Error using AttributeFileWriter and FeatureReader on FMECloud - Unfinished file?

I have a workbench which is writing out a zip file containing a shapefile using AttributeFileWriter then using a FeatureReader on the resulting zip file. It works fine in FME Desktop 2021 writing to a temp directory. When I run on FMECloud using the Temp resource folder I get an error when reading the zip file. If I download the zip file from the resource folder the file is valid. It's like the file is being held onto by the AttributeFileWriter (or it hasn't finished writing).I don't get the two warnings below in FME Desktop. It seems to imply the files haven't finished being written out. Is there any way to avoid this unfinished writing, or is there any way to take the binary shapefile zip data and read that directly without writing out to file?It might be possible to break out the workbench into multiple workbenches in the automation. This might happen on FME Server as well as FMECloud (I haven't tried it yet)

featureWriter returns different output structure in FME Cloud

Hello. my script in Workbench provides nicely zipped result from FeatureWriter. one excel sheet and one shapefile, named using User Parameter ("someID") When I publish this to FME Cloud, the structure of resulting zipped is completely mangled, and the user attribute value is not provided to the final file names (SomeID is fallback default value)(picture shows the flat view, each zip is in one of those folders) Can this be fixed so the result output of Cloud workflow has the same structure as the Workbench result? if I set the publish parameters in following way, the final zip file contains only one of the result files, either SHP or XLS

Elevation numbers exist, but output visually empty in ArcMap?

I am very new to the FME tool, I downloaded it to change my LAZ files to LAS. I have gone through a few tutorials, and my output is not empty. I have LAS point elevations, but visually it is empty. I have a big reg square, representing the outline of the LAZ tile I downloaded, located in the correct place on earth. There is nothing in the red square. Where do I go from here?

Using POST and body to trigger FME Server workspace.

Hi There,I am pretty sure what the answer is, just covering all bases....Normally when running a workspace published to FME Server the workspace parameters are populated via the query parameters and therefore the workspace URL contains the parameters provided. Registrating the workspace to the streaming service and defining the streaming output content, allows to provide the requesting application with the transformation results. Another way to run workspaces on FME Server is via the REST API but this does not return the workspace output to the requesting application, since the streaming service is not used. Now my question is: Is it possible to trigger a published workspace by posting the parameters values in the body and NOT in the URL while using the streaming service to return the transformation results to the requesting application? so using a POST + body and getting the transformation results and NOT the job id (async) or job transformation status (synch) Does naybody know if thi

FME Cloud dgn writer messes up character encoding.

I have FME desktop 2020.1 installed - when I generate dgn file everything looks ok, however when I publish it on cloud accents and diacritics go crazy.My local machine runs on win-1250. FME Cloud / Server run utf-8, is there a way to make this not mess up my texts? I have tried AttributeEncoder with no success.

I am being tasked by my manager to devise a process to move on prem FME to FME cloud. I cannt discover any documentation on this - Can you please direct me further. Regards

How can I use ReframeReprojector in FME Cloud?

I am trying to use ReframeReprojector to transform swiss coordinates within FME Cloud and I get the following error: "ReframeReprojector: Reproject: Could not reproject the geometry of the preceding feature: Dynamic reproject engine `REFRAMEREPROJECT' cannot be found". Is it possible to make the reframeproject available to the FME Cloud engine?

Is it possible to use deprecated (Python 2.7) transformers on the FME Server in Cloud?

We have a SnakeGridProjector transformer that we would like to use in one of our pipelines. We are wondering if it is possible to use it despite FME advicing against old python versions or if there is any better alternative? The projector is a must for the pipeline

Is it possible to create workbenches in FME Cloud or Server that would allow users to drop in two excel spreadsheets to perform a simple but customizable feature merger?

I am constantly getting asked to perform extremely simple excel tasks for my co-workers - vlookups, pivot tables, etc. Is it possible to create a workbench where they could just drag and drop their two spreadsheets, select their requestors and suppliers and hit run? I know how to do this in FME Desktop but how can I recreate this on cloud with a super simple user-interface and save myself some time?

UDP message received on FME Cloud is nonsense

I have set up a sensor to send UDP messages to FME Cloud via a GSM modem and it works great as a trigger, but the message that arrives is nonsense. I believe everything is sent as bytes through the serial port so I have no idea whether its possible to format it before sending or the problem is how FME Cloud is receiving the data.

