Are Server Apps able to capture images that are uploaded by a user?

Hey, I have a Server App setup using my FME server where it allows users to select a location on an interactive map, and enter details into a text box.  I would love to expand this to also allow the user to upload n images to be associated with this form submission. I have been looking for a tutorial for guidance, but they all seem to be setup around the user submitting a document like a CSV with data to be extracted and processed, mine is simpler than that, I just want to 'move' the images to a resource directory for future reference, but this 'move' process is where I get stuck. EDIT: So after stepping away from my computer and coming back I think I have worked out the process, but the output file is 'corrupt' and the image cannot be viewed. Is there anything specific I need to have setup so that files are output exactly as they are uploaded?

I am using WFS reader. As data is fairly large and our firewall breaks the download process , I am trying to setup WFS Output Format as SHAPE-ZIP. But I can't work out how to get the zipped shapefile into the next step.

I have tried to add feature reader after the WFS reader, it did not work. I then tried to use python caller to unzip the shapefile first. But it looks like the zipped shapefile gets deleted after wfs reader finishes. Has anyone successfully used SHAPE-ZIP as WFS reader output format? how do you get that data into the next step?

How can I "fan out" unknown attributes in a workflow?

Let's say I have data with an attribute "A" which is an integer. I want to process all incoming features with the same attribute the same way (example: check for overlapping geometries within that group of features). But I do not know beforehand what that number will be. How do I do that in FME? Looking for something like AttributeFilter, but with unknown attributes.I suspect the "group-by" option can do this for some tools, but I'm not sure how to apply it for this problem.

Why is there no FME desktop 2021 training available online?

Hello everyone,I am probably posting in the wrong forum section. If that is the case, I am sorry for that.  I was wondering one thing. Normally, there is a FME Desktop training available for every year on the following link: https://www.safe.com/training/recorded/. But for some reason there is no FME desktop 2021 available on this link. Is this only for 2021 the case or does it mean that FME desktop trainings will not be made available anymore online from now on?

Find similar records and merge them to one

I have a table called PROJECTS with some records sharing similar names. The objective is to find these records and merge them to one if possible. SamplePROJECTS table with Field1, Field2, Field3  From the above table, I want to look into Field3 and find similar names, such as Paper Company, Paper Company. and Paper Co and merge these into a single record. They are not exactly duplicates, but share a similar name. There are more records with similar names, so I can't hard-code Paper Company because there are more records alike that share similar names.  What transformers can I use to complete such task? Thank you.

Creating geojson with JSONtemplater

Hi, I'm currently trying to create geojson with the JSONTemplater to get a txt file at the end of the process. I'm really close to get it but there is something I cannot work around.

i would like to change the parameter value in a Server App by passing an attribute at runtime

I have two Workspaces. One creates a KML file of points in countries around the world the KML contains an html popup. The popup presents a link to a server app, the server app generates a static HTML Page for that country. I want to change the text "country parameter" to the country that the popup is in.The goal is to create the html only at run time.

3D Building - Extrude vertices with different elevation values

My question is similar to this one: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hbnqSAA/extruding-building-heights-from-3d-terrain-model-creates-sloped-buildings and Takashi's answer helped me to progress. However, in Takashi's answer, the z value of each vertex is the same (the minimum z value of the whole vertices) but I would like to keep the proper z value of each vertices and then extrude them with different elevation in order to keep a flat roof. My idea is to extract each vertices of the building footprint and extrude them with their own elevation values. SurfaceDraper: Drape the polygon by the terrain surface.VertexExtractor:Calculate elevation of each vertices (building highest altitude minus z value)Extruder: vertical using the elevation calculated beforeRebuild the 3D building geometry from those extruded vertices My question then, is there a way to rebuild the 3D buildings from those extruded 3D points (that are now lines)?

How to call an ArcMap tool that has yet to be released in ArcPro via arcpy from FME2021.2?

