Integration

Hi Folks,For reading and writing ArcGIS Online feature services we are transitioning to the newer Esri ArcGIS Feature Service format in FME Flow 2024.2 from the soon to be deprecated Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature Service (at least according to this article)My problem is that now the reader seems to read dates as Epoch time in milliseconds! Obviously this can be worked around but it is quite painful to fix up the many workspaces we have which used the older reader and read dates as YYYYMMDD etc. especially when writing back to AGOL where the dates have to be back in  YYYYMMDD.Any thoughts?  

Hi, I have a list of 100+ WMS services our company is using in a plugin for QGIS. I’d like to publish these to our enterprise portal, and I thought the ArcGISOnlineConnector seemed like the right choice, due to it haven the setting:Action: UploadURL : WMS URL https://***.net/geoserver/dai/wms?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&version=1.3.0 URL Item Type: WMS ?  My error is :ERROR |Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::ExceptionERROR |Python Exception <TypeError>: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneTypeERROR |Error encountered while calling method `input'FATAL |ArcGISOnlineConnector_CALLER (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature What have I misunderstood ? Or is there a better option ? Thanks in advance.  

Hi !I have an image in my documents folder and I need to add it into excel on a specific cell. I saw a training available, but it uses an image fetcher. image fetcher cant be used with a folder path.Looking for inspiration as I have hit several walls.Thoughts?Thanks, in advanced.   

Hello, I am attempting to copy an ArcGIS Server Feature Service from our Production portal to our Staging portal as a test migration using ArcGIS Data Interoperability (FME). The migration runs successfully, and the layer is created on the destination portal with all point features appearing correctly. However, every attribute field in the destination portal is empty for the layer.For this workflow, I used: Reader: Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Writer: Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service The strange part is that when I inspect the data immediately before the writer, all attribute values are present and correct in the Visual Preview. But once the writer publishes the layer to the portal, the attributes do not appear, only the geometry is transferred.Could you please help identify what might be causing the attribute values to be lost during the migration?

I have a workspace that is reading a table via the MS SQL JDBC reader and writing the output to an Esri File Geodatabase feature class. It works in FME Form. However, In FME Flow, it fails after the following message (not a warning or error) and shows 0 warnings/errors in the log:Writer `GEODATABASE_FILE_1' of type `GEODATABASE_FILE' using group definition keyword `GEODATABASE_FILE_1_DEFIf I read the same exact data in from a CSV file and write to the Esri File Geodatabase, it works in FME Flow. If I read from the MS SQL database and write to an Open API File Geodatabase, it also works. However, I need to use the Esri writer in production for updates due to some Esri-specific functionality. It seems that there is some sort of odd bug specifically when using the MS SQL JDBC reader and Esri File Geodatabase writer in FME Flow. Has anyone else run into this or have any suggestions?Notes: I’ve tried with the SQLCreator, SQLExecutor, and a reader. It still worked in Form but not Flow. We ha

I have a lot of multipage PDF documents that I need to each summarize. Does anyone have any tips/experience/recommendations with working with multipage pdfs in FME and an AI of choice?I’ve played around with Copilot a bit and have got prompts to return pretty good results, but it seems like FME doesn’t natively support Copilot, so I’ll have to probably switch AI solutions. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m trying to read dwg files containing AEC objects and have found that the Civil 3D reader should be the one to use for this purpose. With this reader, I manage to read features but they are just a proxy of the correct objects that I’m trying to read.Is there an automated solution for this in FME (some parameter that I’m missing?) or do I have to save the model in a separate dwg file as described in this post (8 years ago) before I can read all objects correctly in FME?Thanks!

Hello everyone,I’m currently facing a challenge with writing an IoT data stream directly to an ArcGIS Online (AGOL) hosted feature service using FME. While I’ve successfully configured the stream to write to a local SQLite database, I’ve been unable to achieve the same with AGOL.I’ve attempted to use the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service Writer transformer, but unfortunately, it hasn’t worked as expected in stream mode. I’m wondering if there’s an alternative transformer or method that supports continuous writing to an AGOL feature service.Here’s a brief overview of my FME workspace setup:Input Source: Reading data from an MQTT broker in stream mode using the MQTTConnector. Data Processing: Filtering incoming messages into different groups based on sensor types. Output Goal: Writing the processed data to an AGOL hosted feature service. Runtime: The workspace is designed to run continuously to handle real-time data.Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciate

Hi All,I have written a workspace that downloads features (and attachments) from an AGOL Feature Service, and everything was working fine until about 2 weeks ago. Then it suddenly, and for no reason that I can see, stopped working. The error message is as below:2024-07-12 09:38:47|   5.7|  2.1|ERROR |ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader: Could not connect to server.

I have a pretty simple problem but I cound not find any solution. I tried feature joiner and added counter so that I have a field in common for bot tables but still didnt work. Attribute manager does like “what I get” which is not really what I want. Any Idea ?   

Hi guys,This week I created a nice model A with runs smoothly combined with a main script B which includes a workspacerunner triggering workspace A. Is there a way I can track whether all the scripts started by the Workspace Runner are ready?In my case 21 features entered the WorkspaceRunner, starting model A, which leads to creation of 18 Excel files which is perfect. I would like to create a log somehow that 21 workspaces were started and 21 workspaces were completed resulting in 18 Excel files in this case.Workspace B now states that the WorkspaceRunner is finished, however, on the background workspace(s) A is still running for some time. 

