| Backup and Restore | FME Flow | Restoring a backup from 2020 or 2021 will not restore the Tools repository (which may contain user-created workspaces) and presents no errors in the logs FMEFLOW-21520 |
1. Before backup, publish workspaces to a different repository, then after restoring, create the Tools repository and re-publish workspaces there 2. If access to the source server is lost, open the fsconfig file by renaming it to a .zip extension, find the workspace in the files folder, and re-publish to the new instance (after creating the Tools repository) |

Resolved 2025.0 |
| SSL Configuration | FME Flow | Installing FME Flow on Linux OS and configuring HTTPS using a self-signed certificate topic monitoring will not work. DEVOPS-1618 |
The recommended workaround is to use a valid certificate issued by a recognized certificate authority. Alternatively, you can set up FME Server to bypass the SSL configuration for the WebSocket service (used by topic monitoring) under System Configuration → Network & Email → Topic Monitoring, set the Internal WebSocket URL to ws://localhost:8078/websocket. |

SQLite3 Engine error: `unable to open database file` FMEFLOW-20548 |
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 |

Workaround |
| Temporary Uploads | FME Flow | FME Flow workspace translation fails to find uploaded temp datasets when Engines are distributed across different operating systems FMEFLOW-21985 |
Copy file(s) to the system location where FME is expecting to find it, or first upload the file via the REST API and then call Webhook URL |

Workaround |
| Webhooks | FME Flow | Cannot create a workspace webhook. The OK button is inactive and fields are missing from the Create Webhook page. FMEFLOW-23291 |
This affects workspaces with no published parameters and an SQLCreator or SQLExecutor. Add a published parameter to your workspace, use a native reader/writer, or use an Automation webhook and trigger it via a POST call. |

| System Proxy | FME Flow | After supplying updated credentials for a previously configured system proxy, version control will not detect the updated credentials and continues to make requests using the old credentials. FMEFLOW-18251 |
After updating the credentials under System Configuration >Network & Email > Proxy restart the FME Server Core Service. |
2025.x 2024.x 2023.x |
Workaround |
| REST API V3 | FME Flow | When transitioning from the V3 API to the V4 API, there is a known issue related to the handling of categories in Schedules. In the V4 API (which the FME Flow 23 UI uses), the concept of categories in schedules has been removed, and tags have been introduced as an alternative. The issue arises when creating a schedule using the V4 API. In the V4 API, a default category is implicitly created and represented by a unique identifier. If this schedule is retrieved using the V3 API, the category listed will be this unique identifier. This may cause issues for users who have built a custom interface using the V3 API. FMEFLOW-16486 |
None |

Jobs with AutoDesk AutoCAD readers/writers using the REALDWG plugin directory fail with the error "Module 'realdwg/REALDWG' is unavailable for use with this FME edition." FOUNDATION-568 FMEENGINE-85174 |
Before attempting this workaround, make a copy of the Flow RealDWG plugin folder (<FMEFlowDir>\Server\fme\plugins\realdwg) so you can undo your changes if necessary. Then, replace the RealDWG plugin folder in FME Flow with the FME Form RealDWG plugin folder (<FMEFormDir>\plugins\realdwg). For workspaces handling DWG files containing only 2D data or where primitive 3D data capabilities are acceptable, use the Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF (ACAD) reader/writer as it does not require RealDWG. FME 2024.2.1 and above uses RealDWG 2025 which is compatible with Windows Server 2019 and above. Upgrade your Windows Server or downgrade FME to 2024.1.4 or below. |

| FME Flow Database | FME Flow | When using the encryptConfigSetting.ps1 power shell script to encrypt the FME Flow database password a NoClassDefFoundError exception is called. FOUNDATION-581 |
The database credentials were recently relocated to a new file, fmeDatabaseConfig.txt, but the script still references the old file, fmeCommonConfig.txt. As a workaround, the file path can be passed as a third parameter like so: .\encryptConfigSetting.ps1 DB_PASSWORD fmeflow 'C:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fmeCommonConfig.txt' |
