The Geodatabase is newer than the ArcGIS installed on this machine

I'm trying to run an old project in Desktop 2020 and keep running up against the error "The Geodatabase ... is newer than the ArcGIS installed on this machine. As a result the Geodatabase cannot be opened"Log file shows it checks out a license from ArcGIS 10.6.1 but I have ArcGIS 10.8 installed, although there is a Desktop10.6 folder in ArcGIS/Program files as well.Can I 'force' FME to select a 10.8 ArcGIS license or is there another work around?

My question is in two parts. I am having to insert Excel spreadsheets from OneNote to FME in order to correctly format them for upload to an actual DB. However, due to how the information has been entered in OneNote multiple pieces of information

that should be in separate fields are in the same cell. So, how do I remove peoples job titles that are sharing the name field and place them in a field of their own and is their a standard FME practice that will target duplicate entries into Excel sheets? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FME 2021.2.6 64-Bit reading/writing Esri ArcSDE 10.8.2: Issue with missing BG Geoprocessing

I successfully can read/write Esri Arc SDE (Geodatabase) with FME 2021.2.6 64-Bit and ArcGIS 10.8.2 + Esri BG Geoprocessing installed. So far so good. If however ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 is also installed in the same enviroment, problems arise and an error message appears, that "BG Geoprocessing is missing" and needs to be installed. What is the issue here ? How can it be solved ?It seems only uninstalling ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 solves the problem, but I need ArcGIS Server for other reasons/applications. B.T.W.: ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 is the corresponding version to ArcGIS 10.8.2, in case you wonder about the version mix ;-) Thanks for any clue about this Michael

FeatureReader select multiple files with condition

I use a FeatureReader to read multiple shape files from a .zip. The FeatureReader run in FME-Server. A published parameter is used as 'Dataset' (i.e. the FME server path to the .zip file). 'Feature Types to Read' is empty to read <All Feature Types> because I don't know the exact name of the provided shape files per monthly run. The set up works pretty well. the Reader loops over all shapefiles in the zip and the records are provided through the <Generic> port as intended. Now I have the following challenge:One group of shapefiles in the .zip are point classes and the name starts with POINT_****.shp. Another group are lines and the name start with LINE_***.shp.Question: Is there any option to read only one group with my FeatureReader setting? I tried to play with wildcards in the File/Filter field of the 'SelectMultiple...' control but with no success My current mitigation is to use two FeatureReader. The first one is only reading schema and the

Different results for the same polygon overlap

In this workspace, the results of AreaOnAreaOverlayer (using the default tolerance) and SpatialRelator (using a custom DE-9IM matrix) are different. I suspect it's a precision issue with the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer but it's curious that the transformer that doesn't allow changing the tolerance (SpatialRelator) is the one that works fine.

How do you create geometry from an array of coordinates?

Hi,I have array with geometry type and coordinates. How can I easily make geometry out of it? I could make a wkt text with string replace but I suspect it could be easier. The string with geometry type and coordinates is (shortened):{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[[[[155469.406,463438.624],[155469.253,463444.217],[155467.196,463444.174],[155467.077,463444.172],[155462.4]4,408.

Trimming invalid unicode

Hi All, I have a string that ends with a couple of characters that cause PostGreSQL to fatally terminate the process when it receives them. Unfortunately I'm not certain that the string /always/ ends with these characters or I'd use the substringExtractor.   I get this error: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xc0 0x80  So what I'd like to do is trim them. The problem is - How to do that without resorting to Python?  I can't just copy/paste them into an attributeTrimmer because FME represents these with the special "replacement character" ? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_%28Unicode_block%29#Replacement_character - meaning what the trimmer is searching and looking to replace is that special unicode character (?), not the actual ones that I want to remove.  If I go into the source database and select the character in it's original encoding and paste that, it just pastes a space.  There's nothing in the AttributeTrimmer docs a

Custom transformer parent name is missing when transformer type is an external transformer

I want to check my FME processes using the FMW reader. I noticed that when reading transformers, the value in the attribute field "custom_transformer_parent_name" is missing if the transformer is an "ExternalTransformer". Is this a bug? Most of the transformers where this error occurs are custom transformers I created myself.

Working on FME Workbench but not working on FME Server

Hello everyone! First time using and writting something in community. I apologize if this is not appropriate place to put this question and also if I'm not going to write it based on some rules. Anyhow: Long story short, I have FME workflow which is working how it should on Workbench. But when I publish it on FME server, for some reason it doesn't want to use all readers or writers are not working properly.  Readers:3 excel1 csv1 mdbWriters:1 excel Result from FME workbench: Result from FME server: As you can see, worksheets in results are different. I believe I did everything correct with setups in readers and writers (if needed, I can provide screenshots on how it looks like). Tried also to make new Readers/Writers. Tried to make different repository and put it there. Also weird warnings that appear after the workflow has been runned:  Again, I apologize if I missed the place to post this, or also if I didn't write this question correctly.
