HTTPCaller: add application/soap+xml content type
It would be nice if it was possible to write to Google Sheets in Team Drive.
With FME now supporting web socket layer there is an inherent problem in the product I've noticed. That is, the most important part of a web socket connection is the ability to publish real time data to applications. Unfortunately this ties up an ENTIRE FME engine constantly. From my perspective there is very little use for the web socket layer in the current model. There needs to be an extension or something on a different costing model which allows multiple feeds to be running constantly. To give an idea of where I'm coming from I'll explain my situation. Real time traffic and transport management applications is what I'm working with at the moment and when you're receiving GPS from your assets and from monitoring systems I want to connect the data/events together in a real time web mapping application. Currently, FME can in no way be fit for purpose (unless 20 FME engine licenses suddenly drop in price).This is the article I base any assumptions off: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1305/websocket...
It would be nice to have any tables brought in to the workspace with transformers to show up in the navigator pane perhaps under a reader called other sources.For example, I have to look in each workspace for any Joiners, SDE Queriers, Database Updaters and Feature readers and open them up individually to see what they are looking for.
Please add the capability to get the type behind the object type of an ifc class instance. For more information please look at this post : https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/53340/ifc-class-and-ifc-object-type.html?
This would be particularly helpful when using a reader with a single merged feature type (for example when reading a geodatabase). The navigator only lists one feature but you have in fact selected several. You need to open the "Features to Read" parameter to see which ones you have selected where a list in the navigator would be preferred. This would also help when the Features to read is different from the feature types
Just as Desktop make a home edition available for Server. Ideal for home automation and fun.
It would be great to add a Page Content called HTML where the user could just input any HTML at that place.
Network cost calculator - set max distance. Add parameter. Currently using PgRouting via SQLExecutor, FeatureReader + FeatureWriter to/from PostGIS
show captured groups in regular expression editor. Possibly in the results
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: HTMLReportGenerator / HTMLLayouter - Ability to specify padding (e.g. Google Map) When a Map (Google) is selected in HTMLReportGenerator, it is created with the padding set to 10px on all sides. It would be great if I could set padding-left, padding-right, etc! I find that because the map stretches all the way across the page it is difficult to "comfortably" scroll down – especially when there are multiple maps. *Note: The padding in the <div> tags doesn't appear to be inserted until features are collated with the HTMLLayouter. If anyone is interested, I just used a StringReplacer to workaround this for now.
Add support for B3D (Binary 3D) used in tools similar to Cesium
Running PL/SQL in Oracle from various transformers on readers/writers would really benefit if FME could handle the procedure's IN, OUT and INOUT parameters
Instead of finding neighbors set a radial distance from the feature, find neighbors that only fall in a particular linear direction or azimuth. It would be nice to have limited or unlimited distance and neighbors, and even nicer to have a lateral tolerance for how close to the line a prospective neighbor might be.
A complete clone of the StaticMapFetcher in the Transformer Hub, but instead of using Google Maps it should use OSM. Google's base mapping is very restricted in how it can be reused so the OSM background mapping is a better option if the transformer is ever used to create exports (PNG/JPG/etc).
It would be very handy to be able to set a zoom level for the map options that support it in HTMLReportGenerator (e.g. Google). Right now I have a workspace that creates points all over the world, and the default zoom level effectively duplicates the map when I am using a different subset of the same data points to make multiple maps.
'fme' module should be importable outside of FME context. Such as PyCharm
Add support for Open Air / SUA format / TND
Create a GQueryExploder
Support IBM Cloud Storage in a similar way to S3
It would be nice if the FeatureHolder would have a parameter works like "Group By" or "Connection Break Attributes" in the LineBuilder.If there were the parameter, could be applied to this case effectively.How to filter a csv file based on the last row in FME
Being able to read Tables From Web Pages (with a URL) and convert them in any other tabular formats.
It would be nice to have a transformer where you could query a REST service (both Feature Service and Map Service) and have all of the fields be autoparsed out as attributes.
Related to this questionWhen you've set up an AttributeRemover and the schema of the input data changes so that one or more of the attributes you're trying to remove is no longer there it does show this as an error (red) in the parameters, but the cog wheel icon doesn't change.The workspace itself runs fine (which makes sense: the AttributeRemover is trying to remove an attribute that doesn't exist, easy job!)I'd like to suggest that in this case the cog wheel icon changes to yellow to indicate you may want to check that out.
