FME Server can't open Oracle client libraries but Desktop can

On the FME Server VM I have setup, the 64 bit Oracle Instant Client isn't being recognized by FME Server. I have the PATH environmental variable set to the folder. I also installed Desktop on the same VM and it has no problem connecting to Oracle databases. What else can I try? This is the error I get when running the workbench in Server:Oracle client libraries (e.g. oci.dll) could not be loaded. Ensure that the 64-bit client is installed and properly configured, and the PATH environment variable includes the file path to your Oracle client. Refer to https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-setup-an-oracle-instant-client-for-use-with for more informationThe Oracle Instant Client setup is the "Basic Package" Version 21.9.0.0.0 FME Server2022.2.4 Build 22792 - win64 FME Desktop2022.2.4.0 (20230303 - Build 22792 - WIN64)Database Edition

How to Write features in a specific order / Hierarchy?

Hi Community, I'm working on a workflow that needs to write a final Feature class based on a particular hierarchy. The workflow includes a few 'AreaOnAreaOverlayer' steps + ListConcatenator to indicate which parcel overlaps which, below a screenshot with the desired hierarchy:1 - Most important parcels A2- Middle important parcels B3- Less important parcels C I can't run dissolve + clip as need to keep the overlapping information to be 'listconcatenated' so decided to use a Sorter (alphabetical order) to obtain the desired order but isn't working 😞 as there's areas where the parcels C are on top of the parcels B. Below an example where the overlap in the middle between 2 parcels (B + C) should be assigned to B but for some reason is CThere must be a way to tell FME please write parcel A on top of parcels B and then parcels B on top of parcels C and parcels A on top parcels C. A>B>C Thanks a lot in advanced 🙂

PointOnAreaOverlayer Help - One Point shared between two polygons

Hi Community, Classic issue with the PointOnAreaOverlaye where I have got one location where the same centroid is shared between two parcels and want to bring the information from point to area. Attached two screenshots that explain the situation. In theory...by creating a list and exploding should work but doesn't give me what I want as the output contains 2 parcels overlaps where there're two points Example 1) I need to bring the assign the point info to each of the parcels. As you can notice the point on the left is shared between two parcels.Example 2) Also, I need to bring the assign the point info to each of the parcels. As you can notice the point on the right is shared between two parcels.I have tried to 'Generate List on output Area' and then explode but the 'element_index' and '_overlap' are different so can't use a tester to filter the list.I have also tried NeighborFinder to filter only those centroids at the middle of the parcel . Thanks

FME cannot handle mixed-Z node in a single feature ?

Hi all.An I correct in assuming, that FME cannot handle non-point geometries, i.e. with multiple nodes, when some nodes have Z values, and some don't ?I'm seeing that GeometryReplacer adds dummy Z values (0) where they're missing when importing from WKT og GeoJSON.Is this a problem with the transformer only, or a more general problem with the handling of Z values ?In a system we're running on FME Server, I need to replace any missing Z values with an official fixed value: -99. This is done using the 3DForcer. But if I can't control missing Z values during import, things are very problematic.I made a small test workspace, and ran it in 2020.2 and 2022.2, and both exhibited the same behaviour.Cheers

Is there any guidance/documentation available on the best approach to take when upgrading an distributed installation of FME server based on the Azure marketplace images?

How to fix the order of user parameters in FME Server 2023?

Hello,I would like to creat a server app in version beta 2023 and I have some user parameters in my workspace that use the conditional visibility. After publishing the workspace in FME Server 2023, the order of user parameters get wrong (using conditional visibility, after selecting an option, the next parameter should be displayed under or after the first parameter but it displays before the first parameter and it is confusing)Do you have any idea how can I fix the order in FME Server? Thanks

ArcGISOnlineConnector - update not accepting Form

Hi all, I try to use the ArcGISOnlineConnector to update an existing Survey123 Form item on ArcGIS Online, but no success this far. When I choose Request type 'Update' and upload a zip-file with the same contents as downloaded via the 'Download' action I get the fme_rejection_message:"file must have AGOL item type 'Form'" and fme_rejection_code INVALID_FILE. When I slightly adjust the downloaded zip file by removing the folder 'esriinfo', leave its contents intact and zip these files again with the same file name, it still shows this rejection code. This latter file structure is actually the same as in a blog post by Esri that demonstrates how to use the AGOL REST API and update the item in a Python script. So I expect this to work:https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2017/12/08/an-alternative-way-to-update-the-media-folder-of-a-survey123-form-item Any ideas on how I could get this working with the ArcGISOnlineConnector?
