coordinates or measures are out of bounds when reprojecting features from EPSG: 4326 TO EPSG:3857 and creating a featureclass using fme desktop

Hello,I have several featureclasses to convert from EPSG:4326 TO EPSG:3847. Almost all of the input featureclasses got reprojected and got saved as a new output featureclass . But, for few, I receive the below error ,An error occurred while attempting to add a shape to a feature buffer. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220936'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The coordinates or measures are out of bounds.} I'm not sure what is the reason and how to resolve it. When tried using Arcgis pro it worked well but not in fme desktop. I used ESRI reprojector for this operation and even I tried using other reprojection transformers too and I get the same issue. Can any one provide some guidance or solution to this problem? Do I need to change any writer parameters ? Thanks.

Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE geodb) readers gives an error only on FME server. (The item does not have a definition.)

Hi, With FME I want to read a sde geodatabase. (feature class). For this I use the reader: “Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE geodb)”. Until recently this worked. With ArcGis Pro an Attribute rule has been created for 1 field and since then the reader no longer works if the workspace is on FME server. If the workspace is run in FME desktop (not FME server) the reader will still work properly. The message I get when the workspace is running on FME server is: An error occurred while attempting to open the table, feature class or relationship class 'My_TABLE'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147211773'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The item does not have a definition.} What could be the cause of this. FME server and FME Desktop are the same version. Greatings, Hans

Unable to run Esri Python 3 scripts on FME Server, even though all settings/compatibility appears to be correct

I am having issues running workspaces on FME Server that contain Python 3 (using Esri GIS Python module). This is the error I am getting: The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.6+', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server. If ArcGIS is not required by this workspace, then update Python Compatibility to a non-Esri-ArcGIS Python. Otherwise, please install the required ArcGIS product, or if ArcGIS Desktop already installed, update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'. To update this setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python Compatibility Environment Details: FME Desktop/Server 2021.2.5.0, ArcGIS Pro 2.8 and ArcMap 10.8.1 Per the compatibility page (https://community.safe.com/s/article/notes-on-fme-and-esri-versions-and-compatibility) ArcGIS Pro 2.8 is compatible with the version of FME I am using. In my workspace in FME Desktop, I set Python Compatibility to Esri A

Emailer broken in 2023.2?

I just upgraded my FME from 2021.2.4 to 2023.2 today. My emailer transformers are working fine on my workbench that were previously there. I went to add a new emailer to my upgraded workbench, but I cannot set the parameters, it's stuck at Generic SMTP and no connection settings are anywhere to be found, so no host/port/encryption settings. I removed all the emailers from my workbench, then removed the emailer transformer from my PC, then redownloaded it from FME hub, and still no dice. Any advice? Build is 23764

How to expose raster attribute values

I have a land cover raster with values that can be seen in ArcGIS Pro when looking at the raster's attribute table. When bringing this raster into FME using the "Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset)" Reader, the raster is brought in with no attribute values (see screenshot). Looking for help with bringing the raster into FME so that the attribute records will be populated with the raster's values shown in the ArcGIS attribute table? A smaller example raster that was clipped from the larger raster can be found at http://robot.konturlabs.com/temp/rasters_temp.gdb.zip Thanks!

Question of the Week: Can I recover an FME Server admin password if I forget it?

Question of the WeekThis question was asked in Live Chat this week, but to be fair it has come up several times from various users...Q) I've forgotten the password to the admin account on our FME Server. Is there a way to recover it? A) In short, no! But because the FME Server Support team has seen an increasing number of cases recently where a customer is unable to log in because of a forgotten password, I think it's worth outlining what the options are at this point, and how to avoid getting here in the first place!What's the Default Admin Password?Up until recent FMEs, the default administrator account used to be admin/admin. You can see why we felt that wasn't a good choice, because it's so easy to guess.So now - although the default is still admin/admin - you are forced to change it when logging in for the first time. The username remains admin, but the password becomes one of your own devising.I've Forgotten the Admin Password - Now What?So at a later date

Is there any FME Python API for 3D Reprojection?

