Integration

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.

Anyone else have this issue when updating a File GDB? I am updating (not writing any new features) 4 string fields in a line feature class (in a feature dataset). I cant even find a description of this error anywhere.

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.

When I try to run a pythoncaller within FME, every time I hit run, it generates an error, where it inserts a single quote (') at the first line of code. the quote does not exist. please help,screenshot included below of the error:and here is the script: (clearly no single quote existing in it)import fmeimport fmeimport fmeobjectsimport arcpyimport osimport sys# Template Function interface:# When using this function, make sure its name is set as the value of# the 'Class or Function to Process Features' transformer parameterdef processFeature(feature):    logger = fmeobjects.FMELogFile()    logger.logMessageString("It's lo-og, lo-og.  It's big, it's heavy, it's wood!")

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

Hi there,Is there an FME tool that can output all the file path locations for layers that are saved in an ArcMap MXD file? If so, what is the tool called?Thanks!

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.

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

If this is an answered question, please excuse me and point me in the right direction.I'm working on a web-based system that leverages FME server to run serveral tasks and provides the result to the user.By programatically building parameters and calling the FME Server data download endpoint at$"{repository.Url}/fmedatadownload/{repository.RepositoryName}/{analysis.WorkspaceId}";and setting the parameter opt_servicemode to sync I get a response on the form:{     "serviceResponse":{        "jobID":10261,      "statusInfo":{           "mode":"sync",         "status":"success"      },      "fmeTransformationResult":{           "fmeEngineResponse":{              "outputLocation":"C:\\\\ProgramData\\\\Safe Software\\\\FME Server\\\\resources\\\\system\\\\temp\\\\engineresults\\\\FME_176D3A2A_1504696983768_3368.zip",            "resultRootDir":"/fmedatadownload/results",            "statusNumber":"0",            "logFileName":"job_10261.log",            "downloadUrl":"http://server/fmedatado

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

Hi, I am trying to pull the data form an API that first need to get the JESSIONID by using the login server (post request like this https://url/api/login?email=MYUSERNAME&password;=MYPASSWORD). Then the JESSIONID cookie value is session ID that need to be included in header as a value of COOKIE in further request to obtain the data (for example https://url/api/v1?objectType=assets&action;=load&accountFilter;=MYACCOUNTID).Any idea to achieve this will be highly appreciated.Himal

Hi,we use role-based security, and I need to set permissions on various categories and resources for the role. For some categories/resources, I want to give a role only a subset of permissions.If I try to set a specific permission on a resource, say category=SharedResources, resource=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA, permission=SHAREDRESOURCE_READ,to a role 'DUMMY' that I have previously created, I get an error saying there is no such role in the resource.If instead I assign a role to the resource, the resource gets all permissions immediately.If I do not want this role to be able to delete, I must now remove this permission.Is there a more direct way to achieve what I want?Thanks,Michael Neidhardt

Hello all,I'm very new to FME technology and don't know much about desktop either server. We have data interoperability extension for ArcMap and ArcGIS Server.Just to figure out how it works I prepared a tool converts KML to SHP. The tool works fine on desktop but when I publish it as geoprocess on the server it doesn't return any output. However, I can find the output shapefile in the scratch folder. Should I configure something while creating the ETL tool or on the server?

I'd like to create a HTML/javascript site to let users upload a zip-archive and start a job processing this archive on FME Server. The workflow is very similar to the example I found here: https://playground.fmeserver.com/javascript/server-uploads/upload-file-in-session/  Using the code from this example I can upload archives (see screenshot). I also checked the resources on FME Server and to me everything appears to be correct - the archive is uploaded to a temporary folder as I expected it to be. However, it isn't "recognized" as a proper input file and when hitting "Run workspace with data" I get an error message saying "No Files Uploaded. Please upload a file."I already found the suggestion to change the parameter value for "opt_extractarchive" from false to true, but this didn't help anything in my case.  Any help is appreciated :-)

I would love to find a way to be able to read in an Map Service from an ESRI REST API- I see there is a way to read in a feature service but not a map service yet (unless I am missing something). Thanks!

In SOAPui, I have this SOAPAction in the xml editor: SOAPAction: "http://schema.bpost.be/services/common/address/ExternalMailingAddressProofingCS/v001/validateAddress".I don't understand where do I have to create this action in the HTTPCaller of FME?

hello is it possible to change the service name in Direct URL generated by fme server to run the workspace this is required by the client in order to follow their internal standard from :https://" domainename"/fmedatastreaming/parks/parks.fmw?TO: https://" domainename"/apiservicestream/parks/parks.fmw?Thanks

Why does the Raster API FMEBand getNodataValue() return an FMETile?

Hi,I have tried to use the blog posthttps://knowledge.safe.com/articles/24147/tutorial-creating-web-services-using-fme-server.htmlbut come across some differences in the instructions to what I see in FME Cloud and AWS.Namely:Give the role the following permissions: Applications > FME Server Web User InterfaceThis doesnt show as an option in FME cloud.and:We need to get the URL to run the workspace via the Data Streaming service:Go to Run.Select the parksapi repository, and then select the workspace you published. The only option should be for Data Streaming.Click the wrench icon to get the developer information.Save the URL given. For example, https://my-fme-server-example.fmecloud.com/fmedatastreaming/parksapi/getParksGeoJSON.fmw.I don't know which URL to use, the one I do use I tried to put into the AWS API Gateway and it wouldn't accept my http address - it said that it wasn't valid. If there are more recent guides that anyone could point me to that would be super.

We are rebuilding our entire GIS analysis platform and are planning to use the esri managed data store for user generated content that is not in official support.I understand it is a Postgres black box that is managed via esri applications and a few .bat files on the server.I've used the Portal reader in FME to access some of the features but found it slow.Is anyone using FME to connect directly to the Postgres database to access the features in the managed data store?

It is possible to create a Database Connection on fme server via REST? Or how to set (not via fme desktop or via FME web UI)?

Hi,I developing one application using FME .net DLLI need to write one value in one attribute in File GDB. I have created the GDB template file with that attribute. But it fails to update the value in File GDB and please find the parameter I have set for the writer.StringCollection strColWriter = new StringCollection(); strColWriter.Add("DATASET"); strColWriter.Add(<template path>); strColWriter.Add("IDs"); strColWriter.Add(<feature class name>); Please suggest me the solution ASAP. 

Hello,Having a lot of issues getting HTTPCaller to acquire SOAP call certificates for authentication - spent many hours attempting workarounds.I do not wish to go down the pythoncaller route with the python library issues potentially breaking the SOAP call.However, why are there SSL configurations for FME's own Webservices which are not available to use in the HTTPCaller transformer???https://docs.safe.com/fme/2016.0/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/configuring_for_https.htm

Folks, I'm trying to make a Polygon Catalogue of all the jpg images we have in a directory/ subdirectory. So far I havent been able to get FME to to detect the Coordinates embedded in the XML and jgw files. Is this possible? many thanks.
