Hallo FME community,I have a line and there are vertices on it. I want to have vertex as point. (exactly a tool like "Feature Vertices To Points" in ArcGIS) I used Intersector and topologybuilder for this and they don't exactly give me the vertex. Attached you find the pictures.     

In print it is possible to visualize the line created, totally without logic, and in red what would be the appropriate route.

I have XML file that contains GEOMETRYCOLLECTION for each object and it might contain lines, points, areas. I have this GEOMETRYCOLLECTION already in attribute but how to create multiple features out of those text geometries?

I am using FME Desktop 2021.2I pass my aws credentials to the s3connector through user parameters. The user parameters are all password type parameters.I am having no issue with the Access Key ID, or Secret Access Key but I am experiencing an issue with the Session Token.I'm finding that passing the session token as a password user parameter causes the following rejection:`fme_rejection_message' has value `S3Connector: There was an error connecting to Amazon S3: 'An error occurred (InvalidToken) when calling the GetObject operation: The provided token is malformed or otherwise invalid.'. Confirm that your credentials and region settings are correct. Some regions are not publicly available - contact AWS for more information'If I pass the session token as text type user parameter then I do not get this rejection and the workspace continues with the download from s3.   

Hello there I have a 20K features each feature has an attribute with Long text content each text with diffirent word count , we need to compare features to each other and extract the text features that have similarity ,Any way to do this with FME Thanks

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. There is also the community page from 2017 that also has some suggestions. Official Event ActivitiesOfficial activities include: SoccerCyclingYogaFun RunHackathon"Rec Room" activities You can find full details on the conference website. MessagingThe EventMobi app has an Activity Feed where you can post messages:     ...and you can click on a user and send them a personal message too:  It doesn't look great for group chats, especially private ones. I recall most people used WhatsApp during the last conference.  So... I've created a

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.

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.

I have 2 files: dgn1 (main data) dgn2 (reference) The two files should be checked against each other for duplicates. In the end, the dgn2 should be recreated without the duplicates contained in dgn1. Please help. Thanks.

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.

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?

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!

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. 

How to highlight in the workbench canvas in FME desktop the route of a chosen entity? Through which transformers this entity has passed.

Hallo FME community,I have a network consisting of interconnected lines. on the other side I have some points lying on the line. I need to cut out my network based on these points and the line between two points must be aggregated with each other. Also, PointOnAreaOverlayer couldn't help me.I would be grateful if someone can help me how to do this process.  

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).

Hi folks, I'm just wondering if there is any interoperability for SAP Business Objects Web Intelligence - the data is stored in 'universes' and I want to be able to access that data using FME. Many thanks, Aaron

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) ? Thanks,Marc

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.

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

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.

I have an old autocad drawing which contains static labels in the 'Banen_Detail-regnr' layer.I wish to convert this to dynamic labels with map annotation templates.In case an object's metadata value (from the Object Data) changes I wish to update this label automatically (CMD: _mapannrefresh / Stringsonly) I can find the attributes values in fme_attrib_info{}.field_name & _value but I cannot write this to a block nor can i link it to the object.

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. 

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.
