I want to write to an existing FGDB and I'm getting "Esri Geodatabase Writer: XXX attribute value(s) were truncated" (in my case: XXX = 500+) in my translation log. Concerning the attribute values that should get written and given data types, everything seems to be fine. What could be a way to determine which attribute values are truncated and why? I can't find further information on this.

Hello,I have several featureclasses to convert from EPSG:4326 TO EPSG:3847. Almost all of the input featureclasses got reprojected and got saved as a new output featureclass . But, for few, I receive the below error ,An error occurred while attempting to add a shape to a feature buffer. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220936'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The coordinates or measures are out of bounds.} I'm not sure what is the reason and how to resolve it. When tried using Arcgis pro it worked well but not in fme desktop. I used ESRI reprojector for this operation and even I tried using other reprojection transformers too and I get the same issue. Can any one provide some guidance or solution to this problem? Do I need to change any writer parameters ? Thanks.

I am having issues running workspaces on FME Server that contain Python 3 (using Esri GIS Python module). This is the error I am getting: The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.6+', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server. If ArcGIS is not required by this workspace, then update Python Compatibility to a non-Esri-ArcGIS Python. Otherwise, please install the required ArcGIS product, or if ArcGIS Desktop already installed, update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'. To update this setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python Compatibility Environment Details: FME Desktop/Server 2021.2.5.0, ArcGIS Pro 2.8 and ArcMap 10.8.1 Per the compatibility page (

The FME Python environment is a bit weird, to say the least, which makes it difficult to use in various contexts. It's a Windows Python embedded installation, with the bundled and user-installed libraries in non-standard paths. As stated by the Python doc linked above, this installation doesn't officially support using Pip for package installation (due to the sysconfig paths likely being invalid). For dependency management, I would honestly much prefer using a virtual environment, but the python311 installation bundled with FME 2023 doesn't include the ven

So I have a pain in the backside task I'd like to try and cut down to size.Basically we use a piece of software that automatically generates reports and logs for us and they can either be generated individually or as one large PDF. For my current project I need to generate thousands of these reports, which to do individually will be a nightmare, so I want to generate the single large PDF and have FME scan through the PDF and split out the pages. Each report has a location reference number and the sheet number (e.g. 1 of 7) so what I would like to do is have FME scan through the PDF, read the reference and sheet numbers, split out the pages and recombine into the individual location references.

I was wondering about the FME Flow Temp Resource (i.e. '$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)'). As the name suggests its supposed to be a temporary folder.  First question I have on this, Is it correct that there is no default mechanism (e.g. that there is no default cleanup task) that cleans out this Temp (FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP) folder, and that if you want to have it be cleaned every X days/weeks, you should create a new System Cleanup Task? It seemed to me that this was the case, and while setting up my own System Cleanup Task to have this Temp (FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP) folder cleared, I came across some confusing points I would like to address/ask. My second question;How does the 'Remove Files Older Than' parameter set (at tab 'Tasks' of 'System Cleanup') relate to the 'Task Interval' parameter for 'Normal Conditions' (that can be configured at the 'Configur

Hi, I receive this message: message":"Some or all of the input parameters are invalid","problems":[{"reason":"dependency","field":"publishedParameters","message":"Illegal field  Does anyone know the reason?Thank you 

Hi, I have a MySQL database which I'm using the non-spatial MariaDB reader to get access to. Most fields are coming into FME Desktop ok, with the exception of a unique identifier field. The source data has a field called rg_key_id which is defined as char(21) in MySQL. A typical value in this field would be 'RG 022000001' But, when read FME is setting the datatype as fme_binary and I'm seeing '52472020303232303030303031' as the representation of 'RG 022000001' Can someone please point me at a resource, or help me understand, how I can either honour the source datatype or change the FME datatype so that it's no longer fme_binary. Here is the Feature Information showing the fme_binary encoding. Many thanks Brendon

When I publish my workspace to our FME Server, and run it it works. After a while, published before Christmas 2023 -> ran now again, FME Server return with the following error: ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Authorization error. See http://fme.ly/AGOL401Error for more info. FMEException: 928221: ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '498' and the message was: 'Invalid token.'. Details: '' Trying to fix the issue I attempted to re-authenticate the web connection. The issue is, when I click on the 'Authenticate' button, then I get a browser window where I can authenticate myself against our Enterprise Portal and the portal returns a token. In other applications such as Jupyter the token needs to be copied and handed over to the requesting applica

Hi all,I'm wirting a program and I thing is alos usefull for other: FME-Starter simplifies the opening of FMW files when installing several FME version. The program must first be associated with the .fmw file extension (Windows context menu, Open with). When opening FMW-files, it will check if there is an FME version installed that matches the last one saved.If yes, this workbench will be opened with this version. Otherwise a selection of all installed FME versions is displayed. If a hotkey is pressed when starting the program, the selection is also displayed. In the settings you can choise the hotkey between Shift or Control. On dircet opening the executable yout can choise the FME-version to run. In the settings you can choise a hotkey (Shift or Control) to run the actual version directly. With FMX-files (custom-transformer) the FME-Starter has the same behaviour with the difference that the fi

Hello,I am abeginner with FME.I created a workplace test with a reader component PostgreSQL, a transformer component et a CSV Writer component.All it's works.I would like catch errors if there is un problem with de connexion to database or to write the csv file in a log file or send mail but there isn't a connection error like Talend to catch errors.How can I catch errors with writer or reader component?Thanks for your help

Hi FME lovers,I'm getting blocked when trying to access this website, via POST:https://lastkajen.trafikverket.se/api/Identity/Login Using HttpCaller from FME 2022.2, I have:But, no luck, a http_status_code = '400' is sent. On the other hand, I've had no issues using Postman:  I guess I'm not filling well the HttpCaller settings, right? Thanks!

