Hilike the OSM downloader what do you think to have a transformer to download overture maps layer based on administrative layer (also present in the overture maps dataset) ?
At the moment it is not possible to use special characters, such as '(' and ')' in feature type names in Writers. Many formats do support these characters, but it is not possible to use these in FME, since they are being replaced with an underscore. Please implement this. Note: It is also not possible to create an attribute containing the feature type name and use this as the feature type, it still gives an error since FME replaces these characters with an underscore.
Please integrate or add the support to bitbucket repository in addition to github.Implement possibility to checkout branches or specific tags.Thank you.
When verifying DWG-files and see if they are according to standards in the AEC market one need to check information for the Layout tabs in DWG-files. The autocad_layout feature together with the Reader Parameter "Read Paper Space Layout Information" would need some updates regarding to this. It would be beneficial if we could also read:Paper sizePlot scaleDrawing scaleCTB-file (already a posted idea)
Currently in the user parameters you can setup a choice and import your values from an existing file. This means that all your values are hardcoded in the workflow, if you lookup table changes, the workflow doesn't change with it.Ideally if you start the workflow, you provide the details for the lookup table (either file or in my case a database) and the values are looked up on the fly and in the second parameter you select your choice.Maybe this is a bit in line with: This idea
How great it would be to ask the user to draw a boundary on a map when running a workspace on a desktop version? I know there are plenty of fancy options like FME server/flow with an api. But I am out for something much simpler. Simpler to set up, simpler to run, simpler to maintain. Just a map and a polygon in the user prompt UI which returns a boundary as WKT-text for example, just like any other text prompt.
SIEM tools such as Splunk, Solarwinds, and Rapid7 perform analytics on log files and event streams to identify both security issues and network or application performance issues. SIEM tools typically work on the syslog or CEF formats but can also take an event feed through SNMP (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol).SIEM tools for monitoring are coming up more often in enterprise customer requirements. Some use cases to log from an application integration viewpoint include:start/stop events for FME Flow servicesConnection request to an application - success/failure event with error through HTTPCaller.Logger Support for syslog and CEF.Logger capturing, filtering, and formatting the published log up to the current execution point in a workspaceBatch export of FME Flow and Form jobs and log files in syslog and CEF formats.FME Automation start/stopAPI calls to FME (such as webhooks)Add/delete/update FME Flow user (including SSO users)FME Token access request through FME API, including the associated token useridPublishing these various FME-specific events through SNMP
Create an add-on for ArcGIS Monitor that pulls data from FME Server into ArcGIS Monitor.
I am working on a workflow which automates the download of an ArcGIS Online Feature Service and save it as a geodatabase. The service contains attachments which I'm trying to preserve. I can see that as of FME 2017.1 I can now download the attachments from AGOL which is awesome but saving these to a geodatabase becomes problematic. I can see from this article that there is a way to do it but it seems overly complex and still appears to involve a manual step.
EXIF writer. The reader already exists and has been useful.
As the title says, add the action get attribues on a blob in the AzureBlobStorageConnector. With x of files, and you want to find all the corrupt data which has a contentLength of 0, this would be very handy.
It would be handy if you could convert an sql creator to an sql executor without losing anything of the already filled in parameters. Imagine if you could just convert these transformers back and forth with a simple right mouse click. This can save some time when you are in your development process and suddenly you realize that all these sqlcreators that all have been configured should be transformed to sql executors for some reason.This could be a potentially real time saver!
It would be ergonomic to have a button to clear the list of provided values when entering attributes to expose.Actual workaround : CTRL+A, DELETE
The FMW Workspace Reader needs to be updated to return attributes in writers, along with their data types, lengths, and any other schema related information.
The RasterExpressionEvaluator supports only 1 or 2 rasters. It would be nice if you could add as many input ports as required. Similarly to how the MapnikRasterizer behaves.While it is possible to workaround by using a RasterBandCombiner to combine all the rasters into 1, this is not very efficient and can make for complicated expressions.
With the new deployment parameters it would be nice to upgrade the Jobsubmitter also. To handle:Tokens instead of username/password so you can more easily convert between different FME Flow instancesAlso start a DataDownload service
Allow styling of the tables in HTMLReportGenerator to make tables more personalised.Such as: Changing fonts and font colourChange the size of the columns and the format of the columns (right aligned, centre aligned, etc)Modify the colour of the rows when the table style is set to striped
Hi,I've just used the HTMLReportGenerator, and the result is not exactly how I want it to beHere are some suggestion to enhance the transformer's output:A choice to generate only a part of a HTML document, i.e. something that can easily be embedded in the body part. This way one could assemble multiple parts into a single document with ease.A choice to avoid having the textual content html encoded, so HTML tags can be used freely.Add the possibilty of embedding some CSS styling into the HTML document, especially the possibility to specify text fonts and font size.Alternatively, adding a CSS file/url reference would be great.CheersLars I
Currently the FME Cloud/Server REST API supports Swagger 1.2. Would it be possible to upgrade to Swagger 2.0, or maybe support both in parallel? Some tools for code generation require Swagger 2.0 and this would make it easier to write FME Server clients.
Case in question: File Geodatabase writer fails, because it attempts to add a field/column named "ObjectID", which is present in the input data. This is apparently a reserved name. And the error message never mentions the offending column name!It would be much better, if such obstacles were dealt with automatically by any writer, by either removing or renaming such problems, and instead issuing a warning about them.The problem exists in 2023.1.Cheers.
Currently you have to check the option to overwrite contents when importing a Project. If you forget to check the box, you might think that the import process was successful, but if an item already existed, it will be left as is. It is preferable from a UI perspective to get prompted if an imported Project contains items that already exist, listing out what those are, and give the option to overwrite any of those listed items. Do away with the checkbox and prompt instead!
For documentation purposes it would be nice to have an option to export a list of objects that are contained in a project.Preferred output format would be Excel, but another format could also work (text, csv).
It would be great to be able to go to the specific elements of a Project in FME Server by just clicking on them from the Content view instead of having to navigate through the Web UI
Create a project based set of parameters that could be shared between workspaces in that project. All workspaces in the project would "inherit" the parameters making it easier for management and updates.
For deployment from ACC to PROD, my customer wants to include all the schedules of a certain category (e.g. publication) into a project. Currently, you would have to add the new schedules to the project manually. This could be easier when you were able to add all the schedules of the category publication tot the project. Every time you export the project, all the Schedules would be included.
