Hi all, I wish to be able to read the LAS/LAZ header information in FME. Does anyone know how to do this? The information is not any of the attributes I can expose. I only need the header information and not the actual point cloud if possible. This screenshot is an example of the information I am looking for using another program lasinfoI'm guessing if this is possible then python will be needed. I do not know any python Any answers would be appreciated  

Hi, I am running FME from the command line. I was wondering, because I've never been able to work it out, is there a way to make it so that FME does not report anything to the console window so there isn't as much text? Or at least less text? For example I don't want to report all this progress text  The way I am calling FME is like this:fme WORKSPACE.fmw ^ --PARAM_1 ABC ^ --PARAM_2 123 Any help would be appreciated thanks

Hello,  it is possible to see a FME workspace CPU usage at the end of a job in the logging. However, when you activate a stream it will occupy an Engine and it will not give CPU usage in the logging. Is there a way to find or register the CPU usage of a stream that runs 24/7?

I have about 3000 las/laz-files and I have to know how many points there are altogether in those files. In LAS/LAZ header there is the info, but how to read only the header info in FME? Or is there some other way to do this?

Since I upgraded to FME Form 2023.1 the transformer list options , such as "Upgradable Transformers" and "Incomplete Transformers" are missing in the Navigator, even when I have transformers in my workspace which are incomplete or can be upgraded. Is there a way to enable this option?  

Hi, I'm receiving a "Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'fmepy_autodesk_bim360docs'" error when running a workspace. I've checked the other threads relating to these errors but most are related to FME Server which I'm not using. How do I go about installing the fmepy_autodesk_bim360docs module? Thanks

I have a list {133F5222-149E-4884-A80E-4DB4B320CF44}, {60A99BDB-26C6-48DA-942E-563CD48B68C4} with various elements that have the value of an attribute of a table in an FGDB. Using the FeatureReader, I would like to load these features that have the value of the elements in the attribute [UUID]. In Python, I would simply load this list with [UUID] IN (<List>). Unfortunately, in FME I cannot manage to load these features using the FeatureReader and the Where Clause. What must the where clause in the FeatureReader look like if I want to load all features from a list whose value occurs in the [UUID] attribute? Or there are any other possibilities to manage this task?

I started building an ETL job in Form 2023.0 that only reads in about 250 PDF files containing 1-3 pages where I need to extract some text. I've recently upgraded to 2023.1 and the issue still persists. I've noticed after working on the job for a few hours the FME Form UI will randomly start to flicker as if my mouse button was stuck down and was spamming clicks every second. It doesn't trigger a click event and it only happens within FME. If you attempt to work around the issue it rapidly continues to get worse until the screen completely stops updating. The only solution I have found once this starts is to save your work and restart FME. I've attempted to attach a video of the issue. In the video, I only zoom the view once despite it looking like I'm scrolling in and out really fast and I'm only clicking on each transformer or pathway once as well. Snippet from System Info:OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 System Manufactu

Hi,I haven't quite been able to work this out. Is there a way to check if FME form is licensed from the command line? Before you try to open FME. I ask because I am making a batch file and I wish to check before it starts to let the user know if they need to update itAny help would be appreciatedRegards

Hello,  is it possible to read geometry from Sqlite in FME 2023? In FME 2022 I was using SQLite Spatial (GDAL) (deprecated), but I'm missing this format in the new version. Thank you.

Hello everyone -  We are migrating from on-prem to Azure. Its lift/shift approach. The machine name is not going to change, but MAC address will change. We can't really get a MAC address before we move the machine. I have below questions. Can we directly edit the current license file with the new MAC address after we have moved to new server ?Does the licencing software supports TWO Network adapters setup. ( two NICs). If its supported, then we can do the below. Is the license server smart enough to detect there are NIC#1 and NIC#2 and that the MAC address of NIC#2 is the correct old address and hence the existing license is valid? We can lift-and-shift the PRD-XXXXX-01 server with the existing license. This will create by default a NIC#1 with the new MAC address.We can then attach a second NIC, NIC#2, to this migrated VM and overwrite its MAC address with the old existing on-prem MAC address.How long does it take if we request for license via - https://engage.safe.com/activation/f

