Hi All,In 2016.0, I have a list like this:  _list{0}.class = 1 _list{1}.class = 2 _list{2}.class = 3 _list{3}.class = 5 _list{4}.class = 2 _list{5}.class = 1  I need to know how many of any given class there are with the feature.ListHistogrammer does this nicely:  _histo{0}.value = 1 _histo{0}.count = 2 _histo{1}.value = 2 _histo{1}.count = 2 _histo{2}.value = 3 _histo{2}.count = 1 _histo{3}.value = 5 _histo{3}.count = 1  My problem then is turning those into attributes simply. I don't want to have to explode or deconstruct my feature further (this workspace is already too large and slow).  In this example, I'd like my output feature to have attributes like these:  first_class = 2 other_thing = 2 third_item = 1 fourth_item = <missing> final = 1Any ideas how to do this? I could likely do it with a PythonCaller, but surely there's a better way?

Is there an easy way to download (or backup) whole repositories from FME Server 2015.1 to workbench-files for use in FME Workbench (Desktop)? In older versions of FME Server I could locate the files in the file system on the server, but not any more.I'm not really interested in backing up the whole server configuration and I not sure how I would use that from FME Desktop.I have seen the FME Server Repository reader/writer and in the help it seems that it can be used for backup, but I haven't figured out how to do that. What I would want to do is basically do a "Download from FME Server" in Workbench, but for multiple files or whole repositories.Any suggestions?/Tomas

Hi all,I have the following scenario:A "master" workspace calling 3 other workspaces on FME Server 2017 using FMEServerJobsubmitter transformers.Followed by a FileCopy writer (in the same "master" workspace) copying the files on the FME Server (using the resources folders).This works perfectly (files are created and copied to the right location).But I want to run the "master" as a Data Download service.The ZIP file is created and a link is delivered. But the ZIP file remains empty.It does not seem to collect the output from the FileCopy writer.Am I missing anything (other than the option to re-read the data using a FeatureReader and writing using actual writers)?Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi there, I don't think the Input Ordered parameter (Input is Ordered by Group in older versions) works properly in FME 2017.0 build 17271. See the following movies and attached workspace: - created with FME 2016.1.3.2 build 16717Run the attached workspace with FME 2016.1.3.2 build 16717. Looks good.Run the same workspace with FME 2017.0.0.1 build 17271. The PointCloudCombiner seems to cache all input features before starting processing, even if the Input is Ordered by Group parameter is set to Yes.Am I missing something?

We sometimes encounter a conflict between a format attribute held by the feature and writer parameter setting, especially in a case where the writer format is the same as the reader format.It may be difficult to define generic rules regarding which one should take priority, but in this case, I think the Compression Method parameter setting for the writer should be respected regardless of the value of "geotiff_compression_method".Convert Packbits geotiff to lzwHow do you think about this?

Hi,I'm new on FME and I've to copy data from a VDB to oracle. I'm working with FME 2013 SP4, I think I've to initiate a new reader with the JDBC driver but I don't know how.Is it possible to have some help/information about that ?Thanks by advance,Slop

Hi All, during the process, I use the Matcher to split up the features that have identical geometry. For this set of features, all kinds of attributes can have changed (in other words, there is no fixed ID). Hence, I would like to use the Update Operation of the Oracle writer. I cannot use the 'Match Columns', since they all might have different values,even though the geometry is equal. Is there any way to have a WHERE clause I could use? I see SDO_EQUAL, but what are the arguments for the geometry already in FME and the one in Oracle, so both can be compared? Would that be slow?I could use a delete statement and then an insert, using FeatureWriters, so I am in control of the order of execution. I was just wondering whether it would be possible to make it work like described above. regards, Jelle

Hello All, I have a .dbf table created in ESRI's UK Productivity Suite - it's simply a table to point to raster files of base mapping, with a field containing the file path to .tif files, an OID field and fields for xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax. My problem is that I want to find and replace the file path with a different path. I have tried this in ArcMap but the file locks and isn't editable. I can't even think what Transformer I need to do a find and replace of text! I'm sorry - it's Friday and I'm very tired..... I'd be very grateful if anyone is able to help. Many thanks, Jane

Hello Team,I am try to use Clipper function in Python API for Raster.When i run my Workspace a crash is happen:Attached my Workspace.Thanks in Advance,

After upgrading FME Server versions and running workspaces which have an FMEServerJobSubmitter, the parent job runs but hangs after the child workspace enters the queue. The 'Wait for Job to Complete' is set to yes, shouldn't this start the child process running at the same time?

I have two shapefiles, A and B:A includes the object id (Field TLNUMERO) and data fields for a long list of TLNUMERO objects. Each TLNUMERO can be listed on many rows, as data about different angles around the object is found on different rows.B includes among others the same objects (their id also specified by field TLNUMERO) but otherwise other data / fields. Each TLNUMERO is listed only on one row.  I want FME to insert the data from two fields (say xxx and yyy) from the row with a specific TLNUMERO in table B into the rows with the same TLNUMERO in table A.

