I would like to update an email address within a published parameter. I am able to edit the value but when I hit the Save button it gives me an error and says it cannot save and save to another location. What am I not doing?

I am currently running FME Server 2022.0.0.2 Build 22343 and FME Desktop 2022.0.1.0 Build 22346. My question is whether it is safe to keep the FME server at its current build version. Would it be better to upgrade the FME server to the same version as the FME desktop? It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist with this.

I did go into C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME and deleted the License folder within, but that won't refresh anything that shown in FME Desktop Licensing Assistant. I am looking to see 0 under "In Use" column shown in the Licensing Assistant little window.1) How do I refresh the license server (? I do know its name -- hostname of my floating license server-- if that what it takes to see the 0 under "In Use" column?2) I need to release the seat so I can reuse it to license the FME Desktop again after I'm done with re-installing the app (Currently it keeps saying the one seat is still "In Use." Is it because I didn't not release it properly by just doing an 'accidental' uninstallation of my FME Desktop prior?3) Do I need to do anything with the register key it gave me?Thanks.

I'm still new and learning FME. I've added GDA2020 zone 56 (EPSG:7856) to 4 las files within FME. I've run this by add reader function of LAS files with no coordination system and using the add writers function to select the coordination system and the output file. They output the correct coordinate system but took over 3 hours to run for 4 LAS files. Is there a quicker way to added coordinate system for LAS file within FME, as I have to run over 1100 LAS files?

Hello everyboy! I got two different point feature classes.  The neighbor finder lets me do the 1:1 and 1:n relation which is fine.  Now i would like to perform a spatial many to many (m:n) relation of the points of the two feature classes but i can't figure out a decent way to do this in fme. I really appreciate your help! Thanks a lot!René

Hi, I'm Pol and I'm quite new to FME. In one task I have created voronoi cells from points that share the same value of an attribute and at those points that have a unique attribute value I have created a buffer of a given radius. I did this in order to create an influence map for a certain attribute.The problem I've run into is with the overlapping buffers on the border of the voronoi cells. This is the current result:  this is the desired result:   How can I do it? I've tried the donut builder and the hole extractor but I can't get it to work. Any help is great, thanks in advance. Pol   

Hi, I have three features; each feature has a lat and long column. How do I read the lat/long to visualise the features as points on a map (e.g. HTML map or in the Visual Preview within FME)?

I have an Excel spreadsheet in my Reader. I am using AttributeManager to change field names. I am writing to an ESRI Geodatabase.  FieldX has values of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. What is the best way to add a hyperlink to this field? so that values look like Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 and when clicked the link opens. The hyperlink is the same URL for all the values. I am able to add the hyperlink URL to FieldX in AttributeManager, but the result is it shows the actual URL, not the linked value (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3) in the field.

Hi all,I have an excel file. They have id, photo fields.The photo field include multiple url image. If I use ImageFetcher, I can't download the attribute include multiple link. Could you share to me how to fix it? Thank you  

EDIT:I have created a text parameter with value contractor_log and used that as the layer name in both, this seems to have fixed the problem (not fully tested yet). This seems to be more of  a hack than a proper solution. Is there a 'more correct' way I should be doing this? Hey, I have a workbench that manipulates some input data, then it checks an arcgis online table (contractor_log) to see if this particular mobile number exists in the AGOL table. I need the AGOL table to be UPDATED if the mobile number exists in the table, but if it is new (non existent in the AGOL table) I need FME to INSERT a row into this AGOL table, which is a dozen field to insert. I have inserted the AGOL WRITER into my workspace, setup my UPDATE writer which works perfectly, I now wish to duplicate this writer to setup my INSERT, but when I create a copy of this it must contain a unique layer (table) name, which is not ideal, as I want both writers connecting to the same AGOL Layer/table. See this photo, it 

Hi, I have a parameter in my workbench that I want to lock down to expect a 10 digit phone number. Here in Australia they all start with 04, so I am hoping to make my parameter restricted to between 0400000000 and 0499999999. It doesn't work if I use integer, because it drops the leading zero. Does anyone have any tips on how I can achieve this? Ultimately this will be published to server and be a web form input field. I am hoping the user cannot press submit until the mobile number is in the range I mention above. Cheers

I see this new UPSERT functionality...Where can I find help docs for upserting to file geodatabase gdb?  Thank you, TylerSAFE FME 2022.1

Hi I am trying to connect to a public S3 bucket and have tried multiple times to connect and download files in the bucket. I just keep getting an error message. I'm probably entering something wrong but I've tried multiple different things and no luck so hoping for some guidance here. S3Connector: There was an error connecting to Amazon S3: 'Parameter validation failed:Invalid bucket name "shaking-layers/": Bucket name must match the regex "^[a-zA-Z0-9.\\-_]{1,255}$" or be an ARN matching the regex "^arn:(aws).*:s3:[a-z\\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:accesspoint[/:][a-zA-Z0-9\\-]{1,63}$|^arn:(aws).*:s3-outpo...'. Confirm that your credentials and region settings are correct. Some regions are not publicly available - contact AWS for more information. I have attached a screenshot of what I am entering in the S3 Connector.

Hi, I have a parcel data with various years in the postgis database and I need to executed topology year wise to find out the topology errors across the years. I have query to filter out the data in year wise and the query is (column1 < Year and column2 >= Year). My first question is how to retrieve the various years in DB for that particular area and my second question is how to pass the years to fetch the data pertain to that particular year and pass it on to the dissolver transformer, kindly let me know.     

I have two sets of points, A and B. I would like to create lines between them, only if the distance of this line is < 500 meter.  Currently I achieve this using a 1-on-1 join in the FeatureMerger. For each point in A there is a list element with the coordinates stored for point B. So if I have 300 points of A and 200 of B, I would have a list with 300 features, with each feature having 200 elements. I then explode the list, and then for each point of B, create the feature, and then check if the distance is <500 meter. This is unfortunately very bad performance-wise, since there are a lot of unneeded connections (> 500m) being made. When running the workspace with big sets of points in A and B this can really effect efficiency. Is there a way in which I can check the distance between two points before I create the feature?

Hi,  I'm trying to run an FME process from the command line like I have many times before (fme example.fmw) However, it is opening the wrong version for the workspace. The workspace is in 2022 but the command line is opening 2018 (which is also installed on my computer). Is there a flag or something I could add to my code to ensure it opens 2022? My workspace has newer transformers than 2018 so it crashes everytime I open it I have tried adding it to the system path variable, but this doesn't do anything, unless I'm doing it wrong Thanks

Hi, I have some points and they have an attrobute called code. I want to create a polygon around the points with the same code ( similar to Voronoi).  Can some one help on how to do that. Thanks and Regards, Krishna

Hi. Could someone advise how to write the attributes to the postgres DB, but at the same time write the coordinates in the geometric data type? I have postgis extension in postgres DB. I don't see any such data type in the user attribute tab on the postgres writer. Thank you

I have a table (BKR2) with x and y coordinates, but no address.There is another table (GBA_address) with x and y coordinates with address.i would like to search with x and y coordinates from table BKR2 for nearest x and y coordinates in table GBA_address.Is that possible and how?
