Issues passing JSON to a webhook via AJAX HTTP POST request

Hello again everyone, I have a question for anybody who's worked with passing JSON data in the body of a POST request for a webhook. I am working with a developer on a script to call FME server from an outside application and pass the needed JSON data in the body. She is using an AJAX script that looks somewhat like this: $.ajax({        url: <my server url with webhook token>,        method: 'POST',        data: {"A":"1",         "B":"2",        "C":"3",           },        dataType: "json",        success: function (response) {                             alert(JSON.stringify(response));                     },               error: function(data, errorThrown){                             alert('request failed :'+errorThrown);                             //document.getElementById("response").innerHTML="Failed"+errorThrown;             } }); Here's the thing: I have a

Multiple PDF Fanout and pdf_name

I have pdfs with multiple pagesi have to split them up by a certain textstring (e.g. SS 66,16)This textstring is always nearly on the same coordinate on the page, so i can isolate them and write the text in a new attribute but how can i fanout them that i have all content right from one page (e.g. pdf_page_number 2) and the pdf is named after that textstring (SS 66,16.pdf) Greetz and cheers Franco

How can multipoints read from FME in the writer plugin

We have an IFMEFeature from type FME_GEOM_AGGREGATE.The window "Feature Information" in FME Desktop displays the IFMEMultipoint property with 299 parts of IFMEPoint.How can we get these multipoints in the writer plugin? If we call feature->numCoordinates() we got 598 but if we call numParts () or numVertices() we got the correct number of 299.And if we call feature->getAllCoordinates() we got a list of 598 coordinates, but only 299 of these are correct and the other ones consists of a point with coordinates (1, 1, 0). Where does this point (1,1,0) come from?The list of coordinates starts with1,1,0valid point1,1,0valid Point1,1,0....

Is there a geodatabase format attribute for the "Annotation created with new features" annotation feature class attribute, and, if so, what is it and how can I get FME to read it?

I need to be able to read an existing geodatabase annotation feature class (regardless of whether it is populated or not) and get a value for the "Annotation created with new features" annotation feature class attribute. Is there a corresponding FME geodatabase format attribute? If there is, would FME properly set the geodatabase attribute if I used that format attribute on a schema feauture used to build a geodatabase?

How do I make a one-to-many join in FME?

I did a spatial join of two AGOL layers, one is a strip map and the other is parcel data with owner info. I merged the two and created a table with the owner information and its respective page number. Some parcels are on more than one page, however, and I'm trying to make a table that includes these records and doesn't just omit them (there should be an individual record for each parcel and every page it shows up on). I've been trying to use the Spatial Relator with Generate List checked, followed by a List Exploder but it is not working. Does anyone know of a better way to do this? Edit: There is no common attribute between the two layers.

WorkspaceRunner fails if variable path is used

I try to run diffrent workspaces with a WorkspaceRunner. It works with a fullpath but not if I use a AttributeValue or a UserParameter fed by a pathReader. The ErrorMessage contains "An error occurred while evaluating a test parameter: @Tcl2 -- failed to evaluate expression `WorkspaceRunner ..." I run it on Windows 10 with FME 2022.1. I already added FME_Home to PATH environment. With FME 2019.2.x it worked fine. An Example Workspace is provided.

Change Reprojector Parameter with WorkspaceRunner

Hello, I am pretty new to all of this, so I am not even sure in which category to post my question. I have created a small FME Workspace containing a Reprojector. Now I want to include this tool into a Python Script already containing different other functions, and it should be possible to select which data to transform as well as the coordinate systems used. I tried to use the FMEWorkspaceRunner(), but it is only possible to state the Source and Destination Dataset, not to use the FMEReprojector.setCoordinateSystems() funktion. The same goes for calling the workspace over the command prompt with fme.exe it only accepts parameters for source and destination. As the workspace contains some other elements as well I also want to use the existing workspace and not to create reader, writer and all fmeobjects in the python skript every time the function is called.

