General

I have two FME servers, one test and one production. Both have version 2020.1.3 and a recent installation of ArcGIS Pro 2.6. I have a workspace, also in 2020.1.3 with Python Compatibility set to "Esri ArcGIS Python 3.6". The workspace works fine on desktop which has Pro 2.6 installed. The workspace is published to both servers. It runs without any problem on the test server, but on the production server, it gives this error as shown in attached. It does not generate a log file either. It seems the production server does not know the existence of the Pro 2.6 installation. I have no problem launching Pro 2.6 on the production server. Do I need to do some special configuration on the FME server to work with ArcGIS Pro? I don't think I did anything special on the test server, and yet it works fine with Pro.

Hi Guys, I wonder if anybody can point me i the right direction .... I'm using 2021.0.2 desktop on windows.I have a workbench, it loads an oracle table, I add 2 new fields, and the a transformer ProjAttributeReprojector, this takes an Irish Grid TM73 [epsg: 29903] and reprojects to ITM (IRENET95 / Irish Transverse Mercator [EPSG:2157]).. Then I use the Transformer - VertexCreater to create a point layer which is in ITM (IRENET95 / Irish Transverse Mercator).When I analyze this layer all looks good except the location of the point and the new fields containg the x,y reprojected coordinates are incorrect on average 30cm difference to what the should be using reference data supplied by the vendor, similar reprojections performed in Arcgis Pro and ArcMap and using the online tool supplied by the National Mapping Agency to perform coordinate conversion. The verndor, ArcGis Pro, Arcmap and Online tool are all the same value.So my question is - How do I improve the accuracy? is it possibl

I have used an Attribute Manager to create a new attribute for a file path. The path is for example c:\\FME\\data\\myworspace\\sourcefile.htmlThe output from the Attribute Manager is c:\\FME\\data/myworkspace\\sourcefile.html It is outputting a random / in the middle of the path rather than \\.This results in the path failing to work.  I can use a string replacer after to correct it but it is not working correctly. Any ideas on why it does this would be great.

I want tot download data using the httpcaller (zipped gml) and read it with the featurereader. The problem is that the featurereader will not have any output ports since the data is to be downloaded first. How do I get the featurereader to have the right output ports or 'remember' them from previous times I ran the worlspace?

Hello everyone and welcome to your weekly FME news. It's Mark here, deputizing for Liz today. New Release: FME2021.0.3A new update to the 2021.0 version was made yesterday. It's FME2021.0.3, build number 21326. The WhatsNew file says of this build:------------------------------FME 2021.0.3.0 b21326 20210528------------------------------internal changesThis doesn't mean all our developers went on holiday; a lack of fixes simply reflects (I think) that their work in 2021.0 was high quality. From a user point of view, the most interesting thing I can find is that the Data Inspector window layout is now properly saved on closing. And we log a better warning when opening an unrecognized FFS file. But if you want more exciting stuff, just wait a month or so. That's when FME2021.1 will be released.  Work in ProgressSo what are we working on? I can't tell you the big stuff, but a few small items I can mention:Recent File List in Workbench. How do we improve the clarity of the list? Should we i

I'm trying to determine the projections of some old maps, but I can't seem to figure out a fast way to do it. I know the brute force method, Googling endlessly, etc. The detectproj application works ok, but it's not centralized and can be kind of tedious when working with multiple maps. Does anyone know if FME has tools for detecting projections of raster images?

Hi I would like to filter my pointclouds based on the minZ from a corresponding DTM.  So the height difference in the area's is not that big. Therefore we could use the minZ from the whole DTM. If it can be done to do it for each rastercel, I'm also interested.  I want to use that minZ value to filter/split/test my pointcloud. I can't seem to find the right transformer to do this.  Like for the pointcloudfilter. I'm feeding it the pointcloud and from the raster(DTM) side an attribute (minZ). The filter won't accept the attribute.   This is what I have right now:   

Greeting. I have a file from autocad (.dwg) from which I would like to extract the postal address numbers in the form: NR.20, NR.16a, NR.83I would like to remove from the column special characters such as: ???, / , or - as well as text names like TEREN VIRAN For example I have NR-130-TEREN-VIRAN, I wish to have just NR.130Or: from NR-137/F I wish to have NR.137FAll the best.

Hi,Does anyone know if there is a way to extract metadata about a Microsoft SharePoint List? In particular, I would like to know the date each record in the list was last modified. I am using FME Desktop 2020.1.1.1 Thanks

I'm trialling AttributeFileWriter to output a list of values from a table from a specified attribute field. In theory AttributeFileWriter seems to be ideal for the task.  I've read in the source data which has 13 records. I want to create a .txt list of all the application numbers from the 'application_number' field.  There are no duplicate application numbers in the source data so I'd expect an output of 13 applications numbers in the .txt. In AttributeFileWriter I've set the Source Attribute to application_number. But when I view the output .txt only one application numbers is listed, and not 13 as expected. Any ideas as to why this is?

