FME Form

I have installed FME Server on a machine called "fmeserver-dev.com" and also used this as the hostname.Later we switched everything to SSL (including the Websockets) and the external web host name to "(https://)fmeserver-prod.com".  Now, everything (Web UI, Services, Websockets...) is working fine, except the Topic Monitoring!  Using the Developer Tools of a web browser, I have identified that there is still a parameter 'webSocketServerName' set to the old hostname "fmeserver-dev.com". This must be causing the issue as the SSL certificate is not configured for that domain. How can I fix this?

Hi there,Can you please help me with this? Every time when a new report came in, I’d have to manually open the “FreatureReader” dialogbox and hit “Ok” (to close) so that the new attributes that are added in new report at the new folder location are emerged. Otherwise, it would just read previous attributes from the new report (in below case, up to the end of June, not the July columns). I’m just trying read an MS Access file that is stored dynamically in different folder each month.   

I am attempting to add a Geocoder transformer to spatialize address data using a published geocoding service on ArcGIS Server. When running the address data to the transformer, it rejects every feature with “Code 403: Access to this resource is not allowed”. The REST URL and Portal credentials are all correct and I am able to get to the service in a browser, as well as access and use the Locator in ArcGIS Pro to geocode addresses. With that being said, I don’t know why access to the resource would be disabled in FME but nothing else. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi!I would like to create a workbench with a lot of flexibility for the users. I use a FeatureReader with a spatial filter. I create a user parameter to chose the system of coordinates. So I would like to use it on the Featurereader but there are no option. Do you know a way to indicate to this transformer the system of coordinates? I suppose the spatial filter will work if the datas are in the same system but I would prefered to force it.Thanks !

I need to warp some data, so I'm using the RubberSheeter. This works fine except that in certain parts of the data I also need to create a gap. In broad terms the situation is as shown here: I need to cut along a line (the red line) and then use the control vectors (green) to pull things apart, leaving an empty void in the middle. What I've done is use a Bufferer / Clipper to remove a little bit from the original feature, along the cut line. Then I've added a bunch of control vectors, making sure they don't start exactly on the cut line but just a little bit on either side. However, FME is still showing data inside the gap and I really don't want to have to manually edit that. Does anybody have a suggestion?

I have had success in connecting to my corporate Sharepoint with the SharePointOnlineConnector using the web connection as set up in this HowTo: How to create a Sharepoint Web Connection (safe.com). Now I want to connect to another Tenant for which I have been granted access, but the connector only presents me with the Safe Template version for my web connection - even though I have set up and succesfully tested a new connection with a new name. I tried testing on a new machine, with no previous connections, and imported the new connection via xml then tried to add the web connection from within the transformer - same issue - the dropdown list doesn't show me the newly created connection (no matter what I call it):Can anyone advise on what needs to be done to connect from a selection of web connections for sharepoint?

What I try to do is to download a raster from a WMTS to use it as a background image for a report. I do not want to download the entire service, only a part to use as background. The result I get is only working on very zoomed out tile matrices, like 04, where the resolution is not useful: On deeper levels the FeatureReader is downloading a lot of tiles, which takes a very long time.The WMTS I use is a Dutch one, in epsg:28992. I wonder if I am doing something wrong, or this is never developed / tested for this coordinate system?The point is on 147513.92, 523126.09.The WMTS is https://service.pdok.nl/hwh/luchtfotorgb/wmts/v1_0?The Layer is Actueel_orthoHRAttached the 2023 workspace. 

Hi,I would like to merge polygons based on area up to a certain point. For example if I had 1000 polygons I would like to reduce that number to 100 keeping them as close as possible in size to one another. Does anyone know if this is possible in FME?Thanks for any help!B

Hello, I need to switch to a new machine. I save my workspace files under a designated directory, which has been transferred to the new machine. I am wondering if there is any important configuration file would need to copy over (e.g. some database connection, web connections, where those info stored?) and where usually to find the file?I am using FME workbanch 2023.2.3.Thanks. 

After upgrading FME Server from 2022 to 2023.1 my existing workspaces have started failing due to the following error:Python Exception <TypeError>: init() takes at most 2 arguments (4 given)ARCGISPORTALFEATURES writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsThe same workspace runs correctly locally on FME Desktop (both 2022 and 2023) and I have tested reuploading the WS from FME Desktop 2023 to the Server but without success.I tried creating an entirely new workspace in FME 2023 that should just write a single object using the Portal Feature Service Writer. It failed with the same error on both Desktop and Server when writing to a referenced feature service but was successful with a hosted feature service.In summary:Original workspace (writing to referenced feature service with Portal writer)  FME 2022 FME 2023 Desktop Yes Yes Server Yes No  New workspace in FME 2023 with Portal writer  Referenced feature service Hosted feature service Deskt

Hi I am new to FME and here as well…I am trying to use a PDF that has an image and I want it to use FME ( not sure which one) to export it to TIFF the same as you see in PDF ? Is that possible for me to do that ?

