Hi, I'm prepared my fme as the picture attach. I use the transformer Offsetter to change the Z value. My sequence of the Z value is 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 etc. Can i know how to define Z offset based on requirement that I have been mention.

Hi all, I have a dataset that contains a _dirpath attribute that I would like to use as the Destination Fanout Directory. My workflow injests CSVs from multiple different folders, and I would like to output the Writer data to the same folder that the data originally came from. Does anyone know if that is possible? I can't seem to set an attribute as an input for the Destination Fanout Directory. Any suggestions?

Version - FME 2020 How to import values in the user parameter dynamically(EX. Read the data from Text file(values in the text file keeps changing)

Hi, We recently upgraded from FME Server to FME flow and I've noticed that a few workbenches that contain only one python caller and a creator, are taking up to 10 times longer. Both environments hosting Flow and FME Server are identical in specs. Here are the workspace statistics from each environment FME Server:Average Elapsed: 12 minutes 44 secondsAverage % CPU: 96%Average CPU time: 12minutes 20 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 256mb FME flow statistics:Average Elapsed: 53 minutes 42 secondsAverage % CPU: 19.4Average CPU time: 10 minutes 42 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 264mb Does FME flow utilize CPU differently when using python, or is there some setting I can change in the form workbench? I can see from the logs that simple arcpy commands are taking 10x longer and the CPU is being under utilized in FME flow. I've looked into the transformer

Is it possible to use FME to monitor servers and services that include the following: Request Failure Alarms (example includes when an internal or external website gets a 502 error) Response Time Alarms (example includes if a website takes longer to respond than usual) Available Storage on a server (example if storage gets to 20 percent then send an email notification) Server Unavailable (example is if a VM goes down) I know I can do these things using VertiGIS Analytics for the GIS side; but am curious to know what FME Form along with FME Flow can do, if it is even possible to do at least one or any of the things I list above? what transformers would be useful? maybe creating a few workspaces and publishing them to FME Flow.    

In the Desktop User Parameters dialog there is the option to "Save As User Parameter Default Values". I have server app and I would really like to use this feature so that the parameter information the user entered is retained for when they run the app again. I haven't been able to find a way to do this - is this possible? Many thanks 😁

hello everyone There are breaks between my ongoing lines. How can I combine them? I tried line combiner and line builder, but the result was unsuccessful. 

I'm working on a Traveling Salesman Problem. I've included the background and goals I'm trying to achieve.  Background: I have a topological network that I can create a route over.I have locations on the network that require maintenance.Each location has a unique minimum and maximum number of days allowed between maintenance visits.I have the speed in which the maintenance team can travel, the length of time maintenance requires, the hours per day that maintenance works, and days per week worked.The maintenance staff do not return to a starting point between visits, but travel directly from one location to the next.Goal:I want to create the ShortestPath for the maintenance vehicle that ensures that each location is visited during the timeframe allowed. Problem:I am able to create a ShortestPath between the locations, but I can not figure out how to include th

Hi!Do you know if Counter has a limit on the number that are generated (maximum lentgh)? I suppose there is not but I don't find this information anywhere.Thank you!

Hi!I have on my computer a lot of versions of FME (since 2016). I have installed FME form 2023.1.1.1 and 2023.1.2 and I have a problem with FME workbench with these 2 last versions. On my windows session, when I click on the program, a FME windows appear with messages : "checking licensed" then "loading ressources" then "loading transformers" and then "initializing main window". After this message, nothing appear. I tried with an other windows session and it work very well. Same thing with administrator rights (I'm sorry I don't know the good term in english for that). The old versions work very well. Do you have an idea about where come from the problem?Thank you!

we have different workspaces (api, emails,xml and etc)

We have a workbench that reads a CSV file on a network path that has multiple spaces . This works fine on the FME Form workbench but when published to FME Flow the spaces are reduced (there are three spaces in the path and Flow shows only 1)

I'm dealing with an error while reading data from an Intergraph GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse using FME build 23332, although this was also an issue in FME2019. The error does not give much info (see attached log file). We may get the error 3 times in a row with the same parameters, and then on the 4th run with no change it will process fine. Sometimes the error will not present at all.  This is also happening on multiple machines accessing the same network location. The error always occurs after the entry "Successfully closed GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse reader" We are suspecting a network issue, but do not know where to begin checking.

