I have an FME workbench set up in Flow that grabs an XML file from an HTTP location - in that application the access is denied and no features are read. This same workspace when downloaded into a desktop workspace and when run with FME Form has no problem reading the XML into features and I can run the process successfully. What gives? Edit - I noticed the client was using the FME Server 2022.2 but provided me with FME Desktop version 2022.1. I updated the FME Desktop version to 2022.2 and now the HTTP requests register 401 unauthorized in both applications so I think this is less about any issue between Form and Flow and more about some nuance between versions... I can still connect to HTTP just fine in 2022.1 on same machine, same creds in a variety of transformers\\readers - but in 2022.2 no dice. Something changed between point versions but do not see this in Issues documentation.

It looks like STAMEN free background maps will be discontinued from 10/31/2023.  Does FME Form automatically show 'STADIA' maps as option from 11/01/2023 for free background maps? Also are there any other free background maps as other options?

Hi I am using FME Server 2021.2.3, from which I am using a SystemCaller to call a python script, which uses ArcGIS API for PythonThe python script runs correctly when run manually on the server and also when called in FME DesktopThe command line on SystemCaller is:"\\\\fme001.dev.stw.co.uk\\C$\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\Scripts\\propy.bat \\\\fme001.dev.stw.co.uk\\e$\\FMEShare\\resources\\data\\CheckVersions.py Waste/COR_RX_WASTE https://tt-gis.dev.stw.co.uk " When running the workspace in FME Server, I get 'Failed to execute'I have tried putting double quote around the whole command line.Have also granted full access to FME Server domain user for the directories above. The error still persistsAny suggestions ? 

Hi all,I'm having issues configuring the JSONTemplater to output my data.I currently have 7 rows, with 2 unique IncidentIDs. I'd like to aggregate the postcode data and geometry for these 2 IncidentIDs so that the json can be used on a webmap showing all the postcodes associated with an incident: I've configured my ROOT and SUB templates but the JSONTemplater fails at the root. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?ROOT:{ "type":"FeatureCollection", "features": [ fme-process-features("SUB") ]}  SUB: {    "type":"Feature", "properties":{"Postcode":fme:get-attribute("POSTCODE")},    "geometry": {fme:get-json-attribute("_geometry")}} Thanks in advanceN

attribuut : Oracle Non-Spatial Writerparameter : Table Handling (Use Existing/Truncate Existing) Is it possible to adjust the values ​​of Table Handling (Use Existing or Truncate Existing) in a flow? In a daily data dump, there can be a mutation file or an initial file per table (csv file).Based on that I want to determine Table Handling.  This will save a lot of work. Now I still use 25 CSV files out of more than 100. This may increase in the future. For example, of those 25 files, 5 can be initial files and 20 can be mutation files. It will be written to Writer Oracle Non-Spatial.For the Feature operations I use fme_db_operation. I hope my question is clear. Thanks in Advance

I am unable to see FME badges in my board.I completed FME basic training and some part of FME advance and server.Please share the link for that.

Hi all,I am generating a HTML report that includes a Map (ESRI Leaflet).This all works fine, but was wondering if it's possible to click on the map and get information from the Feature Layers on my map?If i click on the objects on the map I get no details. I was hoping for the underlying metadata to pop up ?? Is this possible?thanks

I have some old JAVA files from a discontinued Java based program. The file extensions are .jar and .class. The data is basic line, point, and polygons with attributes. Is there any process I could convert these files to ESRI shape or geodatabases?

Hi , I am having problems getting the XMLFragmenter to produce any results if I add a predicate. I have tested the following on an xpath online tool and it works. Workspace/WorkspaceDefinition/DatasetDefinitions/DataElement/Children/DataElement/Name[.="PROMPT_wControlValve"] the online tool requires esri: to work. I attach a snippet of the xml (an esri gdb workspace export).Ideally I would like to return the parent DataElement of <Name>PROMPT_wControlValve</Name> but I would be happy to make any progress. Thanks in advance   http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/10.6

I want to log some workbench results directly to a database. As a template to start from I followed this example https://community.safe.com/s/article/shutdown-python-scripts-in-fme#ex3Works greeat, only issue is fme.totalFeaturesRead and fme.totalFeaturesWritten evaluates to 0 when there are 10'' objekts in my workbench which is dynamic. How would one go about to get the totalFeaturesRead and written for a dynamic workbench? fme.totalFeaturesRead i evaluated if a regular reader is used. But i am using FeatureReader / Writer - in that case it is not reported. But why not?

I've PostGIS table with two geometry types - Point & Polygon. When I read table, I'm only able to see Polygons. But point geometry column is only shown in table and unable to visualize. Is there any way to visualize point geometry instead? How do we explicitly mention for which geometry columns to be visualized? Thanks!

My python code is working fine outside of FME but it fails inside of a PythonCaller. The documentation doesn't give any information about the scope or execution context in which the code inside a PythonCaller is run. What are the restrictions when running python code inside a PythonCaller? Why does it not run the same code that you can run outside of FME? (while using the same installation of python in FME and on the command line)I'm trying to use concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor for parallel processing in Python inside a PythonCaller but I'm getting this error:from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutordef test(x): return xwith ProcessPoolExecutor(16) as executor: result = executor.map(test, range(0,10)) next(result)Python Exception <PicklingError>: Can't pickle <function test at 0x000000000F6A8F70>: attribute lookup test on __main__ failedconcurrent.futures.process._RemoteTraceback: """Traceback (most recent call last): File "multiprocessing\queues.

I haven't been able to figure out a way of disabling the Startup and Shutdown Python scripts I have setup in my workspace. When running my workspace for testing, I don't want the Startup or Shutdown scripts to run since they relate to moving and renaming files and folders that just fail when I'm running tests. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Hi there,We have an excel file with an easy table. Just 2 columns: Position and Id. The file has about 100 lines.We want to read the file and process each line. We have tried with a custom transformer but we are not able to process the lines individually. If we read the Excelfile we get the 100 lines and all lines will be process at the same time. If we convert the lines into a List, we get the error "Transformer/Factory test_loop_2_ListBuilder is blocking and cannot be used in a loop, but was found between 'Loop to test_loop_2_Looper1697190238 Input Splitter' and 'test_loop_2_Looper1697190238 Input Splitter'".  Has anyone an idea to make it?I have found this link (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/transformers_custom_looping.htm) but it helps me only with the loop. Not how I can process the ids separatelly. Many thanks in advance!

What, if any, are people's experiences using FME with python v3.12? any new foot guns or tar pits?

I want to move files from one folder to another. I have added the FileCopy Writer to my workbench and set the parameter to Move, not Copy. I am using FME Desktop 2021.  I think I am missing something because when I run the workbench it runs successfully but no file gets moved. I have included screenshots of my workbench.

Although my Sharepoint admin team has already given me the permission for Sharepoint Online Connector, I keep getting the "Unverified" warning.

I have about 1,000 KMLs in a folder, all with the same schema and only one feature each (line features). I want to bring in each KML into a single feature class in a file geodatabase in ArcGIS Pro and populate a field in that feature class with the unique name of each KML. Is there a way to even do this in FME? Thanks!

Hi, everyone, I need to create a lot of feature classes in an Esri File Geodatabase. Creating them one by one in ArcCatalog takes too much time, I'm sure that there must be a fast way by using FME, I just don't know how, can someone help me out or give me some hints? Thanks very much.Here's the attribute description table:
