Hello, I was asked by a colleague if I we can use FME to create a report with 3D Thumbnails like this:And I'm not sure? Is there a way?I guess I would have to create the thumbnails externaly and join it back together to create a pdf? 

HiI am clipping a LAS file and writing to a new LAS file. I have noticed in the LAS Header the following fields have not been updated and contain info from the original LAS file:system identifier generating software file creation day/yearWhen I clip using lasclip these fields are updated so I wondered if there is a reason FME doesn't?TIA 

I have approximately 170 tables from a sqlite database that I need to convert to geojson and save as @Value(fme_feature_type). I have a workflow to process each table individually but I need a way to automate the process. Passing all tables through the same workflow merges the schemas of all input tables. It isn't practical to pass each table through its own set of transformers when dealing with this amount of tables. Some type of loop control seems logical to pass tables through the workflow one after another while ensuring that output schemas are refreshed after each iteration. I'm fairly new to FME so any help would be truly appreciated.

I received a sample of IFC data and was asked to import it into MS SQL database spatial database.I was able to import the data but no geometry. How do I get the geometry? This is new data for me. @DaveAtSafe

Hi there,Probably a fairly simple one for you, but I'm a total novice!I have hundreds of thousands of files in PDF and TIF formats hosted on a server - lets call it Server 1.In a SQL2008 database on another server called Server 2, I have over 100000 records which contain a specific reference number which links these files individually (so that one reference number might be linked to several PDFs or TIFs using the same reference number, e.g. Ref number 19994321 on Server 2 will be related to PDFs/ TIFs with the Ref number 19994321 on Server 1).In an Excel spreadsheet, I have a list of the reference numbers on Server 2 that I want to retrieve files for from Server 1 and I need to call them using two field names in the SQL database which defines the PDF/ TIF- under either 'Subject_Name' or 'doc_Type' and containing certain words as a parameter to narrow the search: 'Site Location Map' and/ or 'Location'.I want to then copy those files (once identified f

Hello. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to extract 3D layers from a project I have online. I'm able to extract the parent layers, but I'm having trouble trying to get attributes from the child layers. I'm using a JSONFeature Reader, ListExploder, and a FeatureReader, but perhaps my parameters aren't correct. If anyone has any suggestions on a workflow, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I have a workspace that I can run on my desktop 2018.1.2.0 however when I run it on server it returns the below error.

Hi all,We have FME server on linux using docker; FME Server 2017.1.1 - Build 17650 - linux-x64.Unfortunately we found out that some processes are generating core dumps and hss_err_pidxxxx.log files.Does somebody know, what could be root of the issue or where should we start to find out the root of the issue? Also how to identify what process exactly is causing generation for core dump and hs_err_pidxxx.log creation?thanks a lot in advance!information from hs_err_pid153.log file:# # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f6469201630, pid=153, tid=0x00007f644203c700 # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (8.0_131-b11) (build 1.8.0_131-8u131-b11-2ubuntu1.16.04.3-b11) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (25.131-b11 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops) # Problematic frame: # C [libfmeutil_jni.so+0x12630] JNIEnvGetterManager::GetCurrentThreadJNIEnv()+0xe0 # # Core dump written.

I need to use the elasticsearch writer with authentication - works great in Beta but I need to get it into production with both desktop and server.It would be great if I could some timescales so that I can feed back to the project team

I have created a workspace based on https://community.safe.com/s/article/creating-pdf-cartographic-outputthat outputs a simple PDF. Users can input a specific attribute (via a published parameter) and query out this feature, buffer around it and the output map is centered around this feature. Background data such as hydrology, roads and text are clipped to a bounding box from the buffer and displayed to give context to the location of the queried feature.  This works very well when there is only one feature as it produces a simple map zoomed to a suitable scale showing the queried feature and the surrounding background data. I would like to modify this workspace to run multiple queried features through it and produce multiple PDFs showing one queried feature per page along with its background data. I'm not sure how to achieve this. Should I be looking to use a data fanout? Or would a loop work? Any help I can get would be most appreciated.

