Dear smarter people than me -I have a cad files with layers that start with either A- or C- and then one basemap layer called Mad_PARCELS. In my reader I only want to read the A- and C- layers. How would I query this out in the Merge feature type using regular expression. Or how do you combing two wildcard expressions? I can't really find any good documentation on regular expression examples. TIA 

I am trying to find the deltas and writing back them to SDE database. While doing this process i am getting error message as "Could not unregister GlobalID column 'GLOBALID' in table 'table name'. Please provide your valuable suggestions to overcome from this.

I use a HTTP caller for a REST API . Right now I am using two HTTP caller. One generates the access Token and this token will be used in the second HTTP caller in authorization header to authenticate the Request.  I also have a FME web Connection for the same API. I tried to use the web connection in HTTP caller but it seems as the authorization header is blank , the server is returning a "unauthorized access" response. Can we somehow use the tokens generated by Web Connection in the authorization header . So that I can reduce to one HTTP caller.

Hi Everyone,Very new to FME. We have a small team which will be developing interfaces using FME workspaces (exposed as APIs and call APIs exposed by other systems).I wanted to know if there is a way to set global variables/settings so that all workspaces/webhooks can use the same variables. These variables will be used to store Database connections, error mailbox email address, urls to be used in HTTP caller. Idea is these values are common for all workspaces and also change depending the environment we are in i.e. dev, QA, UAT and production. APIs will be hosted on Kong API GW. Any help is appreciated? Or if someone can point me to documentation that explains doing this.

As an ex-land surveyor, I know how useful it is to have data in a local coordinate system. If I'm working on a construction project site, I'll likely have a local grid instead of a UTM zone - and I certainly won't be using latitude and longitude. So let's see how I can handle that sort of thing in FME... The CommonLocalReprojector TransformerOne technology available to us in FME is a "dynamic coordinate system." What that means is FME automatically generates a coordinate system based on the input. The Reprojector transformer can be set to write to a dynamic coordinate system:But in that case each feature gets its own coordinate system. What we want here is a grid that covers all features. The CommonLocalReprojector will do that for us. Here is an example of its output:You can see that a local, dynamic coordinate system is added for this feature, and is common to all features. I can even click on the link to see the projection definition. Local Origin PointThe

I'm trying to read data from attribute enabled feature classes, but FME is defaulting to using my ArcGIS 64bit background geoprocessing installation to read the data, instead of my arcpro installation. This is solved by un-installing 64bit background geoprocessing, which means FME can only find the arcpro installation, which it then uses and reads the data. Is it possible to tell FME which to use manually, so background geoprocessing does not need to be un-installed?

A customer defined a project in SoapUI. In the documentation, everything is explained to setup the connection to a keystore, using a password for the JKS certificate. This works well in SoapUI. Does anyone have experience with setting up this keystore in FME? How can I setup this web connection?

Hi there,is ther any possibility now (i saw the idea about a 3d Slicer) to slice a solid with a planar area (e.g. a bounding box) a few times with different elevations?For example ....one slice after 1 meter, 2 meters and so on....?Any helps? GreetzFranco

Hello, I need to uninstall tjhe earlier version of FME 2017.0.1.1 but the uninstaller in windows requires the fme_eval.msi file which I do not have anymore. Where can I get it?

Hi,I'm trying to color a raster based on slope angle values.I want to color the raster in intervals of 0-19, 20-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40 and 41-60. Low value = Green, High value = Red.So far I have used the RasterSlopeCalulator to calculate slope angle, and then the RasterExpressionEvaluator to color the points, but I can't seem to color more than one interval at a time. Is there away to merge the different colored rasters with the RasterMosaicker, or can I just tweak my IF-expression? OR, does anyone have a better solution for this?

