I'm building a workflow that has error handling system in it. The idea is to send a message to the client about some specific error. To do that I've created a Custom Transformer that sends message. It would be very handy to extract the Transformer Name and send it as a Error Code. In that way I can avoid typing an Error Code as a parameter value.  On the attached image you can see an example where ER000n are instances of the same Custom Transformer. I wonder is it possible to extract whatever was used as a Name of the transformer (ERR0006, ERR0007, etc.) form inside transformer? Extracted name will be a part of the Error Message that I'm sending to user.  Thanks  

Hi, we are seeing some odd behaviour in our FME Server 2015.1 instanceWe are running a 'runner' workbench, that uses 3 chained fmeserverjobsubmitter transfomers to call 3 'workers' and all are configured in 'sync' mode (i.e. wait for the job to finish)Occasionally the first worker (which can take just over an hour to run) is submitted twice. The timing of the second submission appears to be random and between 10-50 minutes.the driver workbench log shows no record of triggering this second job and appears to fail with the error(ServerJobSubmissionFactory): A connection error occurred with server "http://fme-server.prod/fmeserver"both the workers appear to complete successfully sometime after the runner has failed.Does anyone know what conditions might be causing this automatic resubmission of a job and, ideally, how to prevent it?I

I have several custom transformers which perform different QA checks. They are designed to read in any data set with any number of tables and columns per table and perform checks for each table.  Within this custom transformer, I run the data through an AttributeExploder and have the following: attr_name | attr_value.  I do a few tricks to attach fme format attributes to each value | name pair to get the following:  DatasetName | DatasetType | TableName | RecordName | RecordValue Below is a screenshot of an example of some data for just two tables: So what I want to do is split out the data into their original tables, pivot, and perform analysis on each one - simply find any rows with repeating data - ALL WITHIN THE CURRENT CUSTOM TRANSFORMER - without having to write to file

I have a chain of WorkspaceRunners that I need to bring to FMEServer, but it should still be possible to run them in Workbench as well. So, I created a TestFilter where '$FME_JOB_ID' NOT has a value. If it does not have a value, a WorkspaceRunner is triggered. It fails with the message:Undefined macro `FME_JOB_ID' dereferenced in file `ReferencedWorkspace.fmw'An error occurred during the batch file execution, 1 translation failed. The following error message was raised: #2 : Undefined macro `FME_JOB_ID' dereferenced in file `ReferencedWorkspace.fmw'The parameterFetcher in the 'ReferencedWorkspace.fmw' causes this error.  The Workaround I made was to put a value 'N/A' in the 'FME_JOB_ID' of the ReferencedWorkspace (which also contains a TestFilter but with '$FME_JOB_ID'  NOT has a value or = 'N/A'). So two questions:why do I get the Error message in the first place? The Main procedure doe

I have a workspace that runs using FME Desktop and the windows task scheduler. I would like it to send out an email notification upon successful completion that includes a total record count, a list of ID of all the records, and a timestamp.In my specific instances, I'm using a FeatureWriter to write lines of text to a number of text files that are named using fanout and a unique ID field. What I've come up with works but it feels clumsy. The screenshot below leaves out the actual FMW processing and starts with the Writer (bottom left) and another branch feeding in records.Maybe you agree - there has got to be a better (more out of the box) way to do this, right? If so, I'm all ears.Footnote: Most of my stuff runs in FME Server which utilizes notifications there (although not with the above type of summary), so I have never had to dig into bolting

I have created an attribute from a database table for planning applications and this ultimately will populate an excel spreadsheet.My question is in the excel spreadsheet it is coming though with the code of the different application types and for the audience that the spreadsheet is intended for it would make more sense to have the description pulled through.i.e in the spreadsheet it is showing as ADV and i would like to convert this to advertisement consent

I am working in FME2017. I have a parent workspace that calls on a child workspace via the WorkspaceRunner. Initially, both workspaces are stored in the same directory. If I move the parent workspace to a different location, the directory specified in the WorkspaceRunner automatically updates to the location I move the parent into. Since the WorkspaceRunner can no longer find the child workspace in the location being called, all the parameters are now cleared, and the WorkspaceRunner is flagged as an incomplete transformer.I can work around this....But, is this expected, or is this a bug?

