Hi, the following problem: I want to update attributes of a shape file. To do this, I first read them in using a reader (regardless of whether it is a "shapefile reader" or a FeatureReader transformer), update them and then overwrite them using a writer. When I execute the Workbench step by step, everything works. If I run all steps at once, I get the error message SHAPEFILE writer: Shapefile writer: Failed to write to file '<pathToFile>\\Grid.dbf'. Please ensure that the file is not open by FME or another process, you have sufficient privileges to write this file, and that sufficient disk space is available. It looks like the reader is blocking the .dbf file. Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed?

Hi FME Community,Has anyone run into this odd issue? FME Workbench 2022.2.1 (FME Python 3.10+).I did have issues installing transformers from FME Hub within FME Workbench, though it now seems to have resolved itself. (Note: removed sensitive but otherwise inconsequential information)Initially FME would throw an error similar to: An error occurred while installing Python package with 'pip install --force-reinstall --no-deps --no-index --find-links C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Packages\22776-win64\PackageFiles\safe.emailer\python --target C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Packages\22776-win64\python\safe.emailer --upgrade --no-compile fme-emailer' : Process crashed. An error occurred while installing package 'C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Packages\22776-win64\PackageFiles\safe.emailer'Sadly FME isn't more descriptive than this. Feedback for FME Devs: could FME print out the Python traceback when transformer instal

 Hi,I am a beginner on FME and I have some difficulties.I would like to extract from my LiDAR point cloud, the local maximum elevation with the x and y coordinates of each building footprint.I have as input :- a LiDAR point cloud- the footprint of each building in format shp.As output, I would like to have a .txt file with the maximum z of each point as well as the x and y coordinates of the maximum, all in the same .txt file.I was able to extract the LiDAR points for each building footprint using the Clipper tool.Then I used the PointCloudStatisticsCalculator tool.I get my zmax for each building as a table. But I can't get them together in one .txt file with x and y coordinates.Would you have an idea to solve my problem?Thanks in advance.

I am experimenting with a new workbench that has python startup and shutdown scripts. Everything seems to be running successfully. I'm using FME 2021 as I need 32-bit capabilities for ESRI. After the workbench is done, I'm calling a python script that runs a series of SQL queries. The script finishes and FME says "Translation was SUCCESSFUL". However, the workbench is still running and I have to manually click the Stop button. Any thoughts?

I want to translate a dataset from shp to gpkgThere is a id field in attribute table in shp file. I added the transformer "attributeRenamer" to rename "id" to "shp_id"It is success on 2022.0.2 versionWe can't see shp_id field in gpkg and the value in id field is keptBut in 2022.2.3 vesrionIt throw the error as 627 2023-2-28 13:03:03 | OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: For feature type 'd_y_n40', primary key attribute 'id' has unsupported type 'mediumint'. Primary key must have type 'int,PrimaryKey' Is any way can I fix it?Thanks

Greetings,I am getting thousands of warnings, and would like to understand more about them. Let's take these two for example and go from there. Can someone help explain what these warnings are and how to correct them?Also, are these warning slowing the run time down? The run is quite slow, and it's unclear to me exactly why.Thank you,TylerFME Workbench 2022.1 

I am trying to read cell A1 from an Excel file but FME Desktop seems to have a problem with that cell for any Excel. Example 1 (fail): Example 2 (success with other cell): What is happening with cell A1? Why can't I read it like the rest of the cells? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I have 64-bit FME installed and want to read ArcFM'ised ArcSDE data. I have ArcGIS Pro v2.8 on the same machine and 64-bit Oracle client as well. I was able to generate the .SDE connection file in Pro. However using the same .SDE file, I am not able to view the feature classes in FME. I am constantly getting the following error message "Could not open Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is -2147216072. The error message from ArcObjects is {Underlying DBMS error[Unknown error No extended error.]}" We also have ArcFm ObjectReader for ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1a installed as well. What could be the possible reason ?

Hello,We are slowly getting new users into using FME and building a catalogue of production level FME Workbenches . As a result, we need to start properly documenting them beyond bookmarks and annotations. I am looking for a template, advice or best practice. Things like description, reader/writers, data sources, FME Server components.  Many Thanks, David

Dear members of the FME community, I am currently facing an issue with my FME workbench 2020, which is running on FME Server 2020. The workbench includes an Excel Writer (latest version) that fans out data into multiple sheets within a single Excel file. This process has been functioning well on a weekly basis for the past two years on FME Server 2020. However, when I attempted to run the same workbench on FME Server 2022, the output was split into two Excel files instead of one, with the data divided between them. Additionally, the file naming convention in FME Server 2022 has changed, with the file name split into two halves, one for each file. For example, in FME Server 2020, the correct file name for the output would be "20230101_filename.xlsx." However, on FME Server 2022, the file name has been split into two parts, resulting in two separate files named "20230101_.xlsx" and "20230101_filename.xlsx." I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or poten
