run .net code from fme

Hello, is there any way to run code from .Net DLL or executable from within FME Workspace? I know that we can use systemCaller and run it or use python and then execute it from that script but maybe there is any other, let's say more integrated way?It would be even better to have a possibility to write custom transformer in .Net with access to FMESession etc. Thanks for any hints.

HTTPCaller - transfer timeout with proxy server

I'm having problems running a HTTPCaller with a particular request on a terminal server with a proxy in place. No matter how long I set the transfer timeout for it always gets a transfer error when it reaches that timeout value.I know this request works because I've tried it on my local machine and it completes in about 8mins (timeout set to 15mins). The only difference I can think of is that my local machine doesn't need to go through a proxy whereas the terminal server does.I also know that a different request to the same web service on the terminal server work fine too so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the proxy server. This other request that I run completes in a matter of seconds, it is just the request that takes a long time to complete that won't work.The error in the log looks like this:HTTPCaller_3(HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'Timeout was reached'HTTPCaller_3(HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set

API multiple records with limit

HelloI am trying to download multiple records using HTTPCaller from a API endpoint. I need to get all records updated in last 7 days. I plan to schedule to run this on daily interval.I have used a query to get the max date and passing it to get recent data. The issue is that the API only allows 1000 records at a time. One has to set an offset start at 0,1000,2000 etc to get additional records. I dont know the number of records updated until i query all of them 1000 at a time. What is the best way to loop the Httpcaller and automate it so when i run it all records that were updated in last 7 days let's say it is 1800 are downloaded.Unfortunately I cannot share the API details.

How to enable geo+json content-type within HTTPCaller?

Hi all,I was trying hard to find a solution for this little issue within the HTTPCaller.I'm trying to request geoJSON data from an API, so, using the HTTPCaller works fine until the Content-type for a desired Request (POST, PUT) needs “Content-Type: application/geo+json”  As I've tried, with no luck, with this parameters: Throwing me back a 404 error...I wanted to know if there is any workaround to enable that content-type kind? I know that if I were using cUrl, I'd only need to add this Header: -H "Content-Type: application/geo+json"Btw, I'm using FME Desktop 2018.1Thanks in advance,

How to add TOKEN within a HTTPCaller RESTful API request?

Hi guys,I've tried to find any related question from this one, and no luck, so here is my doubt:I want to use HTTPCaller to send a GET, POST, UPDATE,... request to this RESTful API:APISo, authenticating the request is necessary and I'm not well related to the transformer HTTPCaller, so, I'm not sure if there is any particular option/way to insert the Token within the requests. Should be put the Token value within a the Header? I'm totally lost.If I plainly send the request , throws me back a http error:HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized - https://xyz.api.here.com/hub/spaces?includeRights=false&owner;=meCould you give any hint?Thanks in advance,

Encoding of diacritics in HTTPCaller

Migration to UN Model

Dear All and peopleAtSafe,I have reviewed few threads in community on migration to ESRI UN data model.There are 2 ideas postedFor Reader: https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/53502/read-the-esri-utility-netowrk.htmlFor Writer: https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/53497/write-to-esri-utility-network.htmlReply from @MarkAtSafe says "We are still in the process of developing a UN feature service reader and writer".Further @trentatsafe posted workbenches for both Gas and Waterhttps://knowledge.safe.com/articles/72048/utility-network-migration-tools.html I want know few things…1. I’m a beginner in UN model, when FME is capable of reading/writing to GDB/SDE then what is the need of additional reader/writer? Currently, Does FME don’t have capability to read or write of UN model or in other words UN model is not present in GDB/SDE?2. With the help of workspaces provided in the links, can I use them as-is and migration of data can be achieved from UPDM model to UN model without any us

Stored web connection?

Hi,  I have made a workflow that connects to a web API using the HTTP caller. I authenticated with Oauth2 and everything worked fine with my own account on the API service. I then went on to make separate web connections for the accounts of my colleagues. But now I got "access denied".   It turns out when retrieving the user info with the HTTP caller it logs on to my account no matter what web connection I set in the HTTP caller. I even removed the web connection with my own credentials completely but still I get a json response with my account details.  How is this even possible and is it a bug in the HTTP caller or the API I'm logging on to?   Thanks!

How do you find the current fmx file path in a PythonCaller?

Hello,I'm new to FME and I'm trying to write a PythonCaller in a Custom Transformer. I have a working standalone python program that uses the following code to load a DLL:  SourceFolder = os.path.dirname(__file__) giqdll = WinDLL(os.path.join(SourceFolder, "LibGIQ.dll"))  When I try to use this in my PythonCaller I get the following error:  Python Exception <NameError>: global name '__file__' is not defined  Is there an FME way of finding the full path of the fmx file?  Thanks,  Paul Michell

Open multiple datasets in multiple folders on FTP server directly ?

Hi,As far as I can see, it's not possible to open a FTP based dataset directly in a reader (MapInfo TAB) ?And FTPCaller only allows a single file to be downloaded at any time ?I have multiple folders with multiple datasets (consisting of multiple files) to import, and doesn't want to do this one file at a time.The optimal solution would be to open the datasets with a wildcard directly in a reader. Just like how you can within a ZIP.How to proceed ?Cheers.

How to export a workbench transformation to Python?

I know I'm being lazy by not thoroughly researching the available documentation, but maybe there's a simple yes/no answer to my question: can I directly export a .fmw workbench transformation to a Python module(s)? The closest analog I can think of is like in ArcGIS, where you can export a ModelBuilder diagram into a Python script.
