Currently, we have FME Desktop 2012 installed in our system. I would like to know, that if I install FME desktop 2020.2 in the same system, will the activation key remain same or will it differ? Please suggest.

Hi friends, I would like to filter roads (Name) that passes through more than 2 suburbs (Suburb). I do not see a straight solution in Tester. Can anyone please give me a clue to about this issue? best regards,FS

I m trying to get the data from KMZ and push it to the ArcGIS portal everything is fine but getting errors in the writer<class 'FMEobjects.FMEAggregate'> cannot be converted to esriGeometryPolygonanyone knows where I'm wrong

We have a FME server installation which has been active for a couple of years now without issues. Today I got a message from our sysadmin that the machine where FME server is installed is running out of disk space.It turns out that in the Postgress database that is installed with FME server large files were created. I can't find any logging that would explain how and why these files were created. Everything appears to be running smoothly. Does anyone know a possible cause for this and how to remove these files in a responsible manner? Edit: So, I have been able to connect to the Postgress database using PgAdmin4, installed with fmeserver. It appears that since some time every second a couple of error messages are written in the table fme_sysevent_history. That table is now 11 Gb. So that mystery is solved 🙂 (apparently it has something to do with https://community.safe.com/s/article/FME-Server-Engine-ERROR-Missing-or-expired-workspace-chaining-context ) So I'd like to t

I have a series of PDF documents that contain a map that came from the ArcGIS Map Series tools (over 2000 in all). I am reading each of the PDF's in and converting to BMP and saving the images to a local drive so I can use the images in a HTML report.  Rather than store the images locally, I was wondering if there was a way to convert the images to base64 and save the base64 as an attribute and then just use that attribute in the HTML document? Is this possible? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I have simple workbench, which pulls data from Oracle Spatial and writes the data into Postgres Dynamic Writer. The workbench when ran, throws the following error,"Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Type Definition 'd_y_n' was requested, but not defined. Please visit https://www.safe.com/supportGEODATABASE_SDE writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsFeatureReader (QueryFactory): A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details"The attribute manager is used to match the name of the fme_feature_type_name and the dynamic writer featureclass name ,The dynamic writer has the following parameters as shown in the image, I couldn't figure out what mistake am I making here. Could any one please help ? Thanks in advance.  

I have a DWG file I'd like to read into FME to extract certain information from. When I add the file in a Reader and choose to read Individual Feature Types, I get >100 different Feature Types, but almost all of these are empty (ie have no features in them when I run everything). Is there a way to easily select and delete these empty Readers, or alternatively to tell FME to only add those which have features in them in the first place? I have tried using the PURGE command in AutoCAD to clear any layers with no features in prior to reading the file in FME, but this doesn't seem to have done anything - I have very little CAD experience so it could definitely be that I've done this incorrectly.

Hai dears i am new to the FME please guide me to explore. here, I have a file geodatabase in that some feature class having physical status and others not, here i need to transfer physical status is null feature and the same other feature class also to be transferred which is not having physical status with in the AOI. which transformer is best please guide me.

I'm trying to add a esri sde geodatabase reader to a workbench without an sde connection file. I have an example workbench I got from someone else, (but who left the company) with a geodatabase reader where I can just fill in the user credentials and server instance, and then it will read the database.  So in te example above a new connection file is not needed. However, if I try to add a new reader I can only add one when I provide it with a sde connection file. Can someone tell me how to get parameters like in the picture with an esri sde geodatabase reader?

Hi all,  Does anyone know the expected release date of FME Desktop and Server 2022.1?  We are planning our next upgrade from 2021.1 and I want to assign the upgrade to a quarter in our Life Cycle Management planning.  I don't want to risk that the software is not available.  Thanks, Annette

Example. I have 1 linestring going into the object and 1 linestring coming out from the object. Use case 1: I should simply shorten both linestrings so that there will be a buffer around object. So I should shorten linestring 1 from the end and linestring 2 from the start Use case 2: I should cut both linestrings using area and then shorten all 4 a bit next to the area. But how do I know which way the linestrings are and how to shorten specifically from the end or from the start?

