I seem to be getting the same issue as described here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/22427/fme-error-failed-to-validate-fme-worker-licence-keyAfter the same amount of time I get "Failed to validate FME worker licence key" - after approx processing 1 000 000 objects. I need parallell processing due to the size of the data, I have tried Aggressive only, and also Extreme. Below is a screenshot showing part of the process. The Parallell runs in Parallell (:)).After approx 1hour 20 minutes the logfile fills with "Failed to validate FME worker licence key" and the fmeworker.exe gets stuck with no work done (0.01 percent CPU constantly). I use FME 2016.1 - floating license - Oracle Edition. Also tried on FME 2017 - same issue@Mark2AtSafe

Hi,We currently have a FME Server 2017.1.1 install on our cloud (AWS), we want to install an FME Engine inside a customer network to allow access protected resources like databases, files etc. Reading about we need to connect the remote engine to:1. FME DataBase: We have our FME database on Amazon RDS, so i can give access to the engine to allow connect to the database, this is fine.2. FME Core: To allow connections to the FME Core, FME engine needs access FME Core using the ports 7069-7072 and 7100-7150 and FME Core needs access FME Engine using the ports 7500, I can add the proper permissions on the servcurity group, so this point is ok.3. FME Server System Share: We are using Amazon EFS for FME System Share, external access to EFS is not allowed unless we implement AWS Direct Connect. We do not want to connect our custome

Hi,We are using pyfme.I'm profiling a workspace using the technique described here: Profiling a workspace.However, my workspace has a lot of python created factories and my results looks like this:If I take the first one "f_151" there is no trace of that name neither in the log or the fmw file.My question: Is there any way to create my python factories (FMEFactoryPileline) to have something more talking than "f_151"?Thanks,Larry

Hi,I have a FME 2016.1 workbench that contains a Custom Loop transformer and within that I also have a PythonCaller with some Python Code.The workbench outputs the expected result but it takes over an hour to run. I need it to run ideally in less than 20 minutes.I have attached some screen shots of the main workbench and the custom transformer. Does anyone have ideas on things I could do to speed this up?Thanks,

Hello,I'm trying to use an external python library, Paramiko to perform some SFTP functionality. I am attempting to use a PythonCaller to run some python that I know works outside of FME. I have python 2.7x64bit installed. I'm running FME 2017.1x64 bit. My python interpreter is set as below:Here is the PythonCaller configuration:Here is the python script:And here is the error:I'm sure i'm goofing up something simple. Thank you for your help!

HI i am having trouble with feature reader in 2017 in that the WHERE clause is not interacting well with the spatial filter envelope query. If i run either in isolation then the process works but together the work bench fails to run.feature reader is version 9, fme 2017 version is 2017.1.1.0 (build 17650 - win32)is anyone else have this issue? i cannot run the where clause in a tester after the feature reader due to the amount of data been extracted. we really need to extract to extents and not the entire data base.any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,I've been given a set of 20+ MapInfo tables, of which most have a period (.) in the file names.I need to convert these tables into MS/SQL, but this presents a problem, since periods are no-go in MS/SQL, and I need to control the schema.I'm trying to write using a dynamic writer, but I simply cannot figure out the combination of parameters, that'll allow me to replace the periods with underscores before writing into the database. No matter what I do, I loose the connection to the "schema", and nothing gets converted.Please help me out. This ought to be a no-brainer, but I'm stumped.Cheers.

Hi there,I have a translation between Microstation DGN files and AutoCAD DWG files where there can be as many as 6000 files at a time, but I'm encountering memory resource issues. I want to avoid splitting this translation into a child process with a WorkspaceRunner or JobSubmitter where it will process 1 file at a time.I'm using FeatureReader-DGN and tried with FeatureWriter-DWG / DWG Writer. FME_TEMP points to a 2 TB drive and the translation accumulated 350 GB of temp files like these before crashing with another TB free: FME_OBJC_MultiWriter_1518629821107_13172_1 ... FME_OBJC_MultiWriter_1518629821107_13172_235Virtual memory is set to automatic paging on the same driveI have 16 GB RAMDGN file sizes range from 13 KB to 29 MBFME 2016.1.3.2 #16717 WIN64FME seems to accumulate all the features from all the files before it writes out a single feature to a physical file.

Hello all, I have a pythonCaller in my script where I am populating an array with all the attribute names from the feature test_fields = feature.getAllAttributeNames()how do I go about excluding any fme generated features (example: fme_feature_type). I can't quite work out the syntax. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks  

We have a nightly (in theory) workbench that is transferring data from a SQL Spatial Server into multiple shapefiles (~150). I would say 1 out of 3 times it runs it will reach a certain point (it seems to be random, not any specific place in the workbench) and it will crash. It is always pointing to "ucrtbase.dll" though. I have investigated it fairly thoroughly and I can't pinpoint a reason it is happening. Nothing is showing in the workbench logs indicating the error.Is there a known issue with ucrtbase.dll?I do notice that this workbench uses a lot of memory, but why would it work sometimes and not others?We are using FME Desktop version 2017 on Windows 7, but it was happening in previous versions also.Crash report- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">- <System>  <

I am using feature readers to dynamically read features from a schema. The features are passed in to the FMW script in FME Server from a web interface so the feature readers don't know at design time what the features are. To write the features I'm using generic writers. The feature readers pass the schemas to the writer, which then know which attributes to write and also knows which format to write (this is passed in from the web inteface too). The name of the output feature comes from the fme_feature_type attribute.This works well for shapefile outputs, but for file base outputs like DWG and KML, the writer makes the name of the file the same name as the output folder. I am writing five features, so my output folder names are "one", "two", "three", "four", "five". When I write to shape output the file name becomes "PARCEL.shp", that is, whatever the FeatureReader reads. But for DWG and KMO the file

All: Can someone give me a push? I have a webservice with a .pb extension that I need to read. I've tried the things I thought I knew to do to read it HTTPCaller but to no avail.

I have created a linked custom transformer with a loop and a spatial filter. In this transformer I check if a line feature intersects with an area, but only if they belongs to the same group. So I thought I had to use the Group By parameter in the spatial filter. The problem is that my custom transformer does not work with the Group By parameter. I mean, if I do not define a Group By some lines pass the test (but not belongs to the same group) but if a define the Group no line passes.This is my first custom transformer, so, any suggestions would be appreciateThanks in advanceVíctor

I am totally newbee to FME. I have CSV file with all layer names and its corresponding field names and field types. There are two additional columns called destination field name and destination field type with values in them. I can read particular layer based on some calculation. The problem is I want to write the selected layer attributes like field name and destination field name into a CSV and use this csv file in schema mapping to map the fields field name -> destination field name. The input to the schema mapper is coming from feature reader which dynamically reading from esri gdb. For better understanding please look at the workflow and let me know how can I map the fields and write the data into postgis database with new field names and new structure.

My colleague and I have both an FME license. We use a workspace to bound pictures (jpg) to trackpoints from a gps (gpx) based on their time. When he runs the workspace it takes about 10 minutes for 5000 pictures. When I run the workspace it takes about 10 minutes for 100 pictures. Our pc's are both very good. Similar cpu's (i7 5930). I have 64gb ram. He has 32 gb ram. I have a nvidia quadro K4200. He has a gtx 1080.

Hi all, I'm having a hard time describing the issue I'm facing so I'll just show what output I need.I need two writers: The first writer contains POI_NAME and POI IDs. (unique values)  The second writer should output the POI IDs found in the first writer but with two additional attributes TYPE / TYPE_VALUE that can hold various strings. (Basically I have no clue on how to populate POI_ID with identical values but TYPE / TYPE_VALUE with different values)Reader:First writer: Second writer:  Thanks,Ed

Hello, would be glad to find the solution: to use comma in variable by WorkspaceRunner. For example, i have Mainprozess and subprozess. In mainprozess will be define: what IDs will be needed. And after in subprozess i Need by dataimport to Import only the data with these ID's (to Import all data takes too much time). So i need to write Comma in the WorkspaceRunner, like this: obj_id in {'1000000000000106996011','1000000000000118176003'}But this statement does not work as i needed. Do u have some ideas? Greetings, Anna

Hi all, I have two environments of FME Server: dev and prod. Based on the hostname, I want to set several parameters:FME Server connection for notificationEmail addresses are different...I do this with very simple Python scripts like:_hostname = FME_MacroValues['FME_SERVER_HOST']if _hostname == 'XXXXXXXXXXX':    FME_Connection = 'fmeserver_prod'else:    FME_Connection = 'fmeserver_dev'return FME_ConnectionThis works well on FME Server, but I cannot run this Workspace any more on Desktop. When filling in a value for FME_SERVER_HOST on Desktop, Python does not seem to be able to get to the FME_MacroValues. Anyone some advice on how to solve this?

I simply would like to set up a dyamic Reader in PostGIS that will read all the tables I select at runtime, then having a postGIS dynamic writer connected to this reader that would copy the same geometry, schema definition and data from the reader, the name of the table will be the name of the of the original table plus underscore, something like "original_table" => "original_table_".Though it seems a very simple task to accomplish I tried in many ways but I cannot get FME to do it. I tried to follow the tutorial https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1157/dynamic-workflow-tutorial-destination-schema-as-a.html but I get first a warning:Cannot find a matching schema named 'name_of_db_schema.original_table_' in the known set of schemas: 'name_of_db_schema.original_table_.
