Hi All, Does anyone have any experience and examples for calling FME server from a QGIS processing script? I have published some (data download) workspaces in FME server into workspace apps for my end users within the company. They really like this, but they would prefer not to leave QGIS. I would like the script to place the zip file returned bij FME server in a folder and unpack it. Thank you.

Hi all, I am trying to modify a workbench and re-upload it to the server (2020.1 to 2020.1) and am getting back an error that: The following readers or writers are included in an enabled service, but are not present in the workspace: [SourceDataset_JSON] Request to xxx returned status code 422. This has only happened since we updated the server from 2020.0 to 2020.1. The workbench takes incoming JSON from a notification service using a topic and subscription and runs it through the workbench and dumps it into an Esri Portal FS. This error is odd because there is only one reader and one writer in the service. If anyone else has seen this problem please let me know. Thanks! -Adrian

Hi All, I have a FME workspace published with the Data streaming service of FME Server 2016. The workspace creates a HTML file for output. When I run the workspace my browser allows me to download the file (or run it). I want the HTML contents of the file to replace the FME Server page (or automatically open in a new tab). What do I need to change to open the HTML file without user interaction? Thanks for any help, Erik Jan

When you create a Gallery App you have the option to add URL's. By default these will open in a new tab when clicked. It would be nice to have an option to choose between a new tab or to open in the current tab. I now have a Gallery App with URL's to other Gallery Apps. In each Gallery App I put one URL to return to the main Gallery app. After navigation in this a little bit I'm stuck with multiple open tabs.

We have enabled Version Control to an external repository on FME Flow. Are there any best practices for managing Workbenches in development in FME Form? My current thought, which I haven't spent much time developing, is to recommend that once a Workbench is uploaded to Flow, the desktop version is archived and any future work on the Workbench must be done by Downloading from Flow and Republishing. Basically, to insist that all work must be done from Workbenches from Flow. The downside I can see from this is that there is no way to force developers to follow that. Any suggestions?

My FME Server dashboards are not working. When I try to run JobHistoryStatisticsGathering.fmw, it fails with: Terminator (TestFactory): Terminator: Termination Message: 'Translation Terminated: There was an error getting job history. Error Message: HTTP/1.1 404 - http://v01w-app-p0427/fmeserver/fmerest/v3/transformations/jobs/completed?limit=1000&offset=0 ' What file is it looking for?

I have published a workspace to FME Flow. When I run it in FME Flow, I get this error in the log file: Path Reader: Error opening the PATH Reader on folder '\\\\myservername\\T_DFshared\\FME Workflow\\All Reports to Folder5'. Could not find folder. ​ I checked and the server where the folder resides can communicate with the server that FME Flow is installed on. The folder does indeed exist and has the files used in the workspace in it. The workspace published from FME Form starts with a Directory and Pathnames Reader and runs with no errors in FME Form. ​ Could this error be caused by the spaces in the folder names in the UNC path shown above or could something else be causing this error?

Hi, This is just for esthetics: I geht houndreds of warnings from FME_Server runnung an Job with some SystemCallers that copy files with robocopy. Although everything works fine and the the files are copied, "Failed to Execute" does not look nice. SystemCaller_12: Failed to Execute `robocopy \\\\RZ2-ZDA-01\\Data$\\Aktuell\\INSPIRE \\\\RZ2-ZDA-01\\Data$\\Historisch\\INSPIRE CP_CadastralParcel.gpkg' If I use the commandline "cmd" from Win2019 on the FME-Server then I dont get any warning.

I am trying to convert an old script that loads 100+ tables in Postgres to a FME Server automation. One of the things I am doing is a INSERT INTO schema1.table SELECT * FROM schema2.table with a SQLExecutor where schema2 is a Oracle foreign table. This works fine for some smaller tables, but for a large table around 33gb I eventually receive a 'could not receive data from server: Connection timed out' error whether I run it on desktop or server. This worked fine when run from the script. I'm at a loss here, what could be causing the problem?

I have a workflow that allows the user to select their desired market as an AOI for a server app. See this example for what I'm referring to and how this is deployed. https://engage.safe.com/demos/map-based-data-distribution-fme-server-apps/ The workflow works just fine, but does FME server have the functionality to display features on the map when the user selects the AOI? This would help when defining the area somewhat and give the user more context to what they are selecting.

Not sure if it might benefit others but I’ve recently had to enable HSTS to harden the HTTP redirect from Port 80 to 443. Edited the web.xml file and located the HSTS Comments. (~Line 468) Added the below filters <!-- Enable HSTS --> <filter> <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.HttpHeaderSecurityFilter</filter-class> <init-param> <param-name>hstsEnabled</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>hstsMaxAgeSeconds</param-name> <param-value>31536000</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>hstsIncludeSubDomains</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>hstsPreload</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>antiClickJackingOption</param-name> <param-value>ALLOW-FROM</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>antiClickJackingUri</param-name> <param-value>https://OUR_PRIMARY_DOMAIN.HERE</param-va

Version: FME Flow 2024.0.1Build 24202 - win64 Issue: Click “Backup & Restore - Create Backup” or “System configuration - System Cleanup” or “System configuration - Network & Email”, error message “Error communicating with FME Server host localhost” will pop up. All other functions works fine, I only noticed this when try to create a backup. FME Flow is accessible through http://localhost:8080/fmeserver/

