FME Flow

Hi Everyone, I have a Json file that i want to join to a shapefile. The json file has one row of data and i want this to be added to every row in the shapefile (the shapefile has other fields that will be updated by another shapefile). The fields I want from the JSON file are already in this shapefile. Thanks in advance and hope that makes sense to you all

Hello, I am trying to find some resources on creating hyperlinks, but I've yet to find anything helpful. I have an input csv with URLs to a corporate sharepoint site that I'd like to convert into clickable text, then write out to File Geodatabase. Can you provide me with some guidance please?

Hi all,I am wondering can FME find a way to list all feature classes used in my ArcGIS Pro map file? If not can it do it with ArcGIS Desktop files i.e. .mxd? I am struggling to find a way to do this without possibly Python

My local Esri reseller in The Netherlands makes available specific basemaps for its dutch users. Their extent, content and coordinate system have been customized as such. But, more importantly, they are supplied from a different URL than the world basemaps by Esri Inc.The latter are hosted from services.arcgis.com, but the ones I would like to use as a background map are hosted from services.arcgis.nl.The Background Map dialog allows me to either configure a standard web map service, like ArcGIS Online (in this case: arcgis.com). The best choice here, I should think, is "Others".But then the dialog acts like a Reader configuration and I can only choose an ArcGIS feature service, which is not the right one for the basemaps.So, I tried the option "Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Map Service" for the source, and filling in the URL in the "Map List" textbox:

We have a FME 2020 workspace using python 3.7+ running successfully on Desktop.When running on FME Server 2020 (FME Server for Docker 2020.1.3.0 build 20632 linux x64) the workspace failed due to the python version loaded by the FME Server engine (python 3.6. coming with the image). It looks like python 3.6 is the most current for Ubuntu 18.04 The question is: Is there any recommended way (by safe) to enable python 3.7 in the environment we have? thanksKlaus

We have to access .jxl files from trimble connect, Till now we are using FTPCaller in the reader dataset where .jxl were stored in the FTP site now we have to access these files direcly from trible connect cloud. Could somebody provide your views to resolve this issue.

I'm new to FME. And I have a shapefile. The *.shp is footprint of a building. I want to give an extrusion value to it manually. And then write it as a CityGML file(*.gml). So, briefly, I want to make a very simple prism with an extruded shapefile. Could you please give me an information about this?

We get the following errors: 2020-10-29 17:09:30 | Python Exception <ImportError>: No module named fmeobjects2020-10-29 17:09:30 | Failed to import `fmesite' During installation i did not choose to install python2.7 because arcgis desktop 10.4.1 is already installed on the server. Also i encountered never issues with python before during previous upgrades (2018,2019). I already tried to run a repair but i can't select the option to install python2.7 during this process.I found this:FME Server 2018.1 and later<FMEServerDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Use Custom Python <32|64>" true<FMEServerDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Python Interpreter <32|64>" c:/<path_to_dll>/python27.dll<FMEServerDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Custom Pytho

Hi,I have a problem to trigger a command via System Caller on the FME Server. In the log appears the following:  It triggers an .exe with Parameters, which are reference to FME-Server Resource Directory. If we start the process local via FME Workbench, it works without troubles and do the job. If we trigger the same directly on the Server via cmd.exe or batch-file it works as well without problems. For any kind of help I would be grateful 

I am using the Directory and File Pathnames reader and I receive the warning. No files found in folder '____' using glob pattern '**/*' with glob filter 'ANY'. No features will be read.However, there are clearly folders in this location   To ensure it wasn't security issues, I tested the Adobe Geospatial PDF reader to read a PDF within the folder and it can read the contents perfectly. Does anyone have any idea why I can't read any directories or pathnames?  

What are the versions for the third party components used in FME Server? Database Server? Application Server?

