Authoring

Hi,I am using the 64bit version of FME 2017.0.  In my workspace I am writing to an Oracle Spatial Database. I have 64 bit versions of Python and Oracle instant_client installed.At the end of the running the workspace after the TRANSLATION SUCCESSFUL message I receive the following error message (repeated 3 times) Traceback (most recent call last):    File "C:\Apps\FME4\/python\fmesite.py", line 6, in <module> from fmeobjects import FMESessionImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.Any suggestions as to what is causing this?

Hi everyone,I am having trouble with downloading SDF output as a data download service.The workspace itself is really simple:- 1 SDF reader, reading a file containing 10 features;- 1 transformer;- 1 SDF writer, creating a file containing 10 features.  When this process is executed from the FME Server environment as a job submitter service, there is no problem. When the same is executed as a data download service, I can see in the log that 10 features are written. The download link also shows the output .sdf file, but it contains 0 features in data inspector (instead of 10). When we write to e.g. shapefile as a download service, there is no problem.   So, to summarize, it appears to be impossible to use SDF files in a data download service?   I know it has worked before, so I am wondering if anyone had the same problem? Suggestions how to solve this?  Thanks in advance!

Hello,I am trying to authorize a web connection to my Dropbox account on FME Server so that a file can be incrementally uploaded.In the Dropbox Developer portal, I created an app where I got my client id and client secret. As for my Redirect URI, I tried using http since my server is behind my network’s firewall, but it only let me use https. In my FME Server’s Web Connections, I updated my client information to match what my Dropbox app had. When I tried to authorize it, I got an error saying the site could not be reached.Is it because my URI is incorrect, and/or if there are other configurations that need to be done? My colleague mentioned that maybe we have to make the server public. I am not sure. Thanks!

FME Server: 2015.0 bld 15250  Occasionaly when I publish workbenches to FME Sever (which run fine from workbench) I get a failure and upon investigation in the log see this error once or twice:  Creator_CREATED Feature Counter -1 3(TeeFactory): Creator_CREATED Feature Counter -1 3: @LogCount: Cannot save feature. Either function was missing appropriate configuration line or a FFS writer initialization failed The error does not appear to be down to the workbench as sometimes a reboot of fme server, and then republish the workbench sees the error go away without me (apparentely) changing anything in the workbench.  This is fine on our sandpit box, but not so good on production.  Has anyone come accross this issue?  I've had a search of the support docs and didn't spot anything.  We're running server with active directory authentication on.  Any pointers would be much appreciated.  Nick

Hi, I am working in FME 2014. I am trying to create a workspace that will have a reader grab all xls files from one folder (with multiple schemas), re-project the xy coordinates to two new attributes (x, y), and export the data to multiple xls files based on file name and new projection. Before the workspace is run, the user must manipulate the xls files to have columns with original coordinate system and original x and y coordinates. The headings "Original_Coordinate_System" and "SourceX" and "SourceY" are the only common column names between all the excel files. When I run the workspace I get an error saying "Error fetching dynamic schema definitions from reader `XLSXR_1"Attached are two xls worksheets as an example, and two screenshots to show a portion of the script.Would anyone have any suggestions that I could try? Thanks in advance.

I have a template geometry (tree.dae) and like to copy them to different locations. The locations are given with points (x, y, z) including a scale factor as an attribute in a shapefile. My idea was to move the template geometry with "Offsetter" and the parameters from the point geometries. How can I manage that in an FME workbench? I couldn't find a transformer for that until now... Thank you for your feedback.

Hello all, I've been pointed into the direction of FME by someone on Reddit with the below query. Is anyone able to help me achieve this output of multiple KML files with a workflow in FME Desktop...I've been provided with the location of a solar farm to fly over with my drone and a thermal camera. The CAD drawing of the solar farm has been geo-referenced and sliced into a tile layer: http://abovesurveying.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Spriggs%20Farm%20v2_Thaxted_CAD/{z}/{x}/{y}.pngI have an app on the iPad that controls the drone that will point it north as a constant heading and fly from end to end of the solar panels. This is all achieved by uploading a KML file to the app. At the moment I manually create the KML files with LineString coordinates limited to 1.80 kilometers or 99 waypoints (whichever comes first). This is going to be extremely time consuming. So....I have created three different KML files which are attached:Launch locations. These will be different locat

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?
