SFTP Caller - Shows single character in attribute called untill i manually sort the column.

This is how the initial output from my ftpcaller looks like ( calling a csv to attribute)and this is how it looks like when i sort it by file contents.Any transformer that i use after calling the data uses the first screenshot, thereby inhibiting me from automating any process.I have to download to file, open and save it and then re add it to a second script to manipulate it and push it to AGOL ( which is my end goal)

Parsing floating license logs

I'm looking at some floating license logs for FME, hoping to build a reporting tool for it. What I've noticed is several cases where one user/machine checks out a number of licences in a short amount of time and check them back in after a while:I assume this is either the user starting multiple instances of one of the FME application on the same machine (or Workbench and Data Inspector) and/or using a WorkspaceRunner. Can anybody confirm that? And more importantly, does every checkout correspond to a checkin? I also assume that as long as there is at least one checkout active for a user/machine that counts as a concurrent license being used, correct?

Split dataset into two streams. One, where points at shared locations. Two, where points are the only ones there.

Hello Community, I have a points dataset containing 17 records. Some at stacked at shared locations. Some are isolated in one location…  I need to separate this into two different streams. Stream one: all records that are at shared locations (i.e: sharing an XY co-ordinate pair)… Stream two: all records that are the only records at that location…   How is this achievable? Thanks,

Message Parameter Text Format

Hi,I was wondering if there is a way to format text that is used in the "Message" User Parameter in FME Form. There is no Text Editor available for the "Message Configuration" option and when I use the Parameter in a FME Flow App, line breaks are removed, although they show up when prompted in FME Form. Is there a way to keep line breaks?

Unable to output Planning Overlays against Properties - either not all show or I get duplicates.

I have an FME workflow that extracts planning overlays against the cadastre/properties. Some properties could have 5 or more planning overlays. I am currently using AreaOnAreaOverlay transformer and then a ListExploder to get all planning overlays against each property, otherwise not all overlays appear for some reason. ListExploder seems to show all overlays against each property but it duplicates certain overlays. It doesn't matter which transformer I use to remove the duplicates, the result still has duplicates. Also, when joining the result to the rest of my workflow I have a feeling it chews up too much memory due to the listexploder as I get a non-descript translation error, which online forums suggest it is due to memory usage. What's the best way to show all distinct overlays without duplicates?

Setting a dynamic Destination Fanout Directory

Hi all, I have a dataset that contains a _dirpath attribute that I would like to use as the Destination Fanout Directory. My workflow injests CSVs from multiple different folders, and I would like to output the Writer data to the same folder that the data originally came from. Does anyone know if that is possible? I can't seem to set an attribute as an input for the Destination Fanout Directory. Any suggestions?

Python Caller running 10x slower in flow than FME Server

Hi, We recently upgraded from FME Server to FME flow and I've noticed that a few workbenches that contain only one python caller and a creator, are taking up to 10 times longer. Both environments hosting Flow and FME Server are identical in specs. Here are the workspace statistics from each environment FME Server:Average Elapsed: 12 minutes 44 secondsAverage % CPU: 96%Average CPU time: 12minutes 20 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 256mb FME flow statistics:Average Elapsed: 53 minutes 42 secondsAverage % CPU: 19.4Average CPU time: 10 minutes 42 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 264mb Does FME flow utilize CPU differently when using python, or is there some setting I can change in the form workbench? I can see from the logs that simple arcpy commands are taking 10x longer and the CPU is being under utilized in FME flow. I've looked into the transformer and can't find any processing settings - Is there a setting in FME flow that I need to configure? I can't figure out why

Monitoring Servers and Services

Is it possible to use FME to monitor servers and services that include the following: Request Failure Alarms (example includes when an internal or external website gets a 502 error) Response Time Alarms (example includes if a website takes longer to respond than usual) Available Storage on a server (example if storage gets to 20 percent then send an email notification) Server Unavailable (example is if a VM goes down) I know I can do these things using VertiGIS Analytics for the GIS side; but am curious to know what FME Form along with FME Flow can do, if it is even possible to do at least one or any of the things I list above? what transformers would be useful? maybe creating a few workspaces and publishing them to FME Flow.

Can the option to "Save As User Parameter Default Values" be set in a Server App?

In the Desktop User Parameters dialog there is the option to "Save As User Parameter Default Values". I have server app and I would really like to use this feature so that the parameter information the user entered is retained for when they run the app again. I haven't been able to find a way to do this - is this possible? Many thanks 😁

How to include travel time and time-windows into the Traveling Salesman Problem in FME?

I'm working on a Traveling Salesman Problem. I've included the background and goals I'm trying to achieve.  Background: I have a topological network that I can create a route over.I have locations on the network that require maintenance.Each location has a unique minimum and maximum number of days allowed between maintenance visits.I have the speed in which the maintenance team can travel, the length of time maintenance requires, the hours per day that maintenance works, and days per week worked.The maintenance staff do not return to a starting point between visits, but travel directly from one location to the next.Goal:I want to create the ShortestPath for the maintenance vehicle that ensures that each location is visited during the timeframe allowed. Problem:I am able to create a ShortestPath between the locations, but I can not figure out how to include the earliest and last dates that the locations should be visited in the algorithm.

Problem lauching FME form

Hi!I have on my computer a lot of versions of FME (since 2016). I have installed FME form 2023.1.1.1 and 2023.1.2 and I have a problem with FME workbench with these 2 last versions. On my windows session, when I click on the program, a FME windows appear with messages : "checking licensed" then "loading ressources" then "loading transformers" and then "initializing main window". After this message, nothing appear. I tried with an other windows session and it work very well. Same thing with administrator rights (I'm sorry I don't know the good term in english for that). The old versions work very well. Do you have an idea about where come from the problem?Thank you!

SQL Server - unexpected and intermittent error

I'm dealing with an error while reading data from an Intergraph GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse using FME build 23332, although this was also an issue in FME2019. The error does not give much info (see attached log file). We may get the error 3 times in a row with the same parameters, and then on the 4th run with no change it will process fine. Sometimes the error will not present at all.  This is also happening on multiple machines accessing the same network location. The error always occurs after the entry "Successfully closed GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse reader" We are suspecting a network issue, but do not know where to begin checking.

How to split minimum and maximum depth overlaps in drill hole values with the same ID number.

I have drill hole id's with overlapping minimum and maximum depth values. I'd like to split the overlaps. However this implies the addition of a new row with new minum depth and maximum depth values. I've unsucessfully tried building lines to get the intersections and overlaps. I've added an excel sheet with sample data and (I think) a clearer explanation of what I'm trying to achieve.
