General

The application itself is closed. And when I restart the application, a new fmeworkbench.exe process is started. This happens when I haven't done anything in the application yet. Didn't run a workspace or created one.  I also tested it with the simplest workspace I could think of: a Creator with an Inspector. In that case the process fmedatainspector.exe is started. That process also never closes.  I use FME Desktop version 2021.1 as part of ArcGIS Pro on a Windows 2016 VMWare machine. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this behavior?

I understand that it is in Beta, but I couldn't find a release schedule or a post of the anticipated date. Our cybersecurity team is requiring us to upgrade software very soon after official release so we are trying to anticipate when that might be.Thanks!

Hi there,  I came up with a problem within one of my data translations within FME concerning arc objects. The routine is about converting a geopackage file into a filegeodatabase. The included objects and their geometry are not manipulated inbetween. Arc objects within the geopackage-file are defined as geometry type "Arc by three points". The arc objects within the geopackage-file have all been constructed by 3 points (end, middle and startpoint). This logically means, that the arc line is intersecting with those three points.  After converting this geometry to a file geodatabase, the arc geometry has changed and is within a tolerance of the arc middle point. When checking the geometry info of the same arc within the file geodatabase, it states that tie IFMEArc is "Arc By Center Point With Ends) - but, most important, the geometry has changed!   Why does FME not convert the arc geometry in the exact way into the file geodatabase? Is there any way to change the IFME Type

Hi All,I am sure I am missing something simple. I am setting up a workspace to read in FileGDB metadata and write that out to a spreadsheet. Seems fine but I would also like to work with the base 64 thumbnail. I can write that out to a cell but having problems making use of the thumbnail in this format. I tried using BinaryDecoder and RasterReplacer but generate an error below. Any thoughts? Many thanks. Additionally....if there is a better way to work with the thumbnail in an ESRI File GDB please suggest. Thanks again! I keep on plugging away at this. One thing that puzzles me is I can take the thumbnail base64 text from Binary.Thumbnail.Data and get a jpg from one of those online Base64 to jpg converters so the string from the xml metadata is valid it seems. Just cannot get a read on it in FME. Thoughts? Thanks! BinaryDecoder (TextEncoderFactory): Invalid Base64 character '0'+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Feature Type: `XMLFlattener

He all,  I've a question about the SharePoint Online connector. The file upload works on the root of the folder (see image) in FME Desktop (2020.2) but the same configurations doesn't work on FME server. On FME server the following error message: The error message is:  `SharepointOnlineConnector: Invalid name '/'. The file or folder name contains characters '" * : < > ? / \\ |' or is not allowed' is displayed on FME server 2020.2.4.  SharePoint Online connector version: 1.1.1  Thanks for your response how to solve this problem.    

Hi,We have some older version of flexnet publisher in the organisation and I cant find the download link for the desktop client, only the license server. Am I missing something? CheersBrad

FME Desktop 2020: The best practice to jump to command in the workbench that causes an error, I got an error that is shown in the screenshot below. I couldn’t figure out if there is a way to jump to the command that causes this error without the need to do it manually   

Hello community,I need to output data in MTM or UTM systems for Canada but in NAD83 CSRS epoch 10.I know the EPSG code does not exist for such projected coordinate system.I used the ESRI WKT to create a custom definition for FME using this tool: https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmedatastreaming/Coordsys/Start.fmw?And then i saved and used the coordinate system definition i got and added a datum definition:Here they are:DATUM_DEF NAD83CSRS2010               \\  DESC_NM  "North American Datum of 1983 (CSRS) version 6"        \\  SOURCE   "Metashape"           \\  ELLIPSOID GRS1980  COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF MTMZone7-NAD83CSRS(2010) \\  DESC_NM "MTM7 NAD83 CSRS 2010" \\  GROUP MTM \\ DT_NAME NAD83CSRS2010  ORG_LAT 0 \\  PARM1 -70.5 \\  PROJ TM \\  QUAD 1 \\  SCL_RED 0.9999 \\  SOURCE "Metashape" \\  UNIT METER \\  X_OFF 304800 \\  Y_OFF 0 When i use this in the workbench i get the following error:is not a supported projectionUnable to initialize

