FME Hub user chrisatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.OpenAIConnector Transformer DocumentationThe 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. PurposeThis 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 CaseImagine 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:

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 downlo

FME Hub user davekazemi just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.OverviewThe 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 pr