I am currently upgrading from FME2019/ArcMap 10.8 to FME 2021.2/ArcPro 2.9. In our ArcMap workflow we use the tool VPF-to-Geodatabase via arcpy scripting:arcpy.production.VpfToGeodatabase(in_vpf_features, in_target_geodatabase, in_product, {import_notes}) Being that the tool is not yet developed for ArcPro 2.9, is there a way to force FME to recognize this is an ArcMap tool? I still have both versions of ArcMap and ArcPro installed. I've also tried the option under Translation > ESRI ArcGIS Compatibility set to "Esri ArcMap", with no luck. When changing this, it forces the Python Compatibility from 3.7 to 2.7.

DateTimeConverter: Mode cannot be chosen

We use FME(R) 2020.0.2.1. I've made a workspace that uses a DateTimeConverter. I then loaded it on FME-Server (FME Server 2020.0.2.1). Now I wanted to change something and downloaded it from FME-Server. When I opened it in FME-Desktop, in the DateTimeConverter there was just a text DATETIMECALC_1_ADD_INTERVAL on a red background in the Mode-Field, and I couldn't do anything with the transformer. I viewed the workspace on FME-Server, there the Transformer looked ok, with all the different parameters filled in.I then tried to use the DateTimeConverter in a new, empty workspace, but it didnt't work anymore neither.(We have FME2021.1.3 installed on the same server, but we don't use it for some reasons. I tried it with this version all the same, but it didn't work neither)What's wrong here, how can I get this transformer to work again? Thanks, Vera

Clipper not working when I try to clip a raster mosaic to multiple areas using a tile file

Hi, I've been having a problem and I couldn't find any answer that could help me in the forum.I need to cut a raster mosaic that I did by tiles that I have: But when I run the workspace, in the clipper the whole image is set to "outside" and I can't figure out why. I also need to transform the raster mosaic to multiple rasters by that tile and with the ID that appears in the image, but I didn't get there since everything goes wrong after the clipper transformer. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Put hatches in polygon and write to DXF

Hi, I have created a random polygon (in EPSG: 4647) and now I want to put hatches inside of it via DWGStyler. They should be depicted in an angle of 45° and as lines - this works. Between the lines, there has to be a distance of 2 meter and this is where I got stuck. I've tried to achieve this via Pattern Scale in the DWGStyler and by setting "autocad_hatch_pattern_space" to 2 by using an attributecreator, but this doesn't seem to work properly.

Hello FMEers FME Academy UpdatesIn case you missed the announcement, there are a number of useful updates to the FME training academy that may be of interest to you. New modules include:Read From and Write To Multiple LocationsImprove Data Quality by Handling Null and Missing ValuesBuild a Shared Library of Custom Transformers These are part of the new Build Advanced Workflows trail. I count 11 trails so far, each with different modules:  And don't forget, online FME training materials are free of charge to use.  FME Hub UpdatesThe Hub Monthly Digest is a must-read if you are Swedish since most of the new items relate to Swedish formats.  There is a web connection for the Nationella Geodataplattformen (NGP) and several transformers for the Digital Twin Cities Centre (DTCC). The DTCC project seems to be about modelling urban environments to assist in real-world planning and design.  It looks like a series of projects, actually, so I'm really happy to see FME functionality may pl

How can I use Windows Task Scheduler to query records from a Postrgres database and append them to an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal table using FME?

I am attempting to append records to an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal table from a Postgres database using an SQL statement. I have a SQL statement that works correctly to query the database. I can use this in the SQL Creator Transformer and connect it to an Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer in FME Workbench. I can run this in FME workbench, and the records successfully write to the Portal table. The project works on my local machine and on the network server we plan to use for scheduled tasks. FME is installed on the server. I would like to run this on a 12-hour interval using Windows Task Scheduler.  Here's what I've tried:Copied the "header text" from the log in FME Workbench, and saved this as a .BAT file.
