Hi,  I’m working on automating our FME workspace deployment on Azure Devops using the functionality in pipelines. One thing I would like to automate is to extract metadata about every workspace pushed to the repository and write it to a README.md file. With such a file placed next to every workspace it would be easier to navigate our repo. I would like to see basic information like workspace name, description, number of transformers etc.What’s the best way to extract this data? I have tried using python to read the .fmw text directly and using the FME workspace reader with partial success.  Has anyone else done something similar or have ideas? 

Hello,Could you please help with ideas how to implement the following: I run SQL query by SQL Executor that checks something in PostgreSQL DB and as a result provides set of SQL queries that should be executed in the database afterward. How to execute those newly generated queries? How can I run all those resulted queries after SQL Executor?

A month ago, I generated an fmw (Build 24202) that read from Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service, (url, user, pwd) correctly.today when opening the fmw gives error and is not able to read, I do not know why it can be, if everything is the same as a month ago.Thank you so much!  

Hi all.Today I needed to build a custom Python based transformer from scratch, after a two year hiatus, and needed to explore some new things in the FMX file part.So as always I opened https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/p/documentationBut apart from the Format GUI Type documentation, I can only find a new “.fmxj” documentation, but not the proper FMX file ditto. And fmxj looks nothing like FMX, it seems.Why has this crucial piece of documentation been removed ?Can I find it somewhere else ?Cheers

I am currently starting a project requiring me to pull images and videos from a Twitter page. Originally, I was using the TwitterStatusFetcher transformer to pull the individual JSON object of every tweet, and extract the corresponding image and/or video. While this was working to an extent, I noticed that the JSON extracted from the TwitterStatusFetcher at times did not contain an image and/or video when there should've been one. I believe this is due to a recent change in Twitter's API requiring an extra parameter (tweet_mode=extended) to retrieve a full tweet. As such, I've been trying to access the Twitter API directly with this extra parameter, using the HTTPCaller transformer. However, Twitter requires the use of Oauth 1.0 for me to pull tweets. I'm unsure of how to set up the web connection for Twitter to use Oauth 1.0, as FME 2016.1 uses Oauth 2.0 to establish a web service. I have all the required consumer and access tokens already, I'm just unsure of how t

Hi, I am in need to convert an attribute with “188-195” as value (Wich means 188up to and including195) in “188;189;190;191;192;193;194;195”.How can this be done in FME workbench 2024.1.0.0.With a  combination of transformers AttributeCreator, AtributeSplitter, ListElementCounter, ListExploder and AttributeManager I am be able to produce the 8 new features. THNX.

Hi FME Enthusiasts,I am trying to run a fmw file by running a batch file. I tried to read smallworld data then convert into some other format. I create a batch file to execute but reader does not read the data. So I passed single record as input and ran the bat file it could able to read and converted into my destination format. but if i passed 100 records it was taking long time and waiting at “Getting feature using command number: (0)” it not moving further. If I manually run the same data with same fme workbench straight , which is working fine without any struggle. if anyone faced this kind of scenario early?.   

When i try to “inspect feature caches” or “view sources data” it does not work and i get this error message :  I am not able to use any defaut background map. When I click on “OK” then the software crash.  Any suggestions ? 

Hello,as it says in the title: FeatureReader crashes on reading ArcGIS Pro filegeodatabase. For my work I built a workbench were previously data got written to an Arcmap *.gdb which worked flawless. But now since my company is switching to ArcGIS Pro, I'm had to update the *.gdb to the ArcGIS Pro standards to be able to work with annotations. After running it with that updated *.gdb I received errors. After some fiddling it seemed that the issue was resolved. But a few runs later I found out that there were some attributes that I had to alter to the *.gdb to streamline it for later production steps. No probs so far. After doing that, the FeatureReader i use came up with the old attributes, and not the newly inserted. So I thought, I'll repoint it to the *.gdb, after doing so, the workbench crashed…I've tried different things to find out where the problem lies: Maybe a feature had bad geometry? Maybe to many features? Maybe the *.gdb was corrupted? But nothing I did helped. As a last st

Whats is the best way to connect to an IBM MQ 9.3 message broker from a workspace running as a stream on Fme Flow 2023? We need to be able to process several hundreds of messages/sec. I’ve done quite a lot of testing with the MQTT connector transformer and Mosquitto MQTT broker. Very fast and reliable. IMB MQ only supports AMQP 1.0 protocol and the question is if there is a connector transformer I can use for that? Fme Rabbit connector supports AMQP 0-9./Stefan Ljungstedt   

While attempting to set up a web connection to cityworks via FME/ESRI’s data interoperability externsion, the connection continues to result in “Unable to authenticate using the specified connection information”.  We are on CityWorks Server 15.4.2 so the authorization token is set to be passed by query string.  Any other changes or tips that we should try?

