Aggregator supports sum and average, I'm dealing with dates and want to know earliest and latest in the aggregate feature, it is easy enough to use ListRangeExtractor after aggregation but while we're there....
Add an option to the TimeStamper to create a global time stamp, similar as the counter creates a global count. Also add an option to create the timestamp attribute only once for the time of the first or last feature passing the transformer. This is relevant, for example, when fanning out on a filename with a timestamp where different timestamps on the filename result in separate files.
Instead of use many engines to generate a dashboard, you can use the notification stream in FME Server. Example: for each job started by FME Server, you send an notification to dashboard page (realtime ws)
Add a dynamic header based on attributes.
I think the option to save favourite workspaces in place or addition to the recently used option, like in web browsers. So workspaces that are important or use regularly save in your favourites for easy access in case they get bumped out of the recently used.
When I use the VectorCreator transformer in mode Replace Point At Index, I would like to specify a value by selecting the attribute name from the pull-down list or by other advanced functions (Advanced editor, arithmetic editor, etc.). Here is the option availables :Here is what I would like to be able to do :
HiEIVA is a industry leading softwares for bathymetry pipeline data used by oil and gas companies world wide. The EIVA NModel application uses a common db (spatialite) which can be utilized in FME. But these tables also contain BLOB data in binary forms. It would be most valuable to have a FME reader to extract the processed depth data to streamline data exports etc and make validations.Best regardsAndre Reinlert @ mmt
This is small potatoes, I know, but would be a simple and common relief.As the workspace name is shown as the first text on the window title, this is an important feature when working with multiple workspaces.And here's the text "None -> None (untitled)" or similar auto-generated gibberish not very helpful.Cheers
I see there is a new formats webpage - when clicking one format it would be great to easily see which types of geometry was supproted - the Quick Facts about each format on each page below the reader/wrriter summary (on for instance http://www.safe.com/integrate/microsoft-sharepoint-list/)
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Add a Warning message whenever the PointOnAreaOverlayer transformer deaggregates MultiPart polygons I recently discovered that the PointonAreaOverlayer deaggregates MultiPart polygons. I often both need the output points and areas for the rest of my model and it is a bit weird that the number of features before the analysis differs from the number of features afterwards. It would be nice to have a Warning message appear in your logfile each time MultiPart polygons are send to the PointOnAreaOverlayer (similar to the message you receive when sending MultiPart polygons to the dissolver transformer). I added a small workspace to clarify this 'deaggregating' behaviour.poa.png
Would like to select multiple connections and right click and Add Breakpoint to these selected connections. Currently have to add to each one separately. Already existing when right click with multiple connections selected is the option to Disable/Enable and Delete.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Automate conversion of embedded database connections to the 'named' database connections I've got almost 1000 workspaces and I need to convert them from embedded database connections to the 'named' database connections. Can this be done in an automated way?
The XMLtemplater has a parameter to Validate Attribute/Templates Names, and when it's set to yes, the transformer has the red gear to indicate it's incomplete. But that's it.It would be nice if at the very least which template(s) contain the issues were highlighted.Even better would be if the attribute/template itself were highlighted.
Not a Mac-user myself, but a client says during the installation he needs to uncheck the "Needs to be approved by developer" or similar, to be able to install it. Also it seems to take many GB of RAM when doing the "verifying installation" part. Anyone can confirm or help add more details to this issue?
I found that the Table View in Data Inspector (FME 2017.0 beta build 17153) exposes list elements when the user attributes only consist of list attributes.I don't know whether it's an intentional behavior, but I think it would be definitely convenient if the Table View could expose list elements optionally. In the latest build, list elements cannot be exposed if the features have a regular (non-list) attribute.However, it would be too cluttered if all the list elements always were shown in the Table View Schema dialog. How about adding a functionality to the Table View Schema, so that the user can select and add list elements to the "Selected columns" list? The UI would be similar to this dialog used in Workbench.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Allow multiple engines to be configured but limit concurrent use to the number of engines licensed I have FME Server 64bit installed on one system and ArcGIS Server on another. I also need access to FME 32bit formats that are not supported by the single FME Server 64bit engine. As I only have 1 engine license but want to be able to work with all these formats I need 3 engine licenses... Local 64bit engine A 32bit engine for the 32bit only formats. Engine for the ArcGIS Server system to support the occasionally reading and writing to Geodatabase If FME Server was able to limit 1 engine to be used at any one time, and I could install FME Server engines on the other 2 systems... then I could remain with just the one FME Server Engine license. I don't often need to use the 32bit engine, and I only interact with the Geodatabase SDE occasionally. Currently I need to reconfigure FME Server each time I need to run jobs that require the other engine types. It would be great if I could configure FME Server with 3 engines (as above) and via job routing control what engine should run what job, but only ever run a single concurrent job (do to the limiting fact that I only have 1 engine license available).

The BoxConnector, currently available in FME 2017.0 Beta, allows users to easily download files from their Box.com account. According to the Box.com API, there is support to download a specific range of bytes for the file: https://docs.box.com/reference#download-a-fileThis can be achieved by specifying Range as a Header in the HTTPCaller,Can this be incorporated into the new BoxConnector transformer?
if you're interested in using Couchbase noSQL with FME please add your thoughts here. And if your interested in read or write support (or both)
it'd be helpful to make testing of text values more easy with a new operator that allows tests against an array/list of values with the functionality of the operator "contains". it'd save a lot of test clauses like shown in the example below
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Add Description as attribute with reading WorkspaceProperties like Usage and Requirements With FME 2016 we can read .fmw files.I'm missing description
Following this question csv flushing it has been suggested that the FME CSV writer should auto-flush the writes following a manual cessation of the workspace.
