Shape the future of FME with your ideas
Open ideas have been reviewed by our Product Management and are open for commenting and voting.
Supporting Netcdf4 format. Trying to work with Sentinel 5p data and it is only manageable using netcdf4 python module, R netcdf4 library or SNAP management tool. It would be nice to handle data directly in FME!!!!
In the GML3 spec, you can link to features using xlink:href /references based on GML:ID.This is currently not available in FME, which means we have to develop our own workaround external to FME to provide those details. This will enable CityGML features (for example Buildings) to use the surfaces to construct a solid, without replicating the geometries in the file.
Hi, it could be interesting working on the element lists like an AttributeManager do with attribute. Grouping the functionnalities of ListHitogrammer, ListSummer and other list transformers in one could improve fme projects like the AttributeManager do. Some other ideas on it ?
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Add Flag or mark in transformers for visual identification of debugged/updated parameters Summary:I suggest the implementation of a visual mark (icon) or color usage for pinpoint/ identify transformers visually in workbench canvas that were revised/ updated by user/ workspace creator when performong a debug or are developing a certain workspace.The need:Often a user become confuse or "lost" in his own workspace when performing debugg action or re-parametrize. This is specially sensible when the workspace contains dozens, if not a couple of hundred transformers. The proposal.Could be included/ turn on a visual flag (similar to cashed inspection) or option to change transformer colour by user in order to identify a certain transformer that was already revised and is setted up as the user intends that it stays. This will allow for the user on a very easy and effective way to quickly identify which is the part of the workspace7 transformers already "worked" and the remaining ones, supporting efforts of debugging actions.The benefict.- significant gain of time and focus when restart a workspace debugg action;- visual- easy to understand what is done and what is pending when workspace goes from one user to another to continue the work.
provide better query functionality within the FME Server logs, maybe Elasticsearch
How about adding the ability to protect/encrypt zip files created in the FME Server download service to provide security for sensitive data. Security, can never have enough.
HiI need to append a lot of different file (XLS CSV SHP) and output a unique csv table but I would like to remove as first step all the fields present in my input that doesn't contain any valuemaybe an option in the Attribute manager .......thxFrancesco
Since it is possible, and nobody has posted it yet. What about a Movie Reader/Writer (MPEG, WMW, AVI, MOV...)?It can be done today with use of third party builds like ffmpeg, so why not add it to FME.
CMIS is an OASIS open standard for interfacing with content management repositories (upload and download documents, versioning, metadata) and appears to be supported by recent builds of Sharepoint, Laserfiche, OpenText and more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_Interoperability_Services I'm not sure how feasible this is, but it looks good on paper..
Please split the enviroment variable FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE to:FME32_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE FME64_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE The 32-bit version can use ca. 512m, the 64-bit version can use the full memory
Would be helpful to have a way to explicitly order MSWordStyler transformers. Currently the order is determined primarily by the order of the connectors (unless you have a Creators initiate every MSWordStyler with their order set). The simplest way to order them would be to allow the user to daisy-chain the MSWordStylers where successive MSWordStylers append to the the incoming from the previous MSWordStyler. An alternative would be to have an Order parameter in the MSWordStyler that you can set with the Word writer sorting them before it begins writing the output.
Hello Everyone, Those that use Socrata, Socrata has updated their SODA version (2.1 I believe). With this update, it allows customers to upload an ESRI Shapefile and translates it to a tabular dataset. Here is the support link describing the datatypes now supported: https://dev.socrata.com/docs/datatypes/index.html#, To have a Socrata writer that can take geometry input to the writer and translate it to any one of the spatial datatypes (listed) would be a huge boost for efficiency for the workbench and execution time and write time. Thank you
The FMEServerResourceConnector is a fantastic transformer for working with resources on FMEServer but it lacks the ability to create new folders.Even when uploading a file, the path that the file is being uploaded to must already exist, which means that it needs to either be created manually through the web interface, or by using the FME Server REST API. The probem with using the REST API (via an HTTPCaller) is that it cannot be used with a named web connection, so you need to mess around with Tokens, etc. for authorisation.It would be great if the FMEServerResourceConnector could be enhanced to either:add the capability to explicitly create a folderadd the capability to specify a path for an uploaded file, with that path being created if it doesn't already exist.Additionally, the error returned when something goes wrong with the transformer could do with some attention. The only error that seems to get reported back, regardless of what went wrong, is, "fme_rejection_code: ERROR_DURING_PROCESSING", which really doesn't help at all.
In FME 2016 the AttributeClassifier has been deprecated in favour of the AttributeValidator. I agree that the AttributeValidator is the future but unless I'm mistaken it doesn't yet carry the full volume of tests previously offered by the AttributeClassifier?Of course you can get the old AttributeClassifier from an old Workspace, but we shouldn't have to do that really.None of the other Transformers that the AttributeValidator is designed to supersede have been deprecated yet, so can the decision be reversed, for the time being at least?
Please add support for ADAC V5.
Originated from comment by @taojunabc in this Q&A.The idea is to provide a way to find Feature Type names that matches a regular expression, to add more flexibility to this transformer.
The XML reader now has a tree view for picking the Feature Paths Configuration Elements to Match, Elements to Exclude.It would be nice if the same tree view was available in the Sub-Elements To Ignore parameter in the XML Flatten Options
It would be great to have these two installed in FME Cloud so that we can produce heatmaps and follow the following guide. https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/68509/how-to-create-a-heatmap-using-the-rcaller.html
As an amateur genealogist for over 45 years, I currently use Family Tree Maker to record my data. I have used others over the years and exported the data out as a GEDCOM to send to others with different software. That seems to be the universal language of the various genealogy programs. I've often thought that it would be helpful to be able to transfer the data to other formats, even just Excel, and have more control over what parts of the data I use so that I can manipulate it in other ways (for example using the location coordinates to map in Arc).
If you start a workspace you get a prompt for parameters You realize that you don't want this anymore. You hit Ok and the worspace starts. But...then you want to turn off the "Run with prompt" but it's greyed out. I think it's better to allow the user to adjust this setting while a workspace is running. I will forget to turn it off and will run into an extra prompt again. Déjà vu
It is often helpful to understand how long a job has run for. Whilst this can be derived from the start and end times, it would be helpful to have this information more visible, particularly for sorting so that long-running jobs could be more easily identified.
I have had a number of clients ask me why the FME Server user name is case sensitive.I did not even realize this before, but they were right.Can an option (configuration) be added to make the user name not case sensitive?Most systems have user names that are not case sensitive.
Send Job Completion Notification to FMEServer Web-UI When User is logged on.Maybe a notification panel at BottomRight corner and open job log upon clicking .
It would be nice if you could drag a file on to a FeatureReader as a way to populate the parameters. It would eliminate the need to have to copy and paste paths or navigate to a file when you already have it open in a file browser in front of you.
I'ts nice to have an option to collapse all or expand all bookmarks at once.
