User Parameters - Can they be set up to only show up under certain conditions?

When the workspace starts I have the user select a certain attribute. Depending on which attribute is chosen I want different user parameters to come up.  So for example I have a list of six items. If they pick item 1 then the attribute manager calculates a number of values. I also want it to display different user parameters depending on which inital item is chosen I hope this makes sense? I'm just not sure if I can even do this in FME. I notice any user parameters I create always show up altogether at the beginning.

How to manually remove FME2018.1?

Uninstaller fails with "Error Code 2330", so going to have to manually clean it out looks like. An unfortunate consequence of our Corporate ICT policies setting the FME2018.1 package to automatically reinstall itself, even after the upgrade to FME2020.0 had just uninstalled it, and now I'm trying to repair the whole mess.

merge 2 building parts without connecting line?

Hello, we have several 3D buildings that need to be extended downwards. That's why we applied the extruder in conjunction with the terrain model. After that we aggregated the two parts (aggregator). However, then when we turn on the contours, there is the undesirable effect that there is a line between the 3D building and the extruder building part. (see example, highlighted in yellow) How can we remove this line?Or is there another way to extend the buildings downwards?

HTTPCaller Fail with Waze Partner Hub API

We're trying to tap into the Waze's partner hub Traffic Data using their GeoRSS XML feed. The feed downloads fine in Chrome and Postman.It's a simple GET request. But I get the following error in the log. "HTTP transfer error: Unrecognized or bad HTTP Content or Transfer-Encoding" When tested in Curl I had to include the ssl-no-revoke argument to allow it to download (might be caused by our funky certificate store). "The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate." I have "Verify SSL Certificates" set to No in the HttpCaller. Any ideas? Is it related to the ssl-no-revoke?

Populate MS-Word Template Bookmarks/Content Controls with Attributes

I've realized that we can include a template to MS-Word writer (docx). However it seems it only captures formatting from the template. Is there any way that I can populate specific Bookmarks/Content Controls based on their title/tag names with attributes?

Combining several different point clouds and Adjusting point cloud angel

So for my research, I am required to combine point clouds and have them side by side with one another to have the entire field we took data from present. Currently, whenever I combine the files they are all on top of one another is there a way to have them side by side?Also in my data, some of the point clouds are at an angle that is not correct since the lidar sensor and drone used took the data in a funky way. Is there a way to adjust the angle so it can be similar to the level with the other point clouds?

Hi, I have FME Desktop installed on a linux server. We launch FME Wrokbench via command line. Our Functional team need to troubleshoot an issue. They don't have access to the linux server.

Our Functional team doesn't have access to the linux server and therefor can't launch FME Desktop/FME inspector tool. Is there a way they can launch a URL/GUI without giving them access to the linux server? thx

Creating an ID number

I have a FME worbench that is reading an excel file and merging it with data in a SDE geodatabase. For each record in the table I need to create an ID field that consists of a consistent initial 3 letters depending on the company, then a 2 digit year, and then 4 digits. It would need to be unique as well. I would need to find the last 4 digit number used by the company and add one to it.I would then need to put this all together into one ID field attribute. Any ideas of how to do this would be appreciated!

terminate translation if one of the input tables is empty

hello,   I have a workspace with 2 tables. these tables are automatically populated. in the translation is a FeatureJoiner (left join) which joins the data from these 2 tables and "moves" it further.. Is it any possibility to stop the translation after running it if one of the input tables is empty(no records)?   Thank you Nicu

dynamic published parameter values to select files

I would like to build a server app that will use specific folder locations as dynamic choice values. I have the basic values set up as user parameters.the user selects a project name (unc folder location). Then the user selects 1 or more files in a subfolder of the selected project.I used the import button on the choice value/description. the problem is these are not dynamic. The project folder would only show folders that are already created. and the file chooser would only show the one folder used to import the values. there seems to be no good way to accomplish this. After speaking with support it seems maybe python is the only way i am going to accomplish this. However i am at a loss as to how to get started.

What's Up Wednesday (13-Apr-2022): FME User Conference and World Tour News, Hub Updates, an Historic Resources Project, and Lots of Partner News.

Welcome to the roundup of FME news for this (and last) week... FME Conference and World TourPreparation for the FME user conference in August is proceeding well.   The presentation lineup is now decided, with folks like Frederic (Using FME to Study/Preserve Marine Mammals) and myself (Raster Algebra and FME) being informed of our acceptance. The training lineup will be published soon, though I can reveal that I'm working on a course on Dynamic Workspaces, including use of the SchemaScanner.  And one other thing I'm working on is an evening Hackathon event. In short, the whole conference is going to be great and there is still Early Bird pricing for a few weeks. As Frederic says, "I'm looking forward to seeing so many of my highly-missed fme-addict friends there." The Safe Software part of the FME World Tour (the Brunch and Learn) is now complete, but registrations are still open! Why? So that you can access all of the talks and presentations from the event.   Othe
