Hello ,how could I convert lines to too many points ? i have used chopper with max vertices 1 but it seems to me a little points that I get .i would like to have too many points as possible for each line .what should I do ?thanks kn advance FME 2021

In the JobSubmitter (and DataDownload etc) service you can have the body of your POST request be treated as an input dataset.  I'm trying to run a bit of a post process to create a summary of the previous job and as part of that I want to be able to access the file saved on FME Server. I can see the file in /system/temp/requestdata folder but I can't figure out how to get the actual file name for a given job.  The only place I can see this is in the actual job log which I really don't want to have to parse.  each file has a prefix which looks to be some number which is increasing overtime so I'm guessing it's related to a timestamp.  Anyone know of a way to know which file goes with which job?

In my colleague'script there is an ArcGISOnlineConnector and my colleague made a parameter of the password for the ArcGIS Online connection.At FME Server, we first filled in the parameter for the workspace and made a testrun. The script ran and it works. However when I make a shedule of this script, fill in the parameters, after triggering once, then for some reason the value of the password gets the following string (see image below). I am not sure why that happens. Then I change the value to the correct pasword, however after triggering the schedule, the password changes itself again into that long password, while this long password is not defined in the script itself. Since the password is not correct, the script will fail since no connection can be made with ArcGIS Online. Does anyone might know why this happens and what I can do to get the original password all the time instead that it changes itself after running once succesfully.

Hi all!I want call a soap service in FME. I use this link:https://swea.riksbank.se/sweaWS/wsdl/sweaWS_ssl.wsdlI used the program SoapUI to generate and test the xml request. In SoapUI the return works fine. This is the request I use:<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsd="http://swea.riksbank.se/xsd">  <soap:Header/>  <soap:Body>     <xsd:getMonthlyAverageExchangeRates>        <year>2022</year>        <month>1</month>        <languageid>en</languageid>     </xsd:getMonthlyAverageExchangeRates>  </soap:Body></soap:Envelope> However, in FME I only get a list of function as a return.Any help is welcome.Thanks in advance! 

I'm trying to calculate the county left and county right of a road centerline based on it's direction of digitization and position within or along county boundaries. Someone had suggested the TopologyBuilder transformer but I must be doing something wrong. The right and left face fields are <missing> on the centerlines edges but not on the edges that were converted from polygon. I hope this makes sense. I'm using the same projected coordinate system on both datasets and the roads were split at the county boundaries in a prior transformer (LineOnAreaOverlayer). Please help! I've been at this for some time now.

Hi, Is Longitude and Latitude information being necessarily for FME to work?

Hello, I have a dataset of addresses (points) and another dataset containing the hospitals (points).I have a dataset for all the roads in my study (line).I would like to know which is the closest hospital to each address by the road (not Euclidean) and get the distance. I tried with "shortestpathfinder" but I have to put a line as input, which I calculate with "Neighborfinder", but it gives me the shortest euclidean distance and not by road. Thanks

Hello, I wanted to share training resources with some new people at my org, but I'm getting an internal server error on your website https://engage.safe.com/training/live-online/

Updating a GIS Layer in a database that is using Branch Versioning from a GIS Layer that uses traditional versioning. The branch version feature service that I am updating is set to a specific version where I am not reconciling or posting the results to default. I set the Feature Type Handling to Truncate existing and feature operation to Insert. The branch version layer is not truncating, and I am getting a duplicate record result instead of a single set of records. It appears that it is not truncating. I am also Getting the following errors : ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '' and the message was: 'Could not access any server machines. Please contact your system administrator.'. Details: ''ARCGISPORTALFEATURES writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailshttps://community.safe.com/s/forums

Where can I locate data for posted tutorial on the website so as to use it for practicing purpose. For example, I want to do hands on training on common GIS operations on this link https://community.safe.com/s/article/area-and-distance-measurements.

