Shape the future of FME with your ideas
Open ideas have been reviewed by our Product Management and are open for commenting and voting.
Currently FME support upto LAS version 1.4. Would be great to be able to work with versions 2.0 and 3.0 as well.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Allow customization/extension of details shown for each Job on Jobs summary page In our use of FME-Server, we have many jobs that have a public parameter allowing the user to choose between running the job in Development, Acceptance, or Production environments. When viewing the list of completed jobs on the Jobs summary page, we do not know which environment a particular job number was run in - we must open the job details to find the parameter value chosen. If FME-Server were to provide one or more standard "FME_JOB_MESSAGE" type FME Server parameters (similar to already existing FME Server parameters such as FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE) that could then be included on the details listed for a job on the Jobs summary page on FME-Server, then we would have what we were looking for. Going 1 step further, being able to filter/sort the Jobs list on any of its columns, including the new suggested FME_JOB_MESSAGE column, would be great for us. @jlutherthomas
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: A good method of upgrading FME Server between without using extra licenses for a testing environment
It would be useful to embed connection parameters when dealing with sql executor
ArcGIS ships with tile cache definitions for example in Pro at:C:Program FilesArcGISProResourcesTilingSchemesIt would be handy to import these when writing Geopackage - provided the scheme is compliant.@jakemolnar
To update a reader - just right click on it and select Update. As it is (unless I missed something - possible), when I modify a table or view in Oracle, to get the reader updated I have to presently: Click on Readers -> Update Feature Types... Select Reader it belongs to (hope you remembered) Click on Parameters... button (Thankfully 2015 "remembers the username and password") - Click on the ... button for the Table List Deselect everything I don't want to update Select the thing I do want to update Click OK Click OK Click OK Painful, lengthy, potentially error-prone process... do I need to say more?
Uploading the same named workspace seems to make no changes sometimes. (cached maybe?) current Workarounds are - rename the workspace to another name. Restart fme GUI sessions re-login (slower than 1st option) So can a 'replace' option in the upload to fmeserver from desktop to force the changes... to the same workspace. Maybe a replace, append or modified mode option? If possible.
Support reading/writing to HDFS and Hive and others -- indicate in the comments your ideas.
I often need to add spatial tables (PostGIS) and non spatial tables (PostgreSQL) in the same workspace.For spatial tables, I'm adding a PostGIS reader.For non spatial tables, I'm adding a PostgreSQL reader but I need to uncheck spatial tables because I dont want to read them with the PostgreSQL reader (the PostGIS reader already read them).And if I have many tables, it's not convenient.So I would like a parameter for the PostgreSQL reader to include/exclude spatial tables from the tables list or a symbol in the tables list to distinguish spatial and non spatial tables, or a button "select/unselect spatial tables".
I recently got a batch of files to convert and one of the file formats is DWFx. However, it appears this format is not supported. As this is an AutoCad file format, i suspect it will quickly see heavier use, so could you add it to the supported file formats?
If you write an FFS file with FME 2018, it's not readable by FME 2017. It would be nice if there was a parameter on the writer where you could specify compatibility with older versions
I have a number or workspaces that have become too big to see in full when I zoom all the way out. Now, I know what you're going to say: "Surely that goes against best practice!" or "Get a bigger monitor!" or even "Can't you now just use collapsible bookmarks!"Well I just think that this would be a nice to have. I'm kind of proud about how big my workflow is. I've documented it well and it's laid out in a way that makes sense to me. What are your thoughts on this?
The current coordinaterounder transformer only rounds coordinates to the nearest value, while the attributerounder does offer the possibility to set the Round-off Direction to UP, Down or Nearest.Some GIS software (like Hexagon gTechnology) rounds coordinates down internally, to a certain decimal (set in the gTechnology setting) when it validates connectivity.Because the coordinaterounder transformer cannot round coordinates down, FME cannot produce the same results as gTechnology when checking the connectivity.
I would like to see that the ArcGIS Online writer supports the fme_db_operation attribute. Now you have to choose and have to add multiple writers if you want to execute e.g. update and insert operations. I would prefer steering this through an attribute.
I would like it very much if it would be possible to filter data in the 3D view in the Data Inspector, as can be done with the 2D view. Currently Filter is greyed out in the 3D view.
It would be great to be able to test a named connection within FME Server in the same way it is possible to do in FME Desktop.
Hello,please, is it possible to add typical combobox to PDFPageFormatter transformer parameters, for "Page Width" and "Page Height"? I miss quite a lot the offer to choose width and height according to attribute value.I miss combobox for parameters Page Width and Page Height like that:Thank You so much!Lubo
I work on Internet of Things projects. We have lots of sensors that provide data that needs to be timestamped with milisecond accuracy so that we can see which combination of sensors recognize events and objects. I want to do correlation between data at a milisecond accurracy. The issue is that I cannot directly convert the time information (milliseconds from epoc) to date with the DateFormatter, since the %s directive only takes integer values; http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Transformers/FME_Transformers.htm#Transformers/dateformatter.htm
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Having timely updates to the ADAC scripts within FME will allow organisation to fully utilise the benefits of each ADAC version update.
Add a writer so you can move terrainmodels, houses, road, pipes from FME to this great game! Based on the Unity 3D engine! http://www.citiesskylines.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xj4ciP0Riw
When the user needs to sort huge number of features grouping by an attribute value, it could be performed more efficiently if the Sorter had the Group By and Parallel Processing Level parameters. In the expected Sorter, when the user has set an attribute to the Group By parameter but not set sort keys, it should work to just make the order of features by group. If it could be done efficiently in conjunction with parallel processing, the performance of a following transformer that has the "Input is Ordered by Group" parameter could also be improved. e.g. Aggregator.
In many cases, especially when integrating FME Server in custom applications it is neccessary to know if a given parameter is optional or not. For example to give the user visual feedback if a certain parameter may not be empty. This information exists in the workbench, but is not published through the REST Interface.
