Hi, I am reading an Oracle spatial table (points) and i only want to write it to AGOL. I have 17624 records in the source. When the feature layer is created I only have 12.000 records. Or with another try I have 10.000 records. The table of the feature layer is also created and I see the atributes. In AGOL you get a thumbnail wich basically shows what you have created. That turns white so it looks like there is no geometry. When I open the layer the map is zooming to the right extend but also no points to view. i tried written the feature layer again with only one attribute in it. That went well. How can I solve this issue.FME desktop 2022.2.0.0. (build 22765)

I have a workspace that reads data from a long list of DWG files and writes specific features to a SHP file. The status the drawings could be anything, including corrupt so I have Rejected Feature Handling set to Continue Translation. When the workspace runs, I can see in the log that some DWG files are skipped for various reasons. A new problem occurs when it hits the attached DWG file. It is a Civil3d file and the log shows that FME finds a resource to read it, but then it just sits there and nothing happens for a few minutes until I get an error.  For now I have deleted the file from the list, but it would be better if the workspace would simply skip it and go on to the next file. How do I do this?

I am trying to set up a database connection to my Snowflake 30-day free trial account. The connection parameters are shown below. When I test the connection, it takes a long time (about 5 minutes), and then get a Read timeout error as shown below. I have no problem login to Snowflake web console using https://IN17188.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com. I use the account "IN17188.us-east-2.aws" in the FME database connection Account Name parameter. I use FME Desktop 2021.1.1. Anybody experienced this issue? I just try to follow the FME - Snowflake tutorial - https://www.safe.com/training/recorded/connect-data-even-geospatial-snowflake/ net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeSQLException: JDBC driver encountered communication error. Message: Exception encountered for HTTP request: Connect to IN17188.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com:443 [IN17188.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com/3.20.44.68, IN17188.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com/13.58.248.132, IN17188.us-east-2.aws.s

Hi. I'm trying to use FME to calculate the distance between a point on the perimeter of a polygon and another point nearby (within 10 miles). I'm using the latitude and longitude coordinate system but I need distances in miles and have not gotten very far on my own. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm already using NeighborFinder but can't seem to get the distances right. Thank you.

Hello FME Community,I have a shapefile that contains an ID column. the ID must be unique, but I have data records that have come twice.Only ID is the same and other columns are different.with DuplicateFilter I filter Duplicate. so I get features that came twice. I would like to know that which feature with which feature have the same ID.Thanks in advance for your help.

I know the possibilities of headers, italics and bold in creating the workspace app, however I was thinking it would be also nice to give some text different colors. I was trying the markup code from the following stackoverflow link, however the text didn't appear in color on the workspace app :(. So I was wondering whether it's possible to style text in color in the workspace app.  I tried the following methods:<span style="color:blue">some *blue* text</span>.$\\color{color-code}{your-text-here}$ 

i have 4 reader+writer pairs. after the last reader-writer pair runs and completes, how do i get sqlexecutor to run only after the last pairing has completed?

Hello,I have a point dataset and I want to make an algorithm that operates like this:(1) Select a point;(2) Remove all surrounding points within a distance, entered as a fixed parameter (eventually this can be done using a bufferer + spatial filter);(3) Store the first initial point in a new dataset and repeat the process for the remaining dataset from step (2) to obtain a second point that will be stored with the first one and so onThe final result is to obtain a point dataset where no distance below a threshold exist ALONG WITH preserving the maximum number possible of pointsThank you very much in advance ! 

Hello all I have a question regarding readers when used with possible empty directories and resulting error messages. In a FME workbench, a CSV reader reads all CSV files within a directory and then processes them. If one or more CSV files are present in the defined folder, the Workbench works perfectly. However, if there are no CSV files in the folder at the time of execution, an ERROR is issued:ERROR |CSV reader: Failed to open file '\\\\Auto-Import\\**\\*.csv' for reading. Please ensure that the file exists and you have sufficient privileges to read it. With the FME Desktop version 2019.2 that we are currently still using, I was able to set the Workbench to continue running even if an error occurred. However, this is certainly not the most ideal solution. Especially it is difficult to detect actual error messages in the log files.The Workbench is automatically executed every hour by the task scheduler. Another problem is that the CSV Reader is part of a Workbench that is sup