On FME Server 2022.1.1, me and a fellow colleague noticed we cannot download any FMW files from the Workspaces page. Upon opening a Chrome console, we both get the following errors when trying: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 () main-es2015.4568b5467a926bd0ac9b.js:1 ERROR TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'body') at HTMLIFrameElement.j [as __zone_symbol__ON_PROPERTYload] (safe-software-app.22623.min.js:10:16906) at HTMLIFrameElement.w (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:35186) at u.invokeTask (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:25728) at Object.onInvokeTask (main-es2015.4568b5467a926bd0ac9b.js:1:526473) at u.invokeTask (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:25649) at a.runTask (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:21137) at l.invokeTask [as invoke] (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:26778) at p (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd343d735b.js:1:39061) at HTMLIFrameElement.h (polyfills-es2015.e7ece7f15ffd34

Hi all, I need some advice for 2 issues in FME server, which are possibly related: 1. Memory Issue ( Insufficient memory available -- error code was 2 - please read the FME Help section 'Adjusting Memory Resources' for workarounds. ):I have an issue with a workbench I’ve made in FME desktop which behaves differently when run on FME server. Both environments have the same memory constraints. The issue occurs when I try to load a handful (<5) of files into my workspace, which generally can handle upwards of 400 regular files. The files themselves aren’t much different (no odd characters that might trip the process up), but FME seems to get stuck on a subset of them, and keeps churning until all memory is used up. As mentioned, this only happens in FME Server. On failing a Job due to no memory, it tries again: (Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage limit. To improve stability and performance please increase the memory available to FME. Available memory can be increas

Hi all, I am running FME Flow 2023.1 and have a flow app with a handful of mandatory parameters which the user enters and clicks 'OK'. If the user does not enter all parameters and attempts to run the app, they get a 'Please supply a list for parameter' error. If the user re-enters all the parameters and attempts to run the app, the 'OK' button is now greyed-out. The user must refresh the page and start again. is there a reason for this behaviour? It's pretty annoying to have the user re-enter all parameters again if they have forgotten to enter a mandatory field. thanks

when i trying to run this workspace from server i get this error This FME edition does not recognize the `SAFE.GOOGLE-SHEETS.GOOGLESHEETS4' reader. Please ensure that the current platform supports this reader, the reader name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins

Hello, So we upgraded the server to the latest version and now I can't run a workspace.

When in automations you work with the dynamic workspace runner the workspace field blanks after hitting [apply]. It is annoying and confusing because some times the chosen parameter value is not forgotten and some time it is forgotten!? I believe this is a bug but have not seen any mentioning of this in here. So appologies if this is a known issue expected to be solved in next release! Before [apply]: After [apply]:

Where to find FME Server 2022.x Java API documentation?

Hi I am trying to run a workspace in server (my first!) and am getting the following error: "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details" ArcGIS Pro Advanced 3.1 is installed on the machine with a single use licence. The version of FME Server is 2022.2.5 so that should be compatable. The original workbench runs fine and the ESRI workspace parameter is set to ArcGIS Pro. Does anytone have any ideas as how to resolve this? Thanks

I have a number of workspaces to allow users to convert data between various formats. After upgrading our server to Flow from Server 2023 I had to republish these to get them to work, and for the most part it seems ok. I register each workspace with the job submitter and data download services, and use $(FME_MF_DIR) for temp storage of the uploaded data. So far so good... Then there is that one workspace: It is defined the same way as the others, but this will not allow me to select "User Can Upload" when I define the workspace app. The other apps I set up with Service: Data Download and check User Can Upload. For this one workspace the option is not there unless I choose Service: Job Submitter, but then I am not able to download the results. I can run the workspace manually in Flow, upload files and get a download link to the results, but can't get it to work as an app Any ideas to what this can be?

Hi Folks - I would like to use the FME Server API to get a list of the Web Connections that a workspace uses. I see that there is an endpoint for GET /repositories/< repository >/items/< item >/parameters , but this doesn't provide details regarding the Web Connections configured for the workspace. I currently have a query like: http://domain.com/fmerest/v3/repositories/repo_name/items/workspace_name.fmw/parameters ... and wondering how to change this to get the Web Connection details as well. In the implementation notes of the endpoint above I see the info below, but I am not sure how to use the create a query using the "Sub-type: Web Connection Parameter" Sub-type: Web Connection Parameter parameter { connectionTypes (array[string]): Connection types of this published parameter, defaultValue (string): Default value of the published parameter, description (string): A human-readable description of the published parameter, excludeConnectionTypes (array[string]): Connection types to excl

I have a Flow/Server running, where users access it via SAML authentication. Each user is then assigned to a role with appropriate permissions for a team user belongs to. While users have fmeauthor permissions on Test environment, we have a requirement that users can get read only access on Prod env. With this jobs are run by a system account on the Prod. The challenge here is to find a way to let users be able to view "their" job logs, review configuration or perhaps validate generated data in FME_SHARED_RESOURCE_DIR . Is there a way to configure role in a way so a user can view all jobs, job logs, automations, resources, etc.? For example: speaking about jobs - from what I can see I can either grant Jobs/Access permission (so user can see jobs ran by the user only) or Jobs/Manage (which grants too wide permissions for read only access).
