Process fails due to reader error, despite 'ignore failed readers' being set

I have a workspace that is aimed at accepting either a shapefile or a DWG to define an area of interest which in turn is used to find data. I've linked both readers to optional parameters, blank default sources, and set 'ignore failed readers' to yes, yet when only uploading a shapefile (i.e. not uploading a DWG) I still get a process failure on FME Server with this message about the DWG reader failing:I can try later with feature readers, but to me this shouldn't fail - any ideas?

Create 3DTiles in WGS84 with unit in Radians

I have a dataset with 3D buildings in the format CityGML (EPSG: 25832) and would like to present this in Cesium as 3DTiles. The 3DTiles must be available in the WGS84 with units in Radians, and at first the longitude and then the latitude must be listed. (See 3DTiles specification: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/3d-tiles#coordinate-system-and-units)    Input data:  Format: CityGML  EPSG: 25832,  Unit: metre  Geodetic CRS: ETRS89  Date: European Terrestrial Reference System 1989  Ellipsoid: GRS 1980  Example: 544913.83 5460346.67 205.41 (x, y, z)    Required output data:  Format: 3DTiles  EPSG: 4326 but in the unit radiant  Geodetic CRS: WGS 84  Date: World Geodetic System 1984  Ellipsoid: WGS 84  Prime meridian: Greenwich  Example: 0.1678606623,0.86034635,205.41 (longitude, latitude, height)Here my experiments:Reader: CityGML (EPSG 25832) -> Writer: 3DTiles (LL84-RADIANS)Reader: CityGML (EPSG 25832) -> CSMapReprojector (25832 to LL84-RADIANS) -> Writer: 3DTiles (LL84

FME Cloud - Running Scheduled Job during an FME Cloud Running Scheduled Instance

Hello,I am curious to know if the Scheduled Instance on FME Cloud would terminate a non completed job in FME Server.In this theoretical scenario I would schedule the FME Cloud Instance to be activated let's say at 10 a.m every day and that the FME Server Job would run at 10:15 every day. Under normal circumstances it would take 30 minutes to run the job and my FME Cloud Instance will be deactivated at 11 a.m . But what would happen if the FME Server Scheduled Job one day takes 1h 30 m to run, would FME Cloud Scheduled Instance wait for the job to complete?  Thank you.Lyes

ArcGIS Portal Writer is not Linked

I am using the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer to publish feature services to our ArcGIS Portal from an Oracle database. When we use ArcMap to do this it writes to ArcGIS Server, not ArcGIS Portal, and creates a link between the Oracle database and the feature service in ArcGIS Server. Then when the data changes in Oracle, those changes are reflected in ArcGIS Server. You can also write back to the database by putting the feature service on a map in ArcGIS Portal.However, this is not the case with the FME Portal Feature Service. It creates a file geodatabase and a feature service from that geodatabase, but the link to the source Oracle database is broken. In ESRI terminology this is a "hosted service". Changes to the Oracle database are not pushed to the feature service.Are there plans to make a Esri service that writes to ArcGIS Server and keeps the connection between the source database and the feature service? We would like to automate our publish process to ArcG

Reducing bit depth in TIF images

Is there a way to reduce the bit depth in TIF images from 24 to 8?  I've gad a look at the RasterInterpretationCoercer and RasterNandInterpretationCoercer transformers but haven't managed to get very far.  The ultimate destination is BIX BCP and this is only compatible with 8 bit colour hence the requirement to reduce the bit depth.  Thanks,  Matt

Reading a Google Map from Map's URL

Hello,I have the following map:https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1mtB5peL8y8Xc0aj85d5OMZX-sFsWhere I would like to use FME to read directly (online) from the map and extract out the desired pieces of information to publish in our Open Data Catalogue.Everything I have found suggests to export to a KML file but that requires manual intervention and I want this as an automated process.I am open to suggestions.Thank you

Is there a way to Group Readers if the readers have been added individually?

Folks,Pardon my nomenclature, I suspect that's part of my problem.I've been adding Mapinfo Readers as I've needed certain tables to be converted to CAD. That's left me with a list of 10 separate readers in the navigator.Previously when I did something similar for MI > GML I just added ALL THE TABLES in a single Reader as a group.Changing data sets is snap you just open the new set.With the individually added one-reader-per-table I need to go into each Reader and open the corresponding table.Is there a way to "group" these readers so I can open the referenced tab files as a set?
