How to establish multiple connections at the same time?

Is there a shortcut to creating the connections automatically instead of dragging and connecting readers to writers one by one?

Unable to store connection

HiI am currently trying to create a web connection in FME desktop but it says the following: Unable to store connection. Please try againSQL Query INSERT INTO fme_nc_namedconnections (connectionname, username, servicename, connectiontype) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) failed. Error: attempt to write a readonly database This happens with any connection type I try with this particular windows user account. If I log in with a different account, I am able to save the connection, but I no longer use that account and need to run it through this one. Does anyone know how to resolve this please? Thanks

Return the JOB ID of the JOB submitted through FMEServerJobSubmitter in FME REST API response.

I have let's say FirstWorkbench.fmw which is calling SecondWorkbench.fmw using FMEServerJobSubmitter transformer without waiting for secondWorkbench's completion. Now there is a third party application which is using FMEServer REST API's to trigger the FirstWorkbench.fmw and also checking its STATUS. Once the job FirstWorknench is completed STATUS is showing as success in REST API Job status endpoint. I want to get the JOB ID of SecondWorknench.fmw which triggered from FirstWorknench. Is there a way to do this ?

How to make "pycocotools" available in FME Desktop when using a PythonCaller?

Hi everybody,I have been trying to experiment the new Meta Segment Anything Model (SAM) library on FME Desktop via a PythonCaller transformer.After lots of debugging when making SAM compatible with the IFMERaster object, I finally reached the part in which I need to "decode a mask in COCO RLE format into binary."This is carried out via another library, named pycocotools"from pycocotools import mask as mask_utilsmask = mask_utils.decode(annotation["segmentation"])"Apparently there is no way to pip install such library directly and, therefore, a workaround has been proposed by philferriere in his git repository. According to them, "on Windows, you must have the Visual C++ 2015 build tools on your path".I downloaded Visual Studio Code Build Tools 2022, but I now lack of knowledge to understand what the necessary step-by-step is to make such library available in FME when using the PythonCaller.Could anyone give me some help? I appreciate VERY MUCH yo

Check displacement between geometries

Is it possible to run FME from the command line WITH the name of a file (not the workbench file) to be processed as a parameter? (ie C:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw inputFile.xlsx)

I am trying to come up with a way to use FME Desktop to process files that will be automatically exported from a system and will likely be named with a timestamp (eg filename20230512132945.xlsx). The goal is to create an automated process to handle these files as the appear. I already run FME Desktop from the command line (via windows Task Scheduler), but I am wondering if there is a way to do it and also specify the name of the file I want to have read as a parameter? Something like C:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw inputFile.xlsx I don't think I am going to be able to count on these files having the same name every time, otherwise I could just run the workbench (c:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw) I'd be grateful for any suggestions. I would happily try to do this with FME Server but it is not currently available to me. Thanks, Mike

PointOnLineOverlayer and acquiring attributes of points at both ends of the line

I have street centerlines (Line Feature Class) with intersection points (Point Feature Class) the end of each line. I am using the PointOnLineOverlayer and only the attributes of one of the end points is included in the output. Using the picture here as an example, I want the Line output from the PointOnLineOverlayer Transformer to include the attributes something like this:A St will include attributes of Pt 1 and Pt 3; B St will include the attributes of Pt 3 and Pt 2;C St will include the attributes of Pt 3 and Pt 4;Currently, here is my Line output:A St includes attributes of Pt 3;B St includes attributes of Pt 2;C St includes attributes of Pt 3. Any ideas on how to ensure each Line includes the attributes of the points at each end of the line instead of only a point at one end of the line?

Transformator to show all attributes without values/with only empty fields

Hi all,I am working with a huge database with 300+ layers. Many layers are the same for each province and they have the same structure in their attribute table. Many of the attributes are empty but that differs from state to state (f. ex. height might be empty in 20 provinces and in 5 there is a value). Is there a transformator that shows me which attributes are completely empty for each layer and allows me to filter them without checking each attribute for each province individually? That would be a great help.Thank you all :)
