How to fix bugged user parameter ?

I had a workspace with 13 user parameters. When renaming them all, I accidentally erased one's identifier, and it duplicated it and the new one is bugged. When I try to save, the workspace crashes. After publishing it on the server, trying to run it shows not a single user parameter. I can not delete it, and it is linked to every single transformer of the workspace (copy pasting any transformer from the bugged workspace to a new one imports the bugged user parameter and therefore corrupts the workspace).

Manage custom paths, Included Data from Writers in Form 2024

Hello,I have previously in Form 2023 added custom paths in the “Edit Data Download Properties → Include Data from Writers” when preparing to upload to Flow.The issue I now have in Form 2024.1 is that after I have published the workspace to Flow or if I reopen the workspace my custom paths are not saved within the workspace, or if it’s saved to Flow as it was in Form 2023. This makes the Republish option button not useful as I can see as I have to rewrite the custom paths. Or have I might missed something? To be clear I belive this only counts for custom paths and the benifit with custom paths is that I can customize how files are organised within the .zipped file from the Data download service.

Seconds to h/m/s but more than 24h

Hi, this must be easy but can't seem to find it...I want to convert duration from seconds to hours, minutes, seconds. So 337759 seconds should be 93h49m19s.I thought the DateTimeConverter should help me, but can't seem to get it right:results in 21h49m19s...I could calculate it myself, but I guess I'm overlooking a setting in this transformer?

selfoverlapping lines

Hello,I have several lines in my data base which are self overlapping. On the the picture you see the vertices and the order when drawn. Vertices 3 and 4 have been drawn before vertex 5 which makes the line self-overlapping or self-intersecting. How can I detect lines in my database which have that kind of problem ? I tried the geometry validator but I noticed that it detects only some of them. So it is not fully reliable in my case. Is there any other transformer ? I thought maybe of calculating the bearing as the change of direction could indicate that problem as well. Thanks for your help. (btw I don’t want any transformer to automatically correct them, I only want to detect them)

Check the value of User Parameter

This is either going to be a very stupid question or a very silly bug.I want to check if MyUserParameter has a value, so I put a Creator and a Tester on my canvas checking whether MyUserParameter does have a value. It tells me it doesn’t, whilst it clearly does! Hmm, what’s going on?Am I being dumb? Why can I not test a User Parameter?I can get it by using a ParameterFetcher, so it’s not a big issue.We recently upgraded from v2023.1 to 2024.1, and I thought this used to work, but I could well be mistaken.EDIT: It does work if I check if MyUserParameter is of type string or when using RegEx. It sounds like the ‘has a value’ and ‘is null / missing / empty’ doesn’t work with user parameters.

PostGIS performance tricks

Recently I put different tables into a PostGIS database. One of these tables contains 23M unique records and does not contain spatial data. I would like to read them into a FME workbench. Do you have some suggestions how I could improve my reading process?Is it possible for example to preselect already a set of columns I need while reading my table using 'SQL to Run before Read'?’ If so do you have a example SQL querry? Is there a performance difference between 'SQL to Run before Read'?’ and the WHERE clause option in the Constraints menu?

XLS->XLS - copy validation formulas?

I am looking to have a workspace run by a workspace runner to parse out some data to be grouped by individual tabs based on an attribute name.i have an excel workbook with a dozen or so sheets, each sheet is a type of mechanical system with 3 columns - Column A is BLD which is a string building name. Column B is System Type which had data validation in place with named table references and Column C is System Name which is a string value.i am using a feature reader with the read formulas checked:i want to have the workspace runner pass a value for BLD and search all of the sheets for matches - for instance, it looks something like this once run: The workspace is finished, except for the writer - i want to create a new workbook for each unique BLD feature and copy from an excel template that has the existing named ranges for the various data validation lists from the original read file - however, i can’t get the validation to copy, nor the sheet with the named ranges.my writer is set up

Run two custom transformer identical in Workspace

Hi,I'm using two SentinelDownloaders in my workspace: one to download data from a specific year and another to download data from the previous year. At the end, my workspace shows a "FAILED" message in the API after completing the first SentinelDownloader. I understand there is a conflict because it's the same transformer being used for different dates in the same execution.How can I run this workspace without problems?Thank´s

Modify relationships for ArcGIS Online view

I am writing a workflow that refreshes data within a hosted AGOL feature service.To enable continuity of service, I have 2 hosted feature services for the same layer. eg. Playgrounds_A and Playgrounds_B. There is a view defined called Playgrounds_View whose source is either Playgrounds_A or Playgrounds_B My workspace plan is to refresh the contents of the ‘non-active’ feature service, and then set the Playgrounds_View to point to it.I have managed this previously with Python for ArcGIS scripts using commands like item.add_relationship() and item.delete_relationship()How can I recreate this functionality in FME workbench ?

Column names on Oracle VIEW doesn't show on FME workbench.

Hi there,I have placed few VIEWS on Oracle Database changing TABLE column names. ie: ID as PLANT_ITEM_IDWhen I connect the VIEW via FME 2023.2.1.0 all column names are showing as what is recorded on Oracle Tables. It is ignoring column names I have set up on VIEWs. How do I get around this issue?I don’t want to use “attribute manager” to change the names. I have already done that on my VIEWs.Is there a way I can see the Column names on VIEWS through FME?thanksRegards,Pushpa

Dynamic workflow, extremely slow

I have a very basic dynamic workbench that is reading data from SQL Server. Before writing data to a postgis database it is changing an attriubte name with SubstringExtractor. But it is extremely slow doing so after almost 3 hours 150 000 objects has been read by the reader. Typically 100 000’s of objects is handled in matters of minutes. It is reading about 25 different feature classes I need to migrate daily.I cant wait hours for the workbench to be complete. 2024-09-27 15:11:02|6056.7| 0.8|INFORM|Reading source feature # 470002024-09-27 15:11:53|6106.9| 50.2|INFORM|Reading source feature # 47500It takes 50 seconds to read 500 features? What is wrong? Why is the process so slow? I cannot understand where the bottle neck is.

However, if I look at the log after job is completed, the "Features Written Summary" section at the end seem to be misleading by show "0", while I know that there are actually features written.Do I need to do any change in my FME workspace to add the count to the summary?

Set the Row Height to 0 on the Feature Type

Hello,For the logged known issue in FME Form “FMEENGINE-82549” with “Excel Writer: Field Names row not written” the solution described is to Set the Row Height to 0 on the Feature Type, as discussed here. But what are the steps to do that? Is it to simply just use transformer “ExcelStyler” and use setttings for “apply style to”? Thanks!

I was wondering where the FME wallpapers are moved to? The old link does not work anymore.https://www.safe.com/support/support-resources/fme-downloads/wallpaper/
