Integration

Hello,Since one or two major versions (I would say FME 2018 but not 100% sure) of FME Desktop, whenever I import feature classes from dataset of an ESRI writer (SDE, FGDB), they appear in red because the geometry type for the feature class is not configured. I am sure that it was not the case before and this information was retrieved from the geodatabase.Is it an issue on my side (misconfiguration of the writer ?) or is it on purpose ?I find it personally quite annoying when importing many feature classes. Is there a workaround ? Thanks !

I'm trying to use the FME Server REST service to get information about Job History, I'm using this call: https://<fmeserver_host>/fmerest/v3/transformations/jobs/completed?limit=-1&offset;=-1The problem is that it's only returning information about 1000 jobs when there are much more in there. We're running FME Server version 17725. I can't see anything about limits in the documentation and I'm wondering if this is a bug or if it's just undocumented. Can anyone test this call on their server to see if you see the same thing? I'm following it with a JSONFragmenter with 'json[*][*]' as the query to split up the response. I'd rather not build a workaround for this if it's a bug. 

I use python caller to get data from json into FME desktop. Through few steps in Python, I exctract the data that I need and add it to a python dictionary.  Basically this dictionary contains pairs of plan numbers (Unique Identifier) & coordinates for polygons (python list).The last few lines of my code are :    plans_dict = dict()    for each in campuses['campuses'][0]['sitePlanMetadata']['spatialMetadata']['planFootprints']:                # creating dictionary with plancode as key and polygon coordinates as values        plans_dict[each['planCode']] =  each['polygons']['coordinates'] Then I tried to  output the dictionary to my FME workbench to use the data in the next step, which is create a spatial dataset containing the polygons:output = plans_dictfeature.setAttribute("output", output) I get an error:Python Exception <TypeE

Hello,I'm trying to do a POST request, following this tutorial: https://developers.bimdata.io/tutorials/dev_get_access_token.htmlClient ID: dd094dd6-3a18-4555-8567-df53b368583fClient SECRET: a41e507e8e4819b118d145a94f0afcc06558b6842107c27babbf5f8fBut I can't figure it out.My thinking was that the --data part is just the upload body as a string, but apparently not.Would really appreciate some hints. Thanks in advance.Edit: Ok, after some trial and error: Upload body needs to be encoded as a URL, not text. Oh well...@FME moderation team: Could be helpful for othe FME users using the bimdata API, otherwise, feel free to delete. 

This is the error I receive from the PythonCaller:Python Exception <ValueError>: 'L' is not in listTraceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 22, in inputValueError: 'L' is not in listError encountered while calling method `input'PythonCaller_3 (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature Here is the python in the PythonCaller: it's reading two attributes from the ListBuilder.

I have a workspace which fetches data from a webservice, creates a new output and then submits said output to an e-mail recipient. Sometimes fetching the date throught the HTTPCaller fails due to the source being unavailable. Since this is an issue with a proxy which I cannot fix, I need my workspace to restart if fetching the data has failed. However, immediately retrying doesn't work because if the source is unavailable, it usually stays this way for a few minutes.I would therefore like my workspace to run and retry after 15 minutes if fetching the data fails. So far, I can think of the following solutions:encapsulate the httpCaller in a custom transformer and use a loop if no data is returned. Works ok but blocks one of the server-engines as long as the data source cannot be reached. Also the delay before the next rety needs to be set within the workspace.use a ServerJobSubmitter that runs the same workspace again - might lead

Need to query layers,Layer field attributes from an ArcGIS server mapservice after generating token from url (http://arcgisserver.com/arcgis/rest/services///MapServer/).Now I am struck at how to use generated token next for getting the layer related tables and attributes.Any help on how to use generated token.

I am attempting to download a number of files using the HTTP caller request.I currently have a large quantity of URLs in tabular form, each with an identical URL apart from the end part which follows this structure: "fileID=xxxxxxx&attach=true", where the xxxxxxx signifies the document UID (i.e. 1234567).When I run this request through the HTTP Caller (Get request as a file), the file returns the following error code:2020-04-28 09:28:43| 0.6| 0.0|ERROR |HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL'2020-04-28 09:28:43| 0.6| 0.0|ERROR |HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up I am trying to identify a solution for this as the HTTP Caller clearly, as I believe, does not identify my request as a standard

Hi All,How to develop a tool that can be plugged into Cityworks map viewer to display an AutoCAD file format (*.dwg)?For example, we managed to develop a tool and plug it into Geocortex viewer so that end user can upload an AutoCAD file format and get it displayed into the viewer as shown in the screenshots below. The FME desktop and server capacity (creating workbench and publishing it) is used to develop the tool with particular configuration at the level of Windows (operating system) and Geocortex.Currently, we are trying to develop the same tool (displaying AutoCAD file format) and plug it into Cityworks map viewer. Is this something we can perform with the capacity of FME Desktop\\Server or an API Javascript code as it has been successfully completed for Geocortex viewer? 

