Dear all , We are unable to connect FME desktop 32 Bit on windows server 2012 to SQL SDE or geodatabase , we are using arcgis desktop 10.5 but it works fine on PC , Any Idea have to investigate the issue . Thanks ,

Hello FME'ers,I just wanted to give you a quick reminder about submitting a presentation for inclusion in either the FME World Tour or FME User Conference.FME World Tour: https://www.safe.com/call-for-presentations/FME User Conference: https://fmeuc.com/call-for-presentations/Both events are a great opportunity to showcase your talents to the FME community. For the World Tour you can attend any of our events without having to travel far, if at all, and show off your skills to local FME users. For the FME International User Conference, come to Vancouver and present your project to FME users from around the world.You can present on a project that you've used FME for, or just a small task that FME helped you with. Or you could even present some tips and tricks on a particular part of FME that is close to your heart. We're open to any proposals you have. If you're unsure, then suggest an idea and we can help you decide how best to create a presentation from it.Just click on

Hello Team.I have a first Workspace that create a json file after i compressed my Attribute.When i read the json created on first workspace and try to descompresse , i receive this message: attribute could not be decompressed.What is wrong?Attached my templates files.

Previously I'd challenged users to a game of FME Golf. The idea was to take an FME workspace and reduce it to the smallest file size possible. The winner was Todd Davis, who took a workspace 75,835 bytes in size and reduced it to 35,229 bytes, while still producing the same result.So, let's call this new challenge FME Golf Round 2!I wanted to make this a little different than before, so here is the twist. What I want you to do is not reduce the size of the workspace, but the size of the log file!If you download and run you get a log file of 42,472 bytes (45,056 bytes on disk) - or that's the size of the log file I get. The challenge is to edit the FME workspace in such a way as to reduce the size of that log file!The rules:The log file must be produced by running the workspace in WorkbenchEditing of the log - whether manual or with a script - is not permitted. For example, you can't just run a shutdown script to empty the file!The workspace can be edited in any way you

I have an Excel file, a cell with a hyperlink to "Filename.KML" which does open the Google Earth.But I'm looking for a way to have the hyperlink to open the KML and auto select the kml_id (Name Tag) within the Navigation Tree which in return will zoom to the location.

Hi, in the Inspector, I am trying to connect to http://wxs.ign.fr/geoportail/r/wms. I have tried with several EPSG values, but none work. Does anyone have experience with connecting to the IGN France API? Is it possible to use the topographic maps or orthophotos as a background? There are many layers available.

I have a workspace in FME Workbench that was previously working correctly. Now when I run it I see that features are being read in but are not properly interacting with the transformers. For example, features are no longer being merged by the FeatureMerger. The workspace has not changed at all and still completes but the results are incomplete. Are there any things that I should look for?

hi,I have FME 2015.1 Desktop, I try to update attributes of some geodatabse feature class, (only attributes not the geometry) However FME updates is Very slow, may be 1 record in 2 or 3 seconds. I made a Non Spatial connection to the same geodatabase then the whole update process finished in few seconds. Please let me know what can I do to improve the speed using the ArcSDE connection because I want the version editing and not non spatial connection. Please note that my geodatabase has geometric network in it and it is ArcFM geodatabase. Thanks

HiFirst time using .obj files and i can build the mesh as a single item. How would i go about access each individual point geometry? I have tried a few things i could think of but nothing worked.Anyone know much about obj files?thanks

Hello User`s.As you can see below, i have two Source Datas ( Grids polygons ). The source BLOCOS_BS ( blue polygons )has 3 polygons and i need to generate 3 outputs with GRIDS from another source data BLOCOS_TOTAL ( red polygons ). For example to Polygon 1, the output data will be all polygons reds together this polygon 1: One shape file with all poligons For example to Polygon 2: Generate another shapefile with all polygons belows: Thanks in Advance,

My machine has 64GB RAM and FME is really good at using it. But when I run a complex data intensive job in FME it happily eats away about 55-58GB RAM which really limits my other tasks.I have read about the `FME_ENGINE_MEMORY_REDLINE` but it seems like I have to try to set it to somewhere around 0-0.5. But I would like to force FME desktop to limit itself to ex. 32GB. Is that possible?  

