I have previously downloaded (using SharePointOnlineConnector)a file to my local PC storage, and I know that it is possible to use an S3Connector to upload attributes or files, but, how can I directly upload a file from Sharepoint to FME Server folder in the same Workspace without storing it at C:/?

My keyboard input to FME has suddenly changed. If I use another application I get my normal response, but when I try to type in FME, it seems the keyboard layout has changed (probably to another language somehow). I cannot find anything in the settings that fixes this. Has anyone got an idea what might have caused this and how to fix it?

I am in process of migrating FME to a new windows machine and to run in the latest version (FME 2023.1). I have found that the workbenches run faster in the version we have upgraded from (FME 2018.1) Checking the log files for some of the processes, the SQL creator processes take longer in FME2023.  FME 2023 takes 2:06 minutes to connect and run a query ODBC Driver 17 for SQL server installed on new machine Version 2017.1710.03.01 2023-07-27 12:10:05 Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Trying to connect using Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server... 2023-07-27 12:12:11| 105.0|103.3|INFORM|140521: Database read complete. Retrieved <default parameter> feature(s) FME2018 takes 38 seconds for the same query2023-07-28 02:17:26 |Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Trying to connect using SQL Server 2012 Native Client... 2023-07-28 02:18:04| 40.7| 36.9|INFORM|Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Database read complete. Retrieved 140521 feature(s) Note, I also tested th

We are connecting to an SDE database via and SDE file in server, we would like to use Windows Authentication and the service account the server runs under. But when I load an SDE connection file with Windows Authentication selected it does not pick up the windows credtiasl of the service account. Error Message:Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216118'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Bad login user}Please ensure the connection parameters are correct (server=`egisdev-db.tnad.tasnetworks.com.au', instance=`sde:sqlserver:egisdev-db.tnad.tasnetworks.com.au', user=`', password=`***', database=`EGIS_UNMaster', version=`sde.DEFAULT') I have tried reading from the DB using a database connection set to Windows Authentication, but we need to to use SDE connection as these are esri geodatabases. Any thoughts?

One of the main pain points I've been having so far with using Python with FME is getting datetime attributes from features as datetimes in Python. FME datetimes normally have a sub-second precision of 7 digits, up to 9, but Python stops parsing after 6. "When used with the strptime() method, the %f directive accepts from one to six digits and zero pads on the right. %f is an extension to the set of format characters in the C standard (but implemented separately in datetime objects, and therefore always available)."        #        # Unzoned        #                a_timestamp = feature.getAttribute('a_timestamp')        print(repr(a_timestamp)) # '20230620161403.0020449'                # ValueError: unconverted data remains: 9        # (Python's strptime stops at 6 decimals)        # (This will randomly work once out of 10 because trailing zeroes are trimmed)        # datetime.strptime(a_timestamp, '%Y%m%d%H%M%S.%f')                # This shouldn't be that complicated!        # Also, 

Hello All, I'm working on a workbench to convert IFC to CityGML. Before writing out CityGML, I'm trying to add some CityGML attributes, e.g. class, function, usage, etc.. According the section "Setting CityGML attributes and properties in FME" from Writing CityGML from FME (safe.com), I used these two transfermors "AttributeCreator" and "GeometryPropertySetter" to add the attributes. However, the output CityGML cannot identify the attributes as the ones in CityGML schema. Foe example, I opened the CityGML with notepad, the attributes are look like this:Only "class" can be showed as "<bldg:class>", others are showed as "<gen:stringAttribute name="citygml_...">". What I want is this:May I know is this possible to do in FME Workbench? If so, how? Many thanks.PS. This is my version of FME Desktop. Regards,Qubbie

I have two point datasets, GPoints (~100 points) and OPoints (~1000 points), and I want to find the nearest neighbor for each GPoints entry. However, the nearest neighbor from OPoints must have an ID that matches the values from 2 possible columns in GPoints. In this case the column names are id1 and id2. E.g.The first entry in GPoints has values of id1 = 9001 and id2 = 9005. Therefore the nearest neighbor from OPoints must have an id of 9001 or 9005 (whichever is closest to the entry in GPoints current being analyzed). In SQL this would be WHERE OPoints.id = GPoints.id1 OR OPoints.id = GPoints.id2.

After it begins running, I have this message: Error: The log file for job ID "19099" does not exist.However, I can see it (only the job id and the workspace number) in the running jobs section.

I have workspaces looking a data quality which are automated on fme server. I am looking to record the monthly number updates from the workspaces and was wondering is there a way a writer can create a new file with a new name (e.g jan 2023 or Feb 2023) instead of just overwriting the current one?