Can I use polyline (.shp file) and convert them to 3d display them with AR(FMEAR) ?

I have created 3d tileset combining many tilesets. I can see the parent geometry error, but for child tilesets geometry error is missing. How can I add geometry error for child tilesets? Please help me if someone have resolved this kind of issue.

I have a WMTS that works fine in QGIS, but which I can not get to work in FME Desktop (2021.2 and 2022.1). I start the WMTS-reader, use the following address: https://tiles1.geoserve.eu/Mosaics/tieserver/20220531_20220416_SV_RD_8bit_RGBMosaic_50cm_Nederland/wmts and than I get this error: .tmp' exists but could not be opened. File contents may be invalid, or the file format may not be supportedWorker 1780 > Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'WMTS' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See logfile for more information  Parameter settings are chosen from the layer itself:format: Image/pngTilematrix: GooflemapscompatibleTile resolution: 18 I did try other resolutions. Again: It works fine in Qgis

Getting an error when running a translation from LAS to LAZ format. Could not load module 'C:\\Program Files\\FME\\plugins/LIDAR_FME.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' Don't think it affects the output. Just wondering if it needs to be fixed? FME(R) 2022.0.0.1 (20220505 - Build 22339 - WIN64

Post upgrade of desktop --- should we replace all the reader and writers or are these upgraded to latest version automatically?

I would like to incrementally download features including attachments (jpg images) using the ArcGIS Portal feature Service Reader. I want to do this by filtering the feature creation date using a tester. This works fine but when I check the option to download the attachments, it takes an enormous amount of time. It's a large datset and I only want to download some of the most recently added data. Is there any way to perform the tester operation first before downloading the attachments?

Writing data to the DGNV8 writer I use a Seed file where the geographic coordinate system is well defined.In addition to the Seed file I defined the coordinate system also in the writer itself, and all data handled in the workbench are going through a reprojecter transformer. The outcome shows the data in the right projection, but it is not reflected in the DGN files properties. What is the right way to get the coordinate system written into the output DGN file?

Is there a way to automate map creation in FME for Esri? I've looked through the documentation and can't seem to find anything.

Hi, I know this is probably very simple but cant think of an easy way to do it. Create faces from points centered at the point. lets say i want 1x1m big faces, thought of creating same amount of faces as points and just offset but there must be a way to convert my input points to faces instead. I used FaceReplacer before but it wont accept points I tried extrude 3 times, x y and z, but then I get correct results sure but with weird middle line that I dont want. I want a solid block/box with a certain x y and z measure result not favorable

i am trying to Transpose Name fields as a Column and Value are valesi tried attribute creater and data coming like this its sholud b in one row

I have a series of raster files of infrared aerial imagery. I would like to intersect them with a set of polygons in a shapefile and return the average (or frequency) of the RGB channels in the rasters. Could anyone advise if this is possible please? ThanksRob

I am trying to read a custom created attribute from BIM360 with the AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector. The BIM360Connector has the option to select some attributes under the "Output Attributes" -> "Attributes to add" option but these are only the standard attributes that Autodesk supplies. I have created an attribute on our BIM360 environment called "InladenGIS" with the value Yes on a specific file. Is it possible to read this attribute value when using the List option on the AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector transformer in FME? If not, is there a possible workaround using the HTTP callers and are there plans to support custom BIM360 attributes in the future?  

We have 2 workbenches which we call 'outer' and 'inner' for our processes. The 'outer' workbench gets parameters and then passes them to the 'inner' workbench for processing. If we are running this in fme workbench, we use a workspace runner to trigger the second process. If we are running this in FME Server, we use an FMEJobSubmitter to trigger the second process (which is also published on FME Server). There is a user parameter to distinguish if it is running on desktop or server and a filter to direct the data to the correct transformer.  Running from FME desktop runs the processes successfully with the workspace runner. We are also successful running the 'outer' from desktop and triggering the 'inner' using the FME Server Job Submitter.  When we run the 'outer' on FME Server, we get a very vague error from FME Server: 2022-06-23 10:43:09| 1.0| 0.0|WARN |FMEServerJobSubmitter (ServerFactory): FME Server error: `Error communicat
