Is it possible to run FME from the command line WITH the name of a file (not the workbench file) to be processed as a parameter? (ie C:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw inputFile.xlsx)

I am trying to come up with a way to use FME Desktop to process files that will be automatically exported from a system and will likely be named with a timestamp (eg filename20230512132945.xlsx). The goal is to create an automated process to handle these files as the appear. I already run FME Desktop from the command line (via windows Task Scheduler), but I am wondering if there is a way to do it and also specify the name of the file I want to have read as a parameter? Something like C:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw inputFile.xlsx I don't think I am going to be able to count on these files having the same name every time, otherwise I could just run the workbench (c:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw) I'd be grateful for any suggestions. I would happily try to do this with FME Server but it is not currently available to me. Thanks, Mike

Adding a new label for las file based on clipping of points

I am trying to add an extra label for each point of the point cloud based on whether or not they were located inside or outside the gml building model. When I clipped a model with my point cloud data with "Clipper", it only identified that point cloud was outside and that point cloud data was identified as 1 feature own on its. How do I label/mark each point in the point cloud whether they clipped with the model or not and then save it as an extra information/variable in a new las file.

FME 64bit with 32bit ArcGIS

We have been using ArcGIS 10.8.1 (32bit) with arcFM solution and FME 2020.2 (Desktop and Server) (32bit). We use FME to read and write to the esri geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb). I am trying to update FME to the newest version 2022.2.5 (64bit).I read that it should be possible to have 32bit ArcGIS and 64bit FME after installing background geoprocessing. However when I am starting the workspace with python startup script for fetching the licenses for ArcGIS and ArcFM I get error: "Python Exception <com_error>: (-2147221164, 'Class not registered', None, None)". This error comes up using fmepython310 + pywin32 library installed. Pywin32 also includes the pythoncom and it is installed the same way than in the previous version.I have also tried to use the 32bit fmepython37 from the older FME version, but FME 2022 is not recognizing it and automatically switches back to python 3.10.

Is it possible to use Web Connection authentication in the HTTPCaller transformer to access ArcGIS Online REST APIs without additional steps to obtain a token?

This may be a little simple but it seems not to work for me, I have a workspace that reads a .csv file and runs a process. Ideally i would like to move this csv file once the process is complete and rename it by date. What i have tried so far,After the reader i created a junction and I put one process to run through the whole workspace and another arrow i put to a DateTime stamper, DateTimeConverter and created the attributes filecopy_source_dataset, filecopy_dest_dataset and filecopy_dest_filename, (based on several tutorials i have been reading.) I then use the filecopy writer to move the file. The file gets moved but the name is not changed and i get a warning that --> Ignoring the destination filename .. because the source dataset...was not a file. Destination file names are only used when the source dataset is a file. For some reason the exact name i did set (@Value(Datum)_@Value(filecopy_dest_filename)) is shown in the written summary but not on the folder, anyone with an ide

DataDownload service - when no e-mail

Looking at the regular Sample\\austinDownload.fmw.When running this through the GUI with an actual email in Email result to field. The workspace will run, create a datadownload url and notify the topics DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE or DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS and send e-mail. That is nice When I DONT write an e-mail. It will NOT notify the topics and it will not send an e-mail. So far so good. However how to replicate this through the REST-API of FME Server? I found the 8 year old thread regarding this: Using REST API submit, how to send email (safe.com) However have there been some changes on the REST API the last 8 years to better handle this?

Why does FME freeze at random ?

Hello!The FME im using: FME Workbench 2022.2.5 Im a student and using our floating license at school. No matter how big/small the script is, it will just freeze at random.If i place a simple node or hit export, the program just locks up and i have to either wait forever or just exit the program. My computer is quite powerful so that shouldnt be the issue... Is there anyway for me to share more information that could help solve this issue?

PointOnLineOverlayer and acquiring attributes of points at both ends of the line

I have street centerlines (Line Feature Class) with intersection points (Point Feature Class) the end of each line. I am using the PointOnLineOverlayer and only the attributes of one of the end points is included in the output. Using the picture here as an example, I want the Line output from the PointOnLineOverlayer Transformer to include the attributes something like this:A St will include attributes of Pt 1 and Pt 3; B St will include the attributes of Pt 3 and Pt 2;C St will include the attributes of Pt 3 and Pt 4;Currently, here is my Line output:A St includes attributes of Pt 3;B St includes attributes of Pt 2;C St includes attributes of Pt 3. Any ideas on how to ensure each Line includes the attributes of the points at each end of the line instead of only a point at one end of the line?

Maximo Connector - what do you want it do?

Hi All,We are currently working on Maximo connector transformer(s), and have been successful in connecting and querying a Maximo database. However, there is an incredible amount of functionality available through the APIs, and I would like to initially concentrate on what is most useful to our users.So I am requesting your feedback on how you would like to use FME with Maximo. Do you want to add Assets or Work Orders? Do you want link Maximo info to your GIS or BIM data. Do you want to do complex queries? This is a chance for you to shape the design of a new series of transformers.Detailed uses cases would be greatly appreciated.

Write navigation modules such as route/routeNodes/RouteSegment to IndoorGML

I want to make a transformation from IFC to IndoorGML.The core modules of IndoorGML can be written correctly, but I can write any point geometry or line geometry into routeNodes/routeSegments which are the navigation extension modules in IndoorGML.I think if I can know the right parent class of "Route", the routeNodes/routeSegment inherited from it can be written correctly.Hope someone can help me!!!!I can't find the actual inheritance relationship in IndoorGML schema!

Any IDEA / LOGIC to Extract Longest Direction and Angle of Front Facing CUBE ?

I could extract XYZ of each Corner (4 XYZ point of cube corner) or Mid-Point of each Surface (1 XYZ point) or Center Point of 3D Cube (1 XYZ point ). The challenge here is Once ALL the XYZ are extracted, there is no way to tell which XYZ belongs to which i.e. Front side , Back side , Top , Bottom, Left Side or Right Side (6 side) Also where there are lot of 3D cubes around, i believe there we need to create unique_id for each coordinates using GlobalId+Name+ XYZ ID the idea is to extract L direction (Longest Direction ) and F direction (Angle facing) in below format

Transformator to show all attributes without values/with only empty fields

Hi all,I am working with a huge database with 300+ layers. Many layers are the same for each province and they have the same structure in their attribute table. Many of the attributes are empty but that differs from state to state (f. ex. height might be empty in 20 provinces and in 5 there is a value). Is there a transformator that shows me which attributes are completely empty for each layer and allows me to filter them without checking each attribute for each province individually? That would be a great help.Thank you all :)

I'm wondering how I can force the data into the table?

Create a primary integer autoincrement key in sqlite

I can set an index on an integer or even a unique index, but there is no type for a primary key or autoincrement. How can I specify this? I could do this with an SQL Create expression. Can I use SQL to create a schema?I am adding a changeset with new records using insert but I need an OID column for ArcGIS to be able to use the table/featureclass separate from the real ID.