Hi all, I'm wondering if it is possible to preserve the order of (unexposed) attributes when they come out of the Generic port of a FeatureReader. The attributes are coming out ordered alphabetically, I want them to remain in the order they appear in the schema. My process involves a dynamic FeatureReader to grab data records, a SchemaMapper to map (some) attributes to new names, a SchemaScanner to determine the new schema and a dynamic writer to write features out in the new schema. The problem I have is that the new schema is coming out with attributes in alphabetical order, rather than in the original order (with the old attributes mapped to their new names). Is it possible to preserve the attribute order from the Generic port of a FeatureReader? Thanks!

I am right now struggling to understand this issue. I have read XML several time with FME several times and never encountered this problem. I have an XML file that just lists a couple of airports with some basic information. The xml file looks like this: I read it like this: But when I read it in, this is what I get out of it: What is going wrong here?

Hi, we have several workbenches deployed to FME Server that use the ArcSDE Queirier, which is deprecated. It was reading data from an .sde and deleting the data based on a WHERE clause, and the translation was continued on the output ports of the transformer. What is a transformer that I can use in its place that meets the above requirements?

I'm using FME Workbench 2022.2.24. In the window title and startup screen, it shows Workbench 2022.2, not the full version 2022.2.24. (I also have Workbench 2022.2 installed so this is confusing.) I would prefer seeing the full version number in both of these places. I haven't starting using FME Form 2023.x yet. Does anyone know if the behavior is the same?Should I post this as an Idea? It seems like a vey minor issue.

I have a database table that contains many attributes, one of which is controlled by a domain of acceptable values. I have a list containing a unique list of these valueI want to step through this list and each time through the loop select just the records from the table that would be selected if the unique value were inserted into in query:SELECT * FROM Table WHERE AttribInQuestion = WhateverColorFor instance, "Red" the first time through the loop would return:I've setup my Reader to read the SQL table I want to query, generated a List of my unique values, and created a TestFilter. The TestFilter works if I just type 'Red' into it, but I cannot figure out how to feed the filter a variable to save my life. I'm not asking about the looping (I've created a custom transformer for that), what I'm asking about is how to insert the 'Red' value into my filter using a variable? Thank you for any help you can provide. K

Can anyone suggest a really good changedetector tutorial or documentation? I'm having difficulties understanding the output where a change in attributes and/or geometry is found. I can't tell which attributes changed (before and after) and I'd like to see exactly where the geometry change is instead of only seeing which features have changed. Hope that makes sense. I'm still learning.

Say I have the following data;for which I can see the following information in the Feature Information window;feature 1; text (bytes): 48656C6C6Ffeature 2; text (string: UTF-8): WorldIs there a way that I can filter the features on the basis of the indicated data type (i.e. 'bytes' vs 'string (UTF-8)'?

Hi there I am trying to connect a reader to sharepoint to read some information in. When I press authenticate this is the error that I get. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?  All the best-Ed

Either directly or using Python?

Hi guys, i'm having an issue when i run my workspacerunner. Undefined macro `UNIT' dereferenced in file `G:\\wb-xlate-1690810120428_4936' I't s workbench build in an older version (2021) of FME. And now i want to run it in 2022 FME version. But it keeps saying that error. I also tried to create an new workbench, with new readers.....but it won't work. What I am doing wrong? :(

One thing I prefer to do when building a new FME tool is to log the input parameters in a startup python script in order to facilitate debugging when things go wrong. A sample of the code I use is below.import fmeobjects fmeobjects.FMELogFile().logMessageString("Input parameter 1: ") + FME_MacroValues["parameter1"], fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)fmeobjects.FMELogFile().logMessageString("Input parameter 2: ") + FME_MacroValues["parameter2"], fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)This has worked great for a long time, however it's cumbersome because I need to manually enter the names of the parameters. I'm curious if there is a method for returning the names of parameters dynamically in the startup python script, and then loop through them to include in the log file. If this is possible, I could keep my startup script the same between all tools and simply copy it into new tools without having to modify.

i have multi rows coming from the source and I want all that rows in one single row and layout same as I mention below Data Source coming like thisI want Output like this in one single Row and the same layout

When viewing (in FME server) my workbench that I uploaded tot FME server I see different Advanced Feature Type Parameters settings then in my Workbench on FME desktop. In my workbench the settings of my writer are 'insert, drop and create' after I upload the same workbench to FME server the settings in server seems to be 'insert, create if needed'.Why is that? I do not expect the settings change while uploading tot FME server. If I run the workbench from server the outcome is that the writer used the 'Drop and Create' and not the 'create if neded'...this behavior is confusing settings in my Workbench on desktop: the settings in FME server of the same workbench after uploading to server:
