I am looking for a way to change the server to which my SQLCreators and FeatureWriters are pointed to based on a parameter. I am not seeing a clear way to do this in FME. It is my understanding that in FME, we can use Python to dynamically set parameters or update transformers. What is the preferred way to do this? Can I update the Server property of a Database connection? Or should I change the connection property of the writers and creators?

Hello SAFE Gurus,This is just an observation but there is an annoying difference in Chrome in FME Server when compared to IE.The checkboxes in chrome, once checked move up.  Above is the Chrome snapshot, below the IE

Hi,can someone help me with the Python expression, please...I need to get a summary of "sum A" and "Sum B" wenn I write: "sum A"+"sum B" I get an result: "sum Asum B" theese "sum A" and "sum B" must be written as a string, because I get this sum from calculating a few fields.  

Hi, I'm trying to optionally switch off the Spatial checkbox in a Writer by linking to a User Parameter. There is no drop list to enable me to control the Spatial box. I've tried unsetting the Spatial Column and setting Create Spatial Index to No (both of which I can link to Parameters), but then my non-spatial data doesn't get written out.Any clues?Chris BB

Hello, I have a problem with my FME script.My goal is to create a custom transformer that does the same thing as AttributeValueMapper but by using a dynamic list off matching value.Why ? Because I have a file witch contain data that I need to clean :File "data"field_test_1 field_2 field_test_2 xxx Good morning ab xxx Hello ac xxx Salut ab zzz Bonjour ab yyy Konishiwa ac   To do this, I have a file which contain all my matching values like this :File "code_list"code value CODE_A_01 value xxx CODE_A_02 value yyy CODE_A_03 value zzz CODE_B_01 value ab CODE_B_02 value ac CODE_C_01 value xxx  My goal is to replace value in "field_test_1&quo

Hi all,We are running a license server (v11.15) with 10 floating licenses ESRI Edition.The number of users using FME Desktop are growing fast, even faster then the budget :-)Among the users there are different profiles.So we want to set up a pool of licenses per AD user group. For example:- primarly we want to create a pool of floating licenses professional edition that only members of specific Active Directory group can use- beside that we want to create a pool of floating licenses ESRI edition preserved for members of an other active directory group Is this possible? If yes, what's the configuration? Thanks for sharing the knowledge,Kind regards,Francis

I have an FME workspace "A" using a CAT reader that works well.I have another workspace calling it with a WorkspaceRunner, which goes through a bunch of files using a "Directory and File pathnames" reader.In the workspaceRunner Parameters of workspace "A" and can't select "attribute value" from the "Directory and File pathnames" reader :/I changed my workspace "A" for a plain text reader and now I can select "attribute value -> path_filename". There seems to be a bug with the CAT reader inside a WorkspaceRunner :/Am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying to read the data from an Oracle Locator database into FME. When reading data through both the Oracle Spatial Object reader and the Oracle Non-Spatial reader everything goes fine.However, with the Oracle Spatial Relational reader, I get the following errors when trying to get the table list (see image 1): The log file says the following (see image 2) Am I getting this error because I "only" have the Oracle Locator database, and not a full Oracle Spatial database? Or is the error due to missing parameter settings? To be clear, I'm using the same database connection.

Hi, I downloaded a workbench which was on FME Server to a FME 2019.1 desktop workspace but I can't get it to run due to an issue with Emailer and Python as per the message below.

Hi,  I'm using the BulkAttributeRenamer to get rid of special characters in multiple attributes using regular expression.  My expression looks something like this and initially I had no problems. <|/|\.|>|\*|ä|ö|å|\+ Suddenly my workflow didn't run anymore and I received the following errors.  An error occurred. FME will attempt to provide more information on the error, but this may cause the translation to be terminatedinvalid vector<T> subscript It seems that the problem is the symbols <, >, * and I have tried to escape them but without luck. I also find it extremely weird that it worked one moment and didn't the next.  Does anyone know of a workaround so I can get rid of these characters and symbols.  Thanks!  /Jacob

Hello,The screenshot below illustrates my solution for this question.Compare two columns (Category and Class) and detect if the Class entered is in the right Category I thought that this works fine, but found a wrong result when the comparison mode for the IN operator was set to Automatic.The result will be correct shown as following If you set Case Sensitive or Case Insensitive to the Comparison Mode, but I believe that Automatic mode must return the correct result as well.

