Source or destination reverting to a published parameter

I have existing FME scripts that run fine. I edit one, could be just a transformer or anything, and some, not all, of the sources and destinations sometimes change into published parameters. When I then have these scripts run, manually or through a scheduled task dos batch file, it won't run without the inputs. I don't want these to be published parameters, but they revert to them sometimes.

Porting the EasyTranslator Sample Demo on my server

How do I modify the EasyTranslator sample to run on my local FME Server?I can successfully run the EasyTranslator workspace on my server but and I have downloaded and copied the playground demo to my web server. This version also runs when using the demos.fmeserver.com.s3.amazonaws.com url but not when using my server. What are the steps to convert the demo web application to use your own server? I think I have the workbench and workspace set up fine. I am pretty sure I just need to know how to port the sample to use my server.I have tried changing the host and token to use my local values in the easy translator.js and resource.js files but get odd behavior.I also created what I think is a correctly formatted version of the server-demo-config.json file using my local values as well. Not sure why that does not work either.Thanks for any tips or links to other questions....this is my first FME forum question!

Projecting CSV on polygons

All,I am thinking of combining geometries and CSV data. This is the case: I have 2D polygons with among others a linking attribute say attr1. For example geometry 1, geometry 2. (10000 geometries) I like to project an CSV file (10000 records) without geometries or coordinates in an 0/1/M:0/1/M as points (random) on the polygons bases on the same value of attr1. So polygon 1 point 2 and 3 and polygon 2 point 6 and polygon 3 no points etc.What is the easiest/fastest way to calculate? I am using FME2014 SP2.Thanks in advance!Maarten

After setting the clocks back to Standard Time a scheduled job runs an hour earlier

After setting the clocks to Standard Time a scheduled job runs an hour earlier although the time of the server has been correctly changed. Example: Scheduled job is defined for 2.30 pm, but now runs at 1.30 pm.

DateFormatter in Dynamic workspace (attribute name unknown)

We have a dynamic, schema independent workflow. In order to write our output properly to shapefiles, I need to make sure that the fields which are dates, are formatted in ISO Date (%Y-%m-%d) format. The attached workspace uses a list searcher to find the first date attribute (I plan to turn it into a custom transformer to be able to loop so I can find all date attributes, but that's for later). With the listSearcher index I get the attribute name which is a date. The corresponding attribute name retrieved using a small piece of python, storing the name in an attribute named _dateAttribute. This name is passed on onto another custom transformer. The custom transformer has a parameter which is using this name. This parameter is used by the DateFormatter to specify which attribute is a date field and thus which field it should format. In stead of the attribute name however, the DateFormatter is trying to convert a field name @Value(_dateAttribute). Parallel to the dateformatter, I add

Max. length of path name (in XML reader) ?

Hi,This is a very simple question. I have the XML reader crash over an XML file in one location and not with a copy of the same file in another location.Is there are limit to how long the path names given to the reader may be ?In ye olden days I remember something about 127 characters, but I think that's increased significantly since then.My original file path name length was 120 characters, 129 if the backslashes are doubled (C string). This errs.My alternative location is only half that, and that works.Both locations are on the same network drive (and share).Cheers Lars I.

How to manage converting unclassified XYZ to Minecraft?

I'm trying to convert XYZ point cloud to DEM so I can generate a Minecraft world. After searching and reading "How to make Minecraft worlds" article I saw the Norway example (las2MinecraftFMEpediais workbench) by @dmitribagh similar to what I'm trying to implement, unless it is using classification attribute values (e.g. 2 for ground, or 5 for vegetation), while my XYZ point cloud doesn't have these attribute values.In the Norway example, the point cloud has another classification attribute values for water (9 or 18), while the one I have has no points for water or spaces under bridge for example. I'm attaching a picture of my dataset in the FME inspector. How could that XYZ be used to make a Minecraft world out of it? Appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks

How to debug Matcher vs DuplicateFilter vs FeatureMerger = different answers!

Again, not really a question, more something that might help those trying to understand different results from these transformers.Two source File Geodatabases with identical schemas.2152 features in one, 148 in the other.FeatureMerger (merge Attributes and Geometry) using the unique ID field for the data (not ObjectID) = 93 Merged (exists in both), 2059 NotMerged (only in Requestor), 55 Unreferenced (only in Supplier), plus 93 Referenced which as I understand it and appears so from Inspector, should be the same features that come out of the merged port.Merged, NotMerged and Unreferenced are sent to Sorter then DuplicateFilter and Matcher, neither of which find any duplicates which is what I was hoping. This results in 2207 unique features.However, I also sent Merged and Referenced to Matcher which says that 186 (93+93) were NotMatched! I used Match Selected Attributes and ticked everything except Object ID and numReferences. You might ask why? Changing Matched to NOT differentiate b

Start FME from command line: Wait until translation is finished

Hi thereI'm wondering if there is a way to start the same FME-workspace within a loop (input different parameters) and to ensure that the next iteration waits for the translation of the previous one to complete?I have a Python programm that basically looks like this:fcList = ['A', 'B'] # List of feature classesfor fc in fcList: process = subprocess.Popen(fme.exe workspace --featureClass 'fc') process.wait()  The purpose of my FME workspace is to write some data into a database. The Python program starts this workspace with feature class 'A' in the first iteration. However, as soon as FME is initialized and starts the actual translation, the process seems to be done for Python and it begins with the second iteration. This causes the initialized workspace to stop and to re-inizialize with feature class 'B'. In the end, there is only the final class 'B' in my database.I have also tried for fc in fcList: log = subprocess.check_output(fme.exe Workspace --featureClass 'fc') while "TRANSLATIO

