Hi All, I would like to clip a line with another line. I need to clip my lines in the part overlapping another line and export it to a separate layer.

I need to clip the road with a bridge, and in the section of the road, where the road overlaps the bridge, change its attributes. Thanks in advance for your response

Reading CSV file via directory path and FeatureReader - Get Duplicate records.

Hello everyone, I used "featureReader" to read all CSV files from a specific directory via DirectoryPath and it works fine with me but I am surprised a little bit why I got duplicate data. For example, if I have 3 files, it counts the read 9. What is the best way to ready all CSV files fast and quickly? Do you advise to enable the cache files?

How to solve intermittent runtime errors with FeatureWriter to Snowflake?

For my client we run a lot of translations on their FME server that write to Snowflake. For like 99% of the time that runs without any failures. However, occasionally we are getting the following run time error: "COM.safe.fme.jdbc.TranslationFailureException: net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeSQLException: JDBC driver internal error: {0}." Unfortunately this is a rather non-descript error (I wonder what {0} is). Also this error only occurred after our upgrade from FME Server 2020 to 2022.2. Rerunning the exact same translation the next day so far did not result into this error. So, does anyone have an idea how to prevent this from happening? Frank

FME Beta 2023.0 - new conditional visibility of parameters broken?

I was excited about this new feature announced at FME UC 2022 and as soon as I saw the beta for 2023 dropped (and I also really want to test this on Server Apps), I downloaded to test. However it seems broken. The drop-down isn't revealing anything. Shouldn't it reveal one of the other parameters as input? Or am I missing something? Thanks.

ArcGIS Pro 2.6.10 Python clone and FME Desktop 2022.2.0.0

Hi,We have a python clone in ArcGIS Pro where we have pandas and psycopg2 installed. We have a standalone script that runs fine when run in IDLE (ArcGIS Pro). We want to integrate this into a workflow in FME (preferably without using system callers etc.).In my various testing of compatibility settings and in the main options (including setting the clone with the python home) I only ever have luck with psycopg2 as I think it installed in the FME libraries.Anyway, I believe the correct settings areMain Options/Translation:WS Params/Scripting/Python Comp: Python 3.6+I also explicitly set the Esri ArcGIS Comp to ArcGIS Pro too. When set like this I get the following error about the "encodings" module in the log:Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've not even got the bit about setting this up in FME Server! Regards John

64-bit Background Geoprocessing

Hi,Since this morning since FME Desktop 2022.0, I can no longer read or write to an ESRI geodatabe. All the FMEs in my company are concerned. The error message is : "Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility setting. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http:/ /fme.ly/qua for more details". ArcGis Desktop 2.9 is installed on my machine and the licenses are up to date.An idea?Thanks

Get Corner Coordinates of pixels with color

Hello, i need to georeference 800 maps.Every map is from a grid that is 1km x 1km.From the Scanning and the old paper it can be that the Map has a angle just like showing in the example picture below. Is it possible to get the coordinates of the 4 Red points and set them to the coordinates that the Picture should have from the grid? I know how to do it with the bounding box but i dont know how to deal with the transparency. or is there a better way to make the georeferencing of 800 picutres more easy?

Error in FileGDB which is undetectable in a log file

I ran an FME workbench to create gdb for spatial and non-spatial data (approximately 25 data layers). The process ran successfully and created gdb which has the expected size. Now, when I try to open the gdb, it only shows one table. Although, the log file shows that it reads and writes all the layers successfully. If someone has faced the same issue, I really appreciate your insight on the same.

How can I send batches , for example, 5 rows from the database (SQL non-Spatil) and send to a JSONTemplater and repeat this process?

Hi, I am new to the FME desktop. I am reading data, for example, 10 rows from my database (SQL non-spatial) transforming it to JsonTemplater and sending it via HTTPCaller. It is working fine. Therefore, there is a constraint to sending only batches of 100 rows per JSON file. I have already tried the decelerator but the decelerator only delays the rows. Could somebody help me? Thanks Raphael Yamada

Tick interval greyed out in ChartGenerator

Hi!I am a beginner and trying to calculate a histogram showing point cloud density. I succeeded in creating a bar histogram with the ChartGenerator, however, I have problems with the label, especially the x axis. The x axis shows the number of points 1...394. As you can see the x tick interval is probably 1, but of course I would like to change this to a bigger interval The only problem is that the x and y tick interval is greyed out. Does anyone know why and how I can activate this? I upload an image showing the histogram I get as well as the properties of the ChartGenerator. Thanks in advance!