Does anyone know if the HTTPCaller sends multiple requests simultaneously, or if it's only one-at-a-time?We're looking to make lots of calls to a web-API, and we don't want HTTPCaller to wait for a response to any given call before the next request is made. The web-API can handle multiple connections at once, and we would like HTTPCaller to do the same.Can it do this? I can't see anything in the docs allowing setting the number of simultaneous connections.

Hello everybody,Last year i was programing some scripts in python that use the FME module call fmeobjects. Now, I am using FME 2017 (last version) and I want to use these scripts but they show me some errors.Before I put the following lines in my code to import the libraries:fmePydPath = "C:\\apps\\FME\\fmeobjects\\python27" #Python FMEfmePath = "C:\\apps\\FME\\" #FMEif fmePydPath not in sys.path: sys.path.append(fmePydPath)  #Try to add pathif fmePath not in sys.path: sys.path.append(fmePath) #Try to add pathSomeone knows the directory for the new site? because I read that the directory is now in "C:\Program Files\FME" so i tried to put this code:fmePydPath = "C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeobjects\\python27" #Python FMEfmePath = "C:\\Program Files\\FME\\" #FMEif fmePydPath not in sys.path: sys.path.append(fmePydPath)  #Try to add pathif fmePath not in sys.path: sys.path.append(fmePath) #Try to add pathbut i get the next error:"ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid win32 applica

Hi,I´m trying to extract data using an ArcGIS Server Feature service reader which is going okay. For some of the layers I´m getting the following error:Python Exception <UnicodeDecodeError>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe5 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)I´m guessing the problem relates to some characters in the tabel of the layer which can´t be read by the ArcGIS reader? Or could the problem relates to the transformer being programmed in Python 2 instead of Python 3 (which i´ve been told is handling encoding-problems better)?I only need the geometries (and the layer names), so is there a way for me just to be able to read the those?If that´s not possible is there a way for me to encode the tables so that I wont get the error-message?Thanks in advance :) Christian

Everything is in the title.

I have merged a spreadsheet with a points dataset. The spreadsheet contains multiple records which will merge with a single point. There can only be a single point and we need to store each set of records on the relevant feature. To do this the requirement has been specified that each records attributes will be stored with a prefix, e.g. 1_AttributeA, 1_AttributeB, 2_AttributeA, 2_AttributeB etc. The maximum number of records in each spreadsheet is unknown so I have used a ListElementCounter to identify this and then a ListIndexer inside a custom loop transformer which should prefix the attribute names for each set of features. FME Inspector shows the attribute names correctly as above, but when output to a file the attribute names are shown e.g. @Value(Prefix)AttributeA. AttributeRenamer and AttributeManager can't handle the output either, indicating in red that the attributes don't exist.Any ideas?Thanks!

Hi - I'm reading in one Esri File Geodatabase using the ArcObjects Reader (not the open source API reader) and writing out another with a subset of the data in it. The Writer uses a 'Reader as a Resource' to control the schema dynamically and also uses an empty Geodatabase with the same schema as a template file, to ensure that featureclasses that are sent no features by FME still exist (but are empty) in the exported FGDB.My problem is that I am getting a warning that I can't engineer out of the process:WARN  |User field name 'OBJECTID' conflicts with value of feature type parameter 'Object ID Field' ('OBJECTID') for table/feature class 'd_y_n59'.  User field will be ignoredThis appears for every featureclass I'm trying to write, so 105.I know that the incoming data has the OBJECTID and I know that the FGDB needs to create it. On my dynamic writer the FeatureType sets the field and the alias to 'OBJECTID' by default. I'm pretty confident that the result is good, even with the warnings

How do I retrieve the lowers and uppers bounds in a discontinuous list of values (alphanumeric)?Example of list: {5, 6, 7, 8, 10a, 11, 15, 16x, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25} The extraction I'm looking for would be: 5-8, 10a-11, 15-20, 25Thank you

I have just installed FME Desktop 2017.0 in OS X (El Capitan) and when I run FME Workbench, I get the following error:Invalid scale reduction specified in coordinate system definition 'Calgary_3TM_WGS_1984_W114'FME won't open

I made a curious observation... if there are no transformers following a python caller, the "close" function of this python caller won't be called before the whole workspace successfully ran... And this puzzles me !  (I made three distinct/separated workflows in the workspace and noticed that, if the third workflow ended with an error, the writers the first and second workflows were successfull, but the python callers closing functions had never been triggered even if every feature ran through the "input" function )  Is that how FME is supposed to work and why ?

Hi All,After log in to the FME server with its credentials, it fails to connect and returns this message “Could not connect to FME Core. Please ensure that it is running” I used FME Desktop and server 2015.1.0.2.What might be the issue here? Best,Lubna

In FME 2016.1 , I have noticed that FME always tends to creates a ArcSDE featureclass in the Reader's Feature dataset by default even though the Feature Dataset value on the writer is set to empty. The reader and writers are both using the ArcSDE Geodatabase formats. Is this a know issue? and Is there a fix for this?
