How to do a post-request with httpcaller, filling the body by data from a transformer without sending the data within the post?

Hi, I try to request data from an api by a POST-request with httpcaller. Every post works fine when I set the parameter geodata in the body manually like this:{"geodata": ["FCA","FF"],..."}These are identifiers of features, which I want insert dynamically by an other transformer (Attributekeeper). The attributekeeper delivers one field called BSTs with this content: "MLLF","DPU","WWM" {"geodata": [@Value(BSTs)],..."} As soon as I activate the connection between attributekeeper and httpcaller, the api sends a "403" not allowed. I suppose, that the httpcaller sends the data of the transformer attributekeeper within the POST, what is not allowed by the api. But strange is, that I send allready the authentification-token to the httpcaller to use it in the header. This works... Any ideas are welcome ;-)Best regards, Christoph

Fanout out to different folders

I want to write out a bunch of MapInfo tables, placing multiple tables into multiple folders. My folder structure is about ten folders named after Districts. The District name is a value in one of the columns. How do I tell FME Desktop to fanout to a different folder based upon the value of the District name?

Convert one kml format to another template, the best way to go about it

Hello!We have a new software package that imports KMZ/KML to another KMZ/KML format, and cannot take the standard google earth created KMZ. This is causing us issues, as 99% of the kmls we get to import are in the standard XML Format. What is the best approach I can take or transformer to use in order to convert the different KML formats? I attached two examples. One we received from someone to import, and the template that the vendor needs to import.

How to iterate through GDB feature classes?

I've got a very big feature class which contains more than 12,000,000 polygons and I need to use TopologyBuilder and other transformers to do some processing, but it took too much time for TopologyBuilder to process the dataset. So I came up an idea that I split the dataset into several some small feature classes which contain less polygons. Now I only need to run my workspace repeatly through WorkSpaceRunner, but WorkSpaceRunner seems can not process feature classes in the GDB one by one, I have to export feature classes in to separate GDBs to get it work, but exporting processing also took a lot of time and made my folder very complex. So is there any way to iterate through GDB? I'd appreciate any @suggestion, thank you!

Text to Graphics: Complete removal of .shx/.ttf Reference

I am in the process of converting DGNs to SVGs for use as symbols in ArcGIS Pro. I am able to filter out the Text in the DGNs and assign a stock Windows Font. However the text reference is not being passed to ArcGISPro and the the text component of the symbol is lost. I am looking for a transformer or a set of transformers that will allow me to take the text in the DGN and convert it to a graphic, that DOES NOT reference a Windows stock .ttf file.  I have looked at the TextStroker but the outputs are inconsistent and messy looking as compared to the original DGN text, and I am also having trouble finding a way to fill in the TextStroker output.  To clarify, the ETL that I currently have successfully displays the text in the output SVG in a Web Browser. The only location that does not see the .ttf reference is ArcGIS Pro (the final, required, destination).

How can I setup my FME workbench, so Microstation CE knows the coordinate system?

The data conversion from the oracle database to dgn works fine. I see in Microstation that the coordinates are identical with the counterparts in the Oracle database. However, Microstation doesn't seem to know that it has a coordinate system. It says <coordinate system not set>.  In processes 'downstream' requires that the dgn files have a coordinate system for further usage. This is now a manual step, that we want to avoid. Is someone familiair with this and knows how we can setup FME to write the coordinate information?

Can you write to geodb relationships from any source data type?

Hello thereI was wondering if it's possible to write to geodatabase relationship classes where the source is not a geodatabase, so you don't have the "OBJECTID" to set as the "geodb_oid". I'm reading in some CAD data and am inserting records into 1 feature class and 1 table in a defined File Geodatabase that already has the relationship class setup (non-attributed), and want those 2 objects related. All the examples I've seen of writing to geodatabase relationship classes seem to have a Geodatabase-type source with already-defined OBJECTID values as attributes. I may have missed some documentation, or have done some tests incorrectly, but is it possible to somehow create the "geodb_oid" at runtime or would this have to be a 2 step process (i.e. 1) write data to feature class and table and 2) write relationships)?I know this is a bit vague but hopefully there's enough information that someone knows the answer!Thanks

Problem

I installed FME server 2021.2.2 and I have a problem in the gestion of the coordinates system NTF.Lambert-2E-ClarkIGN. It seems that FME server doesn't recognized this coordinates system and thinks it's NTF.Lambert-2C-ClarkIGN. We tested with FME desktop 2021.2.2 and FME server 2021.2.3 and the coordinates system is recognized. Do you know if there is a problem with FME server 2021.2.2 and the coordinates system NTF.Lambert-2E-ClarkIGN ?

What's Up Wednesday (23-Feb-2022): The EsriReprojector, Python Training, Women in Tech, Pink Shirts, and another Fireside Chat

Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly FME news roundup. EsriReprojectorAnyone who tuned into the sneak peek broadcast yesterday was treated to an in-depth look at the EsriReprojector transformer and what has changed in 2022.  The two main upgrades are time-based coordinate reprojection and vertical datums.  The time element is controlled by the coordinate systems selected and the Epoch parameter. A separate set of parameters control the Vertical Datums.  And, yes, I asked and you can do both at once! That's the final sneak peek I had planned. But I've got used to streaming with guests on a Tuesday afternoon, so, I'll try and line up more presentations, whether they be sneak peeks or something else, to keep us both educated and entertained. Women in TechOn the agenda for March is a webinar titled Empowering Women in Tech.   It's not about FME, per se, but about the women who work at Safe and how their careers progressed.

Good Evening, Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, or if there is a private message function that I haven't found. But I am looking to use FME to automate stream delineation via LiDAR derived raster analysis. I noticed your comment under this forum post (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080haNDSAY/generates-drainage-networks?t=1645628766878). I have downloaded your workflow and taken a look at some of the processes and was wondering if FME has had any updates to further the scope of my goal. Or if you have came across any new/better processes yourself since posting your suggestion. Once again, if this is not the proper place to leave this comment, I apologize. Please reach out at your earliest convenience.
