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?

Use AD Group in FME Server

Hello, We are looking to use an Active Directory group as a Role in FME Server. I'm able to import an AD group and use the Load Template button to grant the AD Group the same set of permissions as the "fmeadmin" role. The Load Template dialog does not have superuser role as an option. Is it possible to set up an AD group as superuser role? Thanks,Vu Dang

Why are Portal Feature Service Writers returning ESRI 400 errors when run via FME Server, but not when run manually?

We have a pair of nightly maintenance workbenches that clean up feature class attributes via Portal connections. When I manually trigger these workbenches to run, they complete without fail. However, about 80% of the time that they run overnight via FME Server, they fail with the following error: ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Error code 400 Message - 'Unable to complete operation' Details: This operation is not allowed while editing [AutomatedProcess_DONOTDELETE] These Workbenches are trying to Update, No Truncate first. Is this a branch versioning issue? I have done some digging but haven't found anything specific to this particular error other than the ESRI help page saying that "It is rare and causes are unknown." Any insight is greatly appreciated.

FME Server and PythonCaller - 'Could not load module' errors

Dealing with nullable attributes in XmlTemplater

Hi, I am building an xml file with the XMLTemplate. Empty fields are displayed differently than expected. <attribute></attribute> is displayed (exported) as <attribute/>By first changing empty fields to <attribute>Replace this text with nothing</attribute> and then replace the text 'Replace this text with nothing' with null using the string concatenator, it works. But I'd rather be able to properly set the empty fields in the XMLTemplate. How can this be done?
