Hello,  it is possible to see a FME workspace CPU usage at the end of a job in the logging. However, when you activate a stream it will occupy an Engine and it will not give CPU usage in the logging. Is there a way to find or register the CPU usage of a stream that runs 24/7?

Hi! I’m new with FME Workbench. I’m used to using QGIS or ArcGIS, in where you can easily find and configure a map layer for your vector layer. In this case, I found Workbench 2025 doesn’t come with background maps pre configurated, so I came up with a simpler way of having one, without the need of a token.As you may know  WMS stands for Web Map Service. It's an OGC standard for serving up map images over HTTP. Fo adding a new background map:  In this particular

I have a workspace that works without issues in FME 2024.2.1. We are planning to upgrade to FME 2025, but I am facing issues. When riunning the workspace in FME 2025, it seems to work fine, but after a while I get lots of a recurring message like this one:2025-06-02 11:38:25| 119.2|  0.2|ERROR |FFS reader: Failed to open file 'D:\FMETemp\wbrun_1748852462857_30000\fmetmp_0\FMETable_1748853274266_18156\FTShim_1019.fts' for reading.  Please ensure that the file exists and you have sufficient privileges to read itThese messages DO NOT appear when running the workspace in FME Form/Flow 2024.2.1I have tried FME Form/Flow 2025.0.2 and FME Form 2025.1 (beta) and all of these fails.I have set my FME_TMP environment variable to D:\FMETempDoes anyone have an idea?

It seems that any file with a # in the filename won't download when using the SharePoint online connector transformer. I want to download using the _fullpath method.  Simply --> if the filename is FOO_1 it works. If it's FOO#1 it doesn't. The rejection code is SHAREPOINT_ERROR , the URL it's trying to DL is:SharepointOnlineConnector: Error making request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0//sites/ac[HIDDEN]%20November%20#4.jpg: The resource could not be found.Is there any way to get around this? I have tried the URL ENCODER and STRING REPLACER transformers to try and manually encode the # symbol but it doesn't like this. Presumably because it's trying to encode it "again"

Hi,We see that AI is gradually being integrated directly into ArcGIS workflows — and increasingly into other GIS platforms as well. I’m therefore curious about the status and direction regarding AI within FME.Are we likely to see developments such as: Natural language interaction with FME (describing what you want to achieve rather than manually navigating specific transformers) Built-in dataset analysis with automatic detection of inconsistencies and suggested corrections AI-assisted workspace generation based on existing patterns and usage — for example, proposing or automatically building new workbenches based on previously created workflows when you need it More generally: How does SAFE see the role of AI evolving within FME? When can we expect more visible AI-driven functionality in FME Form and Flow? Are there upcoming releases, beta programs, or

Hello,I have an editable view in PostGIS (PostgreSQL) and I'm trying to write in it with FME.For that, I've:Added my view from a PostGIS reader (to have its structure - and confirm it exists)Duplicated this view in a new PostGIS writer (to keep its structure)Set the table handling as `Use existing`Connected a worflow to end in my viewBut when I run the workspace, I'm facing this error:POSTGIS Writer: Table 'xxx.yyy' does not exist. Please check the Table Name specified, or modify the Table Handling value under Format ParametersSo my question is: is it possible to write in an editable view?For the record, I can write in my view with another client (QGIS) with the same credentials.Thanks for any input.Rémi

I export a shape file, the prj file includes only this: PROJCS [ "MAGNA-SIRGAS / Origen-National" which is the name of my cs. What I have to do to have a correct prj file?

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.

On FME Flow we added a Network Based Resource. In FME Flow, I can see that the system path of this Network Based Resource is characterized with a parameter, e.g. '$(My_Network_Based_Resource)'. I had some trouble on using that parameter in a workspace with FME Form Workbench. FME Form is not aware that this parameter exists, and upon using it in e.g. a path reader.Is there any way that you can expose additional FME Flow parameters to FME Form Workbench? As a workaround I was able to use a ParameterFetcher, and then feeding in the attribute value of the Network Based Resource into the FeatureReader, but that seems not ideal. Also, the ParameterFetcher does show a Red Cogwheel, because it is not aware of the parameter. Another alternative is probably to create an additional 'FileURL' type of parameter, and set the (default) value for that parameter to '$(My_Network_Based_Resource)'. However, also here it seems th

Hi,As Safe people do some fun projects with AI like https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe-sandbox/templates/agentic-ai-spatial-schema-mapping-template-gemini, would it be possible to do one preparing one or multile schema mapping file(s) instead of mapping all data through AI? You could just send a sample to Gemini/OpenAI (you name it), with the associated schema and restructure the output into something accepted by SchemaMapper. This would be better for performance, safety and the planet 😊. Quite many transformers could be adapted to digest an input like schemamapper so that they can be configured by AI agents in a nicer way. Thanks! 

I followed the procedure for silent installation of FME Form 2023.2, but without succcess. Here is the command I write in the console, with Admin rights :fme-form-2023.2-b23764-win-x64.exe -d"C:\\FME\\installer" -s -sp"/qn /norestart" The fme-form Logfile which is created notes a successful installation in the end:Product: FME Form 2023.2 (Build 23764 - win64) -- Installation completed successfully. However, I cannot find the software installed... No shortcut and no program in the default C:\\Programs\\FME.Could you explain why the installation is not finished?

