Hello and welcome to What's Up Wednesday: a round up of the weekly FME news...

 

New FME 2020 Release Build

September 4th saw a new FME 2020 version released: FME 2020.1.2 (build 20620). As is usual, none of these are critical updates, just small fixes and improvements. Reading from the change log, the main updates I see are:

 

  • Esri Geodatabase: Add support for ArcGIS Pro versions 2.4.3, 2.5.2, and 2.6.0
  • Cesium: Fix incorrect writing of JSON attributes.
  • SQLExecutor: Ensure the Attributes to Expose parameter correctly handles lists

 

As always the downloads are available at safe.com/downloads - and look out for small hotfix release planned for next week.

 

Upcoming Webinars

The FME Hackathon presentation webinar took place today. At the time of writing I don't have a link to the recording, but it will be made available shortly, along with a voting form.

 

Next week sees a webinar on Change Detection and FME, one on how we migrated the community to this new platform, and a partner webinar on FME Server apps from Locus.

 

Survey123 and FME

A tweet I noticed pointed me to a great blog post by community member Bruce Harold, about Survey 123 and how its webhooks can be made to can automate integrations between Survey123 and "anything else Data Interoperability can reach." Definitely worth a read if that area of data integration is in your area of interest.

 

Dutch Coordinate Systems

This probably only applies to our Dutch users, and refers to RDNAPTRANS 2018. This is a coordinate transformation that has recently been added in FME. We hear that the transition period from RDNAPTRANS 2008 to 2018 has been extended from October 2020 to October 2021, and there are specific recommendations about who uses 2008 and who moves to 2018. So please do check that out if you think it affects you. I believe this web page may explain in more detail.

Also in the Netherlands...RedGeogTraining

I'm so happy to see training taking place again, socially distant and with some online attendees. I think this is going to be the style of training in the foreseeable future. I hope your trainees had fun, @Hans van der Maarel​ , and I know that they sure learned a lot from you.

It was a good training, FME Desktop Advanced for a group of trainees that I had mostly seen prior to the pandemic at Desktop Basic training courses. 5 in-person and 2 via a Teams meeting, socially distant and masks on when we needed to explain something in a one-on-one setting. Took some getting used to but it was a success. Felt good to be able to do it again.
