Hello,I have an editable view in PostGIS (PostgreSQL) and I'm trying to write in it with FME.For that, I've:Added my view from a PostGIS reader (to have its structure - and confirm it exists)Duplicated this view in a new PostGIS writer (to keep its structure)Set the table handling as `Use existing`Connected a worflow to end in my viewBut when I run the workspace, I'm facing this error:POSTGIS Writer: Table 'xxx.yyy' does not exist. Please check the Table Name specified, or modify the Table Handling value under Format ParametersSo my question is: is it possible to write in an editable view?For the record, I can write in my view with another client (QGIS) with the same credentials.Thanks for any input.Rémi

How to expose raster attribute values

I have a land cover raster with values that can be seen in ArcGIS Pro when looking at the raster's attribute table. When bringing this raster into FME using the "Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset)" Reader, the raster is brought in with no attribute values (see screenshot). Looking for help with bringing the raster into FME so that the attribute records will be populated with the raster's values shown in the ArcGIS attribute table? A smaller example raster that was clipped from the larger raster can be found at http://robot.konturlabs.com/temp/rasters_temp.gdb.zip Thanks!

Question of the Week: Can I recover an FME Server admin password if I forget it?

Question of the WeekThis question was asked in Live Chat this week, but to be fair it has come up several times from various users...Q) I've forgotten the password to the admin account on our FME Server. Is there a way to recover it? A) In short, no! But because the FME Server Support team has seen an increasing number of cases recently where a customer is unable to log in because of a forgotten password, I think it's worth outlining what the options are at this point, and how to avoid getting here in the first place!What's the Default Admin Password?Up until recent FMEs, the default administrator account used to be admin/admin. You can see why we felt that wasn't a good choice, because it's so easy to guess.So now - although the default is still admin/admin - you are forced to change it when logging in for the first time. The username remains admin, but the password becomes one of your own devising.I've Forgotten the Admin Password - Now What?So at a later date

Is there any FME Python API for 3D Reprojection?

I tried the FMEFeature.reproject(coordSys) method but it can do only 2D reprojection. I want to do reprojection using Python only not with any transformer like EsriReprojector or CSmap.

Flow Workspace App 'Browse Resources' is broken

Since updating our server to the newest version of FME Flow, the "Browse Resources" button is broken on workspace apps. Users can only upload their own temporary files. Uploading files is a functional workaround, but it is much slower than selecting a file from the network drive mounted on the server. I have verified that both my user account and the app have permission on the resource. For the app I have given List and View permissions to the folder. Any recommendations?

Child process is stuck on queue when using FMEServerJobSubmitter

I have a batch workspace that spawns multiple child workspaces using four separate FMEServerJobsubmitters. I have two engines in FME FLow but the other engine is occupied with other processes so I'm able to use only one engine. As i understood, if i set Wait for jobs to complete to "Yes" and Submit Jobs "In Sequence", FME Flow should spawn a sub-engine that will run the child workflows and once they are ready it will continue the parent process. This is the behaviour that I would need because I only want to continue parent workflow when all the child processes are successful. However, with this setup the first child process enters queue and never starts. It also shows in the parent log file that the submit was successful, but it ends up into queue. I have separate queues for the two engines and both the parent process and the child process are tied to engine2 running in queue2 so it should interfere with the other engine and queue. However, it seems that the par

Curious incident using SQL Server - huge log file as a result

Hi.I just had a job on our FME server 2022.2.2 go haywire.When reading from one or more database tables, it suddenly spews out a _lot_ of error messages, repeating the same two lines from line 319 to line 865997 (on page 1734):Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: An internal error has occurred. Please visit http://www.safe.com/supportMicrosoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Failed to parse datetime, attribute set as nullWhat gives ? Should I be concerned ?I've occasionally encountered huge log files before, but haven't had any idea why. Next time I'll see if it's the same issue.The job took several minutes (as opposed to normally a handful of seconds) to finish, which is not good.Cheers.

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.

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
