Correct WKT but still rejected by the geometry replacer

I am running into something I have not ran into before: I have an XML_fragement attribute with a WKT. For example (direct copy): POINT (154791.869730325 463171.926750512) When I use the geometry replacer, set to WKT, I get a rejected feature: INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCE When I use an attribute creator, than manually paste the value (POINT (154791.869730325 463171.926750512)) and connect the geometry replacer to the new attribute it works flawlessly. Also when I try the featuremerger and merge on 'new atribute' and 'xml_fragement', nothing merges/matches. Why? They are exactly the same values (ctrl c + ctrl v), there is also no space or enter at the end of the value. FME Desktop 2022.1

I have a problem to write an Ifc-File

I want to update an ifc file with attributes. For a reason I don't know, the element to be linked is not displayed in the ifc reader. That's why I created an extra Ifc Reader with Dataviews and linked the missing attributes via the Elementid. Then I linked the attributes of the Excel list with the added attributes. The output on the second FeatureMerger is correct. Only the ifc is not written correctly. What could be the reason?

Configuring FME Server job to output locally

I have very limited experience in configuring FME Server, so this may be a softball question. I have workspace that generates a set of shapefiles, and outputs those to a directory specified in a published parameter. However, when uploading this workspace to Server, the output is only available as a download. Can FME Server be configured to output the results to the published parameter directory? In the case of this workbench, it would be a local directory.

Engine Allocation for Streams in Kubernetes Environment

I have hosted FME server in Kubernetes and trying to create a stream there.I am not able to allocate any engine to my stream from the user interface and it shows this warning. There are 2 links mentioned in the warning :https://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-server-on-docker-frequent-engine-scaling-and-jhttps://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/404-Redirect.htm The second one gives 404 error.The first one mentions about the allocation of engines to queues (nothing about streams). I also tried to check on the Engine Management page if there is any possibility to allocate engines to streams from there but no luck.Job routing rules and Engine assignment rules have queues as one of the options but not streams. There must be a way to allocate engines to streams in case of the Kubernetes deployment if I am not wrong.Can someone please help me with the options. Thanks in advance!

Zero times 60 equals 60?

Hi There, I am reading from a csv column in which the hours and minutes are spelled out as a string, and I want to calculate the total minutes value. So I created a series of new columns in Attribute Manger and used some Regular expressions to isolate the components of the string. However, when I use the Multiply function against a zero value in the string, I do not get zero. And as we all know zero times any number should always equal zero. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? (I have attached my workbench for reference). THANK YOU!

Import data into user parameter type choice ?

Hi list.I have a rather large list of choices with aliases, that I need to present to a workspace user when run. The dialog includes a button called "Import", and so I expected it to be able to read a database view with the choice values. But alas no, it reads nothing. Even though I tried to name the two view columns "Display Name" and "Value", the choice dialog remains empty.There is no immidiate help for this, so I'm asking here instead.What are the possibilities and caveats of using Import/From Dataset when populating a user parameter (type choice with alias) ?I'm using 2020.2, but it's the exact same in 2022.0.

Set environment variable for ORACLE_HOME at runtime

I'm working on a system which has Oracle Client 32Bit and 64Bit installed. The environment variable for ORACLE_HOME points to the 64Bit version. I need FME to use the 32Bit Version of the Oracle Client - just for this very FME process. Is it possible to set the environment variable temporarily at runtime (e.g. Phytin Startup Script)? How would this be done?

What's Up Wednesday (1-June-2022): FME Hub Updates, A New Certification, Fireside Chatter, Community Webinar, an FME Scavenger Hunt, Python and GDAL

Hi FME'ers,After a couple of weeks' absence, it's time for What's Up Wednesday. As you can imagine, I have a LOT of content to share this week! Sometimes it's too big to post to an FME forum, so find WUW on LinkedIn to get the full content. FME Hub UpdatesIt's the start of a new month, which means the Hub now has a list of items added during May 2022. This list includes the Unfolded format reader and writer, for which you'll need FME 2022. I've got two new transformers there: a GeographicCenterOfGravityAccumulator, which I created for use in an upcoming webinar, and a SoundexCalculator, because I found the Soundex function in the InlineQuerier doesn't work (oops).  There are other great transformers and tools to check out, but I really wanted to give a mention to Bruce Harold of Esri, who "decided to cut out the middle man" and add some interesting ArcGIS-related transformers to the Hub; like the EsriSimpleModalTripRouter. This transformer

Differences between different ways of using Stream type of Workspaces.

I have created a workspace having AzureQueueStorageConnector, which should listen to an Azure queue continuously.I am able to run it as a Job as well and create a stream as well dedicated to this workspace. I have also checked this article about the streams:https://docs.safe.com/fme/2021.0/html/FME_Server_Documentation/WebUI/Streams.htm I was wondering, what are the differences between these 2 types of running a workspace i.e.Running a stream type of workspace with normal execution flow. (from workspace run button) OR Running it as a dedicated Stream (by creating a Stream dedicated to this workspace).  I observed both of the methods listen to the queue continuously and process till the time it is running. Few of the differences I was able to find are:Streams are capable of restarting themselves, regardless of whether the job was completed successfully, failed, or the server crashed or was shut down. But normal Job executions are not capable of doing this by their own.Streams need dedic

Feature reader table selection

I have a feature reader set up so that the user selects a table and whatever table of the 8 possibilities is chosen it should write out to that table. It is reading from a file geodatabase and writing to a SDE geodatabase. There is a schemaMapper transformer for each table. How do I set up the featureReader so that once the user selects a table it will only write to that table?

Name an attribute from an user parameter's value

Hello,  I'd like to create an attribute and name it from the value of an user parameter.  I've seen that in the "input attribute" field it is possible to choose the user parameter (as seen in screenshot bellow) But then the output attribute does not react as expect. Whereas it should return the value of the user parameter, it returns the value $(annee) as attribute name. Is there any way to overpass this ? Regards,Andy METAYER

Format XLS to repeat stacked records

Anyone have any ideas on how to format XLS to repeat stacked records in groups of four (see attached screenshot). Each group of four is one record in a database, but want to format it with the name and address on top of each other. And the parcel number/zoning. All of the header info will be part of the template.  Is this possible, or will we just have to write it out linear, then do some excel magic afterward to get it into the format we want? Thanks.

FME Server Upgrade improvement suggestions:

Because of the frequent Tomcat upgrades, we're having to upgrade FME Server more frequently. When we do the upgrades we lose the apache default files fix: https://community.safe.com/s/article/FME-Server-Apache-Tomcat-Vulnerability-with-Default-Files Is it possible to either a) Include this fix in future releases FME Server or b) backup these files and the restore them when we do the backup and restore of the workbenches etc.
