Hi,I am trying to make a flow where among other tasks I have to move some areas from one table to another and remove duplicates ID's for areas, but keep in 2 attributes a list of blocks (names and ID's) - like in pic attached.I thought I had a solution by using a Dissolver and put those values of ID's in a list, then using a ListConcatenator I could put them in desired new attributes. First issue I discovered is that the Dissolver didn't removed the duplicates (or not all of them) and BLOCKID and BLOCKNAME doesn't contain all values. Can you give me an idea on how to fix this issue? Thanks.Nicu 

Hi, Currently having 'fun' with the OnlineSharePointConnector transformer, this was correctly functioning on FME desktop and FME Server (both version 2021.1 ) for a me a week ago.

Hello and welcome to What's Up WednesdayWe didn't get a post last week (sorry) so you can imagine that this one has a lot of items to mention! A Community Guide to FME Best PracticesLast week I tweeted a screenshot of a workspace I was working on and talked about how it was time to do some best practice on it:  Of course, Best Practice is more than just the style of a workspace; it's also about how you go about creating a workspace and testing/debugging what you have. Anyway, I suggested perhaps we should create an e-book or similar entitled "A Community Guide to FME Best Practices" and it seemed to be a popular idea with everyone. So I'm now determined to make this a reality and will reach out soon to those folks on Twitter and anyone else who would like to cont

I am setting up a WB dynamically to migrate data from one DB to another. Each feature types has a several hundred thousands of objects. Whilst developing the WB i dont want to read the entire content of the source tables and has therefore set the reader option "Features to Read" -> "MaxFeatures to Read Per Feature Type: 10. In that way I can Create the destination tables before I run the entire process which will take a while.But even if I have set it to read 10/feature type it only read the 10 first features of the first table. I was expecting it to read 10 features from each of my 30 tables?I can also see that it is readying the entire feature class but only processing the first 10. I am confused of this feature?

Hello,When I put a gdb file in my process with the reader, its works, the file is read. But when I put another gdb file with the same reader (thanks to a parameter) it isn't read if this file hasn't the same name field. Why ? Thanks you

I've created a workspace that updates (and truncates) an ArcGIS feature service. It works great! I'd like to run it once a day in the middle of the night like 3:00 AM. I have a floating FME Desktop license and don't have access to an FME Server. I use the floating license on my desktop and laptop computers, both run Windows 10. I think that this may be more of a Windows 10 question rather than an FME question. Can anyone recommend a way for me to run an FME workspace once a day at a specific time on my desktop machine? Because I have a floating license, I think that I'll need to make sure to FME Desktop on my laptop at the end of the day. Thanks.

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.

Hello FME Community,can someone tell me where i can find documentation format attributes of AutoCAD (autocad_*). Vielen Dank.  

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.

While configuring FME server with SSL certificate(with DNS entry) its working fine for localhost and server name. When i try to access it using DNS name it gives error site is not secure and certificate mismatch addresses.

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?

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? 

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?

Hi folks,If you see this kind of message, you probably set Python variables environment.If you have PYTHON_HOME or/and PYTHON_PATH defined to ArcMap modules and you try to import arcpy from ArcPro module, you will get an issue.You need to remove this global variable and should fix your problem.

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?
