Hello Group, I'm experimenting with WorkspaceRunner. I've noticed that when I run a workspace via WorkspaceRunner the workspace itself completes far faster than if I ran the workspace directly. For example I have one workspace that processes around 20 heavy datasets and usually takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. But via WorkspaceRunner it takes just seconds. Or am I just misunderstanding WoprkspaceRunner. Is it actually the case that WorkspaceRunner itself completes quickly but the actual workspace/s it has fired off continues independently and takes just as long as if running directly?  Thanks,Stuart  

A popup(FME has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program) occurs and then after clicking Close. I see "Error running translation." in translation log. No clues about what would have gone wrong. How to debug these kinds of issues. 

I will like to automate my weekly ftp download. Mapinfo reader example url (as zip with multiple mapinfo files): ftp:// ftp.data.com/Geodata_202103159999 .zip  'Geodata_' is always there, '20210315' is the data that changes (every monday when data is downloaded) '9999.zip' is always there  In my logik the easiest would be ftp://ftp.data.com/Geodata_*.zip But it doesnt work. 'Geodata_' must be there can be multiple zip files on the server.  Any suggestions on this problem?

I would like to download all shakemap files. I can download one based on event ID but how do I download all of them. I have specified a folder for them to download to but I have tried a few combinations to get all of the files to download however no success. So the 2022p955929 could change and there are many zip files to http://shakinglayer.geonet.org.nz/api/v1/events/2022p955929/latest.zip I have tried this and the $ sign but they don't workhttp://shakinglayer.geonet.org.nz/api/v1/events/*/latest.zip

Hi, I have two lines. One original one, and a generalised version of it.  Is there a way that I can compare the two so I can see if there are any major spatial differences? I want to look for error locations that I need to fix before I smooth again. For example a deviation of over 0.1m between lines Any help would be great Thanks  

For example: If one resource is working on Task A, he wants to add comments/updates on work progress, so that the next resource who will picks up that same task is aware that someone is working on Task A and picks up another Task B to work on. (These notes/ comments should be displayed in ESRI Dashboard)

Hi, I'm trying to do two things. Firstly, trying to add GDA 2020 zone 56 Australian Height Datum (AHD) to las files that currently have no projection. Second, trying to add GDA 2020 zone 56 ellipsoid (GRS 1980) height to las files that currently have no projection. I'm able to reproject each las files using the reprojector functions, but this is for the horizontal coordinate systems not vertical height. Is there a way to add AHD and ellipsoid heights to the las files within FME? Thank you for your time

Hi All,I've been having a lot of issues trying to get code execution on FME server via System Callers. Been through every forum post about this without success. I've attached a workspace that I'm using to create BAT files and run them with System Caller. SystemCaller 1 and 2 will run on desktop, but not on the server.The server log shows:Failed to Execute `"C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\engineresults\\b80d9262-f6b1-4c81-8f97-a505f68c95b2\\TauDEM_Run01.bat"'Failed to Execute `"C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\system\\temp\\engineresults\\b80d9262-f6b1-4c81-8f97-a505f68c95b2\\TauDEM_Run01.bat" abc'SystemCaller 3 and 4 will fail on desktop and server. At this point i'd be really keen for a workflow that Bypasses the System Caller. I'm really happy with the BAT file being created, but executing it on the FME server is proving way too hard.Maybe a python script that can Call the BAT?

Is this a known bug? Is the only way to fix this to upgrade FME Server?

We have 14 units of incremental license, but we don't know, how we can use it. Can you tell us if this license requires Flexnet, or should we activate it in another way? Please let me know which solution for this type of license would be appropriate?

Hi, Using a standard browser there is no problem using Mapillary API and navigating to: https://www.mapillary.com/connect?client_id=XXXAfter submitting my credentials there is a redirect that gives a code in the url: https://localhost/?code=XXX Using the httpcaller I get a annoying problem that I only get a http status code 200 and a response body saying that I need to use different browser. I am using a web connection that would deal with authentication. Any ideas? The documentation is here:https://www.mapillary.com/developer/api-documentation?locale=en_US#authentication

Hi I was trying to use ArcGISONLINE Connector transformer to connect my services available within this account and the admin account also.. I was trying to login , after providing the username and password , Fme is reverting back to login page again  May i know , what might be the error

I want to extract specific lines from a log file, based on an regex. However, instead of getting a whole line as match returned, or even better a list of matches, I am getting <null> returned. What I want from the log file are all the warnings. I used an AttributManager and set the Attribute Value for the new attribute to @SubstringRegularExpression(@Value(_log_attr),^.*\|WARN\s{2}\|.*$,0,0,5)The last parameter is already misleading, since I usually do not have an idea of how many warnings there might be in an arbitrary log file, but for the sake of my test it would work.I would expect that the first match (out of 5) is returned. Ideally, a startIdx of -1 would give me the last of the five matches, but that doesn't work either. For the fun of it I was testing the same expression within a StringSearcher and here, there is a match. However, the attribute containing the matched result, who is supposed to return "the portion of the original search string that matched the regular expr

