Integration

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

Can I use FME AR offline?

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

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 `'

Hi, is FME Server version 2022.1.2 compatible with City Works version 15.5.3? Thanks

How can I connect MapInfo Pro 2021.1 with ArcSDE 10.8.2? It's the Universal Translator that isn't working.

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

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.

i would like to access for some data in Microsoft azure storage explorer .could i read the data directly from azure storage explorer by FME Desktop? Thanks in advance .FME Desktop 2021

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.  

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.

Can we use FME Desktop for data migration from ArcFM Fiber to ArcFM enabled UNM?  Are there any workbenches similar to Electric/GAS/WATER available for Fiber Telecom ?

When I select NTLM the workspace successfully runs on FME Desktop and FME Server with all features read as expected. When I select Kerberos, the workspace successfully runs on FME Desktop but not FME Server.  The following error is observed in FME Server: “ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Using authentication ‘Kerberos’ ”“ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Logging into ‘https://<my ArcGIS Portal host>/portal/’ as user ' ' ”"ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Could not log into https://<my ArcGIS Portal host>/portal/sharing/rest/generateToken as user ' '. Check your credentials and try again. The error code from the server was '400' and the message was: 'Unable to generate token. 'username' must be specified, 'password' must be specified." Ideally we would like to use a more secure authentication method than NTLM. ArcGIS Portal is not currently setup to use OAuth and I’ve attempted to use the other authenticati

Hello class!In the attached PDF (in Dutch) I have an example of what I want to do exactly but the example was made with the PostMan program (but I can't follow the same steps in FME). Mainly the part of obtaining the Token (access authorization to the Melvin database). I would like to know how to authenticate Melvin API via FME? In this case with HTTPCaller transformer. I already have the Melvin account (username and password), but I don't know how to use this information in HTTPCaller. I have 3 requests, 2 Post and a Get: https://keycloak.ndwcloud.nu/auth/realms/ndw/protocol/openid-connect/token (POST) https://melvin.ndw.nu/melvinservice/rest/area/all (GET) https://melvin.ndw.nu/melvinservice/rest/export (POST) My WS follows along. Does anyone have a model to share? Thanks in advance. Regards, Everton

Using a RabbitMQConnector in Stream mode to continuously listen for change events. It is set to not Auto Acknowledge messages as we do not want that to happen until confirmation it is written to the database. Was thinking to use a FeatureWriter as it chains outputs after writing. Doing this with Transaction Type of None and it inserts/updates the features in real-time fine. But the output from the FeatureWriter seems to always be blocking. We ideally want to use that output to acknowledge the message in RabbitMQ. Would try a SQLExecutor but also need to write the shape to an ESRI geodatabase. Worst case can probably use a PythonCaller using arcpy. But would be nice to have a persistent connection with an actual writer. Any thoughts on how to do something like this while keeping a data steam going?

Hi.I'm exploring the possibility of making request to a secure server using FME.The webservices to be called require that the requests are accompanied by a company or function certificate. It will typically be stored in a certificate repository on the machine.I can make it work manually using HttpCaller with authentication = "Single Sign-On", but this prompts me for a certificate password every time, and the final script needs to run fully autonomously (on an FME Server).Any help is appreciated.Cheers.

Hello all, We are in the process of upgrading our software to 2021 from 2019 and I'm in the middle of UAT. I'm encountering an issue with the scripts that grab data from a Google Cloud Storage bucket using the GoogleCloudStorageConnector transformer. In 2021, when I try to reauthenticate my web connection to GCS I get this popup: I wasn't involved with the script design for the 2019 version (and my colleague who was is on vacation for another week). I did some research and found out that the stock settings for the GSC webservice need to be configured to match credentials in GSC. I created a OAuth 2.0 Client ID/Secret in the Credentials page in the GSC settings, and insert that information into the Client Information section in the GSC web service dialogue (my understanding based on documentation is that default redirect Uri here should be left untouched). After adding these credentials and applying my changes, I am still getting the same Authorization Error when I try to te
