Hi I have used Directory and File Pathnames to get the latest file name from a directory containing a list csv files.I then try to pass the fme attribute path_windows to a FeatureReader to read the csv file (see attached). However this is not working. When I click on Preview, I expect to get a preview of the csv data. Also, it doesn't output the data from FeatureReader when I run it.Any ideas

I am using an attribute creator that is given a List of coordinate. From that list i want the last x value( or the second to last in my example). How do I do it?In this picture I have tried calculating the number of elements in the list with a list element counter and then i simply write: @Value(_indices_normal{@sub(@Value(_nbr_indices),2)}.x). However this return a sad <missing>.  I haven't been able to find anything in the tutorial: Tutorial: Working with List Attributes or the links provided in it about this specific problem. The closest to an answer that I've found is this lecture slide show: list-manipulation-in-fme.

I am using a chopper to extract vertices from lines. I want to get the order of these vertices for each line and have that stored in an attribute that I would like to copy to a csv along with the coordinates. I was able to get the coordinates but not the vertex order. What is the work around for this?

Watch out for this gotcha if you're using a FeatureReader on formats like Microsoft SQL Server: You can specify a Where Clause as part of the SQL Server Reader parameters, AND in the FeatureReader Parameters as well. This creates the possibility that one Where Clause will conflict with the other as in the example below. The Where Clause in the FeatureReader parameters appears to override the one in the SQL Server Reader parameters. So if you're wondering why the wrong number of features are coming out of the FeatureReader, check the Where Clauses...

Mark2AtSafeHi Mark Hope you can help me out with questions in regards.1) I am using arcgis and FME 20182) In FME, I am trying to do an analysis and results output I would like to have the destination attribute fields based on Multiple source featureless. So I am flowing the same method used in the below article. “I have following this https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/33838/dynamic-workflows-destination-schema-derived-from.html” I am not able to get this working.3) I have got two parts to achieve :a) I want the results of output to be split in different folders – example from featureclass B on the attribute value field "E" -I managed to do this by fanout @ value C b) I want the results of the multiple feature class to have the specific attribute in the output and I wanted to remove some of the unwanted fields – Example : FClass A with attributes A,B,C & CLASS B (D,E,F,G) The output results of special selection with criteria class A & to have the attributes value(

I am trying to run FME workbench with input and output file destination and directory. This workbench is copying file from one directory and pasting in another directory.I tried with different methods of IFMEStringArray but doesn't seem to work and I can't find documentation on the internet. IFMESession createSession = COM.safe.fmeobjects.FMEObjects.createSession(); IFMEWorkspaceRunner createWorkspaceRunner = createSession.createWorkspaceRunner(); IFMEStringArray createStringArray = createSession.createStringArray(); createStringArray.append("C:\\\\test\\\\test.csv"); createStringArray.append("C:\\\\test2"); createWorkspaceRunner.runWithParameters("C:\\\\test\\\\Initialization_VIC_DataSet.fmw", createStringArray);Above is my code. Can someone please help?

I have created schedules / tasks in Windows Task Scheduler and specified for them to 'Run whether user is logged on or not'. They run without issue in FME Workbench, or if I set the schedule / task to 'Run only when user is logged on'. What's going on here?I looked at the workspace log and it contains errors connecting to the database similar to below, but I have verified that my credentials are correct:38. 2016-10-05 10:00:58| 1.8| 0.0|INFORM|Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Read 1 DEF line(s).

This question is related to this earlier post on handling several CSV files output to the server shared data directory: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/79707/fme-cloud-workflow-for-moving-media-zip-files-betw.html@GerhardAtSafe has greatly helped me with several aspects and I'm continuing to research and learn what I can, but I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to handle multiple CSV files output to a single directory under the shared data directory on server. Not all the CSV files will be written on the scheduled jobs, and the number of separate CSVs that could be written is between 0-23 files. These are output from a series of jobs that run on a weekly schedule to update tables in a PostGIS database.I want to use these CSV files to trigger a job which parses media pulls from an S3 bucket, zips that up and pushes to another S3 bucket or UNC path. The problem I'm struggling with is how to read each of these CSV files individually in order to select the correct

I am having a problem lately with DB connection issues. I tried looking for cases related to "QSConnectionLostConnection" but this seems to be undocumented. There's 2 scenarios where this issue occurs. I'm not sure if they're related but they share some commonalities:They seem to only occurr on the secondary server host, "alttrans02".They occur at different points of the translation.The problem is gone when re-running the translation. 1. Reading from DB: Please refer to job_20627 and job_21289 logs.These end in failure but under FME Server console, it's still "running" and I have to manually cancel them. If the job is still "running" and I rerun the translation, the second job also fails at the same spot in the translation and ends up in the same "running" status.I only have server logs for the second job - please see ALTTRANS01_fmeserver_2018-09-27_064438.2. Writing to DB: Please refer to job_20836 log.EnvironmentFME Wo

I get the following error when trying to add a named connection in FME 2016.1.2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 The Java library 'jvm' could not be located or loaded. Ensure Java has been installed through the FME installer to FME_HOME/jre and re-install FME if necessary.I do not get the error on FME 2018, but I need to use FME 2016.Does anyone know what the solution might be?

