I have a dataset of parallel lines that I have buffered (150ft) and dissolved into one polygon. My question is, is there a way I can preserve the actual flow (direction) of the main buffer, and split out where the buffer separates from the main path? I want to keep the main segment as one feature, and where it splits as a separate feature. In the image below kind of explains what I am attempting to do. Segment 1 would be one solid feature, while segment 2 would be another solid feature.    

Hello FMEers,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday. Academy UpdateThis week, the FME Server Authoring Trail has been updated on the FME Academy. As you might know, a "Trail" is an extensive course composed of multiple modules, so this is a comprehensive update.  In fact, you can see it's 7 hours of content, worth 4,000+ points, and even consists of multiple smaller trails: Publish Workflows to the Web trailWhat is FME Server?Publish Workflows to the WebCreate Data Integration Apps trailBuild Basic Self-Serve WorkflowsManage FME Server Data and ConnectionsBuild Versatile Self-Serve WorkflowsAutomate Data Integration Tasks trailBuild Basic AutomationsBuild Versatile AutomationsCreate No-Code Web AppsConnect Automations with Job Orchestration I think there's something there for all FME Server users and - as always - this content is free to access on the FME Academy. Esri ArcGIS Online Hub TransformersI may have mentioned these already, but, just in case you weren't awar

Hello There we have a set of point features we want to filter the point that has the same distance +- 5m to each other as You can see in the picture we should keep 1 ,3.5, and 7 since there are at +- 5m distance and should delete 2 ,4 and 6 If we go with a neighborhood finder with a max length 5m will work but point 2 and 4 are also located at a 5m distance, the goal is to keep only one set of points the green or the blue

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.

I am doing the FME Server Authoring 2021.1 trainig and I see video day 3 is completely irrelevant to the FME server training modules. Now I started day 4 it seems few modules skipped as day 3 was not the correct video.Is there any other source to the trainig video that match with course modules?

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. This was working back in July, but is now throwing the following errors:FTP info:  Trying 'SFTP IP ADDRESS'...FTP info: Connected to SERVERNAME ('SFTP IP ADDRESS') port 22 (#0)FTP info: SSH MD5 fingerprint: 'FINGERPRINT'FTP info: SSH authentication methods available: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive,passwordFTP info: Failure requesting identities to agentFTP info: Authentication failureFTP info: Closing connection 0FTP/FTPS/SFTP transfer error: Login denied Now, this I can still connect via my same SSH key using an FTP tool such as WinSCP no problem. I'm loading the private key via a SystemCaller and the following command beforehand:Start cmd /c "C:/Program Files/PuTTY/pageant.exe" C:\\PrivateKeys\\PrivateKey.ppk

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?

 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,

We have a CSV located in the following directory on our FME Server. We receive the following warning whenever we run a job that utilizes the CSV: USERNAME FME Server: SSL certificate verification failed for host 'MACHINENAME.DOMAINNAME.com:443'.

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?

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

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.

Hi,How can I join each feature from one dataset to all features from a second dataset?Datasets aren't related to each other by any column.  Thanks in advance,Moisés
