Integration

Hallo there, I have a big collection of 3D-lines and a big collection of 3D-Triangles/Surfaces that I need to intersect with each other (I only need to know whether there is an intersection not length, position or number of intersections). Performance is somewhat important due to the size of the dataset. I tried extruding the triangles to a short height to get a solid and this works but is super slow. Surely there must be a better/more efficient way to calculate the intersection between a 3D-line and a 3D-triangle? Many thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well, I am new to FME, I have a .dae file (Collada) that refers to a 3D model of a tree. I also have a layer of points with coordinates in shapefile format of an inventory of trees. Is it possible to integrate the 3D geometry of the .dae file in each of the points of my inventory?. to finally export it in a 3D viewable Kml file.

Hi,When launching a workbench using mostly SQLExecutors, with long sql statements, I can only see the first few lines for those statements on the Log file, for each SQLExecutor, but not the full SQL statement. Is this something that cannot be modified?I’d like to have all SQL lines that have been through the process. log file workbench Thanks, Juanma

Hello there, I’m currently working on a workflow for which I need a python package that is not preinstalled with FME. I tried installing the package according to this help page: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/Installing-Python-Packages.htm Unfortunately I got a dependency collision with other packages that are already installed.So I tried setting up a virtual environment but FME doesn't seem to support custom venvs. https://community.safe.com/transformers-9/how-to-integrate-a-custom-python-environment-27779 My question is:Without uninstalling or up-/downgrading the already installed python packages,what is the official way to avoid such dependency issues? Many thanks in advance.

Any way to write to different zoom levels on the same MBTile? If I change the mbtiles_zoom_level and send 2 rasters to the writer - it still writes 2 different tiles, and not within a single MBTile and different layers/overview. Is this not possible?

Hello all, I’m interested in seeing if FME can connect to ArcGIS Server Manager. I’d like to see that status of services (Started not started, instances running..), log messages to review issues, and possibly view the statistics reports (graphs of activity, views, response times etc).. Is this possible?

Hi Community! Is there anyone who has experience regarding interaction/integration possibilities of FME with Microsoft Copilot? Maybe in connection with image recognition tasks? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Christoph

Hi Everyone, Looking for some assistance, I’m using FME 2023.1.0.0 trying to migrate some existing Survey-123 forms and data with attachments from ArcGIS On-Line to our new Enterprise portal. Our survey-123 form has a singular photos field for tracking a picture of the bus stop, it also has a repeatable photo’s field (table) where the inspector is able to take and attach multiple deficiency photos to the stop if one exists. In FME, I’m able to read in the AGOL feature service that hosts all of the survey information, I’m also able to write out the tabular information from the point layer to the new Enterprise feature layer that was created when I saved the Survey-123 form in Enterprise. The part that I’m currently struggling with is getting the singular photos to attach when writing the tabular information out to the Enterprise feature service so when I view the points in ArcGIS Pro, they appear in the attachments tab of the attributes editor like they currently do with my AGOL service

I’m having an FME workspace that has a custom transformer that is set to parallel running. when running the workspace from FME form there is no issue, everything runs smoothly. If I want to schedule this workspace (due to lack of FME flow) using Windows task scheduler the workspace terminates because none of the cild processes run succesfully. They all crash with the message ‘Access is denied’. This is the commandline for a child process: When not running in parallel, there is no issue. anyone an idea what can cause this issue? it’s really fustrating on how to solve this?

Hello everyone, I’m not sure, but I think I encountered a bug in FME 2025.0? Some days ago I had to change the web connections because I had to change the Google Authorisation accounts. I had to replace the Web Connections with the new IDs and the configuration looks fine. But when I try to add any web connection (be it in user parameters or in a transformer itself) it just doesn’t appear on the dropdown menu. Is this problem known? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hello all, We have previously showcased the FME-QGIS Connector Plugin. We have just released the QGIS-FME Connector Algorithm Plugin. What is the difference between the two? The first being a tool can just be opened and used to process some layers on the fly and load the results into QGIS back as a temporary or physical GeoJSON file, whereas the second is used a a QGIS provider or an algorithm; in QGIS terms it is a tool that processes the data. Think of it as having the WorkspaceRunner inside QGIS. Yes, you can select a layer in QGIS, rotate the data using the QGIS Model Designer, run the data in FME Form to save it in DGN format then proceed with some process inside FME get back you data create convex hull then end back the data to FME to process it via the HTTPCaller in FME Flow then get back the results and load it back as a layer in QGIS. The user’s imagination is really the limit. Once the model created, it can be saved and loaded as a tool in QGIS Toolbox, Other things you can d

Hello all, We have developed a QGIS Plug in to allow QGIS users to select a specific layer in their project, process it in FME then get it back as a temporary layer or a normal layer in QGIS. Trust me, we usually say that the sky is the limit, but really there is no limit in what you can process. The plugin is still marked as experimental and wish to get some feedback through our support channel. You need to use our FME Workspace template (not an fmwt file, just a sample) and try experimenting. The workspace was developed using FME2024.2.0 . Some would say that QGIS already has a great number of tools which I agree, however FME has a lot more to offer in other areas. Before downloading the plugin, make sure you allow viewing the experimental plugins in the plugin manager on QGIS: The FME example looks something like this: The official plugin page is available here: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgisfmeformconnector/ I hope this will bring ease in your data transfer and data integrat

Hello, I am using a Sharepoint List reader to expose all hidden fields and show all fields. This usually works for me but not for this specific list.

