I have a template that I call and run with parameters but one of the parameters can be like this "something - else", but it only read "something", I need the whole word. any ideas?Thanks

Every once and a while our controller workspace is unable to run because it: "Failed to access FME Server web connection" . This web connection is the user name and password used in the FME Server Job Submitter transformer. This connection is a stored web connection on FME Server.Can you provide any insight to why this might be?

I have created a shared resource directory (named PROJ) based on this article.I'm using it in a (type: text) private parameter (named SHAREDRESOURCE_PROJ) as I would do with an FME parameter :$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_PROJ)\TemplatesAnd I access that parameter from a number of scripted private parameters like this:import fmetemplateA = fme.macroValues[‘SHAREDRESOURCE_PROJ’] + '/templateA.ini'return templateAWhen executing my workspace from FME Server it throws the error ' failed to evaluate Python script'.If I replace $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_PROJ) with the actual path to the folder it works so the problem is the resource directory parameter, but I don't want to use the hardcoded path.What am I doing wrong?

Hi! Is there a way to copy envelop parameters of a FR to another one?Because we can edit the first one, copy the Minimum X, then paste to the second one and do it third times again, but................ If anyone as the key, i would appreciate !!

I find that GLTF has too few formatting properties, and a lot of things get lost.The very important globalId property I need to add to GLTF

Hi there - I am now to the FME software, so please bear with me! I am running the SnakeGrid Projector, converting ECW files from OS Grid to Rail Project SnakeGrid. I have run a batch of files, but the output files aren't the same filename as the input source filenames. I can't see identify the filenames from the source filename. Can somebody please help Workspace looks like thisThanks for your assistance.Tom

I have defined a custom transformer, and it is outputting more attributes than what I want. I just want to output these two attributes (network_id and lower_network_id): But when using it in the main workbench, it is also outputting attributes from the original input features: I assume this is is because they automatically propagate all source attributes forward, but I want to avoid this, I just want the two-column list. How can I achieve this?

I have a workflow where I need to use the featureReader to read in some data. The dataset parameter is an attribute containing a wildcard character in the path.  Is there any way of determining the actual file a feature belongs to, as the fme_dataset attribute does not seem to be present on the feature (it's not a matter of exposing it, it's not there to be exposed).

Has described in the article job priority is no more supported. I've migrated to fme server 2018.1.0.3 and dekstop too. I have upgraded FMEServerJobSubmitters but in advanced settings of the transformer I find Job priority ... 100 . Why? I can't delete the value and if I run my jobs I find warning in fmeserver.log:WARN RequestHandler-Thread 404636 : Job 1801 specifies a priority, but job priority is no longer supported. Use job queue priority instead. Please see: http://fme.ly/KB72058 How to fix warning and my workbench? Thank you

I have 2 records with identical attribute values except for one field (FeatureID). How can I merge the records but create a list from the FeatureID. The result should be highlighted on the attached picture

I have a large dataset in an Intergraph Geomedia SQL Server feature class that is a compound feature class. It is a combination of line and area features, but I only want the area features. Because of the size of the dataset, I would like to get the database to do the work separating the two as it reads in the data (not using a GeometryFilter on the canvas). To do this, I'm trying to use a WHERE clause on the reader that only selects a certain geometry type from an exposed Format attribute ("fme_geometry" = 'fme_polygon'). But this isn't working. I've been successful with a similar WHERE clause on a User attribute, but can't get any results with the Format attribute.Is it even possible to use a WHERE clause on a Format attribute?

Hi all!  I need the adjacent feature within a loop but I get the error that Attribute Manager is a blocking transformer and therefore it won't work. I use blocking transformers in linked custom transformers all the time and it works fine. Is there a particular reason that you can't use the Attribute Manager within a loop?   Thanks!

Is it possible for the FMEServerJobSubmitter to also work against DataDownloadservice? Or is the only option to use the REST-api and "hardcode" your own custom transformer?I would submit the job in async-mode and wait for it to generate the files for Download. It complains about: `Undefined macro `FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR' dereferenced in file `XXX\YYY.fmw''

I have a huge shape file which contains whole country data. i have one more file which contains a boundary. for example we can say zipcode boundary. i wnated to write the features falling inside this boundary.FMe's fearure merger or area overlayer reads all the features and checks with the boundary if it is intersects or not. this process takes too long. I need some kind of mechanism which will read only the features which is near (buffer) to the boundary. or any kind... or method. reading whole country data is not recommended rught? How can we process fast ?can anyone from the team help me?

