FME Server Python 2.x compability checker

Are you currently using FME Server 2021.x or older and want to upgrade to 2022.X? If so, you need to check which workspaces has Python compatibility set to 2.X, since Python 2.x was deprecated in FME 2022. This is easily done using the FME Server REST API.

Step 1: Log in to FME server and go to your REST API page by clicking the question mark in the upper right corner on the Home page and then REST API

Step 2: Generate a token by clicking the Get Token button in the upper right corner, then copy the token string generated in the white box

Step 3: Modify the following script, set {FMESERVERURL} to your FME Server URL and {TOKENSTRING} to the token string generated in step 2

import requests
import json
import re


"""This script was originally created by Martin Ekstrand (https://se.linkedin.com/in/ekstrandmartin)
It will loop all items in your FME server and check if python compability is set to 2.x"""


"""System variables"""
"""The URL to your fme server rest API"""
fme_server_url = r"https://{FMESERVERURL}/fmerest/v3/"


"""Create a temporary token in your REST API via the get token button"""
token = "fmetoken token={TOKENSTRING}" 
headers = {}


url = fme_server_url + "repositories?limit=-1&offset=-1"
accept = r"application/json"
content_type = r"application/json"
headers['Accept'] = accept
headers['Authorization'] = token
headers['Content-Type'] = content_type
payload = json.dumps({})
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
repositories = response.json().get("items")
for rep in repositories:
  repository = rep["name"]
  url = fme_server_url + r"repositories/" + repository + r"/items"
  response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
  items = repositories = response.json().get("items")
  for item in items:
    item_name = item["name"]
    accept = r"application/octet-stream"
    headers['Accept'] = accept
    url = fme_server_url + r"repositories/" + repository + r"/items/" + item_name
    response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
    x = re.search(r'PYTHON_COMPATIBILITY="2.*"', response.text)
    if x is not None:
        print(f"{repository}/{item_name} has {x.group(0)}")        

Step 4: Run the script in any IDE (If you're an ArcGIS user you can run it in IDLE)

It will print a list of all your workspaces that's using Python compatibility 2.X.