My goal is to be able to have an AGOL feature service that overwrites the previous version each time the workspace runs on FME Server. As of now, I can't get the AGOL writer to work at all. The error I am getting is 'ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type '"featurename"'. Any tips regarding using this writer?

When writing las files fme defaults to determining its own scale factor and offset values to utilise in the output file. For a las to las conversion is there a way of forcing fme to maintain/use the same offset and scale factor values that the input las file has?

Hi,I'm trying to automate a process where FME reads in an Excel sheet in a specific format, but i need to split the Sheet into two parts (as they are completely different structures) and treat as two different datasets effectively. Is there a way in the Excel sheet reader to effectively duplicate a sheet in order to choose the different cell ranges that i require?

I'm working with FMEServer.I developed a small workbench that connects to s3, reads the content of some folder and downloads it into FME resource folder. The problem with downloading occurs only while first running. I get the following error:FAILUREjava.lang.Exception: COM.safe.fmewebservices.FMEWebServiceException: COM.safe.fmeserver.api.FMEServerException: QSInvalidRequestWhen I repeat a job, right after that, the job is done successfully.In both cases, engines are turned on.My workflow is as follows:Any idea of solving this problem?

Is anyone successfully using FME 2018 with Oracle 18? I can't find information on whether or not Oracle 18 is supported.

I am running some simple jobs that merely move datasets from one location/format to another to provide access from multiple systems and applications. When one of the source datasets contains a field name that is a SQL reserved work (SQL Server in this case) FME Workbench is unable to create the output feature class and the job fails.  For example I have a Shapefile of airports that has a text field in it named "Name". When I attempt to write this dataset to an enterprise geodatabase without changing that field name the job fails with this error -"An error occurred while attempting to create the feature class 'airports_metro'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147215961'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Invalid database name [08004:[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Database 'NVARCHAR' does not exist.

Hi all, I've city buildings in .gml formats.And also i have aerial images of city.I would like to texturizing buildings from aerial images.So, i want to use texture coordinates of images.How can i describe and correspond texture coordinates and my buildings?

I have a workspace in FME server, that includes PythonCaller.The PythonCaller includes a script that needs a directory as one of its input parameters.The directory that i want it to use, is provided to the PythonCaller as hidden user parameter. The definition of the user parameter is just text, and the value also consists of other user parameter values, that were provided from a desktop workspace which triggers the server workspace.I have tried everything. I've changed the parameter definition and i've to put r and quote marks around the value. Still the workspace fails.This error message for example comes, if i just try to input the user parameter value as just plain directory (D:\\Data\\citydb_temp\\...)" Python Exception <OSError>: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'D:<backslash>Data<backslash>citydb_temp< ..." So how do i put a user parameter directory as an input parameter in to the PythonCa

What I'm trying to do, is to convert a JSON response form a HTTP caller to a standard table format (Excel or CSV). The issue is how do I tell FME that I want the specific keys as column headers?

Hello,I need to process a number of text files holding differing numbers of data rows.The first 7 lines are fixed - they are the loggerid / siteid / channelref / units / totals / startdate / enddate.After that there could be a different number of rows with a datetime and a value.I need to process these files into a sql table with the fixed 7 lines data added to the datetime and value rows. The data in the first 7 lines will change so I need FME to process the files once at a time into the writer rather than all at once.Any idea how I do this?CheersN

I am using a creator and a GoogleDriveConnector to upload pdf files in a folder structure in a drive. After the upload is completed, I am trying to read the path names of each file using a Directory and File Pathnames Reader. I also use a featureMerger to join the features from the Pathname Reader with another Feature Type.My question is: can the Pathname Reader access the sharable link of every files it reads so that during the merged features have the link as an attribute? Thank you
