FME Form

I am working on a project that involves sending an email notification to a series of email addresses with a text body and embedded map of the area impacted. I am having a hard time pulling together examples to get this done. The embedded map would include:a background image (either ESRI basemap or using our internal ESRI raster mosiacs)a series of ESRI SDE points, lines and polygons (some having labels)both the image and vector data would be clipped to a specific boundary (usually no more than 1500 acres (~600 HA) I am assuming that the embedded map within the email would need to be a jpeg, png, etc. But I could be assuming incorrectly... The main item that I am struggling with (at least now) is the creation of the map. I am also struggling with bringing in an ESRI basemap or connecting to our mosaics without it reading the entire mosaic. I am running FME Desktop 2020.0 and have a FME Server 2020.0 newly stood up and running some automations. I would appreciate any help that you are wi

We have been using AthenaConnector for awhile and have about 75 mappings developed. Last summer while using FME 2019, the AthenConnector automatically updated to version 1.0 of the connector.  A lot of mappings started bombing. Also see FME Hub Comments. Here is one such error message:2021-11-02 11:18:02|  3.6| 0.0|INFORM|AmazonAthenaConnector: Query ran successfully. Run time: 6.417 seconds. Data scanned: 640595.24 kB 2021-11-02 11:18:02|  3.6| 0.0|INFORM|AmazonAthenaConnector: Query results saved to: 's3:/...' 2021-11-02 11:18:03|  3.8| 0.2|WARN |Python Exception <ValueError>: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'client_num' 2021-11-02 11:18:03|  3.8| 0.0|WARN |Traceback (most recent call last):  File "plugins.py", line 447, in input  File "...\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Packages\19822-win64\python\safe.amazon-athena\fmepy_amazon_athena\connector.py", line 168, in receive_feature   first_feature_row = next(result, None)  File "...\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Pa

We are using a custom Token Based web connection to an external service. The service does not return an expiry time - it is always 180 minutes.  Is there a way to hard code an expiry duration on a token retrieved by the web connection? The UI for defining a Token Based web connection seems to only support an expiry time being returned by the token service.

I'm looking for some help on what I am sure is a common problem hwoever being new to the software I'm not too sure what the correct terms are. I am using the RasterTiler to split a large DEM into smaller tiles and write them to a new format. This is working fine but I would like to have the a coordinate of a corner of the raster written to the filename of the output. You've probably seen similar below, which is what I'm trying to achieve:For reference, this is what my workspace set up looks like:Thanks for your help getting me to understand this new software.

Hello we have an AutoCAD drawing that contains some 'wipe out' features i.e. polygons that sit above other data and hide the information that is underneath it. All of the wipe outs have the 'Display but not plot' setting in AutoCAD but for some reason they are not being read into FME.I have the 'Ignore Frozen Layers' and 'Ignore Hidden Layers' settings in the reader set to No but that does not seem to make a difference.  The snapshot is an example of where the wipe out is used in the sample drawing  Does anyone have any advice on how to read these layers into FME as I need to replicate what AutoCAD does when creating a TIFF / PDF output.

I upgraded OSX to version 12.0.1 last night (Monterey) Now when I try and create a new Reader in Desktop I get the error as follows. Is anyone else seeing this? I am running FME version 2021.1.2.0    

I have a directory structure containing source raster tiles (512x512 pixel png files) in TMS (XYZ) format at level 10. These have been provided to me by a third-party.From these I'd like to generate levels 9 & 8 so additional layers can be shown in a leaflet app. I thought FME and the WebMapTiler would be the answer, but I'm struggling to get this working. So far I have the following in workbench: A PNGRASTER reader that reads all the source files from the existing directory structure.A PythonCaller to calculate the bounding coordinates of the source tiles using a python function from here - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames.A RasterGeoreferencer to georeference the rasters usign the above coordinates.A RasterMosaicker to generate a single raster.A WebMapTiler (set to GlobalCRS84Scale, Minimum Zoom=8, Maximum Zoom=10) to generate the raster tiles at level 10, 9 & 8. A PNGRASTER writer with the name set as the Y (row) attribute and a fanout express

Hi, I'm inefficient with CSS selector statements - having no HTML authoring background. I want the CSV download links at this site and only the csv download links:https://data.sandiego.gov/datasets/parking-citations/I can get all 'a' tags and the href references no problem but have to test the result ends with '.csv'. Can anyone give me the right selector syntax for the element I'm after? Thanks all.

Hello,​So I have a data, which is called "Amendment Date". The format is as followDD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS. ​I would like to make a checker to check if the input data are correct. I tried the attached steps and it seem ONLY works on correct order. If the data is wrong, it said ERRORS and cannot run the transformer. Would someone please guide me how to do valid the format. Thank you.

I have a .dgn that has a lot of 'blocks' that are made up by Smart Solids (they consist of only fme_lines as far as FME Desktop sees it) and they show up like thisOf all the other parts (Free Forms which are fme_areas) Im building with MeshBuilder and they show up just fine, but these parts are missing. I managed to separate these parts from the working ones because clearly I have to deal with these differently but I dont know how. SurfaceBuilder/SolidBuilder seems to just reject everything, only AreaBuilder (which if Im correct is not for 3D stuff?) outputs something but it is far from what I want, for example:For this inputMy AreaBuilderOutputs something different

How do I convert a date such as 12/31/1979 to Julian date in FME?

My reader contains two features: 1 line, 1 point.My output writer is set as Generic and with User Parameters to choose the output options. But the attributes/fields I pick are captured only in SHP/FGDB/KML but not Autocad Map 3D Object Data. Any clue how I can include the attributes I want in the autocad output?

Hi folks, For some unresolved reason, our ArcGIS Server 10.7.1 crashes intermittently. Like randomly after a week or a few weeks or month or two, it just crashes. When I check the Server logs for what appears around the crash timestamp, there are a number of SEVERE errors that follow the pattern of "Error performing query operation Wait time of the request to the service <SERVICE> has expired." It's a specific set of services, enterprise feature classes as their source, usually the same culprits appear in these error messages so I thought it might be associated with some web apps that may be experiencing strangely heavy use at sometimes outside of main business hours. I've already had Esri Tech Support investigate this but they couldn't figure out what's causing the issue either. But I recently changed the source of one of these services to point to a shapefile instead. At the next Server crash, this layer did not have its name show up among the e

I'm working with a client who has all their infrastructure based on IBM Cloud and they are looking at reading and writing files from IBM's version of S3. The docs say that they basically use a complete clone of S3 implementation (actually a copy of the boto3 library for access) so I'm wondering if FME has an OTB way to work with these kinds of buckets? Relevant docs here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage?topic=cloud-object-storage-getting-started-cloud-object-storage I've given it a shot trying the S3Connector but even when providing an alternate endpoint it still seems to fail to connect. I'm not sure if it's the way the transformer is implemented or if it is something I'm doing.

Hi,I have problem creating an excelfile in a script that I published in FME server. I get an outputfile with type "file" and not ".xlsx". I can use the file to drag and drop it to an empty excel sheet. However what I really want to do is to create an excelfile. I am using a published parameter in my writer that looks like this . Also please check my parameters for the excelwriter.Am i missing something important? The version on FME desktop: 2020.1.3.0The version on FME server: 2020.2.3

291 / 5000  ÜbersetzungsergebnisseI'm looking for a transformer with which I can create a buffer around a line. This buffer should have a defined width. The line has z-coordinates.At the end I would like to continue using the buffer polygon that was created and the polygon should receive the z-coordinates of the line.  

I am currently using a ChangeDetector to determine which fields have been updated in two different databases. The change detector works as intended and creates a list of different fields have that have been updated. The problem I have is that all the updates need to be written to a database on a one-by-one basis and currently I cannot find a way of sorting the updates by the specific field that has been updated. The updated list created by the ChangeDetector has specific attributes called "attributeName" and "revisedValue". I want to use those two attributes to create a new single attribute which is named after "attributeName" and has the value from "revisedValue" that indicates to my database which field need to be updated and the value that has changed.

Hey community! how can I convert a point cloud in this sense? When I put my obj in Unity I have this problem....

Hi, the API comes back with the number of totalPages (say 10 pages), how can I loop the API call through all these pages (1,2,3...10) to get all data? Is there a tutorial I can refer? thanks, Song

Is it possible to transform .gdb files into .ifc files. If yes, what transformers do you use? Sincerely Thomas

I've got a 3D DGN of a bridge out of Bently. I'm following the instructions in the Creating FMEAR Datasets from 2D Cad models article. Since it's already a 3d model, I'm assuming that I dont need the extruder or offsetter. So it should just show up if I convert it, right? I do get a layer list and scale information in the app, but the surface dots disappear once it loads, and nothing else shows up.

This is an error I get when I try to refresh an existing layer in a feature service on ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: 'addResults' error for a feature in 'Environmental_Inspections'. The error code from the server was '1000' and the message was: 'String or binary data would be truncated.The statement has been terminated.'Has anyone else run into this?

The work flow of this process is that there is an excel spreadsheet from another department that is updated with one new record everyday. This excel document is the source for another spreadsheet that we use in our department where there are formulas that update columns. What we are noticing is that when the workbench is run the next day it will not pull the new record automatically. If I open this excel spreadsheet and save it manually then the FME excel reader will pull the new record. What can I do to get the FME workbench to pull the new record?  Thank you, Laura

Hi, We have a very basic workflow where a user enters a value into a parameter, and we write that value to a CSV which is stored on a network share drive. We have an external facing website that we would like to have access to this CSV so that it can publish the latest value found in this CSV.  I am not a web developer, I am a GIS Guy, so I am a little out of my depth. Is there some way I can save this CSV on the FME server so that it is available via the Website to read?  I am unsure if that is the best way to explain it, sorry for the n00b terminology.
