Is it possible in FME Server to run a workspace with workspacerunner that starts a workbench on another server in fme desktop? (and uses that license)

i am using Mapnikrasterizer transformer ,i have input polygon and some lines over it . i would like to keep the output of this transformer without any scaling (without any compressing )as original input .which parameters should i choose at this transformer to do this work ?as info :i am wiriting the output in excel file .but i found it looks not great when i use scaling ,it seems to me that it compress the input and looks not good in excel file . so i would like to have another solution Thanks for help FME 2018

When I tried to update existing hosted layer in ArcGIS portal, periodically , I got this error message when trying to access the data by ArcGIS portal feature service readerAnyone seen this before or please help me to fix this error?

I inherited a flow with an embedded transformer.This transformer uses a variable, for example $(TARGET_URL), but I am unable to gather it's value when paused on breakpoint.

Hi everyone! I was trying to use the CurveFitter packaged transformer in FME 2019, but I received a weird message, telling me that I'm not authorized to use/download it (because of some licensing problem). Here is the message : Note that everything is OK with FME 2021 (it seems that this package was converted into a "real transformer"). I'm also able to open a workspace that includes this transformer with a 2019 version (this FMW : https://community.safe.com/s/article/using-and-understanding-the-curvefitter-transforme). However, I'm not able to access to it via the quick add or the transformer gallery.. So it's not really efficient. PS: I'm using a FME d

I recently inherited a workspace (sorry for all my other questions related and thanks for your time and patience 🙂)The problem with the workspace is that it has over 1400 transformers, at least according to this command of my provenience which might be incorrect:cat my_workspace.fmw | grep \<TRANSFORMER |wc -lI can hardly orientate myself in all the logic, since the canvas won't fit to my screen even at the lowest zoom. I only managed to oversight it printing to A0 pdf:Anyway, I don't know if this is common in real life FME projects. Are there any best practices regarding the complexity and extent of the workspace? Are there any possible performance drawbacks with bigger workspaces?My intuition would be to divide it and execute the resulting flows separately with WorkspaceRunner, but I cannot find a clear rec

I inherited a flow with an embedded transformer.This transformer is being reused multiple times in the workspace. If I put a breakpoint in it, I don't know how to find the place it is being called from the main flow.

Hi,  I have a script that I want to use in FME server. The script is creating vertexpoints from an excelfile and the outcome is points with relevant attribute. However when I run the script in my FME desktop and attach a geopackage writer that saves a file locally it creates the points without a problem. But in FME server nothing happens which is strange since it does create other polygons in the geopackage file. But the vertexpoints that are created in the script are not created in their respective geopackage file. Does anyone know why? I have attached the fme script.

Hi team, As i am new to FME Desktop, I 've created 3 workbenches like Add, Update & delete processes. I need to run these workbenches in following order.1.Add2.Update 3.Delete Kindly provide which transform can i use to fulfill the requirement without FME Server option.It will be highly appreciate for your Solution. RegardsVIPLAW

I'm just trying to do a simple join of LSOA areas and an excel with some ONS data, joining based on the field 'LSOA_code'. The join mode is set to inner and appears to join based on the visual preview below from the joined output port but when I write to gdb, the fields I want to add from the excel don't appear to be exposed in the writer.  

I have a workspace1 when completed posts the topic message to another workspace2 that subscribes to it. I get details about the status of the workspace1 which is received via the JSON file in the topic message (FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE). Is there also a method to extract the published parameters of workspace1? I tried HTTP caller with the link to the log file with a GET request but I am not able to achieve it 

Sometimes when reading various files I get different behaviour for the coordinate system the FME chooses. Sometimes I see 'NonEarth_Meter' while other times is something like XY-M. Seems to be somewhat random, however, it could be specific to the input formatDoes anyone know if there is a difference of why both these definitions exist?

I have 2 readers. I am trying to add new fields and values from the 2nd reader to the 1st reader if there is a match. There isn't always a match and I want to keep the order of the records in the output. I'm trying both featuremerger and feature joiner but neither are reproducing what I expect.The featurejoiner failed because not all job records have a lineID. I still want all jobs in the output. One note is there the Lines have a 1:M relationship with Jobs. There is only 1 line record that would populate the output new fields.Thanks!

Hi, I'm very, very new to FME and I'm working my way through the FME Academy. Everything has been going swimmingly until I've got to the point of publishing workflows to FME Server as part of the Publish a Self-Serve Workplace to the Web section of the Automate Workflows module in the Integrate Data with the FME Platform trail - https://safe.my.trailhead.com/content/safe/modules/automate-workflows/publish-a-self-serve-workspace-to-the-web The issue I have is that the module refers to a gdb file called CommunityMap.gdb and I can't see it anywhere. It doesn't appear to be a resource on any previous sections. Am I missing something obvious? I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to find this gdb file. Many thanks

Hello there Just wondering why intersector and lineOnlineOverlay transformer are not giving the expected resulteven when the 2 features are intersecting Attached is Data in shapefile format    

I am using Intersector in FME Workbench 2022.0 Beta and it is resulting in unexpected nodes and segments in our data. We are running the beta because of issues with other transformers. Any ideas? Sample data attached in a ZIP.

Hi folks,Let's call this edition of What's Up Wednesday the "GIS Day Special" - although by the time I finished writing it's more like a "Meme Special"! 32-Bit DeprecationIn case you missed it, external factors mean that we've had to bring forward the deprecation of FME on Windows 32-bit. FME 2021.2 will be the last FME version to support 32-bit! FME 2022 onwards will be 64-bit only. Most formats already worked on both 32- and 64-bit platforms, including ones you might think of as mostly 32-bit, such as File Geodatabase, Microsoft Access, and Smallworld.  But some formats are 32-bit only and will therefore be missing from future FME versions. We will try and supply patches (to 2021) if necessary and where possible, but we really do encourage users to upgrade to 64-bit. For more information,
