What is FME's Headphone Socket?

If you hadn't heard, the new iPhone 7 launches later this week with one very obvious feature removed: the headphone socket!So, as a fun challenge, what do you think the FME equivalent would be? i.e. what part of FME seems very important, but you could imagine being removed if we were bold enough?For example, I know @aaronkoning thinks we should remove the Navigator window in Workbench. The Navigator! I know. It's crazy talk. But Aaron thinks we could move everything onto the canvas and perhaps he is right...?So what do you think? Reputation points to the best (and funniest) answers. MarkPS: We aren't going to jump into action and do what you say, it's just fun to speculate. Because even if you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

compare the records for after read and before write

Hi There, In my fme workspace, I am reading from a SQL Server database. After few changes, I am writing to a SQL Server spatial database. I want to implement a check to see if the same number of records are written as the source and not sure of the best way to accomplish that. This is to check if there were any records missed during to any error. If that's the case, then I want to skip writing to the database. Thanks Jay

Downloading FME Desktop 2013 SP3

On our server we use FME Server 2013 SP3 (Build 13528 - linux-x64). We also use FME Desktop to make our workbenches. A colleague told me that I need to use the same version of FME Desktop if I want the workbench to work without problems. So I think I need FME Desktop 2013 SP3. However, I cannot find this version on the FME Download site, and I read that I need to contact support. Is this the right version for me, and if so, where can I download the installer? Thanks in advance!

How to create new attributes in a feature from the value of another attribute

Hi,I have an Excel reader in my workspace that have 2 attributes (CurrentName and NewName). The value of "CurrentName" shows a list of attribute names in the another reader that already are exist in my work space and the value of "NewName" shows a list of attribute names that must be create in the workspace. I want to create new attributes that their name comes from "NewName" value and the value of new attributes comes from the another attribute that the name of it is similar to "CurrentName" value , for example: I have this Excel file: and add this file to my FME workspace as a dataset (reader1). In my Workspace I have another reader (reader2) that has "id" and "technology" attributes. So I want to create "NAME" and "MODEL" attributes in reader2 with the exact value of "id" attribute for the value of "NAME" attribute and the value of "technology" attribute for the value of &q

Extract Only Trunk Lines

Hi, I have a road network(polygon) from where I extracted the center line. But, since there are donuts and holes in between the areas, it is not getting possible to extract the center line on a medial axis using CenterLineReplacer, so I am using the straight skeleton mode. But, it has too many short lines connecting the trunk line. I have tried using topology builder and list element counter to find the junction nodes to remove the nodes having just 1 junction. But, since there are multiple short lines connected, it is still not possible.Is there a way to do it?

For loop in FME

I'm accessing an API using FME and trying to fetch records by passing certain ids as a parameter to the API . For example the API is,https://developers.onemap.sg/commonapi/elastic/omsearch?searchVal=1&returnGeom;=Y&getAddrDetails;=YIn the above API, I need to keep on increment the value of searchVal=1 from 1 to 100 and then pass each to httpcaller to return the response.I'm able to do this using python caller and get the response using for loop concept. But, I want to do this without python and use any other transformers which does the trick for me.Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks!

Is there a way to transfer attributes, not geometry, from one feature to another?

Good morning,I was wondering what the best practice is for transferring attributes, not geometry, from one feature to another? For instance, I want the ID number from one feature to be placed in another feature, to show correlation, but keep the original geometry.Thank you!David

Data Inspector - missing records

Hi all,I am having a problem when using the data inspector..Often when scrolling through results data will just 'drop out' - never to reappear/refresh.I have to manuall hit the refresh button an often this will not rectify 'lost area'.Please see attached image.Note the rows are blank yet when you look at the window on the right side of the screen you can see the data values actually exist in the table.Thanks for viewing my question.Any ideas on where to trouble shoot this issue would be much appreciated.ThanksLenny in Australia

I have been attempting to export a mosaic into CADRG (.GN), on a set of maps that I stitched together and created one single global GeoTiff. Each time I run the CADRG writer the export completes but automatically projects in Polar Sterographic projection and has had a blank band through the center of the chart. Ideally I would like this export to be in Geo Lat Long WGS84. Does anyone know hoe to solve these issues?

Polygons disappear after using dissolved transformer

I have two set of polygons A and B. After passing by dissolver transformer, it doesn't dissolve all the polygons. Instead it only dssolves in a random fashion. This results in missing of the polygons in dissolved polygon shape.Polygon A:Polygon B:After dissolving A, B. I get this output. Clearly it is missing few of the polygons in dissolved shape.Also shown below - Highlighting the dissolved in dotted(with coordinates) and missing the other polys with no dots.Used parameters:Any thoughts please?Tagging in @takashi, @erik_jan, @TiaAtSafe, @Mark2AtSafe, @RylanAtSafe

FME Challenge: Choosing the Right Transformer (Webinar Tie-In)

Hi FME'ers,In an hour or so we're starting the webinar on Choosing the Right Transformer (24-May, 10am PDT). Several users already submitted scenarios where they are facing a challenge finding the right transformer, and Dale, Iris, and I will try and live-build a workspace to solve their issue.At the same time, we had a few scenarios that we won't have time to cover in full, and wanted to throw them out for your suggestions. So, if you think you know what transformers to use in the following scenarios, or if you have a brief scenario that we can try and demonstrate online, please let us know in the comments below.We'll do our best to work this content into the webinar to make it really live (and quite exciting for us presenters!) - and if you have any comments on the webinar or suggestions for the challenges we are showing, do also let us know.CheersMarkScenario 1: Given this feed of live cycle data from TFL (Transport for London), which transformers would you suggest t

FME Challenge: FME-Created Poetry!

Hi folks,If you lurk around FME accounts on Twitter, you may have seen a recent exchange of poetry between a few of us. I've posted them at the foot of this message.Anyway, it made me think that a good challenge for us would be to create FME-generated poetry. So here we are! I don't really think there are many rules except you must use mostly FME (I can allow a bit of Python etc, but not connecting directly to an API that generates the poem for you).In case it sounds a bit complex, here are some suggestions:Read random messages from Twitter and merge them togetherHave a dataset of poems and select random lines from eachHave a dataset of words and try to construct sentences from themUse an API that (for example) helps determine if words rhymeTake an existing poem and replace words with random attribute valuesIf you don't think your FME skills are up to it, just write us a nice poem about FME!And you will definitely get bonus points for:A workspace that generates a different poem each ti
