Hello, I have build a simple Workspace App that copies folders for my users. Currently I provide the users with the network path to the Excel template in the Description section. Example: \\\\my_network\\Excel_template Ideally I'd prefer to house the Excel template in my resources folder on fme server and provide a link for them to download it from there eliminating any issues if a user didn't have access to the network path and thus couldn't download the template.  Is this possible without creating a custom html document?

 Hello Community I’ve made effective use of HTTPCaller to connect to an external secure FTP. I then download that data to process downstream in the workspace. But can I use FME Desktop to upload to a secure FTP, or perhaps to an external API? Thanks,

Hi there,I have a database containing a BUILDING table which is related to a BUILDING_FUNCTION table.A building can have 0-n functions associated to it (i.e. Schools, Public buildings, etc).But it's more complicated than that. The functions are timely (Origin, Intermediary, Present)And there are three levels of details in the functions (I-basic, II-medium, III-detail) Here is an example simplied dataset for only one building, number 14...I need to denormalize this table to get only one entry per building.Here is the desired result. Note that in INTERMEDIARY functions, there are two functions listed. This is due to the fact that the a building ca

Hello everyone, I have a question with regard to preserving the pattern style of hatches in DWG files.  I have a simple DWG file with two lines (blue), one text (yellow), a dimension (magenta), and a polygon (blue) which is filled with a hatch (cyan):  If I now simply read the DWG file with a REALDWG reader and do nothing but write it again with the REALDWG writer, the hatching pattern looks very different in the result - which is basically because the lines of the hatching pattern are much closer together than they were in the original DWG file:More details

Hello, Is there a way to read Garmin format TCX and FIT ? I can't find any info regarding readers for these 2 formats. Thanks

I'm using an ArcGIS Feature reader to read a layer with two tables. After reading the two tables, I join them. I add and remove many attributes. The last step of the workspace is to use an ArcGIS Feature writer to populate a layer.  In the past when I've done this, the ArcGIS Feature writer created the ArcGIS feature service. Can I write to an existing feature service? ArcGIS Online (AGOL) field names must be 31 characters or less and not have spaces or other special characters (underscores are fines). Display names are also supported which can be longer than 31 characters and have spaces.  Ideally, I'd like to specify a list of attributes with data types for the feature service.  Questions:Can I create an FME workspace to write to an existing ArcGIS feature service? This is an ArcGIS question, but I'd like to easily create ArcGIS feature service based on a list of field names and data types

I have a workspace with dozens of Readers & Writers that all point to the same database, all using the same connection. How to point all the relevant Feature Types to a single Reader/Writer definition, and then delete all the duplicates?(and then I'll need only one User Parameter!)  An output Feature Type let's me select which Writer to use, but input Feature Types have Reader field disabled. Why? How do I enable the UI control? 

We are wanting to check one feature service and one field in that service and whether it changed from "Sampled" to 3 other options. If it did change we want to send an email to let us know what the unique ids that did change. How would we use change detector to accomplish this task? We would like to schedule a task each night in FME server to send the email.

Hi,I haven't yet seen this - I cannot connect 2 transformers. It seems like there is something downstream the flux that prevents the connection.I captured the behavior in gif: I have Workbench 2020.0.1.Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have developed a workbench in 32-bit FME 2021.1.1.2 which is reading ArcSDE DB with ArcFM (32-bit) and 64bit background processing installed. I have ArcGIS 10.6.1 installed. This workbench has been published to 64bit FME Server 2021.1.0.1. The error i am getting after setting up the scheduler in FME Server is "Could not open Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is : -2147.... The error message from ArcObjects is : {Underlying DMBS error [Unknown errorNo Extended error.]}" The workbench runs fine in a standalone mode without FME Server. Is the issue due to compatibility issues between 64-bit FME Server and 32-bit ESRI products or the the version difference between 2021.1.x between FME Desktop and FME Server ?

Issue: I can set the Alternative and retrieve data from that Smallworld alternative, but only once at a time.  Current work around: I have to clear the Alternative parameter, cache the Reader, and then re-enter the Alternative name and re-run the workspace. Potential cause: It seems to me like the Reader moves into the Alternative on the first run and then when I run it again it cannot find the Alternative because it is already in it. Which is why I need to cache it without a value in the Alternative parameter, effectively moving back out of that alternative. More details: In the smallworld environment I have moved into the alternative of interest ( mainly for testing ), do I need to stay in TOP?I am not writing back into Smallworld just reading out. Potential Fixes: I have tried messing around with 'Export Changes from baseline' but that does not seem to help.

Hello I am using FME 2021.2 on an AWS machine and am connecting to an Oracle DB on-prem, but the connection is very slow. I currently have SQL Developer setup on the AWS machine and its connection to Oracle is as expected (fast). Issue:When I test the connection in FME it can take several minutes to recieve the pop-up saying 'successful connection'.I am using TNS and have setup the tnsnames.ora file I dont get any warnings or errors in the log When I use the same file for SQL Developer its response is very fastDoes anyone have any suggestions as to how to speed up that connection?

I have a tester that checks if the user entered something into a user parameter. If they don't enter something then I want to create a new record. Currently it tests for the null and then it essentially stops as no data comes through. I want to create the data thorough a series of calculations. How do I do that?

Hi. I am trying to model some buildings' roofs in LoD2 using point clouds(las) and some shp files from arc gis, but I cannot find the right transformation.

Hi, I have a workbench setup, it reads a database connection, does some transformations, then write to our Enterprise GIS Portal. The writer is setup to overwrite/truncate the feature layer data,  and it has been running successfully for months, but I have now noticed it is failing. I had some issues getting the workbench setup, I think I had some forums post about it as we had to rename some fields and use replace some strings as some characters were causing problems.  But all them got sorted and it was working fine. The error message is:ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Could not retrieve metadata for layer/table ID 0 of Feature Service at 'https://maps.middlesbrough.gov.uk/server/rest/services/Hosted/ReportIT_Firmstep/FeatureServer'. The error code from the server was '500' and the message w

FME 2022.1 64-bit Personal Geodb Reader - Reading feature type as case-sensitive. Where as 32-bit Personal Geodb Reader in earlier versions used to read feature type name as case-insensitive. Is there a way to make FME 2022.1 64-bit Personal Geodb Reader to read feature type as case-insensitive? 

I am trying to create a pdf file using the straight line diagram. I have a data file with the Road reseals as lines and I would like to be able to show the distance or length of the Reseal, the Year Applied, and stone size as a stacked straight line chart. This will then show the overlaps as well. Many years ago we used to do the very same thing on paper, in a book, by hand so we could see the surfaces applied to the roads over time. I am currently reviewing or trying to, do some analysis and update what we had on paper into a modern approach. I have watched the video of it being used here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tPhZMSrnYw at the end of the webinar but I am struggling to sort it out given it was a very short session at the end. I would like some more specifics or how to on setting it up, or even a sample workspace may be the one from the demo would be a good example to follow.
