I tried publishing my workspace from FME Desktop to FME Server but when I run it, it gives me this error that it doesn't read my Esri License which results in the workspace failing. Not sure why this is happening, any advice would help

Hi all,I need write excel (from 2nd rows) to google sheet template (write from 3rd row).Could you tell me how to do it? Thank you

I am working with a feature class and I have got some empty cells that share the same Structure ID, I want to fill the missing Archetype value from a value in the above row. logic can also be created using an index column such as : it looks simple but I have already spent hours figuring this out but couldn't find the solution. Please check the data attached to this post. Thanks in advance H

HelloI am wonder how I can get FME to write vectors. I`ve tried a lot of setting on the writer but whitoute any result.  I tried to write vectors in SOSI/GML formate, but it is irelevant just I get some vektors. Are the other format or setings even transformer I miss. I put an picture here that shows what I am doing and I hope somone can help me with this.Thanks.

With the help from our Sharepoint team, we were able to get my FME account configured in Azure and I have successfuily setup a WebConnection a Sharepoint site that allows me to read lists using a Sharepoint List Reader. I have two (questions):1) What's the proper syntax when using the 'Filter' field under 'List Options' in the reader.  I have consulted Microsoft and OData pages to come up with the following for filtering out Null values:But all the gets me is Microsoft SharePoint List Reader: Error returned from the server. This may be a result of the "Items Per Request" parameter exceeding the server's limit. The "Items Per Request" parameter can be lowered. Error was: 'The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold.'A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsIf I leave out the filter, the reader will return 1ooK's of records without complaining about the limit though. So my filter must be wrong. Putting quotes around the field nam

Question of the WeekThis week's question-of-the-week was asked on GIS/StackExchange. It's all about how to create a grid from a rectangular feature.  "I have a set of polygons, each one comprises 4 sides. Each facing sides are equally divided into segments (right figure). Is there anyhow to automatically create a grid as shown in the figure on on the left ?" So let's have a look at how we can do that. [Ah, I just found it's also been asked on the community here] Creating GridsIt's pretty easy to create a grid like that from scratch if you know the dimensions needed. You just put down a 2DGridCreator:   ...and that was suggested as a solution by someone. But, if the feature exists already, the better transformer is the 2DGridAccumulator, like so:   The trick here is to set a group-by, else you get a single grid that covers all of the features (whereas we want a grid per feature). However, this doesn't take into account that the user's question showe

Hello, I have a set of polygones, each having 4 sides (right figure) Each pair of facing sides are divided into equal segments. Is there a way somehow to make a grid for each polygone by linking facing vertices as depicted in the left figure ? Thank you in advance.

I have a very large dataset (around 1 Million polygons) and I want to dissolve touching polygons so that I can give them one unique ID to then conduct a surface on surface overlayer after a spatial filter based on the group ID of the dissolved polygons. My problem is that after the Dissolve the remnants part with the line features gets very big and exceeds my memory. Is there another more memory-efficient way to handle this? 

Hi, I created a workspace in Desktop 2020 that plots some point locations on a basemap, and then writes both features out to a PDF. I set the default point radius to 3 in the PDF2D writer parameters which was fit for purpose. Please see the attached 2020 file for reference.Now, when I run the very same workspace in Desktop 2021, the points in the output PDF are so small you can hardly see them. Please see the attached 2021 file for reference.I'm not sure why Desktop 2021 is reducing the size of the points down to almost nothing.As a solution, I tried to increase the default point radius in the writer parameters but this didn't work. It's like they are stuck on the one size...Thanks. 20202021 

I tried with chopper, buffer and PointOnAreaOverlap but I don't manage to modify the polygon. Due to the accuracy problems and different sources the vertices are close to about 1-2cm. How to modify the big polygon to the vertices of the small one automatically? Thank you for help!!

I have tried using string replacer to remove the blank spaces with commas but it doesn't seem to work?  I am hoping to get this attribute looking like the below? Any help on how to get here is appreciated.

