Integration

We are looking to set up an integration between Snowflake and ArcGIS Online and need some assistance with network security.  We've found that ArcGIS Online encrypts all traffic to and from through TLS 1.2 or later with AES256. We also found that Snowflake operates in the same manner.  This would mean all web traffic to and from both data sources and the FME Flow server would be secure through the above protocols, correct?

I thought I had a good idea to simplify our in-house processes by using FME Form startup python script to use subprocess.run to run external python files. That way we wouldn’t need to copy all the python code into the startup script and could easily make changes to it.Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work.subprocess.run FME Form runs the python script, but errors with “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘boto3’. The python script itself works fine when run manually. It also works when copied into the FME startup section (in other words, boto3 runs successfully in both).But for some reason, running subprocess.run within FME Form will not find boto3 in the external python file (even though it works if the python code in is the startup script section of FME Form).I hope that description made sense. Is there a parameter for subprocess.run that I’m missing? Is there another way to run an external python file from FME startup?Software and Sett

Since version 2025, we've had warning messages in the log file when we start the Workbench via batch call. When we start the Workbench manually, we don't see these warning messages. How can we disable them? Is there an FME parameter for this?Example Reader-Warning (see red columns):2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|Executing metadata query: 'SELECT f_table_name, f_geometry_column, coord_dimension, srid, type FROM geometry_columns WHERE f_table_schema = 'public' AND f_table_name = 'example_for_fme''2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|spatialColName: -> 'geom'2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|spatialColDim: -> '2'2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|spatialColSRID: -> '2056'2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|spatialColGeomType: -> 'POINT'2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|spatialColType: -> 12025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INFORM|authority query:2025-06-02 13:14:05| 5.0| 0.0|INF

I created models in QGIS Desktop. These models repair geometries of lines and polygons. Now I want to reduce the working steps, so that the data gets directly repaired in FME. Does anyone has experience in that?

Hi community! Can someone tell me how I can add a basemap in FME in the Graphics Viewer?(Stamen Maps, MapBox, Microsoft bings maps..)TNKX EVERYBODY!

I am having some issues converting a .NVD to .GDB to display in ArcGIS Pro. I can get the attributes all across but cannot view the geometry in FME Does anyone have any guidance on how to transform the geometry so it displays in a geodatabase in ArcGIS Pro?Thanks

Hi,I’m having trouble retrieving only the number of attachments associated with each Object ID for a layer published to ArcGIS Enterprise.Currently, the only way I’ve found is by expanding the full list of attachments, but this process becomes very slow when dealing with a large number of attachments.Is there a more efficient method to get just the count of attachments per Object ID without having to load the full attachment details?Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I want to publish feature services to arcgis enterprise portal not using ArcGIS Pro [Share ribbon] tools. Is FME an appropriate tool for this or is it better to use arcpy and the arcgis python API?The source feature classes are in SQL Server in Enterprise Geodatabase. The GDB is registered with Portal as a datastore. We do not want to copy the data to Portal (the resulting feature services should not be hosted).

I have installed a FME Form server 2025 on Windows Server 2022 and having troubles in getting OSGeo supplied plugin files for FDO / SDF to work. When running the job it fails with really no good error message in the job log, but when looking in the server’s event viewer this error occurs:Application: FMEEngine.exeFramework Version: v4.0.30319Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.Exception Info: exception code c06d007e, exception address 00007FFE2A20F47CStack:Faulting application name: FMEEngine.exe, version: 2025.7.52.25208, time stamp: 0x67c2777bFaulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.20348.3451, time stamp: 0x11df78b1Exception code: 0xc06d007eFault offset: 0x000000000003f47cFaulting process id: 0x1958Faulting application start time: 0x01dbc0def35d329dFaulting application path: D:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\FMEEngine.exeFaulting module path: C:\Wind

Hi All. I’m fairly new still to FME - so I hope this isn’t a silly question! Is it possible in FME to set user privileges (full editing rights) on feature classes, tables, etc in an ArcGIS sde? In ArcGIS Pro, typically I’d use the Change Privileges GP tool to do this, however one of the limitations is you can only seem to do it at the dataset level. I have several feature classes, and attachments which sit at the top level (not under a dataset), and I do not want to be assigning access manually.  Previously we have used a python script which grants privileges to a SDE user based on a layers listed in a csv file.  Just wondering if I could do this in FME? And if so, how?  Thanks,Leanne

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Up until 4/12, my workspace was writing to a SP list normally. It reads data from SQL and updates the SP list to match any changes. After someone changed the name of a SP column on the 12th, the workflow errored - but after the change was reverted, it still errored. The first line with the Python Exception was not in the original error when the column name was changed:Python Exception <TypeError>: unhashable type: 'dict'SHAREPOINT writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsFeatureJoiner_2_JOINED_-1_35_Player (RecorderFactory): SHAREPOINT writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsFirst photo is an overview of the workspace - everything runs fine up until the SharePoint Writer labeled "TOPS Project List". No problems with the SharePoint Reader. Second photo is settings for the Writer (which worked fine last week!). 

