FME User Conference 2022: Community Message Board

Hi everyone,Here's a post for sharing ideas and activities, for organizing social events, or for just passing on messages during the 2022 User Conference. Note: I can't guarantee to be monitoring this page. Best to tweet me on FMEEvangelist to get a more reliable response. Here's some information that I have: Things to Do In VancouverHere is a Safe webpage with some suggestions. This includes restaurants, activities, and similar.

Bypass access-check of some writers at the start of a workbench

I have 2 different (postgis) writers (A and B), one of which is sometimes temporary not accessible. FME checks at the start if all writers (A and B) are accessible, and if not, fails to execute the workbench.So I wonder if it is possible (e.g. by the use of a parameter specifying which (only) writer to use) to bypass the "accessibility-check" of e.g. writer A so that only writer B is being used and the workbench is still being executed? I use this in a batch-script where I "ping" to A and B, and therefore know at the start whether A and/or B are accessible.

Python compability, FME Desktop 2022 (for using ArcPy)

Hello,Recently, we have installed FME Destkop 2022.1.We are aware of the fact that FME Desktop 2022 only supports Python 64-bit. On the same machine, ArcGIS Pro 2.8 is installed.Although Esri ArcIS Python 3.7 is selected as parameter and as preferred Python Interpreter, it seems to be impossible to use ArcPy. After many attempts, still the same error appears: "Python Exception <OSError>: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application." What could be wrong? Kind regards,Pim van der Zwaag.

How to set 'maximum features to read' in Feature Reader for all selected files?

Suppose I am reading 3 files through Feature Reader and setting maximum features to read = 10. Then it is reading 10 features from 1st file and doesn't read any data from other 2 files.

i have seen a lot of write ups with this heading but none actually do what the title says. i have been able to read a kmz and get it to a writer but the .json file is empty. there is no error message, just no data when i inspect the json. i have attached the workbench. i want the user to select a kmz and the workbench write it as a json, i am using ESRI JSON because the GeoJSON will error out.

How to find the source data geometry type is annotation or not?

FME Desktop version 2022.1 (64-bit) How to find the source data (a feature class from Personal Geodatabase or File Geodatabase) geometry type is annotation (ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro based) or not?

Incrementally Z-offset all lines that intersect

I am attempting to offset all lines that intersect each other by increments of 5. Some lines have duplicate/stacked lines on top of them, as well as standard intersections with other lines. My intent is to assign all lines that intersect a differing offset (which is where the increment of 5 comes into play). I have tried creating a list on the Spatial Relator, but I am not getting my desired results. I don't have any trouble with creating the offsets through the Offsetter or 3D Forcer transformers, but I am stumped on trying to assign all intersecting lines a different offset (so they won't intersect in Z space). I would appreciate any help or ideas that can be passed along, thank you!

FME ESRI Edition Compatibility SQL Server Always On. I wondered if someone could advise on the following.

We have been working with a user of FME ESRI Edition to repoint the connections to a SQL server Always on listener in a multi subnet environment. The connection string has been configured with the Multi-Subnet Failover check box enabled (see attached) however the connection does not appear to resolve, to the multiple IP addresses registered, in parallel as I would expect for this parameter. As a result, connections are occasionally timing out. Can you advise if there are any relevant known issues with the FME release currently being used (FME ESRI Edition, 2021.1.3.0 build 21631). Also are there any additional configuration changes required to ensure the multisubnet parameter is set correctly within the connection? Any assistance with the above would be greatly appreciated.

FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll could not be loaded after installing FME Desktop 2022

What limits are there on backwards/forwards compatibility when using FME Objects .NET? I ask because I have a custom .NET application that was built using FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll (build 18567) that fails when used with FME Desktop 2022 (build 22337). This is the exception message: System.IO.FileLoadException: A procedure imported by 'FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll' could not be loaded. There were no issues on install (FME Data Inspector 2022 works as expected), and the Path environment variable appears to be set correctly. The custom .NET application worked properly with FME Desktop 2019.1.1 (build 19617).

Keep Known issues link up to date on support page

Hi there,Not sure where to post this so putting it here.Can someone please keep up to date the "Known Issues" button on the support homepage (https://community.safe.com/s/support) so it links to an article for the latest version of FME, not 2020 (https://community.safe.com/s/article/workarounds-to-known-issues-in-fme-2020x) ?

How to download multiple zip files from linux server in local starting with same prefix name (e.g. ARESFF01.341,ARESFF01.342, etc) with sftp in fme?Can we use FTPCaller?If so, how? If we can do it other way also kindly suggest.

which format should be used to save data that I want to write to PostGIS?

I would like to use the hosted (cloud) solution, but my database is behind VPC, so there is no direct access from FME to my DB.how can I save the data in the EWKT or EWKB format, so I could save it by myself to the DB , using a text file? (or a stream in websocket?) I tried using GML & GeoJson - but they both loose the geometry types and just save as multilineString

Unable to produce extruded citygml from shapefile

I'm trying to take a simple shapefile and transform it to citygml. I've found a couple solutions that suggest all I need is what it defined in my attached workspace but the output doesn't seem to honor my extruded geometry. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? And here is a picture of the workspace if that helps.

Link attributes of 2 points that are graphically linked by a line

I have 2 kind of points that are connected graphically every 2 points with a line. I would like to know how FME can be used to link the attributes of points with associated ones. I am attaching an example for better understanding.

How do you construct points along a line knowing their distance from the origin of the line?

Hello.I have a layer of lines and a table of observations on these lines.The line observation table contains the ID of the line on which the observation is made as well as its distance from the line origin. I would like to build a layer of points along the lines containing the information of the observations respecting the distance of the observations to the origin. Do you have any ideas? My research has only allowed me to create points in a regular way without being able to assign the attributes of the observations. I am a beginner in FME, thanks in advance for your answers.

Set Maximum and Minimum Coordinates

Hello, I'm experiencing difficulty transforming a .las file to Mojang Minecraft format, as I receive an error stating that the Z coordinates exceed the allowed parameters (0-255). I've found no straightforward way to manually set the maximums and minimums before transforming. I've tried to scale the .las, but the feature is imprecise and results in distorted structures. Is there a way to set minimum and maximum coordinates prior to transforming?

Fan out to SQL Server

Hello, Is there a way to 'fanout' when writing to an SQL Database? The image below shows a simplified example of what I want to achieve , I have a number of target SQL Server tables and their table names relate to the values in Col2 (I actually have dozens of target tables to write to). I'm guessing I could achieve this by writing to a format that is 'fanoutable' (e.g. Excel), then re-importing and then writing to SQL Server, but I wondered if any one knew of a more eloquent way of achieving this? Thanks, RB

Currently, all the values overlap each other, I only need whatever layer/value has the highest qpf at any given location. See the attached screenshot as an example. This one shows at the location I clicked on there are 6 layers overlapping that location (1 of 6).
