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

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:

id,v1,v2,v3,v4,v522,hi,hi,1,2,322,hi,hi,1,2,322,,,,,33,hi,hi,2,3,433,hi,hi,2,3,433,hi,hi,2,3,433,,,,,44,no,no,5,5,544,no,no,5,5,544,no,no,5,5,544,no,no,5,5,544,no,no,5,5,544,,,,,

Using the FME Server REST API repositories I am able to retrieve items for every repository using the HTTPCaller , but I have a difficulty retrieving an actual item (the .fmw to download or put into a parameter)As in this exampleI tried Accept=contents and disposition=inline in the Headers section of HTTPCaller, but all I get is information about the items and not the item itselfCan someone give me an example of configuration of the HTTPCaller

I'm having problems with the "fmepy emailer"....  Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'fmepy_emailer'PythonFactory failed to load python symbol `fmepy_emailer.Emailer'.

TIA for your help!!! 

I have LAZ files which I want to divide into smaller pointcloud (XYZ format) to use in another software. I cannot find how to split / divide a single pointcloud into smaller ones, based on point counts. For instance, splitting a single cloud of 20 M points into 4 clouds of 5 M points. For now, I use the PointCloudCoercer to create single points, then add an attribute for "batch number" (with the point number), then re-create cloud merging the points according the the bach number. But this takes very long. I you have any tricks, I would be happy to know it! Thanks.

Hello everybody, i have a question regarding lines: i have a network of lines in 2D. The information of the z value is stored in 2 different attributes: height1 and height2. I would like to add the height1 to the coordinate0, and would like to add the height2 to the coordinate1 of the line. So far i tried some ways but could not figure out how to overwrite the coordinates of the line.  any help would be very appreciated. thanks a lot rené

I have a network that is just input lines from shapefiles.All line ends are snapped together correctly. The network has an origin point that is a point feature shapefile.I want to be able to run the TopologyBuilder and assign that origin point as node 1. From there, each subsequent intersection of the lines where a new node is created should be incremental from the origin Node 1. In my attached picture you can see the top part of the image is what I want.The bottom section of the image is what comes out. In the TopologyBuilder I am using end nodes only, so there is no overlapping intersections creating false nodes. I have tried to plug the network into the NetworkFlowOrientor and it does not do anything if I then rebuild the topology after it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be

Hello Forum, What is the best part of the community for raising potential bugs / unusually behaviour in FME Form 2023? I've looked around but couldn't see anything obvious. I'm happy to post it in here, but if there is a more appropriate location then that would be ideal. Thanks,Stuart

Could someone please provide a dead simple "Hello World!" example of using the FILECOPY writer? Try as I might I can't figure out how to get this to work. Thanks. This is what I've done so far:FME Workbench >> File new >> Blank workspaceWriters >> Add >> FILECOPYDataset: \\\\server\\share\\source folder >> OKOpen "user attributes" and set:filecopy_source_dataset = "\\\\server\\share\\source folder\\filename.ext"filecopy_dest_dataset = d:\\tempfilecopy_dest_filename = xx-my-filename.ext At this point "Run Workspace" doesn't work. "Run to this" does work, but aside from filling the log window nothing appears to happen.Workspace and log are attached.  

Hi I'm trying to create a workspace that takes in multiple Esri GDB files from a specified folder. For some reason though, only the original GDB file I started with seems to be able to pass (MyProject1.gdb).  Any other GDB when passed through my FeatureReader is automatically rejected, but the log file doesn't say anything useful beyond that I need to save my GDB files correctly, even though the process has been identical for the various files. For some reason, if I were to copy my original gdb and put it in the same location as the original file, the workspace seems able to process the original file, but not the identical copy of it at all.  

Hi, I know this has been asked a few years ago but is there a straight forward way to extract attachments from an ArcGIS online feature service?Thanks

I am following the Trailmix for FME Certified Professional (we don't have server yet and need to complete the first one). Before scheduling the exam there is the module on FME Server Authoring. Should this come after the FME Certified Professional exam has been passed? I don't want to do 7 hours of training if I can't do the exercises and it's not covered in the first exam. I am just querying the order of the modules here, not the content.

Q1. I need help adding 15mins to the this datetime: 5/10/2023 06:45 PM Q2. I also want to be able to pick two datetime points to calculate the duration in hours. Eg. (a) 5/10/2023 07:00 PM (b) 5/10/2023 12:00 AM Tried several options but can't get it to work. Thanks!

I have created a parameter that allows the user to extract records between 2 chosen dates.The problem is that if the user forgets when they last ran the FME, the next time it is run, they may get some duplicate records if the "From Date" chosen is a date earlier than the last time FME was run. As usually the "To date" is always the day the FME is run, ideally I would like FME to take the date and time from the log file. That way the user will always get the latest data since FME was last run.But I do not know to get FME to read the logfile and set this up.

Hi, I have been trying to look into options/ possibilities for setting a format attribute in a Sketchup file. In more detail I'd like to set and write a [FME_JOB_ID] as a format attribute for some tracking and verifying purposes later on. I have used "GeometryPropertySetter" to set Traits and GeometryName with attribute value, but as the geometry could be deleted in the Skp file by user, attribute information could be lost.Therefor I tried to look into the SketchupParameters and the Schema Attributes section for writing format attributes instead of exposing. I also had a look into

Relative beginner here! I'm trying to set up a workbench so it can take features, assign them groups and then assign sequential values per feature in a group. The Counter transformer does the first part but I need help with the second part. I've used the StatisticsCalculator transformer which adds sequential numbers but is there a way to add letters (e.g. a, b, c... and so on)? Or is there a way to do this in the text editor? Thanks for any help!

I have a network of lines, and I need to identify the genuine odd one out.In the diagram below, the red lines represent "Active" lines and the pink lines are "Inactive" lines.Those lines that branch off from the network to a dead-end are genuine, the "Inactive" lines that have an "Active" line either side have been incorrectly attributed, and theses are the ones I need to identify. I am new to FME, so a nice step by step guide would be appreciated please.

This seems easy but I'm not sure how to go about it. I want to do an initial match on ID1 and then detect if ID2 has different values. So A has different values in ID2, and B does not. Initial dataRequired Data   

I'm trying out FME Flow 2023.1 and need to run my workspace with breakpoints. When I reach a breakpoint, the Feature Inspector pops up, as expected, but I'm unable to inspect the attribute values. A new column containing the Data Type of an attribute has been added and the Value column has dissapeared. The only thing I can adjust is to show the Data Type column or not. This makes the usage of breakpoints and feature inspection almost useless. I'm interrested in viewing the values for each attribute, the data type is rather irrelevant.
