Integration

Does anyone have an example of setting the twist angle (rotation) of a CAD viewport ? I have succesfully created the viewports, set the extent, and scale. Now I want to rotate them. When I try settting the twist angle it messes up the extent .

I'm attempting to use the Trimble Connect web connection, but I am receiving an authentication error. I have a Trimble Connect account and have received my consumer key and consumer secret for authentication, but I'm not able to get it to work. I've reviewed the Trimble Connect API documentation, but I am still relatively new to working with API's, and this API requires multiple steps, so I'm having trouble. Does anybody have examples of authenticating with Trimble Connect with FME? I could sure use some assistance. I downloaded the provided collection and environment in PostMan and was able to connect, but no luck getting this to work in FME. Trimble Connect API Documentation

Hi there! I am a testing the capacities of setting up a REST API to interact with FME Server, and I am now stuck trying to get access from an external network. I am using http://<yourServerHost>/fmerest/, pasting my hostname:80, but browser always reply with the “This site can’t be reached” So, I can neither access Web User Interface from an external network Was looking for an answer on the Forum, but couldn’t find any. Some post are around allowing firewall to get the port 80. Already did that, and nothing happens. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much, J.

I have built an app with a geometry published parameter as input for the user. In my workspace I have the 'Optional' box unchecked, meaning it is a mandatory (not optional) parameter. However, when it is left blank and the app is submitted, I don't get a prompt telling me that it is needed. The job is submitted to server but fails right away, because it doesn't have a location. Other mandatory published parameters give a prompt to the user if they are left blank when the user tries to submit them. Is this a bug that the job is allowed to be submitted when a mandatory geometry parameter is left blank?

I have the task of detecting objects that exceed a certain height above the ground. These objects can be points, lines, polygons and also multipatches. All objects have 3D coordinates. Furthermore, there is of course a DEM which represents the ground = reference surface. Since the number of objects is several million, I am looking for an efficient solution. My current approach is proving to be too time-consuming and therefore impractical. Currently, I have a (small object-) DEM from each of the multipatches features and subtract this from the large DEM. If the difference is greater than the maximum limit, the object is played into a separate database. This method is still acceptable. For the point objects I add the height as an attribute and finally take the height from the height model. Finally, I calculate the difference and divide the objects according to the threshold value. I proceed similarly with the line and surface objects, except that I first increase the point density along

Hi everyone, I developed a simple workspace to read a list of filenames from a Google Drive folder. It works fine when it's run with FME Desktop. When it's run with FME Server it works fine as long as the OAuth2 token is valid, but when the token expires the Google Drive connector seems not to be able to refresh the token. I point out that FME Server is configured to use a proxy server. I suppose this issue could be related to the proxy, but I don't know how to debug it further. I'm using FME Server 2020.2.1 build 20806 - linux-x64. Any suggestion? Has anyone encountered anything similar? See the attached excerpt of the logfile. Thanks!

Hello, we're planning an installation of FME Server and looking to better take advantage of 64-bit capabilities, where readers and writers are not dependent on 32-bit clients. We are also planning for higher capacity by leveraging distributed engine environment. Although the admin guide does say that it is possible to place 32/64 bit clients on a single machine, it quite clearly does not recommend this. The admin guide further details installing engines on a separate machine for a distributed engine environment, but there is no indication whether the separate machine has to have the same engine bit version as FME Server Core or what the impact would be if the bit version does not match. If it is possible to have 32 bit engines on one machine and 64 bit engines on another, is it better to match one with FME Server Core?

I have a DWG file which is in an unknown coordinate system. I believe the data was inserted through a local coordinate system, but I'm not sure. This DWG consists of multiple layers. One of these layers is also available through another channel, where the coordinate system is known. Is it possible to georeference the DWG file to this 2nd dataset? I tried reprojectingthe DWG file, but it didn't work.

Hey Community, i am new to FME and would like to know how to create a new REST API End point using FME. The task is simple i would like other organizations to query a DB within our infrastructure to get the details of an Asset. So i want to expose an API to the public which they can call and do either a POST,GET or PUT operations. Can you share with me steps of how i can go about this using FME.

Why does Google Heart only accept KML lines if they are at least 50cm long? Could anyone give me a technically valid answer?

Hello, I try to create a Python Caller transformer. I set my Python interpreter in Tools>FME Options but when I try to run the transformer, I have the following error message : The workspace expects Python version 3.7, but the user-specified Python library `C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\envs\\arcgispro-py3\\python36.dll' is version 3.6 with PYTHONHOME `C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python' Python version 3.6 loaded successfully Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings' Current thread 0x0000283c (most recent call first): Any idea ?

Hi all, I am studying convert shapefile to .Mbtiles. But the output name I can't set as input file name. I attacted my workspace in the below. Could you tell me how to make output file the same input file? Thank you

Good Day We have a few applications that expose prometheus metrics through an API, but there there no reader and or transformer to convert it to SQLServer. Has anyone worked with prometheus metrics, and what is the best way to read prometheus metrics format in FME or is just the best to use Prometheus and Grafana? Rudy

I may be missing it, but I do not see a way to assign a job queue to a FME Server workspace app, is this supported ?

A couple of weeks ago, Fredrik Johnsson from Varberg Municipality in Sweden, asked me a question: "Why does my model follow me like a dog?". After we fixed stability problem in the latest version of FME AR app, models usually sit on their location quite well, but his model followed him wherever he walked. You may encounter this behavior, too. So, what is really going on?

