Hey, anyone at Safe goning to build a GPT with FME knowledge?

Referring to this: https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts I'd love to see a GPT fed with FME's documentation - also the Python API It's be great to have FME's built in AI tools use something like that to give more FME specific answers? Just an idea

"Failed to retrieve feature types." - ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader

Attempting to read a layer via a Feature Service on Portal. As I am the owner I have the relevant permissions to access the layer, and it also has relevant editing permissions. This is confirmed by being able to edit the layer in Portal itself. However, when attempting to read in the layer I am met with the error in the question title. I can successfully connect to our portal, and even the Feature Service using the reader - it just fails when attempting to select the layer. See below:I should add that the log does not provide any useful information. Appreciate that this could be rooted in Portal configuration but any guidance much appreciated!

Can I import a custom python package from an azure repo into FME?

We have a custom python package project sitting in an azure repo, with build pipelines. This python package can be built on multiple python versions 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 with the help of the Hatch third party package. One of the pipelines produces an .whl artifact for the project, can this be used to install the python package locally on any machine, and simply point FME to this package? I don't really know all the intricacies associated with this approach, if it is possible can you please take me through the steps to achieve this or point me in the direction of a detailed article, any help will be appreciated

How to authenticate Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Map Service via SSO

Hi, I'm trying to create a connection with my enterprise ESRI account, but only have the option to enter a username and password, when I can only connect to this account via SSO. Any idea how to work around this? I have set up a web connection to my ESRI account but it doesn't automatically connect to the map service through this.

Web Traffic security between FME Flow and Snowflake

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?

Is it possible to truncate the table of a non-hosted Feature Service using FME Flow?

We're trying to create a near-live view of our data, differing from the majority of content on our ArcGIS Enterprise which comes via registered Feature Services (source - Oracle database). We're unable to update the production dataset more often than the current weekly schedule due to internal constraints. We're aware that FME can update a Hosted Feature Layer but can it update a non-hosted Feature Service? I.e. one which is being referenced from a database via an SDE?

Salesforce to Snowflake not working for me but is working for coworker running the same workspace. What could be the issue?

This workspace is meant to upload salesforce data into our Snowflake account. I created a connection With Snowflake and have my account name as the parameter. When I run the workspace, it gets all the way to the end with no errors but says that the transformation failed. My coworker runs the same workspace (connected to their own Snowflake account, both are under the same company mother account) and it works and uploads the data to Snowflake. I have not found any similar issues while searching online. What could be the issue?

How do I use HTTP Caller to fill in a form?

I have been googling/trying to read about it but I dont seem to understand it too well. I dunno if I am trying to do something I cant. I am trying to use the UK Gov website (https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-council-tax-band/search) to search for council tax bands with a list of post codes. But the box to search the postcode sends the request and it appears to encrypt the postcode in the URL. Would it be possible to make it fill in this box and hit search? Appreciate any help as I am completely out of the loop here, never used the HTTP part of FME much. Cheers Also apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place!

SharePoint Online List Writer error - Python Exception <TypeError>: unhashable type: 'dict'

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.

Custom FME Transformer implemented in Java

Hello everyone, I am trying to write a custom FME transformer using the FME Plug-in SDK with Java. I installed the FME Plug-in SDK and successfully followed the steps of the Java tutorial document (after installing the SDK, the tutorial document is located at '<FME>\pluginbuilder\samples\doc\FMEPlugInSDK_Java.pdf'; I attached it to this posting; especially section 4 "Installing and Testing a Transformer" is relevant to my question; ). In section 4 of this document the custom transfomer defined in file 'CenterOfMassCalculator_Java.fmx' is installedafter installing, the FME workspace '..\java\test\function_test.fmw' is run which contains the 'CenterOfMassCalculator_Java' transformer as second element in the translation flow Eventually, running 'function_test.fmw' in the FME workbench results in that the method 'execute(.)' of the Java class '<FME>\pluginbuilder\samples\java\com\mycompany\myfunction\center.java' is executed.

(Integer) values of constants in Python API FME

Today I was helping one of the users in my organisation with some code in a PythonCaller. The value returned by fmeobjects.FMEFeature.getAttributeType — Python FME API FME 2023.0 b23309 documentation (safe.com) is an integer. The list of possible values is defined by the list of constants here Features — Python FME API FME 2023.0 b23309 documentation (safe.com) What I am missing is which constant represents which integer value. Are these available somewhere? This would have been helpful understanding me and my user what was happening.

ArcGIS portal feature service reader - type 4, Number: 1, Message: Failed to get auth...error

I've followed this article https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-create-an-FME-Web-Connection-for-Esri-ArcGIS-Portal-Feature-Service-OAuth-2-0Initially I was able to read features. I've come back into the workspace after a week and I'm getting this error Type: 4, Number: 1, Message: Failed to get authorization query string.Updating access token for 'WebServiceSanDiego'JSON Error: refresh_token expiredUnable to update access token for 'WebServiceSanDiego'I've re-tested by webservice by going to preferences, manage service and test (requires you to login), but it's still not working. I would assume I'd only have to set this up once and it would refresh itself going forward, or is this something configuration wise on the portal end? Note, this is something setup for us to connect to by a customer. Is there a more ideal suggestion for ongoing integration? Read/Write

How do I write a json file for each time window when working with data stream?

I want to write a different json file for every time window defined in my TimeWindower.To make things simple I'm using the window number as the window ID attribute (when I manage to make it work like this I'll use the window start time).I want to write the data in each time window into a different (json) file and to name them I want to use the window id attribute together with some other string.Right now the first file (string_0) is output as expected but the workspace will only output 2 json files for a total of 4 time windows (I used a terminator after the 4th time window) and the second one is not properly closed.Any idea of what am I doing wrong?

How can I get the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader to read the GlobalID without reformatting or changing the case of the GlobalID values?

In a Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service that we are processing some of the GlobalID's are in lower case without the culry brackets. When FME reads these GlobalID's the case is being changed and brackets are added. Hence the GlobalID "26565f7e-615f-43a6-8333-e156adc7cb46" is read by FME as "{26565F7E-615F-43A6-8333-E156ADC7CB46}". One problem comes about when FME can't update this feature using the GlobalID because FME as reformatted the GlobalID. This problem is verified by using FME to change the case of the GlobalID to lower case and removing the curly brackets which then allows the feature update to occur. My question is, how can I get the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader to read the GlobalID's without reformatting?

Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer, (Features Per Request parameter) yields to inconsistent INSERT behavior

I'm trying to bulk insert features (Append) data (basically merge databases content) to existing destination Feature Service using the FME_ArcGIS_Portal web authentication for web service. I noticed that the Features Per request parameter has an odd behavior, and I can't seem to control/change that physically on ArcGIS Enterprise side. In the snapshot, if I leave the default to 1000, or reduce to 500 features per request it gives two different errors.ERROR |ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error.

502 response FME Flow webhook

Hi FME community, I am trying to start a job on FME Flow from another application by making use of a webhook and a token. The trigger results in succesfully starting a job on FME Flow, but the response is most of the time the following:502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.It looks like this only happens when the job takes longer than 2 minutes. Does anyone have an idea where the 502 response comes from? This indicates an error while in fact the job is started as expected. Version 2022.2Build 22765 - win64

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.

Error publishing a SLPK on ArcGIS Portal with ArcGISOnlineConnector. Publishing fails.

Hi there,I'm trying to Update a Scene Layer in ArcGIS Portal for Enterprise.
