Hello ,i have different points and lines as output of FME . i would like to write the output of Fme directly in new map view in arcmap . thanjs in advance fme 2021

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 <functio

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'.

Please check Tools > FME Options > FME Packages to confirm that all FME Packages are up to dateFactory proxy not initializedEmailer_CALLER (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature New to FME Flow... 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!
