SDE Feature Reader issue in 2023.2 - strange behavior on Feature Readers for SDE connections configured in a previous version of FME

When reviewing an old workspace in FME Form 2023.2, I noticed that if I opened a Feature Reader or Feature Writer that previously had an SDE connection file path referenced in the connection parameters that the parameter was now blank. If no changes are made, the workspace runs to completion as normal. No errors are thrown and no transformers are marked as “incomplete” in the navigator pane. This tells me that those pathways are stored somewhere. This does not appear to be an issue with other data types like csv, xls, or file geodatabases. These file types used in a feature reader all have their connection file parameter populated when opened in 2023.2. This does not appear to be an issue if a Reader or Writer is used rather than Feature Reader or Feature Writer transformers. A Reader or Writer configured to work in a previous version of FME using an SDE connection file path is populated when opened in 2023.2.How I would expect to see the connection parameters when settings for the tra

Arcpy in python caller crashes ArcGIS Pro

Hi, I wrote some code to copy feature classes from one gdb to another.Everything runs fine through python, but it fails when I try adding it to a python caller - Specifically, it crashes ArcGIS Application.

Feature Holder Transformer - example of when to use?

I am reviewing some of the Transformers I either rarely use or have never used and came across the Feature Holder. Can someone provide me an example or two of why/when it would be a good idea to use the Feature Holder Transformer?

ESRI Reprojector - GCS WGS84 and PCS WGS84 Spherical Mercator

I am building a workbench that uses spatial filters, I have several readers input to the spatial filters that have different source coordinate systems. Originally, I used the ESRI reprojector to convert everything to 3TM (EPSG: 3776) prior to the spatial filters. This included a file with a source coordinate system of WGS84 Spherical Mercator (EPSG: 3857). However, my end result is about 4 feet off of where it should be. I tried selecting a transformation (I used Pro to see which transformation they used when I used the project tool and selected that one) but the result was still the same. I performed the projection in Pro on the same file and it was successful so it was a bit confusing as to what I was missing in FME. I decided to instead project my other files to WGS84 Spherical Mercator and work within that coordinates system. It was successful. I am guessing I may be using the ESRI reprojector incorrectly, or missing an input.

Geotiff band offset and scaling

In my particular use case the scaling is constant and I can just apply a correction, but I was wondering if there is a setting I’m missing to have FME apply the scaling/offset automatically.

Is FeatureJoiner necessary after ChangeDetector to update with ESRI Portal Feature Service Writer?

I am comparing records from two sources. I want to sync the records from one source to the other source. I am using ChangeDetector to do this (Workbench 2023.1). Output wise, what is the difference between these two workbench configurations? (one with the FeatureJoiner and one without the FeatureJoiner). When I look in the output database, as far as I can tell, I am getting my desired outcome without needing the FeatureJoiner but I want to make sure I am not overlooking something.Is it necessary to use FeatureJoiner on the records coming out of the “updated” port of the ChangeDetector before pushing the records to the ESRI Portal Feature Service writer? The examples I am coming across are using a FeatureJoiner after the ChangeDetector for the updated records e.g.:https://support.safe.com/s/article/how-do-i-write-updates-to-an-existing-arcgis-onlin

Trying to update fields in an AGOL layer and FME script keeps failing after first 3000 features

I am trying to update approximately 10 attribute fields in a point layer in AGOL using FME. When I run the script, it keeps failing and I’m not sure where the hang-up is based on the warning and error messages I am getting. Below is what I keep getting once my script has failed, with the ones in red being the error messages (the last two bullet points): Feature Caching is ON The workspace may run slower because features are being output and recorded on all output ports regardless of whether or not there is a connection.

Convert a Geodatase to KML

Curious incident using SQL Server - huge log file as a result

Hi.I just had a job on our FME server 2022.2.2 go haywire.When reading from one or more database tables, it suddenly spews out a _lot_ of error messages, repeating the same two lines from line 319 to line 865997 (on page 1734):Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: An internal error has occurred. Please visit http://www.safe.com/supportMicrosoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Failed to parse datetime, attribute set as nullWhat gives ? Should I be concerned ?I've occasionally encountered huge log files before, but haven't had any idea why. Next time I'll see if it's the same issue.The job took several minutes (as opposed to normally a handful of seconds) to finish, which is not good.Cheers.

Finding Start and End Names of Intersected Road Network Lines

Hello FME Experts,I'm currently working with road network spatial data, which contains a multitude of line features representing roads. Each road feature intersects with others, and I need to determine the correct start and end names for each road segment (i.e., the names of the roads at the start and end nodes).I'm wondering if there's an efficient way to accomplish this using FME. Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on:How to identify the start and end nodes of each road segment. How to extract the names associated with these nodes.Any suggestions, workflows, or examples would be immensely helpful. Thank you for your insights!Best regards,Vishnu N V

Change Detector - Attribute Matching Strategy

Hi, I am using the Change Detector transformer and had planned on using the Match all Except Selected Attributes parameter for the Attribute Matching Strategy since my list of excluded fields is shorter than the list of included fields. I'm wondering if this parameter is working as it should? Everything appears to have changed when I used this parameter (which is not correct). However, when I reverse it and use the Match Selected Attributes (and select all the appropriate fields), it works as expected. I can use the transformer the way that I have it working but I was wondering if I am missing something? Thanks, fiona P.S. I'm using FME 2013 Build 13264 WIN 32 with SDE 10.1 data (from SQL Server).

FME user parameter cannot pass from ArcGIS Pro model builder

Hi! I am currently stuck on this: There is a FME model that is functioning in the FME tool.The input field for tree symbology is a user public parameter, it’s linked to the attribute to filter in attributefilter.When I try to import the FME tools to ArcGIS Pro, I found that no matter what I input to the user parameters, they can’t be passed to the FME model, which causing the attribute filter to export <Missing> values: (I think that’s because the filter is not reading the attribute name correctly, which is the user parameter I defined) the FME model is input as spatial ETL tools in ArcGIS pro.Here comes the problem: I keep the same input REMARKS, however the input parameter is not passed to attributefilter correctly in ArcGIS Pro.
