Beginning in Tableau version v10.5 (January 2018), extracts use the .hyper format instead of the .tde format. Extracts in the .hyper format take advantage of an improved data engine, which supports the same fast analytical and query performance as the data engine before it, but for even larger extracts.Suggest creating a writer for Tableau's new extract file format ".hyper".
I am working on a support case where a client is trying to convert a mapinfo TAB file to a shapefile (easy enough) but wishes to also retain the symbology information. It appears that the functionality to create a Esri .lyr file to pair with a shapefile/feature class does not currently exist. A "EsriStyler" transformer/Layer File writer would be an excellent addition.
Apache Ignite is a distributed database management system for high-performance computing with in-memory speed. Posting this idea to gauge interest in the development of a formal format. Note: FME can likely connect to this database already via the JDBC Reader/Writer as Ignite has a driver that you can download here: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/SQL/JDBC/jdbc-driverFME's JDBC Reader/Writer documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/jdbc/jdbc.htm
Because the default CRC-32 algorithm occasionally returns duplicates I use MD5. I noticed that MD5 does not uses geometry.
When using two CRCCalculators, one with CRC-32 and a second one with MD5 algorithm the first CRCCalculator uses also MD5 for the calculation of the second feature.As a work-around a FeatureHolder in between solves the problem
Hi,I really like the FeatureWriter Transformer but I think there are two important features that are currently missing:Update the feature types (as it is possible for normal writers)Allow to expand the attribute list of the feature types to check the attribute mappingKind regards,Dennis
If I want to chain several AttributeFilters together to drill down, shouldn't it filter out attributes in the output so that I can only select from the previously filtered attributes? Instead when importing a second AttributeFilter, it gives me everything again. To me, that's a bug, but maybe you intend to have access to everything? What about having a "Local" setting to only show attributes not filtered? Otherwise you have to pick through the import of attributes again. Thanks!
A job submit by the FMEServerJobSubmitter will never post to a topic on success or failure, even if it was registered with it at publishing time. Nor is there a way to set a topic to post to within the FMEServerJobSubmitter. It would be great to be able to chain and control jobs with the FMEServerJobSubmitter, and still make use of the power of FME Server notifications/automations.
Currently it is possible to set a network based resource connection on FME Server with a name using forbidden characters for an equivalent user parameter in FME Desktop. For example, you can set a resource connection with the following name (not the display name), 05-700-FMESERVER, which will give $(05-700-FMESERVER) when browsing it for a folder connection in a workspace on FME Server. You can use this key to call the connection. However, setting a user parameter in FME Desktop is impossible with the name 05-700-FMESERVER... Which is bothering when you want to test your workbench locally before to publish it. Harmonizing the naming convention and constraints would be really great.
Hello,Can you add the possibility to read .SBET file in FME ?PDAL can open SBET (https://pdal.io/en/stable/stages/readers.sbet.html)The SBET format is use used for exchange data from inertial measurement units (IMUs). This format is an almost universal format for describing trajectory of IMU system. SBET mean Smothed Best Estimate of Trajectory. Generally it's output from Applanix product but can be read easily by free viewer/converter.The file is mainly composed of text like, each line is new record who descibe position, time and attitude of the IMU.Regards
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: HTTPCaller transformer - adjustable Query String Parameter & Multipart Upload grids/tables Parameters for some Rest API can be a few (maybe 4 or more) and it would be nice to be able to adjust the grids to see more rows. Looks like it's locked to two right now but you can scroll up or down.
It might be interesting if FME could support Full Motion Video. There are a number of ways that FME could be involved, such as: clip by time, clip by location, sample / extract frames as rasters, combine, split, resize, georeference, extract georeferencing, embed georeferencing, sync video and audio.Then there may be standards emerging that FME could utilize. How would you like to use FME with Full Motion Video?
An option like 'Run command' in the Transfer type dropdown with a 'Comand(s) to run' text box which runs the commands in the URL directory and returns the server responses would be great.It would save Python/WinSCP calls to run mv, chmod, cp, (mkdir, rmdir ;) ), etc commands.
As someone who relies heavily on the emailer transformer, seeing Microsoft move away from SMTP AUTH is a little scary. They're strongly encouraging customers to move away from basic authentication with SMTP AUTH when possible. It sounds like SMTP will be around for a while longer, but it would be nice to have OAuth support in the emailer as security continues to become a major priority. What do you think the future holds for SMTP AUTH? Let's get some discussion going.
Create a Power BI writer to enable use with FME Server to allow for automatic updates to Power BI dashboards without having to refresh/ping original (database) source. Power BI Writer question: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/59410/power-bi-writer.html
Add an option to the triggers of an Automation when a repository changes just as you can watch an directory. This would be great to use for automatic code review of the workspace and sending out messages to Teams or the like that there is a new workspace or an altered one.For now I probably have to make a separate workspace that checks the log files to see if there is a PUT action and then take the relevant information out of it. Probably I will get that to work, but it seems a bit hackish.
HiIt it would be great having a transformer similar to ESRI's ArcGIS Raster "Reclassify" and "Relcass" by Table tools.Thanks
When using the ArcGIS Online feature service as a reader, the values of the fields with domaines are coded. Would be great to have the description of the domaine.
It would be nice to include ADFS as an authentication service on FME Server for SAML/SSO.
I ran into a problem where couple of my workspaces crash before I get to saved the workspace (it seem to always crash when I'm working on adding logic into Test filter for some reason). I think it would be nice if there's a way we can recover the workspace partially or full workspace if we ran the workspace with cache on or something like that and the workspace will be located at temporary files directory where cache file was saving at.
I still run into the issue of the GDrive connector failing and terminating the workspace for failed HTTP errors. For my case these are internal server errors (code 500), stating "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded". This was explored in this thread, but the issue still exists even with a custom web connection using a Google API key, and the limits (viewed via the drive API console) are nowhere near being exceeded. I believe an automatic retry of failed HTTP requests would fix this issue, as suggested in the drive api guide by including an "exponential backoff".
We receive 100s of flood studies that contain flood extents, depths, velocities supplied in ESRI Gridfloat (.flt) format that are need to to be integrated into our GIS systems.It would be really great if FME would support this format, at least as a Reader as it would really help our workflow, which currently has alot of manual steps that really take up way too much time.The forum post https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hGJySAM/flt-to-icad-format suggests that Safe were considering implementing this, but as this is over 5 years old it's worth chasing up!
The autocad_hatch_associative atribute in the ACAD Reader indicates if an hatch is associative or not but it is available only in read mode. Its use in the ACAD writer would be welcome.
If we could have java script in Server Apps it would enable Oauth2 delegated permissions. For example writing the output of a workflow to a users OneDrive. Java Script embedded at the front end of a server app could retrieve a delegated token from an authentication service. (If there is another way to do this please let me know)
