Welcome to the first What’s Up Wednesday of December and the start of our Twelve Days of FME 2020 Contest. 

 

Twelve Days of FME 2020

Starting today, December 2nd, until January 8th, we will be having an FME contest that gives you twelve chances to win a prize! Throughout the month of December, various challenges and puzzles of varying difficulty will be released to the community. Complete the challenge or puzzle within the limited time frame to be entered to win. See the Contest Terms and Conditions for the full schedule or the launch page for links to all the challenges. 

 

The first challenge has already started and goes until tomorrow, December 3rd, at 11:59PM PST. Note that all start and end times are in Pacific Standard Time (PST). 

 

FME 2020.2.1 Released

A minor release of FME 2020.2 is now available for download. Key updates include:

  • INSPIRE reader/writer: Switched schema locations from http to https

  • Fixes to date/time precision issues with MS SQL Server and Azure (JDBC) 

For more information on what’s new or to download it, see our website. 

 

Back to Back Webinars Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we have a special webinar treat. We will be doing a replay of A Guide to Working with Spatial Data at Scale in the Cloud with a live Q&A at the end with our cloud expert Stewart. Then at 11AM PST,  Don will be hosting an interview with BlueDot, who have been using FME and AI to detect potential COVID-19 outbreaks; see the webinar page to sign up. 

 

FME Advent Calendar

Don’t forget to open your FME Advent Calendar that Conterra publishes each year. Answer 24 Days of FME trivia questions and learn fun FME facts for your chance to win prizes. 

 

FME Training

In a couple of weeks, we will be doing our last live online training sessions of the 2020 calendar year (probably not FME 2020). Sign up for free for Integrating Your Data with the FME Platform, which is our beginner course. Then if you are interested in learning how to use FME with Cityworks, sign up today. It is recommended that you have basic working knowledge of FME and Cityworks to attend the course. 

 

Knowledge Base Highlight

Have you been interested in learning how to integrate FME with a PostgreSQL database and ArcGIS Online in real-time? Mark W has recently published an in-depth walkthrough on how to do just that. You will need to have access to PostgreSQL with admin privileges as well as an ArcGIS Online account to get started. Work through a scenario where pothole data is recorded in an FME Server App then pushed into a database. Using an automation, publish the data onto an ArcGIS Online map as it gets recorded into the database.

Hi @lizatsafe​ ,

 

will the courses "Integrate Your Data with the FME Platform" and "Connect Your Data to Cityworks" be registered and freely available for those who cannot follow them live?

 

Thanks!

Hi @davtorgh​, absolutely, once the course is over a recording will be available online. If you want to sign up for the course(s), but won't be able to attend, a link to the recording will be emailed out to you once it is available. If you are following the recording of the course, you can download a free trial of FME as well as download the course data (link starts the download).

Hi @lizatsafe​ ,

 

I signed up for the courses, but I did not received links to the recordings so far (neither there are links on the website page) . When do you think the recordings will be available?

 

Thanks

Hi @davtorgh​. We are almost done editing a recording of the Integrate course and hope to post it this month. The Cityworks course was recorded in December and is in our editing backlog. I'm not sure when it will be released, but I will email everyone who signed up when it is. Sorry for the delay.