I have drill hole id's with overlapping minimum and maximum depth values. I'd like to split the overlaps. However this implies the addition of a new row with new minum depth and maximum depth values. I've unsucessfully tried building lines to get the intersections and overlaps. I've added an excel sheet with sample data and (I think) a clearer explanation of what I'm trying to achieve.

With GET /repositories/< repository >/items/< item >you can get information about items in a repository, in my case I am retrieving a workspace. In the response there's one tag named 'history', but this is not the comment you enter when committing a workspace.  Sub-type: Workspaceworkspace {...history (string, optional),... } Can I find this history I am looking for through the API? Or at least a timestamp of when the workspace was committed?

Hi everyone,  I have a some workspaces in workbench 2020.02, where I have used Creator and the filecopy writer to create new empty folders at the start of the translation. However, this no longer works in workbench 2023.1. Is this function no longer supported with filecopy?  Thanks! 🙂   

Hi @mark2atsafe​, I've read your interesting post (dated 2023-11-15) on LinkedIn about surface model in FME. Could you please share the workspace in this post? Thank you! 

 I have a unique requirement that I'm racking my brain trying to find a solution. I have a set of irregular shaped polygons, and I would like to draw a line between all unique pair of vertices. In the crude example below, the black line represents the input polygon and the yellow represents the desired result. Ultimately, after building the lines, I want to query out the longest line for additional processing.

Hello everyone..I have Laz data and I want to bring the base completely to Z = 0 without disturbing the 3D position.How can I do that?

I have a workbench that's converting 3D CAD files to 2D shapefiles, and some attribution changes. After reading in the CAD data, there's a test filter that separates the data into 4 separate paths, in which each path has a separate Shapefile it writes to.My goal is to have 1 path run, and successfully write before beginning the next path. This functionality would need to happen after the test filter separates the data out. Is there anything way to configure this? I could split this into 4 separate workbenches and automate on Flow, but wasn't sure if there's a fancy transformer that has this sort of functionality before spawning a gaggle of separate workbenches.Thank you!

Hi, I have a pdf from which I can split into vector data (points, lines, polygons) and raster (pdf_rasterized_pages). I know the paper size of the pdf (A1) and scale (1:500). I would like to save the vector data in gdb and preserve lenght, area and position of the shapes. In general, once the shapes are opened in ArcPro they should have the same geomety and dimentions as on the printed on A1 paper. I have tried scaler but the outcome did not match printed pdf. 

Hello,I have lines (linestring) that intersect forming Multilinestring. I would like to know if it possible to "force" them to keep the Linestring format? Example: here is a network with a loop (in red)On FME, I tried a deagregator which gives me 3 polylines , 3 linestring. Ok it's good! But I want juste one line and impossible for me to find how to merge these 3 lines without convert all in Multilinestring. I tried the LineCombiner but nothing happens, I still had my 3 lines.Any help would be appreciated :)Thanks you

Not sure which forum to post this in, feel free to move it if not relevant here. I'm revisiting the 12 Days of FME 2022 challenges, which were great fun last year and i wanted to challenge myself again this year. (https://community-fme-server-support.fmecloud.com/fmeserver/apps/FMEUCCommunityCafe/12Days-Details/streaming/fmedatastreaming/12Days2022/ContestDetails.fmw)  It seems that the datasets aren't available anymore though. Does anybody have the input datasets for each of the challenges that they could share please?

Hello, is there a way to test an integer's length within the TestFilter transformer? I have an integer column that can be freely populated with values, but I need to flag rows that are not 6 characters long. Is there some operation in the Test Clauses window that I can use to test for this?