Hello.So I have created a workflow on Form where I:Read in a specific sheet from a specific excel file stored on my C Make some changes in the digits of that sheet Enter those changes to a feature writer where I update the sheet in question on my C That then triggers a feature reader that reads in the excel document that I just updated with the feature writer on my C The excel read in the feature reader has then done all the calculations based on the newly entered criteria. Process this onwardsThe purpose of this workflow is that the excel in question is a complex calculation module that has multiple intertwined sheets, so by doing this I just open up Form, fill out some published parameters (the digit changes) and then export an excel with calculation results. All without ever needing to open excel.My problem is that now I want to put this process on Flow with the following setup:Read in a specific sheet from a specific excel file stored in the resource folder on Flow Make some change

Hello, I’m starting my journey with Webhooking and of course I am already running into problems. So I have Enterprise 11.3 and Flow 2024.1 and no hosting enabled on Enterprise.So my workflow is fairly simple, I have created the following Webhook on our server: For the following service:Which then calls the very simple automatation on our Flow where any creation, updating or deleting in the dataset in the FeatureService (remember this service is referenced and not hosted) should kick of a single workspace and thats the end.However doing anything in that FeatureService, be it creating, updating or deleting does not kick of my automation. I have checked if Flow and Enterprise are speaking well together and it seems to be so as when I originally create the Webhook then the same automation kicks off with great results (its not a organisational webhook), just not when I then start to do stuff in the dataset itself. I have also made sure that the dataset in the FeatureService that originates

In this installation window, the folders look like in Windows 95 ! :D 

Hello everyone, I have colleagues who were wondering whether there would be git integration available with fme workbench.I understand now at the moment there is no integration directly in fme workbench with git. However it's possible to manually check in .fmw scripts in git I heard, but I think it would be an useful functionality if you dan do that directly from fme workbench. I was wondering whether something like that would be available in the future.

Good day, I have this table in green. I want to regroup row 2 to 5 so the result should like row 11. Here is how row 2 to row 5 are connected:Row 2 to Row 3: row 2 end_crct_id = row 3 crct_id, Row 3 to Row 4: row 3 crct_id = row 4 begin_crct_id, Row 4 to Row 5: row 4 end_crct_id = row 5 crct_id.I have several of these cases, this only an example. The number of rows to combine varies every time.

Hello team!What is the recommended strategy to secure secrets in FME Form and python scrypts. Thanks in advance.have a great rest of your day. 

I’ve been experimenting in FME and reading some conflicting data on this but it seems like there isn’t a way to publish from FME to AGOL raster data without the image license for ArcGIS online. Either AGOL stores it as an image file or FME will store it as a BLOB. I’ve tried using the pythoncaller and httpcaller to no avail. Anyone know any other workaround / have experience here?

Yes he does have hallucinations ! This transformer doesn’t exist. I wish it would though. 

Hello FME Community, Salesforce recently announced the retirement of their SOAP API login().  Are there plans to replace the current Salesforce readers and writers or update them to support Salesforce’s OAuth 2.0 Flow?  Currently the readers and writers use /services/Soap/u/51.0 which will be retired in the Summer 27 release.  I’ve used these a good bit in production workspaces, so need to start mapping out some transition plans.  For retrieving data, the SalesforceConnector will work, but it’s nice to be able to write and update data with a drop in transformer rather than setting up HTTP callers with Salesforce’s REST API. Any thoughts on the current plan for the Salesforce readers/writers or ideas on how to make this transition seamlessly?

Hello,I’m using FME 2024.2 to read ORD DGN files stored in ProjectWise.The DGN files have a local coordinate system (LCC) defined in ORD, but when I read them into FME, the detected GCS appears incorrect — particularly the ORG_LAT value. Because of that, when I try to set the coordinate system and reproject to State Plane, the transformation doesn’t work properly.Has anyone encountered this issue before?Does the GCS definition in ORD need to follow a specific format or standard to be recognized correctly by FME?Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!GCS shown for features in FME 

Hello, I would like to send notification to the InspectedBy field value on an Inspection when the Inspection is Completed but a Required field on the Inspection has not been populated using FME Workbench. I am new to FME and learning. Could anyone please give sample of FME Form Workspace for this please. ThanksAnita

Hi all, I’m wondering if it's possible to pull ArcGIS Server Logs data (Errors, Logs and Statistics)I’d like to do some fun FME diagnostic work on this data: using AI to read log messages, recording daily statistics and comparing stats daily and possibly alerting GIS by email.

Hello,I have not posted for a long time. I have been using FME Workbench 2022.2 and just now upgraded to FME Workbench 2025.1.  What I have noticed is:In 2022.2 → Generate Workspace → Convert multiple files in any format into ESRI Shape format. I had no issues doing this.In 2025.1 → Generate Workspace → Convert multiple files in any format into ESRI Shape format.  I get an error: “Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Spatial. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details”I do not have ESRI products installed on my server. (I never have needed them in past versions.)Also to note, I CAN convert one dataset (format doesn’t matter just other than Shape file) into an ESRI Shape file format successfully. It seems as though d