Hi all,My workbench crashed and somehow the latest saved version is a week old (even though I'm fairly sure I saved more recently).I have a recovery file, but when I open the workbench I get this error: A recovery file was found.A recovery file was found for this workspace but the recovery file can not be loaded. This situation occurs if a problem prevented Workbench from closing correctly. Changes that were made to the workspace may have been lost. I store the workbench on a cloud service, which has version history. I tried downloading and opening the workbench with several versions of the same recovery file, but I get the same message.I also have a bunch of wb-xlate files and a fairly recent .log but I don't know if they can be useful in any way.I couldn't find anything useful in my Temp folder. I'm close to giving up and starting over, but I would still like to know for the future.

I have a 2d point created from Geocoder that I'm trying to combine attributes with a 3D fbx model. Both are in the same coordinate system but I think that the 2D point has no z values while the 3d model does. Is there a way to combine attributes using only x and y values instead of z values? I attached pictures to hopefully show my data. For now I'm just working with 1 point as an example but will recieve more attributes over time

I have 2 shapefiles:roadway centerlineshouse points  is there a way to generate lines between each point and the nearest road centerline?

Hi,  I have a series of WorkspaceRunners, they are parallel i.e. not connected in sequence. But I want to be sure that one of them is executed before the other. Would it be possible to achieve this by connecting the first ones Summary port with the other WorkspaceRunner, having a FeatureHolder just before the later WorkspaceRunner? Anyone tried this?

I thought that with a Inspector attached in the workspace the ​FME data Inspector would automatically start when the run is completed, but nothing happends? How can that be?

I have a table that has almost 1000 rows, but these rows have a date field. I need to make a filter, which I can only use from today's date the previous 3 days ... however, I have some doubts on how to do a subtraction for example if today is 01/4/2021 (mm / dd / yyyy )

Hi,I have a set of points, and I wanna build lines between pairs of points whenever their separating distance is within a specified tolerance for example [3,4] meters

Hi all,I want to make Uppercase the first string of word.For example: 12 tran Dai nghia >> 12 Tran Dai Nghia, 12/3 le dai hanh >> 12/3 Le Dai Hanh.Could you show me how to make to do it? Thank you

Hello FME'ers,I'm posting today instead of Liz, so let's see what news I can find... Custom TransformersA short blog article was just posted showing how the new parameter editor dialog in 2021 can help create custom transformers, and how you can publish them to the FME Hub. That reminds me, I have a small custom transformer to make and publish so I will try and record doing that and post it to YouTube as a practical demo. FME Hub UpdateSpeaking of the FME Hub, its test suite engine has now been upgraded to FME2021, so your content is now tested against the newest FME. However, that version on Linux no longer includes Python v2.7 - so if your content used Python 2.7, you might find it now fails the test suite and requires an update to use Python v3. New ArticlesA new article on creating 2D network topology is now available on the knowledge base. The first few transformers are what I'd call "Just in Case" transformers. You might not need to snap, deaggregate, or

Hi all,I am attempting to use FME Server apps first time with buffer.I have now setup a very simple workbench just to perform buffer tasks but I am struggling to get this to work with FME Server. I get following error, i have set it up as data download.

I have a csv file that has 259200 rows. The first column CELL_ID has consecutive integers from 1 to 259200. When used this file in the CSV reader, its data type is automatically set to be uint16, which limits its max value to be 65535, consequently all other rows after 65535 are read as NULL. The data type can't be changed. I also notice other issues. For example, one column has many initial rows with a value of 0, so the CSV reader set its data type to be uint8. But this column has many rows with data type of double, and those end up as being read as null . It would be nice if all columns can be changed to be read as string so we don't miss anything. I would say the default settings are not correct in most cases. I have used the CSV reader for years, and this is the first time I notice the bad default settings.

does anyone have any insight on how to connect/query BS&A data directly from there site?

It is possible to read a xml and 'style' it with a xslt file. I've read on the forum FME can only read version 1.0 of the xslt-file.When I try to do this I get an error (creator + xsltprocessor) and i don't know how to fix this/what the error is? Who can help me? :-) Thanks! I've attached an example xml and xslt file + the belonging output (created by the default program...I just want to automate it).
