Esri Licensing has problem with ArcGIS Pro in FME 2024?

I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1, ArcGIS Pro 2.5 and it is working well in FME 2023+But in FME2024 version I have problem with reading and writing geodatabase, I get the following error message:“Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details”“Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'GEODATABASE_FILE' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See logfile for more information”“Workspace generation failed. Parameter file was C:\Users\Acer\AppData\Local\Temp\FME_1709721529788_18364”I guess the FME2024 version has problems with ESRI licensing or maybe a change in licensing methods.A

FME Form Floating Lic compatibility with earlier versions

We have FME 2022 with floating lic, with 2 editions, Database, and ESRI. Would like to install FME Form 2024.0 along side FME 2022. I know at some point Safe did away with Lic Editions, any idea if we can use the same FME 2022 lic file and make it also work for FME Form 2024 ? .

Disable "View Written Data Key" in Automation Writer in FME Form

I have a workspace in FME Form 2021. It includes an Automation Writer. This writer writes keys from FME Form to my Automation in FME Flow 2021, Given this is the 1st time I have pushed FME Attributes into an Automation as Keys, just being curious, I clicked on the “View Written Data” icon in the Automation Writer. It gave some errors and a new windows opened with red in the parameter boxes. It would seem wise to disable this icon when a Automation Writer is chosen. Are there any plans to do this? This does not impact my workspace or Automation. It just seems a bit annoying, unless I am missing something? See my screenshots for a better illustration of what I see happening:

IFC Annotation Size

Hi,I have a shape file and want to create some geometries and annotations and export them as IFC.The geometries are correctly exported. But the Annotations are really small in the exported IFC file. I used the Scaler before exporting the IFCAnnotation. But the problem is that the scaler doesn’t change the Size of the text, but also the location of it. Can anyone help me please to make the Annotations larger and also have them in their correct location?

limiting reader with WHERE clause but datestamp functions are failing/confusing me

I am trying to do incremental updates from a secondary database (ArcSDE Geodb) because the entire original dataset is > 400k rows and times out or chokes FME. But I have tried about seven different ways and cannot get the WHERE clause to do anything meaningful (except 400 fatal error, which is maybe meaningful but not useful). If it does not fail fatally, it just brings the entire dataset in, or crashes at around 325k. The current attempt is DATEDIFF(day,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,[Updated_On]) < 2 - I also tried various permutations of [Updated On] > DATEDIFF(day,-1,@GetDate) but that seems pretty clearly to not work for ESRI data (there are so many years of FME advice online, searching is a bit hazadous). [Updated_On] > DATEADD(day,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) worked using SSMS to hit the secondary database directly, but seems to do nothing in FME... I do not have any control over the source database format or view - but can confirm that [Updated On] is ‘datetime2(7)’ not string. In Da

MongoDB Reader creates GeometryCollections

MongoDB Reader creates Geometry Collections if the mongo collection contains more than one geometry field. Is there a way to choose which one of these fields should be treated as a geometry?

Hi everyone. I am reading data from an Esri Geodatabase. I have an issue with the Shape area reading as negative values. I have tried the geometry validator with Area Orientation set to “right” as with “Allow Left” and “Check doughnuts only” does not deliver any repair results. After the feometry validation, my repaired results still contain the negative area values. Negative values after geometry validatorIs there another way of solving this, I know the issue can be resolved in ArcMap wit geometry repair is there a similar way of doing this with FME?

XML has no Schema when reading with FeatureReader

Hi, I am having an issue with feature readers and XML. I have a process which downloads an XML file from an ftp site, and the file name changes daily. Upon download, I am trying to trigger a second process which reads the downloaded xml, so I can then split it into separate records (hence why reading in as text will not work, as I need the xml fragments). I use a path reader, to get the file name, but when I put ‘Path_Windows’ as the dataset, i get this error: error message If I choose to ignore the message, and run to the featurereader, It reads in the correct amount of records (59), but the schema is blank. Blank Schema Log Error message Now, i know for a fact that my xml does in fact, have a schema, because if I hard code the file name in the feature reader, it works perfectly fine. (see below) FeatureReader with hard coded file nameSuccessfully read The parameters are identical on both. FeatureReader Parameters I am at a total loss as to why when I want to put in a dynamic

Feature readers does not read any feature from AutoCad DWG/DXF Format

I am attempting to convert a DXF/DWG file into the IMDF format. Following the instructions outlined in the first and second articles, I have successfully preprocessed and located the DXF file.However, I am encountering an issue at part 3 of the process. The Reader does not seem to be reading any features as expected.The tutorial I'm following can be found here. One thing, I updated the reader format from Autodesk AutoCAD RealDWG DWG/DXF to Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF.Because I could not load module '/Library/FME/2023.2/plugins/realdwg/realdwg.so' .But i do not think that causes the problem.I would greatly appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting this problem. Thank you.

FeatureReader - Schema GDB name Final Output

Hi All,I have created a workspace that reads all GDBs included in a folder (and subfolders) and export a few attributes to an excel file but now need to bring the GDB name (path_filename) into the final output. I tried to expose the attribute to bring it along the workflow but seems isn’t part of the unexposed attributes.I was expecting to see the GDB name as part of the Generic elements (within the unexposed attributes) but the GDB is only in the <Schema>,How can I bring the GDB name as column in the final output (excel file in this case)?<Generic> screenshot<Schema> Screenshot

Trying to execute python file from pythoncaller

Dear FME community, apologies up front for being a novice python userI am trying to use the python caller transformer to execute an external .py file. However my external .py file does not have any classes therefore I don’t know what to do with the ‘Class to process features’ parameter in the transformer. If I run the python caller regardless, it executes my .py script fine, but crashes at the end with this error message “PythonFactory failed to load python symbol `FeatureProcessor'”. This is because I’m using the default ‘FeatureProcessor’ as my parameter for the “class to process features”, which I know is wrong.My python script simply generates a JPG file and saves it to a directory.I hope someone can assist and I haven’t totally missed the point.Regards, Damian

Adobe Geospatial PDF Reader: Text highlight extraction

Hi everyone! I am new to using FME software and I am trying to use FME Form to extract information from a PDF using the Adobe Geospatial PDF reader. I was wondering if it was possible to somehow extract the color of the text in the document. For example, if I had a PDF document with yellow highlighting and blue highlighting, being able to extract the bits that are only yellow and only blue. Thanks!

3d tiles

Hi, I have been working on CESIUM 3DTiles generation, but I am facing challenges because the results are not aligned with my intended goals. Specifically, I am unable to achieve the desired mesh quality. The input files consist of a GeoTIFF with a resolution of 6 centimeters per pixel, and the point cloud data is stored in a LAZ file containing over 250 million points. Despite these inputs, the resulting mesh quality remains disappointingly low. I am seeking guidance on how to improve my workspace and achieve a high-quality mesh.

ArcPro maximum and minimum supported versions?

Hi There,After a recent upgrade of ArcPro (to v 3.1.0) I am now seeing this notation in FME Desktop and FME Server logs....Current installed ArcGISPro version '3.1.0' is unsupported. Minimum supported version is '2.3.0', and maximum supported version is '3.0.0'....what does this mean exactly?...do I need to upgrade FME?...on Desktop it doesnt seem to make a difference (I can still successfully run operations), but now some Scheduled Services are failing in FME Server and I am wondering if this is the reason. Thank you
