FTPCaller URL and Target FIle name more dynamic

Currently we hardcoded the ‘URL’ & ‘Target File’ attributes in our FTPCaller parameters:Is there a way to specific them in a more dynamic way? For example, ‘Operating Account Structure - Export Budget 2022-09-22_13_27_55_PDT.csv’, the '‘Operating Account Structure - Export Budget ' part is static and '2022-09-22_13_27_55_PDT' part is dynamic date/time. How can we specific the dynamic part with wildcard something like ‘Operating Account Structure - Export Budget%.csv'? Thanks.

Topology Error Check for Lines?

I have a street centerline Feature Class in a File GDB. I did a topology check in ArcGIS Desktop and it identified two streets that are overlapping one on top of the other (each street is identical in length). In FME, I set up a workbench with the SpatialFilter Transformer and two Inspectors to do a topology check. In the SpatialFilter I have tried using all the Spatial Predicates to test one at a time. FME does not call out these two overlapping street segments as does ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro.  Maybe if I set a Parameter Condition Definition based on Shape_Length attribute field it might work?  Fyi, I am using this data as a test to help me improve my FME skills. Any ideas on how to get FME to call out these two streets?  Here is a screen capture of the two streets highlighted in red as seen in ArcGIS Desktop.

Extract radius from Oriented arcs

Im trying to understand how to extract properties/radius from Oriented arcs. The ArcPropertyExtractor only works on "normal" arcs so a workaround could be to coerce the the oriented arcs to normal arcs, but can find a transformer for that. The properties exists in the geometry so cant be that difficult to extract it. Any ideas?

API Call to download a file from my shared resource folder in the FME server

How to generalize railroads

Hi guys, I have one more question. I've got task to generalize railroads in fme but I don't have any idea how to start (example data in screenshot).  On the screen you can see a lot of railroads with gap between around 5meters, I would extend the gap to 15 meters at least. I tried with bufferer but there is no result. Any ideas?

How to use fanout in FeatureWirter for dwg-files in FME Server?

How does fanout work for dwg files with FeatureWriter in FME Server. Hundreds of postgis tables are read in my workspace with Feature Reader and they should be written as DWG files by object category. The process works as desired on Workbench. Separate dwg-files from each table with the desired filenames ja layer names will come out. But when I publish my workspace on the FME server, in download zip everything comes out in one and the same file with all feature types on its own layers and filename with a generically generated filename. When publishing, you can only specify the folder path. I would want to use FeatureWriters because I don't wanna create a hundred writers with few transformers each.

Wipe and Replace with FeatureWriter

We are on FME Desktop 2021.2.2Currently have a FeatureWriter that can insert new records (Account ID with their correspondence amounts) into SQL table from a source CSV file. See below:For each import, the CSV file could have same Account ID with different amounts. Therefore, we'd need to truncate any existing matching Account IDs rows and replace with new data. Changed Table Handling to 'Truncate Existing' but the amount still doesn't change. Heard you can change Feature Operation to 'upsert' but don't have that optionThanks.

Trigger a Reader only if condition is met

Hello,I have a workbench that checks several files for some data mergers. Problem is, this one source I have (30+ excel files with thousand of rows each) is useful only when there is a certain value in one of the columns. I was wondering if there is a way to open these files only if a condition is met beforehand (like a user parameter prompt). I wouldn't want to read all files every time knowing that if the condition is not met, they won't bring any value to the end result. For example, If I chose at the start of the workbench "Toronto" - it should trigger this reader; if I chose some other city, it shouldn't. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

FME Client sending incorrect URL to Oauth2 Service (Keycloak) authenticator. Is this a bug?

Hello Forum. I'm trying to help a colleague to setup an Oauth2 service (Tools->WebConnections->+->Oauth2Service) but we're struggling. We have the parameters from the data-owner, and the "Preview" window in the setup dialog presents an acceptable URL (see attached image), but when the connection is made to the server, the URL is malformed. The problem is that the URL received on the server is terminated (prior to the parameters) with ampersand thus: /realms/fdir-dev/protocol/openid-connect/auth&redirect_uri=https://localhost/&client_id=yggdrasil-sa  instead of question-mark as reported in the setup-dialog Preview (see image) The question-mark is required by the server and html convention. Has anyone had success with the OAuth2 server connector, who might be able to guide us, or is this simply a bug?

Availability of password user parameters in Python

We have a number of workspaces developed in older versions of FME that use various database connection parameters (e.g. database name, username, password etc). In some of these workspaces we do post processing (e.g. building indexes), usually via shutdown python scripts or pythoncallers and access these parameters in python using FME macro values.  I've tried running one of these workspaces today in FME 2021 (2021.0.2 - build 21321) and the python scripts no longer seem to be able to access the "password" parameters and python reports a KeyError.  If I try to test by creating a new pythoncaller in the workspace, I cannot see the "password" parameters in the list of user parameters, so I assume this may be a deliberate change?  Any ideas if this is a bug or a deliberate change by Safe in FME 2021? I can't find any info on that change, so if it's deliberate, it would have been nice to know about this so we could update our workspaces.  John

Connection to SharePointOnlineConnector

A while ago I followed the article How to create a Sharepoint Web Connection and successfully created a web connection using the "Connecting to Sharepoint with your own Client ID [Multitenant]" steps. Now a coworker needs to use SharePoint in FME as well, so I exported the Web Service from my machine, imported it in the other machine and created a Web Connection based on this. Creating a web connection with the other user fails, after the username is entered. The error message is: Administrator approval requiredunauthenticatedneeds access to resources in your organization.This access can only be made by an administrator. You must ask an administrator to grant this app permission before you can use the app.Do you have an administrator account? Sign in with that account When I use my login, it just works. So the Web Service seems to be fine. Did I forget a step? Or did IT tighten the app aproval process in the meantime?
