ArcGIS Pro Data Interop Extension Intermittent Connection to Writer Database

Using ArcGIS Data Interop extension to build workbenches. We are connecting to an external database to write to and we are experiencing intermittent connection. When testing connection, when it fails we get a timeout error. Same when when we run the workbench. But then sometimes it will connect fine and run the workbench as expected. Anyone else experience this?

We have a custom application that calls and polls telephone numbers using an analog modem on COM1 port. I would like to port this application to FME and I have been unable to find any native transfomers/readers/writer that can communicate with COM Port1. Question:Can FME natively communicate with COM Ports ?If so, how is this done.If not, any suggestions on how to make with work

Can no longer read or browse in HUB in AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector

This week my AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector stopped working and I am no longer able to read data or browse through the hub. It still works fine to authenticate in the web connection. Is there a way to troubleshoot the connection in the transformer? Seems like nothing is logging in the log window cheers

How to change FME Server postgres database password without reinstalling?

I installed FME Server 2022.2.2 on Windows Server using Express. I told setup to use the wrong* password for Postgres `fmeserver` database user. How do I change the password after the fact, without going through the whole install process again? I know the password is stored in fmeDatabaseConfig.txt in the FME Server installation directory and how to encrypt the password. But that's how to change what FME passes to the db, not what is stored in the db. I need to change both. There is more than one Postgres service and database on this server. * wrong means "differs from our internal standards and documentation".

However, I am unsure how to physically upload the file through the POST method. Here is the link to the API document: Enquiries API (1100.com.au)My HTTPCaller parameters:I keep getting: "HTTPCaller_4 (HTTPFactory): [1]: HTTP transfer error: Stream error in the HTTP/2 framing layer" error code.

Problem with connecting to Esri ArcGIS Portal

Hello!I connect our Esri Enterprise to my fme workbench and server with the help of the guide here. But a very strange thing happens: after I close the file, for example at the end of a working day, the connection to the enterprise resets, and the same connection that worked yesterday, no longer works today.So the first time I did the whole process again, and the second time, it doesn't connect at all anymore.Anyone familiar with this problem?

OnedriveConnector works in Workbench, but not as a Batch

Recently I had to move FME to a new Computer where I cannot use the same Windows-User for FME Authoring and Batchs.This way, I had to change my Database-Connections to Public, so that the Batch-user can successfully execute my FME-Batchs.I did the same for my Onedrive Web-Connection (change to Public).Now the Onedrive-Connection works in Workbench directly, but not as a Batch (with my Batch-User "fmebatch") Log:2022-12-13 10:13:29| 0.4| 0.2|ERROR |OneDriveConnector: Invalid connection, make sure your install path for FME is in your system environment variables2022-12-13 10:13:29| 0.4| 0.0|ERROR |Error encountered while calling method `input'2022-12-13 10:13:29| 0.4| 0.0|FATAL |OneDriveConnector_CALLER (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature2022-12-13 10:13:29| 0.4| 0.0|WARN |An error has occurred.

HTTPCaller Slow when POSTing

I've just created a workspace that connects to a REST API. When GETing data, the HTTPCaller calls work immediately, but when POSTing it looks like FME Server waits for 2 minutes before checking what the API responded with? The initial timeout for the call was only 90 seconds so it timed out when I first ran it, so I had to bump up the timeout to see that it was actually getting a response. Is there anything obvious I'm missing in FME Server that would cause HTTPCaller POST calls to run really slowly? Relevant logs:2022-12-1 16:29:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: Starting HTTP upload to 'xxxxx'. Expected transfer size: 2084 bytes2022-12-1 16:29:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: HTTP Upload: sent 2084 bytes2022-12-1 16:31:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: Starting HTTP download from 'xxxxx'2022-12-1 16:31:21 | HTTPCaller_-_Create_Request (HTTPFactory): [974]: HTTP transfer summary (xxxxx): status code

BinaryDecoder and TextDecoder Limitation?

I am able to upload PDFs to SharePoint using FME, but the content I get from another system's API is coming in as a BLOB, then I have to convert this binary to Base64 then convert again to Unicode or Binary (System Default) like this:The output of the BinaryEncoder transformer is testably correct:BUTT the TextDecoder is producing a trimmed output:When I upload this file to SharePoint it is incomplete and lacks the actual PDF content, but is openable and not corrupt. Is there a known limitation here, a setting that can be changed, or alternative workflows that would work here? Thank you

Issues with AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector and files larger than 500 MB

Hi, I've automated daily uploads of certain files to the Autodesks BIM360 platform - through the use of AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector. Everything went fine the first 6 months, but as the files grew larger in size I've had issues with files bordering 500+ MB. Around 500-600 MB FME starts delivering an UPLOAD_ERROR. Is this a known issue, and does anyone have any insight regarding potential solutions or work-arounds? Attribute(string: UTF-8): `fme_rejection_code' has value `UPLOAD_ERROR'Attribute(string: UTF-8): `fme_rejection_message' has value `'

Error when trying to write data into ArcOnline

Hi there I have ran into this error on a script that i usually wasnt encountering this error on. and I cant quite figure out what it means. Just as some extra context I am writing data which is stored on my local device, projecting it correctly before clipping it and uploading to an already exisiting data set by using the "Insert" and "truncate" function. I am not sure what is causing is the issue, whether it is on the FME side or AGOL side but I am not encountering this issue for other data sets. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated -Ed

Error loading data back into ARCGIS Portal Service

I run a process that reads out of ESRI modifies some data and writes it back into the layer. This worked in AGOL but now that we moved to OnPremise version of ArcGIS I can't get it to work. The only difference I can see after replacing the read and write nodes is that the Type field in the user attributes tab doesn't maintain its esriField Types and defaults to string.When writing back I get an error saying ObjectId is missing but this field is in the data set.

Has anyone seen a python caller become progressively slower when being used per feature?

I am creating a process that is going to move 3.5 million records from a SQL server db to a destination. The target can only be interacted with over SOAP. I am using a python caller to make the SOAP call because the HTTPCaller could not handle the challenge authentication method the target enforces. I am batching the rows into groups of 20,000, creating the XML and passing that to the python caller as a single feature per batch. The calls become progressively slower throughout the run of the job. They start out around 4 seconds between batches and after 130 calls the time to process is around 130 seconds.

How to have someone else review 3 attributes?

I have a large FME desktop workspace that works great. It reads an ArcGIS Online feature service (2 tables), joins the 2 tables, makes many, many changes (new attributes, etc.), then writes to a different ArcGIS Online feature service (1 table). I plan to run this daily with a batch file using the Task Scheduler. The destination table is published to a group of people. My issue/question is that I need 1 to 3 attributes to be reviewed. Usually a few records (out of several hundred) need to be modified. I'm sorry my question is vague. I'm thinking that there may be way to write (publish) a few attributes to a software solution to facilitate approval records after reviewing a few attributes. The few records that aren't approved would be flagged then I would manually make the change in the ArcGIS source. An example would be removing PII such as a person's name.
