what transformers to use to match polygon sides to polylines

[FME 2015.0 as Data Interoperability in ArcCatalog 10.3] I have polygons that represent parcel data from two different counties. I also have polylines in a .dgn file that represents the actual parcel lines based on a survey. I thought of running a routine to close the survey data to polygons but many of the lines are only partial lines (i.e. only one side of a parcel) so they need to remain polylines. I ran a script to isolate only those dgn layers that represent parcel lines and created a separate shape file. I would like to run a routine that will compare the survey polylines and the polygons and show me if any of the sides don't match. I will ignore the matches but want to update any polygon sides to match the survey data. (I added a CoordinateRounder to 2 decimal places for both input files to address coordinate rounding). So after I find the non-matches I want to change the polygon edge to be the same as the polylines within a tolerance. The polylines from the dgn will not be

Javascript Rest example keeps sessionID

I was experimenting with this example:https://playground.fmeserver.com/javascript/server-uploads/upload-file-drag-drop/My problem is that the sessionID doesn't change. So if I upload multiple times all those files are processed. (I don't want that) I have to either change the sessionID or remove the files before uploading new ones. Any advice on this?

FeatureMerger to add a table onto a polygon shape produces no geometry

[Software ArcCatalog 10.3 with Data Interoperability] I have a group landxml files that I coerced into polygon shapes, performed some text editing (i.e. extraction), and then filtered into two different workflows. These files include an attribute for the parcel numbers (Name)I also have a group of excel spreadsheets that contain the information about these polygons, and were modified by attribute split and some string replacement. They also include a column for the parcel numbers (Parcel_list) that was created through the modification.Using the FeatureMerger, the Excel table was brought into the supplier port, and the polygons into the requestor port. The parameters have the correct Requestor and Supplier attributes and I compared the two columns to confirm the information matches. Merge parameters include merge type = "attributes and geometry". Results as follows:Merged - no returnsNot Merged - no returnsReferenced - this is the largest group. In the inspector all it returns

how to run multiple http caller at a time

Hi Team,Each feature should go to httpcaller(service request) and comes out with response body. in my case httpcall takes 30 secs for each feature. But I can use 10 httpcaller at a time. Now my query is when my first httpcaller runs, the next feature should go to second httpcaller and third one to thirs httpcaler and so on....used modulo counter , so it resets at 10, and used attrubute filter to separate port outs. But http caller waits to each feature. I mean second httpcaller waits for the first one to complete.how can I achieve this? for me, I can run the http service parallel y 10 times(10 Licenses I have).Now i need fme to run the http parallally Please help

Arcbycenterpoint to draw with FME and output in gml format

HiI have too many problems to solve this question. So any help would be appreciated. I have a point (centerpoint ) defined in geolat and geolong coordinates. No problem for me to have this point in decimal degrees or in radian coordinates. I have also a radius (23 NM ). I found a way to output this radius in 2 coordinates of meters (primary axis x is East -West and secondary axis is North -South ) because i draw this circle with a ellipsoidal représentation. It's an airspace and when i project this airspace with FME i have to obtain an ellipse. Formulae here : https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/725/calculating-accurate-length-in-meters-for-lat-long.html ( the excel file do the job )In input i gave the latitude of the centerpoint in décimal degrees. For my example ( 44°49'37"N - 0°43'16"W) and in decimal degrees (44,82694444 ; -0,72111111). I obtained 2 values with the Excel file.For latitude : 0,0089986 degrees per 1000 m For longitude : 0,0126448 degree

Circle or arcbycenter : radius issues

HiI don't understand why i have to "reproject " a radius expressed in NM, km... to obtain a good geometry and how to do it.I always obtain a very big line ( radius = 23 NM for example) and a very little arc when i zoomed on the center of the line. Is it possible to explain me the "reprojector" .It's hard in english. .. :-(

API alternative

Probably a question without an easy answer but like to pick your minds:We use GeoCortex Essentials for our map viewers. We added Workflows (.NET) to the viewers as custom user interfaces to communicate with FME server via API. (Simple things: upload (log)file, choose CRS, proces data, add data to gdb, wait for a succesful from FME server, refresh mapservice.)This works very well in Test but fails in Production. Test and Production are not exact duplicates; In Test Essentials and FME Server are installed on the same machine. In Production Essentials and FME Server are installed on different machines. The requests from Essentials are TLS 1.0 and FME Server API seems not to accept these. We can fix this by sending the requests via a proxy but this feels fishy. All installations are outsourced so we are a bit limited in IT changes.As an alternative I can create json files with the parameters I would like to send the API over post and a DirectoryWatcher to receive the json with FME Server.

Any way to set time interval between HTTP requests in HTTPCaller transformer?

Hi! I am using HTTPCaller transformer to repeatly send many http requests to a remote server for some task. By observation I found that HTTPCaller sends the next request right after receiving the response for the current request. This may significant increase the load of the remote HTTP server.Is there a way to let the HTTPCaller wait for a couple seconds after receiving the response before sending the next request? Thank you!

Is possible to save a workflow as "FME 20XX" (early version of FME)?

Hi!I have this environment: the desktop version of FME is different from the server version (server: 2017 and desktop: 2016).Is possible to create a workflow using FME 2017 and save this workflow as "FME 2016"?Or when i start FME 2017, is possible to configure to use only "FME 2016"-compatible transforms/readers/writes (some type of settings to show only 2016 transformers etc)? The solution I am using is to have both versions installed: FME 2017 and FME 2016.There is no problem to have both versions installed. This question is more of a curiosity that I have.Thanks!

Uploading multiple files with the REST API

Were trying to use the REST API to upload multiple files for processing in a web application. However each file ends up in a separate directory. $(FME_DATA_REPOSITORY)/{RepositoryName}/{workspacename}.fmw/{UniqueCode}/{filename}  So when we have have tiffs (not geotiffs) and tfws, the world files are not in the same directory as the image file, and therefore are not used by the tiff reader.  Any thoughts on how to keep the auxiliary files with the main file? Unfortunately creating a zip file is not feasible.

Has anyone experienced FME crashes when importing arcpy in a 64 bit FME from ArcGIS 10.4.1.The arcpy from ArcGIS 10.3.x has no issue with 64 bit FME, and the 10.4.1 works with 32 bit FME.  In 32-bit I'm pointing to C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\python27.dll In 64-bit I'm pointing to C:\\Windows\\System32\\python27.dll  If I use any other interpreter I get the "no module named arcpy" error.

SOAP WS-Security

I’m trying to call a SOAP service from FME Desktop using the HTTPCaller. This service is secured with WS-Security and requires a username token and digital signature (from a PKCS#12 bundle). I’ve managed to get this working in SoapUI by following this documentation. Is there any way to apply this type of security in FME Workbench?Thanks in advance!
