Connect to API with OAuth credentials

Our supplier has changed their API and are now using OAuth. I'm struggling to connect, mostly because they are very unhelpful about what is needed in the Header and Body to access the credentials API I have been given this information:access token URL https://ashridgeidentityserver.azurewebsites.net/connect/token OAuth 2 with Client CredentialsClient ID : AG_WaternetAPIClientClient Secret : **********Client Scope : AG_DatabaseAPI And a screenshot from their POSTMAN service. Can anyone help me set up the HTTP Caller? I have added the client secret to a Bearer Token thus far but just get "bad request"

Travelling salesman with multiple vehicles

HiI have a travelling salesman use case, where a fleet of perhaps 2-4 vehicles need to reach a set of locations in a municipality. I have used the shortestpathfinder before, but not with multiple agents/vehicles. Is that possible (finding the optimal plan for, say, 3 vehicles for an address list)? I found https://engage.safe.com/blog/2016/11/fmeevangelist158/, but it doesn´t mention more than one vehicle.

En-masse data translations

 Hello Group, I manage a large directory of geospatial data, mostly in .tab. But times and needs are changing and I’d like to have the data available in other formats such as shp, geojson and gpkg. In an ideal world we’d have a PostGIS database, but that’s not about to happen any time soon. So, for the time being, and probably into the foreseeable, I will continue to maintain flat files.  In FME Form, I need a process where I can point a FeatureReader at a folder and, in as few steps as possible, write each one to .shp, for example. I need to maintain the name (done so through Accumulation Mode: Merge Initiator and Result, I believe). So, for example a folder may contain 20 tab files (Zones_A.tab, Zones_B.tab, Zones_C.tab etc. etc.). I would want to create Zones_A.gpkg, Zones_B.gpkg, Zones_C.gpkg, but do so in one go. I know I can read in files from a folder (via ‘Select Multiple folders/Files’ in the FeatureReader) and then publish as a different format to the same location (or differ

How to apply attribute alias to all features using the existing attribute name

Using the AttributeManager, i understand that i could create a new attribute_alias for each attribute i want to update. However, since there are hundreds of attributes and they all need to be named the same as the existing attribute name - except in TitleCase without underscores > I wonder if there is an easy way to do this?

Combining the output of PATH and PDF readers

What I want: I want to read a list of pdf files and write metadata of these files to a postgresql database. The attributes I want to export are number of pages, file name, file path and file id (which I create through the UUIDGenerator).  I start with a PATH reader to find all pdf files from this folder through all the subfolders. The problem is I also want to add the number of pages of each pdf file to the output table and I don't think I can find this with the PATH reader.  Therefore I included a PDF reader and have found the number of pages of each pdf. Now the problem is - how do I combine the output of these two readers? I have tried to use Featurejoiner and Featuremerger but both of these requires a common attribute to join on. But I can't find a format attribute in the two readers that is unique. Is there a way to index the attribute tables of each reader? Or is there some much easier way to perform this action?  I have included a screenshot of my workspace until now.

Is there a way to connect to a secured ArcGIS server map services without setting the web connections ArcGIS Portal(template)?

I am trying to connect to a map service hosted on another organization's ArcGIS Server. I have the credential for the service and able to connect through the REST endpoint on a browser. When I try to connect using the ArcGIS Server Feature reader, I get the error that a token is required. I read on community blog that some people had to set up a web connection using a Portal template .It looks like this requires and AppID from the Portal, which I can't obtain since I am no admin and it is from a different organization. What are my options then?  Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

OData reader with "$filter" parameter?

I'm new here and need to filter data from a Odata feed. The feed contains open data so no need for credentials. When I add an Odata reader and paste below URL, I can choose several feeds. The main one is named: TypedDataSet​https://opendata.cbs.nl/ODataFeed/odata/82062NED​​The direct link to main Odata feed is: https://opendata.cbs.nl/ODataFeed/odata/82062NED/TypedDataSet​It contains data from 2012 tot 2023 April. I only need data from 2022 and higher. I found some tips for filtering like placing?$filter=Perioden gt 2021MM12 but this doesn't work. I think I'm almost there and only need to figure out the right syntax. Can anyone help me?Thanks in advanced!Cheers Richard ​

Is the GeometryFilter altering the data or the way the data is presented to the writer?

I have a dynamic workflow that writes spatial data from a MS SQL Server to a postgis database. Since my inital data is not always restrictive on geometry types, I want to ensure that Geometry types are well defined in my destination database. I had an issue with mixed lines and multilines that I solved using an aggregator (destination geometry (multilinestring) ) but I had some geometry collections creating some issues when writing data so I added a GeometryFilter. Visually no feature is filtered (only lines) and the writing is doing great. Removing this filter will make the writing fail.  My question is then : Is the GeometryFilter altering the data or the way the data is presented to the writer?

Workspacerunner parallel processing same worspace

Hi, I'm looking for some additional explanation on parallel processing using the workspacerunner transformer. There's 20 batches of GDB-data (all separate gdb's to prevent locking).When I use the workspace runner to use 1 workspace to run 4 parallel instances using different input and output geodatabases (no locking is occuring) for all 20 batches something goes wrong. I cant tell what is causing issues because the logs are incomprehensible. Does every instance keep overwriting the log file? I see that it executes the command to run in a rapid order while each feature is expected to run around 5 minutes. After waiting and seeing all FME processes finish in my Task Manager i only see around 4 output geodatabases made. I need to see: 20. However: I tried to fix it. I use Text-reader and Text-writer to create 1 .fmw for each batch: so 20 fme models. I use each model 1 time in each parallel process. Meaning: unique input gdb, unique output gdb, using unique fme workspace. This

Why AreaOnAreaOverlayer stopped working?

Hi, I am a beginner, mostly have been using graphic QGIS interface before this. I appreciate FMN Workbench very much :)  I have been comparing old and new data from catchment area streams. Suddenly the second AreaOnAreaOverlayer stopped working. No matter what I did: it did not bring anything else to the table than the _overlaps data column. It's quite a big area (with smaller catchment areas in it) I am studying so the information about the catchmentarea_id is important. I'm choosing only the areas where are streams defined to me when I started working.  This is for someone having the same issue: do not spend time with transformer not working. Copy the first one working and rename it for example 2_AreaOnAreaOverlayer. I didn't let the system to rename it anymore, just in case because I don't know why the table information disappeared.  Hope this helps someone other to save time. KatiFinland