FME Version: FME(R) 2018.1.0.0 (20180717 - Build 18520 - WIN32) My workspace is built to identify points that are from a certain distance from a line featureclass. I use a neighbor finder to identify the points. While using the base and candidate features as points and lines respectively, I achieve what I want except for an error i.e. IFMELine was given an index beyond its current range. Despite this error, the translation runs successfully. On trying to find similar issues, I found this post that said it could be because the point is past the line. https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hgTy/neighborfinder-try-to-get-elevation-but-get-this-error-ifmeline-was-given-an-index-beyond-its-current-range One way I could circumvent this is to also convert the line to points using a chopper or so but it is not desirable for the the vertex could be farther away from the line itself.  Would anyone know what would be the best way to resolve this?Is there a method to identify these probl

Hello everyone, So I have two data set (Set A & Set B). I want to find how many B polygons are overlapped on A. I am able to find the overlapped polygon attribute by using spatial relator (by explode the list). However, the geometry of the exposed list is not correct. They all have the same geometry (from the test filter transformer). Is there anyway that I can have both correct attribute and geometry? Thank you for your help.

Is there a reason why I can not setup a fme workspace on FME Server that accepts POST requests? It would be much cleaner to accept data in a post request. This would also allow for accepting image and other large binary data to go in to my workflow.

Hi, I am using a PythonCaller to create an XML string. When I send this string through an XMLTemplater, all "<>" brackets are converted to "<" and ">" (html encodings). Adding a StringReplacer/StringPairReplacer to replace all brackets works fine but can take some time for larger content . Is there a way to prevent the XMLTemplater from converting brackets to encoded brackets? becomes:

I'm trying to create a relationship (1: n) between a shapefile and four tables and publish it in an FGDB. I created two columns with AttributeCreator (goedb_feature_has_relationships) and (geodb_oid). As a writer, I have four options (see the following figure). I selected (Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)).I noticed that format attributes from my writer doesn't contain (goedb_feature_has_relationships) and (geodb_oid). It is the same with other writers. Because of this, no relationship is created in the end. every excel file has a relationship (1:n) with my shapefile. I would be grateful if you could tell me why the problem is. Many Thanks. 

Error message when converting four shapefiles into one FGDB. Error consists of:An error occurred while attempting to create the feature class 'SB_Aussenkasten'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220649'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Cannot create double column table.}I would be thankful. if someone could tell me what the problem is. Thanks very much.  

Hello FME community, I have an excel file with the following columns (please see Photo) and would like to convert it to line (FeatureClass).I would be grateful if you could give me a hint.

Whenever I run the workspaces, it ends up with "Error running translation" at the first process of the translation. This occurs in all workspace files including official training files or most simple translation such as xls to csv.My work environment is MacOS Monterey (MacBook Pro 14 inch M1 Pro). And there are no problems if I run the same translation on Windows PC.

Hi, I have bottom hole well locations in the attributes of surface hole well locations shapefile. I need to read those coordinates and generate a new shapefile in FME

I have two variables within a script tag in the head of an html document.What's the best way to extract those two variables?Both variables are json data.  In the end I want the geojsondata and I want to add the metadata to the geojson data. I can extract the strings for the variables using regex, but is there something better to read javascript? 

Hello! I am using FME Desktop 2021 and I have constructed a workbench that reads a CSV file with one column field. Each CSV row is a text string, which represents an XML document. It is used as an FME attribute inside a SOAP request template (XML template) to download and parse an XML document. However, the XML document could be referencing other XML documents via their respective text strings. If I extract these strings from the XML response, is it possible to feed them back as an input for my workbench and download them before moving on to the next CSV record? Apologies if the question sounds unclear, I can provide more info if needed. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Hello,  FME Desktop 2019.2.3.3 Build 19825 Win64 I'm getting a few issues when using the Directory and File Pathways reader to get the subfolds in a directory.  I have a Published Parameter that is set up for File_Path input. If I put a path with a space in the name I'm able to see all subfolders when running in FME Desktop, but once I write to csv the file paths are truncated to only show the path up to the first space. Example:  In FME Desktop I see this: \\\\unc_path\\a\\b\\a b c Here's what the csv output looks like: \\\\unc_path\\a\\b\\a  That led me to try and add double quotes "" "" around the path in the Published Parameter which then gets to my second issue that it then adds commas "," into the path where the spaces are.   We'd like this workbench to be dynamic and allow any file path whether there's a space or not. Is there a solution that doesn't require my end users to change the file path to forward slashes, double quot
