Hi, I'm trying to do two things. Firstly, trying to add GDA 2020 zone 56 Australian Height Datum (AHD) to las files that currently have no projection. Second, trying to add GDA 2020 zone 56 ellipsoid (GRS 1980) height to las files that currently have no projection. I'm able to reproject each las files using the reprojector functions, but this is for the horizontal coordinate systems not vertical height. Is there a way to add AHD and ellipsoid heights to the las files within FME? Thank you for your time

Hi, I have a large point dataset and line dataset in ArcGIS. For each point A, I need to 1) create point B on the line which is nearest to the point A. Ensure point is snapped to line2) Generate a line between points A and B I have tried using NeighborFinder, with the line set as the base. However this doesn't create an additional point dataset on the line. Any suggestions

Recently I had to move FME to a new Computer where I cannot use the same Windows-User for FME Authoring and Batchs.This way, I had to change my Database-Connections to Public, so that the Batch-user can successfully execute my FME-Batchs.I did the same for my Onedrive Web-Connection (change to Public).Now the Onedrive-Connection works in Workbench directly, but not as a Batch (with my Batch-User "fmebatch") Log:2022-12-13 10:13:29|   0.4|  0.2|ERROR |OneDriveConnector: Invalid connection, make sure your install path for FME is in your system environment variables2022-12-13 10:13:29|   0.4|  0.0|ERROR |Error encountered while calling method `input'2022-12-13 10:13:29|   0.4|  0.0|FATAL |OneDriveConnector_CALLER (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature2022-12-13 10:13:29|   0.4|  0.0|WARN  |An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details2022-12-13 10:13:29|   0.4|  0.0|INFORM|Translati

Hi All,I've been having a lot of issues trying to get code execution on FME server via System Callers. Been through every forum post about this without success. I've attached a workspace that I'm using to create BAT files and run them with System Caller. SystemCaller 1 and 2 will run on desktop, but not on the server.The server log shows:Failed to Execute `"C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\engineresults\\b80d9262-f6b1-4c81-8f97-a505f68c95b2\\TauDEM_Run01.bat"'Failed to Execute `"C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\engineresults\\b80d9262-f6b1-4c81-8f97-a505f68c95b2\\TauDEM_Run01.bat" abc'SystemCaller 3 and 4 will fail on desktop and server. At this point i'd be really keen for a workflow that Bypasses the System Caller. I'm really happy with the BAT file being created, but executing it on the

Is this a known bug? Is the only way to fix this to upgrade FME Server?

We have 14 units of incremental license, but we don't know, how we can use it. Can you tell us if this license requires Flexnet, or should we activate it in another way? Please let me know which solution for this type of license would be appropriate?

Can someone please suggest something to  improve the performance?

FYI - I'm fairly new to FME and would like to start using it much more in our workflows, any help is appreciated. I'm converting a model from Revit to FBX. Where I am transforming the coordinates to a local ENU CS prior to export. I have created a transformation matrix using the Python Caller, where I intend to use the generated coefficients in a 3DAffiner. Manually adding the coefficients into the 3DAffiner works well:Here I simply printed the values of a1-c4 with the first run of the workspace, then pasted these values into the 3DAffiner to produce the FBX file. What I want to do is pass the a1-c4 attribute values from the PythonCaller into the 3DAffiner, as below:Although I recieve an er

I ran into some quirkyness with lined custom transformers today\\Normally, when one has a workspace with a linked custom transformer, and you change the stuff between the input and output ports of that transformer, the next time you run this workspace uses the new functionality. That is when you save the transformer and don't make a new version.The parameters of the linked transformer are not changed. Obviously that goes for the published parameters, you set in the workspace through dropdown menu's etc. on the linked custom transformer, but it also seems to go for the private parameters of the linked transformer.It looks like they are stored in the workspace as wel in some sort of way. When you have changed these during the rework on the Linked transformer, still the old private parameters seem to be used when running the workspace!In my case the private parameters were python-scripted parameters in the linked transformer. I changed the python-scr

Hi, Using a standard browser there is no problem using Mapillary API and navigating to: https://www.mapillary.com/connect?client_id=XXXAfter submitting my credentials there is a redirect that gives a code in the url: https://localhost/?code=XXX Using the httpcaller I get a annoying problem that I only get a http status code 200 and a response body saying that I need to use different browser. I am using a web connection that would deal with authentication. Any ideas? The documentation is here:https://www.mapillary.co

In the new, fantastic, InlineQuerier (2023 beta), a geometry column can be selected. Is there a way to call directly the geometry of the feature without geometryextractor? On the same topic, is there a way to define the ouptput geometry without using an ST_asText followed by a GeometryReplacer?

