Hello FME friends,Welcome to the What's Up Wednesday newsletter for October 26th, 2022.  For reasons of space, this is an extract from the full version of this newsletter, which you can find here on LinkedIn. Spatial "For Dummies"Did you know that Safe Software helped to produce an e-book on this subject? The actual title is "Spatial Data for the Enterprise for Dummies", but that was just a bit long to fit in a heading.  The book is

Block legacy authentication with Azure AD with Conditional Access How will this influence the FME Server Azure AD integration? And what can be done to fix it? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/block-legacy-authentication

Have a FeatureWriter to insert data into a SQL table. It ran successfully without any error. However, no data shown in the destination database table. Reviewed the log and it says Features not written (see below):Below is the Feature Writer: Both FME Desktop and Server are the same 2021 version. FeatureWriter insert works well in my other workspace. Not sure why it didn't work here.

I have reviewed the recommended Virtual Memory settings in this post. But, my server is hosted in Azure. It has 32GB of physical memory, 4 cores, and has a dedicated 149GB drive for the pagefile that is managed by Azure. Still getting this error when reading in 5M well records from Enverus data to our SQL Server Enterprise Geodatabase (SDE). The FME version is the lates - 2022.1.3. Just upgraded from 2020.2.2. 2020.2.2 did not have this issue.  To clarify - I have NOT made the suggested settings as Azure manages the pagefile and it is substantial.

Hi All, I'm looking for the latest, or what you have found, the best workbench/template for generating (as much is possible) FGDC compliant metadata. I'll be using a template xml document. Any and all recommendations are welcome! Thanks, Jerry

Hey there,following my issue with clothoids I now have a problem with writing geometry properly into LandXML.While the geometry is proper within FME Desktop, it gets worse as soon as it's written to LandXML.Any ideas?A sample workspace is attached. Cheers,MariaKa

My parameter says this.$(FME_MF_DIR)\\CF\\PNM.sdeBut I want it to say this.C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Desktop\\CF\\PNM.sde Can this be done? This is a problem because it breaks the connection when the workbench is put in different folder.

Hi, I would like to crop image according to shapefile boundaries, similar to arcgis extract by mask. Currently I have this result after clipper transformer, but is bad for me.   Thank´s 

I'm currently working on a high-voltage network, which relies on pressurized oil being forced into cables to insulate them, through a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge (node) is connected to an oil line (line), the other side of which is connected to a connector (node), which is then connected to a cable (line). I'm looking to add attributes of the connector and the cable to the pressure gauge, but can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. Main issue with SpatialRelator seems to be that from 1 pressure gauge there are 3 oil lines, going to 3 connectors, going to 3 cables, over which a single connection runs in 3 phases, where the connection has no geometry.

With the list of transformers growing ,I would love a list of all available transformers - ordered by the date they were created/implemented.I'm not interested in the modification/upgraded date, and it is not related to a specific task or workspace. Just the entire transformer package :) Is that possible?

Hello I want to give the location and Id of the points that follow the path of the line to simulate asset movement I am soring Y descending and X ascending But it's not working  Any suggestion please 

I have an HTTPCaller that fetches all the source rows in one call however the downstream transformers make the caller run again for each row. How to tell the transformers they already have all the data and to loop only within? 

Screenshots attached when I had the issue initially (FME1) and the other after login into ArcPro - Error is now gone (FME2)

Hi, I am just exploring some of the standard dashboard features of FME Server 2021.2.3.0 (20220131 - Build 21812 - WIN64), I have got a couple working without any issues, and now I am unable to get the "DailyAverageQueuedTime.fmw" workspace to run, each time I get a warning: Path Reader: No files found in folder 'C:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FME Server\resources\dashboards\temp' using glob pattern '*.csv' with glob filter 'FILE'. No features will be readI have attached the full log file, has anyone seen this before, or do you know how to resolve? I am not sure what I should be looking for. Cheers

I am trying to dynamically read all the gdb's in a folder then write all features out into an SDE with the same schema. Unfortnetly it is giving me errors when running it. I am reading both the schema and the features but the SDE writer does not like it.  Also, if I am sucsessful, I assume it will count the 10 schema features are actual features, but they arn't really features at all. Is there any way to remove these from the output while still keeping the schema?

The error i received is

What happens to automatic replies to FME Server sent emails (out of office, undeliverable, etc.)? Can Server be configured to route them somewhere useful?

Hi,I'm trying to create a scripted parameter to concatenate some of the FME Server Parameters, but all the FME Server Parameters come back as "None" in my scripted parameter, even though I've explicitly set them in FME Workbench.This is on MacOS FME Desktop 2022.1.2.0 (build 22627). I've tried using fme.macroValue, same result. I can use other user parameters in a scripted parameter. Is it not possible to use server parameters inside scripted parameters?

Hello,I know this is weird but somehow I cannot find the Google API key that I got but I do have it stored in the workbench file for years now, in the Geocoder transformer. Any idea how/if I could retrieve the API Key somehow? Many thanks

Via "Add or Remove programs" I select FME Desktop 2020.0 and click Uninstall. This message appears: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package fme-desktop-2020.0.2-b20232-win-x64.msi in the box below." Unfortunately I can't find the installer anywhere, so I can't uninstall. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can uninstall FME 2020.0?

Hello,I need to do a simple operation in any GIS software, like QGIS, but I can't replay it in FME, and then load this data on ArcGIS Server. For example, I have two polygons with the same code (two rown in a data base) and I need to fusion them into a single one, using a common attribute, the code. The result would be two geometries and only one row into database.  If I use Aggregator transformer, checking group by this attribute, apparently the result is ok, but output a geometry collection don't load to ArcGIS Server. I tried to use GeometryCoercer, after the output port of Aggregator transformer, but it didn't work.  So, can someone help me? Thanks!