Hei, we have some older FME server (2017+2018) which we would like to upgrade to newest version.What OS

Hello,By default, the location of FME temporary files in the system temporary directory is on some Windows versions defaults to C:\\temp or under the user local temp directory (i.e. C:\\Users\\mark\\AppData\\Local\\Temp). There is a way to change the location of temp files using these methods : https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-temp-environment-variableThe problem is we need administrator rights to make these manipulations. FME users doesn't have always the administration rights. In my case, setting the location right directly from the WorkBench (in the FME options menu for exemple) would be very helpful : Do you think it can be a good idea? Is there any project to ease the setting of FME Temp files in a future version of FME?Thank a lotRonan Jarno 

I am trying to set up Topic Monitoring on FME Server and the service fails to connect, the FME Server is running on Amazon EC2 instance. I have opened port 7078.

Hi all, Is there any possibility to create a photo application where a user can take a picture out on the field?  We are looking to see if there alternative options outside ESRI due to the licence cost.

So imap is not available on the company email.SMTP is also not allowed.I thought an FME Server app would work, but the company phone does not have VPN.So what can I do to kick off the workflow? Because it expects some values which needs to be provided by the user.Would appreciate any ideas.

Hi all.I installed version 2020.0 originally, and when 2020.1 was released, I opted to upgrade the engines only. This worked out fine.But the web interface GUI is still 2020.0, and so any improvements here are not available. This is probably not an issue now, but will be when 2021.0 is released.Are there any concerns when upgrading FME Server fully ? Will all setup be kept in place ? Are there any post-install tasks needed ?Cheers.

This has me stumped. I have a Workflow that has a Parameter --SourceDataset_FFS, which has got 3 Filename Path strings in it corresponding to 3 input FFS files. The Parameter itself is of a Type: "Filename (Multiple)" with a Default value: "C:\\ArcGIS\\Water Script Working\\DEMFFS\\ELEV_DEM_1.ffs","C:\\ArcGIS\\Water Script Working\\DEMFFS\\ELEV_DEM_2.ffs","C:\\ArcGIS\\Water Script Working\\DEMFFS\\ELEV_DEM_3.ffs" Now, running the FMW in WorkBench runs fine, and it passes to FME.exe the Parameter properly formatted by splitting the file names up at the comma delimiter by adding enclosing "" and adding spaces as such:--SourceDataset_FFS """"""C:\\ArcGIS\\Water Script Working\\DEMFFS\\ELEV_DEM_1.ffs"" ""C:\\ArcGIS\\Water Script Working\\DEMFFS\\ELEV_DEM_2.ffs"" ""C:\\ArcGIS\\Water Script Working\\DEMFFS\\ELEV_DEM_3.ffs""&qu

I'm running FME 2020.1 (desktop and server). In my workspace, I have a published parameter with a range clause (set to greater than 0). In desktop, I cannot start a translation when I enter a 0 for this published parameter. However, it is possible to submit a job on FME server with the value 0 passed for this parameter. The job on FME server runs succesfully, whereas I'd expect an error because of the invalid parameter value. The output of the job is not correct, however. Am I missing something here? It seems like parameter checking is not consistent between desktop and server...

We use a development gmail account to send automatic emails through the emailer. We have a number of processes that will run, then send a notification to a user via gmail.  Our development gmail account normally just sends emails, so we don't check it very often. I checked it today and saw this message:  Can someone from FME confirm that we can still use FME to access our gmail account and send emails after the 8th of July? Are there extra security settings that we need to enable on our gmail account to continue sending emails through the emailer? Has anyone else received this email? We have received this email from Google on another dev gmail account, so it is not unique to just the one account.  Thanks :)

Is it possible to get all the items in all repositories with a single URL using the FME Server REST API? I understand how to get a list of repositories or the items in a single repository but not all items at once. The only option I can think of is to get the repositories and then loop through them one at a time to get the items. Hoping I'm missing a simpler solution.  Aaron

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

I was wondering if anyone tried/experimented with running FME Server on Raspberry Pi 3. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this question.Thank you,Alexander
