Versioned geodatabase edit session writes 'successful', but not all are written

Hi,I am using:FME2021.1 32-bitArcSDE Geodb writer, truncating the SQL Server table in 10.x geodatabaseVersioned Edit Session to feature class that is registered as versionedFME log claims success and that all writes were saved. No errors, warnings or anything indicating an issue in the log at all. The problem:Only even 1000 are written. For example, 9454 features result in that FME log displays all written successfully, but only 9000 features exist in the geodatabase. If i use cloner and increase the feature count to even 10 000 all features are saved. Any suggestions?

Citygml xsd fle as FME writer

Hi... I seek your assistance, sir/ma'am.I am currently trying to convert IFC to CityGML 3.0. In FME, only version CityGML 2.0 is available. I have found an example on GitHub that includes XSD files for each CityGML 3.0 feature (although it is still in draft phase). My question is, how do I incorporate these files into the FME write library? Your help is appreciated. Here is the GitHub link that contains the XSD files: https://github.com/tum-gis/ifc-to-citygml3/tree/master/xsds

Can we move the Temp folder location to a larger drive??

We are getting an error while running FFS writer: Failed to write to file 'C:\\Users\\use\\AppData\\Local\\Temp "Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file, and that sufficient disk space is available" This should be a simple merging of .SHP file (3221) into a single FeatureClass in a GDB. The Reader set to read .shp in Single Merged Feature Type. Got a GeometryValidator set to degenerate or Corrupt geometry "Edit". A Tester to get the read shapes and then the GDB Writer. We have and checked that the user is admin on the box and folders, so Think the issue room for the temp file. this is running on a Server where c:\\ only has OS on it and not much space left after that. So can we run in a way that clears the Temp location after so many record run, or can we move the Temp to a larger drive??

(FME 2020.0) HTTP Caller header does not work when giving it a FME Attribute

Hey, I am trying to create a workspace with a HTTP Caller, that needs a Bearer token. I use an earlier HTTP Caller to obtain the Bearer token with a login call. This is put into an attribute, which I then edit to add the phrase "bearer" infront of. After which I want to use this attribute as a header in the next HTTP Caller to do the call I'm interested it. This does not work, It gives me a error 401 Unauthorized, but if I copy and paste the bearer token into the header manually, it works. Anyone any idea why this happens?

INSPIRE validator problem

Hello, I have a problem with INSPIRE validator. I created a ETL schema in my FME Desktop environment according to INSPIRE theme of Protected Sites. So I've done it by applying all the technical guides from INSPIRE, and solved all my previous validation errors except this one: The dataset has 1 file(s) with errors for this assertion.XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': The file has 1 schema validation error(s).XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': 1:729: cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'gml:FeatureCollection'.When I use the Hale studio for transformation and get my GML, validation process goes smoothly, but with FME I have a problem. During my analysis I saw that in Hale Studio GML I have a longer <gml: FeatureCollection > tag in the xxsi:schemaLocation part. Here is the Hale xsi: schemaLocation: xsi:schemaLocation="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0 https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0/Prot

New warnings with FME 2023 cause translation error

Hello, I have just updated FME: 2022 -> 2023 (2023.0.2 (20230727 - Build 23338 - WIN64). Checking that this upgrade doesn't cause errors when running several important processes, I see this warning message in the log of one of them: POSTGRES Writer: Renamed user attribute 'attribute{0}.fme_data_type' to 'attribute{0}_fme_data_type' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and casePOSTGRES Writer: Renamed user attribute 'attribute{0}.name' to 'attribute{0}_name' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and case This message was absent with the previous version. The transformer concerned is a FeatureWriter whose parameters are shown below. It has two upstream branches: one for table schemas, the other for features. Adding all these entries to the log file slows down processing considerably and, when many features are processed, the file can even saturate the disk (up to 40GB!). I've temporarily deactivated t

ArcPro maximum and minimum supported versions?