​Bonjour/HelloEst-ce possible d'obtenir un tableau excel (ou autre) d'une table avec quelques infos et non pas l'entièreté de la table, par exemple le nombre de champs vides "NULL", la date de la dernière mise à jour (et pas toutes les entités du champ date de mise à jour) et de l'auteur de la dernière mise à jour ? Merci pour votre aide ! 😊  Is it possible with FME to  get an excel with some information like, for exemple I would like a document with the name of my attribute table, the last update date, the number of empty fields ?Thanks for your help !😊

I'm reading a couple of files, and they have some matching attributes. I want to rename those attributes in one go, but write the files with their original attribute structure only. However when I write the files, they all end up with the combined attributes. Filtering empty attributes is not possible because some files have attributes with no values. Copying the reader settings on the writer(s) also doesn't work out because the names would be wrong. Is there a way to keep the original structure, with the new names? Basically this: 

What actions are required to properly set up FME Temporary Folder for helm or docker deployment? In helm: Should I set up FME_TEMP temporary variable (env:) and add (volumeMounts:) (volumes:) in engine-deployments.yaml? Will this be enough?

Hi FME UsersI'm reading a Revit-Drawing and try to extract the coordinates of the "Part 0" in the IFMEAggregate (IFME Line). I use a "GeometryPropertyExposer" with the settings shown in the screenshot. But somehow it will not work, and it would be great if someone can help me to solve this. Thank you very much in advance!Dominik

I have installed FME Server (Home Use License in my notebook) back in march, It was working fine, However, after a Windows 10 update, It started to show Error 1068. I have already asked for support and then, It started to work again. Since April, after another Windows Update, FME Server shows again Error 1068. I have try to sop and start services (FME Core) but It didn't work. I am out of ideas and It is frustrating, because I was willing to migrate a non profit project database from desktop to server, so I am considering other options, maybe cloud services, with the cost-per-use concern. Do I need to reinstall FME Server again in order to fix the error?. I will appreciate any ideas to fix the error and start using FME Server, best regards!

We recently updated our fme workbench from 2018 to FME(R) 2021.0.0.1 (20210315 - Build 21306 - WIN32).we have a workbench who clips a map into tiles. (vector data) In the 2018 version we had no problem but in the 2021 version all our text object are corrupted. it changes the fme_type from fme_text to fme_point. i made a visual from the situation.

Hi, my problem is I need to isolate a specific number in a sentence like those number in highlight, but I really don't know because is not the same sentence everytime : La 00132-12-095 est issue de la 00132-12-090(décret 50_459-2013)orElle est issue de la 43860-01-030(décret modificatif 1168-2003) qui est issue de la 43860-01-000 (décret modificatif529-2002) or La 48375-01-030 est issue de la "-"-000(the real number I need to isolate is 48375-01-000)  

Hi, I'm new to FME and doing a training course coming Thursday, My company has uploaded FME software to my Thick Client but my PC has no C drive, but has a U drive, so all my defaults do not work. Someone who uses FME said download it to your personal computer but it's a iMac Big Sur (Intel chip) and won't open in this versions. Is there a work around for my Imac? I don't have confidence remapping all my defaults on PC U drive and it takes my IT department 3-4 days to reply to requests and another 4-5 days to figure it all out. Too late for my training course ready.

I am running data through a workspace that has several date fields.  In most cases the source text string convert fine, but there are many entries where the specific date was not known so only the year was recorded.  An example is below.  How do I handle this?  I would prefer not to make them all January 1 or any other arbitrary date in the year specified.04-12-196425-02-1999195214-06-1954 

I have tif files but I found not all image tif associated with tfw files .I have used Geotiff transformer to read tif files but it shows me as image without coordinates , I used coordinate setter but it does not change the coordinates . is there any solution to let fme pick the tif files with coordinates fme 2018thanks in advance  

I have a CSV with data exported from an old program.  It created two columns.  The first column contains field names and the second contains the values.  It looks a bit like this:FirstName, PaulLastName, SmithBirthdate, 1/1/2020CellPhone, 123-456-789FirstName, MaryLastName,SmithCellPhone, 123-555-1212Each group starts with "FirstName", but each person in the data does not necessarily have data for each of the fields.  (e.g., Mary Smith doesn't have a birthday in the system).  I can use a duplicate filter to get a list of all potential fieldnames, but how do I do the next step?  I want to create a table that has all the data for each person in the list.   In the simplified example, two rows would result.

Welcome to your weekly FME News FME AcademyIf you haven’t already, be sure to check out the FME Academy which is our new self-directed online free training platform.  We also just published a brand new FME Academy Trail: Use Data Integration Best Practices where you can learn how to debug workspaces, design workspaces for advanced reading and writing, design for performance, and optimize workspace performance.  Knowledge BaseTutorial: Getting Started with FME Server has been updated for FME 2021.0. This tutorial features a whole new scenario that follows what you’ve completed in the Getting Started with Desktop tutorial. There are also two new simplified exercises for creating self-serve data and sending an email in automations. You can still find the older more complex versions of these tutorials here: Self Serve and Sending Email.  Tutorial: Getting Started with List Attributes has been updated for FME 2021.0. It shows you how lists work in FME and how lists are created and how to ex

I have a number of shapefiles which I want to translate to Geopackage.However I want the original shapefile name intact. So just a one on one batch shapefile to geopackage translation I thought that the FME Quicktranslator app would be handy in this situation, however, it asks me to specify a database connection, even though I want all the individually translated shapefiles as separate .GPKG files in a destination folder. In FME Workbench, a specific filename is also required to translate shapefiles into, and there is no way (as far as I can tell) to let this be a dynamic name based on the fme_basename attribute. Note that I do not want to have a single geopackage file with all the shapefiles combined in it. How do I do this? Thanks for your time.
