Hello , i would like to remove the arrow symbol from the lines how could I test in data which lines has arrow then remove it .as info :arrow symbol and line connects to has the same id FME 2021 

I have two FME Flow servers and I'd like to be able to change this color to easily be able to tell them apart when I have multiple tabs open.

i need to extract the Geometry traits that are in the picture. any clue how?

Hello everyone According to the rule, when digitizing objects, we need to place the object 0.50 cm above the red line. My question is: How can I find objects that are not 0.50 cm above the red line? Thank you in advance for your help 

Does FME support moving data from an on-premise database (MySQL or SQL Server) to Databricks? We're looking to potentially replace StreamSets.

This is an FME Server that has recently begun to cause problems. One of the scheduled jobs fails but there is no information in the log. Any leads on how to proceed and solve this problem? FME Server 2022.2Build 22765 - win64

Hi All, Does anyone have experience installing ArcGIS Server with ArcGIS Server Basic license on the same Windows Server hosting FME Server? Do I need to complete our ArcGIS server Setup Wizard? Or as long as I have ArcGIS Server installed with ArcGIS Server Basic license...I am ready to have automations accessing enterprise level SDE and read/write data from our enterprise GDB without creating a new site? or do I need to "Join Existing Site"? Please help :)  Many thanks,Reno 

Hi guys i just need to find a way to identify the areas on a dataset which is not covered by each of the field values from another dataset..  I also need this inspection to be done by one of the fields. e.g. my input layer A needs to get scanned through to find out areas not covered by Layer B. but on layer B there is a field and each field value will need to be scanned separately and identified at the output.. Im trying clipper - outside - group by attribute but doesnt seem can give me the output i need.. Thanks!

Our customer has data located in Romania, and has provided a proj string that includes non default correction and datum shift grids. I have tried to install these in FME Form (2021.2.4), yet the workbench complains it cannot locate the grid file (“PROJ: proj_create: Error -38 (failed to load datum shift file): hgridshift: could not find required grid(s).”). I have found some links in the docs (also related to install this in FME Flow), however I'm not yet able to run this transformation in my local FME Form.  Any help is appreciated. For reference, I have included the example proj string, grids, test data and workbench. Run it with the following parameters:

Hi All, This post is primarily seeking guidance, or advice rather than answering a definite question. I am trying to figure out the best method to automate 2D files into 3D buildings and load them into an SDE database buildings table. Though possibly also receiving 3D files from said developers.  These files would be received by planning from developers and planning would share them with GIS (me). Would an FME App work better? Can it be dynamic and recognize all sorts of 2d or 3d files? Do I need a separate FME app for each file type? I created a PDF document that I want to share to my planning team so that developers can abide to for my future automated process. from my understanding, it should work, but I've noticed the tutorials (that use CAD) have an accompanying CSV with the building info. This has casted doubt on how i envisioned on using FME. I am very open to criticism as I am very green with FME still.   

I have some FME translation files (4 or 5 of them) that I use regularly on different datasets. These have worked without issue for some time, and are still working now except for one strange thing that's changed. The process runs, ends with "Translation was Successful" in the log as normal, then about 5 seconds later "Translation Failed" appears in red.  As far as I can tell everything has worked fine, there are no errors in the rest of the log (usually if it fails I get good detailed error messages to help me fix my data problem). I think my data is good to go. But I'm not sure why I'm getting this delayed "Translation Failed" message in the log. One of the blue warning type messages (so not an error) says that my ArcGIS Pro v3.2 isn't supported, but this isn't shown as an error and my data appears to be translating fine. I think this ArcGIS Pro update is the only recent change that might affect FME though, so is that the culprit? 

Hi there, We have a workbench that takes as input a KML file, processes it and outputs a zip file.  After testing, this workbench has been uploaded to FME Server, and has data download capabilities. We want this workbench process to be run via python, with the inputs of the workbench  defined by the user.  We are using Python to upload the user file to the Data folder (FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)import requestsfolderConnectionURL = "https://xxx/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA/filesys/pvDesign?createDirectories=false&overwrite=true" uploadedFile = "zzz.kml"os.rename(outKMZFileClipped, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(outKMZFileClipped), uploadedFile))outFile = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(outKMZFileClipped), uploadedFile) headers = {'Authorization':'fmetoken token=token','Content-Disposition': f'attachment;filename={uploadedFile}','Accept': 'applicaton/json',                    }    with open(outFile, 'rb') as kmlFile:files= {'file':(outFile, kmlFile, 'application/

I was reviewing the article "Build Topology and Calculate Route Length" and had a question left unanswered. The dataset ends with a fork in the route. How would we set the topology builder to allow traffic from segment A to B, A to C, B to A or C to A, but to not allow traffic from B to C or C to B?

