I'm using FME Desktop (2022.1.3.0) to run an AreaonAreaOverlayer on two very large Geopackage files. It's been running for 4 days and currently on "Preparing spatial indices for intersection phase# 2... 11.91% done". My PC has 128Gb of RAM and 40% of that is free, yet FME is only using 7Gb and thrashing my pagefile.sys. Does anyone know how I can force FME to use more physical RAM please? ThanksRob 

I am unable to connect to my organizations enterprise portal.  I have a web service connection that works for other members of my organization, but whenever I attempt to connect I get the error: "Type: 4, Number: 1, Message: Failed to get authorization query string." I have tried everything that I, my boss, and my IT department can think of, but still no luck.  Any advice would be appreciated, Cheers.

I have multiple SQL stored procedures that provide both subtotal and summary information. Goal is have all the stored procedure result sets writing to the same Excel worksheet in specified locations. The nearest I've gotten is correct locations but SEPARATE worksheets of the same Excel spreadsheet. Close, but that means I have the same problem I started with, having to copy/paste data to get the correctly formatted results. Is this possible? 

Hello , i am using two feature reader one for oracle non-spatial and other feature reader for an Arcsde geodatabase I would like to write the output in geodatabase including Feature dataset ,to use it later as input for ArcGis pro .how could I achieve it ?Fme 2021 thanks in advance

If a column contains the string "Insert," I want to change all the values in that column to "Insert." If the column does not contain "Insert," we want to leave the values in that column unchanged. Is there a method or approach available that would allow me to accomplish this objective?

Hello, I have a rather simple request for which I am not finding a solution. I have a Geopackage (multi-polygon geometry with table) already populated with data, let's call it "version 1". This Geopackage is copied and a manual update of some values contained in only 3 columns (out of the total 20) is performed, at attribute level only, let's call it "version 2". My request with FME is to copy the table values that have only been updated in the 3 columns from the 'version 2' geopackage to the original 'version 1' geopackage.  Thanks to "ChangeDetector" we were able to compare and isolate these cases, but we cannot "write the update" in the "version 1" geopackage. But, an additional condition to be introduced would be that to "write" the value to the "version 1" table, the field there before the change must be "null" Thank you

I am new to FMe, and I am struggling with the Test filter. Here is what I'm trying to achieve:If 'No_Feature' has both 'Insert' and 'Un' values, then it should pass.If it only has 'Insert,' then it should pass.If it only has 'Unchanged,' then it should fail.I have tried everything, but I haven't been successful. Is there anyone here who can help me out?I am attaching the workspace for your reference.

How can we handle Symbology (or preserve Symbology) in FME while reading data from ArcGIS online feature layer?

Hi Community, I have created an FME workflow to complete a RAG analysis (Red, Amber, Green) and need help to automate the very last step of the workbench which uses a ExpressionEvaluator transformer. For now I have included 14 different ExpressionEvaluator transformer to calculate the average value of the 14 RAG guidelines, here is an screenshot of the 14 transformers: ...but what I want to improve is the way of each of these 14 guidelines are being calculated as the ExpressionEvaluator transofrmer uses an expression that manually needs to be updated each time a new dataset is added into the analysis, here is an example of the expression:  If an additional dataset needs to be included then I manually need to change the expression from 5 to 6 as divider...and trying to avoid this. Is there any way I can tell FME to update the divider if new dataset is added? Ultimately I want to make the average calculation as a Custom transformer.   

Currently I have few AttributeCreator to do the following: Insert numbers into table if no matches found (Attribute Value=INSERT) Replace number into table if matches found (Attribute Value=UPSERT)However there's a need to add numbers to existing values. Do not see any APPEND or ADD attribute value from the dropdown.  Any help would be appreciated!

I am trying to publish a new Web Connection to FME Hub that uses OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow. My test workspace fails when FME Hub tries to run the test workspace. I suspect it is because the Authorization Code flow requires user interaction. Is there any way to successfully test this workspace that calls the Web Connection I am trying to test?

To get the number of features from a FeatureClass in a File Geodatabase you can use arcpy's GetCount.arcpy.management.GetCount(<featureclasspath>)So I tried and got this working.import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport arcpy class FeatureProcessor(object):     def __init__(self):        pass     def input(self, feature):        arcpy.env.workspace = feature.getAttribute('path_windows')         feature_classes = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()                fc_list = []         for fc in feature_classes:            count = arcpy.GetCount_management(fc)            fc_list.append((fc, int(count[0])))            print(fc_list)         self.pyoutput(feature)    def close(self):        pass     def process_group(self):        passBut no matter what I tried, I could not get the list to the feature. I expected it to be something like:feature.setAttribute("fc_list",fc_list)The log keeps reporting the error:Python Exception <TypeError>: Could not convert attribute value to a supported attribute

I have a File geodatabase with field aliases that are in the correct case that I wish to preserve, however, I need the field names to be in uppercase.  I have tried to do this using the AttributeExposer, followed by a Tester:with the values that end with _alias being passed directly to the writer while the values that fail i pass to a BulkAttributeRenamer to convert them to uppercase before passing them to the writer.  - but i don't think the aliases are being passed to the writer properly because everything ends up in uppercase. How can i correct this, preferably while still using the Tester transformer?

