Core OS is running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. NFS mount point has been verified accessible from FME server to NAS. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if it is possible but feel I can't be the only person with this question. I have a standard FME Pro install with 8 worker license. Is it possible to reserve a couple of licenses so they will always be available for certain workflows that run as a cron jobs? I basically don't want my cron tasks getting held up because other users run processes that occupy all 8 workers. 

We are migrating from FME Desktop 2014 (32-bit) and FME Server 2015 (32-bit) to FME 2020.We have our old sworldswaf.dll and sworldswaf.fmf files for Smallworld 4.3 and know we should simply copy those files into FME 2020 directories as in our FME 2014/2015. Now the question is whether we should stick to FME 32-bit or we can go and install FME 64-bit (or FME Destkop 32-bit and Server 64-bit with 64-bit engines) and keep using our old GE Smallworld files without problems.I read the documentation here but want to make sure we can't install 64-bit version of FME Server.

So I have built a basic server app that allows users to log in and run a workspace. Using the 'Require Authentication' option in the app. Created a user account and user is able to execute process.But I'm having trouble capturing the user name as part of the routine to write to a history table. In my Desktop workbench, I'm using a Published Parameter defaulting to:$(FME_SECURITY_USER)In the Server workspace, I'm not showing that particular parameter so that it can't be changed to something else. When I run it myself while logged in as 'admin', that's what gets logged. But when I have user "johnsmith" running it as, it logs NULL.  Am I missing something else? Also is there any way to leverage AD Authentication if you don't want to set up a bunch of users and require them to log in to run the app?Thanks.

@rahulsharma​ and I just troubleshoot FME Workbench not opening on a Windows 10 machine that has an NVIDIA graphics card. There were no warnings or anything when trying to get the program to open. The mouse would spin for a second and that was about it. After a lot of trial and error, we found that changing in the NVIDIA Control Panel from "High Performance" graphics to "Integrated graphics", FME opened right up without issue. Hope this helps! Make sure to add each application (even do it for the Help to actually open). If you know of a better way, I'm all ears.     

My organization is switching our license to an ESRI Edition license, but my client has Professional Edition instaled. Can I run this way while I wait to upgrade my client application?

​Main questionCan anyone advise me about the installation of the GDAL Python module and its implications on FME's Python interpretations? Can anyone share their experiences in using a different Python module within FME other than FME's Python interpreter or ArcPy? Background infoCurrently, it is not directly supported to calculate percentile values in the *StatisticsCalculator transformers of FME (e.g. also not in the RasterStatisticsCalculator). See also this Idea on the FME community.In order to still do so, I thought about using a Python script/module to perform this step. Specifically, I would like to extract the 95% percentile of pixel values in a GeoTIFF (those pixel values represent absolute height values), for portions of the GeoTIFF that overlap/intersect with 2D polygon features of building extents.  

For my workflow, I need to expose this value in an attribute. What are my options?

The same problem occurs when starting a workspace. When using VPN, it can take 1-2 minutes just to start the workspace. Without VPN, it´s instantaneous. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I use Windows 10, 64 bit, FME 2020.0 using SCCM, fixed license.

I am trying to setup a web connection under Tools -> Manage Service -> and I don't have Esri ArcGIS Portal(template) available. Is there a file I can import or resource to build it for Enterprise Portal?  Version of desktop: FME(R) 2018.0.1.0 (20180518 - Build 18310 - WIN64)

The image of the error is attached here..Thank you as I await a solution to the issue. let me also state that FME 2018 and 2019 ARE WORKING PERFECTLY WELL on my computer except, FME 2020 AND 2021.

Hi, we want to upgrade our License Server to Windows 2019 (from Windows 2012) and are running with FlexLM v11.15.0.0. Will we need to upgrade the License Manager? Thanks!

Hi, Im working in a local government. We have a FME desktop licens (one license), only used by GIS admins.  We have a lot of users that need a tool to make easy translations between formats. I am wondering if it is possible to implement FME Quick Translater in the entire organisation, without implementing the full FME desktop?  e.g. i basically want my users to be able to right click on a dgn file - click translate with FME Quick translaetor - save the dgn to whatever new format and then open it in eg QGIS.  How could that work license wise etc.? it it possible to buy "only" the quick translate part?

