My Data moved from Network drive A to Network drive B.Is there a way to mass change the Source Paths from the Readers in multiple Workbenches at once or do i need to open every Workbench and need to change it manually?

Hİ,I have one las file and all point cloud data is in one class. How can I classify this las data and export only ground data from it? 

We'd like to publish the /fmerest/v3/ API in an API Manager.It's well documented and structured here:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#I was wondering if there's also a OpenAPI definition of the services.

I have a file in format of .e57, it contains point cloud and raster.I plan to firstly reduce the number of points and export again as e57 that also contians raster and point clouds.​After processing the point cloud data is there 2 options in transform Writer: Raster, Point cloud. ​Which one should i choose? Or can i just export the raster and point cloud separately(like the picture below), and then open these 2 data file in FME Inspector at the same time and save as format .e57?​Thanks in advance.

Can i Convert my shape file to tiff image with geo location ? Pls guide me . 

Hello everyone, So I have a workspace, at the end I will output the HTML result by using HTML transformer. For my html report, I would like to have my writer naming: input file name + _level For instance, if the input file is: abc.geojson, the output file is: abc_level.html I tried as the figure below, yet it is not working. Could someone please give me guide on how to make it works. Thank you and sorry for soooooooo many questions recently. Zach

Hello, I noticed something weird with my reader.The primary key from a Geodatabase_SDE table is interpreted as int type on my 2021 version but is correctly interpreted as a double type on my 2019 version. Reader's properties on 2021 version :Reader's properties on 2019 version :Allowing reader feature type editing won't change a thing. All the id values are set to 0 through the inspector.Also, double fields type from the same dataset are well interpreted. Both versions. Thanks for having a look.Regards.

Hi, I try to request data from an api by a POST-request with httpcaller. Every post works fine when I set the parameter geodata in the body manually like this:{"geodata": ["FCA","FF"],..."}These are identifiers of features, which I want insert dynamically by an other transformer (Attributekeeper). The attributekeeper delivers one field called BSTs with this content: "MLLF","DPU","WWM" {"geodata": [@Value(BSTs)],..."} As soon as I activate the connection between attributekeeper and httpcaller, the api sends a "403" not allowed. I suppose, that the httpcaller sends the data of the transformer attributekeeper within the POST, what is not allowed by the api. But strange is, that I send allready the authentification-token to the httpcaller to use it in the header. This works... Any ideas are welcome ;-)Best regards, Christoph

Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly FME news roundup. EsriReprojectorAnyone who tuned into the sneak peek broadcast yesterday was treated to an in-depth look at the EsriReprojector transformer and what has changed in 2022.  The two main upgrades are time-based coordinate reprojection and vertical datums.  The time element is controlled by the coordinate systems selected and the Epoch parameter. A separate set of parameters control the Vertical Datums.  And, yes, I asked and you can do both at once! That's the final sneak peek I had planned. But I've got used to streaming with guests on a Tuesday afternoon, so, I'll try and line up more presentations, whether they be sneak peeks or something else, to keep us both educated and entertained. Women in TechOn the agenda for March is a webinar titled Empowering Women in Tech.   It's not about FME, per se, but about the women who work at Safe and how their careers progressed. If that's of interest to you, we hav

Good Evening, Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, or if there is a private message function that I haven't found. But I am looking to use FME to automate stream delineation via LiDAR derived raster analysis. I noticed your comment under this forum post (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080haNDSAY/generates-drainage-networks?t=1645628766878). I have downloaded your workflow and taken a look at some of the processes and was wondering if FME has had any updates to further the scope of my goal. Or if you have came across any new/better processes yourself since posting your suggestion. Once again, if this is not the proper place to leave this comment, I apologize. Please reach out at your earliest convenience.

I only see that a couple of specific workflows are listed for conversion to 3D Tiles - these include Wavefront OBJ, CityGML, geojson, shp, and FGDB...We would like to simply input raster imagery and elevation (geotiff for instance) and output 3D Tiles.An example workflow that would be acceptable if supported:Raster geotiff imagery to TMSRaster geotiff elevation to TBD FME Mesh format most optimized for conversion to 3D TilesTMS Imagery and FME Mesh to 3D Tiles (b3dm format) 

I tried to display CityGML data in FME Desktop Workbench 2022 (Build 22282 - macosx) and got the following message, when trying to access the 3D Window:3D mode is not supported on this platform. OpenGL 2 or above is required for 3D rendering. Will there be a FME Desktop Version for the Silicon Macs? Soon?kind regardsPeter

Hi all,i am trying to connect with a Azure blob storage container, with the AzureBlobStorageConnector transformer in fme 2020.0.2.1.but its not working i am getting this message: 'Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. ErrorCode: AuthenticationFailed' And when i use the SAS url in the browser i see a xml with all the containers that are available in the blob storage.   Could someone help about this topic, please?

