Integration

I created a workspace using FME 2016.0 or older that contains a python script that uses arcpy to connect to an SDE Geodatabase. But now if I try to run that same workspace using FME 2016.1, the script is either throwing an error or not working as expected. I can run that same python script with Python outside of FME without a problem.

Some of our systems have one and some have the other. We have separate license servers of ESRI and FME. The Data Interop ext. does not use an FME Desktop license while the FME Ext for ArcGIS ext. does. What is the difference between the two?

Hi, I need to pre-generated a set of bookmarks files for a large number of projects in ESRI ArcMap 10.3. It looks that this functionality is available only via ArcObjects.Apparently, there is a way to work with ArcObjects from Python using ComTypes package (according to this presentation from ESRI Dev Forum 2010): http://www.pierssen.com/arcgis9/upload/misc/python_arcobjects.pdf. This is also a related blog post (2016): https://tereshenkov.wordpress.com/tag/comtypes/I was wondering if anyone tried to explore integration of FME - Python - ArcObjects using this method. I understand that it's may be more related to ESRI environment, however the majority of my data, workflows are in FME. If there is a working example, it can be extended to such operations as generating ESRI mxd files, ESRI network datasets, etc.I appreciate any input or advice on this topic.Kind regards,Sasha

Hello all,I have a Website that has a Links to extract XLS files:http://www.economia-sniim.gob.mx/nuevo/How can i read this Website and extract automatically theses XLS`s files?Attached my Workspace with Transformers: Creator and HTTPCaller.Thanks in Advanced,

When creating a lasd file with fme I get the following error although I have ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 installed"FME has checked out an Esri license. The product checked out is 'ArcInfo' LAS writer: ArcGIS 10.1 or newer is required to create an ArcGIS LAS Dataset. No ArcGIS LAS Dataset will be created. LAS files produced by the FME LAS writer have not been affected"Is there anyone who has defeated this error?

Hi!  In our client machine, we have upgraded ArcGIS Server to 10.5 (previously, it was 10.2.2). We also have a list of FME converters (created by ArcGIS Data Interoperability tool), FME converters are then saved as tools with ArcGIS Model Builder and a python script runs those converters every week. After the upgrade to 10.5, python script stopped working with various error messages:#! EXPLICIT_BOOKMARK_ORDER="false"#! TITIE=""#! LEGAL_TERMS_CONDITIONS=""#! MAX_LOG_FEATURES="200"There messages apper to come randomly, no logic that we could find.With the ArcGIS 10.5 version, the Data Interoperability version is also 10.5, but the FME version there is 2016.1.2 Python version is 2.7.12The thing is, that those models, if started manually inside ArcCatalog toolbox, work perfectly.As I understand, ArcGIS 10.5 needs FME 2016.1.3.Could it be a version conflict between ArcGIS 10.5 and FME version inside ArcGIS Data Interoperability 2016.1.2?Or python vers

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.

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.

Hi,I wrote a very long workspace and at some point I want to extract a substring of the filename using the python caller and have it as a new attribute in my workspace.Then I tried to write a workspace with only that instruction (see attached) but I'm still having the same error:Python Exception <KeyError>: 'fme_basename'Error executing string `fme_basename=FME_MacroValues['fme_basename']def thm(fme_basename):    return fme_basename[4:]'Factory proxy not initializedPythonFactory failed to process featurePythonFactory failed to process featuretest.fmwAny idea of what could be the problem?Thanks

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!

I am new to FME. I would like to convert the shape file / CAD file to file GDB / Personal GDB with Feature Dataset. how do I create Feature dataset using FME?

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!

Hi All,I can download a file using the ftpcaller, but cannot work out if possible to download when the file is on higher level directory ftp://172.30.227.2/../gisgroup/test.zipIs this possible?

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

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!

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

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!

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.

Hi, I created an FME Workspace to process one or more files using an FFS reader. If I run it on FME Workbench is accepts a wildcard for the SourceDataset_FFS parameter. Even if I call it from a WorkspaceRunner it runs fine. However, If I post it to FME Server, I get the following response (HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity): `_response_body' has value `valueD:\\Data\\FME\\FME%20Server\\Data\\LDR\\1_Secties\\*.ffsUnexpected value "D:\\Data\\FME\\FME%20Server\\Data\\LDR\\1_Secties\\*.ffs" for parameter "value," expected list'Request url: `myURL' has value `http://myfmeserver:8080/fmerest/v2/transformations/commands/submit/LDR/Stap_4_BerekenSectiesMetStationing.fmw?token=11111113289cef40e8bc340c3a63b3ff43405b00&detail;=low'Upload body: `UploadBody' has value `{ "FMEDirectives" : {}, "NMDirectives" : { "failureTopics" : [ ], "successTopics" : [ ] }, "TMDirectives" : { "rtc" : false, &q

Hey guys, I am trying to merge these two data sets and aggregate based on field names. Is there a way I could do this in one process without having to merge first then add a new reader and aggregate.

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

I want to create a User in FME Server that only has permissions to view the FME Server Dashboards. What permissions do I need to grant?

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.
