Integration

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

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

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?...

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?  Regards, Martin  Mar 4, 2014 2:23:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup SEVERE: Servlet /fmerest threw load() exception java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name clients.fmerest.fmerest, locale en_US at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(Unknown Source) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(Unknown Source) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(Unknown Source) at COM.safe.utility.i18n.FMEPropertyResourceBundle.init(FMEPropertyResourceBundle.java:45) at COM.safe.utility.i18n.FMEResourceManager.getResourceBundle(FMEResourceManager.java:65) at COM.safe.ut

Hi! After upgrading to FME 2014 (build 14230) the drag-and-drop feature from ArcGIS desktop has ceased functioning. I'd like other users to confirm this. I spoke today with FME support in Sweden who acknowledged the error.  Previously, it was possible to drag an ArcGIS Desktop layer from the AG TOC into the FME main window. This was tremendously useful, particularly when reading sde data, because the entire database connection was included in the drop. You can still setup an sde reader, but will have to enter server name, user credentials and so on.  Was this a deliberate decision, or some syntax change on either side thas has stopped the drag-and-drop functionality?  Or maybe the new workbench GUI library? (this is a 32bit environment).    I have an FME 2013 sp4 in parallell, and the drag-and-drop works there

HI,   I have     machine A : webservices/core running    machine B : Engine running  The services on both machine are running under the same domain account. Now, the machine A starts fine, but the FME engine on machine B doesn't start ( it would start and stop again ) .      Basically, i am not able to connect the FME engines to core.  -varun

I upgraded FME Desktop from 2011sp4 to 2014.  When I choose an Esri MDB as a reader the geodb_subtype_name is not found. I have checked the Additional Attrubutes but its not in the list. However it shows the geodb_subtype_name data when I look at it in the Data Inspector.  Same machine I've been using for over 2 years with Esri Runtime and FME Desktop2011.  Any thoughts  Chris 

Hello,   I have used the sample REST C# code supplied by Safe to create a simple application. The sample code provided can be located here:   http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/REST/FMEServerRestAPIdemo.cs   We have two FME Servers here, one in a test environment, and another for production.   I have written my code against the test server, which uses standard security, using user and password managed by FME Server. Everything works fine.   However, when I use my code against the second server, which is secured by the Active Directory, I always get error 401, access denied.   Is there anyone out there that has used the REST API with Active Directory security?  Here is an example of the code I use to fetch a token:           private string GetFmeServerToken()         {             string fmeTokenUrl = this.Serveur + "/fmetoken/service/generate";               NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();               parameters["

Hi Im looking for a way to automatically post a new subscription, preferably in a python startup script. Is it possible to use the REST API for this task?   

Guys,  This question may be supid, but I'm trying to get values of attribute within a python script.   Basicly, I've written the following code :   def processFeature(feature):     txt = feature.getAttribute('text_log')     pass   And I want to obtain the variable "txt" to used it later on (... log.write(txt) ...)    How do I access to the function ?    Any suggestions ?    Thx    regis         

Is it possible to load MasterMap COU data using FME into ArcSDE?  Has anyone created a model for this? I seem to have a lot of probems with Productivity Suite these days!   Any links to existing FME workspaces used by others?  Regards  Kam
