ArcGIS Portal Writer - Invalid Credentials

My company recently switched from ArcGIS Online to having Enterprise Portal and I haven't been able to connect in FME. I put the portal URL in and my username and password which work if I'm in ArcGIS pro or working in an internet browser but in the reader or writer it's coming back as invalid credentials error code from the server of 400. Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried all of the authentication types available.

FME, read features AutoCAD object enabler

Hi, I am currently facing an issues in which I cannot access objects within a AutoCAD file. The AutoCAD file contains 3D objects from Civil 3D that can be seen in AutoCAD with the object enabler plug-in from Autodesk. However, I cannot seem to be able to find the geometry or the features while reading the .dwg file using FME. My hypothesis is that FME does not recognize the content since it basically is unknown for a standard set up of AutoCAD. However, once the object enabler plug-in is installed, the content can be read in AutoCAD. Anyone else had similar issues and could point me in the right direction? Thanks,Adam

Problem with CSG Evaluation while reading an IFC-File

Hi all, I have some troubles reading an ifc-File with FME 2018.1. I’m able to read all of the ifc-types except of IfcWindows and IfcWallStandardCase. When I read these feature types, I get memory issues and the workspace process fails with the message “Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage limit”. The file is not that big (182MB) and I run it on a machine with 32GB RAM. I guess the problem is associated with the CSG Evaluation of the features. If I set this parameter to yes in the ifc-reader, then I get the memory issues right away when I start the workspace. If I set the parameter to no and run the workspace with certain transformers (like a GeometryValidator, VertexCounter,…) or the CSGEvaluator, I get the problems after a certain amount of features. As described in the reader documentation, the csg evaluation is performed, when it is required (“If the CSG evaluation is not performed in the IFC reader, FME will automatically perform the evaluation when it is re

Adding Google sheets as a writer authentication problem

Hi, I am trying to add Google sheets writer but I am getting a white screen when trying to authenticate. This previously worked but I was having a problem adding Google sheets to someone else report for me. I thought removing the connection and adding it back it might solve this problem but now I am unable to add this back so have lost connection for existing reports. I have tried to add this from running the report and via FME options web connections but the getting the same result. I am presented with a white screen and nothing else. I am guessing that you would normally get the google authentication to OK at the point I am getting the white screen. Has anyone else had this problem and any idea on how this could be fixed. Thanks Kevin

How to convert GIS annotation (point .shp) to display in MicroStation.

I am looking to convert Ordnance Survey MasterMap Topography annotation from a GIS point shapefile format so that they display as annotation in MicroStation. I have converted using FME and written the GIS attributes as tags in the .dgn but unsure how to expose these. There may be a better way to do this! Thanks.

Save 3D data to PostGIS

I have a dataset with 3D building saved in a geodatabase (*.gdb).I would like to write the dataset to a PostGIS-database. However, when I do this, some information seems to get lost: This is the same building, the first directly from gdb-file, the second read from the PostGIS-database. The color information is lost and none of the attributes from the gdb are written to the database.I am using a PostGIS-writer in FME 2018.1Is there a way to transfer all information from the original dataset to the database?

Read in Excel file from SharePoint

Hello all, We are in the process of testing some ETL workflows and were wondering if it is possible to create a reader for an Excel file saved to SharePoint. The excel file is uploaded to a SharePoint site (on our internal network). I've tried creating a Microsoft Excel format reader and appended the site's url to the Dataset location, but with no avail. I am using network authentication to access the dataset with the necessary credentials from within FME desktop. Any ideas on where I am going wrong? Thanks much in advance.

How to better control Excel Reader for unwanted Warnings ?

I read an Excel (.xslx) file with several worksheets in it.I specify 2 Feature Types to read, i.e. I want to read 2 out of 8 available worksheets.I get the data I want and so far so good. What I do not like is, that I get hundreds of WARNINGS for all kinds of problems which seem to exists in the worksheets I don't read.e.g. WARN |A required column was not found in the table. Row xxx will be skipped I did not want to read them and I don't care about anything in those other worksheets.Is there a way to silence the warnings for worksheets I don't read ?I don't understand why they are processed anyhow ... ThanksMichael

Error writing to ESRI Enterprise gdb

I have a workspace that is trying to write to an Esri enterprise database (in PostGis). One particular layer errors out with An error occurred while attempting to open the table, feature class or relationship class 'xxxx'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216011'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The SQL statement was not a select statement}I’m unclear what sql statement the process is trying to run as no ‘sql to run before write’ was specified when the writer was created.Other similar layers pass through and write with no apparent problem. Disabling that layer allows the process to run. The fields are named in similar fashion to the other layers.Esri told me to try writing out to a file gdb first (the File Geodb writer had no problem) and then read that into the enterprise version but the source format doesn’t seem to affect it. Obviously there is something the ArcSDE Geodb writer does not like about that layer, but I can't see it. What should
