Greetings all, Does anyone know if it's possible to expose IPTC metadata tags in JPGs (eg photos) using FME ? Specifically I'm trying to expose the Keyword metadata tag which may contain null or an unlimited number of keywords. ............. If this is not currently possible using FME and someone from Safe is reading this, could this functionality pleased be added ? (it's noted that EXIF metadata tags CAN be exposed). Ideally if keywords could be added as a List attribute ie each keyword seperated by a comma (for example) that would be fantastic. ................................... Regards Howard L'

I have a web service that I want to access with FME. How can I do that? There is something about REST and OAUTH and such. help?

I am still getting the error code from the server was '1000' and the message was: 'String or binary data would be truncated, when I try to delete or insert records into AGOL from my Writer. My Reader, Writer and AGOL field sizes all match. I have not changed the data type for any of the values. I am truncating to the field sizes. Not sure how to debug what is erroring off during the write to AGOL.

I have a fancy Python script running in my PythonCaller, but I want to use a "Group By" logic to process my features. I'd rather not have to manually split my features and plop down a PythonCaller for each separate stream. Is there an easy way to do this within the Python script? Or any way??

Hi @takashi, I was using your method of importing an external startup & shutdown python scripts instead of typing them directly into the fme. However, I have a Global variable in the startup python which is used in the shutdown script but the Global variable is not recognised when the startup & shutdown python is imported as external scripts. eg.import sys sys.path.append('D:/Scripts') import StartupPython

I am using two HTML Report Generator and then combining both with HTML Layouter, after the HTML Layouter using Logger, i am not able to see "fme_basename" value hence my writer is not able to use "fme_basename" value in Fanout Expression.Attaching screenshot for more clarity.

How and why are these created when they aren't visible? Like:Type Count fme_feature_type 0 fme_geometry 0 fme_type 0 QA_Camera pos. 0 QA_Clock position of obs. 0 QA_Comments 0 QA_CP value 0 QA_Date of Observation 100 QA_Depth extra points 0! Resend regardsandre

Hi Tia,I try to follow your post about "Sharing Published Parameters', then at step 3 Add the Writers, I cannot find where to "Set the CSV File Definition", did I missing something? Thank you and sorry to ask basic question.

Hi,  I am facing a problem with the FeatureWriter Transformer using ESRI Geodatabase ArcSDE GeoDB or File GeoDB. It seems unable to use dynamic schema definitions whenever I use the 'Use Existing' or 'Truncate Existing' modes for Table handling.  With the following workbench, I have one fatal error like the following: "Geodatabase Writer: Feature Class or Table 'd_y_n' must exists when Table Handling is set to 'Use Existing'.". I am using FME 20180430 build 18305 under MS Windows 7 64 bits. Here is the workbench (features are read from a FeatureReader):Here is the featureWriter configuration: I really want to be sure that the table structure is left untouched by FME, that's why I am using 'Use Existing' or 'Truncate Existing' mode. If I use 'Create If Needed', it does work!  If I use any other Writer than ESRI Geodatabase (like shape, GPKG, GeoJSON), there is no problem and data are correctly written with 'Use E

Hi, I'm running a modified version of Dmitri Bagh's LAS to DEM template (https://hub.safe.com/templates/las-to-dem), as I am generating hillsides (and other LAS based rasters) from approximately 2700 LAS files. While this works great when feeding one LAS file at a time in, when batching the process using the Batch Deploy wizard, it becomes very inefficient.The workspace by default will load all 2700 potential surrounding LAS files to the tile I'm working on, buffer, select only the data it needs, and then run. When batching it, it will load the 2700 LAS files to memory each iteration. This iterates 2700 times. Not the best method to do this.Is there any way to run this in such a fashion that it only loads the LAS dataset once, then loops through the dataset one LAS tile at a time, and processes that? I've tried modifying this to use the WorkspaceRunner (and take advantage of parallel processing), but everything I've tried runs into it reloading the whole dataset e

Hello. I created a user parameter to select the separator in the CSV reader. I linked the user parameter to the separator field in the CSV reader and it works. But I do not know how to write TAB as a separator into user parameter. I tried \\t, ^I, <control>, <u0009> and so on. Can someone tell me?

Hi,Background: I want to retrieve the File name of several files in a Folder. A have a Workspace that work, but it is way too slow. At the moment I´m using a FeatureReader to fetch a new "path_rootname" or "fme_basename". I´m sure there´s a couple of more clever ways to achieve this. Finding the Folder isn´t an issue, but I don´t know how to fetch the File names in any other way. A got a tip to try use "Published Parameters", without any luck. I have checked Guides from FME, but I can´t get my head around how to use "Published Parameters". Probably just need a gentle push in the right direction.Please see attached Files. How the workspace look today & what it produces:Regards,//Daniel