As the question title states, I would like to use the SharePoint Online Connector to download files from SharePoint to my local computer's drive. I was able to set up the connector using a web service and it says "translation successful" when I run the SharePoint Online Connector on it's own but I'm not sure what readers and/or writers to add, or is there something wrong in the parameters? The files on SharePoint vary from .docx, .xlsx, and .pdf formats If someone has a basic template to show that would be great. Thanks!

Is it possible to map an AUTOCAD Attribute prompt rather than the AUTOCAD attribute Tag to the FME Input Attribute for the purpose of extracting AutoCAD block data. I am trying to gab the following data from AutoCAD. All the properties have a tag name of - so only the last one (SCALE) is able to be mapped currently. Can this be done please? Thanks.

My current FME Server setup includes a CORE/2 Engines set up on one machine with another Engine-Only Host running remotely on another machine. Recently, I noticed jobs on the remote machine queuing up and never processing. Restarting the FME Server Engines Windows service temporarily fixed the problem. But only for a few hours. I don't see any errors in logs. But I've just switched to debug level logging for more info and hope to capture some. What I do notice is that in FME Server web console, under licensing & engines, the remote engine just won't show up. Once I restart the service, I see it under both the Engines tab and the Deployment Status tab, until it disappears again. Unlikely this is service account related (as other similar post/solutions suggest) since I can restart service and then it runs for a bit. I did make a change regarding domain controller/Active Directory recently but rolled that back and it didn't

I have a WFS that has over 500K features. I want to retrieve just those that intersect my area of interest. If I have a polygon of my AOI and send it to a FeatureReader, with no spatial filter, then I get 30K features (or whatever the Max Features is set to on the WFS connection).  If I set the Spatial Filter to Bounding Boxes OGC-Intersect or Initiator OGC-Intersects results, I get the schema, but no actual features. My aoi and the WFS data are in the same projection. If I use a boundsExtractor and HTTPCaller and manually create the call, {redacted}/ows?service=wfs&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeNames={redacted}&bbox=@Value(_ymin),@Value(_xmin),@Value(_ymax),@Value(_xmax) Then I get just the subset of features I'm interested in. I would much rather use a FeatureReader. What am I missing to get a spatial constraint working?

When using the FeatureWriter, it wants me to provide a subfolder. I cannot leave it blank. I need to be able to write the file to the root of the file share. I am doing a move and not a copy. any thoughts?

Hi everybody, Do you know if Home licence of FME still available?

Interpreting an FME model can be challenging at times, so having a function that exports every transformer/tool used in the model and automatically providing an interpretation of their actions would be helpful. Is this possible in FME?

I'd like to use non capturing groups in StringSearch. It is possible in the PCRE expression but seems not to work in FME :Example :On the string "This is a text string"(?:This is )(\\w)* should return only the string "a", but StringSearch returns the whole "This is a" in the "first_match", and only "a" in the subgroup when activated.First match should be the same as the first subset ?

Is it possible to only read the (selected) attributes, and not the geometry?Quite often, I need to join the attributes from two spatial datasets, but only need the geometry from one. And I am assuming that reading in only the selected attributes without geometry is noticeably faster than reading the attributes with geometry.Is it possible to read any dataset without geometry (other than reading it with and then doing a GeometryRemover)? And does this apply to all formats?

Hello, I want to access an api (not open to public but from one of our suppliers) using the HttpCaller .Connecting to the API with postman works fine. Connecting from the same server with FME gives the error: HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'SSL connect error'HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set upHTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been entered Connecting with FME from another environment works fine. We dont use a proxy.I have changed the option: Verify SSL certificates to NO Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Hi All I have an FME Server App configured for data streaming with two output: one a HTML page, the other an MS Excel file. Independently, either output is streamed to the browser but when both selected, a zip file containing both is streamed. Is it in any way possible for the HTML to be streamed to display, with the Excel file streamed for download?

Setting up writer by default adds attribute: fme: fill-opacity="0.1" to each feature. Is there a simple way to add  fill-opacity="0.1"to each feature instead ?  UPDATE: As per a comment by @chrisatsafe, I am interested in setting style per feature in this scenario to obtain this transparency effect you see below. The thing is, 'fill-opacity' has to be set to the same value 0.1 for all features within dataset.  Thank you,Aleksei

On the item page of a hosted service you can export to fgdb and other formats. The benefit of this over an fme reader and writer workflow is the easy preservation of unique ids, relationships and attachments. The also take no local compute power/time. Is there a way perform the "Export To FGDB" or other formats within FME?I see that there is a method to download items from arcgis online with the use of the ArcGISOnlineConnector (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2020.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/arcgisonlineconnector.htm)If I could create the fgdb through fme, I'm pretty sure I could also download and manipulate it within a workspace. I'm doing some lengthy transformations on a million+ records. Performing these actions through the Onlin