Hi, I have a list of fmw files like this one:That I want to use to go through and extract some data or each fmw using the FME Workspace (FMW) reader.To do this, I have created a workbench “FileProperties.fmw” that takes the feature type FileProperties of a workbench using FME Workspace (FMW) reader and puts data to a csv.Then, because I want to apply this process to multiple workbenches and not just one, I have created a separate workbench "RunWorkbench.fmw" which uses a WorkspaceRunner that runs FileProperties.fmw workbench for each of the files of the list. Each line of the list is used as a variable, so FileProperties workbench analyses each fmw file in the list and extracts the data into csv.

Hi FME Server users!I've been recently playing with the FME Server API, and I've found something that I didn't expected, at least following the specs from the API technical doc: (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#), from GET : Transformations/jobs/completed section. I tried the GET capability to gather all the information regarding a specific Workspace which is run under FME Server 2016.The request states as follow:XXXX:YYYY/fmerest/v3/transformations/jobs/completed?completedState=success&limit=-1&offset=-1&repository=Built-Up%20Areas &workspace=Unnamed_Multinaming_UpdateLayerLoop_FME2016.fmw&userName=janera&fmetoken=00000000000 As you can see I opted to fill that "WORKSPACE" and "REPOSITORY" parameters, which I assumed to get information back relat

Hey folks,After some hours of Googling and of searches on this forum, I'm writing here to solve my problem. I've built a huge FME Batch to do some stuff on IFC files with some Excel readers, ACAD readers, and CommandLine. But here isn't the problem, that Batch works properly when I run it 'alone'. Here a quick overview of that Batch : Everything is ok with that Batch, but then I would like to work with a PathReader and a WorkspaceRunner in order to work with all the IFC files of a folder. So, I've set up that Batch which is really simple : With these following parameters : When I r

Hi all, I'm currently putting together what will become a generic set of workspaces to use on various different projects within my company.The workspaces will be contained within a set folder structure of Inputs/Processes/Outputs that can be copied to project folders as and when they are needed.I want to be able to define the writers to always write the outputs to the 'Output' folder, for when someone copies them for use on another project and the output destination path changes.I have created an attribute (Writer_Path), derived from fme_dataset of the inputs, to write to this Output folder, but i cant seem to set the writer path to this attribute.I feel like i might be missing something obvious in a fanout or something, but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!Jack

I have a pretty simple FME program with a reader from an ESRI geodatabase, attribute manager and writer to the same geodatabase. If I'm adding user parameters for certain attributes, the dialog box will start taking several minutes to appear, and then to edit parameters, it can take even longer. On new parameters I add, it tries to pull up lookup tables as I enter a value, but it won't do that on my other parameters. Does anyone why the user parameter dialog box would take a log time to open? Thanks.

About a week ago, FeatureWriter (Version 0, there doesn't appear to be a newer version available) in an existing workbench, no longer creates new Esri File Geodatabases on network drives/shares. The bench had not been changed between the previous run when it worked and the subsequent run when it did not.It will NOT create new GDBs on any network location, on any server, using either mapped drive letter path or full UNC path.It WILL truncate, drop/create tables in an existing GDB in the desired network location.It WILL create new ESRI SHP files or AutoCAD DWG files in the desired network location.It WILL create new GDB on a local (C:) drive.I have verified that I have create, modify, read, delete permissions to all of the tested network locations.Updated to a clean install of the newest version of FME Workbench (19.1), no change in behavior.Tried creating a brand new, empty workbench, inserting a brand new FeatureWriter to rule out

FME 2019.1.2 build 19630The Max Features to Log parameter (Workspace parameters or FME Options) doesn't seem to work. The number of logged features is always 20, regardless of setting in the parameter.

Transformers such as the matcher appear to use hidden attributes to match on when the attribute matching strategy is set to match all attributes. Is it possible to remove hidden attributes without exposing them first?

HI.I'm tasked with switching Python version for a service user without login.The setting under "FME Options" / "Translation" / "Preferred Python Interpreter" is therefore not immidiatedly available to me for this user.  I have ascertained, that this setting is both version and user dependant (but not 32/64 bit). But I've looked all over the registry for it without success. Can anyone help with this ?Cheers.Lars
