FME Issue in Smallworld 5.3.2 with FME 2022

I have installed Smallworld version 5.3.2 with FME 2022. Currently, there is an issue when trying to view the tables after adding a reader or writer:In the Smallworld Explorer application, I added collection X in the Exporter section and collection Y in the Importer section.When I insert an FME Reader or FME Writer, in FME, when I request to display the collections, FME always shows the collections added in the Exporter section for both the reader and writer.Is this a bug, or is there something else I need to configure?

Cartegraph Connector - seeking help getting connected

Hello! I’m trying to use the Cartegraph Connector and could use a hand. In the past year or so, I believe the API URLs have been updated compared to when this custom transformer was originally made. Now, I am having trouble with the very first step which is authenticating. I think I’m using the wrong URL to have my username and password accepted by the API. Also, this custom transformer was created in 2022 and may not work any longer for various reasons due to versions.As a test, using Postman, I have tested some API URLs and can successfully connect and perform a GET command and get back data. This shows that I’m close.. something works in Postman - so we’re on the right track.. now to get FME to connect.Because this is a work matter, I cannot share a great deal of information openly here. If anybody has a clue about getting connected to Cartegraph as it’s configured today (2024/2025) that would be awesome. Thanks and take careJim

Passing bounding box coords as parameter to API call

Hi I’m calling an Ordnance Survey API using a bounding box of a 25km grid square to just get the building outline features I need.  I’m doing a spatial filter and buffer then to further reduce the number of features I want.  I’m doing this manually i.e. putting the new bounding box values into the API call parameters then running the workbench again.  I want to be able to do this dynamically via a parameter, from a list of bounding box coordinates from another file, so I can effectively loop through and spit out out a file for each grid square (I’ll append these back together later).Is this possible?  Any help gratefully received.

Gx:AnimatedUpdate in kml

Can someone please sanity check me.The example in the google developers for animated updates is https://developers.google.com/static/kml/documentation/kmlfiles/animatedupdate_example.kmland it works fine.However the same code embedded in a kml generated by the FME KML writer does not work.As far as I can tell, the issue is with the name space declaration.the example uses <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"  xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"> whereas the FME kml writer produces<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> Am I going crazy or does changing the declaration break the animation for anyone else?

python caller save problem

Sometimes and non-reproducible changes I have done in source code are not saved.Mostly it works but in estimated 5% my changes are lost.If I change text I always type ctrl-s, mostly two or three times. If the changes are big I type spaces and save again. I reenter the source code and look for my changes.BUT whatever I do, sometimes FME "forgets" my changes, today it forgot it, even when I ran the translation (in the control before my changes were made).Has anybody else such problems? Is there a "correct" way to save the sources or a workaround for it?I actually use the version 2016.0 (in former versions the problem was the same)Hope, anybody can help

Question about manipulating Utility Network geometry

Hey all, I’m wanting to snap existing meter points in a Water Utility Network, to field-verified points collected in the field by a contractor. Currently, I am just using an anchor snapper to snap the points, however… the service lines attached to them are not moving, as I believe an “edit” has to be done on the lines to get the network topology to stay intact.  I have tried using the anchor snapper on the lines to snap the endpoint to the meter location… but I am not getting the same results I am getting with the points. Is there something I am missing/a better way to ensure the line attached to the meter also moves its endpoint to the new meter location?  CS is State Plane, 100 feet is the setting I am using for now. The endpoint of the service line is coincident with the meter location, if that information helps at all.

Has anyone had experience populating a data lineage system with information from workspaces in FME Server?

I am researching options for a GIS data catalog and data lineage system. There are some GIS data catalog tools out there (Ex. Voyager) but they lack a method to store the ETL lineage information. For example, I'd want to map that the Streets feature class in my Oracle geodatabase is sync'd to an AGOL feature layer named "City Streets" every night at 3AM.  Some of the data lineage tools on the market can connect to ETL applications (Informatica, Azure Data Factory, etc.) and scan them to get source/target information from all the tasks configured in the system. I haven't seen Safe/FME show up as being supported by any of these products. So I'm curious if anyone's come across a product that can scan for this stuff. Alternatively there's always manually populating these systems by reviewing all the FME Server job logs and investigating source/targets in the workspaces.

Anyone ever connected with Veoci? (HTTPCaller and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)

Postman connects easily to Veoci (emergency management software) via a two-step process:1) Get a private token;2) Submit query using the private token. These is done in two separate steps:Step 1 (https) returns five new or updated Veoci cookies in the headers, two of which are APIALB and APIALBCORS.  Their values are identicalStep 2 (https) returns two more new or updated Veoci cookies: APIWALB and APIWALBCORS.  These two values are identical (to each other).These four cookies appear to be related to Amazon.I want FME to combine the two steps into one (and let me store the results in a relational database).Step 1 works fine in FME.  In fact, the pattern of packets matches exactly.Step 2 unfortunately returns the message “Authsession not found in cookie” no matter what I try.  I know conversation contains a permanent redirect (looks like Amazon) and I think this is the problem.Even running Step 2 alone in FME always fails.I’ve tried configuring the HTTPCaller in Step 1 and the HTTPCalle

Using AutodeskDocsConnector in Flow

Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to get a workspace on FME Flow that makes use of the AutodeskDocsConnector. This single transformer would make my worksapace a lot smaller and easier to manage. Problem is that it just won’t work FME Flow! On Form it works without a hitch. On Flow accessing the same project and folder on Autodesk Construction Cloud also works when using the HTTPCaller. It’s only the AutodeskDocsConnector on Flow combo that seems to be failing me. This is the error message I get on Flow:  Anyone have experience with this or know how to help me out on this one?

Esri portal Feature Service Upsert

Hi all,I’m working with a Feature Service containing approximately 1,000,000 sensors stored in a spatiotemporal big data store. I need to update 10,000 of these sensors based on their unique string ID, like sensors-0x21222.Currently, I'm using the FeatureWriter for the 'Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service' with the 'Use Global IDs' option enabled and 'Upsert' set as the 'Feature Operation' in the Feature Type. However, 'Upsert' requires a global ID.This approach feels very constrained, as it requires importing all 1 million records, merging them, and finding the global ID for each update.Is there a way to update a Feature Service using a primary key or unique field (such as upserting with a where clause) rather than relying on global IDs? This current method doesn’t seem ETL-friendly, as it requires importing parts of the dataset just to make updates.Thanks in advance for any guidance!  Edit:Maybe I don't understand it. But for every featureservice/layer/featuretype I need to add, to fi

Created my first ever workbench, but it seems very redundant, tried recreating it in a more streamlined way, but do not know what is best practice

Hi everyone,I am brand new to FME and created my first workbench. In a nut shell it does this:Brings in 6 different enterprise geodatabase feature classes using 6 ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) readers Each reader is connected to a tester to only select ‘active’ values in a status field Because I selected ‘resolve domains’ in the reader, an additional field for every field that had a domain was created. It was suffixed with “_resolved”, so I used 6 bulk attribute renamer transformers to rename the fields without the ‘_resolved” I then did 6 attribute removers and removed any fields I did not need when it came to exporting (note, many of the fields between each feature class were the same, but there were some differences) Finally, I used 6 different feature writers to export each feature class into a single geodatabaseAs you can see, I repeated the process 6 different times for every reader/feature class that I had. I was thinking to myself while doing this, ‘this cannot be the right w
