FME Form

Hi,Since this morning since FME Desktop 2022.0, I can no longer read or write to an ESRI geodatabe. All the FMEs in my company are concerned. The error message is : "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility setting. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http:/ /fme.ly/qua for more details". ArcGis Desktop 2.9 is installed on my machine and the licenses are up to date.An idea?Thanks

Hello, i need to georeference 800 maps.Every map is from a grid that is 1km x 1km.From the Scanning and the old paper it can be that the Map has a angle just like showing in the example picture below. Is it possible to get the coordinates of the 4 Red points and set them to the coordinates that the Picture should have from the grid? I know how to do it with the bounding box but i dont know how to deal with the transparency.  or is there a better way to make the georeferencing of 800 picutres more easy? 

This is the preview result in cad and fme

Hi, Does FME support Quickbase data reading and writing? Thank you, 

I ran an FME workbench to create gdb for spatial and non-spatial data (approximately 25 data layers). The process ran successfully and created gdb which has the expected size. Now, when I try to open the gdb, it only shows one table. Although, the log file shows that it reads and writes all the layers successfully. If someone has faced the same issue, I really appreciate your insight on the same.

Hi everyone, I'm currently looking to use the Ressource or Network Directory trigger on FME Server automation to trigger a workbench when new file are added to a file.  The file type is DWG. With a DWG file, there is 3 other file that are attached to this file. How can I specify to the directory watcher to only look for new DWG file and not the attached file. Right now, my workspace is launch 4 time because of it. Thank you in advance, Ian

The Mapbox vector tiles (MVT) writer has parameters for minzoom and maxzoom. Is it possible to make the writer read these parameters from an attribute in incoming features? In addition to z0 - z22 , you can also select "Source" in the writer parameters, but there is no documentation on what "Source" means.

Hello I want it to print an attribute data in the 1st point to the area specified in the 2nd data, can you support me? The distance between two vertices is 6 meters Not:Sorry I don't have a common column for join 

Hallo! I have a general question about the dll's on fmeserver. There seem to be a lot of people having problem with this, but I cannot really find a good solution for it. In my company we have many scripts running on the server (2017.1.2.1 build 1775.) In my case I have made sure to use the same version when I develop in fme workbench.Often we have .dll's that can be found but not loaded, and the script doesn't do its job. This causes frustration for our customers. (An interesting perspective is that we didn't have any problems in our test-server, but they started right away on the production-server). We have tried to analyse if there is any systematics in this (specific scripts running just before, changes in python-version, engine-specific etc., but with no good results).Is there a way to get by with this problem? /Anne

 I get a very vague error when running it: " Error running translation." and no other details. I have over 60 GB of space on the drive so it can't be a matter of space. Also 16 GB RAM and closed all other applications.

We would like to inventory our FME Server on all input and output data from our database. We have setup a workspace that calls the FME REST API and reads all input/output, but there is no way to read other transformers as it seems. Is there a way to read FeatureReaders/Writers from all the workspaces in FME Server somehow? Also we would like to get a list of pythoncallers and systemcallers etc.

Hi, I am new to the FME desktop. I am reading data, for example, 10 rows from my database (SQL non-spatial) transforming it to JsonTemplater and sending it via HTTPCaller. It is working fine. Therefore, there is a constraint to sending only batches of 100 rows per JSON file. I have already tried the decelerator but the decelerator only delays the rows. Could somebody help me? Thanks Raphael Yamada

We have an application base on .Net framework 4, and we invoked some APIs within FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll to run fmw file. Currently, we are developing a new version application with .Net 6. My question is how to invoke the API in .Net 6? Thank you.

Hello,I need to create a bounding box with 5-8 vertex for my polygones. The BoundingBoxReplacer has 4 vertex only. I tried the HullReplacer, but it creates too many vertex - 10-20. But need only 5-8 vertes around my polygone.Do you have an idea?Thank you anyway.Regards

I am running into an issue while trying to import a 3D model made in SketchUp into ArcGIS Pro. My planned workflow was to: Reproject the spatial reference of the .skp file from XY-M to NAD83 CSRS Zone 10.Deaggregate the mass buildings to individual buildings.Convert the .skp (SketchUp) to .dae (COLLADA)Use the Import 3D Files 3D Analyst Tool in ArcGIS Pro to import the .dae model into Arc. Once imported into ArcGIS Pro, the spatial reference of the model appears to be in NAD83 CSRS Zone 10, but the model still ends up in the middle of the ocean, as if it didn't change projections. How should I go about importing the models so they end up in the correct location? Will I have to geo-reference each model? Thanks!

