Hi FME'ers,Here's this week's quiz. As before, I'll be back online with the answers tomorrow, and a list of top scores, so I'll see you then.Quiz: https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmeserver/apps/FMEQuizIt is still a bit experimental (my use of Server apps) so do let me know if it doesn't work for some reason (I do see a bit of an encoding issue with one question, but it should be OK).CheersMark

Hello FME'ers, I wanted to introduce another new item here, the Question of the Week. We get asked a lot of questions at Safe - whether in the community or via support - and I wanted to highlight some of the most interesting ones.Question of the WeekThis question concerns coordinate systems and came to us via Live-Chat.  Q) When reprojecting, does FME have any 'tolerance' in regards to errors that may be introduced? How accurate will a reprojection be?  A) This is a great question because nearly all of us use coordinate systems, and yet reprojection can be a bit of a mystery that we're intimidated by. Let me try and simplify the process.  A reprojection in FME is carried out using one of two operations.  1) The first operation is a mathematically exact method. Typically these are reprojections within the same datum. The only "errors" in there will be due to rounding when using 64-bit

Hi FME'ers,Here are the answers and results to yesterday's quiz:Answers1) Which transformer is the A....P....S....?ArcPropertySetterAttributePivotSetterAzurePageSorterAutodeskPolygonShifterAuxiliaryPowerSupplyIt's the ArcPropertySetter. I hope you all got that. It's really the only one that makes sense, and you could easily look it up by typing APS into the Workbench Quick Add window.  2) What color is the balloon in the World Tour 2018 wallpaper?RedGreenBlueFulvousThere is no balloon.The answer is green. Here's proof...Fulvous (#E48400) is a type of orange-yellow colour. I was going to use smaragdine (#50

Hi FME'ers,It's going to be a quiet day from Safe today, since it's Canadian Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving everyone). So in lieu of input on your questions, here's a brief quiz for you to try out.I'm hoping to do one of these a week for the foreseeable future. I'll be back online with the answers tomorrow, and a list of top scores, so I'll see you then.Quiz: https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmeserver/apps/FMEQuizOh, yes, I built it with FME Server. It's only a rough-and-ready setup so far, but I hope to improve it soon.CheersMark

I am attempting to use FME Desktop 2019.1 to read in shapefiles that are nested in 8 different folders as part of my workflow and continue to receive the error that the file does not exist nor does the directory. However, if I run the exact same job in Desktop 2018.1 it works perfectly fine. FME 2019 seems to have an issue with wildcards because it will not work with reading in multiple .csv files that are nested in folders.  For example, D:\\Alpha\\Bravo\\Charlie\\Exploration\\**\\*.shp All 8 folders reside in the Exploration top-level folder and contain shapefiles from various regions around the globe. 2018.1 works flawless with my current setup but when I try to run it in 2019 I receive the error:  Shape Reader: Failed to open dataset 'D:\\Alpha\\Bravo\\Charlie\\Exploration\\**\\*.shp' which is neither an existing file nor directory

Hi, I am new to FME. I have a 2D DGN file which I want to export to FBX and then plan to use that FBX in the Unity 3D game engine(in 2D mode). Currently, I used FME inspector to view the DGN file which opens fine and displays everything correctly. But then when I go to files menu and save it as FBX file, it exports around 10 files which are partially visible. Please help me in sorting this issue. Let me know if any further information is needed.  Thank You,Vikas

Hey,I have FME Desktop licence where I have several workspaces created and running fine.I open these workspaces individually and run them manually as required, these are not tasks that need to be run on a predetermined schedule (I have got some of those workspaces being triggered by batch files and windows task scheduler). These tasks are just random one-off's that I want to trigger.I am hoping to use a html file on my local machine to trigger individual workspaces on demand, rather than having to load FME Desktop Workspace, and running them manually. A 'dumb' html file like this is what I am wanting to set as my homepage for triggering several different workspaces:Is this something that can be achieved without a FME Server licence?I have done some searching for a tutorial/example but all of the things I am finding are using F

Hi I have a workbench (see attachment 1) which works out the area of each feature in a dataset (BrownfieldSitesInGreenbelt) that is within a constraint (in this case Ancient Woodland). I would like to repeat this process with all the constraints feature classes within a file geodatabase.I know I need to use the workspace runner to do this and have created a workbench (attachment 2), but I do not know how to get it to iterate through all the feature classes in the file geodatabase. At the moment it seems just to read all the items in the FGDB and not do much else.Please could someone advise where I am going wrong? Many thanks

I'm wondering if anyone else is using FME 2019.1 alongside ArcGIS 10.7.1 with 64bit Geoprocessing and is experiencing strange python behavior/errors?I've noticed many errors with workbenches that have startup/shutdown python scripts such as "DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application" (Only occurs when a workspace runner kicks off another workbench that contains a startup python script, running the 2nd workbench itself does not invoke this error)To FME loading Python 3.7 despite the workbench specifying 2.7. I've also seen generic failed to execute python scripts.I can uninstall ArcGIS 10.7.1 and reinstall ArcGIS 10.6.1 and all workbenches run without issue. The moment I install ArcGIS 10.7.1 all these issues appear.

Hello Friends, I am new to FME, and I have a requirement to create a simple workflow. My requirement is as below.. 1. Get a count of rows from a source table ( in oracle) 2. Get a count of rows from a Target table ( in oracle). 3. If sourcen and target counts are different, then load Source table to target ( Truncate target table before loading.) How do I do it? what are the trasnformations I need to user. Could someone send me more detailed canvas pictures As soon as possible. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hey Everyone,I am using FME 2018.0 and it starts with a creator and a FeatureReader. This FeatureReader reads an excel file, and in the parameters I designate it to only read a particular row/column cell and that works fine. My challenge now is that I want to make the excel file a published parameter so no matter which excel file is used, the FeatureReader will always use the same excel parameter rules to read the particular row/column cell. I started by making a file published parameter and only accepted excel file types. For the FeatureReader, the dataset box (where you add which excel file to read) I added the user parameter function to grab whatever excel file the user adds. This however doesn't work because the FeatureReader parameters are cleared out and it wont find the particular column/row anymore. Any ideas? Thank you!or this issue?

Easy...1259 .000 files to be written to 1259 .geojason files. I want to keep the file names the same (with the extension changed naturally). So file1.000 becomes file1.json etc etc.

Hi.I just installed 2019.0 (build 19238), and tried to open an old workspace, which made it crash FME.After some work, I narrowed it down to a replicable error, where I open a blank workspace, and just try to add the Tester transformer. This alone makes FME crash.I tested whether my setting FME to use Python 2.7 was a factor, but it also fails with Python 3.7.Please advise.