I need to update 5184 rows in a Postgres table. These lines have a code and this code is linked directly to another table that uses this code. What would be the best way to update table 1 and after this update, update table 2 using the code I updated in table 1?Thank you

Can I configure multiple Datum shifts (both CANADA US) in same machine at different engines for FME server?

FME Desktop 2017.1 build17725When I create a simple Dynamic Workflow from shape to shape, everything works fine.When I put the BulkAttributeRenamer to the Workspace, the results are weird.I like to have all attribute names lowercase.Instead, attribute names remain capital, but all my data is lost in the output...Is that a known issue?

Hi There,I have recently upgraded to FME 2018 and am having some issues connecting to an Oracle database. I am running Windows 10 and have tried both FME 2018.1 (Beta) and FME 2018.0 and not any luck.I have recently acquired a new machine so I have had to set up everything from scratch. These are the steps I have completed:Downloaded and installed Oracle Instant Client 12.2. Unzipped and extracted to C:\\oracle\\instant_client_12_2Added folder as above to system PATH environment variableSet up tnsnames.ora file (this isn't essential, but I tried since I had no luck using the service name or easy connect string): Added tnsnames.ora to same folder as aboveAdded TNS_ADMIN system environment variable, set to the same folderTested my connection via: ping - ping hostnameMcTnsping - ping tns connection and easy connection stringOracle SQL developer - tested connecting via basic connection and tnsToad - tested basic connection and tnsIn all cases everything looked good and appeared to work

Hi there,Here's a sample of what my data looks like:GroupTypeAxAxAxABxBCxCxCDDI need to know what the percentage "x" distribution is per Group. A = 75%B = 50%C = 66.66%D = 0%I was thinking of using a counter grouped by "Group" (If that is possible?) and then using perhaps a expressionevaluator to calculate it, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.Any ideas?

Hi, I need to do my own precise geographic transformation. I use CSMap Reprojector and custom definition in .fme file. I use EUREF transformation to check the accuracy of the results. I enter the parameters according to the following document http://etrs89.ensg.ign.fr/pub/EUREF-TN-1.pdf. If I try the transformation where the rotation paramets are zero (for example ITRF 2000 to ETRF 2000 in epoch 1989.0), the result is OK. But if I use non-zero rotational parameters. As shown above. The result differs from EUREF.Does anyone advise me what I'm doing wrong? Lukas

In a custom transformer I have to use a published parameter in a couple of places. The parameter is passed from the Main workspace. I inspected with loggers and I realised that the value is present at the beginning of the custom transformer workflow but when proceeding along it gets wiped out ( I don't know what causes this, as far as I knew published parameters are read-only).

Hello  I see this missing Linked Custom Transformer error when I opened the workspace in PROD FME server. But this transformer is already present in Shared resources folder. I tried to add in workspace and other options, but was unable to add the custom transformer.I also have last save info. We didn't upgrade FME version. It's the same version before this error and at the time of this error.LAST_SAVE_BUILD="FME(R) 2015.1.3.2 (20160108 - Build 15575 - WIN32)Please advise.

I have several SQL executors spread across a large number of workbenches which I am now moving from the the Development to the Production environment, for this reason I have to change (hopefully in a clever way) the connection strings for every SQL transformer. In order to make it easy and only have to change one parameter I am trying to make the DB connection as a published parameter. There is a parameter text called "Environment" that can either be "development" or "production" this is in turn liked to a conditional value for the parameter "db connection" that should tell the SQL transformer (i.e. SQLExecutor, SQLCreator, etc) which db connection to open. In order to do it I followed the example shown in this answer:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/34324/database-connection-as-publish-parameter-of-a-cust.htmlUnfortunately the mechanism does not work, when the workflow hits the conditional value FME (both server and desktop) instead of readi

Dear everyone, I am heading to build a automatic user registration process for new users. Please help me by providing FME documents how to do that. I will have a new web page and new users will request for registrations by proving their user name , email and password, then they will receive one reply link in their provided email and by clicking on that link their credentials will be stored inside database and their account will be activated. Be aware, we will use activedirectory for storing our users. Please provide me some hints and documents for this solution.With kind RegardsMuqit