Hi!I am a beginner and trying to calculate a histogram showing point cloud density. I succeeded in creating a bar histogram with the ChartGenerator, however, I have problems with the label, especially the x axis. The x axis shows the number of points 1...394. As you can see the x tick interval is probably 1, but of course I would like to change this to a bigger interval The only problem is that the x and y tick interval is greyed out. Does anyone know why and how I can activate this? I upload an image showing the histogram I get as well as the properties of the ChartGenerator. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am facing a cache issue with Autocad file using Workspace App - FME 2022.2.0.0. Build 22765 1. I created and published a workspace that reads a DWG file2. I created a Workspace App.3. I upload an Autocad file to my app and runs the workspace. -> OK4. I make some modification on the DWG file on my machine and save edits5. I re-upload the Autocad file to my app and runs the workspace -> NOK. The workspace runs with the non edited Autocad file...6. I go to the App interface and click CTRL + SHIFT + R in order to clear the cache.7. I upload the edited Autocad file and runs the workspace -> OK, the workspace reads the edited Autocad file. Is there another workaround I can use instead of clearing the cache ? I don't want my users to rename their Autocad file after edition.

Trying to figure out how to do that with FME Server 2022.2.3Have the user fill a form ( my guess: Server App with User Parameters)Validate the data entered by the user (lookup into a database for existing value)If the data is good, process the data and confirm the user that the processing succeeded.If there are any errors in the user input, the user should be prompted to correct the input and submit for validation again.When data is submitted correctly, an email is sent to the supervisor with a link that will allow him to validate and complete extra data fields (such as authorization number)I thought that I would be able to do this with Server Apps, Automations or Webhooks, but I can't figure out how to direct the user to a "second step" input .Any Idea is welcome :) Thank you.

The way i currently have it working is a 2 step process where Step1 I use the input FGDB as my reader ---> data joiner to populate my missing field ---> write out to a temp FGDB. Step 2 i use this temp FGDB as my reader to write to my SDE connection where i truncate and load it in to update. I'm trying to find a more way to make this more of a streamlined process if possible?

I would like to know is FME is provide AWS Window AMI ? That will be great step.

Hi! I’ve recently installed and licensed FME Desktop Esri Edition (on 32Bit) on a VM within an isolated network. I need to use the ArcSDE Geodb Reader of FME, to have access to Network and Relationship information, and as a pre-requisite I’ve also installed the ArcGIS Desktop (by default on 32Bit). I have not yet licensed the ArcGIS Desktop that I’ve installed along with the FME. Still, I can call and start to configure the ArcSDE Geodb Reader.My goal is to connect to several ArcGIS VMs within the same isolated network. I’ve received a bunch of .sde database connection files that I’ve used in the configuration of the ArcSDE Geodb Reader. I do not know exactly if these VMs that I’m trying to connect to are running just a database or have ArcGIS software installed and licensed as well (like ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server). I have little knowledge about the ArcGIS architecture. I know that there are several ArcGIS models dispersed on a bunch of VMs.My problem

Hi, I have a big csv file with points that I want to transform to lines. The Linebuilder works fine when you have attribute that controls when to build a new line. But what is the approach if I want to start a new line when the next point is far away?

Hello, I am trying to read an excel file with FeatureReader but my excel file has an extra row before the true header row.  Row 1: Report TitleRow 2: Header RowRow 3-N: Data Is there a way to skip over the first row when reading in the file with FeatureReader? Thank you

I have a workspace that accepts both a raster input and a point vector input. I want to get the value of the raster at every single point. I know that the vector features will always be provided in WGS84 latlongs, but the raster might be any arbitrary coordinate system.  The simplest solution is to reproject the raster to WGS84. However, raster reprojection is very expensive compared to reprojecting a few hundred points. I want to be able to temporarily reproject the points to whatever CRS the raster is in. What is the best approach to this in FME?  So far I have been able to use the coordinate system extractor to set the crs as an attribute on the raster feature, but I'm struggling to get this single attribute from the single feature to use to set the reprojector input. Things I have tried unsuccessfully:Python scripted parameter (can't find a python API class that can load the raster and look at the CRS)Set a p

Hi all,I have issues using FeatureReader transformer when reading all .xlsx files from folder. During execution of the entire workbench it will load just couple of them. But when I use Run From This (from FeatureReader) it will load all files.I'm using FME Desktop 2022.2 version. Thanks,Bogdan
