Dynamic workflows using new AttributeCreator data types?

I have followed this pattern of a workflow for years, where I maintain attribute names and data types in a spreadsheet for different databases, and I import those names and values using the Import... dialog within the AttributeCreator as one of the last steps of a data workflow.When I import values, here's what I usually have in the AttributeCreator:Output Attribute Valueattribute{0}.name AreaNameattribute{0}.fme_data_type fme_varchar(64)Now that the AttributeCreator has a data type in the dialog, should I still follow this pattern? How does this new data type parameter work with dynamic workflows?

Writing raster to PostGIS

I am attempting to write a raster file to a PostGIS DB held on AWS. There is a schema set up to write to and the PostGIS Raster extension has been enabled in the DB. I've added the connection into FME and can successfully connect to itRunning the writer gives the following error message; "Writer failed to create table 'tif.test' because requested schema '\\\\gis\\GIS\\Qgis\\Data\\Raster\\Open Map Local Raster\\SP56SE' does not exist. Please specify an existing schemaPOSTGIS_RASTER writer: Writer failed in write() call" Can someone advise me why this is failing and how to resolve it.

RasterResampler - Problem with quality when downsampling

I have a problem that RasterResampler does not provide good enough quality when scaling down a raster. I have tried all the methods available but it is "far" from the quality I get if I do a rescaling with e.g. Irfanview, Pillow (python library) or Photoshop. Are there any other tricks one can use to get better quality when rescaling with FME? See this image where I scaled from 2308x2212 pixels to 512x512 pixels. The left image is what FME can give me with the best settings I found (Average 16)The right image is downscaled with Pillow (python) Note how "pixelated" FME's result are. Compare for example the road markings.

How to see if a template polygon with dimensions will fit inside of a parcel polygon?

I have multiple site template polygons, with various dimensions. Let's say I have 2 polygons that are 100' x 100' and 200' x 200'. I then have multiple parcels that I need to see if any of the site templates fit inside the parcel polygons, no matter the orientation of the site. What would be the best method to determine this? The outcome would be finding which site template, if any, would fit and the orientation within the parcel polygon.

Working with First Column or Row in FME Without Specifying Name

Hello, I would like to ask if it is possible in FME to configure it to always work with the first column or row without knowing its name (to use columns or rows based on their general order). I have many Excel files where columns and rows have different names. This way, I wouldn't have to rewrite everything each time. Thank you very much for your help.

FME KMLStyler ignoring fill and opacity

I have a workspace projecting 3D airspaces to a KML. I am trying to color each different type of airspace certain colors for each type and opacity value but the writer seems to ignore the kmlstyler and I end up with random colors with no opacity. Anyone run into this before?

How do I merge overlapping portions from two or more polygons to one or the other?

I have a shapefile with many polygons, of which some portions overlap. When I use the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner, it disconnects the overlapping portion, but makes it an independent feature with data of either polygons, i.e. now I have two polygons with same data. What I want is, the overlapping portion to be merged with any of the polygon feature. How do I do this? Help me Please

Use a job id as a user parameter

Hello, As part of an application I am developping, I am using the FME Flow API to submit a job asynchronously (using the webservice POST /transformations/submit/< repository >/< workspace >). I have also created a specific webservice used in the workspace runned on FME Flow so it can communicate specific information about the result of the workspace to my application. I would like to know if there is a way to use the jobid returned in the response body of webservice POST /transformations/submit/< repository >/< workspace > in my workspace so that it can be passed as a user parameter in the HTTPCaller used to call the webservice I have developped. It would be very usefull for me so that I could create a link between the job sumitted on FME Flow and the information it sends back to my application using the webservice I have developped. I remain at your disposal for any additional information. Best regards,

PowerShell in FME Server

I have a PowerShell script that copies files from a network drive to a SharePoint site. I can get the script to run manually on the FME Server Server using both my user credentials and the FME Server Service user but when I wrap it into a 'System Caller' it runs but does nothing. The workbench runs in FME Server calling the following in the System Caller C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"D:\\TMR\\SaferSpeeds\\copyToSharePoint.ps1" My guess is it is some sort of permission issue but not sure where to start.Any ideas?

How to get Autocad Block Visibility State (more efficient)

I have a drawing which contains more than 700 hundred identical blocks and a lot of other features. The Autocad Blocks are dynamic. They can have one of 6 states where they will display a different geometry. I need to extract the correct shown geometry. I have a new working version I would like to share. And I am curious if this is the most efficient way. These block types are used more often and it is very difficult do show the user in GIS what he is seeing in CAD. My new version reads the file with and without exploded blocks. I use the unexploded block to detect the parameter that controls the 'visibility' state. I need to read the exploded version with 'preserve insert position' to get the correct autocad handle that I can match with the unexploded version. And the autocad block number to connect the correct the autocad handle to the other geometry. Then I can filter out the correct display state. See my attached example.

FME Desktop & FME Server crash while running workspace

When adding a new part (containing 5 feature mergers) to an already excisting workspace, which was already published on FME server, FME Server runs into a Failure without expressing why. The workspace is mainly made out of FeatureMergers and AttributeManagers. When replicating this problem in FME Workbench 2021.2 with cashing on the whole workspace runs smoothly without any problems. If I run the workspace normal manually the FME workbench stops working. Hopefully anyone knows how to deal with this problem? Maybe there is a work-around?

See attached screenshot. The orange points is the removed points.What settings should be used to simplify the road surface?
