How many users can run the same workspace using FME Form in a same server at the same time? 

Hi everyone, We have floating licenses and installed FME Form in a server, and the users will login to that server to use FME. So, my question is How many users can run the same workspace using FME Form in a same server at the same time? My user has different username and password to access the server. Please advise. Thank you.

Using AutodeskDocsConnector in Flow

Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to get a workspace on FME Flow that makes use of the AutodeskDocsConnector. This single transformer would make my worksapace a lot smaller and easier to manage. Problem is that it just won’t work FME Flow! On Form it works without a hitch. On Flow accessing the same project and folder on Autodesk Construction Cloud also works when using the HTTPCaller. It’s only the AutodeskDocsConnector on Flow combo that seems to be failing me. This is the error message I get on Flow: Anyone have experience with this or know how to help me out on this one?

Create list of layers from online app

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s possible to create a list of layers included in an online application like Geoportal Map. I tried using the HTTP Caller, but I’m only getting general information about the webpage and no details about its content. Do you have any suggestions for extracting this data?

Esri portal Feature Service Upsert

Hi all, I’m working with a Feature Service containing approximately 1,000,000 sensors stored in a spatiotemporal big data store. I need to update 10,000 of these sensors based on their unique string ID, like sensors-0x21222. Currently, I'm using the FeatureWriter for the 'Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service' with the 'Use Global IDs' option enabled and 'Upsert' set as the 'Feature Operation' in the Feature Type. However, 'Upsert' requires a global ID. This approach feels very constrained, as it requires importing all 1 million records, merging them, and finding the global ID for each update. Is there a way to update a Feature Service using a primary key or unique field (such as upserting with a where clause) rather than relying on global IDs? This current method doesn’t seem ETL-friendly, as it requires importing parts of the dataset just to make updates. Thanks in advance for any guidance! Edit: Maybe I don't understand it. But for every featureservice/layer/featuretype I need to add,

Created my first ever workbench, but it seems very redundant, tried recreating it in a more streamlined way, but do not know what is best practice

Hi everyone, I am brand new to FME and created my first workbench. In a nut shell it does this: Brings in 6 different enterprise geodatabase feature classes using 6 ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) readers Each reader is connected to a tester to only select ‘active’ values in a status field Because I selected ‘resolve domains’ in the reader, an additional field for every field that had a domain was created. It was suffixed with “_resolved”, so I used 6 bulk attribute renamer transformers to rename the fields without the ‘_resolved” I then did 6 attribute removers and removed any fields I did not need when it came to exporting (note, many of the fields between each feature class were the same, but there were some differences) Finally, I used 6 different feature writers to export each feature class into a single geodatabase As you can see, I repeated the process 6 different times for every reader/feature class that I had. I was thinking to myself while doing this, ‘this cannot be the righ

Microsft SQL Server Non Spatial fieldtype issue

I am having a simple workspace; just a reader and writer (see screenshot below).The FeatureReader reads from a Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial and the FeatureWriter writes to Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial. The datamodel in both databases is the same and in the target database the table already exists.When writing it to the database there are warnings about the field type. For example (see also screenshot below) Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Writer: Attribute `.....' of feature type `.....' has specified type `varchar(1)', but existing database table field has type `varchar(2)'. Information may be lost during conversion It seems to double all the varchars; and also getting messages about bigint vs numeric. The data is correctly written in target but I want to get rid of all the warnings. I have tried various thing with reading the schema from both the source and the target table. Also tried with 'normal' readers and writers. And also tried with JDBC reader and writer. Does anyone

Using PythonCaller to convert PDF file to image

I want to read PDF files as images using OpenAI's Vision API to extract information. I realized that FME's PDF reader tool has issues with PDFs containing text created by digital signatures—it cannot read them either as text or as images. Therefore, I decided to use PythonCaller to create image files from the PDF files to ensure the data is complete. Below is my code: import pdf2imageimport fmeimport fmeobjectsimport os class FeatureProcessor: def __init__(self): pass def input(self, feature): pdf_path = feature.getAttribute('path_windows') images = pdf2image.convert_from_path(pdf_path, dpi=300) for index, image in enumerate(images): image_feature = fmeobjects.FMEFeature() image_feature.setAttribute("page_number", index + 1) temp_dir = "D:/temp" if not os.path.exists(temp_dir): os.makedirs(temp_dir) image_name = f"{feature.getAttribute('path_rootname')}_{index + 1}.png" temp_image_path = os.path.join(temp_dir, image_name) image.save(temp_image_path, "PNG") feature.setAttribute("image_p

FME does not know about coordinate system `EPSG:102003'

Full error; PROJ: proj_create_from_database: crs not found Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Failed to read coordinate system from SQL Server because FME does not know about coordinate system `EPSG:102003' I can use 102003 in the ProjReprojector tool, but, rather than assign _FME_0 as the CRS for this table, it leaves it as unknown, which means the reprojector tool fails, and 102003 doesn’t exist for me to use in the CRSSetter transformers. How do I set the CRS in feature reader when my desired CRS is not in the catalog (note to FME: this is also a request) I tried defining a custom projection here; demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmedatastreaming/Coordsys/Start.fmw?&token=01655ff804fe3b23f29a7b65568c51e81cd09691 but this workbench failed in translation / does not create .prj file I can use.

Views on recent FME price changes

I’m not sure if this is the right forum or category (I couldn’t select “general”), but as I’m sure you’re aware, Safe recently changed it’s pricing for FME, which includes annual maintenance pricing. We are a small consultancy business, long term Safe customer (10+ years) and have been FME advocates amongst our customers for many years. We have just received details of pricing for our annual maintenance in 2025 and for FME Form (previously FME Desktop Professional) for us this has increased by approximately 600%.The new maintenance price for FME Form is going to make it a lot more difficult to justify for a small business like ourselves. We were also previously lookng to expand our FME use by purchasing Flow, but the new pricing has also forced us to cancel those plans. We will also find it difficult to recommend FME to our customers, especially smaller ones, as the bar to entry in terms of pricing has been set so high. I have previously raised the issue of pricing with our reseller in

Sharepoint Online Connector - running from Flow does not read the current data?

Hi there, I have a workbench published to FME Flow. In the workbench I have a SharepointOnlineConnector which reads in an Excel Sharepoint spreadsheet, and downloads it to my shared data source in Flow server. The workbench runs successfully and the output (a table in ArcGIS Online) says it has updated, however the values are all old data. When I run the workbench manually from Form, the SharepointOnlineConnector reads the current data in the Excel. Any pointers on how to get Flow to read the current Excel Sharepoint?

Reading/Executing Microsoft Access Queries

Hello! I'm working with one of our legacy systems built in Microsoft Access, and I need to extract data from a query. So far, the only method I’ve found involves using the system caller and command prompt. Are there any alternative ways to achieve this? I've tried using the system caller, but I’m encountering security issues with the runtime version. It appears that I need to set the location as trusted, but I can't do that with the runtime alone. We're aiming to avoid installing the full version of Access, so we're limited to using just the runtime.

Dynamically changing URL in reader

Hi, I have an URL that I’d like to read in, but it contains the current date and thus is being updated everyday. How may I change the URL within the reader so that it’s automatically up-to-date? I’ve tried define a user parameter as a URL but I don’t manage to make it dynamic there. I thought I could replace the date e.g. 2024-11-05 with @DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y-%m-%d) in the Default Value URL but it doesn’t work. Any help appreciated!
