I need to undo deletions of large number of files in a AWS S3 bucket. The deletions were done on S3 versioned files. I can manually delete "delete marker" to restore the latest version or wrote python code to do this (https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/?displayId=11035724071&language=en and https://medium.com/@jbirdvegas/crap-so-you-deleted-all-your-customers-s3-artifacts-now-what-d684d76437d3), but wondering if FME can do this quick. I have used FME to upload and delete files to S3, but don't know if it can remove the "delete marker" to restore the latest version of files.

I have a workspace that creates .png (image) files based on business needs. I'd like to send one email with the png files attached. The problem is, the name and number of the png files will vary with each run.  Currently, I have one aggregate feature with the paths of each png file stored in a list. This one feature is being fed into the emailer to trigger the send of one email.  How can I configure the feature coming into the emailer transformer, and the emailer attachments section, to send the png files regardless of how many there are? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm running into an issue when trying to INSERT & TRUNCATE an existing ArcGIS Portal feature layer via an FME writer. The error message I am receiving can be seen below: ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '500' and the message was: 'Cannot perform operation. Invalid operation parameters.'. Details: '' I've read through a couple of older posts about this issue and followed the suggested fixes, but these don't seem to help in my case - fixes include checking there isn't a mismatch in schemas, and reducing the 'Feature Per Request' in the writer settings. To see if there was an issue with updating more complex feature layers, I have tested with a simple feature layer and still having the same error message. This polygon feature layer (3x rows, 1x string field) was published from ArcGIS Pro to Portal and can be read into FME with no issue, but the same error oc

After transforming some bands of a raster (CSAR) in the Rasterexpressionevaluator, they are renamed to the same name (3bands get the same name) but I would like them to keep the original name. I think this is an error in the Rasterexpressionevaluator. In order to set the bandnames to their original name, I have tried the rasterbandnamesetter but it does not work as the bandnames are no attributes. The transformer does not seem able to reach the bands stored in the IFMERaster object. How to rename these bandnames ?  Thank you!

I am trying to update a shp file in Arconline with new data. I am trying to replace the data which is the same and add new data that may have been added. I am using truncate and " update "in the ESRI AGOL writer to make sure this happens. But I run into this error when running this "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Encountered a feature for feature type 'WatercourseLink_Clip_test' that is missing the ID attribute 'OBJECTID'. This attribute is requiredARCGISONLINEFEATURES writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsClipper_INSIDE_-1_17_Player (RecorderFactory): ARCGISONLINEFEATURES writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details" But as far as I can tell both the source data which is being uploaded to update the exisiting data and the exisiting data in AGOL both already have ObjectID's. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I think im missing something quite simple here 

I have created a workbench on my desktop that will be running each night on a server. Both my machine and the server is using Windows-1252.The workbench run fine on my desktop but on the server i get the error POSTGIS writer: Internal Error: Failed to copy attribute 'NØYAKTIGHET' to 'nã˜yaktighet'I dont have any encoding issues on my desktop which make me wonder if the translation fail due to this. I cannot see any other reasons why this would fail?The server is running 2022.1.2.0 (20220831 - Build 22627 - WIN64)The desktop is 2021.1.0.0 (20210630 - Build 21607 - WIN32)Both are using the same locale as far as i can see. Any ideas how i can fix this? My first try will be to install 2022 version on my desktop, but I doubt that would make any difference.     

Trying to remove the editor tracking fields. I can, run to, in Attribute manager and see the fields removed but in the File GDB preview, I still see them.

Hi I am trying to uninstall FME (2020.002) using Windows Add/Remove Programs. However, it just hangs on 'Gathering Information'. This is the second time I have tried - first time I left it for 24hours and no progress. Anyone go any ideas how I can remove it completely?

Looking for a workbench example that updates a SDE Feature Class with attachments with an AGO HFL. Basically we would like to truncate and fill the SDE Feature Class with attachment with what is in a HFL in AGO.

