Integration

We have a large number of photos taken in many countries and contexts. They are from a range of people from professional photographers to amateurs, using everything from professional DSLRs to smartphones. Preparations are ongoing to load them into a new professional online media library. The online media library can read certain IPTC metadata fields. We are considering an interface where staff around the world can upload their photos and add the required metadata. To facilitate easier integration into the media library, being able to write the user input to IPTC metadata fields/tags with FME would cut out a significant manual step. All I found on the Safe site was this:https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D5

I am working on a integration Workbench between 2 softwares using their REST API. One of the REST API request JSON body as arguments to use some GET methods. HTTPCaller seams not to allow to use body with GET. Any idea ? Thank you. Mathieu.

I am attempting to use the arcpy.da in the python caller transformer in FME workbench 2021.1 build-21627 W 64 bit , ArcGISpro-2.9v installed. I am wondering if there are any suggestions to getting my workbench to successfully access the arcpy.da module. I have setup the preferred python interpreter in the FME options. If you provide any help /documentation related to the Arcpy in FME it would be highly appreciated. Also getting following error while running the FME Workbench? 

I am in the process of developing a custom transformer that can write a coded domain list to a new file geodatabase file, using this article as inspiration: https://community.safe.com/s/article/creating-and-associating-geodatabase-domains-dynam  The hope is to create these domain values either from the existing data or a look-up table within FME. Then upload the file geodatabase with these new domains to ArcGIS Online. I have followed the guidance in the article and believe it should work. The attached transformer edits the schema feature of the relevant attribute to something like this: "attribute{7}.native_data_type (string: UTF-8): coded_domain(FloorType:char(255):2:"2":1:"1":0:"0")".

Hi, Need to extract each page from a pdf file and to write them to another distinct pdf file. The issue I have is that the content doesn't follow to the new generated pdf file . Secondly, I want to bind some specific pdf pages to one PDF file.  Thanks

Hi.Our main production FME server only has two engines, and its primary function reserves one engine for its function. This leaves a single engine for all other jobs.But the primary function only runs from 06-18 (6AM-6PM), so it's basically idle for 12 hours, in the period where a lot of maintenance jobs are run.Is it possible to set time limitations on queues, so some jobs may be run on the reserved engine from 18-06, i.e. during the night ?I'm running 2020.2.5, and here it's not an apparent option.Cheers

Can ProjectWiseWSGConnector connect to a local server, and if how ? What should I put into the Bentley ProjectWise Connection Parameters ? It seems like the URL i use in ProjectWise doesn't function in FME.

Hello everyone,  I am in the midst of converting a IFC building model to CityGML format with a modified version of the workbench from: https://community.safe.com/s/article/bim-to-gis-intermediate-ifc-lod-300-to-lod-4-cityg At present, I am unable to create an opening for the doors in the interior wall surface in FME. Both are aggregate multi-surfaces but the interior walls are simpler with only 1 surface. I have tried various transformers and they do not work, partially due to how complicated the door's geometries are and the number of coplanar doors and walls.  Let me know if there are any more information you may need. Thank you for the help in advance!

One of our technical directors wants to know more about FME, what it is / isn't, and what it does / doesn't, etc. Basically a quick overview of FME that shows off its capabilities. He's signed up for Introductory training, but I feel that that's too detailed and too technical for his position.I read about FME Accelerator. What exactly is that, and who is it for? Would that be suitable for senior management, or is it still pretty technical?I find the Accelerator web page a bit too vague (https://www.safe.com/accelerator/)

I am using a change detector before uploading anything to portal. I am able to use Inserted and Deleted without any errors. However, when I try to run anything from the Updated side it sends back the Error Code: "Operation rolled back." Any ideas as to why this might be happening

I dug around the Google Maps API documentation but I can't seem to figure it out on my own.

We just upgraded from 2018 to 2021 and like the new option of "Streams". Using this for a RabbitMQ job and working great! But my question is around creating a stream for a job without a stream mode transformer.  The documentation says the following: "The workspace must contain a transformer that can run in Mode: Stream" This made me think it would not work, but tried it in place of a job we currently use the "Run Until Cancelled" option with and it seems to be working fine. The job is just constantly polling a REST API with an HTTPCaller for updates to real-time data (wish the vendor had an event based option but do not).  I like the idea of having all our near real-time integrations running in this separate grouping of streams. And that you can dedicate an engine to it vs. Run Until Cancelled just grabbing any which one and holding on to it. Any concerns with using streams lik

Created a user to use with FME desktop for our local ArcGIS Enterprise Portal. When connecting in FME Desktop using the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader it gives an error saying bad password. Figured out that the generated password for this user must have had some characters that were not supported in FME. What Characters are not supported for passwords in this reader?

I added a dropbox web connection with my concern user, everything worked out. After that, I wanted to add another dropbox web connection, but this time with another user. Unfortunately the login did not work out (see screenshot). I tried to clear cache and cookies from my standard browser, change standard browser to be sure that nothing is cached in the background, but still the same message appeared. I also tried to delete the other web connection, but still same issue occured.Does anyone have ideas how to solve this?

Hi FME communityI have successfully added a web connection to my Sharepoint site following this tutorial https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-create-a-Sharepoint-Web-Connection using the Client ID multitenant method.Then when I browse the Site: parameter (image below) only a subset of all sites in my organisation are showing. My goal is to read files hosted in Sharepoint just as if they are sitting on my hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions on my issue above or know of an alternative way to connect to Sharepoint?Thanks

Why am I getting the above error on my system?

Hello, I have a large workspace and there will be more developers that will develop it.I was wondering if we can use Git from inside the workbench. A visual diff that would identify changes in nodes and their properties, like e.g. Node-RED does, would be extremely useful.We already have the project in Git and treat it like a binary file.

I was able to implement this in the python caller which produces the result but when I substitute the hard coded data for "myList" it does not work for me.import itertools myList = [  ['a1', 'b1', 'c1'],  ['a1', 'b1', 'c1']]for x in itertools.product(*myList):  results = list(itertools.product(myList))  print (x) How do I pass the output in my list out? How do I substitute myList with the data from my DB. CODE in Python Caller which lists results in the translation logimport fmeimport fmeobjectsimport itertools# Template Function interface:# When using this function, make sure its name is set as the value of# the 'Class or Function to Process Features' transformer parameterdef processFeature(feature):  pass # Template Class Interface:# When using

Hi Folks,we are trying to monitor sftp folders and kick of workspace when there is any new file or existing file is modified. something similar to DirectoryWatcher. any idea how to accomplish ?

AttributePivoter has started failing with a "WARN |Python Exception <TypeError>: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'float'".Prior to sending features into AttributePivoter I validate the features and they all pass as numeric .I am aware of numerous workarounds and custom transformers - I am just curious about this error.I hope the image is sufficient information - the Transformer Parameters are on the left hand side. PS: I tried numerous python installations - including my OSGEO4W 3.7 - and both FME 2020 and FME 2021.

I tried to configure a http web-connector but without success. Does somebody know how to solve this?

Has anyone had any experience in the telco space with developing cellular / mobile phone coverage maps using FME? We want to be able to do near real time recalculations when towers are not operational to figure out any gaps in coverage areas.  

For others to know: FME 2021.1When the default interpreter is set to the Python in the Arcgis Pro folder adding the BIM360 Transformer results in a failing BIM360 Transformer. We can solve this by removing the Autodesk BIM360 Docs Package, selecting the FME Python 3.7+ Interpreter and re-installing the BIM360 Transformer.
