Try AI Assist in FME 2023.1

Did you notice "AI Assist" has been added to PythonCreator/PythonCaller in FME 2023.1?I tried it.It's not a question, just a chat. It would be nice if you can share your experiences on the AI Assist.Create a new method to calculate coordinates of the extents for a web map tile.AI returned:def calculate_tile_extents(x: int, y: int, z: int) -> tuple: """Calculates the extents of a web map tile given its x, y, and z coordinates.""" n = 2.0 ** z lon_left = x / n * 360.0 - 180.0 lat_bottom = math.degrees(math.atan(math.sinh(math.pi * (1 - 2 * y / n)))) lon_right = (x + 1) / n * 360.0 - 180.0 lat_top = math.degrees(math.atan(math.sinh(math.pi * (1 - 2 * (y + 1) / n)))) return (lon_left, lat_bottom, lon_right, lat_top)Good, but I want to convert latitude, longitude to x, y in EPSG:3857 finally.Create a new method to convert latitude and longitude to x and y in EPSG:3857.AI returned:import pyproj def lat_long_to_xy(lat, long): in_proj = pyproj.Proj(init='epsg:4326')

After upgrade to 2023.1.2 FME Form from FME Desktop 2022.2 SQL Server Non Spatial Writer start writing empty attribute for all text fields but Datetime field still populating.

After upgrade to 2023.1.2 FME Form from FME Desktop 2022.2 Microsoft SQL Server Non Spatial Writer start writing empty attributes for all text fields but Datetime field still populating. Have anyone encountered this issue before? I tried changing TYPE to text, varchar_max, char, non of these works on FME Form 2023.1.2I have replaced that writer, replaced the workspace with brand new canvas, still no luck. But when I run the same exact workspace in FME Desktop 2022.2 the table populates fine. To make it even more confusing, within the same workspace I have another SQL Server writer but it just goes to another table, both version are able to populate all records.Something interesting I saw on the log for 2023.1.2 version is that before it showed 11 record written to the table, 120 attributes were truncated. (not sure why?), but in 2022.2 version there's no warning on this issue.I also attached log files from both versions.

Read content of Web App / Esri Portal

Hi, I am just wondering if it is possible to read the content of Web App published to Esri Portal. I want to know what layers have been grouped in which layer group. I think ArcGISOnlineConnector has to be used, but I can only get the general information (even after exposing all available attributes). The Web Application has multiple layer groups with different layers included.

PowerPointStyler and PowerPoint Writer

I'm working with the PowerPointStyler and PowerPoint Writer for the first time, and have gotten pretty good results. I'm applying statistical analysis to my data, and then outputting these statistics as a bar chart to a pptx. My template pptx has graphical images as headers and footers of the slides. One issue I'm experiencing is that the bar chart it creates is the entire size of the slide. So I'm getting overprints with the chart and the template graphics. Is there a way shrink the graph to a custom size from the transformer/writer in FME? Secondly, I'm wondering about the text size of the labels within the chart. I don't see a way to change the size of the labels from FME. Am I overlooking that functionality?

How to extract coordinates of start and end line and get the relates id of each point (start/end)

Hello , i am confused in my workspace .i would like to extract the coordinates of start point and end point of the lines .So I used coordinates extractor index 0 , and other coordinates extractor index -1 .so I got the coordinates .but how I know , this coordinates belong for which point id ( I mean which side of line is start and which side is -the end ) and depends on what ?my target to get the coordinates and the relates points id to it .I would like to get theses attributes ID line | id point start | coordinates (x)start | coordinates (y) end | id point end |coordinates (x) end |coordinates (y) end as example .see picture , I need to extract the coordinates of each line ( start and end ) and know which id of the point that relates to this coordinate Fme 2021

Is it possible in fme flow to configure the proxy settings of the web application using the API or in another way outside of the application?