Hello,I'm relatively new to using FME and have been tasked with synchronizing a local folder and it's subfolders with Sharepoint. I have installed and configured the FME SharepointOnlineConnector and it is successfully synchronizing the contents of the folder and it's subfolders to Sharepoint in its default configuration. The only issue I'm having is there are some .xml files that are present in these folders that I do not want to synchronize. Does the connector provide any means of white or blacklisting specific file types from being uploaded? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how this would be best accomplished? The section titled "Clean up your SharePoint Documents" in the following link would allow me to delete the unneeded files after the load, however this is not ideal as it would mean the files are unnecessarily created and deleted on every load.https://community.safe.com/s/article/Reading-and-Writing-SharePoint-Libraries-with-FME Ideally I wo

In FME flow if I had a process which downloaded physical files to resources folder but as part of the data workflow, these files will need be deleted once files are utilised, what is the best way to go?

Hi, I have las files to process and update the SDE as contours. One of the attributes which I need to include is a creation date. Unfortunately, when I try to use Attribute Manager to create the new column 'DATE' the value based on 'las_file_creation_date' is added as a new row and doesn't update the whole column as the attached print screen. Does anyone come across similar problem? Thanks

Hi, I would like to merge the two lines below into a single line, since they have the same ID field number, and the other information is the same, except VARIED, which can be any value, either BBC2 or BBC4. How can I do that? Thank´s 

Hello,I have numerous las v1.4 pdrf 7 tiles from a dual channel airborne lidar sensor - there are multiple source ids (flightlines) in each tile, and most have the scanner channels coded correctly as 1 and 2.  One line however has the scanner channels coded as 0 and 1. Is there a way in FME to go through all of the tiles and only change the scanner_channel for a particular source_id?  I would envision a script running through all of the files, then at any instance where the source_id matches a user defined value (the flightline with the problem), then it would change then scanner channel from 1->2 or from 0->1 while retaining all the other non-matching points, and all other parameters such as classifications. Thank you for any tips or suggestions,Ben

When, oh when, will the wallpapers for 2021 become available ??I have a wall to decorate ......

I have a power shell script, which retrieves data and saves it to a Jason file. I can run this with a Windows schedule task. I have successfully created a FME project which retrieves that data and populates a database table. Now we want to look at the possibility of executing the power shell script, within the FME project. I have tried this with a SystemCaller but it does not work. Therefore I tried to simplify it. I have created a batch file that appends the current date time to a text file. I have tried using this instead, but when I run the workspace, the text file is now updated scratch that is not updated.Note, I have tried it with the full path as well as just the name of the batch file. Can anyone advise? Thanks 

Background: We have an almost complete library of Vietnam-war era topographic maps in CADRG format. There are some "holes" in the coverage that I am trying to fill. We use these maps as a background for creating tactical overlays of battlefield information, unit locations, prominent terrain features, etc. I am a Vietnam Vet (USMC), and these maps/overlays/annotation are provided to other vets and researchers at no cost. Up until now, I've use an assortment of other programs to covert both geo and non-geo map imagery into CADRG files (gdal, QGIS, GeoRect, CadrgConvertor, Open Map, Gimp, etc), and as "viewers" and overlay editors of the CADRG use primarily FalconView and Open Map. I'd like to learn how to use FME to do this end-to-end if possible. I've tried a few basic conversions in Workbench with varying degrees of success...mostly trying learn by and adapt work by other users. I'm a very basic user. Much of the source material for the map i

On FME Flow we added a Network Based Resource. In FME Flow, I can see that the system path of this Network Based Resource is characterized with a parameter, e.g. '$(My_Network_Based_Resource)'. I had some trouble on using that parameter in a workspace with FME Form Workbench. FME Form is not aware that this parameter exists, and upon using it in e.g. a path reader.Is there any way that you can expose additional FME Flow parameters to FME Form Workbench? As a workaround I was able to use a ParameterFetcher, and then feeding in the attribute value of the Network Based Resource into the FeatureReader, but that seems not ideal. Also, the ParameterFetcher does show a Red Cogwheel, because it is not aware of the parameter. Another alternative is probably to create an additional 'FileURL' type of parameter, and set the (default) value for that parameter to '$(My_Network_Based_Resource)'. However, also here it seems that you are then forced to make the FileURL parameter

Hello Forum, I looking into using FME Desktop to connet to an API using the HTTPCaller.  HTTPCaller requires a selected authentication method. The options are: Basic, Digest, NTLM, Web Connection, Single Sign-On. However the API owner has said that their authentication method is "Bearer Token (with an API key provided)". Is this compatible with any other the existing authentication methods available in HTTPcaller? Thanks,Stuart
