About MRF2DTranformers

Hello,We are planning to buy licenses for FME Desktop Database and SmallWorld editions 2018. Are the MRF2DTransformers default included in these two editions or we'll have to purchase them separatly ? Thank you in advance.

FME Desktop 2018 won't run translations anymore!

My translations won't run today! They worked fine yesterday. I was using the first release of 2018 (Build #18284). I just upgraded to the latest beta (Build #18445), but that didn't solve it. I'm aware of the issue with ESRI's Geoprocessing patch and ArcGIS Pro, but that has been installed for several months and my models have been working fine during that time. I also checked for the Windows KB patch for the Spectre virus and that has not been installed, so that shouldn't be it either. This is catastrophic for us, and I need help ASAP!

Hi All,i am using HTTP caller and getting wherein i am passing name text and checking certain parameters but getting an error message as "{"status":"ERROR","messageName":"com.tomtom.cpu.coredb.common.dto.ErrorMessage","messagePayload":{"errorCode":"APPLICATION_ERROR","errorInstanceId":"0da931e0-13b8-444f-aa78-534016b68679","errorDetailedMessage":"Illegal unquoted character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 13)): has to be escaped using backslash to be included in string value at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@708a538f; line: 1, column: 111]"}}"Thought this is related to the extra space so i had tried to clean name sting but still it's giving me same error.Can somebody help me with this ?

Removing one side of a bounded rectangle in a polyline dataset

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of creating a dataset that shows the painted lines for parking spaces in a parking lot. I've been using Bounds Splitter and Geometry Coercer to generate a grid of parking spaces along two rows of parking. However, I'd like the individual parking spaces to reflect the actual painted lines on the pavement. That is, instead of having a closed rectangle correspond to a parking space, I'd like to create a polyline dataset where only the three sides of the rectangle that correspond to the actual location of the paint on the pavement appear.For example, I'm interested in removing the portion of the line that is touching the red arrow in the attached screenshot. Any ideas how to remove this portion of the line?Thanks!Jenna

Bookmark content FME 2018

I like to make the titles and other information (bullet points etc) in bookmarks to be bold, of varying colours etc. Is this possible in FME 2018 when creating a new bookmark? It doesn't seem to work for me. I create FME workbenches for a production team to use (many have little to no experience in FME) so I like to comment workbenches quite extensively.

Transformer to switch rotation

Do you need to switch the rotation of your label from arithmetic to geographic or the other way around? You can use the RotationSwitcher I published on the FME Hub.

Terminator Transformer - FMEException

We run the workspace using PERL. We have implemented a conditional check in the workspace for record counts BEFORE we update the table. If that TEST fails, we route to the Terminator transformer.The issue we are having is that Terminator does not set FMEException, thus PERL thinks it was successful.We need to terminate the STREAM of jobs.How do we do that? I do not see anything FME parms related to FMEException.

How does FME Desktop store published parameters that are passwords?

I can't find anything in the documentation about how FME Desktop stores published parameters that are passwords. Are these encrypted? Or does FME desktop store these parameters as clear text behind the password stars? For instance, in the workspace below, I have published parameters that are passwords (I've set the published parameters to password type) How is FME Desktop storing these?

FME 2018: New Run Control Icons

I really like the new run control options, but feel quite strongly about them being in the reverse order. Since data flows from left to right, it feels more intuitive if the first button was "Run To This" and the last one was "Run From This" (as the data then continues to flow towards the right), with the center button remaining "Run Just This". Here's a I think the icons could also be a little clearer too. Reversing the placement will probably help as I find myself constantly hesitating and waiting for the tooltip since I keep picking the wrong option! But I think the bottom part of the green arrow graphic is the most important part and unfortunately it's the smallest and least readable. I'm attaching a of something I feel is more readable.Would love to hear your feedback if you played around with this. Thanks!

Read only those features falling within the Inspector's active view extent

Hi,Do you see a way to have the Inspector read only features falling into the extent of the Inspector's view? So let's say that you are looking at some specific situation with Shape file data in the Inspector but you need to add a layer from a large worldwide PostGIS database in order to get more context. However as this set of data is quite large, you don't want to read all records but ideally only those falling in the active view. There is already a way to add the envelope definition but I don't necessarily want to enter the 4 min/max values for each situation I want to inspect.Thanks!Best regards,Olivier

Inspector doesn't open up automatically anymore

It used to work fine. I had a workbench with inspectors, and after running the translation, the inspector would open up, displaying the data from al the inspectors.That has stopped.I tried doing what was recommended in here: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/4186/data-inspector-will-not-open.htmlBut that doesn't work either. I can't even manually inspect a reader or writer. I have to write to intermediate writers to be able to inspect my data, and then open that dataset within the inspector. Running with inspection on , doesn't help either.Help.

FME Desktop returns error code 2 when running from command line

I have several scheduled tasks running FME workspaces from the Windows cmd environment. I determine whether the run was successful by checking fme.exe's return code, which is 0 on successful runs.This usually works but on rare occasions fme.exe immediately spits out the value "2", and produces no log file at all. I'm unable to reproduce this, but out of ~80 jobs running daily it happens a couple of times a week. My main questions/concerns are: 1. What are the troubleshooting steps for this? and 2. How can I make FME write a log file when this error occurs?This is how I'm calling FME:for %%i in (*.fmw) do ( fme %%i if !errorlevel! neq 0 ( echo "The FME errorlevel was !errorlevel!" >> debug.txt ))