Is it possible to upload a file as Multipart Upload without first writing it to the filesystem?I have this working:But this requires to first write the attribute to a file and then using the filepath to upload.I tried base64 encoding the binary attribute and uploading.

FME kullanarak cad dosyalarını gis dosyalarına nasıl dönüştürebilirim?

Currently the OpenAIVisionConnector (version 6) requires an OpenAI API Key and there is no possibility to adjust the endpoint.I hoped the transformer would be adjustable, but it’s password protected…I was wondering if it is possible to offer a setting where the end user can self set an endpoint. Bigger companies have the tendency to run their own cloud, and ours is no difference here.We for instance use Azure OpenAI, but with open source AI models e.g. Llama getting more and more capable there might be a valid point to give the end user the possibility to adjust the endpoint.It might be a bit uphill, but if there would be the option to chose between an API Key, and a Bearer token; that would be awesome!What do others think about that?

Hi,I am trying to extract the four corner coordinates of a tif file using the RasterPropertyExtractor.What I need are the coordinates of the data extent of the image without Nodata, what I get are the coordinates of the full extent of the image. I guess somehow I have to make the existing Nodata “0” to “real NoData”. Any help is appreciated.Thanks 

Hello Safe Software Community,I work for Riteway Towing INC, a leading towing company in Queens, NY. We're exploring ways to enhance our operations, particularly in managing our fleet of tow trucks and providing timely roadside assistance. Given the complexity of NYC's traffic and the high demand for 24 hour towing, we need a robust solution for real-time data integration and route optimization.Can FME help us integrate various data sources (like traffic updates, GPS data, and service requests) to streamline our dispatch processes and improve response times? Additionally, has anyone implemented FME for similar logistics and fleet management tasks? Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!Olivia Marie - Manager at Riteway Towing NYC

Is it better practice to use  import fmeparam = fme.macroValues[‘parameterName’]orimport fmeobjectsparam = FME_MacroValues[‘parameterName’]in Python scripted parameters and why?

Hi,I’m attempting to create attributes from an unstructured html table.Looks like this… The table is originally a Word .doc, that I saved as a .html file so I could read it in FME. For example, I’d like to create an attribute (AttributeCreator) that selects based on row number … eg “Survey Authority” = Col1 row4or“End Date” = Col2 row8This there a way I can do this ?thanks  

what can cause a process to run on the desktop and then restart on the server? have you had similar problems?

I have two table that I am trying to keep in sync. I want a target table to match a source table. But I am trying to avoid deleting all rows from the target and reloading it. The source table is in our CIS (customer information system) Oracle database and the target is in our GIS Esri Oracle database. I am using a CRC calculator to find rows that are identical. Then I have a writer to delete rows from the target that have been updated in the source and to delete rows that no longer exist in the source. Then I have a second writer to insert rows that exist in the source but do not exist in the target or have been updated in the source. The delete writer is based on a single key column.Okay, so it is important that the delete writer commits before the the insert writer. I have tested it and the delete writer does appears to commit first. The tables are synced properly and the FME logs show the delete writer committed first. So, my question is this: Can i count on the the delete writers a

Is there a way to obtain a list of unchanged values then explode the list afterwards similar to how change detector can have an output list for changed values. Below is the sample workflow I’m trying to do but for unchanged values  

Hi,I currently work with the Cesium 3DTiles writer and stumpled upon some requests asking for support for the DRACO compression.I tried to do apply the compression afterwards using ‘3d-tiles-tools’ with no luck. So I took a deeper look on the b3dm Files using ‘3d-tiles-tools analyze’ and it looks to me like it’s already DRACO compressed. ‘3d-tiles-tools analyze’ gives me:{ "asset": { "generator": "FME 2022.2.5.0", "version": "2.0" }, [...]"meshes": [ { "primitives": [ { "attributes": { "_BATCHID": 4, "NORMAL": 2, "POSITION": 1, "COLOR_0": 3 }, "indices": 0, "material": 0, "mode": 4, "extensions": { "KHR_draco_mesh_compression": { "bufferView": 0, "attributes": { "_BATCHID": 3, "POSITION": 0, "NORMAL": 1, "COLOR_0": 2 } } } } ]

Hi, Just was hoping for tips on Converting DWG to GeoJSON - is there any one who can lend an explanation I’m attempting the below and it’d be great if someone could offer a high level understanding / approach.  

I have three lines coming from CAD, I have read them and I would like to use “Create Routes”, instead I have used the measure generator. However, the measurements are wrong, and I suppose because on the way the vertices of the line were drawn (in an illogical order).By using “Create Routes” I could select the coordinate priority (lower left, lower right, upper left, upper right) to tell it to start counting from that point onwards (because the coordinate priority will be different per line). Is there a way that the same can be done in FME? Thanks!
