Since updating our FME Form host computer with the latest version of VMWare Tools, FME Desktop, FME Data Inspector, and all other FME Form GUI software does not run.We briefly get a spinner and then nothing. The problem was noted on FME version 2021 but is a problem with all version of FME Form up to the latest version FME(R) 2024.1.3.0 (20240927 - Build 24627 - WIN64).It is still possible to run Workspaces in batch mode.The issue seems to be with OpenGL as indicted in the log, below.I would be interested if others have the same issue and, if so, how the issue can be resolved.Here is a snip from the log file:VMWare Tools v12.5.0.24276846Faulting Module = vm3dgl64.dllWorking Version = 3.5.3.2Faulting Version = 3.6.0.0 Event Log:Faulting application name: fmeworkbench.exe, version: 2021.7.41.21614, time stamp: 0x60f7b7a5Faulting module name: vm3dgl64.dll, version: 3.6.0.0, time stamp: 0x66a16726Exception code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x0000000000e3696dFaulting process id: 0x1becFaulting
One of my teammembers suffered a hardware crash recently. He got a replacement laptop from IT but it’s performance is terrible. When opening the Inspector, 3D mode returns next image:It is a Lenovo Thinkpad P15 with an i7, 64GB ram and an NVIDEA RTX A2000 GPU. Windows 11.My machine is almost the same spec and works flawless. Windows 10.I know this question is not really FME related but what would be logical things to check / try to get it running the inspector in 3D?What we did was install the latest videocard driver, but this did not change anything. Our IT is only staffed to solve Office365 problems, no help from there.
I have a workbench where I am reading data from a SDE looking for rows updated in the last 7 days then exporting to an excel file. That is working well. I’m also using mapnikrasteriser to create a map and export a tiff image however the new records have no geometry defined so won't show up on my map. What would be the best option to calculate geometry for those new records?
Hi,I’ve been creating quite a few automations lately and in 1 case I’ve ran into a “limiting” factor where a “Sampler” (like present in FME Form as a transformer) would solve my problem. I think this could be a great addition to the “actions” like Merge, filter, log, etc. The case is as followed:I have 3 workspaces that can run parallel from each other based on a schedule. No matter if they succeed or fail, a fourth workspace should always run afterwards.This can be achieved by not connecting the 3 workspaces with the split merge output ports. Then 1 feature will always come out of the “success” port. (red and blue block below) and the workspace will run once.I however have a fifth workspace that should run “once” if “1 or more” of the workspaces in the red block succeeds.At this point, there is no way to achieve this without creating an extra workspace (the image below with the extra split merge block does not achieve this).I would therefor like to have a “sampler” transformer inside
Hey Folks.I’m trying to move files from one folder to another after execution but it’s not working properly.I have tried using filecopy writer by selecting move option, but copy is working properly but its not move.I have also created attributes - filecopy_source_dataset, filecopy_dest_dataset, filecopy_dest_filename. But I’m not getting what value should i give into these attributes.Kindly help. Thanks in advance

Hello ,How could i convert Geospatial Electrical Network Data (includes stations, cables , houses) are connecting to each other to convert these data as compact Block diagram .it is not important the coordinates ,I need to create a simple block diagram of electrical data .I would like to adjust the positions of elements by bringing them closer together without overlapping and create the suitable connections between them .Is there any idea that I should to test ?FME 2021thanks in advance .
I built a flow where an Excel spread sheet updates a snowflake data table. The spreadsheet in located in a SharePoint documents library. To get the flow to run on an online FME server I had to put in a SharePointOnlineConnector. When I run the flow, I keep on getting “Could not decode contents of ‘jjjjj.xlsx’ as ‘utf8’. I’m running FME workbench 2022.2 at the present time. Any ideas on how to clear this error would be greatly appreciated.
In a standard reader you have the option to clip to extents if setting a search envelope. Similar functionality in the FeatureReader would be useful when a spatial filter is being used to give the option to clip to the filter feature

In a related topic I’ve asked about api’s and JWT authorization: The currently only way is to do this via python. I’ve got myself a script that I call via a systemcaller that runs the python script in a conda environment (not keen on installing extra python stuff in the FME locations). This works as I can fetch my bearer token to do api calls.However there is an expiration time on the bearer token (1hour).So now I’m wondering how to tackle this the best way:I want to do several http calls in parallel (default 25) but if I’m using the token voor 3500 seconds, I want to call my CT for getting a new bearer token. Any not processed calls (I need to make 3k+) should now use the new token. If I again come to this 3500 seconds another refers etc.So what would be a good way to achieve this kind of looping? As the http caller has a limitation that if there is a loop port, multi threading should be set to 1, beating my purpose.I also don’t want to duplicate transformers, because I don’t know ho
Hi All,I have recently upgraded from 2022 to 2024. Previously, when choosing to remove an attribute from within the AttributeManager transformer, the name of the attribute was removed from the ‘output Attribute’ column. This was very handy as it gave a good visual prompt for how the new dataset would appear. Example shown in the screenshot below:I now notice with the new version that the name is no longer removed and stays visible in the Output Attribute column. Example shown below:Does anyone know if this is this something that can be changed in a setting somewhere? I know this is only a small thing but it made a big difference to my day lol :D Thanks!
We are in the process of setting up our production environment. I have enabled version control in Dev and have been committing/pushing my workbench edits to our external GIS repository. I have connected our production environment to the same repository, but Fetch doesn’t pull down the workbenches. Is that normal behavior, as is that user-error? I know I can make a Project file and move them, but was wondering if I’m doing something wrong.
I’ve been creating some workbenches that regularly update datasets on ArcGIS Online, but I’ve hit a small issue with the ArcGIS Online authentication within FME. It’s fine when I run the workbench, but if someone else runs the workspace they need to use their own AGOL account. I’ve added the workbench into an ArcGIS Pro toolbox as an ETL tool so it can be scheduled in Pro, so is there anyway to pass a persons ArcGIS Online account info from Pro to a FME workbench? Or force it to need a login prioir to running.
