I have previously conencted Arcgis online feature class using fme desktop and it worked fine. This time however i am getting the following error. ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader: Could not find a Feature Service item matching the Feature Service directive I am using FME 2020.1When i added the AGOL reader and chose this feature class i am getting column names in reader which means it is able to connect to feature class, when i press the see source data on reader I can see the data as well.

How can I transpose a column which was extracted from a json file?

I am extracting two attributes ( Naam, Value) from a json file. The contents of the "Naam"attribute are actually attributes names and the contents of the "Value"attrbute are the values. So what I need is to transpose the "Naam" attribute to columns and fill those columns with the content of the "Value"attribute (see attachments). I have tried attributepivoter and also attribute Transposer custom transformer. Unfortunatley, I keep getting nothing useful or empy output. Could you please help me with this!

How to inherit AutoCAD placements

We have a directory of AutoCAD drawings depicting building interiors. This directory is considered the source of truth for interior spaces and the GIS team has created World files for each one. Other departments take these drawings and add their own data on top of it. An example of the data would be the locations of drinking fountains, emergency exit signs, and wifi access points. They maintain these drawings in their own department directory and did not copy over the original world files.Here is the question: when the GIS dept places the original WLD files in these dept directories and bring the data in, there are instances where the location is not the same as the original drawings. Most are, but not all. Instead of creating custom wld files for these (there are 1000's) is there a way in FME to apply the characteristics of the original drawings to the new, department-specific, drawings to the data is in the correct location.I did my best to try and describe the situation bu

XMLAppender causing one of my namespaces to be removed and then prefixes to be added to my elements.

Hi everyone I have an issue when using a series of XMLAppenders to combine various XML fragments into 1 document which is causing one of my namespaces to be removed and then prefixes to be added to my elements. The first appender works as expected, but then the subsequent one seems to remove one of the tablespace names, and then cause all the existing elements from the document XML to then get the prefix “rsml”. The XML fragment in the 2nd appender doesn’t get the “rmsl” prefix however. I then use a 3rd appender and again this new xml fragment is added fine but still the original and 1st appended XML still have the “rmsl”. My original XML document has the following 3 namespaces:<railsysml version="0.7" extension="4" xmlns="http://www.rmcon.de/XMLSchema/railsysml/2019/infrastructure_0_7" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:rsml="http://www.rmcon.de/XMLSchema/railsysml/2019/infrastructure_0_7"> 1st appender –

Creating GPX files with elevation

I would really appreciate some help with the process I am trying to write.  I have a shapefile of routes, I need to create a GPX file for each route. However what I am stuck on is why the 'elevation' tag in the GPX is blank and I need to fix this. I assume I can use PointOnRasterValueExtractor with the Terrain50Raster which I have in a raster GRID file? The routes will change so I need the process to be repeatable on a regular basis hence why I am trying to do it the 'correct' way.  Many thanks

Synchronizing web services and connections between FME Desktop & Server

How is this done? We want to define the services and dependent connections once in a single place and have all the FME Desktop users use this single known and tested working good copy. And then when that authoritative service or connection is updated a way for the desktops to fetch the refreshed configuration.

Use FME Desktop to produce CIM XML

I found an example template here: https://community.esri.com/t5/electric-documents/sample-common-information-model-cim-xml-data-translation/ta-p/913831 The template is complex and I can't find any documentation on it other than some comments in the workspace. Are there any other documents related to the template, or a good resource for learning how to use FME for CIM XML? Thank you.

Multiple ArcGIS feature services to single layered MapBox Vector Tileset

Hi all,I’m currently trying to convert several separate ArcGIS vector feature services into a single mapbox vector tileset that reads each feature service as a layer within the MBtileset. What would be the best process for this? I’m also getting a recurring fatal error where FME reads features from the feature service, splitting the service it into lots of 1000 features, however FME cannot progress the reading as it timeout errors. Any help is much appreciated, thanks