I've built a python fastapi web application using the FME Server REST API and was wondering if I'm overlooking where the file extension filters are returned for any file parameters. While I see all of the other parameter information, I am not seeing the file extensions specified in the workspace for a parameter. It does not show this in the REST API call for /repositories/< repository >/items/< item >/parameters, so I was wondering if it is somewhere else or not available at all. Is this a limitation to the FME Server REST API perhaps? The reason for this is that my application is fully dynamic, so the FME workspace drives the creation of the form inputs.

   Hi, Is the following possible?An FME workspace writes to a table. After the writers are ready I want that process to continue with other transformers and an other writer which must be writing last. I don't want to create 2 workspaces. 

FME Desktop 2022: What is the equivalent tool for ArcGIS “join field” in FME? I couldn’t figure out if there is a tool that’s equivalent tool for ArcGIS “join field” in FME. For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to join the attribute table of the layer L1 with the table T1 to end up with having all the fields of table T1 in the layer L1           

I've found this documentation that mentions that comma should be surrounded with quotes when using in string functions. But the case now that I receive a file name (which contain comma) in a published parameter, then I want to replace part of the file path with some other string using "StringReplacer" function. I can't do this as the value retrieved in the published parameter has already the comma. Any Advise?

HelloI 'm trying to have the Fanout output directory stamped by date, I successfully did that except FME creates 2 folders of same content except one with the date stamp and the other without. Both directories are identical from inside, any advice?I'm using the parquet writer to export Revit elements properties to parquet files, here is my settings for output directory.The output comes as following:What I was expecting is the folder with date only???The same other folder "rst_basic_sample_project" with all its content is replicated in "2022-02-17"I only want "2022-02-17"

I'm trying to extract a tin surface from 3D solid mesh in an FBX file.Ideally we would extract the top and bottom as separate surfaces.Any Ideas?If it isn't possible to filter the top/bottom triangles to create a surface, is there a workflow to create a raster grid sampling the highest/smallest Z at each point?

How to convert the json to attributes so i can use it later in the workspace part of json : {    "content": [        {                "id": "89732" ,.................................... i have used jsonflattener but i found that i got missing data . Thanks in advance FME 2020.2

Newbi question, if i have a table where i want to splitt a collumn into two how woud I do that. Existing formatColumn a , Column B, Column CIndex,0,02022-01,100,2452022-02,101, 1452022-03, 90, 200North,0,02022-02,23, 1232022-03,35,250South,0,02022-01,87,100 Now I need to isolate the column a and the heading values, Index, North, South and make a new column Column a , Column B, Column C, New ColumnIndex,0,0,index2022-01,100,245, index2022-02,101, 145, index2022-03, 90, 200, indexNorth,0,0, north2022-02,23, 123, north2022-03,35,250, NorthSouth,0,0, South2022-01,87,100, South The source can be an excel or a db table. Target is a db tableHow do I do that?

The SurfaceModeller transformer seems to not pass through the fme_basename attribute. I want to pass the name of the file through to the writer at the end of the chain. Is there another way I can do this without using the fme_basename attr?

What is the capability of FME server and what can do more?

Hello, I have a fairly complex flow with lots of SQLexecutors.Recently I had to use also Oracle spatial Writers. The SQL Executor has useful output ports that pass the feature. This allows for example to handle successful or failed writes. The Writer has none of those, seems more like an dead-end. Is it possible to catch an error on feature write somehow?  Thanks in advance

Hi all,I have to create a workflow where we are retrieving public data, either through download or URL and running it through FME for data processing and publishing to our SDE.  The idea is then that this process should be fully automated by adding the FME script as a spatial ETL tool in ArcGIS Pro, and then publishing it as a web tool to an ArcGIS server with DI extension for server.  This way we can just schedule that tool to run on a monthly basis, where new data is downloaded and being published to our SDE without us having to do anything :-) My problem is this: How do I handle the data and data connections in my script? Can I set up some parameters ensuring that even though my script is now running as a web tool on a different server, it still has a data connection to my SDE? And can I ensure that access to my "downloaded" or URL data is still intact through the web tool on the server, for instance using some kind of scratch folder?  Should I set a FME_TEMP Environment v