FME Server App - Cache issue

Hello, I am facing a cache issue with Autocad file using Workspace App - FME 2022.2.0.0. Build 22765 1. I created and published a workspace that reads a DWG file2. I created a Workspace App.3. I upload an Autocad file to my app and runs the workspace. -> OK4. I make some modification on the DWG file on my machine and save edits5. I re-upload the Autocad file to my app and runs the workspace -> NOK. The workspace runs with the non edited Autocad file...6. I go to the App interface and click CTRL + SHIFT + R in order to clear the cache.7. I upload the edited Autocad file and runs the workspace -> OK, the workspace reads the edited Autocad file. Is there another workaround I can use instead of clearing the cache ? I don't want my users to rename their Autocad file after edition.The workspace is in attachment.Thank you !Laurent

Trying to figure out how to do a Server App with validation of user input (with FME Server 2022.2.3)

Trying to figure out how to do that with FME Server 2022.2.3Have the user fill a form ( my guess: Server App with User Parameters)Validate the data entered by the user (lookup into a database for existing value)If the data is good, process the data and confirm the user that the processing succeeded.If there are any errors in the user input, the user should be prompted to correct the input and submit for validation again.When data is submitted correctly, an email is sent to the supervisor with a link that will allow him to validate and complete extra data fields (such as authorization number)I thought that I would be able to do this with Server Apps, Automations or Webhooks, but I can't figure out how to direct the user to a "second step" input .Any Idea is welcome :) Thank you.

I'm trying to create an FME workbench that reads a FGDB, applies a data joiner to populate a field that is missing from the FGDB than use this to update an existing layer in an SDE connection using truncate and load>

The way i currently have it working is a 2 step process where Step1 I use the input FGDB as my reader ---> data joiner to populate my missing field ---> write out to a temp FGDB. Step 2 i use this temp FGDB as my reader to write to my SDE connection where i truncate and load it in to update. I'm trying to find a more way to make this more of a streamlined process if possible?

Attach the result file of an ETL to a response body when triggering a job on the server with REST API

Hey.I am trying to implement a REST logic to one of my etl's. I have few parameters where i input data. For example a string where the user should input a WKT or GeoJSON geometry. We are passing this parameter to the ETL with the REST Api service, we are manipulating the geometry and i want to print out the resulted geometry in GeoJSON or WKT format in the response body of the etl. Right now i am getting a response that contains only the job details but no results.

Check floating license availability in .NET

I need to develop a .NET app to execute somo FME workspaces with FME Desktop.Before doing that, I would like to check if there is a license available (there are only two floating license). Is there a way of achieving that? I could assume that if the process doesn't start is due to license problems, but I was wondering if there is a better way. Thanks for any help provided.

How to define a condition?

Hello,I have been trying to solve this issue for several days now and I can't get a result. I have a set of points within the database that I am sending against the polygon of interest . To clarify to which category each point belongs, points inside the polygon are known points without a question tag (?). Points out of the polygon are unknown points; therefore, a question tag exists before the point name (?). There is a track formed of these points that variously goes into the polygon, from the polygon, and it creates the definition of points within the track, which can look like this: 1. ?APKO ?DANKO POPKO FERI LAKO POKO ARN DAN2. APKO DANKO POPKO FERI LAKO ?POKO ?ARN ?DAN3. ?APKO ?DANKO POPKO FERI LAKO POKO ?ARN ?DAN 4. ?APKO ?DANKO POPKO FERI LAKO ?POKO ?ARN ?DAN JAKO DMZ POPO5. APKO DANKO POPKO ?FERI ?LAKO POKO ARN DAN The aim is to remap the points with question tag (?) into the value without the question tag - to create known points out of unknown points for the target system

Sorting segments

Hello. Does anyone have knowledge of how to determine the sequential order of segments based on already created geometry? Or any other option? For example, I have L616 tracks where I need to combine the points in the list of fixes into one value. If I use the aggregator, I have values in one column, but the values are not consecutive, see the aggregator attachment - the aggregator writes segments - DENKO BINPO VELAB MISKA ETNEL PEKOT DESEN continues KEROP NIVIS VAL REDVA ?KOGAT ?BITLA and ends NIT TABIN ALAMU. It should be correctly DENKO BINPO VELAB MISHKA ETNEL PEKOT DESEN continues NIT TABIN ALAMU and ends KEROP NIVIS VAL REDVA ?KOGAT ?BITLAIndividual segments that have an expected trajectory from top to bottom are in the attachment. Thank you very much