(General) LiDAR Vegetation Class Question

Hi,Can anyone answer a LiDAR point class classification question? According to the ASPRS standard for point class classification, the following class relate to vegetation:3 – Low Vegetation 4 – Medium Vegetation 5 – High VegetationCan anyone tell me whether there are actual ‘standardised’ (above ground) height ranges associated/relating to each of the vegetation class? If so what at the numeric values? For example; 3 – Low Vegetation – 0.0m to 0.5m 4 – Medium Vegetation – 0.5m to 1.0m 5 – High Vegetation – 1.0m to >>mIf there are NOT any standard numeric height ranges; can anyone explain what the Low, Medium and High descriptions actually mean in reality? I have looked at various ASPRS documents but can not find any form of detailed explanation.ThanksRob

Combine attribute tables

Hello world of Safe!A few transformers create objects with the following attribute tables 'Table 1' and 'Table 2'. The attribute 'ID' describes where A is B. I want to combine these tables like you see it in the picture under 'Goal'. First I thought I could merge them with the FeatureMerger, but after that the output just shows the four rows with the ids which exists in both tables.Important: The ids in Table 1 exist in Table 2 in every case. It is not a coincidence!Thank you for answers!Best regards,Felix

64-bit FME reading ArcSDE

We have problems using 64-bit FME (2016.1) to read/write ArcSDE-base. There is ArcGIS 10.4.1 installed with 64-bit background geoprocessing (I can see the bin64 folder) that according to this article should be enough to access ESRI world via GEODATABASE_SDE reader. However when trying to connect with the SDE-base either with existing reader (that works with 32-bit FME) or new one, I got fatal error: Please ensure the connection parameters are correct (server=`Etaklevitus1', instance=`sde:postgresql:Etaklevitus1,5432', user=`levituum_admin', password=`***', database=`levituum', version=`SDE.DEFAULT') Is there somewhere I should look at?Best regards,Raivo AllaEstonian Land Board

Modify buffer geometry

Hi,  I created some buffers around base points of a linestreet and built a convex hull for every pair of points to create buffers around every part of this line street (yeah I know it exists Buffer transformers but a few parts of the buffer cannot be created with the normal bufferers as you perhaps see in the picture). The result can be seen in the upper picture. Now I have to intersect other objects (buildings, landuse areas and others) with these buffers and have to find out how much objects are in each buffer. The problem is that the buffers overlap each other so one object could be intersected in more than one buffer and so the counter would not work fine. The solution might be the construct in the lower picture. I got the idea to merge all the buffers (for example with the Dissolver?) and then create central verticals out of the buffer and base points geometries. Could that be possible? And how?

Date-Attributes: Artificial differences between a Oracle Spatial database and ArcSDE Geodatabase

Hi,I need to compare data from an Oracle Spatial database and from an ArcSDE Geodatabase (with an underlying Oracle database). I carry out the comparison of the data from these two sources in FME using the ChangeDetector. Since FME treats dates between the reader and writer as strings, I have the following issues in ChangeDetector:DateOracle SpatialArcSDE31/12/2011 00:00:00311220110000003112201131/12/2011 03:27:303112201103273031122011032730In the table above you see that when the time is 00:00:00, the date from ArcSDE is a string without the time. The Oracle Spatial reader, however, builds a string that includes the time. When the time is something other than 00:00:00, there is no difference between Oracle Spatial and ArcSDE. As a consequence, ChangeDetector will report changes even for identical data because the date-strings can be different.Since the Workspace is generic and used for a lot of different feature classes, a DateFormatter does not seem to be the solution for me.

Reading unversioned SDE table with archiving enabled

I'm trying to connect to an unversioned table that has archiving enabled. I'm using the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) reader. I connect as the owner of the table, the same user that was used to enable archiving. In the table list i cannot see the table ending in _evw (the database view containing the archived information), only the feature class itself. Should I be able to see the _evw-table?I add this Archive Where clause: GDB_FROM_DATE > 20070101090000When trying to read the features, I get this error message: "Invalid archive where clause. The archive where clause must be in the format 'GDB_FROM_DATE|GDB_TO_DATE <logical operator> <date> [AND GDB_TO_DATE <logical operator> <date>]' and be space delimited."What am I doing wrong? Are there any other fields I should have filled in? Could the date format be wrong? There are no historical versions or historical markers in the database.

How to determine whether "Shutdown Python Script" has been run ?

Hi,I've added a Python script to be run in a workspace after the translation finishes. I.e. the "FME_END_PYTHON_ENC" tag in the FME file.I can see that it hasn't been run (by other means), but I can't find neither the above tag nor keywords from the script mentioned anywhere in the translation log file.How can I determine if the shutdown script has been run or not (if I can't determine it by other means) ?If it errs, I would like to see some error messages, so I can correct it.Cheers Lars I.