Welcome back to What’s Up Wednesday after our FME World Fair pause. A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks, so let catch up.  FME World FairHope everyone had a wonderful time at the fair! You can still access the platform until June 30th if you want to catch up on any of the presentations you may have missed. As well the escape room is still open if you want to give it another chance! If you don’t have time to watch all the presentations, you can read all of the presentation recaps here.  FME AcademyYou may have stumbled upon it during our soft launch, but we now have a new online platform for learning FME called the FME Academy! You can access it from the Community by going to Training > FME Academy, or on the Training page on our website. Work through a variety of modules focused on FME skills, test your knowledge with end-of-module quizzes and earn badges! It’s 100% free and self-directed, all you need is an FME Community account.  If you’d still like to learn with the gu

PL.shp with attribute 1 Excel with Attibute 1 and Attribute 2Attribute 1s relateI have AttributeFilter set for Attribute 1 to extract Attirbute 1 from PL.shp I need to relate Attribute 1 to Attribute 2, which was not in PL.shp, but is in a related Excel Once the relate is attained from 1 and 2, I need to create a shp that retains the name of Attribute 2 which is then written into a folder with Attribute 2 name.  This will have to be done 200 times, so how can I efficiently get from reader to writing 200 shps that need to be in attribute 2 named folders?  Then from there, the shp needs to be created into an excel that is placed in attribute 2 named folder.

Here's an example of the ranges:And I want to check my own point addresses to see if they're outside of the ranges. I've looked at the AttributeRangeFliter, but you have to plug in your own MinMax. Any ideas on where to start? I'm thinking the tester or test filter would work, but I'm trying to plug in mix/max from a table and it's treating it as a row. Edit: Now I'm thinking I can just join the ranges and the addresses based on the street name. They're formatted the same so why not? I have 39k Points and 2300 ranges. When I join based on street names i get 236k rows!My idea is to join the streets then just run it through a 'in range' in the tester. When i do that I have duplicates for some reason. I'm all confused!  EDIT 2:So i ran that through the test filter with these parameters:It's kicking back 41,084 records that match that. Do I need to group by or filter them down further? EDIT 3:After looking at the data a little more its starting to make more sense, but leaving me more quest

Hi all,I'm looking for a way, to build a report using the HTMLReportGenerator, but the workflow must first kick off with a parcel of land being selected. Is there any way to do this via the FME Server? I know there is the ability to draw a polygon to initiate, but if we were wanting to start it by selecting a specific parcel of land, which is within our Cadastre dataset (or any other dataset for that matter). Any thoughts? The theory is to be able to specify a parcel of land, for it to go through and perform a series of checks against various datasets so that it can speed up the manual process of our users checking it against Environmental factors, planning zones etc.   

How do I avoid "Unexpected input" error when I change a shapefile in the reader? The message I get in part reads, " During translation, some features were read that did not match a reader feature type in the workspace".

Hi, everyone!Maybe you could help me with transformers: VariableRetriever and VariableSetter. I need to test models for some parameters and make a report. So that's why I have several VariableSetter's and several VariableRetriever's. And when I run hole workspace one of them works wrong, and VariableSetter set parameter, but VariableRetriever doesn't receive it. But when I run only several transformers near VariableSetter and VariableSetter, everything is excellent and works right. What's wrong? Where could I find a problem? Or maybe there is another idea, how could I make a test "if at least one thing has special feature" then take this chain, and if not, I want to use another one. Any ideas? Thank you, everyone, in advance! Hope somebody could help me!!! 

Hi, I have an export process (non FME) from system that writes a file to a folder every day and gives that file a name depending on the date.  eg 2465_20210514_01.csv​.  I would like to set a scheduled job in FME to read the new file in every day and process an output from it.  Can I set up a reader in FME to pick a file based on a name that changes but with the same format (with the only change being date).  Many thanks.

Functionality suggestion: I'd like to see the ability to add additional destinations in one writer. This is where I want the same output (with the same output file name in the same format) at the end of a workspace to go to to two (or more) destinations. At the moment I would need to add additional writers and set the additional destination in that. It would be great to achieve it on one writer

Hi with a floating license setup, is there a way to manage licences in use? I.E kick specific, known inactive sessions off to free up licenses?

I have a webhook set up to run an fme job submitter job. The developer who wants to trigger it is opening the url in the default browser of the user's machine. The job gets submitted. But every 6 minutes if the browser stays open, another request for the same job with the same parameters shows up in the fme queue. Is there anything I can do about this?

Hi all,I have two dataset (csv and shp) linked by a common field (COMM_ID).Using the readers and then a FeatureMerger, a lot of records are not linked.When I convert both to Excel, and I try to merge again, all of them find a proper relationship.