I am working on using a webhook from our accounting system (Xero) to trigger an FME job. I've worked with triggering FME tasks (FME Cloud) many times before, successfully. One of Xero's requirements is that the webhook endpoint return an empty body when using the webhook - is there any way to configure fme to just return the standard 200 status code, but have no body in the response? Current url being used for the post request from Xero: https://[acct].fmecloud.com/fmejobsubmitter/[repository]/[workspace].fmw? token=[token]&opt_servicemode=async&opt_showresult=false&opt_responseformat=json Body being received from that POST request: { "serviceResponse": { "jobID": 2999, "statusInfo": { "mode": "async", "status": "success" } }} Webhook requirements (here): It uses HTTPS on the standard 443 portIt responds within 5 seconds with a 200 O.K status codeThere is no body in the responseThere are no cookies in the response headersIf the signature is invalid a 401 Unauthorised status code is ret

Hi there. Iam trying to do a workspace to combine values/attributes from two different lists/objects. Idea is that there is always 1 parent ”object” and 1-x child ”object(s)” under the parent ”object”. The software that i am using to make these objects gives a unique identifier number for the parent object, for example ABC1. Software also gives a unique identifier number for child object by using the parent identifier + adding a letter after that, for example ABC1_A, ABC1_B and so on. The problem that i havent solved is how to combine and make new attributes by comparing parent and child object indentifiers. If the child object shares the main part (ABC1) of the identifier number it should have get the values from the parent and merge them with the child attributes/values. So, for example child objects ABC1_A, ABC1_B, ABC1_C, ABC1_D all gets attributes/values from parent object by shared parent id ABC1. New, combined attributes has values from parent objects and child objects. I hope t

Hello, We are evaluating FME Desktop for a client. We are not clear on mechanism by which FME desktop will integrate with client's active directory. Please note that client uses trustbuilder as identity provider. Questions: 1) What mechanism does FME Desktop provide for integrating with trustbuilder? 2) What mechanisms does FME Desktop provide for integrating with active directory (if it does not provide integration with trustbuilder). Thanks for your time in reading this question and replying to it. Best, Amit

Hi everyone, I'm using FME Desktop 2020.2 and I'm trying to create new web services, in the "manage web services" window, from Google Gmail (safe.xxx) and Google Sheets (safe.xxx), because Emailer transformer and Google Sheets Reader v4 want connections from these web services. I realized that these type of services are not shown in the choice list. I need to create new services because I want to use my own Google App (with related ID and Secret) and I don't want to modify the default web services provided by Safe Software. Any suggestions? Thanks

Spend a couple of hours investigating why a single Polyline Feature won't append to an existing FGDB feature class. It turns out because it was very long, the initial spatial index created is too small to manage the number of grids that this long polyline traverses. Never seen this before in a GDB! An error occurred while flushing the cursor for the table/feature class 'LateralsGeometry'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216894'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The spatial index grid size is invalid.}Some error has occurred during shutdown of the writer, see previous errorSome error has occurred during shutdown of the writer, see previous errorSome error has occurred during shutdown of the writer, see previous errorFeatureWriter_4 (WriterFactory): Some error has occurred during shutdown of the writer, see previous errorSome error has occurred during shutdown of the writer, see previous errorTranslation FAILED with 6 error(s) and 0 warning(s) (0 feature(s) output) ESRI

I have citygml Lod2 data and 2D shapefile of buildings of same area. How best can I store these two data and integrate so I can query to get info from both the 3d and the 2d data when I visualize in a web application like cesiumjs?

I would like to see if anyone can help me figure out a way to export data from https://fortress.wa.gov/wsp/collisionanalysistool/Query/SearchCriteria site using either HTTPCaller with JSON... or another series of transformers. This site allows us to select collision data based on some criteria and then export that data out to excel/csv. I have requested the API reference to this, but have not yet received it, and am not sure if I will. Ultimately I would like to automate a process that downloads most current data on a monthly basis then adds that data to a GIS layer. It seems very doable; but not being a web developer, I can only get so far trying to understand what's going on using developer tools in Chrome/Edge. When using HTTPCaller, the response body looks promising, but I can't seem to get past that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the following table in SQL Server 2016 CREATE TABLE [dbo].[new_tasks]( [id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [reportedDate] [datetimeoffset](7) NOT NULL ) When I run the following SQL in MS SQL Server Management Studio or via an SQLExecutor it correctly inserts the time value into the database. INSERT INTO new_tasks([id],[reportedDate]) VALUES ('F59DA401-DE8F-4F3C-A60C-018008D81527','2019-10-24T13:57:48.076178+11:00') I.E When querying the record the reportedDate will be returned as '2019-10-24 13:57:48.076178+11:00' But if I try and insert the values using the FeatureWriter it will zero out the offset, I.E. reportedDate will be returned as '2019-10-24 13:57:48.076178+00:00' Converting the datetime string in a workbench to FME datetime or FME datetime with offset, correctly transforms it inside the workbench, but it will still zero out the offset value when I use the FeatureWriter to insert it into the database table. Does anyone know how to fix this? (The reason I want to use the F

Is FME server is flexible enough to be integrated with the monitoring tools such as Splunk ,. Dynatrace , kibana .. etc. Can the monitoring and manipulation of the batch jobs integrate with tools such as CA7?