I've uploaded a workspace to FME server which runs on Desktop but errors out there:All the parameters are completed, but when I try to run the workspace FME Server returns this error: When I click on the View Details button I get this:  Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? I've attached the workspace.ThanksNeil

I'm trying to understand Fanout better. I ran a test with a planning appeals points dataset where I set the output to split the source data into subset .tab files based on a the 'decision' field. This worked and created 19 tab files as there are 19 possible decision values in the source data. However there are two issues:  1 The process places the outputs into their own folders (e.g.: the process creates a folder called Split decision which then contains the tab file showing just the split decision valued records. (It’s doing this because of the issue raised in point two below)  Is it possible to places all 19 output .tabs into the same directory folder?  2 The output tab files are all called the same name as the source file. The source file is called ‘LBS Planning - Decided appeals’ and all 19 output files are also called ‘LBS Planning - Decided appeals’. Can FME rename the output files along the lines of the v

I have to write multiple consecutive datasets (adjacent tiles) to Aircom Enterprise files.Is there any possibility to merge new data of adjacent tiles to the existing clutter file in the folder instead of overwriting it?

Hello FME Support, I am running FME Desktop Version 2019.1 and have found that the user attribute settings are not holding after being changed in the FeatureWriter.I have an attribute called "category" which was using the conditional option to set one of two options.  I wanted to add another option that had multiple parts First thing was that I had to type the 'AND' as it wouldn't select from the list and secondly it did not save once I pressed OK.

Hi all, I'm FME newbie, though I kind of know what this thing does. I've inherited around 30 fme workbenches I need to update, as a developer I'd like to get things in the config files for different environments so I'm externalizing the props (parameters) via the Private Parameters (scripted). As I have to do this for all 30 workbenches, is there a way I can add my own custom params directly into FME that would become available as FME Parameters? Thank you

Hello everybody, I hope somebody can help me with the following challenge:I have 2 datasets/dataflows in a workbench:-1. MeldingData: One set contains registered data like roadnumber, type of animal, status, etc-2. FormData: The other set contains the pulldown menu options from the iASSET application database where the value is shown in the first dataset. The set MeldingData has colomn names like data.100003, data.100004, data.100024, etc. The number of the colomn from MeldingData matches the colomn id from FormData. I want to replace the code in MeldingData with the matching value/label from FormData, so it makes the dataset more readable.An example: the first row of MeldingData has value 05 in colomn data.100004. This means that this notification/call is made on roadnumber N373. Al the other colomns need to be processed simmilar. I attatched the workbench and an excelfil

I want to modify the attribute in the second position of an excel. I can get the schema of it and the attribute{1}.name is the actual name of the attribute. But now how do I put in a new value because attributeManager, or tester expects you to know the attribute name and I wont have that.

Hello there Is there a way we could apply the change detection but reading dynamically each orgine and revised input , because we have a large number of table to check  Thanks

Hi,I need to merge data from two tables and create third table that groups features by year (see picture below). Is there any easy way to do the task? I am stuck with this and tried FeatureMerger but no luck so far...

I'm reading in a single Access database with multiple tables that contain a common attribute, then outputting multiple Access databases via a fanout on that common attribute. It's quite a simple translation. However, I have an isolated, unrelated table that does not have this common attribute field, but I would like this table to be written (in its entirety) to each fanned out Access database. To illustrate this I'll provide an example:Input DBtable name: StateStateAreaPopulationAZ14AK25CA36 table name: RoadsStateRoad_nameLengthAZa7AKb8CAc9 table name: ContractsContract_nameDescriptionthisetcthatetc Output DBs - Fanned out by "State", but I want the Contracts table to be written in it's entirety to each.AZ.mdb - contains the "State" & "Roads" tables (with just "AZ" records), and the "Contracts" table in it's entirety.AK.

