FME Form

Hi There,I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to completely or partially suppress the logging in a workspace? (even if it is a hacky method)I am aware of the settings in the options menu but unfortunatly they just don’t do the job necessary.Cheers,Itay

I have network based resource folder, that folder si on fme flow When file arrive in that folder, i need to write that file on other location, i just need help i don t know what parameter or what pointer should i send to my reader that it knows which file should write  

Hi,First off, excuse my ignorance in this question - im a beginner. Please let me know if any additional details would be helpful.I am using the HTTPCaller transformer to run a print POST from an AGOL app (Experience Builder).I’m able to successfully run the HTTPCaller and pull the response_body containing the output pdf URL. Id like to now run another transformer to download that pdf locally. Any suggestions on the next transformer to achieve this? An example of the URL: https://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/directories/arcgisoutput/Utilities/PrintingTools_GPServer/_ags_mapfile_name_hear.pdfMuch thanks!

Hi,I have a client that is experiencing some odd behavior when it comes to truncating feature classes and tables in a SQL Server SDE environment. The writer is set to 'Yes' for Truncate table however when fme writes out the features heading to the writer it does not truncate the data first but merely inserts data records.If i add a new reader, move the feature types over, configure it exactly the same and rerun the writer functions as expected (Truncate and Load data).Why do i have to add a new reader that is configured exactly the same to get FME to truncate properly. Do FME writers go stale?FME 2015.1SDE (10.4.1)Any help will be apprecaited.

Hi,I need to find the average distance of 25 nearest neighbours in a point layer. I have tried with Neighborfinder set to 25 number of neighbours to find and generate a list, then a ListExploder to expose the list, but I don't know how to group the 25 neighbours to calculate the average distance of these 25 neighbours to the base point Im gettin this of ListExploder: idRecord it’s the ID of points.Any ideas for grouping the 25 neighbours to calculate the average distance?Thanks you all.

Hi guys!I'm trying to export a list of the completed jobs using the FME Rest API, but I can't seem to get it done. What I want is basically a list of all the completed jobs, including the start time, end time, job id, engine, workspace name etc. For this, I'm using FME Form, a creator connected to a http-caller. Used the following Request URL: /fmerest/v3/jobs/completed?status=SUCCESS/fmerest/v3/jobs/completedAnd a few others.I got two headers, one with the token and one with the content type.The errors are being returned:{"message":"null for uri….}Does anyone know a solution for this?

Hello, I am exporting addresses from an Enterprise GDB into an Excel spreadsheet. I have created the Excel Writer, and it successfully writes the data to the spreadsheet. But when I open the spreadsheet, the column widths are crazy wide, and the names are not bold or centered. Is there a way to control the column widths and column names (make them bold and centered)? The screenshot below shows the Excel Writer (“Template”) and the parameters I have set.  

Using FME 2025 and ArcPro 3.1.7 and the python environment located in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3, (3.9.16) the python code below works.Using FM 2025, and ArcPro 3.3.5 and the python environment C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3 (3.11.8), it fails to load the necessary DLLs when importing fmeobjects and crashes.Switching back to ArcPro 3.1.7 it works again. Can anyone help me import fmeobjects using ArcPro 3.3.5? What am I missing? import osimport sysos.environ['PATH'] = r'C:\Program Files\FME' + os.pathsep + os.environ['PATH'] sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files\FME\python')try: import fmeobjects print(dir(fmeobjects)) runner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner()except ImportError as e: print(f"Error: {e}") 

I'm trying to use RasterClipOverlay to extract an area on GeoTIFF defined by a polygon.  FME is currently giving me the incorrect area.  The Workspace: The workspace has a polygon coming from a POSTGIS layer which is filtered. It also has an GeoTIFF  both of which are inputs to the RasterClipOverlay.  The results are output to a GEOTIFF.  As a test I have also added a simple output image that does not come from the RasterClipOverlay. Both the polygon and image are in the same projection EPSG:3395.The original image (displayed in QGIS):   The polygon (in QGIS):

Im wanting to see the http it’s generating so i can understand where its going wrong. Is there a way to see this - without it being submitted? Or even if it’s being submitted? Im sure im missing something. JKW

I am using FME Form 2024.0 to read an excel file for processing.  The reader is not determining the correct max length of multiple text fields in the XLSX file.I have set the max rows to scan to a value larger than the total row but short of manually setting these values I cannot get the reader to detect the correct field length.The FME Help for the MS Excel Reader states to leave this setting blank to scan all rows but the transformer will not except a blank value.I also tried to use the FeatureReader rather than a standard Excel Reader wit

Hi,How can create a published reader parameter for gdb feature classes?The gdb conation Point, line Polygon feature 

Apparently this feature was finally introduced 5 months ago, yay. I’ve been waiting for this for 5 years.I’ve just tested it today, with a PKCS#12 certificate, and unfortunately it doesn’t work.We’ve sofar been using our own C# service provider for this, and the certificate is used here on a daily basis with success. And I’ve verified the private key password.Has anyone tried this feature (with PKCS#12) yet with success ?Using 2024.2.3 (build 24825).Cheers.

