Hi there,This is a question of a general nature. I understand that parallel processing is making use of the CPU's cores to process certain grouped data. However, since the FME engines are running/licensed each based on the existing cores in the server's CPU; would the processed workspace consume an additional engine? Thanks. Lyes

Hi,I am using FME Desktop 2015.1I have created a Parameter (Choice - Single selection) and populated my pick list with the required values 10,20,30. however, when the parameter is invoked, an 'additional' blank value is also included. Is there a way which I can remove this from the selection options as I do not want someone to make this selection? Admittedly, I could build a series of downstream test to check for the non-value, but if I can avoid having to do this I would prefer to.Thanks in advance.Rob

When using a fanout on a writer and the fme server datadownload service, is it possible to get a zipfile that does not include the top level directory "dataset"?ex. Destination Fanout Directory : $(FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR) Fanout Expression: A\\file will produce a zipfile containing dataset\\A\\file and what I would like is just A\\file 

Good day, I have two tables with records that I want to join together based on the category attribute: 1.table: First attribute is the client, second the category. MAAS CA MAAS IND MAAS SWE BWL CA BWL NO BWL EE  2.table: First attribute is the cell, second the category. CA345985 CA CA290456 CA IND789345 IND SWE563843 SWE EE621984 EE NO893476 NO EE972086 EE IS856145 IS  What I would like to have as a result is to create an excel report per client. The report should only contain the cells whose category matches with the client ones in table 1. e.g. MAAS_report.xls containing: CA345985 CA290456 IND789345 SWE563843 and BWL_report.xls containing: CA345985 CA290456 NO893476 EE972086 This is only a simplified example. I would need to create these reports for hundreds of clients which all should be compared to table 2. Your help is really appreciated.

Dear FMEers,We are using the API to submit transformations and get jobs with the result when completed. This works fine but the numFeaturesOutput is always 0 even when features are written. Must be something simple but I can't find how to get this to work.Using FeatureWriters in 2016.1.And how can we put text in the Description Parameter?

hi,We are currently revamping our fme server infrastructure. We're are going from a 2 physical servers on windows with two engines on both to 4 virtual server with one engine on redhat. That's a pretty big change.We would like to compare performance before going to production with that configuration.Is there any benchmark workspace available for this?Thanks for your answers.With kind regards.Vincent.

Hello,In FME Server 2015 when I run any workspace by clicking on "Run Workspace" I get an error 500 and on the screen I see "Unknown result. No log file generated". On the other hand, if I copy the Direct URL, I open it in a browser and I enter user/password then the job is submitted without any error.The Error body looks like:Estado HTTP 500 - java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: Mon Mar 20 11:24:02 CET 2017</h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Informe de Excepción</p><p><b>mensaje</b> <u>java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: Mon Mar 20 11:24:02 CET 2017</u></p><p><b>descripción</b> <u>El servidor encontró un error interno que hizo que no pudiera rellenar este requerimiento.</u></p><p><b>excepción</b> <pre>javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.C

I am using the builtin multiprocessing function within python to launch multiple fme workspaces using FME objects. I am constrained to 7 processes at once due to FME not grabbing another available license when trying to launch the 8th process. Is there any way to use more than one license with FMEObjects?

HelloDoes anybody know of a way of setting up a multiple choice user parameter to select which source data is read. I need to have two choices where one or both options can be selected. Depending on which option is selected determines which reader is used. The user is also asked to select the location of the source data for both datasets, but a default location is also stored.Hope the above makes sense.Thanks

Is there a way to use an Attribute List parameter when specifying parameters to join on in a featureMerger? I am creating a custom transformer that uses a featureMerger, and I am trying to make it possible to select a variable amount of attributes as a parameter that would also be used for the merging. I have both tried to find a way to use it directly in the featureMerger and tried to split the list into multiple attributes, but without success.I would assume that allowing a variable amount of attribute names as a parameter in a custom transformer would be a common usecase, so it seems a bit strange to not be able to use them in a featureMerger.

how can I set the workespaceRunner parameter to my FME Desktop path because when i set that attribute the parameters and values aren't show anymore.Regasts

I just created what is going to be our department's first production FME workspace. Before moving from test to production, however, I would like to know if there is anything I can do to reduce the resources and time it takes to run this simple workspace.   This is the workspace:  

I would like to set a user parameter so that when I run the workspace, I will get a prompt giving me a dropdown list to choose different attribute values. For example, I have a shapfile for municipal boundaries, and there is one attribute called MUNI_Name. Under this MUNI_Name, there are different minicipalities. I would like the dropdown list to show those different municipal values so that I can choose one. Is this possile?

I try to read a csv-file, that contains geometries in wkt as well as attributes and want to convert these in a shapefile.The first two lines look as follows:WKT,fid,objectid,y,bt_nummer,flaeche_qm,name_stat_,x,shape_area,shape_len MultiPolygon(((4469285.3 5337544.1, 4469292.1 5337435.9, 4469311.4 5337437.0))),1,10,5336470.71,12.4,1297528.91423,Münchener Freiheit,4469371.47,,(note that I have shortened and cut the vertices)There are two problems arising:The inspector doesn't show the attributes at allThe shapefile writer (connected directly) gives only empty - but correctly named - columns in the attribute tableWhat am I missing?

Hi, I have a attribute field that contains decimal values. Eg: 84.2, 86.0, 85.1, 95.3, 94.3, 106.6.I would like to create a new attribute field with an integer value that represents the different groups based on the proximity of values. ie: The records 84.2, 86.0 and 85.1 would have each have a 1 in the new attribute field; 95.3 and 94.3 would have a 2; and 106.6 would have a 3.I can't work out the best way to do this. I tried rounding the values but that doesn't guarantee that items which should be in the same group will round to the same value.Any advice?I am using FME Desktop 2016.Thanks

HiI have a simple spreadsheet that has a month column in text ie January, February.How do i convert this to a number?

Hi,I would like to define a private parameter based on a publish parameter. My idea is to use a python script that should return the desired private parameter.import fmeobjectsif (FME_MacroValues['publih_parameter'] == 'val'): private_parameter='val_'elif (FME_MacroValues['publih_parameter'] == 'wal'): private_parameter='wal_'else: private_parameter='zal_'return private_parameterBut this is not working. Any ideas?Thanks

Hi - I'm attempting to load the Ordnance Survey Addressbase csv files into an MSSQL database and get the above error message, with subsequent FME stops working error messages.It has successfully read and written over 43 million records, but then seems to fall at this hurdle whilst trying to Optimise Memory UsageAm I simply running out of local storage for Temporary files ?Or is it more complicated than that ?Has anyone successfully managed to use FME to load GB wide Addressbase Premium into a MSSQL database ?Thanks,Bruce

Hi ! I have a simple process to query a SQL Server database, create a json, then pass each feature to a python script.My issue is that the JSON Templater's ram usage grows and grows, storing features even when they have already been passed to python (up to 64Go for about 300000 lines).How can I split my features stream, in order to work with n-sized batches (e.g. take the first 20 000 features, run the json templater and python, free any ram usage, and then take the 20 000 next features to do the same thing.)
