There is a field I need to see in a KMZ file in this conversion to a shapefile. It's called TypeName and the only evidence I see for its existence is this code I got from verbose logging, "<tr><td>TYPE_NAME</td><td>THEORETICAL SPLICE</td></tr><tr bgcolor="#D4E4F3"><td>SPLICE_CLOSURE_ID</td><td><Null></td></tr><tr>I think the parent tag is Document based on this from the Translation Log, "Attribute(encoded: UTF-16LE): kml_parent' has valuekml_id_doc_1.1' Attribute(encoded: UTF-16LE): kml_parent_type' has value Document'", but I'm not sure. It only has 2 features and Placemark has 5878.I was advised to use HTMLExtractor and this is how I have set it up with the Document file:When I run it, don't know what to enter into the HTML File or URL field. But for this attempt I have guessed it's "kml_document".It failed and this message is included in the report: "The below feature caused the translation t

Seems that the ArcGIS Online authentication token expires in fairly short order. Has anyone found a workaround to this issue? This makes running scheduled tasks difficult as re-authentication is needed on a daily basis it seems. This is most likely an issue on the Esri side as FME is just passing your credentials to the Esri's OAuth api endpoint.I'm wondering if anyone has stored their AGO credentials in the workspace, pass those credentials to the OAuth api for authorization, then continue on with accessing feature services in AGO? Probably not the best idea to do this...

Hello,  I am new to FME Server, I have managed to publish a workspace form FME Desktop to FME Server. However when I try to run the workspace in FME Server I get a error:  This also happens when I try to follow the instructions with a test workspace from: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/22669/publish-a-workspace-to-fme-server-and-run-it.html I have reinstalled FME Server already and it seems the directories of the logs are present in the installation folders. Can somebody explain what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Hello I have an FME Server (2019) instance hosted on FME Cloud (standard instance size). One of the hosted workbenches allows users to upload PDFs as input, then reads the pages as raster data and carries out some operations on that imagery. Most of the time this workbench works without any issue, but a large PDF (or a small PDF with lots of pages) will cause the workbench to use all available memory (8GB, standard instance), and FME Server becomes unresponsive. A reboot and cancellation of the job is required in this situation. I have a couple of ways to mitigate the risk of crashing the server (PDF file size limit, using a job expiry time etc), but I'm wondering if there is any way to manage the memory FME Server is committing to the job. E.g. only 4GB of memory is ever committed to this workbench. Or should I be revisiting the workbench to make it use memory more efficiently?  Looking for a pointer in the right direction, appreciate any help.

Hi there, I'm working on a workbench where I write DGN V8 data. I would want to use a custom linestyle from my seed file but it does not seem to work. What I do is I use an attributeCreator to create the attribute igds_style and I try to assign the custom linestyle value but I don't know what it's supposed to be. From the documentation, it is said that igds_style takes negative integer to represent custom linestyle.My question would be how to know which number is assigned to my custom linestlye?Also , do you have an other idea as to how to write my custom linestyle ? Thanks in advance !

We have a ESRI FGDB file available with .z02 file extension. Is it possible to read FGDB data on FME without ARCGIS ? Can we upload FGDB file to Oracle spatial database through FME ? Any pointer on this would be appreciated

I cannot import a file geodatabase into FME 2014.  I am using ArcGIS 10.1.  I checked with the data provider and they are on the same version.  Also the file geotabase does open in ArcGIS but not FME.  Anyone know why this may be.

I have 3,144 geotif files I want to mosaicI get the error "Too many recursive macro substitutions"Is there a maximum number of files that can be read?

 Howdy, I'm running FME 2019.0 and I am having problems writing a file geodatabase relationship table, specifically working with geodatabase attachments.In my situation I am using an ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader to read in data collected with the ArcGIS Collector App. For my purposes I have filtered out unwanted attachments and now I need to write the data as a file geodatabase with the desired attachments.The error message I am consistently getting is:|ERROR |Failed to retrieve origin row for a relationship feature with OBJECTID '558' from table/feature class 'RC_Fire_Hazardous_Trees_Removal_CIP2260'This error implies that in the origin table (the point geometry) the 'geodb_oid' is written to the 'OBJECTID' field. However, testing out the "Writing ArcGIS Geodatabase Attachments" template file (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/45301/writing-arcgis-geodatabase-attachments.html) it does not appear to be necessary to be feasible nor necessary to write the 'geodb_oid' to 'OBJECT

Hi community,  I'm confronted to a problem with DWG Writer.  The problem is simple:  A DWG is used to be validated and, as a report, a dwg is sent to user to show him what's correct/incorrect in the DWG...  The problem is with some DWG's that contain shape files ...  My writer use a template dwg file to display point as a block. At this particular feature writer , I get this error: Shape defined within template is not stored. Error When I open the original dwg in autocad I get this alert window:  

Hello all,I have several hundred geoTiff tiles that I want to mosaic into a single ecw.How can I set the background of the ecw to white?Currently the ecw has a full black background, which is a waste of ink when printing.My workbench is simple; geotiff reader => raster mosaicker => ecw writer

We are looking at implementing a solution similar to the demo shown at https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1463/data-upload-validation-and-real-time-display-1.html  Can you let me know if the features and steps mentioned on the above page are possible with FME Cloud? 

Currently using FME 2018 Desktop. I have a workbench using the AGOL Writer to write a large data set to an ArcGIS Online Feature Service layer as follows:Writer mode: INSERTTruncate First: YesFeatures per request set to 1000When executing the workbench, sometimes it works and sometimes it Fails and gives the output time out error 504. What's the best approach to optimize the AGOL Writer or the workbench to avoid timeout issues with AGOL? Thank you.   

I have a feature layer in AGOL. What I try to do is when there is a new record added into the layer, the FME workspace published into the FME server can auto detect the changes, then trigger the workspace to run. FME Schedules can do the job, but not idea. Any ideas? Thank you.

I'm reading an Excel file with UUID fields looking like this {c52aff68-61fb-4004-bd58-84a3eb35e878}. How do I transfer them to an Oracle raw(32) fields in the Writer?

I am trying to use a WFS FeatureReader. I'm not getting any errors and it is outputting the schema and initiator but not the actual layer that I have selected  It's almost as if it isn't in the correct coordinate system however I have cheked multiple times and with multiple WFS links and it's just not working. I am trying to select the "WFS Output Format" but there are no options in the drop down menu. I'm wondering if this is the issue? Or is anyone else having the issue of WFS FeatureReaders not wokring. I'm using FME 2019

I am writing data to an AGOL feature but when the process runs, one field of the data does not get written. Everything else writes properly except for the one field. The field types are correct as other similar data is written out during the process.Any ideas?I have included a screen grab of the data preview in the reader, and the data table in AGOL.Thanks,--gary

Hello,I have an FME 2018 workbench with an AGOL Writer set up to write to a Feature Service layer in AGOL by Writer Mode: Insert, Truncate First: No (I want to keep appending different records to the table). (See screenshot below)Steps to reproduce the FME warning (error):1. First time run the FME workbench from a January data set csv file that gets geocoded to arcgisonline_polygonResults: All column fields get written to AGOL geodatabsae and feature service layer perfectly fine2. Second time I run the FME workbench from a February data set csv file that gets geocoded to arcgisonline_polygonResults: FME gives me a warning: "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Attribute 'PLAN' on feature type 'Land_Lots' does not match any field on the corresponding layer/table. The attribute will be ignored"The workbench translation is still successful. However, when I look at the table in AGOL, I now notice that the second time I had ran the FME workbench, the PLAN field go