We would like to automate all the steps in deploying and configuring FME FLOW. Most of the steps in the application itself can be done via the API, however there is no option to do this for the proxy settings. We have tried many things already:-Setting the environment variables in windows-Running mcd-scripts to set the proxy for windows and FME itself (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Using_FME_Server_wit)-Looking all over the v3 & v4 API documentation-Looking in all the FME flow config files-adding the proxy settings in the server.yml file in the tomcat folderAll above didn't work So do you still have a suggestion? We assumed it might have to do with security that it is not so easy. Thanks in advance, Matthijs

Writer not working, it used to but not now. probably due to type of format per column?

New to FME. I can't figure out why my writer (a .gdb) isn't writing anymore. I built a step by step PointOnArea inspection on 4.5mil addresses against specific shapefile polygons. I keep all 4.5mil and I just add a column that represents each polygonarea. In AttrMgr I reassign the 1's and 0's to Yes or NO. Everything runs awesome until I try to write the data. It stops immediately. The transformer message is very long but pretty much says something is wrong with every column and row.

Combining Maps With Clikable Links in One PDF File.

Hello FME community, I am new to working with PDFs in FME and Python. I have two input files as following: 1. The first file is a PDF named “all_maps.pdf” with around 1000 pages. Each page represents a single map, and the page number serves as the ID for each map. 2. The second file is a shapefile named “main_map.shp.” It contains mesh squares for the entire area, and each square represents a map in the PDF file with a unique attribute called “ID.” This ID corresponds to the map ID (page number) in the PDF file. My aim is to combine the outputs of both datasets into a single PDF file, totaling 1001 pages. The primary map in the “main_map shapefile” should be on the first page, followed by the other 1000 maps, each with clickable links for every square on the first page. The objective is for the user to click on a specific square and navigate to the corresponding map in the same file. For instance, if the user clicks on square number 60, the PDF should scroll down to page number 61

How to make Heat Maps/Hot Spot Maps in KML using FME Workbench

Hi all,I'm new to FME and there is a lot to learn. I have been trying to research into how to generate a heat map (Hot Spot Map) in KML for Google Earth using FME Workbench (2019.2). I can't find an approach or forum that explains how to do it. Could anyone provide some tips on the process of transformers required to generate this? I currently have all my data plotted on Google Earth, I want to transform the plots into heat maps of dense areas. If anyone has knowledge on this, I would love to discuss this. Thanks in advance!

Visual Preview has filter but gives me more rows/records than what I'm filtering on. Why?

I saw a filter area in Visual Preview and wanted to inspect my data to make sure I got the same number of rows as my source data has which was 92,688. I did not. I'm not sure why. I filtered on the column that has 92,688 entries, but what was returned was 93,231 (543 empty rows/records). I have no empty rows in any of my source data either. I'm using FeatureJoiner to bring over a column that was not in my original data. The two source files have a common attribute: LocationID. The Source file has 4,500,626 rows, and my joining source file has 92,688. When I joined the data it came back with the 4,500,626 rows with my added column and data (92,688). So why does my filter show 543 blank rows more?

Dealing with Gaps and Overlaps in Land Use Data - Need Help!

Hi,I'm working with land use data derived from satellite imagery, and I've encountered a persistent issue with gaps and overlaps. I've already use TopologyBuilder and AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner transformer in FME, and while they've resolved some areas effectively, there are still instances where gaps persist, and some areas have been unintentionally cut off.I've experimented with reducing the tolerance values, but the problem persists. Has anyone faced similar challenges, and do you have any suggestions or alternative approaches to address this issue effectively?Your insights and expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a way to get all VertexIndices at once from a mesh?

I am trying to extract getVertexIndices from a mesh and I have to implement a loop when I use the getVertexIndices() method. Also, I am getting different sizes of the list coming through the getVertexIndices() method. Is there a way to get the list of all vertex indices at once and of uniform size? @daveatsafe @Takashi Iijima @Hans van der Maarel

Hi, I am currently using FME Form 2023.1.1.0. I found out that I can not directly add deployment parameters in the shutdown python script.

As workaround I can create user parameter as intermedia parameter then get it accessed by shutdown python script. But I am more like to find the way to let shutdown python script to DIRECTLY access deployment parameters. Any tip?Thanks,Daniel
