Hi, I have installed FME desktop and server, my organization has a license server that i was able to define for the desktop client, but, i am unsure how to configure the FME server instance to that license server?  Is it not meant to work that way? Thanks, Jared

Hello,I'd like to use feature attribute in another function. something likeclass FeatureProcessor:  def __init__(self):    pass  def input(self, feature):    col1 = feature.getAttribute('col1')    col2 = feature.getAttribute('col2')    self.pyoutput(feature)  def close(self):    passdef myFunction(col1,col2) another code etc.  I do not know how I can get attributes col1 and col2 to use it in another function.. (first time using python caller) .. thanks for help.

This is how I get after entering the portal in which my fme server is running.There is a 401 error initially in the console and then also 503 and 500 

Hello, I have a wms that I'm clipping with a polygon bounding geometry. It work but the problem is that FME don't refresh the maps to the level of zooming of my bounding geometry. So It cut the whole planisphere and I have only one giant pixel as result of clipping ... how can I do to have a a detailed map ? Here is url if you want to test : http://ows.terrestris.de/osm/service

When writing data to a zip shp. file often the data doesnt comply with the 3 decimal points put down in the CoordinateRounder. It usually ends in a couple decimals and then ending on 00001. In the AttributeRounder description it states that this is an issue that can occur: The CoordinateRounder may not always behave as expected, due to known limitations in floating-point computing. I am looking for a way to always make coordinates end on 3 decimals. The data comes from an Oracle Spatial reader, which after some transformers, goes through a Generalizer and then a CoordinateRounder before writing the data as a zip shp. Hopefully anyone here can help me out?

Hi I need some help with parsing the json response from the rest server api /transformations/jobs/completed with parameter competedState: failed What I want is a complete table with all attributes except TMI and NMI Directives. From PublishedParameters I only need subsorter and its corresponding value. This is a problem I cant solve. As it is now I can get subsorter and its value but no other attributes like "timeStarted". It would be great if it was possible to parse the whole json file and get a nice table with only 1 fragmenter. I attached a workspace where the json code is embedded as an attribute. Thanks in advance if someone could point me in the right direction. 

Hi! I'm trying to download a .zip-file using HTTPCaller. The zip-file is accessed via API by an order number generated when I placed the order for the data.  The response body looks like this: [{"href":"https://download-geotorget.lantmateriet.se/download/99d120aa-9532-43a9-a5a7-6128b333bc88/files/root/anlaggningsomrade_kn0125.zip?q=_9yzl22V_4v728pM........"}] (shortened down, was way to long to post here).  The 'anlaggningsomrade_kn0125.zip' is what I'm after. Is this possible? Any help is much appreciated 🙂   

Having recently disabled older SSL & TLS versions on our servers, fme desktop/server sql connections have broken. The workaround for other applications was installing OLE DB v19. I've tested this using a blank .udl file and confirmed it works creating a db connection with v19 but not the other. How do i get fme desktop/server to recognize this new version? As the error still suggests its using the basic oledb driver. The connection string fme complains about i think should have'provider' set to MSOLEDBSQL19 instead of just MSOLEDBSQL Any suggestions are appreciated! 🙂

Hi,I have a question regarding the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner and I dont know how to solve my problem...I have multiple polygon layer which I want to overlay. The lines of the polygons are not totally coincident as different data sources are used. Many sliver polygons are created when the layers are overlayed. I would like to remove these small sliver polygons with the AreaGapAndOverlap Cleaner (it does it job well - I used a tolerance of 1 m). My only problem is, that the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner itself creates some little gaps between the polygons. Is there a way to prevent the transformer from doing it? Using Fill All Gaps does not make sense in this case, as there are some big gaps (exclaves) that I want to keep. Do you have any idea to prevent the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner from creating gaps? Or is there any other transformer which suits better?Thank you!

Hi !I have an xls file with 2 columns. One contains a code and the other contains numerics values. I would like to create an attribute that group my data when there are a break on the values and group by code. For example : code valuea 1 => group 1a 2 => group 1a 3 => group 1a 10 => group 2a 11 => group 2b 1 => group 3b 2 => group 3 I saw "AttributeRangeMapper" but I have to indicate the bounds. In my case I would like that the bounds are create automatically because my datas change every time.My values can be integer or decimal. Thanks !