I’d like to use FME to query ArcGIS Enterprise map services (content) and, if a new service has been published that day, post a link to the new map service in Slack. Has anyone ever done this?

Unable to connect to IBM DB2 in FME form 2024.2. I’ve checked with other members of my organizations’ logins and those work fine on my machine; it’s just this particular user that is having issues. Please see attached screenshots

Hello Forum, I need to pull in a live Microsoft Dataverse data table using FME. The table contains coordinate pairs. I want to pull this out to create one useable polygon geojson file. Here’s a screenshot of the Dataverse table... Can I create a connection into Dataverse in FME Form? What kind of values do I need to present to FME Form (from Dataverse) to make it work? Do I need any particular permissions opened up on the Dataverse, or FME side? Thanks, Stuart

We just a installed a new ArcGIS Enterprise (11.4) environment and want to connect to it with FME 2024.2 I successfully configured a Web Connection to the ArcGIS Portal using this guide. When I try retrieve Features Services from Portal this takes very long (4min) and eventually I get the an "Error Retrieving Selections” as below I tried connecting to https://mydomain/portal/sharing/rest/portals/self directly with an HttpCaller and the same Web Connection and that gives a good response✅. So my web connection is able to connect to ArcGIS Portal successfully. Just not with the FeatureReader. And also not with a traditional reader. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi everybody I have FME Flow 2024.2.3 installed on a virtual machine in Azure. I'm trying to publish a workspace from my computer using FME Form (FME Workbench 2024.2.3), and the WAF blocks it. I get the following error: requestUri_s /fmeapiv4/repositories/Samples/items/upload?overwrite=trueMessage: Illegal Content-Type headerdetails_message_s Pattern match ^[\w\d/\.\-\+]+(?:\s?;\s?(?boundary|charset)\s?=\s?[‘”\w\d\,\-]+)details_data_s {found within [REQUEST_HEADERS:]} How can I view the header content to determine what is illegal? Thank you for the help! Gerard

Hello everyone, I recently got my computer running FME Form replaced and made some observations regarding performance that I wanted to lay out since I am not sure that everything runs as it should. I am testing with a big workspace with close to 1000 transformers. Coming from an aging Intel i5 6th Gen with 32 gigs of RAM and now sporting an Intel i7 14700-K with 128GB of RAM I was expecting some substantial performance uplifts. The observation I made is this: Yes, when I only read and write locally I am seeing a good boost in performance (a little over 2 times faster). However, in production this workspace is meant to write to a PostgreSQL database over the network. In this scenario my new computer is very close in performance to the old machine, even getting beaten by a few % in overall processing time (writing to the same database over the network). Here is the numbers. New Computer Old Computer Writing around 430.000 Features to database over network 1hr 39m 1hr 29m Writing around 4

Hello, I am facing problems with my Bentley V8 Writer : The Writer offsets my text (labels) and I don’t know why. I just upgraded the Writer from 2022 to 2024.In the earlier version (2022) I didnt have this kind of problem. As I am not very familiar to Microstation I ask you to share your idea. :)Thanks in advance ! In the attachements you’ll find an image showing the error and a an exemple for tests.

To provide context, I’m trying to read tables from Amazon Redshift DBs, because our IT Dept does not allow direct connections to our Oracle Nonspatial DBs. We’re using Amazon Redshift as a “clone” of our Oracle data, refreshed daily. Problem is that when I access Amazon Redshift via FME Reader, tables in those schemas that are DDL-enabled are not visible to me (I can see the schemas just fine, but when trying to specify the specific tables, this below error appears). Fig. 01 - Tables not accessible in FME Amazon Redshift Reader The following image is when I click the “Show Log...” button. Fig. 02 - Logs from “Fetching Feature Types Error” But when using DBeaver (with the same connection details and credentials), i can view the tables and data just fine. Fig. 03 - Dbeaver Database Navigator I’ve shown this behavior to both the ArcGIS Pro vendor and our IT personnel, and they’re both stumped. What would be the probable problem here, and where should we start looking? See the following fo

Hi, we would like to test if it is possible to use IDS- files to validate propertySet in IFC- files. Any ideas?

Hi I tried to use .fits extension to read the data from FME 2023 and it doesnt work Its not accepting .fit extension I have attached the a file to test. Thank You

I’m trying to add a new database connection (FME Form 2024.2). I haven’t had any problems with this in the past but today the Add Database Connection dialog just freezes when I click Save. I’m able to click the Test… button to test the connection and that works. I’ve tried various connections to various databases and get the same behaviour - I’m able to test the connection successfully but not able to save it, so it does not appear to be a DB connection issue. I suspect it’s a file lock / permission issue on the connections file/DB that is being used but I have rebooted the computer and that did not help. I’m trying to save the connection for my own user (not a shared connection). Has anyone else experienced this and know how to resolve it?

I was just trying to load a wms into my fme workbench using the OGC WMS reader and i get the image with a resolution of 22m yet the image has a resolution of 8cm. I then loaded the same wms as a background map and it comes with the desired resolution of 8cm. Did i miss something or the calls made to the wms server using the background option is different from those made using the OGC WMS reader? i also realised that without setting the map width and height the resolution is very coarse then on setting the width and height, the resolution gets better, but i cant go beyond the maxheight and maxheight specified in the wms xml file. Below is the wms url. https://service.pdok.nl/hwh/luchtfotorgb/wms/v1_0?request=GetCapabilities&service=wms Kind regards, Keller.
