Automation

I have a workspace where I am checking to see if features exist and if not I create them. In the workspace I read one table from a database and then join it to another table in the same database (join conditions to inspections). Currently I change the name of the Database manually in the reader and rerun the entire workspace. All my database files are in the same folder but have different names. I would like to be able to run a batch process that would process each database one at a time and then move to the next. Any help is much appreciated.

I need to convert a shape file to dwg file where each layer in the shape file has to have line style or symbol according to a library in the dwg. I see that I can use dwg styler but i need to import each layer separtely ,as i have more than 60 levels ,i need to divide my file to 60 files in order to do it also it doesn't take the color for the symbol from the dwg template file.Is there a way to do it in one file?thanks in advance

I have an automation workflow (FME Server 2019) built from a number of workspaces that process an input file. The automation is triggered by a file landing in a directory (directory watch), and the data passes through the workspaces and gets loaded to the database at the end (if follows the happy path), else someone gets notified for a fail, etc. This works great for 1 file end-to-end, but when multiple files land in the directory, the first file runs through workspace A, then second file runs through workspace A,.. rather than first file runs through workspace A, then workspace B,.. completing all before second file runs. Is there a way to include this dependency? I've tried adding a merge action, but this doesn't accept it as everything is in sequence there are no parallel streams, and I'm asking it to run/continue regardless of pass or fail of workspace action.Is this possible within latest version?The reason I need one file to be processed end-to

HI, I have couple of elements in microstation DGN, there is overlap error in a element (x=105676.2218, y=64384.1729 ) . I need to remove that overlap automatically. Both elements are of type Complexshape. I tried the transformer AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner but ended up with failure . I am sending the DGN file as well as workbench. Kindly help me to resolve this issue. 

I want to get all data in the API, which I do not know what is. For example, i know that there is one package with information at this address:https://objektkatalog.geonorge.no/api/package/EAID_A408BF17_3017_41c7_BC37_D6AADDD6634B But I do not know the EAID for all packages, so I want to get everything from:https://objektkatalog.geonorge.no/api/package/ I'm currently using the httpCaller. Does someone know how to do this? Thanks a lot!

HII m trying to experiment "run a workspace in response to an incoming email, i have a problem with the IMAP configuration.although i use the template (for gmail for instance) and enter my email address and password) my automation do not work i have this message :809009 : pascal.mortz@gmail.com : Failed to connect to email server.

I'm trying to compute a CHM (canopy height model) by using the rastercellcalc transformer by having it subtract a DEM from a DSM.  The process works fine when only one DEM and DSM are passed through to the transformer at a time however I have these DEM/DSM's clipped to multiple smaller files. The CHM produced should have the same boundaries as the inputted DEM and DSM.  I've tried using the group by parameter in the transformer however it doesn't work for some reason and still tells me that the raster rows and columns don't match. See images below:The attribute manager and trimmer transformers just create a shared attribute between the correct DSM and DEM tiffs tiffs so that the rastercell transformer can do group by "Tile_name). See below:

I would to read a shapefile and .dbf present in the url http://www.sardegnageoportale.it/index.php?xsl=2425&s=325563&v=2&c=14414&t=1&tb=14401 and zippedI read that using a reader I can do it (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/Workbench/zip_files_url.htm), but I don't understand where I am wrong and I am not able to set the correct string in the reader. Please, can you help me?Thanks Max

So, I have two datasets:Linear - contains names - short linear segments in close proximity to polygonsPolygons - unnamed The goal is to conflate names from linear to polygonal. I have buffered to lines to conflate names from linear to polygonal data and it worked fine. The problem is that the linear segments are short and only capture the feature where they are located and one river can contain up to 50 individual features. All of these features (polygonal) have a unique Feature_ID but more importantly, they have a RIVER_ID. The RIVER_ID is the same for one water body (river). For example, 30 differing individual features will have the same RIVER_ID since they are representing the same river.  So, let's say that the river in question is Danube and it has 20 features. Now, only 13 of them were captured by the linear segments and are now named whilst the rest are unnamed. How can I use that RIVER_ID to transfer the name from t

In the "Automations > Manage"-list theres a column "Status", where the number of errors / warnings in the automations are listed. In FME-Server 2019.2.1 it was possible to remove those numbers by clearing the automation-logfile.In FME-Server 2020 it's not possible to clear the logfile anymore. So how can I remove the numbers of errors/warnings in the Automations-List?The "clear Log"-button has gone, but there's a new "Log action" button instead. What is this for? It doesn't seem to do anything...? Thanks, Vera

Hello everyone, Im little bit confused , or perhaps my mind is frozen.Im setting the automation for XML -> CSV file conversion. But, I cant find possibility, how to specify CSV file, which should be send as attachment. Its all because of CSV writer parameter - there is only definition of CSV export folder, not the CSV export file. Can anybody help me please?Thanks!Lubo

Trying to download multiple files using multiple URLs in PythonCaller. I couldn't use HTTPCaller due to security issues. Please suggest. Thanks

