Converting .LAS/.LAZ files to DSM/greyscale images

Hey everyone, new to FME. Not a professional in GIS, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on terminology. I'm using this guide and I've followed the instructions, as well as downloaded the provided workbench file, but for some reason, I can't get my .LAS/.LAZ files to convert properly. Using the first method from the guide yields the weird image above. Does anyone know what's wrong? I've tried this with a few files and it doesn't seem that my files are the issue. I've uploaded the project file to this post.

Does FME support reading from Portal for ArcGIS feature service with Azure AD MFA enabled user?

Hi,We have recently enabled MFA on all our Portal for ArcGIS users. When we add a user for reading from Portal for ArcGIS now it fails with a "FMEException: 928201" error. Not sure if this is related to the MFA, but that is the only recent change. We are running FME Cloud if that has something to say. BRAmalie

Feature Reader transformers all fail when published to server

Hi, No feature readers work when published to FME Server: Geopackage, FGDB, AGOL, SQLite, etc. I have tried them all but nothing seems to work. I have also tested this error with very simple connections involving zero spatial or attribute queries to eliminate any sort of other variables. I consistently get an error like this regardless of feature reader type: FeatureReader (QueryFactory): The clause 'IGNORE_NULLS <Unused>' within 'FACTORY_DEF {*} QueryFactory FACTORY_NAME I'm running server version 2020.1.0.1 on Win64and have attempted publishing with 6 different desktop versions just to see if it was a desktop to server compatibility issue (but that did not fix the problem). Any ideas on what might be happening? Upgrading server is a possibility, but not anything I can do in the next 2-3 months. Thanks

Hello, I´m trying to run a workspace in FME Server...it works fine locally but in FME Server shows this error (see image attached). I have verified the FeatureReader Parameters and seems all is good....could you help me with this, please?

Running FME server under domain account - pitfalls?

Hi list.I'm attempting to run our FME server under a domain account, but can't seem to get it right.I've read the admin guide and done the followingprovided full file access to C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer and C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server (using default folders in installation) to the domain account.Stopped the three services (appserver, core, engines), but left database service running.Changed logon on the three stopped services.Deleted the log files from C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\logs\\engine\\currentRestarted the three services.But now the web interface fails, saying it cannot access Core services.I'm sure that I need to do something more, but I'm at a loss about what it is. I've re-read the admin guide, but cannot find anything amiss.Please help.Cheers

There is something I don't understand in the last Zipster's Magic Show

In the last FME World Fair (I know, I'm late) there is this great presentation about pushing FME Server to the limit. I strongly suggest you watch it if you like pushing things to the limit : https://www.safe.com/presentations/zipsters-magic-show-pushing-fme-limits/ I understand that we can have 250 engines per core, so on a machine with 4 cores it makes a total of 1000 engines.At the end of the show @donatsafe challenge @lauraatsafe and @grantarnold to have 10 000 engines on a machine for next year World Fair.What I don't understand is the big deal about that challenge...Why don't they use a 128 cores machine available on AWS ? That way, they could get 32 000 engines (250 engines * 128 cores) and complete more than three times Don's challenge!In my opinion, the biggest challenge here is to pay the machine!Maybe there is something I didn't understand in the presentation though.Please clarify that for me!Thanks !

Hi! How do you upload a binary file (not json or text) to FME Server data folder using Automation external action "Make an HTTP request?"

I know how to do it with a workspace and HTTPCaller and with the Rest API but I would like to know if it is possible directly through the external action : "Make an HTTP request" and if so how.Thanks!

Use IAM Role in S3 Bucket Action in Automation

My customer wants to use the IAM Role when authenticating in an Automation action, writing to an S3 bucket. When building the automation, it is required to specify a AWS Access Key ID and a AWS Secret Access Key. I found some input on IAM Roles for a S3Connector in Workbench, but not on the FME Server external action. Does anyone have experience with this?

FME Server and Sharepoint - Cannot Authenticate

Hi all! I have created a FME Workflow in Desktop which connects and runs fine. I then published the workflow to Server and immediately ran the workflow again for it to work fine...for a short while. After some time, the workflow begins to fail with a '401 - Not Authenticated' error. If I go into Web Connections on FME Server and 'Authorise' the Web Connection, I can enter my Sharepoint username and password before approving the permissions. The next screen then appears totally blank. Behind the scenes, Sharepoint is returning the following error; 'the endpoint only accepts POST requests. Received a GET request.”' I've read and followed this article but to no avail; 'Sharepointonline connector - configuration for FME Server 2019.0 (safe.com)'. Any assistance would be warmly welcomed before I pull my remaining hair out! Thanks, Sean

We have FME server 2020 Deployed, and has been running fine until today. It seems all jobs are now placed into the "Queue" and stay there......i can click on the queued jobs, and "resubmit" them and they execute. Licensing still ahs many months left, and engines are available.I will be thankful for any help.

Is there a way to extract or pass the parameters of a workbench to the notification of a failed process?

Hi team, I have published a workbench to FME Server 2020. I am trying to configure automations to be triggered if the process fails. I want to leverage the parameters of the process ( email, data source etc..) and have FME server send me an email with the parameters entered by the user. Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing issues with Optimizing Memory Usage on FME Server job with 22M records. I'd like to know what part of the process causes that much memory consumption.

Hi Everyone!Here's a part of the log that I'm trying to decode. How to check what exactly is f_71 (PythonFactory)? How to link this to some specific Transformer or part of the FME process?Second question is, why there is no information about peak process memory usage on the FME Server? Locally I can see this value populated in the logfile, while on the FME Server it's always 0kB.

How can i stop Job Priority Warnings

We are using FME desktop 2020 and server 2020. We have a fme server job submitter transformer that creates child jobs to perform a data load. Each of these creates a warning in the system messages "Job 3117686 specifies a priority, but job priority is no longer supported. Use job queue priority instead. Please see: http://fme.ly/KB72058"Looking in the transformer the job priority still exists (although we use job queue specification) and i cannot remove this value. I noticed that at some stage it had been set to 75 but I cannot remove it, only set it to 100. Is this sufficient?

NVIDIA Graphics and FME opening issue

@rahulsharma and I just troubleshoot FME Workbench not opening on a Windows 10 machine that has an NVIDIA graphics card. There were no warnings or anything when trying to get the program to open. The mouse would spin for a second and that was about it. After a lot of trial and error, we found that changing in the NVIDIA Control Panel from "High Performance" graphics to "Integrated graphics", FME opened right up without issue. Hope this helps! Make sure to add each application (even do it for the Help to actually open). If you know of a better way, I'm all ears.

Is there a way to change the default topic my workspace triggers when using the datadownload service?

I have a workspace on FME Server which triggers topics in the case of failing (or succeeding) when running the datadownload service. The topics were chosen when publishing. Now I want to change them, but I don't want to have to open up workbench and republish the workspace. I'd like to do it with the REST API. I can remove or add services from a workspace but I can't see a way to specify the topics. Any ideas?