I've found an odd quirk with FME Server.When I remove " from a file path on an FME workbench when it's uploaded to the server, the guest role will be able to run the work bench but the admin role won't be able to. This also occurs vice versa when adding " it works for the admin role but not for the guest role.I am using a direct link to run the workbench but this bug occurs without using the direct link to.My question is is this intentional or a bug?Server verison: FME Server 2018.1 - Build 18520 - win64   

 Dear everyone, I have an shutdown python scripts which basically sends email to admin after one datadownload has been succeed or failed. My existing py script is as follows: I now want to impose one "if" condition before email generate, if my user name is "A" and email is "A@nnn.com" then email will not generate.. I have ended my script as follows but it did not work, FME server shows me error. if nutzer != 'A' AND user_mail != 'A@nnn.com':   smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP(smtpServerAdress,smtpPort)  smtpserver.ehlo()  smtpserver.starttls()  smtpserver.ehlo  smtpserver.sendmail(emailFrom, emailTo, msg.as_string())  smtpserver.close()  ............... Did I have done some mistakes?  And another issue is, I want to also store the result inside sql server DB , how i can write the right script before'send mail?  ThanksMuqit

Hi folks,  I have a main workspace that calls a bunch of data validation workspace, my 'child' workspaces. All child workspaces have exactly the same published parameters (values may be different of course). In the main workspace each feature has a parameter WsName with the full name of the child workspace that needs to be called.  When I use a WorkspaceRunner and set the parameter 'FME Workspace' to the WsName (rather than actually selecting a workspace), I cannot specify any parameters to pass on to the workspace. Is there any way to overwrite this and specify them anyway programmatically?  I am aware that I could use a PythonCaller to run the child workspaces and pass whatever parameters, as explained on https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/Samples_and_Demos/Run-an-FME-Workspace-from-Python-using-FMEWorkspaceRunner however, for reasons of controlling the flow of workspaces that are called I prefer to use a WorkspaceRunner, not a PythonCaller.   Thanks, Joep

Hi, I've created some published parameters for some tranformers, I used Choice with Alias for all parameters and they all have same set of aliases. For example, choice "2000" represents 576 of rows and columns in Tiler and represents E of attribute value of AttributeCreator. Every time I ran the workbench I have to set every published parameter into 2000.I'm wondering if I can create a universal published parameter of these published parameters, so I only need to choose one time every time I run the workbench.@takashi @DaveAtSafe @david_r @jdh @Mark2AtSafe

Hi,everybody ,I use the fmeobject4net to process a bit data,and use the c# samples priject code,then some log info is unrecognition charact .the code and the debug info as follow: FMEO_LogCallbackFunc viewInitialized = new FMEO_LogCallbackFunc(LogCallBack);fmelogfile.SetCallBack(viewInitialized); public void LogCallBack(FMEOMessageLevel severity, String message){ // Following code to ensure thread safety to avoid the// InvalidOperationException thrown by VS// string str = ParseChCodeString(message);if (this.txtlogbox.InvokeRequired){Invoke(new FMEO_LogCallbackFunc(LogCallBack),FMEOMessageLevel.Inform,message);}else{ txtlogbox.AppendText(message + Environment.NewLine);}} and the output loginfo in my app as follow: and i open the log file, it is right as folow :  how to resolve the problem?

Dear FME community.I would like to load files from my GDrive with the transformer GoogleDriveConnector.I'm ok for load 1 folder by 1 folder, but it is possible to load many folders with 1 transformer ?This is my configuration :Thank you very much.

Dear FME community. I need to make a process in a workbench.In this process I've to write few data in Postgres table and I've to read this data for continu the process.For this I thought to use a FeatureWriter and a FeatureWriter with a connection, but the problem is the FeatureReader read x time all the data of the table than the number of insertion in the table from FeatureWriter.Do you know how can I do that ?Thanks.

Is it possible to read in a table like the one below, and use FME to publish the event to a calendar in Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Server? EventDateStart TimeEnd TimeA Cool Event12/05/201811:00 AM1:00 PM 

I am trying to use the MSWordStyler with the Content Type of List Item and keep receiving the following error:Microsoft Word Writer: Rejecting Feature. The msword_type value 'msword_bullet' is invalid. Please use a MSWordStyler prior to this writer to set the msword_type attribute I can successfully use the MSWordStyler with other content types and write to a word document though. It appears to only happen when using an existing MS Word template. FME Desktop 2018.1.0.3 64bit

Hi!I want to feed a series of workspaces into WorkSpaceRunner to be run in consecutive order. Most important is that the first one runs successfully to completion before the next one starts. Else the process should stop.They are all part of a weekly update routine, but I want to keep each workspace separate, in order to be able to run them separately at other times.I am not able to figure out how to use WorkspaceRunner for this, despite careful perusal of this forum. The part I do not understand is how to hold workspace 2 until nr 1 gives a go signal.Thanks, Mats.E

Building an xml with XMLTemplater transformer, some attributes are lists where some element may not exist.For example, I have contact information for 3 organizations and some may not have an individual name:contact{0}.CI_ResponsibleParty.organisationName.CharacterString contact{0}.CI_ResponsibleParty.individualName.CharacterString contact{0}.CI_ResponsibleParty.contactInfo.CI_Contact.phone.CI_Telephone.voice.CharacterString contact{1}.CI_ResponsibleParty.organisationName.CharacterString contact{1}.CI_ResponsibleParty.contactInfo.CI_Contact.phone.CI_Telephone.voice.CharacterString contact{2}.CI_ResponsibleParty.organisationName.CharacterString contact{2}.CI_ResponsibleParty.individualName.CharacterString contact{2}.CI_ResponsibleParty.contactInfo.CI_Contact.phone.CI_Telephone.voice.CharacterString To populate the xml with a contact block for each organization I do this:{ let $individualName := fme:get-list-attribute("contact{}.CI_ResponsibleParty.individualName.CharacterString&quot