Presagis Creator allows formatting of a hierarchy where polygons can be organized under groups, objects, and naming of polygons. When I read in an OpenFlight file with these attributes and output it to the FME OpenFlight writer the polygon names are all empty. Is it possible to define a hierarchy where groups, objects, and polygons can be customized instead of empty nodes? I included a generic screenshot showing how I would like to organize the FME writer output. Thanks!

I am looking to dump from results of the SQL Executor into a DB table (fields not known). Looking for ways to do it. I see there is Schema and Result port for SQLExecutor. Not sure how to use both in order to insert the data into a table.

I am trying to write a 4 digit year into an existing MySQL database. The field type is year with a length of 4. Therefore, one would think that a 4 digit integer would write into it, but it does not. I get a warning saying "MySQL Writer: Skipped feature due to invalid date/time string". This seems extremely basic, but how do I turn a4 digit integer (e.x. 2012) into a date field that MySQL will recognize as a year?

I have road events from different groups and time lines.. so the geometry doesn't always match but they want me to push them together. is it possible to just use the PathName, Start Measure and End Measure to join many events together?  Example: All Path's have3 events Weight, Height, Width. I want to be able to merge them together like Snipper or LineOnLine so I can join the Start and End Measures where they break.. If needed in Python or Transformer preferably so I can complete this on the fly from two databases to compare.  

I have a process where I determine the last ID number used for two id fields using statistics calculator. I then use an aggregator to merge the two ID's. I then bring about 100 records from another table and am wanting to add these ID's to it. But what is happening is that the two ID's are just being added as another record instead. I have tried using variable setter & retriever but those didn't work at all.

I have a problem when creating a workflow in which additional attributes are linked via an identical ID from Excel (name) and Ifc (ETL_TYPEN.NAME). The problem is that not all attributes from the Excel list are recognized and linked and the geometry is taken over in the updated IFC (Writer).

in FME 2020 the behaviour of Generic Reader changed in a way, that "Guess format from extension" for GPKG now defaults to GEOPACKAGE_RASTER instead of GEOPACKAGE (vector). This broke a workflow in our application. Why was this changed ?

Hi everyone I'm trying to make a web app that will be situated on our company VPS which is off course on remote server. We are running FME Server 2019 on local machine inside our company local network and is accessed through IP address. For the web app, I'm using some REST API code (I'm not an expert I must say) found in your "data-distribution-with-web-maps" demo where you set fmeserver url and token. Off course, setting those two is not a problem. I have also enabled CORS on FME Server. When opening webpage, web app triggers workbench but nothing happens and web developer error appears : Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https: ...As I have defined in JS file in web app, fmeserver url should start with http and by no means https protocol. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone tried anything similar and made it work?When using this app on local network, it works (CORS disabled). T

Hi Folks - I am looking to use the API to get a list of all the Web Connections on the FME server. Has anyone done this before? Thanks

I am trying to create an individual HTML file for each 'grouped by' polygon. I have the Fanout Expression set as per below with the attribute that is used in the 'group by' but I just get a single HTML file.  The attribute seems to be available to select but does not appear to be used during output. Is there something different I should be doing to get individual HTML files?

Well, it's time for all the latest FME news for the week. The FME World TourThere are many World Tour events still to come, as well as completed. The 1Spatial UK Tour visited London and tomorrow (perhaps today by the time you read this) is in Cardiff. They have upcoming events in Leeds and Glasgow too. Everyone was happy to be back in person again and to be presenting in front of others.  Also coming up, there are World Tour events in Brazil with Solutial (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), Austria with Axmann (Vienna), and Japan with Pacific Spatial (Tokyo). You know where the full list is. Don't you?! Of course, as some events are completed, their presentations appear online. Here we have some user presentations from con terra España. I don't speak Spanish but I do see mention of CityGML, Cesium, and FME Server Automations. I don't speak Dutch either, but even I can tell what "snel, sneller, snelst" means on Red Geographics world tour page. I think you can still

Hi, Is there a way to test if a polygon geometry contains curve? I dont find any transformer that explicitely achieve that. Thank you!
