Does FME server upgrade requires workbench/workspace to be upgraded as well?

Hi All,We have a plan to upgrade FME server from 2016 to 2019. Do I need to also upgrade workbench from 216 to 2019? or this is only optional, and If I don't upgrade the workbench will there be any issues related to compatibility of versions between workbench and FME server?There are more than 75+ workbenches and it will require 1000 of Transformer/reader/writer to be upgraded and tested. What is the best practice in above case?Please share your thoughts , suggestion and experience. ThanksZubair

FME 2019 display issue - Menu bar does not appear

Hi,Iam using FME 2019.0.1.0 (20190506 - Build 19253 - WIN64) and I cant find the Menu bar. It seems the menu bar is hidden as I can click on the location where the menu bar is supposed to be and get the menu options.Since the menu bar is hidden, mouse clicks on the rest of the application have shifted below by few centimetres than where they are displayed.I have tried reinstalling and using different monitors but all with same issue.

Append Comma Separated values of One Column

Hi,This might be simple but a tricky one for me. Also, I had read a lot about transposing data from rows to columns and vice versa, etc., but couldn't find much about this one.I have data in one column which are column separated.1,2,3 2,3,6 4,6 I want to append all the data one below the other and take the count of which number appeared how many times. I can take the count from Aggregator. 1 2 3 2 3 6 4 6  Approach that I followed: AttributeSplitter(list 0-100(since the values can be too many as well)) to disintegrate the values in different columns. But, that leads to a number of columns and appending all the columns and rows in one column becomes the issue.Any quick solution for this? Thanks!

Read xml/pbf file after HTTP caller

I have been using FME for some simple tasks but I would like to take it to the next level. I have workbench is a simple conversion from .pbf format and it loads this information into a geodatabase.Next up I would like to have this workbench download an updated pbf file before it starts the conversion.Is there a way to run an HTTPCaller and then automatically read a file that is downloaded from this transformer within a workspace? I am not sure how I would connect the output of the HTTPcaller so that is readable within my workspace.

Deleting elements in an XML file

I have an XML file (see example attachment) from which I want to delete all Notification elements when the Notification type is 'Change of Circumstances'. So in this case I'd start with 3 Notification elements (New Claim, Change of Circumstances and Claim Termination) and once I've deleted the 'Change of Circumstances' Notification I'd just be left with 2 Notification elements (New Claim and Claim Termination).I'd found this article (https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/77687/deleting-elements-in-xml-file.html) which seems to be what I'm after but I'm struggling to replicate it with my file.I've been using Text File Reader with parameter 'Read Whole File at Once' set to 'Yes' and the XMLUpdater with Delete XML Path (though I'm struggling what syntax I need in the XML Path).For info. I'm using Workbench 2018.1.2Thanks in advance.

Dear FME community,I have an attribute which has many blank spaces in the middle. I want to reduce the amount of blank spaces to only one single space (character). I'm not very fit in regular expression, so I'm hoping somebody can tell me the code for the StringReplacer. Many thanks!Kind regardsThomas

Windows Unquoted Search Path for FlexNet 11.15

We have had a security team identify an exploit for FlexNet 11.15 where the path to the lmgrd.exe executable is not quoted and has spaces in the path.I tried to put quotes around the path the the lmgrd.exe but the lmtools application stated "The lmgrd.exe file does not exist where specified". Is there a way to quote the string and have it function, or should I reinstall the LM into a location without spaces as a workaround?