I have state name and county name as input parameters. I need to use state name as first input and then filter county name list to provide based input selection for county name. I checked Parameter Manager and cannot find a way to do this

This image of my output display on a CesiumJS website demonstrates where I am up to. I am trying to convert GDB multipatch to C3DT.I can control colour through either geometrycoloursetter or appearancesetter but I cannot figure out how to prevent dark shading on top of models nor create defined edges to accentuate the geometry.I want the edges to look like this:

Hi,I use ZipExtractor to unziped a file, then put it in a folder, but when I go to use PythonCaller to read the files from the folder, it still hasn't finished unzipping all the files.How do I make it use the next task only when the previous task has finished?Thank you

My project covers the whole state of NSW, and the workspace has many many transformers. What I want to know is how to lock the bounding box of the map in the Graphics View. If I'm debugging one particular area of interest, the map jumps to some sort of saved view for each and every transformer. I spend the day zooming and panning the map to get back to my area of interest. I click another transformer to see what the data was doing at that point. then have to zoom and pan again to get back to my area of interest. What I want to do is lock the Graphics View to my area of interest. I can see the hover for "2D" button is "Lock the current view in 2D", but it doesn't lock anything consistently. Sometimes it even centres the map on another state where there is no data. Other times it drops me in the ocean and I have to zoom out until I see land, pan, and zoom in again. Is it possible to keep the bounding box of the map in the Graphics View fixed?

I have excel file where i need to separate all columns please help me out

I have read many posts and articles about FME and geodatabase domains, and nowhere can I find any mention of reading the domain name. I can resolve the domain code for any given feature, getting the <attribute>_resolved value. I am pretty clear on how I have to go about extracting all of the domains in a geodatabase. Given a full domain definition, I can create the coded_value(...)-formatted native_data_type value for a schema feature; however, I can find no reference to how to extract the associated domain name for a feature class in an existing geodatabase, at least with pure FME. This seems nuts, and I feel I must be missing something fundamental. Anyone have any pointers here? Any help is much appreciated.

We have a workspace on FME server (2021.2.6) with a published parameter ProjectName.We're submitting jobs through the REST enpoint, using json for the parameters.Now we have a project name with an single quote (apostrophe), like:A'damThis results in a code 400 - bad request. So, what is the correct way to send this string in the json? What we have tried:A%27damThis works, but then we need to decode the string in workbench.A\'damThis works, but server interprets this as as a double quote.A"damWe also tried to replicate this in submitting a job from the fme server interface but then the parameters are sent as form data, not as json...

My workspace isn't complex yet if I make a small change inside and AttributeManager, FME Desktop hangs for a good minute. The CPU does spike while it hangs.Has anyone else run into this issue before? This is a clean install on a beast of a machine so I shouldn't think its resource related.

I have a large XML (4GB+) I have trouwble to read. I need all elements, however: pand_bagpandid (2) only becomes a feature when it's the only element selected. If I check 1, I get alle elements execpt pand_bagpandid, when I select individual elements (3) I still get all elements except pand_bagpandid, if I only select pand_bagpandid I do get it, but I don't get any of the other elements. I am inexperienced with xml and have ben struggeling with this for quite a bit now. The xml fragements show the same behavior. Flattening, fragmenting or exposing attributes didn't work for me either

Hallo FME community,I want to know how to overwrite existing shapefile file and FGDB. With CSV it's clear but with shapefile and FGDB I can't find an option to overwrite.  

This is likely a simple question: I have a workspace set up to read, sample, clip, sort and combine Sentinel-2 data into a single raster with 9 bands. It works fine. The default band numbers generated by RasterBandCombiner are 1-9, but I'd like to name the bands based on the original Sentinel-9 band numbers as displayed in the original rasters. Is there a simple way to designate the raster band names using something like the fme_basename?

An error occurred while attempting to insert a row into the table 'UNSARE' using a cursor. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216063'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Spatial index grid is too small [HARBOUR.UNSARE]}

Hello,I am trying to read multiple excel files that unfortunately don't come very clean, meaning that the headers are starting on the third row while the first two rows are mainly blank. So I used the "Directory and File Pathnames" reader to pull all the excel files that I need and then connected it to the Feature Reader but the "Attributes to Expose" doesn't work as I don't have headers on the first row. I attached a snip of how the .xls files look. Basically I would need to somehow skip/delete the first two rows and read from there. Not sure.  Can anyone advise on this one? Many thanks!
