Unable to connect to IBM DB2

Unable to connect to IBM DB2 in FME form 2024.2. I’ve checked with other members of my organizations’ logins and those work fine on my machine; it’s just this particular user that is having issues. Please see attached screenshots

Connecting to a live table in Microsoft Dataverse with FME Form

Hello Forum, I need to pull in a live Microsoft Dataverse data table using FME. The table contains coordinate pairs. I want to pull this out to create one useable polygon geojson file. Here’s a screenshot of the Dataverse table... Can I create a connection into Dataverse in FME Form? What kind of values do I need to present to FME Form (from Dataverse) to make it work? Do I need any particular permissions opened up on the Dataverse, or FME side? Thanks, Stuart

FeatureReader failes to retrieve featuretypes from ArcGIS Portal Service

We just a installed a new ArcGIS Enterprise (11.4) environment and want to connect to it with FME 2024.2 I successfully configured a Web Connection to the ArcGIS Portal using this guide. When I try retrieve Features Services from Portal this takes very long (4min) and eventually I get the an "Error Retrieving Selections” as below I tried connecting to https://mydomain/portal/sharing/rest/portals/self directly with an HttpCaller and the same Web Connection and that gives a good response✅. So my web connection is able to connect to ArcGIS Portal successfully. Just not with the FeatureReader. And also not with a traditional reader. Any ideas on how to solve this?

FME 2024.2.3 Publish Failed (Not Authorized)

Hi everybody I have FME Flow 2024.2.3 installed on a virtual machine in Azure. I'm trying to publish a workspace from my computer using FME Form (FME Workbench 2024.2.3), and the WAF blocks it.

Performance Scaling

Hello everyone, I recently got my computer running FME Form replaced and made some observations regarding performance that I wanted to lay out since I am not sure that everything runs as it should. I am testing with a big workspace with close to 1000 transformers. Coming from an aging Intel i5 6th Gen with 32 gigs of RAM and now sporting an Intel i7 14700-K with 128GB of RAM I was expecting some substantial performance uplifts. The observation I made is this: Yes, when I only read and write locally I am seeing a good boost in performance (a little over 2 times faster). However, in production this workspace is meant to write to a PostgreSQL database over the network. In this scenario my new computer is very close in performance to the old machine, even getting beaten by a few % in overall processing time (writing to the same database over the network). Here is the numbers. New Computer Old Computer Writing around 430.000 Features to database over network 1hr 39m 1hr 29m Writing around 4

Can't see Amazon Redshift (NonSpatial) Table list from DDL-enabled Schemas when using FME Reader (ArcGIS Data Interoperability)

To provide context, I’m trying to read tables from Amazon Redshift DBs, because our IT Dept does not allow direct connections to our Oracle Nonspatial DBs. We’re using Amazon Redshift as a “clone” of our Oracle data, refreshed daily. Problem is that when I access Amazon Redshift via FME Reader, tables in those schemas that are DDL-enabled are not visible to me (I can see the schemas just fine, but when trying to specify the specific tables, this below error appears). Fig. 01 - Tables not accessible in FME Amazon Redshift Reader The following image is when I click the “Show Log...” button. Fig. 02 - Logs from “Fetching Feature Types Error” But when using DBeaver (with the same connection details and credentials), i can view the tables and data just fine. Fig. 03 - Dbeaver Database Navigator I’ve shown this behavior to both the ArcGIS Pro vendor and our IT personnel, and they’re both stumped. What would be the probable problem here, and where should we start looking? See the following fo

FME Form freezes when adding a new database connection

I’m trying to add a new database connection (FME Form 2024.2). I haven’t had any problems with this in the past but today the Add Database Connection dialog just freezes when I click Save. I’m able to click the Test… button to test the connection and that works. I’ve tried various connections to various databases and get the same behaviour - I’m able to test the connection successfully but not able to save it, so it does not appear to be a DB connection issue. I suspect it’s a file lock / permission issue on the connections file/DB that is being used but I have rebooted the computer and that did not help. I’m trying to save the connection for my own user (not a shared connection). Has anyone else experienced this and know how to resolve it?

OGC WMS Reader gives a coarse resolution output

I was just trying to load a wms into my fme workbench using the OGC WMS reader and i get the image with a resolution of 22m yet the image has a resolution of 8cm. I then loaded the same wms as a background map and it comes with the desired resolution of 8cm. Did i miss something or the calls made to the wms server using the background option is different from those made using the OGC WMS reader? i also realised that without setting the map width and height the resolution is very coarse then on setting the width and height, the resolution gets better, but i cant go beyond the maxheight and maxheight specified in the wms xml file. Below is the wms url. https://service.pdok.nl/hwh/luchtfotorgb/wms/v1_0?request=GetCapabilities&service=wms Kind regards, Keller.

FME2023 fmeobjects folder installation missing python folders?

