Integration

Hi all Just wondering if Has anyone has experienced very slow request times when downloading the licensing JSON request file? We have a new install of FME Server 2018.1 on linux RHEL7. Its offline so we must download the license request JSON file. We requested via the web-ui and it took nearly 10 minutes to return the file. We tested using the REST API test page with similar timings. Other REST calls seems to work fine.We've done a number of installs the mirror this onto different environments with out encountering and delay.The logs do not seems to indicate anything adverse. A bit of a head scratcher but thought I'd see if the hive mind could help. CheersAdie

Hi all.As it says in the title, all I need is to find an API (XML, not JSON) that will convert 1 easting and northing (OSGB) to latitude and longitude. I must not use macros.That's it.I can find API's that convert postcodes to Lat Lon, but nothing so far for East North.My spreadsheet (LibreOffice) has a chart with all the points displayed using using Eastings for X, and Northings for Y.It finds the max & min co-ords, adds them together and divides by 2 to give the centre of all the co-ords in the form 280827,716553 (centering, in this case, roughly east of Edinburgh).It would use the "central" East North to point the user to an Openstreetmap, which unfortunately wants Lat & Long in the format :https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/56.335159/-3.9475065  Nothing fancy, just one East North to one Lat Long. Doesn't even have to be that accurate.I don't suppose there's a formula that would do it...Anyone?

Good morning,I am working with FME AR, and I would like to add attributes to some line work. Is it possible to do that?My idea is I would like to be able to select a line in AR and it would display attributes about the line.  Thanks!David

Hi - Keen for some thoughts on this.I'm using an XMLTemplater to prepare a SOAP request and then an HTTPCaller to make the call to a web service. This is working well.The SOAP request takes a BatchNumber which is default 1.The service returns data in batches (if there are more than a 1000 records). With the first return a BatchCount is also returned which tells me how many batches there are in total.With this - If I re-call the service again and set BatchNumber to 2 in the SOAP request - then I'll get the next set and so on.The problem I have? How do I model this? I have the process running perfectly with 1 batch. Don't know how to effectively re-run the process based on the number of BatchNumbers.Any thoughts?Thanks

We are looking at running ArcPy scripts built in ArcGIS desktop on FME Server 64 bit. Server is running ArcPro 3.5 Python. Some Arcpy libraries do not work with ArcPro. Has anyone figured out how to run both ArcPro 64bit libraries and ArcPy 32 bit from a FME workbench on Server. ArcPro python works fine as long as the python was written for ArcPro.

HiI am trying to retrieve JSON location data from a CMX service. If I login using Chrome, I can access a JSON document from .../api/location/v2/clients and use that file as input in a workspace, but I would like to integrate the authentication process as well in the workspace. Any hints on how to achive this using the HTTPCaller?The documentation can be found at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/mse/10-2/api/b_cg_CMX_REST_API_Getting_Started_Guide/b_cg_CMX_REST_API_Getting_Started_Guide_chapter_01.html.Magnus 

I'm trying to run a job with fmeserver/restapi, calling with ajax method on my own web service. I have FMEServer installed on localhost and on remote machine with its own IP. It doesn't work on neither. My web service is still under developement on localhost. My ajax is as follows:and what I get is:My FME CORS configurations are below:Any idea what might have gone wrong? Perhaps the reason is working on localhosts (web - port: 8000, fme - port: 8000)?I'd be really grateful for any piece of advice.

hi, I am new to the esri portal side of things and i am currently have a small issue. i am using a HTTPcaller to post to esri portal.As far as i understand if i was to manually upload to portal via add item on the portal page this creates a feature service for my data.my issue is when using fme to upload a shp, gdb to portal the feature service link is not been created. (as far as i understand the process)do i need to create a feature service first or perhaps create a feature service attribute within my portal upload? hopefully that makes sense. cheers

Hi Fmeirs, I am not getting datadownload link inside the body of my email. I created a topic and subscription. and everything is configured. and working fine.I used fmeservernotifier inside fmw. And running from fme server. I am getting all plain text and the pulished parameters (variables) as email, But not datadownload url. Can anyone help me where i am going wrong?i attached sample fme script. 

The goal is to construct any know URL with parameters to call and return values to FME but FME HTTPCaller wants to mess with it which renders it useless. The problem is that FMECaller messes with the format and messes up the URL rather than using the raw URL and just substituting values: I need to be able to construct various different RESTful API calls and substitute values and not spend a great amount of time trying to predict what HTTPCaller will do when creating the final URL. For example.http://...../api/LSCustom/v1/rtcm2rp/@Value(routeid)&@Value(measure)?@Value(t)&@Value(caller)Should look like this:http://...../api/LSCustom/v1/rtcm2rp/routeid=0100000000000094-I&measure=57.25?t=true&caller=mefmeFME HTTPCaller creates this instead:'http://..../api/LSCustom/v1/rtcm2rp/&?&&routeid=0100000000000035-I&measure=55.555&%3Ft=true&caller=mefme' So it adds to areas incorrectly ....I have no idea what or why it adds the &?&& before