I am trying to configure a Hadoop data connection in FME Desktop 2018.1. I have installed the JDBC driver supplied by iut IT team so I no longer get a driver error bit I now get the error below. We use Kerberos security but it's not clear to me if this is supported in FME Desktop for this connection type. Is it? I use the same connection parameters as used in Oracle SQLDeveloper, which works there.The error seems very generic but any help is appreciated.Error Log:java.sql.SQLException: Could not open client transport with JDBC Uri: jdbc:hive2://ourServer.com:10000: Peer indicated failure: Unsupported mechanism type PLAINat org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.<init>(HiveConnection.java:222)at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver.connect(HiveDriver.java:107)at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcCommon.openConnection(JdbcCommon.java:467)at COM.safe.fme.jdbc.JdbcReader.openHelper(JdbcReader.java:187)

Hi, I looked at many previous questions but didn't find a good answer to solve it so I make a new question with many screenshots. My Workspace.I create 1 box between 0,0 and 100,100 and 20 random circles with a radius of 5 with a center within that box. I send all circles to a custom transformer "cutloop"(I somehow need to attach a loop within here, and maybe an expressionevaluator and tester this is the main part I need help with)My writer is a dwg with a fanout expression so if I run it as it is now I get 20 "InsideX.dwg" layers for each cut box feature.

Hello,I am using XML updater to update geodatabase metadata and it works well with single tag value.However when there are multiple tags it updates all of them with the same value.

I have a model (the pipe) that's below the ground, and a polygon (red) on the ground that I want to use to anchor the pipe model, like in this video (and second image below): https://youtu.be/W6uzB2A8T5s?t=85My (obj) 3D model has the red polygon on elevation 0 and the pipe with negative elevation. Unfortunately, when I load the fmear file, the bottom of the entire model (polygon+pipe) becomes 0, and the ground plane polygon floats in the air, which makes the placement impossible. Is there a way to push the pipe below ground? Since the app is on github I wouldn't mind trying to compile it, I just need to know what to change. For now hardcoding the offset would work too. 

Hi all,  Try adding this line in your workspace header (Menu: Tools > Edit Header). ----- FME_PROFILE_RESULT_CSV  C:\\FME\\prifile_result.csv -----  Then run. A csv file describing detailed profiling of the workspace will be created, like this image.   Today a seminor on FME was held in Tokyo as an official activity of the World Tour in Japan, Kevin@Safe told us this secret directive. He also said that a user interface such as a button will be added to Workbench for this functionality in the near future. I like this hot information very much, so would share with you!  Takashi

Hello, we are conducting a topic on BIM and GIS for our graduation project. We added the modem models in the building model that we modeled through REVIT and then added their shooting areas as a 3d sphere. In the 2-storey building, the sphere added to the modem in the ceiling appears on the base of the upper floor. This problem is also suggested by our teacher to solve the python and write a script about it. So we need to write a script that would prevent the overlay of the circles we added on the modems from the walls, but I couldn't see an example of this before, nor did I find any code written on python. I have a limited knowledge of Python, but I think we can handle it if we have a topic or an example. We will then integrate the Python script with the FME program. I'm waiting for your ideas related to the Python code that we will integrate into the model in the revision.

Everything is in the title, I have several operations on a single input dataset branching through several levels of operations. Ultimately I have some mongodb writers and python callers loading transformed data. I want to be sure that one python caller won't start before another one has ended (the first one will create documents, and the second one pushes elements into arrays within those documents).

I have a process that writes a number of text files. Just figured out how to populate an email with a number of pieces of information about each runtime, time, feature count, etc. But it's basically sending the email in parallel with the writer finishing up. I would like to have the writer trigger the email, similar to how it's described here.https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/4963/sending-mail-in-fme-desktop.htmlI can replace my TXT writer with a feature writer and write to TXT but there appears to be no fanout feature with the FeatureWriter? if that's so, is there another way to have the email kick off only after text writer completes?
