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

Hello Group, I'm wanting to see if I can can create lines from what may be well known binary (WKB) strings (e.g.: 0xE61000000114297C137101D7B2BFE65D8A76C0BF494030842DCBFFD3B2BF70EC7899C0BF4940). To be honest I'm not 100% certain that they are WKB. I have a csv containing these potential WKB values. The workspace is... Creator>FeatureReader (reads in the csv setting the field called 'sp_geography', which contains the WKB value to varchar>GeometryReplacer (with encoding as OGC Well Known Binary and the geometry source set to 'sp_geography'). When I run it all 171 records goi to the Rejected port. There's a curious blue message in the log:  "Invalid WKB encountered.... Last line repeated 170 times ..." This is odd as the WKD values in the csv are, as far as I can see, all unique.

I have read pretty much all the articles on getting arcpy working on FME, but somehow I keep getting the message that a compatible ArcGIS application could not be found. I have FME 2022.1 installed. ArcGIS Pro v2.9.5, which ships with Python 3.7. In the Navigator, Esri ArcGIS Compatibility is set to Esri ArcGIS Pro, and Python Compatibility to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+In the Options, Preferred Python Interpreter is set to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+. I also tried C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\envs\\arcgispro-py3\\python37.dll I have a 1-line Startup Python script: import os, but it still keeps giving me the same error: "ERROR : A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+'The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server. ...Program Terminating Notes:I also have ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1 with 64-

Hello all,I would like to know about the difference between the count of values of one column initially while reading and count of values of the same column after filtering. If difference between the count of values is same then ​we will send an email. so how can we achieve this in fme

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

Hello everybody I want to know is there a way to convert my 3D shapefile to a 3d tiles cesium ( I don't know if I should transformt it to citygml then 3d tiles cesium) and if there is a way is there a workspace to do so. Here is my shapefile

I have a workbench script that makes multiple ggplots (graphs) for end-user reports. The Rcaller works great in FME Server without error, but it will not export the plots. The output excel files export, but not the plots.

I would like to combine 2 datasets: one containing about 500 monument_id's and one with about 20 types with scores and remark fields that should be added to this monument_ids (to create a list of about 10.000 items).  As there is no attribute value to match (so FeatureJoiner or ReatureMerger doesn't work); can these somehow be combined based on predefined matching attribute names? Or what would be a good idea in this case? Thanks in advance!

Hello there are vertex at equal distance (0.100) but these are unnecessary, only one vertex in 1m is enough. How can I remove the vertex in between, I looked for vertex remover, but I think I am doing something wrong, can you help me please? Additional information: There are always 10 vertexes in 1m.

I'm trying to run a python shutdown script and get this error - "The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server" I've also tried calling the script from cmd line and get this in the engine log - "Thu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6   File "createaprx.py", line 9, in <module>Thu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6    import arcpyThu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6   File "C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\Resources\\ArcPy\\arcpy\\__init__.py", line 77, in <module>Thu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6    from arcpy.geoprocessing import gpThu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6   File "C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\Resources\\ArcPy\\arcpy\\geoprocessing\\__init__.py", line 14,

I am new to fme, I set up a processing chain to compare two shape files and I would like the output file which will be a renamed shape of the columns.for Example the file checked I have a column called depth_1 I would like the export ca to be depth_upstream.is this possible in fme ? 

Hi guys, I am fairly new in FME but have been working in a workflow and got stuck on something that might be simple solution for some of you. I need to be able of calculating the last calendar day of previous month from today's date. So today being 21/02/2023 my result should be 31/01/2023.  Can you please advise how I can do this ? I have been really struggling to do this and have attempted DateTime Calculator transformer.

Hi, How can I give 3d polygons the height of a base. The ground plane I created with the PointCloudSurfaceBuilder. The 3d Polygons have a z-axis with a value of 0.See the image, the polygons lie above the base and disappear below it.

Hi There, So I am using the: safe.microsoft-sharepoint.SharePointOnlineConnector to download and create .xlsx files in my organization's SharePoint site-- and this transformer is awesome save for one fatal problem...the problem is that the connector only appears to be able to Download or Upload/Overwrite files--but it can not Update existing documents at SharePoint. And the problem is that if a user has the .xlsx document open (in a browser session) the Upload will terminate / fail until all users have closed out of their browser sessions viewing the document. My question: is there a way to Update documents at SharePoint that are being viewed, or is Overwriting the only option. And if the latter is the case, is there a way to terminate all open user sessions of the document at Sharepoint so that the new version can overwrite the old version...Otherwise this transformer, great as it is, is somewhat useless. Any thoughts on this issue, or is it just another "Curse you Bill&q

I am trying to automate creation of highway markers along a highway line feature class. I have been able to create the points along the highways at the correct interval (Using the DistanceMarker transformer) but I can't figure out how to apply the correct distance along that line (in Kms) to the newly created points. Ie. 2km, 4km, 6km, etc. in an attribute for the new point features.

I have one feature, which has two geometry points with text location. I only need one of them. Is there a possibility in FME to delete every geometry, except one?

Hello,As the question group suggest I am new to FME. ATM am doing some test with a .LAZ dataset (825 tiles about 60km X 60km)1-What I want to do is read in the folder were the LAZ files are and read in a shape file (the 60x60km box). 2-clipper, to only use the LAZ tiles that are within my polygon.3-RasterDemGenerator to create the raster in this case a DSM because there is no filter).4-write to .TIFThe main problem here is processing time. I am new but I feel I need to do something about the processing time so I looked up what I can do about it.1 Tiling. If I understand correctly, I can create 7 workers from a main project. So, in my case dividing this project in 2x2 or 4x4 (3x3 would already take 2 runs so logically 4x4 would be my next choice).2 parallel processing. I tested https://community.safe.com/s/article/parallel-processing this but even on extreme I only see 2 FME Object Worker EXE in my task manager.I have a Esri data interoperability license (2x).

When publishing a workbench to FME Server under my username and configuring it as an automation or schedule, what is the best practice as every time my username requires a password change the automations/schedules fail. Then one has to go in and modify the connections to update them so it will accept the new password. We are using AzureAD.

I have a StatisticsCalculator that determines the min and max time values in a data set. If I feed the time.min and time.max into a TestFilter to filter out values from another table which are outside of the time.min and time.max range, the filter doesn't filter properly but if I use the actual time value is does. What do I need to do to get the TestFilter to work with the FeatureAttribute?

I'm trying to open my workbench, the .fmw, but when it opens it shows an empty canvas. The workbench (.fmw) is 3.5 mb, the recovery file is empty. It was made with FME Workbench 2019.2.  I've been working days and weeks on the workbench, and foolish enough, my last 'handmade' backup is a week old.....  Is there a way to recover the .fmw file?  

Hello, I am currently trying to process an output from the JSONformatter that has the below structure: name_1:"value_1",name_2:"value_2",name_3:"value_3", etc. The output I want to achieve is a feature set as per the below: name_1 name_2 (as columns)value_1 value_2 (as values) I am able to achieve it to an extent using the JSONFragmenter, but this seems to work only for 1 feature (i.e. name_1). I have tried to use the "+" as explained in the documentation but this instead produces a second row, rather than a 2nd column. May I ask for your advice please? Thank you, George