Here is my use case: I have created a workflow that works well and can handle multiple files. However, when I publish this workflow to FME Flow, I have the following problem when I copy and paste multiple files at once: Copy and paste two files at once.The resource or network directory sees the change and triggers the same workflow twice (see https://community.safe.com/s/article/Do-the-Directory-modified-Automation-triggers-support-single-events-for-multiple-file-datasets)The first workflow runs fine and writes all my data to a databaseThe second workflow (which is the same, just triggered a few milliseconds later) fails because of a "UNIQE KEY constraint violation". This is a bit annoying and I am looking for another solution. Maybe if I can run the workflow file by file. But how is this possible with FME Flow? Does anyone have a recommendation on how to solve this problem?*****************Update, 2023-10-26How to proceed, if FME Flow should process the files in a defined or

The webpage titled, "Efficiently Convert ArcSDE to GDB" doesn't provide documentation on how to do that. Is there a tutorial or documentation somewhere on how to convert ArcSDE to a File geodatabase?  

I see in the documentation that this is possible (I.E. setting a value in SchemaMapper using a built in FME function). But I sure can't figure it out. Does anyone have an example, or can they please point me in the direction of an example? Thank you.

Since they use different parameter settings, can we have both of them established in the same FME Form? I am having issues while trying to establish the connections.

In my workspace, I have an FTPCaller Transformer that uploads (copies) files from a folder to an ftp site.  Next step is I want to delete all the pdf files in the source folder from where all the pdf files were copied to the ftp site. I have tried attaching this solution (File Copy - DELETE (safe.com)) after the FTPCaller but the files are not deleted, besides it seems to only delete a single named file. Does not seem to handle wildcards like *.pdf. I also tried FileDeleter FME Hub (safe.com) and it not only did not delete the files, but I was reading it does not work in FME Flow, and I plan to upload my workspace to FME Flow and run it on an incremental schedule.  Should I create a separate workspace that just deletes all the pdf files in the folder and run it after the files are copied to the ftp site? In essence, what is the best way to delete *.pdf files in a folder?  

Hi, I am struggling with one simple task that is extracting information from wms and saving it as geotiff. 1. I would like to use HTTPCaller and ImageFeather to extract geotiffs from wms service https://environment.data.gov.uk/spatialdata/lidar-composite-digital-terrain-model-dtm-1m-2022/wms 2 The URL of the wms should include BBOX=527389,177252,534694,181976&WIDTH=3000&HEIGHT=3000 to minimise the time to read the data 3. The geotiffs should be saved in Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset) Thank you for any help

I try to upload a file with the FTPCaller with FTP. It works manually through windows browser, FileZilla and with WinSCP without problems.But i cannot get it to work with FME. As far as I can tell the setting is correct.  The error message does not give me any information that can point me closer to the issue. What is the issue and how can I solve it?Upload failed (at start/before it took off) 

 Hi,I added a multi-select choice parameter to my FME form, but there are more than 100 values to choose from. Is there a way to let the user select multiple options per click, similar to the Shift+click shortcut in Windows? Thanks,

Excel Reader: Found named range '_xlnm._FilterDatabase' on sheet 'Datenfelder'. This is a Microsoft Excel internal name so FME will not show it as a sheet.

Hi all, I have a line and attributes for the length and angle of the line and text.What I would like to have is a vector outline of the text centered over the line. Is there anyway to position the text over the line other than using an Offsetter after the TextStroker? Is there a reason that the height of the text generated by the TextAdder is only about 70% of the value provided in the Text Size parameter?

The error ends with "Please ensure that destination file is closed and check destination filepath" - most reports are generated but the very large ones fail (160 mb). Periodically these will work without an issues. Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!I have about 8 file geodatabases containing 3-6 feature classes (with different schemas) in each geodatabase. I have a standard set of 4-5 attributes (with blank values) that I need to add to each feature class. Is there an easy way to keep the original schemas from the original feature classes, while also having the ability to add new attributes? Thanks for any info!
