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!

How to translate a field from Arabic to English and vice versa?, I wonder if there is a way or a command that may help in translation a value from one language to other? Best, Majdoleen

Is fmeobjects mandatory while using pythoncaller, or can i run python scripts from pythoncaller transformer without importing fmeobjects?

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 ? Thanks for a

Hello, I'm trying to set up a background map for Data Inspector and when I select a Background Format, the parameters button won't open. Has anyone else experienced this? I am using the ArcGIS Data Interop Extension (10.3.1) and not a full FME license. Is that the issue? Please help - would love to set a background map. Thanks! -Steve

When loading MasterMap can I choose identical schema?

I have the following python script as the Startup Python Script parameter: import arcpy out_folder_path = "C:/output" out_name = "fGDB.gdb" arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(out_folder_path, out_name) print("Job Finished") When running the translation, FME hangs indefinitely at this point : Using user-specified Python interpreter from C:\WINDOWS\system32\python27.dll Python version 2.7 successfully loaded FME_BEGIN_PYTHON: evaluating python script from string... If I remove the arcpy CreateFileGDB_management function but leave the arcpy import, everything is fine and I see the "Job Finished" string in the console. I tried just setting up arcpy.env.workspace instead of creating a new fgdb, but it hangs there as well. Anyone knows what's going on? Thanks a lot!

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

We have an architecture with FME ,ArcGIS and Oracle Sptial and have below issue. I have imported SRTM DEM into Oracle 11g using FME.The block size is set to 128X128.I am able to view the data in QGIS,Tatuk and play with it using GDAl command line.Unable to view the same in ArcMap. ArcCatalog shows me The raster and RDT tables.I get the error "The specified raster column does not exist", when try to drag and drop. I have verified that my DBTUNE parameters are set SDO_GEORASTER. Am I missing something?

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.

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

Using this REST-call http://fmeserver/fmerest/v2/transformations/commands/submit/Samples/austinDownload.fmw?detail=high With these parameters { "FMEDirectives": {}, "NMDirectives": { "failureTopics": [], "successTopics": [] }, "TMDirectives": { "rtc": false, "ttl": 120, "description": "This is my description", "priority": 5, "tag": "linux" }, "publishedParameters": [ { "name": "MAXY", "value": "42" }, { "name": "THEMES", "value": [ "airports", "cenart" ] } ], "subsection": "REST_SERVICE" } And adding the services to notify: "NMDirectives": { "successTopics": [ "MYTOPIC_OK" ], "failureTopics": [ "MYTOPIC_CALLED" ] }, and even trying to set it "manually" "FMEDirectives": { "TEXTLINE_1_DATASET": "!FME_AUTO_DIR_NAME!_nw\\\\textline.txt" }, It does not seem to be able to write a textfile to send to the notification. Any help from Safe or users regarding this? I would expect it to be able to send the text_line_data to the notification - however it seems the output-directory/file for the TEXT

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 Notificat

What is the minimum needed files to be able to run Arcpy on FME Server. It should be possible to only copy the related python-files and libraries and not the complete ESRI-stack. Also after looking at this: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Choosing-a-different-Python-Interpreter-installation it would be very nice to define the python-interpretor in the workspace ithself ie: FME_SERVER_PYTHON = c:\\ARcGISpython\\ to make it ieaser to move between python interpretors and from desktop to server

I'm trying to use the Data Loader for Google Maps Engine and I think there is a proxy issue. The connection to google worked from home but not from my office. The log shows this: Google Maps Engine Raster Reader: Requesting access token from OAuth2 endpoint Google Maps Engine Raster Reader: : Could not connect to server. Check that you are connected to the internet and that no firewall is blocking outbound connections. The error was 'HTTPSConnectionPool(host='accounts.google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /o/oauth2/token (Caused by <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond)' A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details and I get this dialog: Does anyone have any suggestion?

Welcome to the new FME Community! If you have any suggestions on how to improve the service or you have any issues, feel free to post here or you can email me directly.

The following is stated regarding the dgn attribute igds_element_visibility: This attribute has the value yes if the level the element is on has its display property set to “on”; otherwise, the value is no. My question is where is this display property? I can't find that anywhere! Also, is it possible to set the global display property of a dgn level in a writer, certainly the igds_element_visibility only appears in the reader. Many thanks Dan

Hello, i am using the rest interface to query the server about the job completed. So i am using the url : http://myserver/fmerest/jobs/completed.json?joblimit=0&token=blablablabla But the response doesn't contain the number of features output. Is there a way to get this information via the rest api ? Thanks, Julien

How can I send a query to a webservice from FME Workbench?

I have found the nice example of sending source data to fme server via post in this article: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Send-Source-Data-to-FME-Server-with-HTTP-POST I have tired I have tried to use the rest interface of FME server 2013 instead, but this does not work. Is this not supported, or am I missing something? Works: POST /fmejobsubmitter/<repository>/<workspace>?... Error: POST /fmerest/repositories/<repository>/<workspace>/run.json?...

Hi, I have FME 2014 SP1 (32 bits) and ArcGIS 10.2 (32 bits) installed on a Windows7 64 bits. I have the following code that I am trying to read into the Shutdown Python Script : import sys import arcpy output_location = "\\\\MYSERVER\\MYGDB.gdb" arcpy.CreateRelationshipClass_management(output_location+"\\DATASET\\LAYER", output_location+"\\TABLE", output_location+"\\DATASET\\rRelation", "SIMPLE", "TABLE", "LAYER", "NONE", "ONE_TO_MANY", "NONE", "FKEY", "PKEY") My problem is that I get this error : Python Exception <ImportError>: No module named arcpy I tried to add environment variables in PYTHON and Path as described here : http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/Samples_and_Demos/Using-a-Python-Startup-Shutdown-Script-to-Perform-Geoprocessing-with-Arcpy#heading_toc_j_5 I tried several solutions from here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701646/how-to-add-to-the-pythonpath-in-windows-7/4855685#4855685 I just can't find the way to make this working in FME. My script is working perfectly

I play around with FME Cloud. The workspace works. I would like to start this workspace with an example from the playground: http://playground.fmeserver.com/code-samples/general/populate-forms-dynamically But I have the following problem: CORS http://playground.fmeserver.com/getting-started/cross-domain-requests 1. Can I upload my .html pages somewher to FME Cloud and access to avoid CORS(If I understand it correct)? or 2. Can I change the settings to allow CORS with the FME Cloud? Thanks

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?

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.

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?
