FME Form

I have a problem when uploading a workspace to FME server using the API. There is a difference in the date output in feature writer in CSV format. I have a datetime formatter which change the date to %d-%m-%Y %T.When run the job on FME server after publishing from FME desktop the output CSV has the espected value "29-05-2016 11:36:03.553" (%d-%m-%Y %T).When run the job after POST by the API the output in the CSV is "20160529113603.553" (date format FME).In the featurewriter the output is manual and the date field is set to string.I don't understand this behaviour.

I've just created a workspace that connects to a REST API. When GETing data, the HTTPCaller calls work immediately, but when POSTing it looks like FME Server waits for 2 minutes before checking what the API responded with? The initial timeout for the call was only 90 seconds so it timed out when I first ran it, so I had to bump up the timeout to see that it was actually getting a response. Is there anything obvious I'm missing in FME Server that would cause HTTPCaller POST calls to run really slowly? Relevant logs:2022-12-1 16:29:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: Starting HTTP upload to 'xxxxx'. Expected transfer size: 2084 bytes2022-12-1 16:29:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: HTTP Upload: sent 2084 bytes2022-12-1 16:31:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: Starting HTTP download from 'xxxxx'2022-12-1 16:31:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: HTTP transfer summary (xxxxx): status code

Greetings,Can one pass a user parameter into the JSON Network Authentication Username and Password Fields? If yes, how? Thank you,TylerFME Workbench 2022.1

I have a large number of images, some of which have a colour range that is different to the rest. I have a csv file that lists each filename and whether it requires adjustment or not.I would like to be able to modify the red, green and blue for those images using a quadratic formula, something like: set Red=if([needsadjustment]=1,max(min(Red^2*-0.004+Red*1.78+57,255),0),Red)and similarly for green and blue channels.Can anyone advise if this is possible using FME please?ThanksRob

Hi. I would like to ask for advice. I have one airport geometry and I have for example three runways to this airport (for example BENESOV). I need to write this data into a shapefile including geometry = 3 x BENESOV airport geometry with runway number see printscreen. 204 elements are correct for the input of the shapefilewriter, but we only write elements that have one runway to one airport. Can someone please advise how to solve this? I am also attaching WS in the attachment. thank you very much

Hi,I need to test multiple FeatureCounters with one Tester so that if any of the counters have a value of zero then the test fails. Unfortunately the tests always fails because some of the fields are missing when the counters appear in the Tester's results. The test below is supposed to pass. Is there a way to set this up so that I can get the results that I am looking for?

I've created different user parameters for my workspace. Some specific combinations will lead to an error. The user has to choose the output format (Geotiff, JPEG or JPEG2000) and the color depth (Gray8, RGB24 or palette). JPEG and JPEG2000 don't support palettes, so those combinations will lead to an error. How can I configure the workspace to respond to invalid combinations of output format and color depth with a costum error message in the log file? Thanks in advance!

Hello FME community, I have 200 dwg files that works as tiles (mosaics) for a large area. I want to do a certain process on all DWG files and then save the file with the same name. when I read and then write all DWG files with fme, they are all saved in one DWG file. does anyone know how I can read all DWG files at once and write them to individual DWG files. Thanks for your support 

Hi community. I have run into something that I am trying to automate but falling over at the last step.The process I have is:Download data-set names from FTP.Split data-set name list into attributes.Download data-sets from FTP to local drive.Read downloaded data-sets using the feature reader.Dynamically write data-sets into SQL server. The last step I have missed is setting the primary key attribute for each data-set (fortunately it is the same 'ATTR_STR_1' for each data-set) as the dynamic writer is reading from the schema attributes coming out of the feature reader.Has anyone had success with setting a primary key in dynamic writing?I have tried a few things:SQL To run after write: alter table landmap_polygon add primary key (ATTR_STR_1)Error here is that the column is already populated and not set to no 'nulls' and I would need to set this for each table (we won't know table names until after the fact).Read schema from existing table (after setting primary key).T

I have created by text adder for polygon .point with text name of polygon but I have noticed after writing them in gdb Esri api or in Esri shape file .when I try to read the output again , I read only points ,i see it but I do not see any text with point ,why ?i would like to have point with text as I have written ,Does it possible ?Thanks in advance FME 2021

Does FME supports reading / writing to CityGML 3.0 version?

