FMEServerJobSubmitter - Job Submitter only?

Hi, So with this transformer you can pick from workspaces that are on FME Server, regardless of what services have been enabled for those workspace. It is not clear to me whether this works only for those configured as "Job Submitter" or any of them. The main questions I have are:If there are multiple services enabled for a workspace, is there a default it will use?Since you cannot specify the service when configuring the settings of this transformer, does it mean it will just run the workspace regardless, as if it was configured for "Job Submitter" only?If the workspace is configured for "Data Streaming" only, I suppose it would just run and you won't actually see the results as FME Server would get the data but the user won't see it, correct? I suppose I can test this myelf... Thanks for any insight you might share. if you're interested in further commentary as to why I'm asking about this, read on 😃 I was trying to see if there w

boundedBy missing in CityGML

Hello everyone. I am trying to transform KML parcel data into cityGML GenericCityObject and get as close as possible to a sample file I was given. I am particularly interested in the LOT_KEY attribute. When I transform it, I manage to get it into the attributes and that is all fine. But I can't understand why boundeBy happens outside of the GenericCityOject. I need it to be also within as the sample file I also has it. Does anyone know what am I missing? citygml_feature_role in my file shows cityOjectMember and in the sample file boundedBy.This is my file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><core:CityModel xmlns:brid="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/bridge/2.0" xmlns:tran="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/transportation/2.0" xmlns:frn="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/cityfurniture/2.0" xmlns:wtr="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/waterbody/2.0" xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron" xmlns:veg="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/vegetation/2.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1

How can i parse json from API responses into a tabular format (flatten)? I've got some progress based on the forums, but I'm doing a deeper query this time and struggling

the basic gist I've gotten from the forums and examples is:httpCaller>jsonFragmenter>jsonExtractor and I can make that work in a couple of simpler examples. My ignorance is showing when I get to a larger _response_body. I've attached an example json file that is the response for this specific API call, and I would just post my whole workbench but it includes an API key that I don't want to expose.Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. I'm basically trying to flatten the entire response into a table.

Error sharing FME Workspace with FMEServerJobSubmitter in FME Server.

I published a FME Workspace with a FMEServerJobSubmitter in FME Server, I can run the FME Workspace and the FMEServerJobSubmitter starts the subsecuent FME Workspace, however if someone else in my team wants to run the same workspace, it fails with error "FMEServerJobSubmitter (ServerFactory): Failed to access FME Server web connection 'lopeztor FME Server'", I shared the repository where the FME Workspaces are and the web connection used.

Can not install a custom transformers on FME Server 2020.1.3

I am trying to install the custom transformer GeographicAreaCalculator which was downloaded to C:\\Users\\GUANA\\AppData\\Roaming\\Safe Software\\FME\\FME Store\\Transformers\\GeographicAreaCalculator/fmx on my FME desktop. I follow this article https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Coordinate_Systems/Workbench/Sharing_Custom_Resources.htm to publish my workspace while adding this fmx file. The publishing succeeded, but when running the workspace on the server, it stills say this custom transformer does not exist on the FME server.

improve speed of raster statistics?

I've recently been using a lot of rasterio and rasterstats in python which operate orders of magnitude faster on my PC for basic operations such as zonal statistics than my approach in FME:Clip rasters by polygons, then RasterStatisticsCalculator. Is there a more efficiently way of doing these sorts of operations?

What is the reprojection in FME that is closest to the Geodesic Area calculations used in ArcGIS?

In ArcGIS, we have been using the geodesic area calculations to calculate polygon areas in square kilometers from a geographic coordinate system such as WGS84. See http://dmahr.com/2015/07/geodesic-areas-arcmap-field-calculator/. I don't seem to find a similar reprojection in FME. is there an one that is closet?

How to extract (key,value) elements from multiple xlm files and turn them into a flat table?

I have multiple xml files, each with the same structure as shown below: <Metadata> <MDI key="MAXIMUM">9</MDI> <MDI key="MEAN">4.2018685725509</MDI> <MDI key="MINIMUM">0</MDI> <MDI key="STDDEV">2.3097856863945</MDI> </Metadata>I want to create a table with using the MDI Keys as the column names, and the element values as the rows from all the xml files, as illustrated below. Can do a single file with AttributeTransposer, but could not figure out a simple way to load all the files together, feeling awkward with limited knowledge of FME XML transformers. Need some expert help here.

Transpose and aggregate table

Hi! I am trying to solve a task where I need to turn table rows into columns where their corresponding attribute values would be transposed altogehter. The essential moment is that there is n number of repeating rows (in my case every 3 rows) in the key column which would be layed out as attribute three (3) columns with respective attribute names as explained below: Original schema: ............................................... Wished result: I manage to transpose the table, however I encounter a set of challenges in finilizing formatting of the table:The hidden attributes cannot be dynamically exposed (of course), however setting them as User parameters for semiautomatic processing does not seem to work either as AttributeExposer picks up parameter name and not the value given by the user (ver. 2020.1).After table transposal attribute values that share the same name become separate columns (eg. Rad1(1), Rad1(2)...). I wonder what procedual steps I should follow in order to rearrange

I Would like to cut a complicated polygon (fme_aggregate geometry) in two pieces with a line, so that I have two features afterwards.

Here you can see the complicated geometry, I want to cut it at the red arrow. Based on this line, that intersects the geometry: I tried this using a couple of methods, where the FME hub transformer PolygonCutter got the best result. However I did not get 2 features in the end, and the geometries where not exactly the same as the input. The only thing I want is just a simple cut on the place of the line, that splits the geometry in 2 pieces. So I can assing different values to both of them.

Dear Experts,We have Smallworld 4.3 and I have installed FME 2020.2.3.0 (Build 20820 WIN32). I have installed Translator 4.3 and copied the sworldswaf dll and fmf in FME installation folder and metafile folders. FME is able to read the ds file but unable to extract the feature types. I have gone thru the link. As explained, I changed the dll file to 4.2.2 version and checked but result is same... I have attached screenshots for reference with FME and FMENOFACTORY services. Can some one suggest me if I'm missing anything... Thank you,Pratap

How to extract attributes from nested GeoJSON
