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

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

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!

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

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. Complianc

FME Hub user vosgeo-analyses just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. KLIC Transformer (version 1)By: Vos Geo-analyses (Roelof Vos) This transformer reads a previously downloaded KLIC file. The KLIC is downloaded from Kadaster.nl and shows all cables and pipelines in the specified area.The goal of this transformer is to read the .xml file, connect and expose all relevant data to each geometry and write it with a pre-defined style to a GeoPackage, or provide it to the end user as a raw output.Input Use a Creator with one creation instance to kick off the transformer.The KLIC file can be zipped or unzipped. The transformer can also process unzipped files within the same folder. KLIC files must begin with the name "Levering_". User parameters The KLIC transformer works with three user parameters: 1. KLIC_FOLDER: specify where you saved your KLIC downloads on your computer. From here the transformer will load all data with a Directory and File Pathnames reader. 2. Destination_writer

FME Hub user davekazemi just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub. Overview The Process Monitor is a custom FME transformer that monitors running processes on your system, waiting until processes matching a specific name reach a defined threshold or until a timeout occurs. Designed primarily for coordinating asynchronous workflows, it allows you to ensure prerequisite tasks have completed before continuing execution. This transformer is particularly valuable when using WorkspaceRunner with asynchronous execution enabled, as it can pause the workflow until all child processes have completed. The transformer provides visual and audible notifications upon completion and logs monitoring status to the FME log. Key features include configurable process name targeting, adjustable checking intervals, timeout protection, and automated notifications. It's an essential tool for managing complex parallel processing workflows and ensuring proper sequence of operations in resource-intensive FME
