Shape the future of FME with your ideas
Open ideas have been reviewed by our Product Management and are open for commenting and voting.
We already have a "leafletheatmap" transformers, but it would be good to have a transformer where we can ajust some parameters (like the radius of search, the weight of the different attribute, the pixel size, etc.).Below, this is the example of the kernel density estimator of QGIS :Have a good day everyone !
Add an option to the Counter transformer to count backwards (i.e. 0, -1, -2, -3 etc)
Hello Team,It would be great, If we have appropriate steps to configure AD groups for FME Server 2019. I could not able to configure AD group user with the current documentation.Thanks
Add support for MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport or Message Queue Telemetry Transport) messaging protocol for FME Server notifications.MQTT is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC PRF 20922) publish-subscribe-based "lightweight" messaging protocol for use on top of the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed for connections with remote locations where a "small code footprint" is required or the network bandwidth is limited. The publish-subscribe messaging pattern requires a message broker. The broker is responsible for distributing messages to interested clients based on the topic of a message.
The RasterExpressionEvaluator and the RasterBandCombiner require that the input rasters have identical properties. If one raster has a spacing of 0.6666667 and the other 0.6666667000000001 then the second raster is rejected. See https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/58136/fuzzy-tolerance-on-rasterbandcombiner.html. Likewise if the origin is off by a picometer, and let's not talk about 20000 vs 19999 rows.It would be nice to have a transformer that takes one raster as a reference, and then forces all other rasters (candidates) to correspond to it's properties.This transformer would:resample the candidates to the reference _spacingX, _spacingY clip and or pad the candidates so they cover the same extent as the referencesnap the candidates to the reference origin
Create a holistic spatial join feature that will read overlapping polygons/polyline/point features. Like the one in ArcMap.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: FMEServerJobSubmitter - add polling interval to make it possible to use with LoadBalancer FMEServerJobSubmitter - add polling interval to make it possible to use with LoadBalancer without dropping connections.
LasTools is already integrated with FME but it is not an open source. Will be great if we can processing PointCloud with PDAL library.
Is there a reader for Oracle NMS Mp files? It appears this is an option in the Small World license, but can't find any conformation. Does anyone know if or have a transformer that can be installed for this file type? https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/780/working-with-ge-smallworld-databases.html
There should be a transformer that 'tints' certain features based on a condition in a selectable colour. Say, I want to highlight all features where A=1 in red. Upon running the workspace, all connections through which the highlighted features pass, then should get coloured in red. This way I could easily visually track the flow of certain features through my workspace.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Excel Reader: Tick box to enable/disable automatic creation of geometry via x_coordinate, y_coordinate The Excel Reader has the ability to automatically create geometry when it detects fields such as X/Y and Longitude/Latitude. https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/xlsx/XLSX_reader.htm#xyz_coordsI believe it would be handy to have a tick box or selection to enable/disable automatic spatial handling of an excel reader. I understand that in a lot of situations that automatically creating points from an excel may be useful. However, I'm starting to deal with a lot of excel data which stores multiple coordinates for a record (Eastings/Northings as well as Longitude/Latitude) and even adding new excels to older workspaces is causing issues (VertexCreators previously set to 'Add point' by default creating a line geometry). In both situations I'm having to review the parameters of the reader to determine which field is being set to the 'X_coordinate'/'Y_coordinate' or change the field type. In some workspaces it seems like adding a geometry remover straight after the reader is just easier.Interested to hear if anyone else has the same feelings.
There is a constant requirement to have data from ESRI ArcSDE, ArcMap and File Geodatabase made available to Schlumberger Petrel software. This is not the easiest of tasks. It would be good if FME could read ESRI data sources and convert them into a format suitable for Petrel.Likewise, it would be nice to read Petrel data sources and have them made available in the ESRI environment
There is a CAT (Column Aligned Text) Reader - however no writer. You can use the Textfile Writer with TAB - however it is not the same. And you can build a string with fixed number of rows using the Stringformatter to be sure each column is aligned - but still....
Hello,I cant find a way, how to get inverted selection in FME Data Inspector. Is there any button for that? If not, I think that its worth for adding button info Data Inspector.ThanksLubo
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Include the possibity to edit the aliases of fgdb attributes within the workbench There is already a possibility to expose the aliases of an FGDB reader but if we could edit the aliases (with a lookup table or other feature to join on) and write them, it would be nice.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Version Control: Allow other files in Repositories to be versioned (e.g. Source Data, Custom Transformers) Version Control is a great new feature that will allow users of FME Server to better track when FME Workspaces are uploaded to FME Server.This idea is to extend functionality to cover items that are published with the workspace, such as Custom Transformers, and Source Data. (In other words, other data that also exists in the same Repository as the Workspace.)
Hi Team,A suggestion of Idea is has a Writer for format - Maptech BSB Nautical Chart.There is a Reader and I would like to know if has a implementation in the future.Thanks in Advance,Danilo
Make sure that the following attributes are available on ALL formats (seems to be missing still in FME2019 on DWG atleast)- fme_feature_type- fme_dataset- fme_basename Workaround mentioned here: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/105379/where-are-the-fme-dataset-and-fme-basename-attribu.html
I suggest that the Drawing System Variable feature in the DWG-readers also should include the system variable PLINEWID. This will make the process of CAD-->GIS easier to achieve the correct global line widths
I suggest that two new attributes are added for the feature types Transformers, Readers and Writers in the FME workspace reader (FMW) that stores the canvas_position_x and canvas_position_y. The reason behind this is that we are visualizing workspaces in the graphml format and to draw the workspace as it's shown in FME Desktop the position is essential. Right now I retrieve this information from the fmw-file with a Text File reader but the process is tediously.
some users could probably use 'Monthly' also
To my knowledge, the GDAL libraries GDAL and OGR are built in FME. However, apparently not all GDAL tools are utilized. Particularly, I miss gdal_rasterize, but others of the tools could be incorporated as transformers.https://gdal.org/programs/index.html#
Currently you can only launch an instance of FME Server on FME Cloud using the dashboard or API. Add support to provision instances using a scheduler GUI on the FME Cloud dashboard. This would allow you to bring an instance up for a period of time every day, week or month. Since pricing is hourly you can keep costs to a minimum only paying for the server when you are using it.
Add github as "Shared FME Folder". This way you have version control of all items used in FME
