FME Form

With FME upgrade to 2021.2.0.1 my workbenches are failing . I have used aggregator and geometry Validator . Also it gives application error if I try to run it from Command prompt.

Greetings,I am finding the settings...AutoCAD Reader > Parameters Tab> General Section > Layer Name field, Allowed Geometries field.....greyed out. How can I access and change these settings? Thank you,Tyler FME 2022.1

Currently reading in e57s, filtering the geometries to point cloud and raster. Running some routines on the point cloud to reduce the number of points and would like to combine the original rasters back into the e57 writer. So far, point cloud comes out fine, but no images. Thanks

Greetings,What is the best way to duplicate a writer? Using copy/paste only duplicates the annotation. Thank you. TylerFME 2022.1

Hey everybody,I have a huge csv file with the attribute field "modify_date" and the date is in "Timestamp" - format (so for example 746841600000).I would like to have it in ISO Date format (1993-09-01 02:00:00).Is there any transformer which can do that? The Date/Time Converter is not able to do that... Thanks in advance.Cheers,Fabian

This question comes just after a question about lines snapping I asked: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D5Dm000005KcrfKAC/linecombiner-with-attribute-not-working Input data are snapped and combined lines, which form a whole network. Each lines being snapped before, there should not be small holes between these. In order to have a proper network and edges and nodes relationship, I use the TopologyBuilder.From 3935 lines as input, it creates 3935 edges and 3502 nodes. But in these nodes, there are a few duplicates with a distance of 10e-6 meters... Even if before that, the lines have been snapped with 1 meter value.The location of these duplicates is often at nodes where the touching lines come from different datasources (Postgis / Shapefile), but have been snapped before and with the same attributes. Do you know how to fix that ? Here is the configuration for the TopologyeBuilder:

I have an issue with a httpcaller trying to call an app server. It makes the same call for a number of times for different customers replacing only the custumer name in the URL. For most calls it is working but for at least one call I get the error HTTP transfer error: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data) after exactly two minutes. On the app server it processes the call for about 8 minutes before returning an answer. However it seems the httpcaller has already "given up" by this point. Timeout is set to 1200 seconds.  It seems to be an issue with FME or the workbench of some kind, but I just can't figure it out. I hope somebody can help.  Regards Rasmus

I have troubles in using the LineCombiner, with 2 different datasources as input. The first is fme_line from Postgis (MultiLineString, but deaggregated) and the second is fme_line from Shapefile. Both have the same projection system, are in 2D, and have the same attribute schema: only "troncon_id" as string which should be used as merging attribute. I would like to join common line between the two datasources and produce a unique dataset. Hower, the resulting data a correctly merged when coming from the same datasource, but not merged for lines with the same troncon_id and common point (Qgis snapping option). They do not overlap or intersect.Here are the parameters used:An example of not combined lines :

How do I convert .osm data into shapefile using FME?

Can FME server run multiple jobs at same time?I found FME server can run a job at a time. Others are in queue. Can we set FME server to run multiple jobs at same time? such as 2-3 jobs a time?

Converted ArcGIS Pro Annotation (geodb_pro_annotation) to Standard Annotation (geodb_annotation) with the help of Dynamic File Geodatabase reader and Dynamic File Geodatabase writer. Enclosed the developed FME workspace template for your reference. However, when opened the generated output Standard Annotation (geodb_annotation) feature class in ArcMap (version 10.8.1), getting an error saying "One or more layers failed to draw". Please refer to enclosed screenshot from ArcMap and help to advice how to handle this situation.  Found no issues with the output when used Static File Geodatabase reader. However in our case, need to use the Dynamic File Geodatabase reader only. Thank you..! Note: Enclosed FME workspace created using FME(R) 2022.1.0.0 (20220704 - Build 22618 - WIN64)

Hi, We have a complex FME bat, compound of 3 FME schemas that we produced in 2019 and it works with 2019.2.3.2 FME version. It is true that it takes about 24 hours.  With the newer versions of FME, meaning everything that is newer than 2021 or even latest's versions from 2020 we get the 'Adjusting Memory Resources' message while performing PointOnArea. We tried different options currently available on FORUMS, try split the data even more without results and and we would like some more ideas.  Below is an extract of the log file. 2022-11-13 10:43:20|4389.2| 15.4|INFORM|PointOnAreaOverlayer (OverlayFactory): Computing relationships between 11770563 input areas and 23979 input points 2022-11-13 10:54:54|4554.8|165.6|INFORM|ResourceManager: Optimizing Memory Usage. Please wait... 2022-11-13 12:40:57|10158.7|5603.9|FATAL |Insufficient memory available -- error code was 2 - please read the FME Help section 'Adjusting Memory Resources' for workarounds.  Thank you!

Hi, I am reading an Oracle spatial table (points) and i only want to write it to AGOL. I have 17624 records in the source. When the feature layer is created I only have 12.000 records. Or with another try I have 10.000 records. The table of the feature layer is also created and I see the atributes. In AGOL you get a thumbnail wich basically shows what you have created. That turns white so it looks like there is no geometry. When I open the layer the map is zooming to the right extend but also no points to view. i tried written the feature layer again with only one attribute in it. That went well. How can I solve this issue.FME desktop 2022.2.0.0. (build 22765)

I have a workspace that reads data from a long list of DWG files and writes specific features to a SHP file. The status the drawings could be anything, including corrupt so I have Rejected Feature Handling set to Continue Translation. When the workspace runs, I can see in the log that some DWG files are skipped for various reasons. A new problem occurs when it hits the attached DWG file. It is a Civil3d file and the log shows that FME finds a resource to read it, but then it just sits there and nothing happens for a few minutes until I get an error.  For now I have deleted the file from the list, but it would be better if the workspace would simply skip it and go on to the next file. How do I do this?

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.

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?

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.

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?
