During creating fme list I get python error:Attempts from my side:and:and even this:maybe the issue with data in my python list (data) ? but it is just array which contain text data. 

Actually i have to prepare a touristique card so i need to prepare a legend and put some figurative symbols on the map so it will be more descriptif and give the user more information . if someone have any ideas of how to do it please. i'm using a shapefile of a country as a reader and i want to get a shapefile as a writer . thanks

I am having some issues with the 2020 install and i have had to move over to a different PC. I migrated everything fine, but when i open the workspaces, the first thing that occurs is the feature readers try and find the old database and then drop all the feature types that were previously being read. Some of these have 10 or more specific features, all with multiple links so it will take a long time to try and re-link them in, is there any way i can change the parameter without opening it, then open it up?

Hellocan someone tell me or where the meaning and differences of the attributes are described, as well as the values they receive?for example .owns and .xsi_nil are boolean, ok, but what do they mean and what is the difference that distinguishes them from each other?and the others?.about (xml_buffer).nilReason (xml_buffer).gml_remoteSchema (xml_buffer).xlink_href (xml_buffer).xlink_tittle (xml_buffer).owns (xml_boolean).xsi_nil (xml_boolean).DateTime (xml_datetime)  thank youBest regards.

Hey Everyone,I'm trying to do some javascript work with FME Server. I can't seem to connect to my server that runs FME Server. I have the FMEServer.init method set up window.onload but I get the attached error. The onload code is below too, the FMEServer.init portion is near the bottom.  window.onload = function(){debugger;require(["esri/map", "esri/toolbars/draw","esri/graphic", "esri/geometry/webMercatorUtils","esri/symbols/SimpleLineSymbol", "esri/symbols/SimpleFillSymbol","dojo/_base/Color", "dojo/dom", "dojo/on", "dojo/domReady!"], function(Map, Draw,Graphic, webMercatorUtils,SimpleLineSymbol, SimpleFillSymbol,Color, dom, on){map = new Map("mapDiv",{basemap: "hybrid", //Select the basemap

Hi, I was using arcpy inside fme workbench. Till yesterday everything was good. Now today , FME python 27 has been deprecated and 'im not able to import arcpy module. Is there any workaround for this?

I just found the "Enable Cache" option on the FeatureReader, but it's not entirely clear from the documentation when this cache is renewed.Assume I have set the "Cache Timeout" parameter to a very long time, say a week or longer.Will the cache only remain during a session, or will it still exist when I close the workbench, and reopen it later that day?Will the cache still exist when I close the workbench, close down the machine, and reopen the workbench the next day?The reason for asking is that some remote datasets are pretty heavy and only change occasionally, so I wish I could minimise the number of times reading it.Note: I am not talking about workbench feature caching here!

Hey all, I'm struggling to get an Automation set up on FME server 2020. Whenever I add a workspace it states that there are no connections available, but I have a connection set up on the server to a MariaDB database. So far I have found this: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/109765/known-issue-fme-server-resourcesautomations-could.html  So updated to the latest FME Server but it doesn't work Not sure I am missing something simpe or not! Thanks Joe  

I am trying to construct my first custom transformer and have some issue with the schema handling.To explain what I am doing in my transformer:The SQLCreator is pulling information from a PostgreSQL table. The information retrieved are used to extract polygons from a Oracle database in the subsequent FeatureReader (FR_Municipalities). here the requested feature type is static. Cleaning up some attributes and joining a timestamp from the initial PostgreSQL table, the polygons are used to extract data from another table in the Oracle database. The difference here is, that the user has to have the possibility to select the feature type in the last FeatureReader(FR_AnalysisData).Since the feature type is based on a published parameter, there is no specific output port, but all goes trough the generic port. Here I have the problem that basically all

I am forget the password of my workbench . how to get it reset and get the data in to it.

I was looking to do a data transformation task by making use of the following high level workflow: Run a data audit to compile a database table of filepaths of MapInfo tab filesCompile data about the file discovered, included a field as to whether to transform this particular dataset (Field “TransformRequired” with Yes or No values).After our data audit is complete, use the Database table as an input list for the transformation, making use of the FeatureReader transformerUse a MapInfo Tab writer with a dynamic schema, using the “Schema from Schema feature” option as the Schema source. The problem I have is that the input table list will include MapInfo tables which have the same file name, but which are in different file system folders. The paths I am trying to read in include: \\Input\\GDA2020\\MapInfoV16\\PARCEL_VIEW.tab\\Input\\GDA2020\\MapInfoV17\\PARCEL_VIEW.tab\\I

Is it possible in a startup script to access incoming shapefiles and set a private parameter based on a shapefiles attribute?For example, I am a reading shapefiles and at the same time I want to query a rather large database based off a unique id that the shapefiles contain. I'm currently using the SQLCreator because it seems to be the fastest database reader.I was thinking within the startup script, I could set a private or published parameter to a shapefile attribute, then in the SQLCreator, I could have a sql statement, that has db.attname = $(newParameter). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We have a startup python script that will run a kinit process using a keytab file on the server. Unfortunately it appears that even though the kinit was successful and the Kerberos ticket was created correctly, FME is not able to see the newly created ticket in the Kerberos ticket cache. Once the current FME process terminates any new FME processes after wards can see the new ticket. It seems to me the Kerberos ticket cache is read into memory with the initial FME.exe starts and updates are not known about by the FME process. Any idea how make the ticket cache update during the current FME process?  Any ideas or work arounds would be helpful! Current work around idea is to have a separate FME process run separately to generate the Kerberos tickets.  Thanks in advance!!