Sometimes I think it would be fun to be an FME transformer, sitting inside the FME engine, waiting to be given work to do.  I can even imagine each transformer being a different human being, each with a unique human name.  There's Alf, who is very popular with the GIS users; and Mary, who - in short - I rarely ever meet. Ian likes to break things into smaller pieces; while Lee turns them inside-out. Max goes to extremes to find the information you want; but Ben is not detail-oriented (quite the opposite) Ava likes to do her own thing - in a limited way; while Tom sticks to his job with military precision. Both Uma and Ann have an obsession with size and shape; and Dan comes from a large family, with 8 or 9 siblings.  But who are these eleven, anthropomorphic, transformers? Your challenge for the week is to name them. If you want, post your answers in a text file - or a workspace! - so that no-one else will see them below.Hint #1: All of these people are at the core of FME. None of

Hello FME'ers,Now that the FME World Tour is over for 2016, I'm wondering what were your highlights from the events? Maybe it's new FME functionality you found out about; or it might be a particular demo, meeting someone interesting, What3Words fun, the food, the FME Coin, Dean "the slide monkey", Dale being left holding the baby (literally), or our team of Data Miners!Let us know below - with photos if you like - and also add any ideas you have for next year...Mark

Hey FME'ersSince I'm off on vacation for a while, I wanted to post a challenge that could run for a couple of weeks, and here it is: Scientific Workspaces.In short, create a workspace that illustrates an aspect of scientific theory or discoveries. For example, here's my entry: a workspace version of the Cern Supercollider!It's a sort of GeometrySmasher that searches for elusive Lutz-Murray geometry particles! I added a BaguetteFilter transformer because, well, this!The Rules1. Your workspace can illustrate any scientific fact, theory, discovery, or whatever. Maybe something to do with quantum mechanics, Darwin's theory of evolution, or black holes? Use your imagination.2. Your workspace doesn't necessarily need to run or do anything (mine doesn't), just illustrate your scientific concept. Having said that, bonus points if it does do something interesting.3. That's about it. Have fun and produce something brilliant (I know you will). When I return from va

Hi FME'ers,For a little challenge this week, I thought I'd point you to the quiz that appears at the back of the FME training manuals. It's not an exam or anything, just fun FME-related trivia.The quiz questions are simple ones like "name a format whose name has a space-related theme"; to which you could answer PlaNet, Sun Raster, STAR-APIC, or maybe even Danish UFO!The twist is... your score is the number of times that answer appeared in our FME usage statistics, and the lowest score wins! So your answer should not just be correct, it should be the format or transformer you think was used the fewest times in 2015.Each answer scores between 0 and 100 points. There are four questions so the best possible total score is 0 (zero) and the worst possible score is 400. If you get zero - without cheating - then you are the most awesome FME'er ever (and you should check out our careers page!)Post your scores below (and your answers if you like) and good luck! PS: If t

Hi,we are installing a new FME-Server on a new server.We was allowed to use the drives C: and D: at our old Server. On our PC's we're allowed to use D:, F:, I: and so on. So I use the folder D:\\Anwendungen for my Config-Files and those files, where a couple of workbenches can read results or write results.Unfortunally we are allowed to use drives C: and E: for reading and writing at new Server. I thought about to use the shared directories of the FME-Server, but how can I use these folders with FME-Desktop on my PC ?Thanks for IdeasBarbara

I want to .CSV data into Smallword by using FME. In my CSV file ï have coordinates "x y". I want to combine these two coordinates into single point.-->"x,y".CSV formate Data:IN FME Workbench:I want to combine X and Y values into single Attribute.Actually i tried by using "CoordinateConcatenator"  But i am unable to combine the X and Y values.

Hi,I am having an odd and seemingly random problem: I have downloaded a Workspace Runner example (WorkspaceRunnerExample - posted by @takashi in 2013) but, after unzipping, when I browse (from Workbench) to find the .fmw files that were downloaded, the .fmw files do not appear. In fact, when browsing form Workspace, I don't see the WorkspaceRunnerExample folder at all. I have actually had this problem previously, also with files downloaded from this site.Can anyone help me troubleshoot this - I am at a complete loss! I am using FME Desktop 2014 sp4.Thank you,katie

Hi!I have a DWG-File with an area-layer, containing geometries and i want to seperate triangular areas (see Screenshot). All geometries in the Screenshot are in the same layer. I tried to extract the triangular areas, but didn't find a way that works.Facts: - the triangles are not identical and have different areas (calculated by ExpressionCalculator) and different number of vertices (count by ExpressionEvaluator) - all triangles have more than 3 verticesSo, I can't select these geometries with a Tester by area or number of Vertices...Is there a way to calculate the angle of geometries or a another way to seperate these triangular areas? Thanks for help!Juli

The log entry is "FACTORY_NAME Router and Unexpected Input Remover COMMAND_PARM_EVALUATION SINGLE_PASS MULTI_READER_KEYWORD SDE30_1 ..." Which looks like a call to the reader but I have no idea why the parameters generated by the task scheduler would be different than those built by the workbench

Hi everyone,I want to start an FME process within another (using the "workspace runner"), but not before the writer of the first process is done. I have tried to trigger the second process with the "creator" transformer and the switch "Create At End: yes", but the second process still starts to early. Does anybody has a solution for this?Best regards, Ron