Hello everyone,I was wondering if there is a simple way to filter one Dataset by comparing key-values with another Dataset. Basically a Join but onlky keeping Left Attributes.Example:Dataset1 Project SubID moreAttributes from Dataset1 ABC 1 ... ABC 2 ... DE 1 ... DE 2 ...  Dataset 2: Project SubID different Attributes from Dataset2 ABC 1 ... ABC 1 ... ABC 3 ... ABC 3 ... DE

Difference in feature count of Neighborhood Finder transformer after upgrading from FME 2020 to 2024. The count differs even though the input data and projection are same. Similarly for lineonlineoverlay transformer the tolerance 0 and automatic gives the same output while the expected was different as FME 2024 does not have an option to give “none” in tolerance.

I have a spreadsheet with Address, Street Name, City, and Zip Code fields with 500 addresses. I need to create mailing labels for each address in this format: Occupant1234 Main StCity A, 54433 The output would be a Word/Text doc with the list of labels. What Transformer(s) would be used to create these?

Hi,I am converting SHP data to DGN using DGNV8 writer dynamically (via FeatureWriter). Everything works fine, but I don´t understand why it always uses ACAD writer first, throws this error and warning:AutoCAD Writer: An error occurred for dataset 'dgn\DI\vydej_di_L1.dgn', in function AutoCAD2004Writer::write.

For my client we run a lot of translations on their FME server that write to Snowflake. For like 99% of the time that runs without any failures. However, occasionally we are getting the following run time error: "COM.safe.fme.jdbc.TranslationFailureException: net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeSQLException: JDBC driver internal error: {0}." Unfortunately this is a rather non-descript error (I wonder what {0} is). Also this error only occurred after our upgrade from FME Server 2020 to 2022.2. Rerunning the exact same translation the next day so far did not result into this error. So, does anyone have an idea how to prevent this from happening? Frank

Hi,I have a very basic workbench in FME 2022.2.8Reading features from a MSSQL table and writing to another, it is a FeatureReader/FeatureWriter combon in a dynamic workflow using the schema from the FeatureReader. This is using JDBC MSSQL Spatial.If the geometry column is set to EMPTY the writing fails with the message:MS SQL Server Spatial (JDBC) Writer: Error writing feature. Error: IFMEFeature.exportGeometryToOGCWKB: Unable to export geometry to OGC WKBExamining the feature in the database one can find it using SHAPE.STIsEmpty() = 1 and  SHAPE.STAsText() returns “GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY”

Hi, It seems there is no easy way to do this from what I have read on this topic. I really wish for a way to extract coded domains from feature classes in an SDE geodatabase.  I don’t even have to have the field names since I have named the domains after the featureclass, subtype and field it is attatched to. How can I get a hold of domain lists within FME? The point for me is to regularly be able to pull out lists of the options my users have in different fields since these need to be looked over now and then.

Hello, parameter newbie here apologies... but could anyone provide a link or information on how to configure parameters dynamically from a csv so that users can identify the Address column they want to use for the geocoder in the app-- as users will typically bring their own csv schema to the app for geocoding.  Thanks for any help here!!

I’ve been dabbling in the latest release of FME Form 2024 for a little while now and I’m just not getting the benefits of the new look, specifically the removal of colour from most icons.I could go into personal reasons why colour helps myself with attention to detail, concentration and focus but I’m just wondering if it’s possible to get a classic look while utilising any new functionality.

Hi, I have FME 2023.0.2.1 (64 bit) and ArcGIS Pro 3.1 with Python 3.9.16 installed on my machines.The FME workspaces I run uses Arcpy 3, so I specified the “python compatibility” parameter in the workspace (under scripting) as “Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+” and the “Preferred Python Interpreter” under FME options - Translation as “Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9”.This setting works for all other machines (incl. local and VM) except one machine.With one machine, I get this python compatibility error: ERROR : A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+' The strange thing is, if I set the python compatibility parameter as Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9 with this machine, it works just fine. The only difference I can think of is maybe the normal python 3.11.4 which is also installed on this machine.Maybe this is somehow interrupting when FME is searching for python...?

I have a flat table from a survey that is conducted by clients. I want to aggregate this data at the end of the month and send it to various staff that has had a survey submitted by our clients for their work. I’ve aggregated this data accordingly which produces a list. The aggregated results may differ based on how many surveys get submitted for each staff member that helps our clients. I have also generated a basic email template using the “HTMLReportGenerator” transformer. However, I’m having a hard time iterating through the list populate the HTMLReportGenerator. I’m looking to email each staff member their survey results from the month.Any help or guidance on this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks
