Currently FME Server Job Log Lines are restricted to 500 per page. Let's allow to choose this number by user. It may be for example choice between 500/2000/5000 lines per page.
There are cases where the BulkAttributeRenamer cannot expose new attributes / hide old attributes automatically, especially in the Regular Expression Replace mode. It might be useful if these parameters would be added to the BulkAttributeRenamer.Attributes to ExposeAttributes to HideLists to Hide
The FME i3s writer to output SLPK files is working great - but it only includes textures that can be displayed in ArcGIS Pro:Once uploading and publishing the SLPK to AGOL or ArcGIS Enterprise, the web scene does not display any textures.With the workaround to output the read 3D data as multipatch feature classes to a (scratch) gdb to be picked up from there in ArcGIS Pro, it would be way nicer to have the option to write SLPK-files with some texturing options like here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/create-3d-object-scene-layer-package.htm
Versioned SDE Geodatabase writing is exceptionally slow, which limits the functionality of FME for bulk data updates on large versioned datasets.Is there an ability for FME to "skip" creating a new version, and instead write directly to the default version in these cases?
It would be great if FME can show cached projection information off all the layers used in the workbench.
Hi, fellow FME-lovers!I have an interesting problem that you can help me solve in an efficient way.I have many pipe segements as solids in an ifc-file, see example in Test2.ifc. The pipes are in 3D and can be connected in all directions. (I'm not sure about the fittings but for now don't mind them.). Now, I need to calculate length per segment and I started working no a complicated scripts (2D and algebra...) but there must be more of an FME-way. I'm thinking along the lines of creating a center line from pipe start to end...If you have any ideas I will gladly listen. Bonus: what if segments are bent? Will this be handled in you solution?Peter
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Allow Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader/Writer to use a custom token for authentification Hello,It would be nice to be able to authenticate with simply a token for 'Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader/Writer'.Currently it is only possible with 'Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader' but there is no writer:"To read directly from a Feature Service without authentication, or with a manually-supplied token, use the Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader." (ref: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/arcgisportalfeatures/arcgisportalfeatures.htm) Usage of built-in account is not recommended in my organisation and I don't like the default OAuth one because it expired. I built a CLI to acquire a token because our SAML provider configured with Portal for ArcGIS has kerberos enabled but I can only use it for reader !Please help !Thanks
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Attribute Value Mapper could take in an attribute value as the destination attribute? I am resolving domains codes to descriptions. I may be walking the wrong road but I decide to use a attribute exploder which gave me the attribute name and the coded value. I have a sheet that contains all my coded values and their description so I used a feature merger to merge on the the value and the code. I was left with many values that needed to be updated. I had hoped to use the Attribute Value Mapper to quickly move the description to the attribute using the _attr_name from the exploder but the Destination Attribute in the mapper does not accept the parameter.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Let ArcGIS Online readers access features shared with your organization, rather than only group or owned content
Would it be possible to have a repository of XML templates that are compliant with various metadata standards (personal interest in EU-INSPIRE and UK Gemini) that could be easily loaded into the XMLTemplater? I think this would be a really useful starting point for users with limited XML knowledge like myself.Thank you
In the Engine Managemetn > Deployment Status, the page is sometimes centred but when zoomed out it is hard to get it to look proper again. View controls like zoom extent or switch between zoom and pan might be nice.
I need read and write dump files .backup
Clipper: Have an option for overlapping clippers to duplicate the clippee in the overlap region.
Mike by DHI is a common used software for e.g urban flooding analysis, seehttps://www.mikepoweredbydhi.com/. It would be great to be able to work with the format dfs0 (time series) and dfs2 (raster data) in FME Desktop. If possible to read data in FME it can be used for volume calculations of flooded areas, calculate flow to be used for design of stormwater solutions etc. Also makes it possible to perform spatial analysis (flooded area vs buildings etc).
Symbols such as 'Mapinfo Points Of Interest' and symbol types such as 'Webdings' and 'Windings' aren't available to choose from.
Include a feature to import existing .tab files into a 'Mapinfostyler' transformer? Manually setting up each option is time-consuming, especially when there multiple styles to set up.
Wouldn't it be fantastic to have the LeftRigthSpatialCalculator functionality to be included in the NeighborFinder? I just thought of it when I saw the "idea" below:Attribute accumulation for LeftRightSpatialCalculatorhttps://community.safe.com/s/idea/0874Q000000TlehQAC/detailCommunity, what do you think? Pros/Cons?
Would be nice to work with features supporting a 4th dimension. x,y,z,t coordinates. Render is not important, but would make a lovely visual effect if the data inspector supported the timeseries rendering. Scaling time is difficult, but having a max span of T seconds might work?
Often times user load the wrong file in the parameters in FME server. Could we set up a flag to check if they are loading the correct file format?Additionally, it would be great to have a checkbox that could be checked on or off to allow one or multiple files to be loaded. We have some requirements were a user needs to load one file only and they have loaded multiple.Thanks for any help you can provide on this issue.
I am running a process that has 53 stored procedures and its been painful to manually expose the attributes from the stored proc. Can we have a check box/ option to expose all or only some, but have the transformer read the schema? Thanks!
When exposing alot of IFC-attributes you need to select one and one. Make it possible to select multiple attribute.
Allow mouse wheel zoom in workspace. Wheel scrolling is not terribly useful in this area since pan handles that.Thanks for listening.Tyler
After refreshing the FME Server license it is easy to assume that additional engines will automatically be activated. A redirect to the engine management page or a popup with a link to that page will remind the admin that adding new engines is a multi step process.
I realized that when you're doing a loop inside a linked custom transformer, you don't have the possibility to redirect the loop to a private input. If you do that, you'll have a "LOOPBACK_INPUT_TAG" error.So you have to publish the input (even if you don't want it to be visible on the custom transformer).
Version Control is now in FME Server 2017.1As of the FME 2017.1 release, we have added Version Control to FME Server as a technology preview. This means that while it’s not quite ready for prime time yet, it is available to take for a test run.We’d like to call on anyone interested in this new feature and especially anyone who voted on any of the related ideas for this (definitely one of the more popular enhancement requests for FME with a total of 149 votes from 4 ideas!) to try this feature and let us know what you think.Give us your feedbackWe’re actively working on developing this new functionality and we want to hear from you!What works? What doesn’t? Does it fit in with how you currently work with FME Server? Does it line up with how you would have pictured versioning in FME Server? The more context you provide, the better.Please post your feedback as a comment back to this idea.How do I work with this? Simply turn on version control from the web interface. Once it’s configured, you can upload your workspaces to FME Server using the Publish to Server Wizard in Desktop. It will let you create new repositories to group your workspaces as you upload them. Once they are up there, you will be able to view and download past versions of your workspaces using FME Server’s web interface.We’ve put together a video introduction for this new feature covering enabling versioning, viewing history, rolling back, connecting to remote git repositories, preserving history across FME Server upgrades and configuring security settings. Check it out here:https://www.youtube.com/embed/4-XAm7_2O3cFor those who’d prefer the written word, check out the documentation:https://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/WebUI/Version-Control.htmI only have FME Desktop, can I try out Version Control too?Yes, of course! You can download FME Server from our Trial Download Page and install it. If you’re only using FME Server for version control (and not for running workspaces), you can simply dismiss the Engine Licensing Dialog that appears when you open the web interface. Now, you can use FME Server as a central repository for your workspaces and take advantage of other benefits such as easier sharing and collaboration. You’re free to keep using FME Server like this for as long as you want for all your workspace management tasks.
