I have made a workbench that contains an Emailer. I did not notice this directly, but the Emailer is a Package. I saved the workbench to a network location so my colleagues can run the workbench as well. And wrapped it in a Workspace Runner workbench so the workbench is not open for editing when colleagues run the workbench. But since this year I notice that the WorkspaceRunner fails because the Emailer package is not installed. This Emailer is installed as soon as the Workbench containing the Emailer is opened. My workaround now is adding a Emailer Transformer to the WorkspaceRunner workbench so the Emailer is installed when this workbench is opened. Hope this helps others that use WorkspaceRunners and Packaged Transformers in there workbenches. 

Bulk copy failed on table 'tv.vagnat_framtida' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xc3 0x3aCONTEXT:  COPY vagnat_framtida, line 33This error kept me busy for some hours exploring character encoding in shapefiles, FME and PostGIS. Which did not help. Not until I did some data digging and found the error.The data in a shapefile apparently comes from a qualified geodata store, and some long text fields have been truncated in the conversion to shape, leaving what appears to be incomplete character codes. And this causes PostGIS problems. The error message comes from deep within PostGIS. I have tried to cut a few bytes from the string with SubstringExtractor, but then the whole string became HEX. Very strange. Since it is invalid data, there seems to be no way of catching these characters with any of the FME string tools. And the error appears only in the Postgis writer, not before so it cannot be logged.Basically, I am looking for suggestions

I am trying to set up a database connection to my Snowflake 30-day free trial account. The connection parameters are shown below. When I test the connection, it takes a long time (about 5 minutes), and then get a Read timeout error as shown below. I have no problem login to Snowflake web console using https://IN17188.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com. I use the account "IN17188.us-east-2.aws" in the FME database connection Account Name parameter. I use FME Desktop 2021.1.1. Anybody experienced this issue? I just try to follow the FME - Snowflake tutorial - https://www.safe.com/training/recorded/connect-data-even-geospatial-snowflake/ net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeSQLException: JDBC driver encountered communication error.

Hi. I'm trying to use FME to calculate the distance between a point on the perimeter of a polygon and another point nearby (within 10 miles). I'm using the latitude and longitude coordinate system but I need distances in miles and have not gotten very far on my own. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm already using NeighborFinder but can't seem to get the distances right. Thank you.

Hello FME Community,I have a shapefile that contains an ID column. the ID must be unique, but I have data records that have come twice.Only ID is the same and other columns are different.with DuplicateFilter I filter Duplicate. so I get features that came twice. I would like to know that which feature with which feature have the same ID.Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, I am trying to create a Json schema using the Json Template but I receive the error: JSONTemplater_2 (XMLTemplaterFactory): The following error occurred near line 21, column 20 of the query:JSONTemplater_2 (XMLTemplaterFactory): invalid expression: syntax error, unexpected ":", expecting "," or ")"JSONTemplater_2 (XMLTemplaterFactory): An error occurred while executing the 'PROPERTIES' queryJSONTemplater_2 (XMLTemplaterFactory): The following error occurred near line 6, column 9 of the query:JSONTemplater_2 (XMLTemplaterFactory): An error occurred while executing the process-features functionIf I validate my Json on line seems to be correct but in FME doesn't work.Do you have some suggestion?Attached the file that I am using ThanksMax 

I have brought in an FBX as I need to carry out some coordinate transformations to it as part of our workflows. This is the fbx model in navisworks, units in metres, modelled in EPSG:27700: The model is orientated north, and the top left point is (330213.690, 376187.218, -2.7) When bringing this into FME, the coordinates are multiplied by -1:The same point within FME's data inspector is (-330213.6044, -376187.4125), which is equal (ish) to the above point, but multiplied by -1. The orientation is incorrect but this will be due to the coordinates being multiplied by -1. Is there a reason FME has inversed the coordinates when reading the FBX? Is this typical for reading FBX files? Also - what transformers would be required to make the coordinates positive / *-1 for each xy? Not z, it looks like the z coordinate has the correct sign. Thanks for your time,Tom       

I know the possibilities of headers, italics and bold in creating the workspace app, however I was thinking it would be also nice to give some text different colors. I was trying the markup code from the following stackoverflow link, however the text didn't appear in color on the workspace app :(. So I was wondering whether it's possible to style text in color in the workspace app.  I tried the following methods:<span style="color:blue">some *blue* text</span>.$\\color{color-code}{your-text-here}$ 

i have 4 reader+writer pairs. after the last reader-writer pair runs and completes, how do i get sqlexecutor to run only after the last pairing has completed?

Hello,  i have strange behavior of transformation raster from bil ESRI to ECW in version2. In previous version of FME script was working correctly, but now i receive raster in inncorrect EPSG :6619 instead 3006. In attachment i send simple sample. I need to use version 2 of ECW - due to clients requirements

I have a company website, to which i log in to get my data, the webpage is a .PHP that has several drop down menus for example Data 1, Data 2 , Data 3 etc, if you select Data1 for example, you get a sublist with more files,at the moment i choose a file from the sublist then i click a download CSV button. I have to do the same for over 100 subfiles. I am trying to find another way to achieve this. I was wondering whether someone could have an idea of how i can achieve this in fme? Maybe download the mainfile instead of the subfiles. Thanks,Keller.

Hello,I have a point dataset and I want to make an algorithm that operates like this:(1) Select a point;(2) Remove all surrounding points within a distance, entered as a fixed parameter (eventually this can be done using a bufferer + spatial filter);(3) Store the first initial point in a new dataset and repeat the process for the remaining dataset from step (2) to obtain a second point that will be stored with the first one and so onThe final result is to obtain a point dataset where no distance below a threshold exist ALONG WITH preserving the maximum number possible of pointsThank you very much in advance ! 

Hi, we have raster data (orthophotos) with a ground resolution of 8cm.Is there a possibility to downsample the ground resolution to 20cm? Based on some limitations we sometimes have to use 20cm ground resolution.Does anyone know if something like this is possible with the fme?

Hello guys, I am trying to consum a SOAP API to send data from FME desktop but I am getting the HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error. Here is what I did: I have configured the API request in SoapUI copied the xml request and send it the HttpCaller transformer using the XMLTemplater.  I have enabled the authentication option in the HttpCaller and entered the username/password using the basic type.  Thank you in advance.

Hi! I'm desperately trying to find a way to identify the impact of disabling a specific network on the surrounding networks. So far by using the NetworkTopologyCalculator, I've been able to isolate all my water networks, separated by water valves. But here is an example of what I'm trying to do:If I have to replace the water pipe on the network A, I will close the water valves to isolate it. The impact would logically be that there would be no water reaching networks B-C-D-E. Is there any way for me to dynamically identify this in FME?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all I have a question regarding readers when used with possible empty directories and resulting error messages. In a FME workbench, a CSV reader reads all CSV files within a directory and then processes them. If one or more CSV files are present in the defined folder, the Workbench works perfectly. However, if there are no CSV files in the folder at the time of execution, an ERROR is issued:ERROR |CSV reader: Failed to open file '\\\\Auto-Import\\**\\*.csv' for reading. Please ensure that the file exists and you have sufficient privileges to read it. With the FME Desktop version 2019.2 that we are currently still using, I was able to set the Workbench to continue running even if an error occurred. However, this is certainly not the most ideal solution. Especially it is difficult to detect actual error messages in the log files.The Workbench is automatically executed every hour by the task scheduler. Another problem is that the CSV Reader is part of a Workbench that is sup

It seems that any file with a # in the filename won't download when using the SharePoint online connector transformer. I want to download using the _fullpath method.  Simply --> if the filename is FOO_1 it works. If it's FOO#1 it doesn't. The rejection code is SHAREPOINT_ERROR , the URL it's trying to DL is:SharepointOnlineConnector: Error making request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0//sites/ac[HIDDEN]%20November%20#4.jpg: The resource could not be found.Is there any way to get around this? I have tried the URL ENCODER and STRING REPLACER transformers to try and manually encode the # symbol but it doesn't like this. Presumably because it's trying to encode it "again" I can tell my users to stop using a # symbol in the filename but would rather solve it more elegantly and retain the original name.  Link to transformer:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/sharepointonlineconnector-pkg.htm

Trying to automate some ArcGIS Server monitoring and am struggling to get a token using HTTP Caller. I think there may be a bug on the ESRI end (surprise!). But before I post on their forum, I wanted to pin the FME world. I'm making a POST to here:myserver.domain:6443/arcgis/admin/generateTokenwhich is the same place I go for manually obtaining a token. As query parameters I have:client : requestipf : json as Headers:Content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded Accept : text/plainI have tried both putting username/password in Body and Query. Neither works. If I grab a token manually and pass it in the HTTP Caller as parameter, I have no trouble making a connection to the same URL. Has anyone gotten this to work, or has a clue where I'm going off course? Thanks

In preparation for publishing and running a script on Fme Server, Iam writing the pathnames as follow in fme dekstop for the seed and cell files. The cell file is not red, while on the other hand the filename is not recognized for the seed file.I am not quite sure why that is the case. In the normal writer of v8 this doesn't occur, but then I face other problems in terms undefined macro. The problems don't occur when I use hard pathnames, but then they are not useful when I publish the script to FME server
