Integration

We are using a custom Token Based web connection to an external service. The service does not return an expiry time - it is always 180 minutes.  Is there a way to hard code an expiry duration on a token retrieved by the web connection? The UI for defining a Token Based web connection seems to only support an expiry time being returned by the token service.

I'm working with a client who has all their infrastructure based on IBM Cloud and they are looking at reading and writing files from IBM's version of S3. The docs say that they basically use a complete clone of S3 implementation (actually a copy of the boto3 library for access) so I'm wondering if FME has an OTB way to work with these kinds of buckets? Relevant docs here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage?topic=cloud-object-storage-getting-started-cloud-object-storage I've given it a shot trying the S3Connector but even when providing an alternate endpoint it still seems to fail to connect. I'm not sure if it's the way the transformer is implemented or if it is something I'm doing.

Hi, the API comes back with the number of totalPages (say 10 pages), how can I loop the API call through all these pages (1,2,3...10) to get all data? Is there a tutorial I can refer? thanks, Song

FME DesktopFME(R) 2019.1.3.1 (20191019 - Build 19643 - WIN32)Running on a server with Windows 2008 R2 service pack 1 I have a workspace that uses an HTTPCaller transformer to get a user token from ArcGIS Portal. I then take that token and use it to read features from an ArcGIS Server Feature Service. This works fine. Then, I use that same token to write to an ArcGIS Server Feature Service through the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer. I do this because there is no ArcGIS Server Feature Service writer. But I'm not able to get it to work. Is there a better way to do this (write to a Feature Service sitting on ArcGIS Server)? Below is a screen shot of the ArcGIS Portal writerAnd below is the error from the log. Note that the writer is appe

Im having trouble configuring a JSON Reader to pull data from a REST API (JSON formated). The problem is that in order to successfully call a query to the REST API (via a URI), there first needs to be sent an authorisation request as separate formatted URI sent ahead that contains a UserID code and a 'Secret' code (ie password) within the URI. The JSON reader has a single web address field (which works well for other applications). To solve this particular problem there would have to be two URIs sent - one to send the Authorisation request and generate a session ID (with the authorisation held in cookies or similar), followed another to submit the data query. I tried the 'Network authorisation' entering the userID and secret into the respective field without success. Have also tried the HTTPCaller and JSON transformers. I dont know enough about FME or API calls to configure this properly, so wondering if there is some advanced use o

Hi Everyone, I have succesfully managed to use a Custom Parameter to extract traits from an Ifc File with the GeometryPartExtractor. But when using the same said Custom Parameter as the Left Value in a Tester Transformer, no filtering takes place. Can one use CustomParameters instead of manually selecting the Attribute Values?  Test: After extracting the Trait, I can manually select the now Exposed Trait as an Input to use for my CustomParameter, but that defeats the point as the Custom Parameter is not really a parametric input.   Example File: I have shown three ways I attempted to use the custom parameter:Top Tester: Trying to use Custom Parameter for both exposing the Traits in the GeometryPropertyExtractor and in the first Tester: No success Mi

It would be nice to have an update on the FME AR app from Safers for Android as it has been lagging behind functionalities vis-a-vis iOS

I am struggling to replicate the results of running a workspace on FME Data Express and am wondering if I've discovered a bug. I have a workspace with 3 published parameters; A Geometry (point), a Choice (Multiple) and a Filename (Multiple). The idea of the workspace is to select a location(point), add an attribute(s) and upload(or capture) a JPG(s). I tested this workspace on desktop and it worked as expected. I published it to Server and ran it on the user interface and it worked as expected. But when I try to run it on the FME Data Express app, the job fails with an error on Server saying either "Parameter 'SourceDataset_JPEG' must be given a value." or a similar error about the Choice (Multiple) attribute. There is no log file. This is odd as I've even confirmed in the Resources folder on Server that the JPG file is getting uploaded to Server. However, when I change both of these parameter types to the non-Multiple versions (

I have several lines (streets) with a condition-value.In an (excel) table, I have many rows with condition-values and other attributes I would like to join. Now, coming from my streets I need to find the "nearest" value in the excel-table and join its attributes. What would be the simplest way to do that?I have seen an approach of calculating "distances" to each value and then sort by lowest distance... Any other convenient way? thx for your ideas, best regards from switzerland.

Does the FME AR app support animated 3D models?

Most of our pipelines use revit/dwg/dgn/csv files and for our ETL procedure we would like to store all these inputs using the same filetype in staging. Is there any type of data that would support this? other alternatives?

Hello, I am trying to make a REST API call to one of our servers from inside of a Workspace with an HttpCaller and I am not sure where would be ideal to store or pass credentials like username-password pairs/tokens that are required for this. I don't want to just leave it hardcoded in the Workspace, what I'm looking for is some kind of storing mechanism for sensitive data from where we can retrieve it later in a Workspace.(whether it's in the Cloud/Server does not matter, as long as it's via an FME feature) Any alternative/tipp would be greatly appreciated on the topic of credentials/security measures when working with the FME ecosystem. Thanks in advance!

Hi. I have a XSLX files with a column with path value ( value exemple: file:///\\\\common\\Environnement\\SIG - GIS\\Sondages\\Log_Sondage\\01-17_a_TR-20-17.pdf). It's possible to valide if the path adress is valid ? I have more 2500 path to validate. Thank you.

Hi all, I currently have drone imagery where i have 500 images but each image is 500mb in size. I have ArcGIS pro and FME desktop but need to combine the images then publish it to ArcGIS Enterprise. I also need to reduce the image size, then combine and also to set the coordinates to local area. Can anyone recommend what steps i can do this, would be really appreciated as i am struggling to understand where to get started and have many limitations due to the size of the file.

Hi there,Here's a conundrum for all you wonderful conundrumers...!Background: I have a BASE.FMW that reads a list of names and runs a Workspace Runner for each name. Before it does, it writes out a quick message using the MessageLogger and the 'WARN' flag to the logfile I have set up. Each call to the WSR takes some time to run. The log line in the translation line and the log file looks like this:2021-08-20 14:37:30|  4.3| 0.0|WARN |Processing 3 Named: Town of Comox... Back to the Present: I am building a PYTHON standalone script using fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner().runWithParameters(BASE.FMW, myparams) to run the BASE.FMW and it runs fine and produces the correct results, including the log file. My conundrum: the LIVE feedback in python from fmeobjects is non-existent. I would like to get those 'WARN' log lines from the logger AS IT IS WRITING THEM so I can give my python user some in

Hi,I would simply need to integrate rasterio's python function for raster sieving into FME Workbench's PythonCaller transformer. Indeed there is no native raster sieving function in FME.As I'm not familiar with Python I quickly read through this article but examples there do not apply to raster specifically. Due to my ignorance of Python scripting I am not sure from a syntax point of view how to make the reference to the raster and its bands (if required). Basically my purpose is to eliminate polygons which have a number of cells equal or less than 4.
