We recently installed FME 2020 we get the following error message when running workspaces with a Python Startup ScriptPython Exception <ImportError>: No module named fmeobjectsFailed to import `fmesite' System setup:Microsoft Windows Server 2016 StandardFME Desktop 2020.0 64-bitArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1ArcGIS Desktop Background Geoprocessing 10.6.1 (64-bit) + ArcGIS Desktop Background Geoprocessing patch for Oracle 19COracle Client 19cOracle instant client 19.5 64-bitWorkspace settings:Preferred Python Interpreter: Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7Python Compatibility: Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7 The problem doesn't occur in our previous version (FME 2019.2.2) with the other settings the same, so it seems it only occurs with FME 2020.Any idea how to fix this?

Somewhat simple question that I have not been able to find much info about: is there any possible way to set the max number of features per feature type in a FeatureReader? Or, is there any sort of workaround to have the same effect?

feature writer dataset name based on attribute value

I am new to FME ...simple question. I have a Feature Writer, which I would like to name with the value from the attribute (@Value(myattribute)_example.dwg) that I can see is there from the logger, but the writer fails to find the value of the attribute, it only creates an empty file with "_example.dwg" with the geo features and an empty file with foo_example.dwg ... I am able to use the reader with file name from @Value(attrr) (I am using the latest version FME desktop trial 2019.2.3.1) I would appreciate any tips ...thanks

FeatureWriter SQLite: Can't Update and Insert with the same FeatureWriter?

Not sure if this is a bug or I'm just doing it wrong.I've got a FeatureWriter that does an Update on a SQLite Table, and then follows this by doing an Insert on the same SQLite Table.It doesn't work. The Update operation runs, but the Insert doesn't. If I split the FeatureWriter into 2 separate FeatureWriters, one for Update and one for Insert, then it works.Is this just a limitation, a bug, or I've set this up wrong?

Web Scraping COVID Data from U.S. Department of State

Hello FME community, I have never used FME to scrape web pages but I am looking to do so but I don't know where to start. The web source I am looking at provides country-specific COVID information.What I would like to do is scrape each of the country links provided on the site and pull data into a tabular format. Eventually, I would like to join this data to global admin boundaries.Would this be possible using FME? Does anyone know where I could start? Thanks, FME Family!

managing private named connections for another user FME Desktop

So we have FME Desktop installed in Citrix, so a multi-user environment. We have the named connections store file located on the file system with a lot of pre-defined connections in it, mostly database connections. So we give users read access to the folder the named connections store file located in, so users can use the named connections we have set up. Some of our users have AGOL connections they want to set up, these are private to themselves, but they want to use these in conjunction with our other pre-defined connections, so they all need to be in the same named connections store file as far as I knowSo the issue is, since we have only given most folks Read only access to the folder (we like security), they cannot themselves create their own private AGOL connection in the named connections store file. Temporarily giving the user read write on the folder where the connection file is, so they can create their AGOL conn would probably be the logical solution, but the way we manag

Never Ending Workspace

We are suddenly having issues with FME.exe that are not terminating.It does not happen every time either, about twice a day (runs every 15 mins for 20 hrs a day) Log shows everything is Successful, but FME.exe is still running.The workspaces we are having issues with are all using S3 transformers. The upload or downloads are working correctly, but the EXE is not ending. We are running FME(R) 2018.0.0.3 (20180430 - Build 18305 - WIN64). We have not upgraded to 2019 due to an issue we had while testing large file sets. 2020 is in the future, but we need a solution sooner due to a business critical dependency.

Configure Esri Feature Class aliases in a dynamic workflow

Hello, I am working in a workbench for exporting layer from Oracle Spatial to a FileFeoDb, taking the layers to export of a configuration excel. I've already done it, but now I need to configure the alias of every feature class I manage in the process I have searching for a solution but I cannot find anything. My expertise un FMW is not very high, so I need some advise on this...I'm thinking in aggregate aliases in the same way I did with layer names, but I'm not really sure where to configure the attribute generated contained all aliases aggregated. thanks!

ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: inkonstistent behaviour in workbench ...

I am doing my first experiments with ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader.I run into some strange behaviour in Workbench with editing its parameters and wonder what I am missing out on, or if we have some problem here ... I add a reader (old style) and try to publish settings I want to keep variable. This works well for all settings except for the "Feature Service:" setting. There is no way to edit this in Workbench Navigator, and it is not editable in the Reader settings once it is created. I try the same with a Feature Reader (new style) and voila I can publish "Feature Service:" as a parameter. Small trap here: I can only set it to a predefined parameter and the option to create one is missing in the dialog ;-( Problem with this variant: I can't set Search Envelope coordinates as I can do with the old style reader. Seems like there is no way to have all parameters published I want and I need to choose which variant from above comes closer to what I need ? T

How do I limit the dissolver transformer, or give it a condition?

I have a workbench where I have used Spatial Relator and List Exploder to make a list of polygon IDs and Neighbor_IDs of those polygons touching it. I want to count the number of touching polygons, and if they are greater than 3, find which are the same land cover type.Something like: for every unique ID with more than three touching polygons of the same land cover type, with a combined area of less than 200,000m^2 -> dissolve.I have a tester set up to test LC_type ID= LC_type Neighbor_ID, which passes to a counter measuring ID >=3But I don't know how to give dissolver the condition not to dissolve if the resulting polygon is > 200,000m^2.–

Data Download FME Server- JavaScript error- run if geometry is not drawn

Are there any javascript experts out there? I have created a data download web application where you draw a polygon and return some data. I have done this primarily from some samples made available on the knowledge base. It looks ok I have customized it a bit and added some extra functionality/background mapping.This is all working very well when I draw my polygon and submit the request it goes to Server and my data returns.Problem is I want to run the workspace even if a polygon is not defined/drawn - as in I have another parameter option to input x,y min and max values. I would like the workspace to submit without the polygon geometry part being drawn. But when I try to do this I get the following error stating it can not read lengthmapinfo.js:175 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefinedat processClip (mapinfo.js:175)at HTMLInputElement.onclick (mapinfo.html:1) Can anyone tell me how I could get around this basically if its null ignore or something sim
