Update Map Image Layers in Portal via APRX

FME Hub user cratcliff just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. Description: This custom transformer is designed to streamline the process of publishing or overwriting map image layers in Enterprise Portal directly from an ArcGIS Pro Project (APRX). The transformer works by referencing the specified APRX file, generating local service definition drafts (SD drafts) for the layers in the map, and then publishing map image layers in the portal. If publishing all layers in the map to one service, the users should specify a service name. Otherwise, the transformer uses the names of the layers in the contents pane of the map. If overwriting existing map image layers, to ensure a successful update, the layers in your ArcGIS Pro project must be named exactly the same as the hosted layers you intend to update. In summary, this process automates the creation of SD drafts and uses those to publish to your portal, applying schema changes and updating data, making sure your hosted layers sta

GeoApps Dataset Truncate

FME Hub user wghmapgear just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. GeoApps Dataset Truncate With this transformer, you can easily truncate all features from an existing dataset in GeoApps. This connection is for example useful for automated updating of datasets where you first want to remove the old data. To complete a setup like this, take also a look at our other transformers. Prerequisites To use this transformer, you need to have an active GeoApps subscription and a user account with enough permissions to run the jobs. In addition, you need to first set up a web connection to GeoApps from FME. You can find the web connection in the FME Hub at https://hub.safe.com/publishers/mapgear/web-connections/geoapps. How to use? Add the transformer in your workspace, and configure the parameters. You need to set up two parameters: the GeoApps workspace name, dataset id and the web connection to GeoApps. You can find the dataset Id within your GeoApps workspace. Questions? Do you need any

Az_BlobStorageConnector

FME Hub user cyclomedia just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. Custom Azure BlobStorageConnector The standard FME Transformer Called AzureBlobStorageConnector doesn't support authentication via an Azure Application for connecting to your Blob Storage using a predefined web connection or web services. This custom transformer is a special version where your are able to connect to Azure BlobStorage using a web connection / web services. In the background, this transformer is working with the Azure Rest API. The webconnection needs to be referenced to a Azure Application in Azure Active Directory, where your permissions are managed. You can list, download, upload, copy, and remove your blobs, as well as create or remove containers, depending on the permissions granted to the Azure Application. Generating a web service in FME You'll need: - Tenant-ID - Client-ID - Client Secret This transformer is builded in: FME(R) 2024.2.1.0 (20241202 - Build 24801 - WIN64) By: Jan Smitsman Would

FMEFlowFailedJobsReportGenerator

FME Hub user martin_ekstrand just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. Generates a customizable HTML report of failed jobs using the FME Flow REST API. This transformer retrieves all failed jobs from FME Flow and outputs an HTML report that can be emailed or embedded in a dashboard in FME Flow. The report's appearance can be customized by modifying the CSS. You can split the report based on job attributes—for example, generate separate reports for jobs triggered by Automations versus those started via Workspace Apps. Additionally, the raw feature output is available if you prefer to build your own custom reports or workflows. Would you like to know more? Click here to find out more details!

OpenAIConnector

FME Hub user chrisatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. OpenAIConnector Transformer Documentation The OpenAIConnector is a custom FME transformer that enables integration with OpenAI's /v1/responses endpoint. This transformer allows you to send prompts to OpenAI's large language models and receive responses directly within an FME workspace. This model accepts text, image (Vision), file search, and web search based inputs. Purpose This transformer supports AI-driven tasks such as content generation, classification, summarization, or transformation of structured/unstructured data, by leveraging OpenAI's text generation capabilities in a repeatable, automatable data workflow. The Example Use Case Imagine you have a dataset with a column of customer support inquiries, and you'd like to auto-generate a response or classify the sentiment. You can: Use AttributeCreator to build a dynamic prompt string. Pass that prompt to OpenAIConnector. Capture the model's response as a new

FileCustomMetadata

FME Hub user davekazemi just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. File Custom Metadata Manager Transformer Description This transformer allows you to manage custom metadata for files through three primary operations: Set - Add or update metadata (either all metadata or a specific key-value pair) Get - Retrieve metadata (either all metadata or a specific key) Remove - Delete all custom metadata from a file The transformer leverages Python to manipulate file streams with alternate data streams (ADS) in Windows file systems, storing metadata in a structured JSON format. Use Cases 1. Data Lineage Tracking Track data processing history by attaching metadata about transformations applied, processing dates, or source information to files without modifying their original content. 2. Workflow Configuration Management Store configuration parameters as metadata directly with the data files, allowing workflows to read these settings during execution rather than hard-coding them. 3.
