FME and ArcGIS 10.5 - Why can't I add a File Geodatabase?

I've upgraded to ArcGIS 10.5 and now I am no longer able to a File Geodatabase ArcObjects Reader or Writer to my workspace. An error message tells me that FME is unable to check out a license. There are enough licenses.

Python dll not working in FME 2016 32-bit

We've been using the custom Python interpreter in C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\python27.dll so that we can import arcpy. In FME 2015 32-bit this has been working fine but we've started using FME 2016 32-bit and this causes FME to crash (we get an error message saying FME EXE has stopped working). I thought this was to do with importing the arcpy module but it appears to be a more fundamental problem with the interpreter. I'm using a basic script to test it which doesn't involve importing any modules and FME still crashes.

Expose domain values to a new feature class

Hi! I have a feature class with a coded domain on a short integer field, which refers to cities' names. I want to export it in a new feature class, but expose the associated coded-values description in a string field, and no more use of the coded domain; i.e. instead of value 1 for the city oh Washington, to store only "Washington"thanks!

Porting the EasyTranslator Sample Demo on my server

How do I modify the EasyTranslator sample to run on my local FME Server?I can successfully run the EasyTranslator workspace on my server but and I have downloaded and copied the playground demo to my web server. This version also runs when using the demos.fmeserver.com.s3.amazonaws.com url but not when using my server. What are the steps to convert the demo web application to use your own server? I think I have the workbench and workspace set up fine. I am pretty sure I just need to know how to port the sample to use my server.I have tried changing the host and token to use my local values in the easy translator.js and resource.js files but get odd behavior.I also created what I think is a correctly formatted version of the server-demo-config.json file using my local values as well. Not sure why that does not work either.Thanks for any tips or links to other questions....this is my first FME forum question!

Visualize collection of WMS-data to web

Hi again, fellow FME:ers!My organisation has collected a great number of WMS-links relavant to many of our employees. Currently these links are saved in an ArcMap MXD for documentation purposes (of course they can easily be extracted to tabular data via Python or similar). Our next task is to visualize these links on an internal web map where the links can be categorized and turned on and off. (As a future bonus we have discussed the option to have tools next to the links which will automate the procedure to open the specific wms in the GIS tool of your choice. But this is only a bonus...)Can we use FME Server to do this in an easy way? Or what set of tools would you recommend? Any suggestions or input will be highly appreciated!

httpcaller and encoding failure

hi all,Im coming accross an issue with the HTTP caller or attributefilewriter and encoding. I have created a WB that loops on a series of complete urls and downloads the file to a folder. Everything goes fine until we reach url with special characters as for example the one belowhttp://www.catastro.minhap.es/INSPIRE/Addresses/02/02021-CASAS DE JUAN NUÑEZ/A.ES.SDGC.AD.02021.zip (if you download this web page direclty on browser it works fine).Httpcaller fails on 404 not found since it parses another page http://www.catastro.minhap.es/INSPIRE/Addresses/02/02021-CASAS%20DE%20JUAN%20NUÑEZ/A.ES.SDGC.AD.02021.zipAbover URL does not work on browser.I have tried encoding the url before parsing to httpcaller, also encoding only the part of the url with the special characters and it fails all the time, even if the path parsed looks ok.It also fails in couldnt resolve host name.Any tip on this? I guess this is something related on how the url is parsed to httpcaller or filewriter but I cant solv

Using arcpy python module inside FME

Hi,I am trying to use arcpy python module in a fme 32bits startup python script but I got the error: Python Exception <ImportError>: No module named arcpyI have change the Python Interpreter to C:\\Python27\\python27.dll which I suppose its correct because ArcGIS used that python to install its stuff and its a python 32bits.If I run python from a command line, I can import arcpy.As I am on Windows, I suspect there is something wrong with my environment variables, but I cant find information about this issue.Anyone can help me with this? Thank you a lot!

Is there a limit on the amount of memory/RAM FME 2016 32Bit can utilise on a machine?

Hi All,I'm currently running several memory hungry models using FME 2016 32Bit (as I'm using ESRI software therefore 64bit is unsuitable), but I keep getting the 'Translation Failed' due to memory issues. Just to clarify, I only run one at a time and have had to break them down in order for them to complete. I've attached an image of the memory available on my machine and am unable to find a reason as to why it's failing. I've been monitoring the memory usage throughout and at most the models are utilising 10-20% of the available memory. Is there a cap on what FME can utilise?Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Problem with wildcards for Filename (multiple) type parameter on FME Server (REST)

Apply max, mean, mode to building footprint using an elevation grid

I'm sure this must be really simple but i can't seem to find a way of doing this using FME.I have a number of polygons representing building footprints and need to calculate the max, mean & mode for each using a DTM.The only options i've found so far would be to either;- turn my polygons into points at vertexes and apply the values to these - do a centrepointreplacer and just use that - not ideal for large buildings / those on slopesi'm sure there must be a simple way to achieve this.

Define Output Dataset to include in Datastreaming services when publishing with FME server REST API

When using the REST API to publish a workspace on FME server, you can register a service but if you register a datastreaming service you can't specify the dataset to include as output of the service.In my experience, the first publication of your workspace must be done using the workbench and anytime you want to republish it you can use the API.Anyone found a solution?

Define success\\failure topics when publishing workspace with FMEServer REST API

Hi,When publishing a workspace from FME Desktop to FME Server, we can specify the success/failure topics to raise at the end of the execution. Is it possible to do the same with FME Server REST API or do we need to specify, each time, NMDirectives when running the transformation (transact or submit) ?Thanks for your help,Thibaut.

filtering out duplicate numbers

So I have two main sources:An sql script.And an excel sheet.I want to compare the attribute ADRNR from one source with the other ADRNR1. If its a match then it shouldn't do anything because i didn't hook a writer to that and if it doesn't then it fails and should give me the values that aren't duplicates. I tried doing this with a simple tester but it doesn't work unfortunately. Here is how my tester looks like:the Failed output should give me the values that aren't duplicates.I think its because fme tucks every source nicely under eachother so that it can't compare it with eachother. Is my assumption correct and how can I make this work? Do I need to combine the data from the sources first? I just want to do a comparison between the these attributes of different sources and filtering out the unique ones.The workspace looks like this. Thanks in advance.

Extract Info from Live API Calls

Hi. I am working on GTFS data and the information that is been provided for Hong Kong is in the Live API calls. By mentioning 'Live', I mean that the info for each vehicle changes every second with the location of the bus. Is there some method by which we can actually extract the correct information?One method that I have thought is to get the data everyday at the same time.Can anyone suggest me of some method which is more simpler and flexible.http://ptx.transportdata.tw/MOTC/Swagger/#!/CityBusApi/CityBusApi_RealTimeByFrequencyShivam