Fme server app return a failure message if I use drag and drop way to put my input;Hi All,Despite the fact when I running an app and putting the input data for example like that "D:\\Roads_Input.gdb" which way is more diffecult to end user, the app will run successfully with no issues, but When I use the easier way which is drag and drop the gdb file, The app return a failure message!What might be the issue here? Best,Lubna

FME server fails to display the fme app result url directly after running the app successfully,Hi All,Why the FME server fails to display the fme app result url directly after running the app successfully, I think It’s difficult to the end user to go back to resources with user name and password to download the result of the used app! What do you think?Best,Lubna 

I have data pulled from a DB and need to create a multi-page Word or PDF document. What I've got so far is arranging my attributes in the order I want them and sending them through the AttributeExploder so each Attribute can be in a list or table for vertical formatting.First problem: Once the Features go through the AttributeExploder, they are no longer sorted in the sequence I need them.Second problem: I need each Feature/Attribute set to be on a separate page, so separated tables. I've tried using the MSWordStyler, which puts everything in 1 big table, but I need to insert a page break in between each Feature, so a separate table for each. Any guidance or samples are appreciated.

Hi,I have meter data that is currently processed by FME into 15 minutes values, 96 values being in one day.I have been asked to identify if there are 3 or more identical values in the 02:00 - 04:00 that would be the same, as this may prove that the meter has flatlined and is no longer recording the flow.I've not done this before - can anyone please suggest any FME workflow which might identify identical consecutive values and add a value to an attribute? I attach some test data whilst I try and figure it out myself. CheersN

How to customize the name of input and output parameter of fme apps;Dear All,How I can change the name of parameters of app to be understandable to the end user Best,Lubna

I’m trying to emulate a CAD command for offset.  Essentially I want a parallel offset of a line with no curve stroking on the outside angle.  Similar to bufferer but with the ability to make the stroking density a value of 0.  Any easy way to do that?

I'm trying to get imdb movie reviews , for example the movie "The Matrix" has 4K reviews and I need to retrieve all of it.

Hello all,I am trying to validate DWG files and that they have been drawn using metric units. I have exposed the 'Read Drawing System Variables' and that gives me access to autocad_lunits but I am trying to figure out what the output means.In the image below the autocad_lunits comes back with a value of 2 on the 0 layer but not sure what 2 really means. Does anyone know what the range of options that AutoCAD produce or if there is another way to find what units are being used in the drawing?   Note: I know this particular drawing is in metric units but not sure what other values could be expected.

I'm having a hard time even coming up with a title for this problem that I'm seeking help on. But I'll summarize and provide context as much as I can.We are trying to parse publicly available medical data. This data is provided as a concatentation of multipe substrings (ex: 100 or more fields) in one long string. An accompanying document describes the start and end position of each substring that defines the value of a field. I was able to mock up a quick workflow to dynamically supply a single row Excel or CSV file with this data (see excerpt below that I used as a proof of concept) and then feed in the long string text data file:The workspace reads the above and uses an AttributeExploder to "transpose" this table. I then clean out unwanted features and do some calculations to create an appropriate StartIndex and EndIndex (which I use l

Hello,I’m pretty new in using FME and I would like to add raw OSM highway data from a .osm file of iceland to my Geodatabase. So I used the „OpenStreetMap (OSM) XML“ Reader and chose highway as map feature. First it seemed that everything worked well, but then i looked in the attribute table of my GIS and recognized that some attributes are missing, f.e. bridge, tunnel, (see figure 1/2 to see the all fields of the exported OSM file) and some attribute values are emtpy, f.e. layer. (see figure 3).But the data are complete and all these missing/empty attributes exist in the attribute table of the same OSM data file that i converted as shapefile with QGIS. (see figure 4)So how can i get all attributes of OSM Data using FME? I tried some parameter settings in the OSM/XML Reader but nothing worked.Thank you for your help!

Hi.First let me say, that I absolutely love the incremental run abilities added to 2020. It makes incremental building and debugging workspace a breaze.However, production runs are a different matter. Here one always runs the full workspace and as fast as possible. I.e. no caching.I often utilize a master-slave workspace setup, where one workspace calls other workspaces as needed.Now, the caching is a Workbench setting, and cannot be set for a workspace, but does it only apply to the master workspace being run directly, or does it also apply to the initiated workspace that are called by the master workspace ?Cheers.

Hi list.This question has been touched on multiple times, but in different setups, so I'll ask it anyway.I have 16 datasets, that need to run thru the same set of 4 regular transformers. Each dataset has a varying set of attributes.I would like to create a single embedded custom transformer with these 4 regular transformers, and reuse the embedded transformer instead of having to add 4x16 (=64) similar transformers.The attributes are to be accessed in the contained regular transformers, creating a need to expose the attributes.Is this even doable in any sensible way ?Cheers
