FME server (2017): ERROR |No geometry mapping entry found for 'oracle_nil' in metafile 'C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\metafile\\ORACLE_NONSPATIAL.fmf'

This error occurs once and and while and the issue resolves itself on it's own, sometimes the next day or sometimes it persists for several days. The issue seems to be with any transformer/reader that reads in oracle non-spatial tables.

How to clip raster while keeping z values of individual cells?

Hi all, I am new to FME and am struggling with how to clip a raster and keep the z values. The raster is an ESRI ASCII file and contains flood depths around buildings. I want to keep the raster cells within x meters of he buildings and then calculate statistics based on the kept cells only (z_max etc). Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

I've recently been getting an SFTP login failure when running my FME workspace.

Is it possible to embed a link to an Excel template file inside a Workspace App from my Resources folder?

Hello, I have build a simple Workspace App that copies folders for my users. Currently I provide the users with the network path to the Excel template in the Description section. Example: \\\\my_network\\Excel_template Ideally I'd prefer to house the Excel template in my resources folder on fme server and provide a link for them to download it from there eliminating any issues if a user didn't have access to the network path and thus couldn't download the template. Is this possible without creating a custom html document?

Uploading to external secure FTP or api

Hello Community I’ve made effective use of HTTPCaller to connect to an external secure FTP. I then download that data to process downstream in the workspace. But can I use FME Desktop to upload to a secure FTP, or perhaps to an external API? Thanks,

Warning - Max retries exceeded with url

We have a CSV located in the following directory on our FME Server.

Compatibility issues (32bit and 64-bit) between ArcGIS, FME Desktop and FME Server

I have developed a workbench in 32-bit FME 2021.1.1.2 which is reading ArcSDE DB with ArcFM (32-bit) and 64bit background processing installed. I have ArcGIS 10.6.1 installed. This workbench has been published to 64bit FME Server 2021.1.0.1. The error i am getting after setting up the scheduler in FME Server is "Could not open Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is : -2147.... The error message from ArcObjects is : {Underlying DMBS error [Unknown errorNo Extended error.]}" The workbench runs fine in a standalone mode without FME Server. Is the issue due to compatibility issues between 64-bit FME Server and 32-bit ESRI products or the the version difference between 2021.1.x between FME Desktop and FME Server ?

I have a tester that checks if the user entered something into a user parameter. If they don't enter something then I want to create a new record. Currently it tests for the null and then it essentially stops as no data comes through. I want to create the data thorough a series of calculations. How do I do that?

FME workbench stopped working with error "could not retrive metadata for layer .... error code from the server was '500'.

Hi, I have a workbench setup, it reads a database connection, does some transformations, then write to our Enterprise GIS Portal. The writer is setup to overwrite/truncate the feature layer data, and it has been running successfully for months, but I have now noticed it is failing. I had some issues getting the workbench setup, I think I had some forums post about it as we had to rename some fields and use replace some strings as some characters were causing problems. But all them got sorted and it was working fine. The error message is:ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Could not retrieve metadata for layer/table ID 0 of Feature Service at 'https://maps.middlesbrough.gov.uk/server/rest/services/Hosted/ReportIT_Firmstep/FeatureServer'. The error code from the server was '500' and the message was: 'Connection to IT-ARCGIS-ENT.MBRODOM.NET:9876 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.'I thought it may be a firewall

Allowing access to Azure Storage

Hello all, I'm a newbie to the Azure Storage Connector and stuck at authentication. The file storage connector errors. The Hub readme link for authorizing access to my account goes to REST API documentation, not very helpful, I need to know what to do in the Azure portal console to make things work. Is there any doc out there? Thanks.

How to write outputs with different formats (CSAR, XML, GML) (with a different extension) to one Zip file ?

I want to write a CSAR raster, metadata (.XML) and an additional layer (.GML) to one zipped file. If I add folder.zip to the path the first files are being overwritten and dataset fanout does seem like a way to split an existing output into multiple file extension to be zipped. Both options are not giving the desired result.

Module 'acad/ACAD' is unavailable for use with this FME edition

I have created a workflow in FME desktop on my mac and want to run this job on the FME server. As I am using mac, I am running the Docker build of the FME server. When executing the same job on the server I get this error message "Module 'acad/ACAD' is unavailable for use with this FME edition". Looking at similar issues I suspected that the module was not supported for Linux (Docker container), however this was not the case. I have tried running different version of the FME server (22715 and 2263), this does not affect the result, still the same error message. Any idea of what is causing the problem? Could this problem be avoided if using Windows OS and the modules made for Windows?

Hi! I have two layers of polygons and would like to aggregate all polygons in one layer that falls within a certain distance of polygons in the other layer. Is this possible in FME? Grateful for any help!

In the screenshot attached: I want to aggregate all the green polygons (they are within 2 meters of a building) that belongs to one building into a single polygon.

new data becomes available.

what I want are ArcGIS Layers to maintain old data. if no data is found in the next run, it needs to delete what’s in there and leave it as null until new data becomes available.
