Out of the blue, I've started getting the below error message with my workspaces running on flow which talk to SharePoint:

 

FME Flow error log

I did some of my own digging, and found this community post:

where the user had a similar issue. I have uninstalled my sharepoint package (1.1.6) and downgraded a version but it still doesnt work. I also upgraded it to 1.1.7 for good measure and that also didn’t fix the issue. 

 

I am not downloading these packages directly off of hub because my install is on a remote server, so i have to copy the packages across before installing. I know partial installs can occur doing it like this, but error came out of the blue and I’m not sure why. There was an OS upgrade on the remote server prior to this, but if something was inadvertently deleted, I would have thought that reinstalling the package would restore what was missing. 

FME Server 2022.2.5
Build 22795 - win64

 

Thanks :) 

 

 

 

Hi fionasin

 

I’d try reauthenticating the connection on your Flow. To do this go to Connections and Parameters > Web Connection. Select your Sharepoint Web Connection and select Authorize.

 

 

You might see this button is greyed out. No worries, you’ll just have to populate the web service with the steps seen here: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407456802957-How-to-Create-a-SharePoint-Multitenant-Web-Connection-for-FME-Flow

If this does not resolve the issue, I’d open a support case with us. 

 

Thank you!

Unfortunately authenticating the connection was not the solution, but Safe Software did give me one!

 

Complete uninstall of the package, which included deleting all the SharePoint package files from the following folder of my FME Flow machine:

- packageFiles

-python

-transformers

-resources

-webfilesystems

 

I then published basic SharePoint workspace with a SharePoint Connection to FME Flow and ran it, which to my understanding ‘reinstalls’ the package. This resolved the error entirely. 

 

Thanks!
