Hey everyone,

 

I’m currently trying to get a workspace on FME Flow that makes use of the AutodeskDocsConnector. This single transformer would make my worksapace a lot smaller and easier to manage. Problem is that it just won’t work FME Flow! On Form it works without a hitch. On Flow accessing the same project and folder on Autodesk Construction Cloud also works when using the HTTPCaller. It’s only the AutodeskDocsConnector on Flow combo that seems to be failing me.

 

This is the error message I get on Flow: 

 

Anyone have experience with this or know how to help me out on this one?

Have you authorized the web connection after it has been published to fme server?

See Web Connections.

Using Web Connections

To use a web connection, it must be authorized with the web service it references. Workspaces that are uploaded from FME Form can run with the authorization credentials provided with the upload, as long as the access token from the web service is still valid. If the access token becomes invalid or cannot be refreshed with the web service, you must authorize the web connection directly with FME Flow. Alternatively, republish the workspace from FME Form.

To authorize a web connection with FME Flow

  1. If not already completed, configure the web service definition with FME Flow. For more information, see Managing Web Services, below.
  2. Authorize the connection:
    1. Click on the connection to open it.
    2. On the Edit page, click Authorize.

    Hej bkgg,

    Do you use the same account to connect to the Autodesk construction cloud as you use in form?

    The account used on server also needs to have the permission to enter that folder/project.

    see here :)

    To me, it seems that your ACC web connection is working just fine, as you are getting an actual response from the ACC API. I don’t think this is an FME Flow issue.

    Based on the error message, it looks like you’re requesting an item that either doesn’t exist in that particular ACC project, or that your web connection user isn’t allowed to see that particular item.

    There’s a whole wealth of settings there! I’ll have a look.

    Sorry for the late response but this was the best answer! The article showed me that when I update connection settings, I must also upload them again for it to take effect.
