Cached data is no longer visible after upgrade from 2019.1 to 2021.1 while using a network share as the FME_TEMP local variable location.

Hi,We have just upgraded from Desktop 2019.1 to 2021.1 and I can no longer view the cached data when the FME_TEMP local variable is pointing to one of our network shares, I have changed the local variable to a few of our shares with the same result. If I change the local variable back to the local C:\\temp area, 2021.1 version works fine and can view cached data again. I have tried this with 3 users on the network and all are getting the same result. Version 2019.1 is still working fine, caching the data to the network shares?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brendan

Error in child process '1', exited with code '1'

I have a workspace that reads from a very large table in MSSQL, unpivots the data and does some minor/simple processing in FME, then writes the data out to postgres. This workspace takes around 3 - 3.5 days to finish on FME Server. Reading the data doesn't take long, but processing and writing does. In an attempt to speed up the process, I tried to apply parallel processing by wrapping the entire process in a custom transformer with FeatureReaders and FeatureWriters instead of 'native' readers and writers to concurrently read different sections of the table, then process and write the data. I wanted to test the performance on FME Server with the writers turned off and minimal parallel processing (4 child processes) but it fails rather quickly with the following error: 3682021-12-13 14:55:51 | Error in child process '1', exited with code '1'3692021-12-13 14:55:51 | f_38 (TransformFact): Error in child process '1', exited with code '1' The log

What's Up Wednesday: FME News for the Week Ending 17-December-2021

Hello FME'ers,Welcome to the last What's Up Wednesday post of this year. FME and the log4j Security Vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228)You have probably heard that a security flaw exists in the Apache library log4j, and that it is so serious that it has a 10/10 rating. In short, FME is NOT affected by this flaw. Although this library is included with FME, my understanding is that it's not used in a way that can be exploited. Of course, we'll still update it to a secure version as soon as we can, and may offer a patch for older FME versions. Plus in some cases, you can remove the library to ensure that there is no problem. For more details, see this information page. FME ReleasesThe newest FME available is now FME 2021.2.1 (build 21797), which was published last week. You can check out the What's New file to see what has changed (the previous release build was 21784) but they're all very specific items.  New updates usually occur on the first Tuesday of the month, but

Regrouping Microstation cells

I have a workbench that reads multiple Microstation files, and for some of the files, I need to remove some of the cell's so they are not written, and I have done this. I then have to write all the files to one Microstation file.  My issue is the remaining cells are not coming through into the Micostation output file. Each file being read has a different cell library and I have not had any luck combining them to 1, for the writer to read. so in the documentation I read that  "the cell members are assigned a unique cell sequence number in the igds_cell_sequence_number. This number can be used to later regroup the cell components if that is required." But I can not find anything in documentation on how to regroup them. I would like to try this to see if it helps me once I expand the cells. Has anyone done this before, and can offer some help? As this is my first time working with FME and Microstation files. Thanks in advance!Iris.

Why does the fme server not run sequentially while running the fme desktop workflow?

-Because while the new data coming from httpCaller should be written to AttributeFileWriter, first the file starts the parse process. In this case, it causes old data to be processed instead of new data. -If I delete this file from desktop then run the workflow from fme server;-Fme server run workflow and see engine logs;Why do it works first parsing file then httpCaller ? True way that is it gets httpCaller new data firsly and write to file.

How to compare old contour lines and new contour lines?

I have a very old file while contain contour lines. And then I obtained a new DEM from which I generated new contour lines. Visually I can see that between 2 files, the contour lines of the same elevation differ in distance and they differ from one elevation to another. Is there any way I can get a statistical result about max, min, mean between these files? And is it possible to visualize this?

How can I configure FME server to check out a license from the ArcGIS Pro pool instead of the ArcGIS Desktop pool?

On our machine running FME Server, we have both ArcGIS desktop 10.6.1 and ArcGIS Pro 2.7 installed.  When we run workspaces that require an ESRI license, FME Server can get a license, but pulls a license from the ArcGIS desktop 10.6.1 license pool (As shown below). The same thing happens when the same workspace is run in FME Desktop. 2021-12-14 01:10:07 | The ArcObjects license 'Advanced' is being selected from the Windows registry2021-12-14 01:10:18 | FME has checked out an Esri license.

This causes the VertexCreater transform to add incorrect geoemtries When I click "User Attributes" on the Reader I cannot change the column type from time. Everything is greyed out. How can I best override this

Assigning parent lot values to child lots

Hi FME altruist, I am a new member of this community and trying best to strive on using FME for my new job. In a task, I am asked to assign a percentage value (computed by area on area overlayer) of a parent lot to its child lot. For example, in this image, I have first dissolved the two child polygons (1 and 2) and computed the percentage value. But now I cannot assign the value to its child lots. I have tried different tools (e.g. SpatialRelator, NeighborFinder) that can return like 'select by location' and then create a field :)

How to use a newline as a separator in ListConcatenator

Hi I would like to use a new line as a separator in the list concatenator but I do not know what I need to actually type into the separator box. The help suggests a sequence of Ctrl+Shift+j (^J) but if I CTrl+Shift+j, nothing happens. I have no idea about the ^J. I have tried pasting this in as text too but no combination works. Please could someone explain what the help file is suggesting I do? Thanks

Calculate the average of an attribute for several lines within a polygon

Hi there,I have many roads (lines) and many areas (polygons) of a city. Within each area there are let's say 20 roads. Each road has a grade based on its condition stored in an attribute. I would like to calculate the average of this grade for all the roads within an area, so that I can compare the average grade for each area in the city. I have not yet found a transformer that can calculate the average in a way like this. Anyone got any idea? Thanks a lot in advance

DWG to DWG reprojection. Results leave much to be desired.

So I'm trying to reproject the data in a DWG file from one projection using the ETRS89 datum (ETRS89 / NTM zone 11 [EPSG:5111]) to another (ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N [EPSG:25832]). I've set up a feature reader to read using the RealDWG reader to a single output port. I've set up a RealDWG writer from that same port, writing to a different coordinate system. I've tried three different versions of this: One without any projector transformer, just writing to a different CRS, one with the PROJReprojector and one with the Reprojector transformer. As far as I can see the results look the same from all three.  The input data is located nicely along a corridor as seen in the inspector:In the output file I have data in three clusters:The southern one contains some of the original data in the original coordinate system. They are not transformed at all! The middle one contains some of the original data transformed correctly to the new CRS. The northern cluster contains a smaller subse

I have extracted contour lines from an MBTILES file, the contour_line has contour_line_type and property_value the latter contains the height information. My question is how can I get these to export as tags in the way data in the OSM output file.

When I applied a fan out to the writer the tags appeared correctly why don't they appear with no fan out?
