I have a fairly simple problem but can't seem to figure it out. I need to copy one excel file to another folder and rename the copied file. I've tried using the PATH reader and the File Copy Writer but nothing seems to get copied. Any ideas?

'Split Complex Annotations' when reading ArcGIS geodatabase annotations

I'm trying to read annotation feature class from ArcGIS file geodatabase. For further processing, I need to check 'Split Complex Annotation' and 'Split Multi-part Annotation' in the reader.The annotation in ArcMap looks like the above image. It's in vertical alignment: baseline, horizontal alignment: center.While after importing from FME reader, it becomes to:Any safer partner could explain how FME calculate the anchor point of spitted text? seems the anchor point set to right bottom corner. And will the split consider the ArcGIS alignment setting?

Where to add feature index to reader?

Hi, I am trying to make a simple WS (with only one transformer) to change the schema! Translation runs successfully but I dont see the final gdb . The error on the Inspector is showing that "failed to specify the feature index as constraints on the reader". What should I add and where? Both my reader and writer are File Geodb Open API.

2022.1.1 FeatureWriter isn't sending to output ports (worked in 2021.2)

I am creating a series of small jpeg files using a feature writer with each jpeg getting it's name from a unique value (myRLU_@Value(RLUOID)). I recently upgraded to 2022.1.1 from 2021.2 - things were working until I upgraded. I have 20 records coming into the FeatureWriter and 20 showing in the Summary port but no records passing through the output port.The FeatureWriter creates the jpgs but does not pass through the records to the testfilter transformer? Has anyone else had issues with this in 2022.1.1? Any ideas how to get this running again? Could this be helpful in diagnosing the issue: FeatureWriter_5: Bulk features are not supported because the expression contains a function call After playing around some more - looks like the issue is the FeatureWriter using an attribute as the output filename. When I change it to a "hard-coded" value, the records are available in the output port.

Is there a generic way to reference attribute name (not the value held by the attribute) of a selected attribute in an AttributeManager condition?

I want to use the same condition for each attribute, with the only variation being the attribute/field name of the attribute to which the condition applies.

Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE geodb) readers gives an error only on FME server. (The item does not have a definition.)

Hi, With FME I want to read a sde geodatabase. (feature class). For this I use the reader: “Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE geodb)”. Until recently this worked. With ArcGis Pro an Attribute rule has been created for 1 field and since then the reader no longer works if the workspace is on FME server. If the workspace is run in FME desktop (not FME server) the reader will still work properly. The message I get when the workspace is running on FME server is: An error occurred while attempting to open the table, feature class or relationship class 'My_TABLE'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147211773'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The item does not have a definition.}  What could be the cause of this. FME server and FME Desktop are the same version. Greatings, Hans

How to expose raster attribute values

I have a land cover raster with values that can be seen in ArcGIS Pro when looking at the raster's attribute table. When bringing this raster into FME using the "Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset)" Reader, the raster is brought in with no attribute values (see screenshot). Looking for help with bringing the raster into FME so that the attribute records will be populated with the raster's values shown in the ArcGIS attribute table? A smaller example raster that was clipped from the larger raster can be found at http://robot.konturlabs.com/temp/rasters_temp.gdb.zip Thanks!

Question of the Week: Can I recover an FME Server admin password if I forget it?

Question of the WeekThis question was asked in Live Chat this week, but to be fair it has come up several times from various users...Q) I've forgotten the password to the admin account on our FME Server. Is there a way to recover it? A) In short, no! But because the FME Server Support team has seen an increasing number of cases recently where a customer is unable to log in because of a forgotten password, I think it's worth outlining what the options are at this point, and how to avoid getting here in the first place!What's the Default Admin Password?Up until recent FMEs, the default administrator account used to be admin/admin. You can see why we felt that wasn't a good choice, because it's so easy to guess.So now - although the default is still admin/admin - you are forced to change it when logging in for the first time. The username remains admin, but the password becomes one of your own devising.I've Forgotten the Admin Password - Now What?So at a later date

Is there any FME Python API for 3D Reprojection?

I tried the FMEFeature.reproject(coordSys) method but it can do only 2D reprojection. I want to do reprojection using Python only not with any transformer like EsriReprojector or CSmap.

Flow Workspace App 'Browse Resources' is broken

Since updating our server to the newest version of FME Flow, the "Browse Resources" button is broken on workspace apps. Users can only upload their own temporary files. Uploading files is a functional workaround, but it is much slower than selecting a file from the network drive mounted on the server. I have verified that both my user account and the app have permission on the resource. For the app I have given List and View permissions to the folder.  Any recommendations?

Child process is stuck on queue when using FMEServerJobSubmitter

I have a batch workspace that spawns multiple child workspaces using four separate FMEServerJobsubmitters. I have two engines in FME FLow but the other engine is occupied with other processes so I'm able to use only one engine. As i understood, if i set Wait for jobs to complete to "Yes" and Submit Jobs "In Sequence", FME Flow should spawn a sub-engine that will run the child workflows and once they are ready it will continue the parent process. This is the behaviour that I would need because I only want to continue parent workflow when all the child processes are successful. However, with this setup the first child process enters queue and never starts. It also shows in the parent log file that the submit was successful, but it ends up into queue. I have separate queues for the two engines and both the parent process and the child process are tied to engine2 running in queue2 so it should interfere with the other engine and queue. However, it seems that the par

Community Posting Limitations for Newly Created Members (advertisements/bots)

It may be beneficial to have some sort of limitation stopping brand new members from including external weblinks in their first post/ within the first day that the account is created. If the advertisement/bots become more of an issue, then something like that may help mitigate the problem without being overly limiting on legitimate users.

Can we move the Temp folder location to a larger drive??

We are getting an error while running FFS writer: Failed to write to file 'C:\\Users\\use\\AppData\\Local\\Temp "Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file, and that sufficient disk space is available" This should be a simple merging of .SHP file (3221) into a single FeatureClass in a GDB. The Reader set to read .shp in Single Merged Feature Type. Got a GeometryValidator set to degenerate or Corrupt geometry "Edit". A Tester to get the read shapes and then the GDB Writer. We have and checked that the user is admin on the box and folders, so Think the issue room for the temp file. this is running on a Server where c:\\ only has OS on it and not much space left after that. So can we run in a way that clears the Temp location after so many record run, or can we move the Temp to a larger drive??
