Reconcile and Post Issue

Hi,I am trying to post and reconcile in a versioned SDE environment within FME. I have set up a workspace as described by @vincethom in his post here.I have a creator-->AttributeCreator(OBJECTID that I set to -1) --> to my SDE Writer. My SDE writer parameters are as follows:Databaseconnection Connection File: (My Version) General Parameters: Transaction Type: Versioned Edit Session Advanced Reconcile and Post: Yes Delete Child state follwing reconcile and post: NoCommit Transactions at the end of Write: Yes I get the following error:Unable to post the version '"NORTHCOW\\MyVersionto the target version 'sde.DEFAULT' because the version 'sde.DEFAULT' is protected and not public. Make the target version public or retry the translation connecting as the owner of the target version 'sde.DEFAULT'Both my version and the parent access is set to "Protected". I have no issues reconciling and posting in ESRI and my licensing is curr

Force WFS reader to send authentication headers

I'm attempting to use the WFS reader to retrieve a capabilities document using HTTP Basic authentication. However, I suspect that FME isn't sending the Authentication header unless it's challenged with a 401 response from the server, which is a problem because the server I'm connecting to returns 200 response containing public layers for unauthenticated users and hence no challenge.Are my suspicions are correct? Is there a way to force FME to send the Authentication header without waiting to be challenged with a 401 response?Things I've tried:- Checked "Use Network Authentication", selected "Basic" authentication, and added a username and password. No private layers appear under "Feature Types".- Manually typed the name of a private layer into "Feature Types". FME says that the layer was not found in the capabilities document.- Added the username and password to the URL, e.g. https://username:password@server/wfs.

using a list (Excel) to populate the feature types to read in a DGN reader

[Using FME Server 2018]I am reading in a large volume or MicroStation files and want to limit the levels that are being read in. In a previous step I created a an Excel file of all of the unique level names in the DGN files for the user to review and give categories to. The user can then delete what they don't want and make sure the categories are correct for the rest. In the next step these categories will be assigned to each of the level names. I realize that I can just remove any feature that does not have a category assigned to it later in the process but that is not efficient. Since the DGN reader can populate the features to be read, I thought I could just read the list of level names from the newly reviewed Excel file and use that to limit which levels I read in. The difference is not minor. If I read in all of the features unfiltered, that would be over 1 million features. Filtering it first can bring it down to under 700,000 features.I was thinking something with an Excel

XMLUpdater - Updating values with the same XML path

Hello FME community!I am currently working on updating the metadata of a feature class using the XMLUpdater. Everything is going great so far but I am running into a little bit of a wall here. I am trying to update the Horizontal / Vertical positional accuracy in the metadata sheet. Theses can be found in Resource/Quality/Report section of the sheet. Here is a picture with the fields in question: As you can see on this example its pretty simple. You set the Dimension and fill the Horizontal Positional Accuracy report in the Description. My problem arises because I currently need two reports, one for Horizontal and one for Vertical and once I create them the XML reads as follow:As you can see both XML Path for the XMLUpdater are the same with the exception of the "dimension". That means that the XML Path for both horizontal and vertical Description read as "/metadata/dqInfo/report/measDesc".My question is: Is there a way to differentiate between these two locations i

XMLUpdater - Changing values from a drop down menu

Hello to the lovely FME communityI am fairly new to the FME world and am currently working in a small project to update the metadata of a feature class using the XMLUpdater. The process is working fine except for when I am trying to update the XML values of a drop down menu. For example If you go to the Item Description of the feature class and go to "Overview" --> "Citation Contacts" I am trying to change the "Role" from Distributor to Publisher like this:After some trial and error I found that the XML tag for this particular field is: As you can see "value = 011" is inside the tag and I tried different options within the XMLUpdater but it seems you are only able to replace whats after or before the tag(RoleCd value="011"), not what is inside (in need to change the number 011 to 010). I think It is not something I can replace using XMLUpdater (at least to my knowledge) so I was wondering If somebody could provide some feedback and p

IFC to 2D Shapefiles

Hello,I am trying to convert IFC to 2D Shapefiles. What I really want is to get the 2D Exterior boundary of every model. Sometimes it is the footprint, but sometimes is the footprint + the exceeding slabs or a buildingelementproxy. My method is to use a 2DForcer and then a GeometryFilter to extract the Areas in order to write Polygon Shapefiles. However, in models with high complexity the 2DForcer creates many small polygons as attached in the photo, that kill performance. This is partially solved using the Dissolver, but in cases as shown in the photo the process can take 2hours or even more in a PC with acceptable specs (i7, 32GB RAM).I would welcome any ideas on how to make this process more efficient. I have tried the TriangulatedSurfaces but with no luck. I believe it is normal, since IFC's geometries are solids. Should I create composite surfaces and then work with them? But this sounds like too much trouble to just get the footprints of a model. The BoundsExtractor also did