Hello I'm doing a spatial join between a polygon layer and a point layer. For polygons that are "passed" I want to retrieve the attributes of the corresponding points. Wich transformer should I use ?Thanks

Hello ,Will be possible that FME Server integrate with SAP BW ?i would like to deliver the data output of fme to sap bw Thanks in advance 

SFC (Scadec Feature Comment file) files are used to store CAD data and are included in the SXF (Scadec data exchange format) format of the CAD data exchange standards.

100 % new to FME and FME Academy. As a new user I have started my first trail, Integrate Data with the FME Platform. The third Module, Transform Data, has the student connect to a postGIS database, called fmedata at: I have tried this as documented, but get no response. A ping to this returns: Pinging ec2-54-214-172-21.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com [54.214.172.21] with 32 bytes of data:Request timed out. Is the database available? 

I use Data Interoperability extension. I try to change the location of the log file, but the Log file parameter is missing from Navigator > Tool parameters > Logging . There is another ETL tool in the same toolbox, where I can see the parameter. Any ideas why is it missing, and how can I make it visible? Thanks.

I have a dataset that has multiple records, each with a different types. Each of those types could have any number of records from 1 record to 5000+ records.  How can I write these records to individual files based on a limit of 50 records per file with no more than 10 types? For example: File 1 would consist of:Type 1 = 10 Records,Type 2 = 37 RecordsType 3 = 13 Records File 2 would consist of:Type 3 = 50 Records File 3 would consist of:Type 3 = 5 recordsType 4 = 45 records and so on... and so on... I've tried groupers, and I have tried building lists, I've also tried the modulocounter, but I can't seem to find a way to build this criteria with any of those. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you! I've built a sample set of data that could be used to do testing. My final output needs to be no more than 50 records per file with no more than 10 Circuit ID's in each file. Please help! 😁

ERROR |HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): [1]: HTTP transfer error: SSL connect error.When I run a ws with a http-caller on a Remote desktop (and FME-server) I get the fault.When I run the same ws with a http-caller local it runs well (but very slow).There is no firewall issue running on the remote desktop and running on the fme-server.  Why do I get this error? and why is the same workspace running well lacally?Are there steps I can take to locate and solve this fault/message.

I have the 2023 beta and authored a workspace that I would like to use in your latest official version (2022.2.5) which came out after. It looks like a number of updates that were in the beta are also in the official one. Before I try to open my beta workspace in 2022.2.5, I had a few questions: If the updated transformer versions match, should the prod version accept them?What is the best way to back up or document a workspace to use in an earlier version? Any insight is appreciated, and yes, I learned my lesson.

HelloI am generating a json file for photographs metadata.At the start and end of the file I have an open bracket and a closed bracket. I don't want to have this square brackets in the generated json file.Thanks

Why is Microsoft System CLR for SQL Server 2012, still a requirement for FME to work with SQL Serve Spatial - We are on SQL Server 2019, and we have CLR 2019 and 2017 installed. Surely it should use the CLR that is installed. Without 2012 CLR installed - FME does not work. 

Hi !Any idea how to create a 2D grid with hexagons instead of squares?I would like to reproduce this tool : https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/generatetesellation.htmI tried HexBinner transformer but it works with points. So when I try with a grid of points I created, there is some holes in my grid, as you can see... Thank you !

Hi ! I have a workspace with the version 2018. I would like to launch with workspacerunner with an other workspace with the version 2022. That doesn't works but maybe there is a way to make it works. Do you have an idea? Thanks !

I keep getting an error in my Python caller transformer trying to convert dates in the format '%Y%m%d' to Python 'datetime.datetime' format. The transformer works for the first 236 features and generates the following error:Python Exception <TypeError>: strptime() argument 1 must be str, not NoneTraceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 38, in inputTypeError: strptime() argument 1 must be str, not NoneError encountered while calling method `input'I have examined the input data and nothing seems out of place or wrong with the data. I am not sure what's causing this.
