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!

Create .gdb using Interlis .ili

Hi, I'm trying to create an ESRI geodatabase (.gdb) from an INTERLIS 1 file (.ili). The ili file only contains the structure of the database but no data. I'm using the ili2fme reader and ESRI Geodatabase writer. The transaction works but the resulting GDB is empty. Does anyone knows why? Thanks! -- ili2fme version: 5.7.6 -- FME 2013 SP4

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 below http://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 can

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 arcpy I 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)

HTTPCaller Transformer using the Post method

Hi: I have a HTTPCaller Transformer with Post method question. This will take Input addresses and then compare them to an address standardizer web service. I’ve had success using GET method (with a concatened URL) . But in my scenario there is an advantage to the Post Method. Does any have an example of using POST in the HttpCaller Transformer? Below is a sample of what I’d hope todo – POST /addresscorrection/service.asmx/Getstandardizedaddress HTTP/1.1 Host: test.testing.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded address=1125+Washington+St+SE+%23200&address2=&city=olympia&zip=98501&zip4=&state=wa address: 1125 Washington St SE #200 address2: city: Olympia zip: 98501 zip4: state: wa Any help is appreciated: Ian

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 slopes i'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.

So what I basically did was to add the login credentials to the Multipart Upload as follow: NameTypeValueloginStringUploadpasswordStringUpload Request URL: http://pvoutput.org/login.jsp HTTP Method: POST And then I got to save the cookies, in order to access the webpage and save the authentication HTTP Client Options: Save Cookies: Yes Unfortunately this doesn't work and doesn't authenticate or allow accessing the page.

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_RealTimeByFrequency Shivam

Is the way I implement fme feature setattribute correct for my purpose?

Hi everyone, I modified the FilePropertyExtractor created by Takashi Iijima to suite my needs but it doesnt seems to store the attribute value correctly. The Python code in PythonCaller below is to get multiple file from a folder and get the file's creation date (modified, etc.....) It runs without error. Since the files in my folder was of different creation dates, I expect the output will follow accordingly as well but somehow only one date was shown for every outputs rows. The print statement does show different value though. I suspect that I must have missed the part that ensure the values are properly stored and returned. Pls help me to correct it. # Original Implementation by Takashi Iijima, 2016-05-25# This a modified version import fme, fmeobjectsimport osdef extractFileProperty(feature): try: path = feature.getAttribute('__filepropertyextractor.path') for file in os.listdir(path): fullFileName=os.path.join(path,file) if os.path.exists(fullFileName) and not os.path.islink(fullF

HTTPCaller doesn't send NTLM auth info on second call

Hi, I have HTTPCaller in my workspace, and two urls to retrieve from server which requires NTLM authorization. Now, the retrieval of second url always fails, and I see in logs that libcurl doesn't send NTLM auth info on second call. I tried to enable Save Cookies, but it didn't help - server asks for auth on each request. FME(R) 2015.1.3.2 (20160108 - Build 15575 - WIN32) Any suggestion other than putting httpcaller in separate workspace and run it with workspacerunner? that time it will create separate instances of HTTPCaller for each url.

Parsing JSON list of ObjectIds from rest service

I need to download some data that's only available through a Map Service on a public ArcGIS server. I was thinking of downloading the data 1000 features at a time using JSON, but in order to do that I need to get the list of ObjectIds. The list of ObjectIds gets returned in a query request and the response looks similar to this: { "objectIdFieldName": "OBJECTID", "objectIds": [ 1, 2, 3 ] } I could parse this using Python, but I would like to be able to do it in FME 2014. When I use the JSON reader, each objectId gets read as a separate attribute and FME ends up hanging because it's trying to read tens of thousands of attributes! Is there a parameter setting or a better reader or transformer that would help?

FME can't read attributes of an ArcGIS relationship class

Hi all, I have (another) issue concerning ArcGIS relationship classes. I created in ArcCatalog a many-to-many relationship class between two feature classes. I didn't use the ObjectIDs für this relationship, as ESRI itself advises againt that. Instead, I used a FeatureID-attribute and filled the actual relationships into the relationship class by using Arcmap. Thus, the relationship class contains the attributes 'RID', 'FID_origin' and 'FID_destination'. When I read the associated Feature classes together with the relationship class into FME (Reader: "Ignore relationship info" deactivated), I get only 'missing'-values for these three attributes. When I expose the Format attributes 'gdb_rel_origin_oid' and 'gdb_rel_destination_oid', however, I see the ObjectIDs of the associated features. How can I get FME to read the values of the FID-Attributes? Because I have to update the relationship class regularly based on a attribute table that doesn't have ObjectIDs but these FID-Attributes, th
