Apologies if this is a dumb question! What I'm trying to do is build a dataset extraction tool for a third party in the organisation, but need to keep any login credentials secure.

FME Desktop 2022 Build 22304: The “harmonize ad filter by fme_type” option in the “geometryfilter” appears not to be available, The “harmonize ad filter by fme_type” option in the “geometryfilter” appears not to be available in the Build 22304 that’s used to be in the Build 22257         Is this by design?

i would like to know : Does the data transmitted in encrypted form? https/TLSor which encryption form is using in FME Desktop ?please ,refer me to the documentation regarding to encryption form ,if available .Thanks in advance FME 2020.2

Can GIS layers be setup via a relate in a workbench similar to how it is done in ArcMap

I'm not sure what is happening, but when I inspect a CSV the values in the CSV are not equal to the values read in by the CSV reader in FME Desktop 2021.1.0.0 Win64. Actual CSV ValuesFME Inspector As you can see it is not reading the first few digits of the easting values. Any ideas as to what might be the issue? My first thought was some sort of encoding problem, but wasn't sure. I've attached the CSV file in question.  

Hello there how could we move the blue line in order to make it parallel to the read one?

I'm restoring some data from/to a MS/SQL database, which has been stored in a PostGIS database.PostGIS lowercases all attributes, and I'm getting errors in FME when writing them to the original database, where attribute names are mixed case. The database itself uses collation Danish_Norwegian_CI_AI, i.e. Case Insensitive.FME is case sensitive, and I presume that's why it throws this kind of error:Existing table for feature type `PARKER.d_basis_attribs_kontrolflader_traer' does not have attribute with name `tr_bemaerk'. Cannot continueThe database table has an attribute TR_BEMAERK, i.e. as uppercased.How come FME doesn't respect the case INsensitivity of the target database ?It feels kinda stupid to have to rename all attributes needlessly, and no, they're all very mixed case, not all uppercase.(still) using 2020.2

Hi all, I am trying to find an FME solution to an optimisation problem. I have ‘x’ polygons of varying sizes, the combined area of these polygons adds up to ‘y’. I need to allocate these polygons across ‘z’ number of groups, each of which require a different proportion of ‘y’. For example:·        10 polygons (x) of varying sizes with a combined total area of 62ha (y) that need to be proportionally allocated across three groups (z) ·        Group 1 – needs 60% of y (37.2 ha)·        Group 2 – needs 30% of y (18.6 ha)·        Group 3 – needs 10% of y (6.2 ha) Possible solutions: I am after an optimised solution for the groupings of these polygons (in the above example, the first solution would be considered the closest to the allocation requirement). Please note, I do not need to worry about the spatial position of these polygons, I just need to determine the best group allocation of each polygon so that I end up with the closest possible required outcome for each group. Thanks!

Hello FME'ers,Here is your weekly update on all the news related to FME. New 2021 (2021.2.4)Of course, we're all looking forward to the release of FME 2022, but fixes are still made to 2021. In fact, a new version of FME 2021 was released last week, 2021.2.4. As usual, there are few highlights (because it's not meant to be a spectacular release) but you should consider looking into this if you have experienced problems with either the ArcGIS Portal Reader or Excel writer. The changelog file has more information. Dmitri and Lena's AR SpectacularOtherwise known as the Exploring Outdoor Infrastructure with AR webinar! This took place yesterday and was very successful. Congratulations to them both for pulling off some great live demos. If you missed the webinar, you can find the recording on our website, or on YouTube.  FME's Favourite TransformerThe Favourite FME Transformer contest is now into its second round of voting, and there are some close matchups.

Hello Friends, I'm new to FME. I have two shp (Line) files. one with old data and another one with new attribute field data. in the new file its falling on exactly on the top of old lines, but some places its little shifted approx. less than one meter.  I would like to transfer All attribute data to the old file from new one, and copy new lines where ever old data is not their.Not sure which are the transformers to use for this string. Hope someone can help Regards, Ps. Old data is in black color and new data in orange color

Hello !  I got a script wich is working under FME Desktop but I'd like to make it an executable. I know that this is possible but as soon as I have to set some user parameters manually when the script is executed, is it still possible ?Moreover, the script uses two different postgis DB (One for reading AND writing, the other only for reading, don't know if this information is useful tho) If you have any information on deploying a batch/exe that prompts for user inputs and keeps DB logins please let me know 🙂 Thank you in advance,Regards,An fme rookie

FME Desktop: filtering based on two fields fails to bring the expected results, In the screenshot below, I wanted to filter all features that don’t take the 11 or 10 colors and exist in “UMP_Background_Hatches”. I couldn’t figure out why the feature with 11 color is filtered                

Hi all.I would very much like to trick my FME 2020.2 into using the 2021.2 Data Inspector instead of its own.The reason is that there is a bug in DI 2020.2 wrt. background maps, which is solved in 2021.2, and our national base map repository has just switched to another service, that makes the base maps unusable in DI 2020.2.I still need to use Workbench 2020.2 , as our FME servers are still running version 2020.2.Has anyone tried this, and if so, how to do it ?I've looked at the registry, but is not sure whether this is used for this.

FME Desktop 2020: The “clipper” tool fails to generate the expected result, In the screenshot below, I wanted to clip the blue color from the red color. As there is not intersection between these two colors, the result should be the red color itself. However, the result not exactly the red color. What could be the issue here?                  The data and the work bench are attached

Hi, I am reading data from SDE and doing some joins and field mapping and I am writing data into my SDE version. I don't mean to alter Global Ids, in the destination but it changed when I write my output to the destination. i have set Preserve Global Ids to yes in the wirter parameter as well. Any support and idea to get this achieved would be appreciated! 

FME Desktop 2022: The “clip” tool fails to produce the expected result,  In the screenshot below, I wanted to clip 14 polygons from 1 polygon (the 14 polygons are contained in the 1 polygon). The expected result should be one polygon that represents all what is outside the 14 polygons. However, the clip result is shown in the 3rd screenshot What could be the issue here? The data and workbench are attached