I have a printing/plotting question about a GIS communications network map. Our clients want to plot a large ARCH E map for their wall of a network map. The issue is the network map isn't legible when plotted from a geographically correct land base. Traditionally clients will redraw in AutoCAD so they can print the same size map and read it when printed. For example, instead of the width of a street being 50 feet, they will redraw it as 200 feet and move/redraw the other facility vectors accordingly. I'm looking to see if their is a solution out there that will automatically adjust/scale the map so it is legible when plotted. Since I haven't been able to find a solution, I have tried to attempt this with FME, but haven't been 100% successful. Adjusting the streets is easy and don't have any issues there. I have also had pretty good luck moving points from the original edge of the street to the new edge of the street. The part that I am trying to determine the best w

I can turn off the Visual Preview after running one FMW. However when I run the workbench again the Visual Preview is checked again and the window is displayed against my wishes. It is as if it ignored my preference for having it off, or the selection gets overridden.Now I have an Inspector object in the workbench and the Visual Preview setting stays unchecked as long as I run the workbench with it disabled or unconnected. But when it is connected or enabled the Visual Preview always presents itself even though I have unchecked it on the last run.As a tangent, is there any way to launch the Data Inspector application and bypass the Visual Preview window? In some cases I don't want the Visual Preview to take up some of the overall window or have it take the memory/cpu to process a preview for 100,000 or so features.Thanks,Pete

I am trying to join an ESRI Feature Class to an ESRI Attachment table. It looks like the join is working correctly but it is not showing the attribute information from the Feature Class. I am using a Left join where the Feature Class is joining to the Attachment Table. I am seeing the attributes from the Attachment Table but the attributes from the Feature Class are blank even though there is data in the fields. The data is being joined on a REL_GOBALID and GLOBAL ID field. I verified the data to make sure the data joined in ESRI. i am attaching a couple images. I also noticed that the unjoined right is showing all of the incoming features. As I said I verified outside of FME Desktop that these features should Join. i am stumped.

Hi there, I have three groups of data (Group A, B and C). The groups have different amounts of total kilometers.Group A has a total of 890 km, Group B has a total of 770 km and Group C has a total of 849 km. Is there a transformer that can detect/specify which group has the closest amount of kilometers to a specific value defined by me via a parameter? Example: If 850 km is filled into the parameter, Group C with 849 km would be the best candidate.Thank you!

Is there an example of a node.js service call sending a file to FME rest api? In Postman you can select binary and that works. How do you do that in code though? What does the body look like? could you use formdata? What is FME expecting? I have reviewed https://www.safe.com/training/recorded/fme-server-2018-rest-api/ but I don't see how do this with code.   

Is ther a way we could trigger a workspace using SMS , The wok flow is as fellowThe work space 1 , will send an SMS to the client with question the client should replay with 1 or 2 .How could we trigger an other work space based on this response. 

I'm looking to do something that I'm not sure is totally possible, but I'm trying. My goal is to copy a seed MDB file for each unique input attribute value, and rename to that value. I could have upwards of 200 unique names, and there will be one feature enter the PythonCaller per unique attribute. This is where my lackluster Python skills have taken me. The exception I'm getting is 'global name library is not defined'.I have a feeling that even if this did process through as it is, I would only get one mdb copy with the first feature to pass through.

Hello,We are trying to update/insert/delete records within a Enterprise Asset Management system using the software's web service endpoints. We take information from our CAD/GIS environment and need to feed it into the EAM environment using these web services. I understand the records need to be appropriately formatted but I am confused on how to actually "write" these records out the EAM software's endpoints. I have done some web searching with little luck. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to get a solution like this off the ground.

With the help of this forum, I have been successful in reading an ArcGIS Feature Service using a token. I am trying now to simply read an REST ArcGIS ImageServer service. This is a raster of estimated rainfall over the past 7 days. I would like to read the service and derive the average rainfall within a buffered point. The issue is I cannot seem to connect to the image service to read the pixel values of the raster.  Any ideas?

Is there a way in FME to watch an API directory?What i'm trying to do is to get FME to watch http://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/datasets?q=NSPLto see if there is a change.

Are there any known issues with the FME AR application on Android devices? We are running it on a Samsung galaxy S7 Edge. This is one of supported devices according to https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices.When we run the app the fmear file can be loaded, it just doesn't display. We are using the sample files from https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/803/view-your-data-with-augmented-reality.html as well as one of our own. All the files show correctly on an iPhone.Details of the Android version are below.

Good afternoon,I am trying to run a workspace on FME Server that utilized the AutoCAD OD reader. When I run the workspace I receive the following error code:"AutoCAD Reader: Error opening file 'C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\temp\\Chicago_Building_1_201902251923396464_cad\\DP_L_2_CAD.dwg, C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\temp\\Chicago_Building_1_201902251923396464_cad\\DP_L_1_CAD.dwg' during version check "I have checked the file path and both CAD files exist in the folder. So I am a bit puzzled why I am receiving this error. I have tested the workbench on FME Web Portal with the same workspace and it ran correctly, but running through the API failed and caused the above error code. Any assistance would be great!Thanks,David

I have an ArcView Grid and I would like to import it into Petrel.Does anyone have experience doing this? I've tried with a geotiff, but I do not have the license.The ArcView Grid is topography (so a surface).