DateTimes on FME Cloud

I was having some problems with DateTimes on FME Cloud (East Coast cluster) and managed to come up with a solution, but decided to do some reading and checking. I can confirm that my instance is set to Central time, as is my admin account. For some reason, DateTimeNow() returns time in UTC with no offset shown. So my main question: is this by design? It's not the same behavior as in FME Server, so I have to make specific adjustments to workspaces - bummer. I did a quick search and came across a very good and detailed article about the subject by @mark2atsafe . Towards the bottom, it states:Timezones and FME Server: I’ve always had problems with timestamps when I’m in one timezone (Central -6:00) but FME is running on a cloud-based server in a another timezone (say Pacific -8:00). Now I don’t have to worry. The DateTimeNow() function lets me specify standard UTC time, so it doesn’t matter where my server is based. I can also ask for local time both with or without timezone. Well, i

ArcGIS Pro Python with FME Cloud?

Is it fair to assume that I won't be able to configure Esri ArcGIS Python with FME Cloud and would have to deploy FME Server instead?

How can I add or reference fonts from an FME Cloud workspace?

I've published a workspace with a TTF file (arial.ttf). I can see the TTF data file in the workspace "files". but when trying to use this font (Arial) in the TextStroker transformer, I get INVALID_PARAMETER_FONT_NAME. What is the correct way to deploy / reference fonts on FME Cloud?

Viewing dashboards outside of FME Server/Cloud admin pages

Hello, Is it possible to view the html dashboard pages outside of the FME Server admin pages? For example I am intrested in writing a custom dashboard to FME Cloud and would like to share a direct link to it with some users, without requiring them to log in to FME Cloud/Server etc. and dealing with the UI. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi There, I am using FME Cloud to translate data into DWG. In the writer settings I provide a folder for the AutoCAD Shape File Folder, which is used in the translation.However the log file also states:No AutoCAD font folder specified. All Text and Multi-Text entities will use the default font file 'default.shx'I expect the writer to use the shx file specified in the AutoCAD Shape File Folder, why is this not happening?

Writing DWG groups

Hi,I am trying to figure out why a translation that works fine on desktop is not working properly in FME Cloud.I know that writing DWG groups is not possible directly from within FME and therefore I have defined the layer groups in the template file. The job on FME Cloud fails (no errors in log) and even with log debug turned on no meaningful information is returned. Last logfile line:2020-10-16 16:06:28 | Processing AutoCAD File... Does this have to do with FME Cloud instance? Does anybody have any good/bad experiences writing into DWG groups on FME Cloud? @markatsafe @daleatsafe @daveatsafe

Is there a size limit on the payload of an Http request received by FMEServer/FMECloud?

I have a workspace published on FMECloud which is triggered by http requests from an api. The request contains a geojson geometry defining an area of interest. With larger geometries I receive an error from FME saying the request payload is too large. Can someone tell me the size limit on request payloads and is it possible to configure it to a larger value?

Where to position FME Server, FME Cloud en FME BYOL/Azure on the IAAS, PAAS, SAAS scale?

Hi, we are in the process of considering FME Server in some sort of Cloud solutions. We formed a group to discuss the issue, and ran into the question where FME Server and related implementations 'fits' in the diagram below:Is FME Server Middleware, in which case it would be part of the environment to be delivered by the serviceprovider in case of a PAAS solution? Or is it 'just' an application, in which case one should turn to a SAAS solution to have it delivered by a serviceprovider? And what is the relation with FME Cloud? And the BYOL constructs that are available on Azure or Google? And the 'documents' (workspaces, automations?)that are contained on the FME Server server, how do they fit in? Anyone having any ideas on this?

FME server upgrade 2019 python libraries

Created a new instance with fme 2019.While testing if the workspaces still work I've encountered different issues.I have a workspace that requires, numpy, laspy,scipy,sklearn.I have created a docker image with ubuntu 18, installed python3 and the necessary libraries and uploaded the files to Resources/Plugins/Python folder( also tried creating the folder python36) The current version of numpy shipped with FME cloud is 1.13.3, when i run my workspaces i keep getting :numpy.ufunc size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 216 from C header, got 192 from PyObjectI've tried adding an upgraded numpy version to the python folder but it will always use the default numpy installation.I've uploaded different versions of scipy, but with no successIf i add the latest version of scipy i get : UserWarning: NumPy 1.14.5 or above is required for this version of SciPy (detected version 1.13.1) Any ideas on how to fix this?

For this to work, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be set to the path of the key file. I have uploaded the file to my FME Cloud instance, but need to know how to set the environment variable.