In FME 2021.1, is anyone else having an issue where the feature class that FME writes is a data table, instead of a polyline?  I'm using a dynamic workflow with a FeatureWriter and the open file geodb writer on a Mac.  This was working perfectly before upgrading to test in 2021.1. 

We have FME Server 2020 build 20614 and are trying to upgrade to 2021. Unfortunately, there is no "Backup & Restore" option available anywhere in the UI. Is it hidden away somewhere we aren't looking? I am trying to follow this guide

I am trying to update an ArcOnline layer using another SDE layer. Is this possible to do live using the ArcGISOnlineConnector or would that require downloading of the SDE to update the layer.

Can you use LDAP/Active Directory Reader (Technology Preview) to update active directory? If not, what does FME offer to provide this functionality? Thanks

Houston,We have a problem with the File Geodatabase writer that requires ArcGIS (not the API version). It performs differently in different virtual environments (Citrix) with different FME versions, on the same File Geodatabase. We suspect that the differences in the virtual environments are the cause of this, because the desired functionality is offered in all FME versions. We'd like to know which parts of the ArcGIS Desktop installation are used by FME, when writing to a File Geodatabase, in order to get to the bottom of the issue.  The details of the situation are as follows. As mentioned, we have two different virtual environments:A production environment with FME 2019 32-bits served in a "bubble". This is combined with ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1, in a direct install (no bubble).A testing environment with FME 2019 64-bits and ArcGIS Desktop deployed the same way as the production environment In the productio

How can I bypass the problem that appears to me while trying to migrate from windows server 2012​ to 2016 R2, I have an error "Too long Path" , how can just skip this? I use Robocopy​

I am using the SpatialRelator for populating a list of adjacent polygons for specific polygons of a geojson polygon layer. I tried the "Requestor Intersects Supplier" and "Requestor Touches Supplier" predicates but they also include those polygons touching at only one point. I only want those sharing a line, so I have a ListElementFilter taking only the following relationship masks: FF2F11212 and FF2F1F212. The problem is that the process is much slower when adding that custom transformer. It is even worse when I use the "FF2F11212 FF2F1F212" value in an attribute in the "spatial predicates to test" field. Can you think of a more performant way to obtain the adjacent polygons into a list?Thanks!Olivier

Hi there,I have some features in the NAD83 CSRS datum and while things run on FME Desktop, it fails on FME Server when there is reprojection:Reprojector: Reproject: Could not reproject the geometry of the preceding feature: CS-Map Reprojector: Unable to load grid file for 'NAD83_to_CSRS' | CS-Map Reprojector: This grid may either be available at the government agency applicable to the geographical area or in the FME Reprojection Grid Add-on at: | http://www.safe.com/support/support-resources/fme-downloads/ or http://www.safe.com/support/support-resources/fme-downloads/beta/ | CS-MAP Reprojector: Please visit following link for more information on obtaining Canadian grid files: 

We will be migrating a server holding FME(Safe) licenses to a new Domain. Everything else on the server will remain the same, Name-IP-Hardware-Disc ID. The only thing to change will be the domain the server sits in. Will this change affect the licenses?

I have built a model, for making custome report in fmes html creator. I have added custom htmltopdf transformer as described in protocol, but not getting pdf. Also no errors showed up in the log. Do i have to change some transformer parameters?  Thanks in advance for the help.

Since there is a limit on download I need to add a search envelope on my WFS and WMS import. I got this working in 2 ways: using the search envelope in the parameters of the reader or the XML filter expression. "<Filter>  <BBOX>   <ValueReference>Geometry</ValueReference>   <Envelope srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::31370">     <lowerCorner>159221.09606242698 220934.16757763177</lowerCorner>     <upperCorner>160221.09606242698 221934.16757763177</upperCorner>   </Envelope>  </BBOX></Filter>" My question is how I can use calculated coordinates as an input for this reader. Since the coordinates of the bounding box will change.(I know it has something to do with user-parameters but I can't get any number in the expression or parameter of the search envelope.) Thanks
