FMESERVER-19220 With the FMEServerNotifier, if you include \n in the JSON, the JSON will be Null on FME Server.

This has been fixed by FMEENGINE-74950. Please upgrade to FME Server 2022.2 and create the workspace in 2022.2.

FMESERVER-19159 In a Fault-Tolerant installation when the Core with the 'Active Job Router' fails, the remaining engines do not connect with the second Core Job Router. They will appear available in the Web UI but will not detect jobs in the queue for processing. This issue resolves itself after two hours. 

In fmeEngineConfig.txt set the RECEIVE_TIMEOUT directive to 90000. Save the file and restart FME Server to apply the change.

Setting this directive forces the Engine to terminate itself after it does not receive a translation request for the specified time, effectively breaking out of the hung state.

FMEFLOW-18948

When creating a schedule, if a file parameter exists that has (1) “Items to Select” set to Geodatabase and (2) “Path Selection” set to Multiple Paths, the schedule will fail to be created and an error will be returned saying something like: “Unexpected value “[“\\\\mynetdir\\folder\\hello_world.gdb”]” for parameter “value,” expected scalar.” Automations and Server Apps are not affected.

Set the geodatabase source dataset parameter from Multiple Paths to Single Path in the Path Selection. Once this change is made in FME Form (Desktop), publish the workspace and test creating a schedule.

After creating a database connection (e.g. SQLite database connection using a database file in Resources) that users an uploaded file on FME Flow (Server), trying to run a workspace that uses this database connection results in the following error:

`SQLite Reader: Failed to open database '$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)\databasejoiner.sqlite'. SQLite3 Engine error: `unable to open database file`

There are two workarounds available:

1. Upload the file (e.g. SQLite file) to Resources Data. 

or

2. Using the same database file on FME Form (Desktop), publish to FME Flow using the Embed Connection Parameter option

When the FME Flow web UI is accessed via FQDN, SAML login attempt [ after typing in the IDP credentials and submitting] takes us back/loops to the IDP login prompt webpage. SAML works well after replacing the flow host FQDN with IP address. Reference the flow/server host with IP address instead of the FQDN [i.e. FME_SERVER _WEB_URL field in fmeServerConfig.txt and 
fmeServerWeb ApplicationConfig.txt]
Setup the SAML configuration with the IP address instead of the FQDN.

FMEFLOW-19917 Deleting the “fmeauthor” role causes FME Server login page to load with no username or password prompt. Loading the login page returns the response “Specified SAML configuration does not exist” . When deleting the default fmeauthor role i.e. deleting the corresponding entry from fme_role table, it causes the child record in fme_samlconfig to be deleted as well, effectively removing the only entry in the table. “fmeauthor” role is the default role assigned to the pre-existing SAML record. If upgrade is not possible, manually insert a new record in the “fme_samlconfig table” with values from another healthy FME  server’s database [would be the same values]. Also, replace the deleted role “fmeauthor”. 2022.2.1 2023.0

If you remove a "parent" web service the "child" web service will also disappear

If child web services are required, they will need to be reuploaded separately.

When a dynamic workspace with automatic retries is configured within a split-merge block, multiple actions are taken and are not correctly merged when exiting. 

I.e. for each retry, a failed message will be logged even if a successful run is reached.

None currently. Regular workspace actions act as expected, as well as dynamic workspaces outside of Split-merge blocks
