GML Reader not reading all features in FME Server

I have a large GML dataset (200.000 features) In FME Desktop (build 19630) it runs great in a FeatureReader set up for GML (both ignore application schema yes and no) but in FME Server it stops after the 1034th feature with a message that it has an unexpected end of input (for both ignore application schema yes and no).I did notice the XSD that is provided had too a short a field for certain values (but shouldnt matter for ignore application schema = yes)https://www.aerius.nl/files/ftp_upload/habitatkartering.gmlThen if I run a generated workspace from GML2GML in FME Desktop and ignore the schema the resulting GML will end in FME Server (build 19630) with an unexected end of tag.Bug or I'm missing something? FME Server and GML haven't proven me yet

attribute names on the 3rd row

I have an Excel file which has the header on the 3rd row. The first and second rows have additional information. My actual data values start from row 4. Is there any way in FME to remove the first two rows and use the 3rd row for attribute names? I have attached my example file.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm converting a file from XML to GeoJSON. The conversion goes fine, but I want the coordinates to be in a line ("geometry":{"type":"LineString"...). I'm somewhat new to FME Workbench and can't figure out how to do it in the conversion, is it possible?

Read From SQL Reporting Service and convert to a Shapefile?

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way I can save a report from SQL Reporting Service into a shapefile? This lit building report has lat/lon and If I can grab from one of the formats it exports and then convert to a point shapefile, that would be my end goal. I have tried saving the excel using HTTPCaller to a folder then writing that to shapefile, but it has not been able to get the file. Is there another way that I should be going about this if it is possible? I would most likely not be able to get access to the backend database due to IT Assurance.

I noticed some strange behaviour while exporting some simple data to shapefile: when using the "tech preview" (writer of featurewriter) my attribute name and values are trimmed to one character...I've read this format is still under active development, but as i couldn't find it as a known issue: is this a bug or am i doing something wrong? expected output (using the 'classic' shapefilewriters): tech preview output: using FME(R) 2019.1.3.0 (20191007 - Build 19642 - WIN64)example workbench:

Download from a Google Drive shareable link

Hello Forum,I want to use a shareable link from my Google Drive, that I want to integrate into my Workbench, because I'm planning to share my FMW with other people. My link refers to a folder containing data.I don't want to share with others my account connection informations though.I'm looking at the GoogleDriveConnector and I don't see a way to download files from a shareable link.Then I thought about the HTTPCaller, but I can't figure how neither.Is it possible to do that? If not, what option do I have? AWS, Azure, Dropbox, I'll probably have the same issue?Thanks!

Hi Folks,Is there a confirmed release date for 2019.2?I understand that this version support ArcGIS Pro 2.4 Python.Kind regardsSteve

Writing multiple different PNG's in multiple pdf's using a path reference

I currently have an excel containing a few hundreds of addresses and information, which needs to be put into multiple PDFs. Each PDF need to contain an introduction letter and a map. This map is generated in ArcMap and exported as png. The excel contains a path reference to a folder where all the png's are stored. So, each excel value (letter) has it's unique png.I'm trying to create a PDF page for each png, for this I am using the pdf_page_formatter. I succeeded in generating a page for each map (by using pdf_page_number). However, the png will not show-up in the PDF. Is there a way that FME will load the png in the PDF, using only a path reference?For example: C:\\Temp\\output\\105899887_RDK02K4525.png

autocad_viewport_view_center_x,y and autocad_viewport_twist_angle not working together

I have a workspace in which I create a viewport and then center the model space over specific coordinate, this works great, until I try and twist the viewport, then I only get viewport twist and no centering or scaling of the viewport, is there an attribute order I am not respecting? I really need to focus the viewport and twist it.Here are the transformers I am using to create viewport and calculate twist angle. Here are the attributes I am creating with the attribute creator. And I am getting center of location in model space units from CenterPointExtractor This works great to get the viewport centered on a specific location, as soon as I add this I lose the location inside the viewport and all I get is twist angle in the viewport no custom scale or focus on x,y. Anyone have a similar issue? Here is viewport with autocad_viewport_twist_angle set, the rotation of viewport is good, but no focus And once I remove the twist angle attribute I get this, the viewport is center perfect. H

Excel template file doesn't work after FME update

Hi,I have updated my FME Desktop 2018.1 to FME 2019.0 and my workflow writing excel files based on a template file stop working. I was able to go around missing conditional formatting with few ExcelStylers. However, I am still missing the print layout which I have defined in the template. All required formatting stays in the template sheet, but is not distributed to the sheets written by FME. What have 2019 version changed and how can I use my template file again?

Using Path Reader to query results and setup path writer

HiI am trying to work with the path reader and trying to do the following 2 tasks but struggling to decide the best way to do it and also how.1) The path finder is picking up a geodatabase. At feature reader it picks up 5 feature classes. At generic stage or next step is there anyway for it to pick up a specific feature class? This will mean i can then query the results just for that feature class.2) The output which is the geodatabase changes name on weekly basis. I would like to write out to this geodatabase without having to manually change the file output to the geodatabase. Would this be possible in the same way the path finder is used to find the original directory.Example is below

How to output .mtl file from cad files?

Hi, I am very new to FME and I have just created a workflow to transform DWG/DXF files into OBJ files. However, I have noticed that the .mtl file is not generated together with the .obj one. I am using an AttributeManager to do the conversion and, apart from the .mtl not being generated, the .obj looks fine. Thanks in advance for any help.