It seems that any file with a # in the filename won't download when using the SharePoint online connector transformer. I want to download using the _fullpath method.  Simply --> if the filename is FOO_1 it works. If it's FOO#1 it doesn't. The rejection code is SHAREPOINT_ERROR , the URL it's trying to DL is:SharepointOnlineConnector: Error making request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0//sites/ac[HIDDEN]%20November%20#4.jpg: The resource could not be found.Is there any way to get around this? I have tried the URL ENCODER and STRING REPLACER transformers to try and manually encode the # symbol but it doesn't like this. Presumably because it's trying to encode it "again" I can tell my users to stop using a # symbol in the filename but would rather solve it more elegantly and retain the original name.  Link to transformer:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/sharepointonlineconnector-pkg.htm

Trying to automate some ArcGIS Server monitoring and am struggling to get a token using HTTP Caller. I think there may be a bug on the ESRI end (surprise!). But before I post on their forum, I wanted to pin the FME world. I'm making a POST to here:myserver.domain:6443/arcgis/admin/generateTokenwhich is the same place I go for manually obtaining a token. As query parameters I have:client : requestipf : json as Headers:Content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded Accept : text/plainI have tried both putting username/password in Body and Query. Neither works. If I grab a token manually and pass it in the HTTP Caller as parameter, I have no trouble making a connection to the same URL. Has anyone gotten this to work, or has a clue where I'm going off course? Thanks

In preparation for publishing and running a script on Fme Server, Iam writing the pathnames as follow in fme dekstop for the seed and cell files. The cell file is not red, while on the other hand the filename is not recognized for the seed file.I am not quite sure why that is the case. In the normal writer of v8 this doesn't occur, but then I face other problems in terms undefined macro. The problems don't occur when I use hard pathnames, but then they are not useful when I publish the script to FME server

Hi everyone, I want to use an API via the HTTPCaller. The authentication is done via an API token. Is there a way to securely store the API token like the username / password combination within a Web Connection? We place our created FME Workspaces in a git repo and don't want to put any authentication data there .  Thanks for your answers in advance. :-)Peter

It's been a while since I posted but I am doing something different and after spending some time looking in the forums for a solution, I thought I would just post it.  It's probably something simple, but I have limited experience with FME. I downloaded a GPX file from my bike computer and want to do some data processing on it, but when I view the file in FME Inspector, I am missing the "power" attribute which appears in the GPS as shown below.     <trkpt lat="43.7513380" lon="-80.5606200">    <ele>335.6</ele>    <time>2023-01-07T13:02:24Z</time>    <extensions>     <power>36</power>     <gpxtpx:TrackPointExtension>      <gpxtpx:atemp>20</gpxtpx:atemp>      <gpxtpx:hr>89</gpxtpx:hr>      <gpxtpx:cad>51</gpxtpx:cad>     </gpxtpx:TrackPointExtension>    </extensions>   </trkpt>I do get the time, temperature, hr and cad, but not <power>.I expect it has something to with the fac

I used the 2021 fme workbench emailer. The version from 2021 was functional. It is currently not functioning in the 2022 version. It displays an error message that reads, "No module called Chardet." The 2022 version had to be deleted, and I had to return to the 2021 desktop.

Hi, It's not entirely clear whether this has been solved or not already. I'm using FME 2022.1. I have a portal feature service with has jpegs as attachments. I want to read the exif metadata from the blobs. jpeg_exif_gpslatitude jpeg_exif_gpslongitude jpeg_exif_gpsimgdirection If I use the RasterReplacer method I lose all exif metadata. 

I can read tables from salesforce without an issue so it's probably not a credentials problem. But I am trying to write a record from excel to a table in salesforce and I am getting a 400 error. The error messages are pretty vague, only that it fails to write and that the Create Job Must be a POST. Any idea what would cause this issue? Do I have too few fields in the table that would otherwise be required?  Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request' from [salesforce instance here]Salesforce: HTTP 400SALESFORCE writer: A fatal error has occurred.

In QGIS there is a tool to create channel networks across a LiDAR surface. Is there a similar tool or process in FME?

Hello everyone.I have a problem with writing an SDE database that sits on top of postgis DB.I manage to connect in the FME to the database both from the postgis / postgres readers and from the sde reader.I can read the data, the problem is that I can not write properly.I want to update the database, and no matter what I do, I do not see the changes in th database.It is divided into two parts:When I write directly to postgis, I have a lot of warnings, but I was told that Total Features Written 1As it should be.But in practice I do not see the changes in the database at all!And when I write down to sde, it gives me lots of Errors, but Total Features Written                            1 as it should be,but still no change in the DB.I tried every possible variation in feature operation, insert, update- and nothing changed.Only when I did an experiment with delete, it managed to delete the features for some reason.Does anyone have an idea how to overcome this and write directly to the datab
