Data shifting FME/ArcGIS

When I bring lat/long data stored in SDE (NAD 83) into FME and run it through all of my transformers associated with doing an AreaOnAreaOverlayer the output appears to shift when I compare it to the original data in ArcMap. Here's a zoomed in area. The light purple color is the FME output. Any ideas why it would not maintain the exact integrity of the input data?

ftp download that checks for new data

I have a batch written in python that logs into a ftp site, checks a directory for a file, validates whether the date is newer than the last newest file (for which it downloaded the zipped shapefiles) and then downloads the zip if it is new, otherwise it sends a logfile, exits and waits for another day.   I'd like to redo the python batch into FME.    I know I can add my ftp paramaters in the Add Source Data in FME, but is there a way to check whether the data is new (has not been added before) and if so download it, unzip it, read the files and update the geodatabase, otherwise exit and send a log file.   The ftp features are "undocumented according to the documentation" (ironic) in transformers like HTTP Fetcher, so not sure if that is the approach or just a simple workbench with the ftp coordinates in the add data parameters with some attached voodo.  I'm sure someone out there does the same thing and has some code to share... pretty please.  thx G.

FME Server Web Interface Errors [MissingResourceException]

Hi@all, I am having major troubles with FME Server 2013. Everything installed fine on our dev-servers, but on production, I am facing the fact that FME is running, accepts connections from workbenches etc. but it is NOT showing the login boxes etc. in the web-interface. In Tomcat, I can see many of the following logs... anyone of you has an idea how to fix this?  Regards, Martin  Mar 4, 2014 2:23:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup SEVERE: Servlet /fmerest threw load() exception java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name clients.fmerest.fmerest, locale en_US at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(Unknown Source) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(Unknown Source) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(Unknown Source) at COM.safe.utility.i18n.FMEPropertyResourceBundle.init(FMEPropertyResourceBundle.java:45) at COM.safe.utility.i18n.FMEResourceManager.getResourceBundle(FMEResourceManager.java:65) at COM.safe.ut

FME ArcGIS connectivity

Hi! After upgrading to FME 2014 (build 14230) the drag-and-drop feature from ArcGIS desktop has ceased functioning. I'd like other users to confirm this. I spoke today with FME support in Sweden who acknowledged the error.  Previously, it was possible to drag an ArcGIS Desktop layer from the AG TOC into the FME main window. This was tremendously useful, particularly when reading sde data, because the entire database connection was included in the drop. You can still setup an sde reader, but will have to enter server name, user credentials and so on.  Was this a deliberate decision, or some syntax change on either side thas has stopped the drag-and-drop functionality?  Or maybe the new workbench GUI library? (this is a 32bit environment).    I have an FME 2013 sp4 in parallell, and the drag-and-drop works there

Esri geodb_subtype_name not avilable in 2014

I upgraded FME Desktop from 2011sp4 to 2014.  When I choose an Esri MDB as a reader the geodb_subtype_name is not found. I have checked the Additional Attrubutes but its not in the list. However it shows the geodb_subtype_name data when I look at it in the Data Inspector.  Same machine I've been using for over 2 years with Esri Runtime and FME Desktop2011.  Any thoughts  Chris

REST token with Active Directory Securioty

Hello,   I have used the sample REST C# code supplied by Safe to create a simple application. The sample code provided can be located here:   http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/REST/FMEServerRestAPIdemo.cs   We have two FME Servers here, one in a test environment, and another for production.   I have written my code against the test server, which uses standard security, using user and password managed by FME Server. Everything works fine.   However, when I use my code against the second server, which is secured by the Active Directory, I always get error 401, access denied.   Is there anyone out there that has used the REST API with Active Directory security?  Here is an example of the code I use to fetch a token:           private string GetFmeServerToken()         {             string fmeTokenUrl = this.Serveur + "/fmetoken/service/generate";               NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();               parameters["

PythonCaller error

We are using a PythonCaller to get some simple info from an input file to be used to validate the file is OK to process:   import hashlib import fmeobjects     def fileInfo(feature):     log = fmeobjects.FMELogFile()     try:         dir = FME_MacroValues['SourceDirectory']         fileName = FME_MacroValues['SourceTileId']         file = dir + "\\\\" + fileName + ".TIF"                  digest = hashlib.md5(open(file, 'rb').read()).hexdigest()                  fileSize = os.path.getsize(file) >> 20                  feature.setAttribute("actual_fileSize", fileSize)         feature.setAttribute("actual_md5", digest)         pass     except Exception, e:         log.logMessageString(str(e), fmeobjects.FME_ERROR)    Even though this works and we can test on the 2 attributes created we get the following errors:    Bridge failed to output feature on tag `PYOUTPUT' Python

ESRI licensing *cough nightmare* on FME Server

One question.  How can I make sure that a workspace only runs if it has an ArcInfo license available? That is - I want to check out the license before running the workspace (For instance in the python-script) ?  Not sure if this approach GUARANTEES that the license will not be used by someone else between the startup script and after a long processing (1 hour) starting the writer?  Related: http://fmepedia.safe.com/AnswersQuestionDetail?id=906a0000000cgTFAAY

FME Objects in Visual Studio 2012

Hello - I've built applications using FME Objects in previous versions of Visual Studio, first back in VB6 then in VB.NET in VS 2005.  I'm now trying to use FME Objects again in C# within VS 2012 and am getting stuck.  Stuck at the very beginnging.  If I try to include this in a class library I get an FMEOException when it tries to create a session. The operative part of the code is below.  IFMEOSession m_pFMESession = null; System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection pSettings = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection(); pSettings.Add("FME_DEBUG"); pSettings.Add("BADNEWS"); pSettings.Add("FME_USE_RICH_GEOMETRY"); pSettings.Add("yes"); m_pFMESession = FMEObject.CreateSession(); // Fails here     I've been told that FME Objects was built with an older version of the .NET library so I need to include an App.Config to reference the old runtime.   My App.Config looks like this:    <?xml version="1.0

Hide disabled objects

Hi,  I have a very complex workbench with a lot of different scenarios where I run only one or two or maybe more parts of it sometimes, while others are disabled within bookmarks. Maybe It could be done differently (splitting in few workbenches, simplifying, ..). But let it be like it is:)  Working like this, I realized that It would be very nice if there will be some option which hides all disabled parts ofthe  workspace (i.e. transformers, connections), not just coloring them light gray. One simple click on the icon "hide/show":) And I get better and cleaner workspace overview.

Pythoncaller error in FME2013 using external lib that include dll

Hi,  I'm using pythoncaller in FME2013 to manipulate an xml (it's a legacy workbench I have to maintain). I use the python interpreter that is installed outside of FME. Since we upgrade to FME2013, I get an error when importing external python libs that depends on .dll or .pyd files.  I get this error: Python Exception <ImportError>: DLL load failed  Is there a specific limitation of FME2013 with libs that contains .dll and .pyd?  Thanks  Jean-Sebastien

Log request

I do realize it's possible using the startup script, but it would be nice to have the time/date recorded at the beginning of the log when a translation is started.  If a user wanted to know during a translation when it was began, they would have it in the log.  Maybe it's there, and I'm overlooking it?