I am doing an inventarisation of all our scripts. Each script has the workspace parameters completed. This information is ideal for the inventary. I have found a way to do this adding each .fmw script individually, but this is very time consuming so I am looking for a way to do so in bulk.  I tried to use Directory reader to initially find all the .fmw scripts in a particular path, and this works, however I do not find a way now from this list how to extract info from inside the various files. I tried the FeatureReader transformer as I used this before to extract DWG files in bulk, but that does not seem to work for .fmw files.

Hi,Is it possible to change the skins of FME 2016?I installed FME 2016 and I would like to return to the classic skins (FME 2015 or 2014).It is not ugly, but it is not my style.It would be cool to have several skins for FME :- FME in DOS- FME dark- FME pink- FME comicsI like to program XML or JavaScript into a black background, I think my eyes would like it for FME too.Thanks.

We recently downloaded the 2021.1 version of FME. All previous scripts run on 2020.1 without problems. Now however, I get a warning message "Excel Writer: Failed to refresh Pivot Tables and recalculate formulas. Note this is only possible on Windows with Excel installed" when exporting to an excel with the use of a template. I write my data in 1 tab, and that tab is used to make a pivot table in another tab. Because of this warning, the excels in my dataflow I have stay open and after 20-ish files the memory in my task manager is full, so the translation fails. We did not change the version of Excel, that should not be the problem. Anyone an idea what could be the problem?  

@We have 2020.1 Desktop/Server and are writing to an ESRI ArcGIS Portal Feature Service. It successfully reads and writes using the configured web connection based on the ArcGIS Portal (Template). Unlike ArcGIS Online, the writer doesn't seem to update@ the token and I have to go into the web connection settings and re-authenticate manually. We are connecting to a 10.7.1 Portal and it happens in both FME Desktop and Server. Our 10.7.1 Portal is currently only operating from 7am to 7pm and restarts nightly (Dev environment). I've noticed in the workbenches connecting to AGOL, that the token in updated automatically. But that doesn't appear to be happening in the Portal writer. Is it something I'm doing? Or is it the nightly restarts of Portal? Thanks 

I am running FME 2023.2 and have a dynamic workspace that is creating a File Geodatabase (FGDB) with a FeatureWriter, and I am running against ArcGIS Pro 3.2. Recently, I have wanted to access some annotation class properties in that GDB, but I find that I cannot access them. ArcGIS Pro says that the FGDB is version 10.0 and that I need to upgrade the FGDB to the latest version to activate those properties. I looked at the log for the last run that built the FGDB, and I see "Created and connected to the ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase at '[Location]\\template_General_Prod.gdb'" I checked the FeatureReader geodatabase version parameter, and it is set to "Current." So, ArcGIS Pro is telling me that there is a later FGDB version than 10.0, while FME, though set to "Current," is creating a 10.0 version FGDB.  I am confused. Can FME only create a maximum 10.0 FGDB version, or is there actually no later FGDB version ... or is somethin

I am trying to create a workspace to read the contents of an Excel file from SharePoint directly into memory to then operate on, rather than download the file to a temporary location first. I understand that I should be able to read files to memory by using the SharePointOnlineConnector with 'Action: Download' and 'Download as: Attribute' settings, and have had a degree of success with a simple text file that I'm using for test purposes.​The '_contents' attribute returns the full content of my text file, as below:However, I'm not sure how to deal with this attribute to make it usable after this point… ​I've tried passing the '_contents' attribute to a CSV FeatureReader as the 'Dataset', but this didn't work, as the reader tries to open a file at the

Anybody tell me what I'm getting wrong here? Document Link path is valid. No errors in the FME log but attachment not found in the http response? 

Hi, I hope someone can help me with the following.I have a workspace app, lets call it "app1", which uses the file/URL parameter and the "User can Upload" setting in the Edit workspace apps enviroment to upload data. When I test the workspace, it correctly shows that the file is processed and ready for use. I have also have another workspace, let's call it "app2", which uses the exact same setting as app1 for the file/URL parameter and the workspace app. However, when testing the workspace app, it does not register the file upload Pressing upload file does not process or show a filename or percentages of completion. Browse resources and "drag and drop"

When I query the schedules using the REST API (...fmerest/v3/schedules?...) The json returned gives the specified user I changed it to but the userName value is the previous owner. Does this indicate that the job is running under the account of the previous owner? How can I make the userName show the new owner account?

I just upgraded my FME from 2021.2.4 to 2023.2 today. My emailer transformers are working fine on my workbench that were previously there. I went to add a new emailer to my upgraded workbench, but I cannot set the parameters, it's stuck at Generic SMTP and no connection settings are anywhere to be found, so no host/port/encryption settings. I removed all the emailers from my workbench, then removed the emailer transformer from my PC, then redownloaded it from FME hub, and still no dice. Any advice? Build is 23764
