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?

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

I am being trained in FME by my university. I am trying to use the transformer TestFilter with FME Desktop 2020. BUT . . . I do not have a list of logis statements under the logic column. My lecturer has a long list, but when I click on the box, I have only one word to choose from "NOT". I do not have OR or AND, etc.  How can I get FME to offer these logic words?

So we updated to Oracle 12 and it allow as to create column more than 30 characters. Wonder how we can allow this feature in FME Oracle FeatureWriterCurrently I can't find way to enter columns that will have more than 30 characters. See attached picture for details.  FME(R) 2018.1.1.1 (20181203 - Build 18578 - WIN32) Any Ideas?

Hi I've right clicked on a table in the sqlcreator and chosen 'Script as select' and done a very trivial where clause. the problem is the columns are all varchar200 and not dates .. what have I missed?

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.

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.

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?  

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. Create starting record at 3700 = Record 1Add 100 to Record 1 for 3800 = Record 2Add 100 to Record 2 for 3900 = Record 3Add 100 to Record 3 for 4000 = Record 4Add 100 to Record 4 for 4100 = Stop, don't create record because greater than max number Input / 1 Record FieldValue = 3700-4000Output / 4 Records FieldValue = 3700, FieldValue = 3800, FieldValue = 3900, FieldValue = 4000

I wonder if there is a slack/discord or other platform that users can social, ask questions and get help?

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!

Hi,I'm trying to make a connection from FME desktop with our ArcGIS Portal using Oauth2.0 application to read FeatureServer from portal.

Hello everyone,please, Im thinking about the most simple way, how to test text string to contain any letter combinations?E.g. I have got some codes - 1B3DDD386MND, 1B3DDD386CDL etc. and I have separately Excel file, where are allowed and forbidden letter combinations. CDL is forbidden string combination, so I need to detect this combination. In Excel, there are thousands of these combinations, so its highly time demanding to put all this combinations to tester transformer with CONTAINS condition.Any tips how to solve it highly effective? Thanks a lot!Lubo
