How do I configure HTTPCaller (GET) to wait for a 200 response before continuing the workbench?

In my workbench I have a WKT that I send (using HTTPCaller POST) to an API. The API then runs a background model and I need to use a HTTPCaller GET to retrieve the json results via the same API. The model can take anywhere from 5 seconds to 3 minutes to run. When the model is still processing it returns a '202' status code and when it completes successfully with a '200' code. Right now, I have various decelerators, however, this slows down the entire workspace, I would like have the HTTPCaller wait or check for a 200 response and continue the rest of the workbench immediately.

How can I count the number of concave interior angles in a polygon?

I would like some advice on setting up a workbench that could retrieve the number of interior angles in a polygon that are classed as concave (i.e. >180 degrees). So far I have the following:run my polygon featureclass through the 'convexity filter' to obtain only concave polygons. I then use the 'Orientor' to assign the right hand rule before passing it through the 'VertexAngleCalculator'. I then use a tester to filter those angle that are negative (i.e. concave).Use 'statistics calculator grouped by original polygon UID to get the total count of features.merge these attributes with the original feature class. This works fine as long as the first/last vertex in the polygon is not a concave angle. This is because the 'VertexAngleCalculator' returns a value of '0' for the start/end vertex - and therefore cannot be classified. Unless there is a simpler way to obtain all interior angles for each polygon, my thoughts would be to re-run the pr

Conditional Clipping.

Hi all,I have three layers district, plans and plots.When I cut the yellow polygon (plans) based on the red one (district) the plan will be 4 parts.My question is how can I make the cutting conditional if there is a plots cut the plan based on district (the right corner in the image bellow), otherwise don’t cut and according to this condition the plan will be just 2 parts.

How to trigger 'emailer' AFTER the Writer has finished?

I have a scenario where I have a HTML report generator, it saved the report on a local disk. Once this HTML report is saved I then wish to send an email with the HTML report as an attachment, but as the Writer doesn't have an output port, I cannot trigger the emailer this way. How do I tell the emailer to run once the Writer has finished?

How do I pass parameters from FME Server to FME Workspace 2021 if special characters are no longer allowed?

Hello,We have been using FME Desktop for a number of years and have just recently started wit FME Server and I am not sure I fully understand how all of the pieces go together. I was working my way through the Invasive Species tutorial and got to where you pass the 'webhook.feature' from FME Server to an FME Workspace to complete the workflow. My issue is we are using FME Desktop 2021 and with the new User Parameters I cannot create a User Parameter with a '.' in it. As far as I understand the 'webhook.feature' is what I am trying to pass into the workflow but FME Server automatically created the 'webhook.' syntax while FME Desktop no longer allows for the '.' Please excuse my very basic question about user parameters but am I not trying to create a user parameter called 'webhook.feature' to grab what's coming in from FME Server or am I totally out to lunch as to how things are passed back and forth with FME Server and Desktop? Any

Clip with multiple overlaps

Hi, I have 3 polygons. (Print screen; purple) Project A, Project B and Project C. The polygons overlap. In addition, I have another layer consisting of polygons. These are roads. (Print screen, gray). Now I want to assign the project name to each road object. So if a road belongs to 3 projects I want to get 3 road objects, each with a different project name. How do I do that?With a spatial relator, the road section that falls within 3 objects gets the same project name 3 times instead of 3 different project names. Clipper does not clip on al the 3 object bounderies.

Accumulating attributes on a point from multiple input polygon sources

I have three polygon shapefiles, they all contain a column called GUID, this column is unique, the shapefiles often overlap. I also have a point shapefile, these points will generally fall within 1 or Many polygons. I am trying to end up with a table similar to the one shown in my sketch. Each point feature should have one or more GUID in it... I am sure there is a simple process to do this in FME, currently I have an overly complex looking scenario that isn't working, I am really over thinking this one.

Create a User Parameter to add database connection.