Hi, I tried to have OSM as background map in FME Data Inspector, without success.Anybody can tell me how to do so ?

Trying to upload .SHP files into SFTP server using scheduler. I've tried FTPCaller and 'Upload to SFTP server' action (in FME 2019.1 Automation) but it doesn't authenticate and throws this error -Ensure correct host key is listed in the known hosts file In Automation, I've uploaded private key in SSH format to resources folder and passed it to 'Path to Hosts file' parameter. It doesn't get authenticated but was able to connect to SFTP server in WinSCP via private key. Not sure if the private key has to be in SSH format or PuTTY format for FME. Firstly can this be done?Also tried in FTPCaller with 'Upload from an Attribute' transfer type, but not sure of the URL value as it only has hostname and username.Please suggest. Thanks in advance!

I have a problem trying to access a FTPS server using the FTPCaller. I get an 'SSL connect error' when attempting to connect. The same process works in Filezilla. Can this be done in FME?

I know from this question (https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/33872/define-sucessfailure-topics-when-publishing-worksp.html ) that there used to be a way to add success and failure topics to a workspace but does anyone know if there is a way to do this with FME Server 2018+. I can't really see how I could do it in the REST API

Server 2019. I try to submit a data streaming job via the rest api. This works partially now, as I get it running and finishing successfully but the published parameters don't come through. What I did was change the url fromhttps://<base url>/fmerest/v3/transformations/submit/<repository>/<workspace>.fmwtohttps://<base url>/fmeserver/streaming/fmedatastreaming/<repository>/<workspace>.fmwand kept the json body like I do when submitting via the job submitter. When I run it from the GUI in server I see the published parameters being added to the request as Form Data, but before I try to change the request to Form Data I would like to double check if the JSON way is not possible? Thanks for looking.

I have a requirment to delete a file if the workspace has failed and I need to revert the output file which I have written. I used python caller to remove by passing a file path as parameter, but the file is not removed from the directory, however the translation is showing as successful with 0 features written.

Hello, I did a processing where I classified the individual LAS files into "floors" and "buildings " and subsequently generated them into mosaics. Mosaics only contain values " 0 "= floors and building heights. The picture shows a mosaic.I would like to calculate the H / W index by dividing the average height of buildings by the area of cells with "0". How should I start? which transformer should I use?Thanks in advance,Kristina

Hi all, I am trying to access my Strava data specifically where I have ran/cycled for some data vis.I have added Strava as a web connection according to these instructions: https://hub.safe.com/publishers/gerhardatsafe/web-connections/strava While in the 'Managed Web Services' I have added in Client ID and Client Secret and testing the connection seems to be successful. I have also added it as a Web Connection/Service.When I run the HTTPCaller transformer with say https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete (or whatever else in http://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/) and put in authoriza

I want to get and sort metadata from a CSW.I have tried using the HTTPCaller and sent this request: https://www.geonorge.no/geonetwork/srv/nor/csw-dataset with POST and BODY:  <?xml version="1.0"?><csw:GetRecords xmlns:csw="http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2" service="CSW" version="2.0.2" resultType="results" outputSchema="csw:IsoRecord" startPosition="1" maxRecords="15"> <csw:Query typeNames="gmd:MD_Metadata"> <!-- <csw:ElementSetName>brief</csw:ElementSetName> <csw:ElementSetName>summary</csw:ElementSetName> <csw:ElementSetName>full</csw:ElementSetName>

I am curious if it is possible to populate a field based on other feilds? Basically just how you would in arcmap via field calculator. Not sure how to make sense of the parameters in the PythonCaller transformer. And I'm not very experienced with python. Any help would be appreciated.

The error code from the server was '504' and the message was: 'Your request has timed out.'. Details: '' Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Hi,I'm trying to call an API endpoint using PythonCaller but this endpoint requires authentication. I made it work by first (in the init) connect to the web connection and get the token than send it to the def input and used the token in the header of my endpoint call.My question is: is there a way to get this token from one of my web connection set in the Tools->FME Options->Web Connections (or either from a published parameter configured with one of them)? The idea is to use the PythonCaller as a HTTPCaller which uses Authentication thank you

Hi, I'm trying to use a HTTPCaller with multiple features but when the API has no response (no content) with the OK code 204, HTTPCaller give me back a timeout. It is like its is expecting anything otherwise, HTTPCaller returns timeout. On the API endpoints with OK return (200) there is no problem, but when calling the API with no content as return, this problem happens. I could bypass this problem with a Decelerator with 1 second per feature (less than 1 sec same error occurs), but I don't thing this is the most appropriate way to do it so. Any Ideas?Thanks

When I make a GET request to /transformations/jobs/completed there are two objects returned that both include a 'status' element; the Job and the Result object. What are the differences between these two?Second, what status values can be returned and how are they defined?