Hi,  I have just signed up with an FME account in order to access the FME Academy. When I follow the links through the Academy I end up at a SalesForce specific TrailHead. Foolishly, I created an account there to see if that would give me access to the Academy. Is the Academy functioning at the moment? Thanks,Chris

Hello Forum, For a project I need to create WFS feeds for several datasets. Looking at https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server I see that this may be possible. I’ve opened the example workspace provided in https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server. It wouldn’t open in v2023.1, so I opened in v2021.2 instead. Is creating a WFS in FME Form really this complicated?…  Or is there a more straightforward way of creating one? I have FME Form and FME Flow. Are there other pre-requsistutes I need to consider? Note that at the moment I do not need the WFS to be externally accessible. Access should be internal only for the moment. Thanks,Stuart

Hi All,  I'm working on a workbench to create smooth arc/ polygons from N, S, E, W and NW readings. I was able to calculate the lines & point based on the readings but need help to draw the spline lines/polygons in FME.Below an example of the point and lines extracted from N, S, E, W and NW readings:...and the following screenshot shows the desired output: spline lines made the polygonI'm wondering if there's any way to create those splines to make the final polygon? Thanks 🙂   

Doesn't appear as an option now on the website

@david_r​ Hello David, Need your help on the issue related to distributed engine setup with FME standard trial license where single engine is installed separate machine and remaining FME components on another host including Flow database on same. Kindly refer below link with example#2 that has been followed.https://community.safe.com/s/article/A-Guide-to-Choosing-your-FME-Server-Deployment-Architecture#FTEx2I have attached the log snap for your reference.Thank you.

Yesterday I used the FME clipper transformer to curve out unwanted portions in a polygon feature class from another polygon feature class. Both feature classes are in two separate Esri file geodatabases. It is a very simple geoprocessing operation, but it runs very very slow, measured in hours, some even became hung. Tested this in several feature class datasets, the same behavior - terribly slow. On the other hand, using the Erase geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS desktop, it finishes in 2 - 5 minutes for all the tested datasets. The results between FME and Esri Erase tool are exactly the same. So wondering why the FME clipper is so slow. I have been successfully promoting FME in my company in the last few months, but this came as a big slap on my face. I am at FME 2019.2.

I believe currently each FME Flow engine only uses one core per engine. Meaning each workspace that is being ran is only utilizing one CPU core. My question is does this also apply to Python ran through a Python Caller in the workspace when being ran in FME Flow? For example, I have a Python caller running an Esri tool and set the parallel processing of the tool to be 5 (meaning the Esri tool will use 5 cores). Does this mean the Python will use all 5 cores? Or does FME Flow still limit the Python from only being able to use one core?

Workbench was set up in FME 2020.2 where the Writer spits out a csv file, however in the new FME version 2023.1 it creates a sub folder then spits out the csv file. How would I configure so it doesn't create a sub folder?

Hi All, I'm putting together a workbench to run a multi criteria analysis (MCA) based on a hierarchy (hierarchy level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc). The conditional values in the Attribute creator will help me with that. The problem is that some of the values of the hierarchy need to the next level of the hierarchy . Here is the hierarchy that needs to be followed:  - Hierarchy Level 1- Hierarchy Level 2- Hierarchy Level 3 o Exception A : Any record in level 3 is ‘No main habitat’ will go to level 4 in the hierarchy, if level 4 is empty then goes to level 5, if level 5 is empty then goes to level 6, if level 6 is N/A then goes to level 7.- Hierarchy Level 4- Hierarchy Level 5 o Exception B:  Any record in level 5 is ‘Individual Tree’ then goes to next level 6 in the hierarchy, if level 6 is N/A then goes to level 7- Hierarchy Level 6 o  Exception C: Any record is N/A then goes to next level 7 in the hierarchy.- Hierarchy Level 7 The following screenshot shows the conditional statement for

Hi, I create a filter in an Excel worksheet and then I want to read the filtered result with FME. Is that possible? Or do I have to copy the filter result to a second worksheet?

I'm attempting to use FME to inventory folder locations for all shapefiles and file geodatabases, and all feature classes within the file geodatabases to export to an excel file. I am able to identify all shapefiles and geodatabases, and can complete what I'm attempting to do but the performance is really slow. Some background on the workbench I've made - I'm using the feature reader transformer to read the file geodatabases to identify the feature classes (Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) Reader). The workflow seems to be getting super bogged down at this transformer. I've set the parameters to read only 1 feature, but it still seems to be reading all of the features within the feature class. Is this just the nature of the transformer or is there something I'm missing that's causing the transformer to still read all of the features? I've attached a picture of the feature reader parameters below - any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
