Save binary formats

When using HTTPCaller you can get a binary respons, for instance a PDF with _headers{13}.value (string): application/pdf . If you "Save Response Body To : FILE" the file gets created ok. However if you choose Save Response Body to: Attribute - and then writes this data with a AttributeFileWriter or a textfilewriter it does not get saved as PDF. Is there a "Generic Binary writer" that writes in similar way as the HTTPCaller does depending on the application/pdf type?

FMEObject how to read multiple shape and writer to multiple database

Just as in FME workbench, read multiple *.shp and automatic write into multiple database with dynamic schema. It is easy in workbench. Now I want to do the process in FMEObject. With the code below, open the source and destin dialog. And what strange is that, this works successfully for monthes. Recently, this code does not work as I expect, and I can not remember which change I have made.

Get coordinate system at first run

Hi everybody,   I have a weird problem with my reader.   My reader was written in C++ and requires a coordinate system for the reading procedure. So, the FME user clicks "Add Reader", selects my reader as format and a coordinate system (for example EPSG:3493). Afterwards he chooses all remaining parameters and clicks "Ok". The translation process starts automatically.  Next, my reader`s open() method starts and fetches all parameters. I use the keyword "_COORDINATE_SYSTEM" to receive the entered coordinate system.    gMappingFile->fetchWithPrefix(readerKeyword_.c_str(), readerTypeName_.c_str(), "_COORDINATE_SYSTEM", outputString) My problem: This line only works, when the reader is already added to user`s workspace and the user click on the button "Run or Resume translation of the workspace" (green play button at toolbar). It does not work at the first translation, when the user clicks "Ok" on the "Add Reader" dialog (again, the translation start automatically after the dialog is cl

inserting rows into SQL SDE table

Read in FME TEMP variable

Hi,   I am looking for a way to obtain the FME TEMP directory. As far as I know, FME defines the TEMP directory based on 4 characteristics [1]. My question is: Using a C++ reader, can I get the path currently used as temp directory?  Something similar to:  fmeSession_->fmeHome() returns the home directory of the FME ? returns the TEMP directory of the FME.   Of course, I could try to read in the TEMP environment variable by myself (stored in Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables). But I think using FME for this would be a better solution.   Thanks ben  [1] FME TEMP variable

Reader needs access to web service connection

Hi,  I have added my web service to FME: FME Workbench -> Tools -> FME Options -> Web Service Connections -> Web Services... I have also declared two parameters for the web services (username+password)  Furthermore, my reader uses the GUI type NAMED_CONNECTION [1], so users can set their username and password for my web service. My question is: How can my reader access these values/parameters?  During the open method, my reader parses the mapping file, but it only includes the chosen "Connection Name" and not the password or username.   The values/parameters are stored in FME, I verified that using again: FME Workbench -> Tools -> FME Options -> Web Service Connections  I thought, maybe FME provides some kind of service returning the values/parameters identified by the connection name and web service. Does such a service exist? Or is there another way to access the values/parameters from a given connection name?  My reader is written in C++  Thank you ver

Using a URL as publish parameter

Hi folks,  I have implemented a workbench where a published parameter represents a URL. In FME Desktop and when it is published as a service on FME Server it works ok. The service can be used without problems with a normal string as parameter value and when is used a string encoded as URL.  The problem is that an other workbench (very similiar to the first one in functionality) which works ok in FME Desktop but not when it is published on FME Server and used as a service. It works ok when a string encoded as URL is used as service parameter value, but not when the value is a normal string. (For example, if you use the URL that FME Server UI generate using the values inserted in the form, the service works ok. But if special characters ("/,"+"...) are not encoded in parameter value the service does not work.  In both workbench the parameter definition is the same and along the process the value of the parameter is the same.  Thanks!

GeoPackage writing and ESRI support of *.gpkg ?

Hello  I use FME 2015.1.1 to create a GeoPackage. I write the data with dynamic settings and the result seems OK, if I use a SQLite tool to inspect the *.gpkg file.  Now when I want to open it in ArcGIS 10.2.2 I first need to run a special ESRI extension function from SQLite3 command line in order to be able to acces it from ArcMap. OK so far, but a bit of unwanted fiddling i.m.h.o.  Then I can view the vector data in ArcMap fairly well. Good so far.  Now problems start when I want to view tables without geometry. I cannot do that from ArcMap and when I use ArcCatalog it behaves as if tables are empty. I can see the contents of these tables in SQLite tools however.  Has anyone out there tried similar things or collected some experience with GeoPackage format ? Will this improve in ArcGIS 10.3 ? Can I change something in FME writing in order to enable alphanumeric tables ?  My impression is, that despite official claims by ESRI the support for GeoPackage is a bit limited so far ?  Thank

FME server write in folder - data download

Hi guys,  I'm working with FME desktop and server 2014.   Desktop : In order to write an excel file with the Sheet Order correctly set up (the "sheet order" Format Paramters doesn't work correctly), the only solution I found was to : 1/ Copy a template xls file in the destination (with a filecopy transformer) 2/ Re-write this file with an XLS writer.  That works fine !   Server : Once this workspace uploaded, I'm face the following problem (in data download mode) : 1/ The copied file end up necessarily in a folder (either in a folder named "dataset" or in a folder which corresponds to the name given in the workspace parameters) - There is no way to put it just at the root of the zip file. 2/ The xls file writen can only be placed at the root of the zip. I can not specify a folder.  ?Then there is no possibility to do the re-writing operation.   Home i'm clear enough. Any tipps ?   CU

WFS Data Interoperability in ArcMap

Comparing the same output data in FME and ArcMap, with the same WFS Parameters Properties set up on both connections, same applic. schema, I am getting different results for some attributes. I.e in ArcMap I don't get values of some attributes but rather NULL. Likely not reading these values and not recognizing gml structure correctly.

cleaning cad data by concentration of objects

Dear FME users,   I have a task to upload survey areas contours for different years from dwg into polygon shape format. And I am using FME for automatic transformation of data into gdb. Sometimes my .dwg contain unnecessary data and my idea is to leave only those parts of dwg that has the majority of objects in it (let's say it's ok if I neglect 10% of data as I need just outlines of survey areas). To be more clear, I attach a picture of original data in dwg and purple margin of what I want to receive as output. Any ideas how I can achieve that? I have a few thoughts, please share your views on that, thanks a lot in advance. kkt

How do you specify a Notification Writer when publishing an FME workspace via the FME REST API?

My workspace is run as a result of a directory watcher publication event. The event helpfully passes the JSON message about the location of the new file. I have the DirectoryWatcher reader in my workspace to read the JSON message.  When I publish to our FME Server 2014 using the wizard, I am able to specify which reader should be used to read in the notification event: this is on the Register Services screen, on the Notification Service line, clicking Edit..., there I can specify the Notification Reader. Similarly, I can specify the writer that will be used for the publish event (i.e. the Notification Writer).  In order to do automated deployment, I am using the FME Server REST API (v2). I am able to publish a workspace sucessfully using the API, as well as create topics and manage subscriptions. However, I cannot find a way of specifying which reader/writer should be used for receiving/sending the notification event message.  Is it possible to specify the Notification Reader or Notifi
