On the inspector it would be good to be to have a split view of the table view of the data, so you could have a split view of two inspectors at the same time, and can compare columns. This is how I work more as a web developer. I find I want to compare inspectors side by side to check columns in one or the other. Obviously they are tabbed so you have to flick between them often, but I would like an option to have split views. (At least I think it would be good!)
I have a block sitting on a line and a block associated with a point in a DWG file. How can I save the label positions, including the rotation and alignment of attributes like 'ID', 'Slope', and 'IL_Out', using the CAD Feature Writer in FME?
Below you can see line and point features. Let's say each line segment has its own unique ID - in the example below, it will be from 1 to 6. I want to copy IDs from lines to poles that they intersect.According to my example, it would be:Point A: ID 1, 2, 3, 4Point B: ID 4, 5, 6 I have thousands of lines and points. What’s the best way to do it?Appreciate any help!
I have many SQLExecutor transformers and for any reason they use to lost the geometries.The visual preview nor the data inspector show any geometry, only a “There is no geometry in this view” message.When they should save the results in the next FeatureWriter (in a postgis database) only the alphanumeric fields are correctly writed, but the geom field is fill with nulls.When I execute the same sql sentence in QGis or pgAdmin I get the geom field with the correct geometries.I'm not be able to find the fix for this issue. Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
We are converting a number of GIS-focused Automations in FME Flow 2024.0 to use the new SDE Database Connections instead of the old PATH resource. FME Flow is returning an error when attempting to read the new database connection properties: ‘An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file’ For each of the FME Flow Database Connections, we used an FME Resource, ‘SDE_GISD’, for the path reference for the connection file. We found if we use a UNC path instead of the FME Flow resource it works as expected. Is this a limitation or are we doing something wrong?Connection works as expected on local host, local server host, and with UNC path for the database connection within FME Flow. Just not with using a Resource path in the connection.Error:315 2024-7-31 11:51:25 | Opening the Esri Geodatabase reader 316 2024-7-31 11:51:25 | An ArcGIS license is already checked out.

Hi FME Community! First off, a big thanks to everyone who tagged users on last week’s Question of the Week shouting out other users that have helped you. It sure warmed our hearts reading the comments (and the Safers really appreciated the tags)! Feel free to hop in on the discussion here. In September, we kicked off our monthly Community User Spotlights. In the spotlights, we always ask users: If you were stranded on an island and could only bring three things with you, what would they be? Now we’re turning that question over to you! What three things are you bringing with you? Share in the comments below.New to the Question of the Week? Every week, we’ll post a simple but thought-provoking question that could be about your FME journey, the power of spatial data, FME innovation, or the future of FME.Each weekly question you answer earns you an entry in our monthly draw for exclusive Safe swag ($50 value) and points toward badges!

Hello, we are trying to use our FME server to run all of our data conversion via the API. We have created a workbench and uploaded it. We set the service to Job Submitter. When we run it we can not see were the output was written to. The log indicates that job was run successfully but the log does not have any mention of an output location. We have tried to set the output File Geodatabase location to a network drive: “\\nos.noaa\MCD\FADS\FADS_Projects\FME_Workspace_Output\Weekly_Atons” and a local server drive: "F:\FME Server System share\repositories\Testing_Nate\ALL_USCG_Weely_Xmls_to_GDB\output\Weekly_Atons"Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a workspace that is calculating the shortest path across a network for a dataset of start and end points (joined as lines). The length of time it is taking to process the data through the ShortestPathFinder transformer is a lot and it sits as follows for hours on end: Is there a way to speed this up at all? I know I’m trying to process a large amount of data which could be the primary reason but I am curious if there are ways to perfect this process to enable it to complete much faster.
Recently upgraded our Dev environment to FME Flow 2024.1 (in situ)Previously we were connecting to WebMethods using Software AG(Nirvana)After installation, relevant .jar files have been added to the jms directory on the serverHowever, there is no connectivity.The error received isOM.safe.fmeserver.plugin.jms.JMSClientException: javax.naming.CommunicationException: JNDI setup failed on RNAME=nsps:REDACTED [Root exception is com.pcbsys.nirvana.client.nRealmUnreachableException: Realm is currently not reachable:Realm was still unreachable after max retry count - 0]This doesn’t appear to be hugely helpful as you get the exact same error if you use an incorrect provider URL. I can’t see anything in the logs that provides any additional informationAll evidence points to the location being reachable (testnet connection in powershell from the server) @steveatsafe - any ideas?
We have 3 automations that run in parallel (with a slight time offset) and each is identical but runs workbench(1) workbench(2) and workbench(3) so they can run without clashing.One of the parameters for these is a gdb connection file reference which is stored in Resources...Data. However to load this from a workbench we have either no value or a local file path in this parameter and this is edited in the automation to reference the resource file.Periodically one of these automations (not always the same one) will start to fail because when I look the parameter has reset to the default value. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to this. The last one to fail was number 3 so today I’ve tried to recreate that automation from scratch. What i really need is a guaranteed fix for this so it doesn’t happen when we go to production. We are processing a large queue of data and in production need all 3 streams to be active.thanksRob
Hello everyoneIn a project I'm working on, we use the 2021 version and the results of the processes are stored on a disk so that the user can download those results to their personal computer using the URL; for example:https://<url>/download/results/110096.zipAs we understand it, download is like an alias of the path on the disk and Results is a directory on the disk, for example the results are in G:\FME\Results and 110096 is a compressed file with the resultsThese results must remain on that disk for 3 days so that the user has the opportunity to download them, but the problem is that due to the size of the results files, the disk fills up and the processes failWe have another disk with more space. How could we change it so that the results are saved on that other disk and users have access to download them?The person who did the configuration no longer works for our company but told me that to change disks it was only necessary to "expose" the directories of that disk in the T
Hey,There is one blog on support.safe.com on working with esri shapefile data.
