Hi,I haven't quite been able to work this out. Is there a way to check if FME form is licensed from the command line? Before you try to open FME. I ask because I am making a batch file and I wish to check before it starts to let the user know if they need to update itAny help would be appreciatedRegards

Hello,  is it possible to read geometry from Sqlite in FME 2023? In FME 2022 I was using SQLite Spatial (GDAL) (deprecated), but I'm missing this format in the new version. Thank you.

Hello everyone -  We are migrating from on-prem to Azure. Its lift/shift approach. The machine name is not going to change, but MAC address will change. We can't really get a MAC address before we move the machine. I have below questions. Can we directly edit the current license file with the new MAC address after we have moved to new server ?Does the licencing software supports TWO Network adapters setup. ( two NICs). If its supported, then we can do the below. Is the license server smart enough to detect there are NIC#1 and NIC#2 and that the MAC address of NIC#2 is the correct old address and hence the existing license is valid? We can lift-and-shift the PRD-XXXXX-01 server with the existing license. This will create by default a NIC#1 with the new MAC address.We can then attach a second NIC, NIC#2, to this migrated VM and overwrite its MAC address with the old existing on-prem MAC address.How long does it take if we request for license via - https://engage.safe.com/activation/f

Here is my use case: I have created a workflow that works well and can handle multiple files. However, when I publish this workflow to FME Flow, I have the following problem when I copy and paste multiple files at once: Copy and paste two files at once.The resource or network directory sees the change and triggers the same workflow twice (see https://community.safe.com/s/article/Do-the-Directory-modified-Automation-triggers-support-single-events-for-multiple-file-datasets)The first workflow runs fine and writes all my data to a databaseThe second workflow (which is the same, just triggered a few milliseconds later) fails because of a "UNIQE KEY constraint violation". This is a bit annoying and I am looking for another solution. Maybe if I can run the workflow file by file. But how is this possible with FME Flow? Does anyone have a recommendation on how to solve this problem?*****************Update, 2023-10-26How to proceed, if FME Flow should process the files in a defined or

The webpage titled, "Efficiently Convert ArcSDE to GDB" doesn't provide documentation on how to do that. Is there a tutorial or documentation somewhere on how to convert ArcSDE to a File geodatabase?  

I see in the documentation that this is possible (I.E. setting a value in SchemaMapper using a built in FME function). But I sure can't figure it out. Does anyone have an example, or can they please point me in the direction of an example? Thank you.

Since they use different parameter settings, can we have both of them established in the same FME Form? I am having issues while trying to establish the connections.

In my workspace, I have an FTPCaller Transformer that uploads (copies) files from a folder to an ftp site.  Next step is I want to delete all the pdf files in the source folder from where all the pdf files were copied to the ftp site. I have tried attaching this solution (File Copy - DELETE (safe.com)) after the FTPCaller but the files are not deleted, besides it seems to only delete a single named file. Does not seem to handle wildcards like *.pdf. I also tried FileDeleter FME Hub (safe.com) and it not only did not delete the files, but I was reading it does not work in FME Flow, and I plan to upload my workspace to FME Flow and run it on an incremental schedule.  Should I create a separate workspace that just deletes all the pdf files in the folder and run it after the files are copied to the ftp site? In essence, what is the best way to delete *.pdf files in a folder?  

Hi, I am struggling with one simple task that is extracting information from wms and saving it as geotiff. 1. I would like to use HTTPCaller and ImageFeather to extract geotiffs from wms service https://environment.data.gov.uk/spatialdata/lidar-composite-digital-terrain-model-dtm-1m-2022/wms 2 The URL of the wms should include BBOX=527389,177252,534694,181976&WIDTH=3000&HEIGHT=3000 to minimise the time to read the data 3. The geotiffs should be saved in Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset) Thank you for any help

 Hi,I added a multi-select choice parameter to my FME form, but there are more than 100 values to choose from. Is there a way to let the user select multiple options per click, similar to the Shift+click shortcut in Windows? Thanks,

Excel Reader: Found named range '_xlnm._FilterDatabase' on sheet 'Datenfelder'. This is a Microsoft Excel internal name so FME will not show it as a sheet. If you wish to read this named range, please rename it Excel Reader: Unable to recalculate formulas and refresh pivot tables for Excel file 'Failed to open workbook. Ensure this is a valid Excel file'. %1

Hi all, I have a line and attributes for the length and angle of the line and text.What I would like to have is a vector outline of the text centered over the line. Is there anyway to position the text over the line other than using an Offsetter after the TextStroker? Is there a reason that the height of the text generated by the TextAdder is only about 70% of the value provided in the Text Size parameter?

The error ends with "Please ensure that destination file is closed and check destination filepath" - most reports are generated but the very large ones fail (160 mb). Periodically these will work without an issues. Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!I have about 8 file geodatabases containing 3-6 feature classes (with different schemas) in each geodatabase. I have a standard set of 4-5 attributes (with blank values) that I need to add to each feature class. Is there an easy way to keep the original schemas from the original feature classes, while also having the ability to add new attributes? Thanks for any info!

Hi, I´m using workspacerunner for many process. I would like to see specifically ERROR in each process runned. How can I for save the log with this snipped for each process? Thank´s 

Anyone have any ideas about how to extract the data from this formatted html document? Ideally, the data would be extracted to a table linked to named images in a folder.

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.