I'm migrating spatial data from AutoCAD (hosted in an Oracle database) to a SQL Server(ESRI geodatabase). I want to automatically extract domain values from Oracle lookup tables and populate them as domains in the SQL Server (EGDB) without using ESRI tools (like ArcGIS or ArcPy). Is there a way to automate this process, and what would be the recommended approach?

Is it possible to downgrade from Revit 2025 to Revit 2024 using FME Revit Writer?

Ok so I have read that the Waze JSON feed is not formed correctly which stops FME from natively reading the GeoJSON with a reader. You have to use a httpcaller with the Accept-Encoding heading parameter. So I got the translation started but I have hit a snag with the line geometry for the JAMS and IRREGULARLITIES feature categories. Here is our waze feed if anyone can get it to work properly with a reader instaed of a http caller.https://www.waze.com/partnerhub-api/waze-feed-access-token/8065da30-c46e-4dee-937a-68b8dac4d2a0?format=1 I have attached a sample json txt file of our feed. The issue im having is I have paired the line features down to {"x":-96.637385,"y":32.846625}{&

Hallo there,I have a big collection of 3D-lines and a big collection of 3D-Triangles/Surfaces that I need to intersect with each other (I only need to know whether there is an intersection not length, position or number of intersections). Performance is somewhat important due to the size of the dataset.I tried extruding the triangles to a short height to get a solid and this works but is super slow.  Surely there must be a better/more efficient way to calculate the intersection between a 3D-line and a 3D-triangle? Many thanks in advance. 

Hello everyone, I hope you are well, I am new to FME, I have a .dae file (Collada) that refers to a 3D model of a tree. I also have a layer of points with coordinates in shapefile format of an inventory of trees. Is it possible to integrate the 3D geometry of the .dae file in each of the points of my inventory?. to finally export it in a 3D viewable Kml file.

Hi,When launching a workbench using mostly SQLExecutors, with long sql statements, I can only see the first few lines for those statements on the Log file, for each SQLExecutor, but not the full SQL statement.Is this something that cannot be modified?I’d like to have all SQL lines that have been through the process.log fileworkbenchThanks,Juanma

Hello there, I’m currently working on a workflow for which I need a python package that is not preinstalled with FME.I tried installing the package according to this help page:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/Installing-Python-Packages.htm Unfortunately I got a dependency collision with other packages that are already installed.So I tried setting up a virtual environment but FME doesn't seem to support custom venvs.https://community.safe.com/transformers-9/how-to-integrate-a-custom-python-environment-27779 My question is:Without uninstalling or

Any way to write to different zoom levels on the same MBTile? If I change the mbtiles_zoom_level and send 2 rasters to the writer - it still writes 2 different tiles, and not within a single MBTile and different layers/overview. Is this not possible?

Hello all, I’m interested in seeing if FME can connect to ArcGIS Server Manager.I’d like to see that status of services (Started not started, instances running..), log messages to review issues, and possibly view the statistics reports (graphs of activity, views, response times etc)..Is this possible?

Hello everyone, I’m not sure, but I think I encountered a bug in FME 2025.0? Some days ago I had to change the web connections because I had to change the Google Authorisation accounts. I had to replace the Web Connections with the new IDs and the configuration looks fine. But when I try to add any web connection (be it in user parameters or in a transformer itself) it just doesn’t appear on the dropdown menu. Is this problem known? Has anyone experienced something similar?   

Hello all, We have previously showcased the FME-QGIS Connector Plugin. We have just released the QGIS-FME Connector Algorithm Plugin. What is the difference between the two? The first being a tool can just be opened and used to process some layers on the fly and load the results into QGIS back as a temporary or physical GeoJSON file, whereas the second is used a a QGIS provider or an algorithm; in QGIS terms it is a tool that processes the data.    Think of it as having the WorkspaceRunner inside QGIS.

Hello all,We have developed a QGIS Plug in to allow QGIS users to select a specific layer in their project, process it in FME then get it back as a temporary layer or a normal layer in QGIS. Trust me, we usually say that the sky is the limit, but really there is no limit in what you can process. The plugin is still marked as experimental and wish to get some feedback through our support channel. You need to use our FME Workspace template (not an fmwt file, just a sample) and try experimenting. The workspace was developed using FME2024.2.0 .Some would say that QGIS already has a great number of tools which I agree, however FME has a lot more to offer in other areas.Before downloading the plugin, make sure you allow viewing the experimental plugins in the plugin manager on QGIS: 

I’d like to use FME to query ArcGIS Enterprise map services (content) and, if a new service has been published that day, post a link to the new map service in Slack. Has anyone ever done this?
