Workspace description not appering on form anymore

Hi,I am a very basic Flow/Server user, but handy enough at Form/Desktop. My company recently upgraded from 2022 to 2023. I have noticed after the change a few of my workspaces no longer have their description appearing online and I can’t work out why this wouldn’t.For example, in the workspace description I would usually put a basic description or some instructions. I then publish it to Flow, and it used to be that the description would be in the online interface. Does anyone know what’s going on and how I can make this reappear?It used to appear here:The workspace does have a description:

Resolve Domains Replication of FCs in EGDB

Hi all,I am working on a script to replicate a set of feature classes from one enterprise geodatabase that we use for transactional editing purposes to another enterprise geodatabase that we use for publication purposes for the organization. This replication script would be scheduled in FME Server to run on a nightly basis.The issue is that the feature classes I plan on replicating have several domains and subtypes applied to them that don’t translate correctly.I’ve been advised to use the ‘Resolve Domains’ functionality and change the configuration from ‘coded domain’ type to ‘char’.My test workflow involves the below:Copying the feature class via the ‘Import Feature Class’ tool in ArcGIS Pro into the target Enterprise Geodatabase to have the feature class available in both geodatabases With FME:Selecting the ‘Resolve Domains’ checkbox in the Writer at the outset, and using the ‘Insert’ and ‘Truncate Existing’In the Writer configuration, changing the ‘coded domain’ type to ‘char’ and

Please find the below snapshot of the options in workbench : Also, want to mention that - when I did ran the workbench in FME Desktop - it updates the data only when I use the option “Rerun Entire Workspace”, but when I use the option “Run Workspace” - I am seeing the cached data.

Replace Line Feeds/Carriage Returns and Tabs with properly recognized JSON

Hi all,i’m building an FME desktop workspace for eventual use with a server automation. we’re taking some emails, parsing them for some specific data, reading text files with additional information, and then putting it all together to be sent out via an API for a software called Desk Alerts.Where i am running into issues is - the text files are UTF-8 encoded and contain line feeds and tabs that the API isn’t happy with.so for instance i might have a message that looks like: now you can see i’ve got 4 tabs and almost 20 line feeds.this text is actually the combined result of several files and the content is variable so for readability’s sake maintaining the line feeds (and preferably the tabs) is paramount.When sending to the API, i get the following error response: {"status":"Error","errorMessage":"Request model invalid","data":{"validationErrors":["[queryParam] : The queryParam field is required.","[$.body] : '0x0A' is invalid within a JSON string. The string should be correctly escap

Write logfile "ERROR" messages to a database attribute table table

Hey FME Community!I'm working on a project where I need to write logfile "ERROR" messages to a database attribute table. Specifically, I want to capture the time of writing data whenever an error occurs, and then collect that error information into the database attribute table.I'm wondering if anyone has experience or suggestions on how best to achieve this within FME. Are there any transformers or workflows you've used successfully for similar tasks? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!Looking forward to hearing from you all and learning from your expertise!

FeatureJoiner or FeatureMerger

Hi All,I’m working on a workflow that requires filtering some values based on a Lookup table. I’ve initially thought using FeatureJoiner to join and filter the values but doesn’t give me the desired results as the 1:M relationship doesn’t work. I have thought about the FeatureMerger to apply the 1:M relationship but can’t get it to work.Below a few screenshots of the tables:Table A- Example of the table to join (by TexString)Table B - LookUp table (by TextString - Column B)Only the highlighted cells will be used to join Below is the part of the workflow to filter the value in the Table A but the join doesn’t do 1:M. There’s 193 records highlighted in yellow in the LookUp but the FeatureJoiner only joins 189 from the 1,363 records from Table A….and I’m expecting more values after the join as for example N = North Lines and S = South Lines values appears multiple times in the Table A and need to keep all of them. That’s why I think the 1:M is the one to apply here? Any trick to make the

Hi everyone!I’ll try to explain what we need...Nowadays, we have a download system based on Geoserver. When someone wants to download some data in KML format from the viewer, the data contain the same style you are displaying. So, you can open this KML in Google Earht and you can display it with the same symbology. Now, we want to change this download system and we want to do it using FME. But, when we download a KML, we have lost the symbology, beacuse we get data from database, not from Geoserver. Nevertheless, Geoserver contains SLD files from each layer. KMLStyler transformer can assign an static symbology, but this isn't what we want.The question is, is there any way to assign dynamicly, the SLD to KML, in order to display with the right symbology? That is, can we read he content of SLD and assign the colours to KML?

Difference between Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader/Writer.and Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader/Writer

I am making my first workspace that uses a reader for a hosted feature layer from Portal. I notice that I am able to use the Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader/Writer as well as the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader/Writer to achieve this. My question is what is the difference? As the end result was the same for both.The Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader/Writer seemed far simpler to use as all I needed was the user and password plus the feature layer URL while for the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader/Writer I had to enter the host, user, password and feature service which was the folder location of the feature layer plus the feature service ID on the end in brackets in order to get it to work. I am using FME 2018.0 as well if that makes a difference.

PDF Writer: Creation of Annotation objects?

This may end up as an Idea, but wanted to ask the community first: I have been trying to find some way to generate pdfs of floor plans that will contain annotation objects at specific coordinates, labeling things in the floor plan where the annotation can then be edited/appended. Also, I want to ‘embed’ a GUID in each annotation that can be used to link back to other systems. Use Case:Taking a pdf of floor plans onto a construction site, making comments on the provided annotations that can later be loaded into a Revit model by leveraging the GUIDs that came from Revit objects. The pdf could be generated directly from a Revit model, or coordinate and GUID data could be extracted separately and added as a layer. You can imagine most buildings contain hundreds if not thousands of components that need to be maintained and tracked. This is a universal problem for building owners and maintenance personnel. As far as I can tell, there is no way to create these objects, only tooltips

using the result of anchoredsnap as the new input for every iteration.

Hello, I have a folder containing multiple shapefiles, for example, (a, b, d, e, f...). My objective is to utilize the AnchoredSnapper transformer in the following manner: initially, snap shapefile 'a' with 'b', where 'a' serves as the anchor. Then, the resulting snapped shapefile will be used as the anchor and snapped with 'c', and so forth until all shapefiles are snapped. I tried to implement loops but the problem is that the output have to be the new output after every iteration, so i can't get a configuration of the loop. I appreciate any assistance or proposition you can provide. Thank you.This is my wokspace and the custom transformer , using a loop.

Versioned geodatabase edit session writes 'successful', but not all are written

No errors, warnings or anything indicating an issue in the log at all. The problem:Only even 1000 are written. For example, 9454 features result in that FME log displays all written successfully, but only 9000 features exist in the geodatabase. If i use cloner and increase the feature count to even 10 000 all features are saved. Any suggestions?