Hello,  With help from this community I was able to round the x,y,z coordinates of a pointcloud (see->Rounding IFMEPointCloud XYZ components) and it seems to work when I click on individual points they have 3 digital numbers (=precision). However, when I write them with the Pointcloudxyz writer to a .xyz file the precision is not correct. This topic has been discussed here: https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0r4Q00000HbrBDQAZ/point-cloud-writer-support-precision-control. Is there already a solution in place ?  I also tried the pointcloudtopointcoercer-> coordinate extractor -> csv writer but the first transformer is already taking a long time to run so it would not be an efficient solution. Thank you!

I want to extract specific lines from a log file, based on an regex. However, instead of getting a whole line as match returned, or even better a list of matches, I am getting <null> returned. What I want from the log file are all the warnings. I used an AttributManager and set the Attribute Value for the new attribute to @SubstringRegularExpression(@Value(_log_attr),^.*\|WARN\s{2}\|.*$,0,0,5)The last parameter is already misleading, since I usually do not have an idea of how many warnings there might be in an arbitrary log file, but for the sake of my test it would work.I would expect that the first match (out of 5) is returned. Ideally, a startIdx of -1 would give me the last of the five matches, but that doesn't work either. For the fun of it I was testing the same expression within a StringSearcher and here, there is a match. However, the attribute containing the matched result, who is supposed to return "

Hello, I was using a HTTP caller with a web connection fine on FME Desktop and Server - This was running fine on a daily schedule. I then realized that the HTTP caller needed to run in a loop so I got it working on both Desktop and server fine. The issue is, the workbench will only work for one day on the server, and then it returns a '401 Unauthorized' the next day. I find that if I re-publish the web connection, the workbench runs fine......until the next day. Does anyone know if this is a glitch or if there is some work around? The workbench was previously running fine until I added the loop and there hasn't been any changes to web connection each time I publish Any help is welcome!  Many thanks, Sam

I have a lot of LAZ files and generate a couple of polylines in ArcGIS. for these polylines I need to extract the points classified as 'ground' from the LAZ files.What transformer allows me to do that, and how to deal with polylines intersecting with several LAZ files?

Hi.I am wanting to utilize a webhook to kick off a process and have set up a sample site based on Send Source Data to FME Server with HTTP POST (safe.com).This example uses a text file to kick off the process but I am wanting to use the webhook URL with a parameter (key field). Is this possible? If so, what would I use as the initiator of the workspace and how would I pull in the parameter?  Any help would be most welcome! 

 I have attached an excel spreedsheet. I would like to merge and convert the table in sheet 1 ("Year_2035') and sheet 2 ('Year_2050') into a table structure like that one in 'RequiredFormat' sheet. I have never transformed such a complex data structure in FME before. Can anyone kindly help with good suggestions?

Hello everyone,  I am trying to round the x, y and z components of Pointclouds to a precision of 3. I have tried the coordinaterounder but as is already stated in the Coordinaterounder documentation (http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/coordinaterounder.htm) the behaviour of this transformer can be erratic. For some points I get far more then 3 decimal places, while for others it is rounded to an integer. I have also tried the Pointcloudexpressionevaluator as in this solution (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00009HJ87MSAT/rounding-ifmepointcloud-xyz-components-with-pythoncaller) but this also does not seem to work for my data.

Hi Folks, I'm setting up a HTML web connection to an API using OAuth2, and one of the parameters that I must specify is grant_type=client_credentials. However, in the 'Retrieve Token Parameters' dialog in the preview window, I see that grant_type=authorization_code. Is there any way to change this? If I enter it in the URL section, will it overwrite (even if it doesn't show the change in the preview)? Thanks!Tyson
