TimeSeriesGenerator

FME Hub user abizien just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. TimeSeriesGenerator The TimeSeriesGenerator is a custom FME transformer designed to generate a sequence of timestamped features between a specified start and end date, at user-defined intervals. It outputs each timestamp in three formats: FME Date Format: Suitable for internal FME date operations. ISO 8601 Format: Human-readable format. Epoch Time: Unix timestamp in seconds, ideal for sorting and time-based calculations. Parameters Start Date Type: Date Description: Defines the beginning of the time series. Accepts direct date input or attribute references. End Date Type: Date Description: Defines the end of the time series. Accepts direct date input or attribute references. Time Lapse (seconds) Type: Numeric Description: Specifies the interval between consecutive timestamps, in seconds. Obvious Cheat Sheet To assist in determining appropriate time lapse values: 1 min = 60 sec 5 min = 300 sec 10 min = 600 sec 30 min =

DataVirtualizationResponseSetter

FME Hub user abizien just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. Overview The DataVirtualizationResponseSetter custom transformer is designed to assist in the configuration of HTTP responses within the context of FME's Data Virtualization functionality. This transformer allows users to construct and populate the required HTTP response attributes by providing a simplified user interface for specifying standard response values. It is particularly useful when simulating or defining API response outputs for virtualized data services. Input Ports Input: Accepts any feature. Only attribute values are used by this transformer; geometry is ignored. Output Ports Output: Passes through the input feature, augmented with the specified http_response attributes. Generated Attributes This transformer adds the following attributes to the feature under the http_response group: http_response.response.status_code: The HTTP response code (e.g., 200, 404). http_response.response.body.content: The body

4 methods for tracking data changes in FME

Blogger Tiana Warner just posted a new article to the FME Blog. Title: 4 methods for tracking data changes in FME Summary: Learn how to track data changes in FME using four powerful methods, including timestamps, database triggers, and change data capture (CDC). Introduction: When managing data, understanding how and why it changes is critical. By detecting changes early and accurately, you can streamline workflows, eliminate tedious manual checks, and focus on the records that matter. Automated change detection allows you to handle large datasets efficiently by processing only updated records, improve real-time responsiveness by reacting immediately to new changes, minimize data movement to reduce API calls and cloud storage costs, and align with enterprise-level data practices by tapping into existing change capture systems.

FalconView Drawing File Reader

FME Hub user daveatsafe just uploaded a new format to the FME Hub. FME can read data in the FalconView™ vector format. FalconView is a Windows mapping system that displays various types of maps and geographically referenced overlays. Many types of maps are supported, but the primary ones of interest to most users are aeronautical charts, satellite images, and elevation maps. FalconView also supports a large number of overlay types that can be displayed over any map background. The current overlay set is targeted toward military mission planning users and is oriented towards aviators and aviation support personnel. Overview The FalconView reader is a custom reader based on the Microsoft Access JDBC reader, and produces vector data such as lines, points and text, along with other feature types more specific to military data processing. Reader Overview FalconView drawing files contain a single table, Main, with three fields specifying the feature number, type, and data. Drawing files may

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.

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