I am running a workspace with SDE readers and writers. It has designed to run on one market. I need to run the same workspace on other markets with a new database connection and I was wondering if I could set user parameters to input SDE connections and it will change data in feature readers accordingly. I tried to create a user parameter that allows users to create a database connection, but it did not change the connections in Feature Reader. I still see my old connection.

PointOnAreaOverlayer not working

I have a basic workbench where I have points stored in an ESRI ArcGIS Online Point Feature Layer, and I have an ESRI Enterprise SDE Polygon Feature Class. 99% of my AGOL points fall within a SDE polygon. I have created a simple workbench with two readers (AGOL and SDE as previously described), as my screenshot shows, the points fall within the polygon areas, but the tool is not returning a single overlap whereby a point sits on a polygon, yet the screenshot clearly shows the point within the polygon. See '_overlaps' column in screenshot are all 0 Is there something basic I am missing? I just want each point to have an attribute outlining the polygon it is within.

Error running translation when trying to aggregate CAD files grouped by filename.

I am trying to do something that seems completely benign, which is to aggregate CAD file features by their filename. Instead, it gives a generic error after processing the 6 dwgs selected. Please see the attached log file, which was created with debug on. Any ideas? Is this something you should not do in general? Using just a REAL DWG Reader and the Aggregator. Any insight is appreciated.

InlineQuerier issues when FME Server is installed on Linux?

hello, I am deploying a script which uses InlineQuerier Transformer which executes SQL queries against xlsx files "coming" from another system.

Hi Team, How I can change the depth resolution in SnS workflow? When I model the horizons I see many bores where the markers are collocated. When I select "Edit Well Markers" all looks good.

The problem is where the markers are closer than approx 10 m each other. Gocad tells me these are collocated markers. How is it possible to fix? I do not want to discard the bores from the model.

How to read data from network location in fme server

we have run FME server on windows. Here we used an UNC path as the input folder parameter for the workbenches. This allowed us to store the data that we would like to process on a (windows) network share. Another benefit is that we are able to run the workbench in FME Desktop with the same parameters as in FME Server, since we do not rely on the FME_SERVER_* parameters in the workbench. We are now migrating to a FME Linux / Docker installation, and the UNC path solution does not work anymore. We are looking for a way to just change the content of input parameter, and still access the data on the (windows) network share. I can't find the instructions on setting this up. Would we need to mount the windows network share from the linux server? Additional questions: Just mounting the windows share from the linux host is not sufficient. Is it possible to access this mount on the linux host from within the FME server docker by using bind mounts?

What's Up Wednesday (30-Mar-2022): The World Tour Starts, New Webinars Listed, a Fireside Chat, and Customer Stories Revamped. Plus one final chance to vote for FME's Favourite Transformer.

Hello FME'ers,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday The World Tour StartsThe FME World Tour is off to a flying start with a virtual event held by Locus in New Zealand. Today is the final day and I'm scheduled to appear as part of a round table discussion. Of course, there are many more events to come, with Safe's own "Virtual Brunch and Learn" beginning next Tuesday (5th). And while Red Geographics don't have the same supercar (is that a 2CV?) they definitely have the colour-coordination done well, just as you'd expect from a team of cartographers. So visit the full schedule to see what events - both in-person and virtual - you might wish to attend. What's Under the Hood?If you want to see what's under the hood (or bonnet) or FME and take a peek into the engine, then I can recommend an upcoming webinar called, well... Lifting the Hood of the FME Engine. That's myself and my colleague Andrea who are presenting, and we hope to cover in a bit mor

Access "token" not found for connection (Google Sheets)

The above before the parentheses is the error and following up on the solution, I have a web connection that I'm trying to establish in FME Server. When I go through the steps to authenticate, I get the attached dialog. I do not understand what this is telling me. It says to "Navigate to FME" but this dialog came from FME server (after logging into Google) so why isn't it just using it. I do not understand where to put the authorization code. I found these instructions that cover "Managing Web Services" but the Web Service already exists and I don't feel comfortable pasting over what is there because I didn't create it (2nd screenshot).https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/WebUI/Web-Connections.htm