I am monitoring several directories that have multiple files in them. Whenever any file changes my automation runs. Example Directory contains the files that make up a shape file. The automation will fire for every file in the directory that changes.(5) 

I have two sets of input data.World graphic data in polygonWorld tabular data in CSV I want to add multiple tabular data in country wise graphical polygon data by putting a join on country name. The desired output will be each single polygon with multiple attribute data from CSV. I have used "Feature_Merger" & "Feature_Joiner" but the output is not as per expectations. The feature merger adds all the attributes in a list file which I am finding it difficult to write in shapefile as attribute data. The feature joiner just add polygon data to all the CSV records. Please suggest if someone has done anything in such condition. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, A customer of mine has created a lot of XSLT stylesheets which we want to apply to our XML documents. We would like to use FME for the automation part (download XML, apply stylesheet, write result and push to server). However I seem to receive an error when applying XSLT stylesheets of version 2.0. Version 1.0 stylesheets work as expected but the workflow throws an error as soon as it encounters a function that is only present in XSLT 2.0 (like lower-case or upper-case).The stylesheets that I used to test the workflow both work as expected outside of the FME workflow. Is XSLT 2.0 currently not supported? Or am I missing something?I am using FME 2020.0 - Build 20238 - WIN64.

Does anyone have experience building out a FME Server Automation with a trigger based on changes in Autodesk Vault?  I was thinking a Directory Watch would be the way to go, but my IT group doesn't seem to think a directory path exists for the files in Vault. If it matters, Vault and the files therein are stored on local servers (not on the cloud).  Any information is appreciated.

Hi everyone and thank you in advance!  I currently have a job set up on the server where data is being written to an ArcGIS Portal service from multiple outside sources using Topics/Notifications/Subscriptions. I would like to find a way to set it up to send a notification when the job runs and 0 features are written. The job does not fail when 0 features are written so I would like to find a way to notify me (probably using another topic/notification setup) when nothing is written to the service.  Let me know what you think!

How do I set the reader parameter to read the correct data directory on the server where the data is to be placed?

I want to email a file attachment but the filename is passed through a custom value:-@Value(_dataset)/litmap-@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(), %B-%d-%Y).csvWhen I enter this in the Emailer transformer it goes red as per the screenshot but I cannot see how to read the error. And also cannot see how to set mime type as text/csv  

We are uploading large zip files containing a folder structure like this, but much more folders and files in it.Folder1- file1- file 2Folder 2:-file3- file4 The upload is done with the Data Upload Service and we are using the parameter opt_extractarchive to automatically unzip all files.In a next step, a FME service will go through the unzipped file structure on the server and process these files. We have realized that FME does not process part of the uploaded files, there is always a list of files which are not processed. But with every upload, the files not processed are changing, sometimes the first 30 files are processed well and the next 25 are missing, sometimes the first 35 files are ok...Could it be that the unzip happens after the upload, and when we start the processing job, maybe not all files are unzipped yet?We have this issue only with large zip folder structures (they contain a lot of

Is there any way ?, that I can find out the subscription connected to topic. from subscription , i can see the topic name. but not other way. in my case , there are many subscriptions and topics. So from fme workbench i get topic name, but from the topic name , i cannot extract / know the subscription name

Hi,So I've been experimenting with this automation where an external application triggers a webhook and passes a message. I then filter the content by looking for the existence of a string and then trigger a topic if found and also log it. If it fails, another filter is applied and another topic is triggered and logged. And finally the same happens with another topic if all filtering fails. The goal of the log at each stage was to help in debugging but I'm finding that ALL logs are identical and that was definitely not my expectation. Shouldn't log actions only work and store data if actually triggered through a connection? Or am I misunderstanding how the new log action works? This is in FME Server 2020.1 beta. Thanks.

Hello, I need to update one parameter for all my schedules (about 300 active schedules). I'm looking for the easiest way for that. I tried to do it manually on FME configuration DB but I can see then even though parameters are updated still schedule is executed with old values. It takes effect only after editing schedule using FME Web Portal, then I can see updated value and when I click save schedule is updated. I believe that this is because of some kind of cache mechanism on fme scheduling system. So is there any way to force FME to reread values of parameters (for example by restarting some components?). Please keep in ming that I have a lot of engines on different machines. Second option that comes to my ming is to use REST API but it is not as easy as executing update script on DB. And executing script on DB has advantage that it can be a transaction so either I have all schedules updated o

I've built an Automation to run a workspace when Server receives an email containing some key text. The problem is that the email remains in the IMAP mailbox after the Automation has run, so in 5-minutes when Server polls the mailbox and finds the same piece of email, it want to run the whole thing over again. How do I make it delete the email once it has been processed?

I've come across an interesting case with a customer recently, they were trying to set up outgoing email from FME Server and while an Emailer transformer with their mail server credentials worked fine, those same credentials in e.g. the Datadownload success notification or as the system email didn't work. No error messages, just didn't do it. Any idea what causes this (or where to begin looking in the logs for a clue?)
