Fastest way to populate adjacent polygons into a list

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

Canada grid shift files can't be parsed

How to use calculated values (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax) as input for a a wfs/wms reader bounding box or search envelope.

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

Engines disappear when active core is down in a fault tolerant installation

Hi,I have installed a Fault tolerant FME Server 2019.2. There are two Core servers and 4 engine servers with one engine each, no engines on the core servers. A third party load balancer take care of the active/passive routing to the core machines. When I look at the Deployment Status in the webUI, all 4 engines are tied to the engine manager on the active core host. The issue appears if I stop the FME Server services on the active core host to test the active/passive behaviour. When the active core is down there are no engines left and the only online core have taken over the Job routing. If I send jobs to the FME Server all end up in the queue. When I start the services again the engines show up again and look like they are tied to the now following engine manager.This should not be the case. The engines shuld swich to the active core when the first one is down. This behaviour appeared after an upgrade (uninstall/install) from 2019.0 to 2019.2. Before the upgrade the engines never dis

SpatialSorter

Hello all, I am taking the Basic Course in Safe website and I am really enjoying using this fantastic software. I am doing the exercise called Residential Garbage Collection Zones and I do not understand the SpatialSorter Step (This is the link). The ExpressionEvaluator takes the TotalResident attribute for each feature and divides it by 5 (rounding the result), creating an extra attribute called GroupSize where each value is 109. The SpatialSorter, group the points in spatial proximity and create an extra attribute called GroupId. What I do not understand is how the 109 value (which is the attribute GrupSize) is used to create the GruoupId. What the calculation the SpatialSorter is doing?Why if I give a value different than 109 in GrupSize, the SpatialSorter gives me more or less GroupId (5 or 9 for example). I see as the Spatial sorter is giving the right result, the calculation is absolutely correct but I cannot understand the calculation that SpatialSorter is doing. Thank you

FME Extension for ArcGIS (10.8.1)

After upgrading ArcGIS from 10.7 to 10.8.1, we no longer can see FME Extension for ArcGIS in the Integration Console as an option. We are on FME2019, build 19617. We have tried installing/reinstalling both ESRI and FME in different orders, but with no luck. Both are 32-bit installations. Is this extension in 2019 supported by 10.8.1, or would we need to upgrade to FME2020?

Stresstest FME Server

Hi, this is not the kind of question one wants to ask, since it seems almost unethical to demolish a really lovely product, but has anyone ever had any ideas on a stresstest for FME Server? A workspace that eats every bit of memory on a 64bit system, or that fires new jobs every milisecond, or poking around diffent file contents on the harddisk? Put the FME Server postgres database under a ddos attack? Or anything else that tries to - respectfully said - 'break it down'?

Having some trouble with my Augmented Reality Workflows...

Hello everyone! My company is looking into utilizing SAFE's Augmented Reality tools! We are currently testing the application and are working on becoming familiar with the process at hand. I am attempting to create a "mock" workflow using Mr. Dmitri Bagh's 'City of Coaquitlam' model as my basis. I created a small google document that will show a single buried cable that I generated in ArcMap. However, I keep failing at the end of the workflow. Making it to the 'bufferer' tool before the 3D forcer and extruder. We will want to look at larger datasets in the future, and I figured this workflow may be the best to accommodate. I have generated smaller AR models with using the methods found in the '3D Buffered Pipeline' examples. But struggle to generate large scale systems. In that workflow, I am also unable to anchor the gas pipe sample, and scale to an appropriate size/show at ground level. I will attach my workspaces. Would anyone have any tips

How to configure alternate ArcGIS Online background maps

My local Esri reseller in The Netherlands makes available specific basemaps for its dutch users. Their extent, content and coordinate system have been customized as such. But, more importantly, they are supplied from a different URL than the world basemaps by Esri Inc.The latter are hosted from services.arcgis.com, but the ones I would like to use as a background map are hosted from services.arcgis.nl.The Background Map dialog allows me to either configure a standard web map service, like ArcGIS Online (in this case: arcgis.com). The best choice here, I should think, is "Others".But then the dialog acts like a Reader configuration and I can only choose an ArcGIS feature service, which is not the right one for the basemaps.So, I tried the option "Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Map Service" for the source, and filling in the URL in the "Map List" textbox:https://services.arcgisonline.nl/arcgis/rest/services/BasiskaartenBut then I get stuck because credentials ar

FME Desktop - Setting a temporary file location for FME

Hello,By default, the location of FME temporary files in the system temporary directory is on some Windows versions defaults to C:\\temp or under the user local temp directory (i.e. C:\\Users\\mark\\AppData\\Local\\Temp). There is a way to change the location of temp files using these methods : https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-temp-environment-variableThe problem is we need administrator rights to make these manipulations. FME users doesn't have always the administration rights. In my case, setting the location right directly from the WorkBench (in the FME options menu for exemple) would be very helpful : Do you think it can be a good idea? Is there any project to ease the setting of FME Temp files in a future version of FME?Thank a lotRonan Jarno

Attempting to Clip 1000+ Feature Classes in 100 Geodatabases

Hi guys, I have put together a FME list which generated I have 1000 feature classes after I located 100 geodatabases. These 100 geodatabases are all in one folder. I am just wondering if there is a easy way to clip this data to one standard. So clipper is one file which i want all 1000 feature classes to clip to. Is there a quick and easy way to clip all 1000 feature classes and then output to exactly same featureclass and geodatabase name? I can do this by selecting schema and then clipping it but struggling to ensure the output is the same as the input in terms of geodatabase name/featureclass name and fields..

Unable to create Active Directory connection

I'm sure this is answered somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I'm having issues finishing up the AD Connector. I've created a search account and verified it's credentials and began the basic setup for the connector. We have Basic authentication and the correct port is being used, but when we test the connection it says "Unable to authenticate with directory server with given credentials (49)". If I look at the logs it says it successfully establishes a connection with our DC but it fails to authenticate with out search account. Is there something painfully obvious I'm missing (and that I can't find searching these forums)?