Alternatives to AttributeManager, other Transformers with Conditional Statements

I am using AttributeManager to write a Conditional Statement. I was wondering what other Transformers can I use that allow for Conditional Statements? I can achieve what I want using AttributeManager, as shown here. But, I am looking for alternatives other than AttributeManager to help me hone my FME skills.

How to turn on "inline inspector"?

I was watching the  OpenAI GPT-3 seminar the other day and the presenters had some magic turned on that allowed them to inspect transformers without attaching the usual inspectors. See image for a better explanation of what I am after. How do I turn on this feature/s?

Hi! I have a large workspace where I need to update a table with a status message. This means that I need to update the tables status even if no features are routed to the feature writer.

Fme serverdesktop version: 2022.1 But if no features reach the writer then I get no summary output. In what way can I solve this dilemma?  The image I provided is not of the workspace itself, but it shows the problem.

Not enough memory to parse expression

Hello everyone. We are experiencing some difficulties while running the workbench on the FME server. It had been working fine for a few years, but we are now experiencing these issues on a regular basis... Is it due to a memory problem? When I checked the server memory, I found that a maximum of 40% was occupied by RAM and 4% by CPU. What constitutes a problem and how to resolve it? Sometimes resubmitting the job in FME Server or restarting the FME server and running the job will produce positive results, but not always...

Writing to an FTP with FME Desktop

Active Directory Issue: Authenticating as guest from FME Workbench instead of Windows user. FME 2022

Hi there, I'm having an issue with an Active Directory connection after completing an upgrade to FME 2022. In the newly upgraded version of FME, when creating a Web Connection from FME Desktop to FME Server the correct permissions are not being assigned.  Choosing 'Windows Credentials' I can make a connection successfully, however I can only see the Samples repository. I can not publish if I click through the wizard. Digging deeper, it appears as though when choosing Windows Credentials, rather than passing through my logged-in user, I am authenticating as 'guest' - the built-in user. I have tested this by disabling that user from the FME Server UI, and the connection can no longer be made. There are no issues using the Windows Credentials via the browser, and interestingly no issues when making a Web Connection from an older version of FME Desktop, so I am confident that the AD setup with FME Server is ok. Is there anything new in the latest builds of FME Desktop t

Retrieve Texture Name

I have FBX files with various textured 3D objects.The FBX includes file names for these texture files, eg. "textures\\asphalt2.jpg" and when FME loads the FBX, those textures are created as local JPG files in a folder .fbm. Essentially I need the texture name (filename) within FME. I can pull the individual textures as rasters as per the attached, but they dont have a name, specifically the filename. The closest I can find is the ShareItemID for each texture. How can I link the SharedItemID to the texture filename? Example attached.

I wonder why 2 fields out of 7 fields in total become empty when using writer, when there is information in the two fields when I am looking in the last transformer before writern.

I get the data from two different databases, which contain a point layer, and a surface layer, I combine the two layers using a transformer called FeatureMerger, and it works fine. I write the result to a third database, where the layer is a surface layer. All the fields with data that I want are included, but when I send the data to an sde database in the writer, information is missing in two fields. In the writer, data type = char is set. The information that is missing is data type = text, the number of characters is correct when I look in the writer. What is it that is wrong? Why doesn't the information that is in the two fields come along?

How to create clusters (as polygons) from points based on a few criteria?

Hi FME Users, I have a list of points with coordinates and a lot of attributes. Based on this dataset I need to create (different size) polygon clusters, which depend on the criteria - such as distance from competition points, cluster density, number of POI in this cluster, and others.  Firstly I filtered data based on some criteria (eg. types of points, etc). Then I used NeighborFinder to find and filter these points which are too close to competition points (distance is defined by users as a parameter). But I am not sure how to create the polygon clusters.  I thought about using HexagonSample (custom transformer), NeighborhoodAggregator, or H3HexagonalIndexer. But unfortunately without any successful results. Maybe, someone from you had a similar task and could suggest how to approach this problem? Any tips or ideas from all of you will be very helpful! I am working on FME 2022.0, so it seems to me that I cannot use PointClusterer from FME Hub (the wrong Python version). Thanks in ad