I tried the FMEFeature.reproject(coordSys) method but it can do only 2D reprojection. I want to do reprojection using Python only not with any transformer like EsriReprojector or CSmap.

Flow Workspace App 'Browse Resources' is broken

Since updating our server to the newest version of FME Flow, the "Browse Resources" button is broken on workspace apps. Users can only upload their own temporary files. Uploading files is a functional workaround, but it is much slower than selecting a file from the network drive mounted on the server. I have verified that both my user account and the app have permission on the resource. For the app I have given List and View permissions to the folder. Any recommendations?

Citygml xsd fle as FME writer

Hi... I seek your assistance, sir/ma'am.I am currently trying to convert IFC to CityGML 3.0. In FME, only version CityGML 2.0 is available. I have found an example on GitHub that includes XSD files for each CityGML 3.0 feature (although it is still in draft phase). My question is, how do I incorporate these files into the FME write library? Your help is appreciated. Here is the GitHub link that contains the XSD files: https://github.com/tum-gis/ifc-to-citygml3/tree/master/xsds

Can we move the Temp folder location to a larger drive??

We are getting an error while running FFS writer: Failed to write to file 'C:\\Users\\use\\AppData\\Local\\Temp "Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file, and that sufficient disk space is available" This should be a simple merging of .SHP file (3221) into a single FeatureClass in a GDB. The Reader set to read .shp in Single Merged Feature Type. Got a GeometryValidator set to degenerate or Corrupt geometry "Edit". A Tester to get the read shapes and then the GDB Writer. We have and checked that the user is admin on the box and folders, so Think the issue room for the temp file. this is running on a Server where c:\\ only has OS on it and not much space left after that. So can we run in a way that clears the Temp location after so many record run, or can we move the Temp to a larger drive??

(FME 2020.0) HTTP Caller header does not work when giving it a FME Attribute

Hey, I am trying to create a workspace with a HTTP Caller, that needs a Bearer token. I use an earlier HTTP Caller to obtain the Bearer token with a login call. This is put into an attribute, which I then edit to add the phrase "bearer" infront of. After which I want to use this attribute as a header in the next HTTP Caller to do the call I'm interested it. This does not work, It gives me a error 401 Unauthorized, but if I copy and paste the bearer token into the header manually, it works. Anyone any idea why this happens?

INSPIRE validator problem

Hello, I have a problem with INSPIRE validator. I created a ETL schema in my FME Desktop environment according to INSPIRE theme of Protected Sites. So I've done it by applying all the technical guides from INSPIRE, and solved all my previous validation errors except this one: The dataset has 1 file(s) with errors for this assertion.XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': The file has 1 schema validation error(s).XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': 1:729: cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'gml:FeatureCollection'.When I use the Hale studio for transformation and get my GML, validation process goes smoothly, but with FME I have a problem. During my analysis I saw that in Hale Studio GML I have a longer <gml: FeatureCollection > tag in the xxsi:schemaLocation part. Here is the Hale xsi: schemaLocation: xsi:schemaLocation="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0 https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0/Prot

New warnings with FME 2023 cause translation error

Hello, I have just updated FME: 2022 -> 2023 (2023.0.2 (20230727 - Build 23338 - WIN64). Checking that this upgrade doesn't cause errors when running several important processes, I see this warning message in the log of one of them: POSTGRES Writer: Renamed user attribute 'attribute{0}.fme_data_type' to 'attribute{0}_fme_data_type' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and casePOSTGRES Writer: Renamed user attribute 'attribute{0}.name' to 'attribute{0}_name' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and case This message was absent with the previous version. The transformer concerned is a FeatureWriter whose parameters are shown below. It has two upstream branches: one for table schemas, the other for features. Adding all these entries to the log file slows down processing considerably and, when many features are processed, the file can even saturate the disk (up to 40GB!). I've temporarily deactivated t