Hey all, I'm trying to do some webservice calls with the httpcaller. Unfortunately i'm getting the famous SSL connect error. I've tried setting the 'verify ssl certificate' to no but i'm still getting the error. I'm using FME 2020.1 and as an example i'm trying to do a get on the next endpoint/url:https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/latest/issue/JRA-9 My http caller settingsThe endpoint in the browser gets a nice Json back as response. The httpcaller however doesn't. The certificate is a wildcard certificate (could the be an issue?).Can anyone check it out if it works for them or if they get the same result? Just wondering cheers

I have had success in connecting to my corporate Sharepoint with the SharePointOnlineConnector using the web connection as set up in this HowTo: How to create a Sharepoint Web Connection (safe.com). Now I want to connect to another Tenant for which I have been granted access, but the connector only presents me with the Safe Template version for my web connection - even though I have set up and succesfully tested a new connection with a new name. I tried testing on a new machine, with no previous connections, and imported the new connection via xml then tried to add the web connection from within the transformer - same issue - the dropdown list doesn't show me the newly created connection (no matter what I call it):Can anyone advise on what needs to be done to connect from a selection of web connections for sharepoint?

Is it possible to upload a file as Multipart Upload without first writing it to the filesystem?I have this working:But this requires to first write the attribute to a file and then using the filepath to upload.I tried base64 encoding the binary attribute and uploading.

Hi, Just was hoping for tips on Converting DWG to GeoJSON - is there any one who can lend an explanation I’m attempting the below and it’d be great if someone could offer a high level understanding / approach.  

Hi,I am trying to configure a web service to use the Salesforce Connector.  When trying to test the connection, I keep getting error:error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration I believe this relates to the callback URI syntax, but I don’t know what it should be.. any ideas?

Dear all,I have multiple IFC files in my folder and have to publish them as Scene Layers in ArcGIS using FME.Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed, and which is the best way to proceed? Many thanks. 

Hi Team, Can we integrate FME flow and FME server with Azure Devops using pipelines?

Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to embed a website in ArcGis Online popups but could not get it to work.I have tried the method to have an attribute with the Iframe code as some suggested in earlier version it was interpreted correctly but it seems this is not the case anymore.I have found that there’s a way to embed video for example but nothing for integrating a website. So if you have any suggestion that would be great. Thanks.Thomas 

Hi,I would like to create a workbench that will allow the user to make unique slecection from Excel document by entering not only value but also the operator. Is that functionality available?Example  

Hi everyone,I have an SHP file related to some parcels. For each parcel, there is a corresponding folder and contract (with the same name). My goal is to create a workspace based on the ready SHP files (using a simple tester transformation). The SharePointOnlineConnector should then download the corresponding contract from SharePoint and place it in a local directory.My main challenge lies in how to locate each contract. Currently, I’ve set up the SharePointOnlineConnector to create a list from the directory. Then, I use another SharePointOnlineConnector to download the contracts. However, during the second SharePoint transformation, I encounter an error:SharepointOnlineConnector: Error making request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0//sites/[my_share_point_name].sharepoint.com,3a2333c0-9794-425a-9978-a2eb613fc15b,c38a05da-86b2-48bd-a5b5-e80371d96e57/drives/b!nqLU0gc2Y0OJ_TIlc0aqVX_zKy7OiIFPltGPSW8STP_RoqJOec4jSbMoWXb1-7Y7/items/01MI2PLMPJAT7XK24RXZGJDFNW2D7PE4KR: The resource could

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project where I need to process multiple IFC files and write the data to a PostgreSQL database using an FME workbench. I've written a Python script to automate this process, which includes getting IFC input from the user and executing the FME workbench. However, I'm encountering problems when passing multiple IFC files to the FME command line.Any ideas? Main Idea:Getting IFC Input from User: The script prompts the user to enter the path to a directory or a single IFC file. Running the FME Workbench: The script constructs and executes the FME command with the provided IFC file paths and other necessary parameters.I am using a PythonCreator at the start of my FME script to catch these arguments and read with FeatureReader. Currently, when I look at the FME log after I run the external Python script, I see that the paths are not parsed as parameters. Main error I see in the log files is the following:2024-06-21 21:52:52|   0.4|  0.0|ERROR |ISO10303-21: Unable
