Known Issue ID FMEFLOW-27399
Feature Dashboard workspaces, Utilities/BackupConfiguration.fmw
Product FME Flow
Versions Affected

2026.1

2025.x

Status Workaround

 

Issue

There are three main issues:

  1. Workspaces in the Dashboards repository omit data from the dashboards they create.
  2. The Dashboards/JobHistoryStatisticsGathering.fmw workspace fails when there's over 1000 past jobs on Flow. 
  3. In Utilities/backupConfiguration.fmw, the appendDate user parameter doesn't do anything.

 

Cause

The predominant cause is changes between the V3 and V4 REST API. 

 

Workaround

Download the zip file in Attachments, extract it, and publish the new workspaces to FME Flow. 

This can either be done in the FME Flow UI:

 

Or can be done in a single API call for each repository, using the endpoint POST /repositories/{repository}/items/upload?overwrite=true:

 

Resolution

A fix is not yet available, but is scheduled for 2026.2 (subject to change). Refer to the Workaround section above until this is released.