Hello, I was using a HTTP caller with a web connection fine on FME Desktop and Server - This was running fine on a daily schedule. I then realized that the HTTP caller needed to run in a loop so I got it working on both Desktop and server fine. The issue is, the workbench will only work for one day on the server, and then it returns a '401 Unauthorized' the next day. I find that if I re-publish the web connection, the workbench runs fine......until the next day. Does anyone know if this is a glitch or if there is some work around? The workbench was previously running fine until I added the loop and there hasn't been any changes to web connection each time I publish Any help is welcome!  Many thanks, Sam

I have a lot of LAZ files and generate a couple of polylines in ArcGIS. for these polylines I need to extract the points classified as 'ground' from the LAZ files.What transformer allows me to do that, and how to deal with polylines intersecting with several LAZ files?

Hi.I am wanting to utilize a webhook to kick off a process and have set up a sample site based on Send Source Data to FME Server with HTTP POST (safe.com).This example uses a text file to kick off the process but I am wanting to use the webhook URL with a parameter (key field). Is this possible? If so, what would I use as the initiator of the workspace and how would I pull in the parameter?  Any help would be most welcome! 

I'm trying to create an xml document where part of the information in the comment is coming from an attribute. However in the XMLTemplater everything within a comment is output untouched, including {fme:get-attribute("_comment")}. Thoughts on how to work around this?Attached is a sample workspace demonstrating the issue. Build 2022.0 If I create an attribute in advance: <!-- comment should resolve attribute @Value(_creation_instance)--> and use {fme:get-attribute("_comment")},then the braces are replaced with &ly; and >.If I use {fme:get-xml-attribute("_comment")},there are some xml parsing warnings:XMLTemplater (XMLTemplaterFactory): The following error occurred near line 1, column 51 of the query:XMLTemplater (XMLTemplaterFactory): invalid content passed to fn:parse-xml(): loader parsing error: Extra content at the end of the documentand the resultant xml does not contain the comment at all.

Hello!  I'm trying to implement Otsu's method of image thresholding on an incoming raster, using the PythonCaller transformer.  I  have the following code block in the PythonCaller parameters, although my Python isn't great, so there may well be issues with it:import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport numpy as npclass OtsuThreshold(object):    def __init__(self):        pass    def input(self, feature):        #implement Otsu thresholding in native Python with numpy        #get the image from the feature        image = feature.getAttribute('image')        #compute the histogram of the image, then find the peak of the histogram         hist = np.histogram(image, bins=256, range=(0, 256))                maxVal = np.max(hist[0])        maxLoc = np.argmax(hist[0])        #perform Otsu thresholding        T = maxLoc        thresh = np.where(image > T, 255, 0)        #set the attribute value        feature.setAttribute('image', thresh)        #pass the feature on to the next transformer        se

This is probably very trivial topic but I cannot get the correct result from this: @ReplaceString(@Value(ATTRIBUTE),,,.) So idea would be to change e.g input value 1,6 to 1.6. Or should I change some FME attribute value to have decimal separator as . instead of , ? EDIT:I get it working by this workaround. Maybe there's is some fancier solution

Hi, I have 2 lines and they have real elevation value (z value). I want to add lines which exaclty middle of 2 lines. Also the new line should has actual z value . ( average z of 2 lines). How can I do?

My workbench consists of a ArcGIS online Feature Service Reader and Excel file that are the original and revised parts in the ChangeDetector. Then the Updated, Inserted, Deleted and Unchanged go to the same ArcGIS online Feature Service Writer now. This works perfectly fine and updates my ArcGIS Online Feature Service. The automation in FME Server also works if I change the excel in the Workbench.  My goal is that others can upload an Excel via an Workspace Server App and then see the change in ArcGIS online. If I use the upload function in the Workspace App and try to upload the updated Excel file it doesn't update the ArcGIS online feature service.  Is it not working because I'm using a localhost? I am trying to update from my server as well so I thought that should not be a problem. Or do I have to do it a whole different way in the workbench?

New workspace >> add Creator >> add VariableSetter >> define a variable name and a value >> add VariableRetriever >> connect Setter to Retriever.>> Run --> I get warning about Retriever being used without corresponding Setter. This doesn't make sense, they are clearly connected.Question 2: why does the Setter output use the name of the Creator (_creator_instance) and not the name I defined in the settings?
