process takes time. Now I’m planning to use http caller and I need to know how it handles the requests? Is it synchronously or asynchronously?

FMEArc Two Points seems to be creating wrong arcs.

Hi guys,I've been trying to auto-generate cadastral parcels using the start and end coordinates and radius values, and the process is working, but the python caller seems to be using the wrong centre point to generate the arcs in some instances (as there are always two potential points in trig). I'm using the init(twoPoints, radius, counterClockwise) function, where the sign of the radius indicates direction. I'm attaching a workbench which contains the generation of a section of blocks and the corresponding section area, and the outer boundaries of the two should match, but don't. I believe this is a trigonometry issue, the math behind the caller isn't working for an arc that's greater than a semi-circle. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Build 2017.0Thank you in anticipation,Katrina

ArcGIS Online OAUTH Authorize Issue on FME Server 2017

Previously we had no issue publishing to FME Server (2016 and earlier) with connections set to access web services on our ArcGIS Online for Organizations account. Now we can't seem to get our "one" ArcGIS Online job to work on FME Server 2017. When it asks us to authorize the connection after upload (Which works just fine on Desktop we simply get an error telling us "Invalid client_id Error:400"Has anyone else encountered this issue yet? Do you know what the solution to it is?I'm attaching a copy of the error message and what bothers us is it shows the generic https://www.arcgis.com URL and not our organizational account.

Multiple ws with fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner()

Hello, im searching for the possibility of running multiple workspaces at the same time (not queued jobs) making use of the python fme objects fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner() . I was kind of hoping that i could pass a list of dictionarys as 'parameters' argument to runWithParameters(workspace, parameters) ... I was expecting the same behaviour as seen in workbench transformer WorkSpaceRunner, where you can set wait for job to complete = No and the amount of jobs to run (max 7, i suppose) run in parallel. Im i missing something wiht this object, or im really suppose to implement some python multiprocessing technic to acomplished the parallelism needed ? What your thoughts are ?Regards,Jorge

Powershell Script to Generate FME Token

I have a powershell script that uses Invoke-RestMethod to generate an FME token. It's using -UseDefaultCredentials to run the Web call because I don't want to hardcode the user/password information in the -Uri request. I get an exception from the FME web service saying that I haven't provided the user/password information, BUT it still works and retrieves the token using UseDefaultCredentials. Is there a way that those parameters can be made optional for the web request so that I don't get an error?Thank you,Susan

geodatabase API writer geometry

Hi all,During a translation process, I am writing some curved lines to a file geodatabase using the 'Esri File Geodatabase Open API' writer (the red lines in the screenshot). When inspecting the outcome, I noticed that the shape of the lines have changed. The lines were slightly moved and/or changed shape completely. When writing the same to (for example) a shapefile, I don't have this issue.Note that this is already occurring on a large scale: the red line in the screenshot is the distance of 0.0002 units. Is this a known issue? Or am I missing something else here?

FTPCaller VS SystemCaller for FTP Calls

Hello All, I am posting this question to try to gain an in-depth understanding of the functionality of FTPCaller vs SystemCaller.I designed a script that used SystemCaller to call on CoreFTP in order to upload and overwrite a file to a certain site and log the results in a text document. This is the SystemCaller command: ""C:\\Program Files\\CoreFTP\\Coreftp.exe" -O -u @Value(file_path) @Value(site_command) -log "@Value(routinglogdirectory)@Value(_rootname).log"The command worked successfully. It took 12 seconds to run. I switched to an FTPCaller to run the same function. The time was reduced to 1 second.Just for my understanding, I am wondering what is FTPCaller doing differently in the background? Would love to hear some insights from FME. Thanks, Fariya

FME API

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

The URL is the Full path and point to the specified files (remote file). See the transformer setting parameters screen shoot bellow.But after a run of the workbench, the translation log on FME show that these files has been deleted and everything seems good, as you can see bellow (URLs paths here are schematized based on my real data URLs configuration, Sorry, Confidentiality!!!!) , but the files are not physically deleted on my FTP server.The same user name works well when I manually delete the file using Filezilla and WinSCPI have tried various parameters setting, no solution fund yet.

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