Hey all,I am trying to set up a workspace to update, insert, and delete a heap of our ArcGIS Online feature layers once a week or so.I have been able to set it up once using the AGOL feature reader into the change detector in a similar way to How do I write updates to an existing ArcGIS Online feature service? (safe.com).I am unable to add dynamic layers using the AGOL feature reader, thus limiting my ability to update multiple features using it. My question revolves more around how to cycle through multiple layers and add to the change detector.I have tried setting up a CSV with the required information and then using a standard feature reader, but that does not bring the attributes that are used to compare in the change detector.Has anyone done a similar project or have an idea on how to Have it work? Cheers 

Hello FME friends,After a week away, here's a very full edition of What's Up Wednesday.  Certification Program UpdatesAs of this week, you'll notice major changes to our FME Certification program. Firstly, there is a new trail on the FME Academy to help you learn the required skills to pass the exam:  Yes, that says 62 hours, but that's if you are starting from scratch with no FME skills. If you're considering certification, I expect that you would have completed many of these modules already, or have the equivalent amount of training and/or experience. Secondly, the FME Certification exams are now being "proctored". This means that automated software monitors your exam to ensure the right person is taking the test and does not receive outside help.  It's not that we don't trust you, but we think certifications have more value when carried out under secure conditions like this. It also lets us process your applications quickly and provide interacti

 I have used text adder to create name of polygon at the middle .So i have points geometry as name of each polygon at middle of polygon and polygon borders.i would like to merge both of them and have point and borders in one layer .How could I do it ? i would like to keep only attributes and rows of polygon borders .there is id common between polygon borders and points  Fme 2021 Thabks in advance

I have a dataset with a messy 'comments' column. I want to extract numbers from these comments, but only when the come before a ceratin word. For instance, a comment could be: on januari 21, 16 boats passed or21 boats passed on januari 12 2017 I only want the numbers when they come beofre the word 'boat'. Is there a way to do that?

I have migrated data into Utility Network but have a large amount of duplicate stacked point features. They all need to remain but the network topology will remain dirty unless I find a way to make these duplicate XY's unique. After testing a few manually, it seems to work if I add a z value of 1 to only the duplicate points and revalidate topology. So if I could add a z-value of 1 to only the duplicates using FME, it would solve my issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am trying to read in a csv and write the contents into a javascript file. It works at least 90% of the way and looks like this when I export the features:[ { feature1: value1, feature2: value2 }, { .... } ] I would like to insert the text "var data = " at the beginning of the file, like so:var data =[ { feature1: value1, feature2: value2 }, { .... } ] Is it possible to insert this text in the file before the JSON writer writes out the contents?  Another detail is that this CSV file has over 5 million rows. It is difficult to open the file and write in the text or use powershell commands. Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone I am completely new to FME capabilties. We currently use Civil 3D 2023 and were looking for a simple way to create a geospatial PDF from a Civil 3D Drawing (DWG) file. Just wondering what solutions FME offers for this? Thanks everyone!

I have been using this transformer for quite some time and have been living with the pain.i have done some more testing with it and discovered that if i don't use recurse there is a significant performance gain with a giant functionality loss!it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to HOURS to get a response from the initial read in dektop. slightly better in server however i am ussually not waiting on it at that point (if i need it to work i publish to server and walk away) it may be tomorrow before it completes.are there any workarounds. i have considered trying to use a system caller to just do a dir and get really bad data back and rebuild it from that. 

Hi, we're getting an out of memory issue running a workbench in 2022.2 that runs fine on the same computer in version 2021. Has the way the vertexd creator processes data changed?

Can I use FME AR offline?

Hello I have to migrate a MySQL DB to a Postgres DB. The input DB contains about 200 different tables. Some fields of these tables contain url. Before migrating these urls, I would like to validate them. I have created a workspace which works perfectly fine using a sequence of transformers HTTPCaller transformer.Before publishing it to FME Server, I would like to define some parameters amongst which the name of the table and the name of the field containing the url to check. Is there a way to do this? I have tried to use published paramaters which is ok for the fieldname but I cannot see how to do it on reader feature type. Thanks in advance for your help.I would like to create a workspace using a MySQL DB containing about 200 tables as input to let user define the table (and the field)

For some reason the .fmw script does work on FME desktop ( 2021.2.3) and does yield an output (in my case a geojson). When I import the script on FME Server (version 2021.2.4) then the script is completed without raising any error, but doesn't write the file on a map. I am quite sure that  the Published parameter "Destination JSON file" is correctly written. When I look at the view details tab after the script has been completed, I see a lot of statements with Nuke or TeeFactory. I read on the following link in the answer of merlingeorge: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00009fDZGRSA4/disabled-nuker-1-50-teefactory- that it might have to do with version incompatibility. Might that also be the case in my situation? I would assume there wouldn't be much differences between FME desktop 2021.2.3 en 2021.2.4. By the way, some lines below have been omitted due to security concerns. 40 2022-12-1 15:38:40 | Creating writer for format:41 2022-12-1 15:38:40 | Creating reader for format

Hi all,Is there any suitable transform for following scenario?. Like I have a shape file which have data with some attribute and I have an excel file which holds same attribute data like present in shp file attributes. I want to filter those attribute matching feature.all related suggestions are welcomes!Thank you in advance,Saravanakumar