Hi There,After a recent upgrade of ArcPro (to v 3.1.0) I am now seeing this notation in FME Desktop and FME Server logs....Current installed ArcGISPro version '3.1.0' is unsupported. Minimum supported version is '2.3.0', and maximum supported version is '3.0.0'....what does this mean exactly?...do I need to upgrade FME?...on Desktop it doesnt seem to make a difference (I can still successfully run operations), but now some Scheduled Services are failing in FME Server and I am wondering if this is the reason. Thank you

Qt6Gui_fme.dll crashes starting FME 2023 (workbench, data inspector, license manager)

I have installed FME form (2023.0.0.3) and am trying to run workbench or licensing assistant or any of the suite but I run up against the Qt6Gui crash. The articles in the FME community forum have mentioned that this has been a known issue and have suggested upgrading to the latest version to resolve this.Unfortunately at this time there is not a later version. After several reinstalls and deleting every FME folder I can find I still get the same error.To get around this I have reinstalled FME 2022.2.3 and workbench works as normal. Is anyone running into this issue with the latest version?Do I need to wait for the next release to resolve this?Has anyone had luck with replacing the dll to get around this? The below is a screenshot is what I am seeing:The only thing I can think of is that I was running the 2023 install while a 2022 workbench was running at the same time and locked the dll file. Thoughts?Michael.

Question of the Week: Running a workspace with Windows Scheduler

Today I cover a frequent issue: how to run FME from the command line, specifically with Windows Scheduler. Question of the WeekThis question was asked in Live Chat by a user with a problem with database connections and Windows Scheduler. Q) In my workspace I use a writer that connects to SQL Server via a SQL Server account. In Workbench, the workspace runs and data is inserted. But run through Windows Task Scheduler, it fails with SQL Server issues. I've set the username and password in the writer, but in the log file it appears to be not set! A) This type of issue appears quite often. In short: if a workspace works in Workbench, but fails in a different environment, it's 95% likely to be a permissions issue. Let's look at a few sticking points and - in particular - this scenario, which is harder because there's a database connection involved. Who Are You?The absolute number one issue when running a workspace from a command line is the account used to do that. It's important to realize

What could be the reason for a SQL Server Truncate to take so long? (FME 2022)

I recently upgraded to FME Server 2022. As I'm creating new workbenches for publishing or modify existing workbenches, I'm transitioning to Desktop 2022 as well.I have a process with three (3) identically configured Feature Writers (ESRI SDE/SQL Server) that first truncate three (3) tables and then insert into those tables. I have updated and republished this in 2022. When I try to run it in my new environment, it stalls at TRUNCATING one of the tables... literally sits there for almost 2 hours, then resumes. I should add that this is not a super large table - 150K records maybe. My understanding of TRUNCATE does not suggest this size would have an impact, nor have I seen this before. Nothing has changed about the database/table. Nor the Writer configurations or workbench "logic". What could be causing this hang-up? Has my Writer gone south?

SFTP Caller - Shows single character in attribute called untill i manually sort the column.

This is how the initial output from my ftpcaller looks like ( calling a csv to attribute)and this is how it looks like when i sort it by file contents.Any transformer that i use after calling the data uses the first screenshot, thereby inhibiting me from automating any process.I have to download to file, open and save it and then re add it to a second script to manipulate it and push it to AGOL ( which is my end goal)

Writing multiple Excel files to a single workbook with a seperate sheet for each xlsx file using a template

So I have a collection of excel files that I wish to write out to a single excel file. Wehn consolidating I need a seperate sheet for each excel file read, but want to use a template to style each sheet in the same way. When I do this the first sheet written is formatted correctly, but all subsequent sheets written do not have the sheet style of the first (it's just raw output). I've attached the writer parameters and properties, is there anything I should change to get this to work or is this just not an option? Oops sorry forgot to mention this is in FME Flow 2023.1.1.1 (actually it's the Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS, working on getting a proper licence!) in Windows 10 x64 edition.

Parsing floating license logs

I'm looking at some floating license logs for FME, hoping to build a reporting tool for it. What I've noticed is several cases where one user/machine checks out a number of licences in a short amount of time and check them back in after a while:I assume this is either the user starting multiple instances of one of the FME application on the same machine (or Workbench and Data Inspector) and/or using a WorkspaceRunner. Can anybody confirm that? And more importantly, does every checkout correspond to a checkin? I also assume that as long as there is at least one checkout active for a user/machine that counts as a concurrent license being used, correct?

Hello Community, I have a points dataset containing 17 records. Some at stacked at shared locations. Some are isolated in one location… I need to separate this into two different streams. Stream one: all records that are at shared locations (i.e: sharing an XY co-ordinate pair)… Stream two: all records that are the only records at that location… How is this achievable? Thanks,

Message Parameter Text Format

Hi,I was wondering if there is a way to format text that is used in the "Message" User Parameter in FME Form. There is no Text Editor available for the "Message Configuration" option and when I use the Parameter in a FME Flow App, line breaks are removed, although they show up when prompted in FME Form. Is there a way to keep line breaks?