I’m trying to discover why my stand-alone python script cannot now ‘import fmeobjects’ after an upgrade of FME Desktop 2022.2 to FME Forms 2023.2.2. The sys.append path that worked previously had a python version subfolder inside the installation’s fmeobjects folder, like this: if os.path.isdir(rf"{FME_HOME}\fmeobjects\{python_subfolder}"): os.add_dll_directory(FME_HOME) sys.path.append(rf'{FME_HOME}\fmeobjects\{python_subfolder}") sys.path.append(FME_HOME) os.chdir(FME_HOME) import fmeobjects but those python subfolders are no longer there inside the fmeobjects folder in the Form current installation, but rather are outside in their own ‘python’ folder now. Is this correct? It seems that most of the searching I’ve done has the path to the python version as a subfolder of fmeobjects folder. No amount of appending sys.path versions of the python_subfolder will allow python to correctly ‘import fmeobjects’ and not stop producing: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing fmeobjects: T

Autodesk docs connector shows deleted and renamed folders with old names

I have a problem with the the autodesk docs connector. For example, if a folder is renamed or deleted in in ACC it will still show up with the old name in the connector. Is this a known issue? Anyone else having the same experience? Makes it impossible to control the file sync. Im using FME 2023.1 Win64 See the reply from Autodesk support If I understand correctly, you use FME app to sync the data from ACC to your system. Although FEM uses Autodesk cloud service to build the integration, we do not know how they implemented the logic and how they used the API. So the best would be you (as a customer of FME) contact their support team to more information. better FEM contacts us if they cannot resolve problem of specific point of Autodesk: API, cloud service, etc. With my experience, I guess FEM uses App context authentication (at our side, called 2-legged token workflow). By that, it will dump all folders, including deleted or even hidden folders. That might explain you could see those u

Scripted Parameters to read JSON file

Hi, Is there a way to read the JSON file. JSON file consists of user parameters. I created scripted parameters for the all the user parameters but the scripted parameters are not able to read the values of the user parameters in the JSON file. Scripted parameters contain python that reads up the json file and fetches the parameter for that specific parameter. Is there any solution to read the user parameters in the JSON file? User parameters in the JSON file are dynamic.

Autodesk Build connector

Is there a way to connect to Autodesk Build and retrieve photo's and Forms? Either through a connector or through the API. I can get acces to Autodesk Docs but I need acces to Build as I would like to add the photo's to a webmap. Because the API acces to ACC Build makes use of a three-legged authorization I see no possibility to do this. The process needs to allow for a pop-up and I don not know a way to avoid this. I hoped it was possible to use a webconnection in conjunction with an httpcaller but I do not know how. Does anybody have experience with this and perhaps an example?

Updating features through ArcGIS Portal Feature Service fails

Hi. I'm using the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer to do some inserts, updates and deletes on two feature services, one with line and one with points. The inserts and deletes works for both featureservices, but update on lines fails with the following error (operation rolled back for all of the features): ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '400' and the message was: 'Unable to complete operation.'. Details: 'Operation rolled back., Operation rolled back.... There are about 2000 features I need to update, so my best guess is that the jsonobject for update is too large. The update works fine with up to 200 features. What would be the best alternative for updating the line feature service? One way might be to create some kind of loop to update 200 lines at a time, but how?

What is the Roadmap to have the same file integrations for Mac Silicon as Mac Intel?

Unfortunately FME 2025 for Mac Silicon is still missing some file format integrations. What is the roadmap to get a complete collection of formats on the ARM plattform? I have had to resort to running an Intel version of FME on my Mac in order to be able to read File GDB and 2DPDF. (I don’t get to choose my source formats...). But it would be great to utilize the machines full potential, after all it was many years since Mac had an Intel in their line up.

python compatibility error with ESRI Python 3.7+

Hi, I have FME 2023.0.2.1 (64 bit) and ArcGIS Pro 3.1 with Python 3.9.16 installed on my machines. The FME workspaces I run uses Arcpy 3, so I specified the “python compatibility” parameter in the workspace (under scripting) as “Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+” and the “Preferred Python Interpreter” under FME options - Translation as “Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9”. This setting works for all other machines (incl. local and VM) except one machine. With one machine, I get this python compatibility error: ERROR : A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7+' The strange thing is, if I set the python compatibility parameter as Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9 with this machine, it works just fine. The only difference I can think of is maybe the normal python 3.11.4 which is also installed on this machine. Maybe this is somehow interrupting when FME is searching for python...? The problem is that I am calling many FME workspaces in one work

In earlier versions of FME desktop/form i was able to filter log messages from options → translation → log settings. I know i can disable them in traslation log but we used those settings to control if server/flow logged warning messages. We have process that creates massive amounts of unnecessary warning messages that generates gigabytes of logs. Log message filter option doesn’t seem to be available anymore? Is it moved some other place? FME 2024 FME 2022
