How to create published parameter with a choice of FME Feature Attributes

Hello all,I am attempting to create a published parameter within a custom transformer that prompts the user to state which is the primary key field from the input database table. Is there a way of creating this published parameter, whereby it provides the user with a list of all available feature attributes (i.e. database fields) from their input table, so that they can select which is to be nominated as the primary key? ##Update, it looks like I have managed to answer my own question - you can use the Type: AttributeList within the the published parameter to achieve this As a follow up question, does anyone know how I can then use the user chosen parameters within a stringreplacer transformer to update a field? Basically, using the data example below, if the user, via published parameters, the user has nominated colA as their primary key field, and nominated colB via another published parameter, is there a way of then using the values within these fields to then replace colA as a conc

Tag touching pairs of endpoints?

I would like to ad identifiers to pairs of "touching" endpoints. So if two endpoints touch (or are within a given buffer) they are to be tagged with an identifier that is unique to this pair. Lets say that the first two touching endpoints both are tagged with 1 (or A), the next pair with 2 (or B) and so on. How can I achieve this?

Filtering out duplicate lines

Hello, what would be the proper way to filter out duplicate lines. For example, I have 2 completely overlapping lines with different line directions and I can't just use DuplicateFilter because the geometry of those lines are different so in fact they are not duplicate... I noticed that if I put GeometryExtractor before duplicate filter and set the Geometry encoding to 'GEO (Microformat)' - also works with some other formats - than it seems it looses the info about line direction and DuplicateFilter detects those 2 lines as duplicate lines. So, at the end, my workbench works but I'm afraid that this is some weak workaround that will fail in some sitauations... or?

add "gdal/csar pc" module to FME linux *64

Good mourning, we use fme desktop for windows to launch current treatment, but we also have a *64 linux version when the treatments require more ressources to be launched. Unfortunaltely, some treatments using 'CARIS Spatial Archive (CSAR) Point Cloud' format doesn't work on *64 linux. Indeed, this version doesn't take into account the CARIS formats. According to the log file, this is because the module "gdal/CSAR PC is unavailable for use with this fme edition" (there is no problem wirh the windows edition). Is there any solution to run caris format with a linux edition of FME desktop? Thank You Ronan

Clipping elevation grid data (geotiff)

I'm trying to clip some DSM's in geotiff format to a specific boundary. These geotiffs are elevation grids so they aren't multiple bands, instead they are just filled with elevation values. I'm currently reading them in as geotiff's and trying to clip using the clipper transform however I keep running into a problem. The first is that I'm getting two outputs because the geotiff extends into another clippee section. See below:My last issue, which is a bit minor is that the exported TIFF headers don't say that the raster is filled with elevation grid data. I have to confirm when importing into any other software. See below: Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Question of the Week: To Loop or Not to Loop

Hi folks,It's the first Question of the Week on the new community, and it's all very exciting. If you want to see more of this type of content, don't forget to click the Follow button in the top right of the screen.Today we're looking at a common issue: whether a loop is necessary in a workspace. Question of the WeekIn this question, @hlouie asks:Q) [I'm] Trying to find a way of creating multiple records from a range by interval some way of looping, adding 100, create new, looping until max. A) Herman mentions "looping", but the thing is, that's not necessary in this case. Many users who are used to scripting and algorithms often look to a loop as the first solution for a problem, and I can see why (I do it too). But - as we'll see - that's not always necessary... The ScenarioSo, the scenario is that we have a single feature, with an ID number (here 3,700). We need to create a number of copies of this feature, incrementing the ID by a set number (here 100) each time. So: 3,700; 3,800;

New Behavior ... Why would FME be sending 2 emails to each recipient once it runs through the FMEServerEmailGenerator transformer?

We've never seen this issue happen before and we have multiple jobs on Desktop and Server using FMEServerEmailGenerators without issue. For some reason I cannot determine the 2 most recent FME Desktop 2019.2 jobs (They are not running on FMEServer) keep sending 2 emails to each recipient every time they execute. I've looked at the email addresses and there are no duplicated email addresses. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Hello, How can i get the attachments from a AGOL layer reader? Would like to add that to the Emailer transformer, to get that in the attachments from a Email.

How to set the maximum file size for logs from FME Desktop?

I have some FME Workbenches that run frequently (i.e. every minute) and the logs are always working great if I find an error or need to check up on a specific run. I run the workbenches through task scheduler. The log file just keeps growing, and will only refresh if I delete the log file. This is taking up literally gigabytes of space. I'd like to set the maximum file size for the log file - for example, one MB. That way I can see all recent log files (i.e. logs from the last few days) but I don't have to keep any of the really old logs, and they can get removed automatically as new logs come through. I know you can set the "max features to record" for a log, but I don't see anything about limiting the actual log file. From what I've seen so far, changing the max features to record doesn't limit how big the log file can be. Anyone have suggestions for this?

FME 2019.1 creating empty duplicate of named ArcSDE version?

I use FME 2019.1 to read and manipulate features in a versioned Oracle ArcSDE geodatabase. I recently discovered that FME appears to have made a duplicate of one of my versions with test edits. See the screenshot of the duplicate version names. I have not used FME to write data back to ArcSDE, particularly not with this version. The original version (username JACOLLINS) is protected and still has test edits intact, but the FME_SERVICE version is public and has no edits (nothing returned in ArcMap version changes tool). Does anyone have an idea as to how this duplication occurred? Thanks!
