I am Featurejoining the output from a change detector that compares an original layer from ArcGIS Online to a revised layer from my Geodatabase. Note: The AGOL layer was originally published from ArcGIS Pro from the coordinate system WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) . The Featurejoiner transformer rejects the features saying: “Coordinate system does not match first feature's coordinate system” Similar to the issue as seen in https://community.safe.com/topic/show?tid=20659&fid=8 When I inspect the original and revised features, my features on AGOL have “SPHERICAL_MERCATOR” and my revised features have “SPHERICAL_MERCATOR_0” In my workspace, my revised features are reprojected with ESRIReporojector to WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere before entering the change detector. They then show a Coord system of “SPHERICAL_MERCATOR_0”. FYI The ESRIProjector does display a warning saying “2.1_EsriReprojector: Ignoring input feature coordinate system `_MGA2020-54_FME_0'. This warning w

Hi - I could use a hand. We are working with FME Flow 2024.1.1 with work spaces being generated in FME Desktop 2024.1.1. The data download service is working fine, but we would like to be able to do one or two things: Is it possible to just download a .docx or xslx file without it being zipped? It is one other step that our end users don’t need. If not, is it possible to name the zip file according to report for the area we are working in, something like: BostonStreets_20250203.zip. An example of the output we are seeing, and would like to change, is attached. We can name the files within the zip file whatever we want, no problem. Any help or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

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?

Hello, I have a question regarding the implementation of dynamic attributes. I created a flow to turn a single attribute into text for the actual values of the column and row of an attribute; Following the pattern below: Original Attribute Goal After achieving this, the biggest problem is that these 'dynamic' name attributes come as unexposed attributes. Unexposed Attributes I could simply place an AttributeExposer and resolve this case, but the problem is that the flow will run in several different scenarios, and the values (A, B, C, F) will never be the same; they can vary to anything (G, H, T, Z, B, A, or K, LL, BN, XS, D). Therefore, I need the exposer to work automatically as well, but I couldn't make it receive @value(list_name); it literally exposes the value '@value(list_name)' as if it were an attribute with the name of the code. Thank you for your assistance! Best regards,

I am trying to concatenate 6-7 fields to create single field with spaces in-between different field values to create a address like string, no commas needed. Can I do it in text editor? Field1 Field2 Field3 original: 123 ABC Street Filed Combined Target: 123 ABC Street

Workspace I’m uploading from FME Form (2024.0.1.0) returns this error. Failed to update definition of database type 'Microsoft SQL Server (JDBC)' - FME Flow encountered an error and reported the following message.Database type Microsoft SQL Server (JDBC) cannot be edited.Request to http://XXXXXXXXX/fmeapiv4/databasetypes/Microsoft SQL Server (JDBC) returned status code 422. Is a workspace that has SQL Executors pointing to a SQL Server database and outputs results to a XLSX file on my laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

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}{"x":-96.637275,"y":32.846417}{"x":-96.636865,"y":32.846035}{"x":-96.636524,"y":32.845655}{"x":-96.636179,"y":32.845214}{"x":-96.635502,"y":32.843905}{"x":-96.635225,"y":32.843463} I need to convert that to a line either by creating vertices or something. Im sorry this is so disjunct. My brain is pudding.

I have a JSON file from waze that I am trying to read. I am using the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) reader. There are three schema; alerts, irregularities and jams I can read alerts okay with this query json["alerts"][*] Flatten Nested JSON values into Attributes = Yes Read Entire Feature as JSON Fragment = No which reads 433 alerts, each with a location.x and location.y which allows me to built a point object (Vertex) for each feature. But I am struggling with the irregularities and jams. The irregularities have a line object which obviously does not convert into two neat columns. How do I read the line object? I have attached the json file here

Hi FME community, I’ve recently been asked if FME Flow supports access via the Microsoft Entra application proxy. Has anyone configured this and can confirm it is supported? I believe it’s very similar to the setup explained in the documentation below, but I haven’t been able to find any documentation referencing the Microsoft Entra application proxy. https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407571916173-Use-a-Reverse-Proxy-with-FME-Server https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407364847885-Using-IIS-and-ARR-as-a-Reverse-Proxy-in-FME-Flow Thanks!

*Aka Data Virtualization Transformers, but with the french touch Since I’ve been publishing a bunch of Data Virtualization custom transformers lately, I figured it was time to make a post about them—what they do and how to use them. FME Flow’s recent update introduced a cool new feature: Data Virtualization. https://community.safe.com/product-updates/introducing-fme-data-virtualization-38066?tid=38066&postid=86#post86 This feature lets you build your own APIs using FME workbenches. To make that work, your features need to include certain attributes required by the Data Virtualization writer, such as: response.status_code response.body.content response.body.content_type response.body.content_file_path response.headers{}.name response.headers{}.value Data Virtualization Writer After manually setting these with an AttributeCreator a few times, I thought: why not create a tool to make this easier? So I made the DataVirtualizationResponseSetter ! DataVirtualizationResponseSetter This transf

Hi, We are trying to use a FileCopy Transformer to transfer files from one location to our server (synology) / other computers (other computer). If we do it in Ubuntu GUI / SystemCaller command it works perfectly. But the file copy transformer always give error messages as we don’t have sufficient permission. Even if I put our NAS credential in the transformer (with a featureWriter), it give the error messages. The files are created in the server but there’s no content inside. Does somones already experienced it ? Thank’s Sam

This job works fine in FME Workbench 2024.2. But in FME flow, when I try to run the workspace, it’s trying to create a folder instead of a .xml file. See screenshots

We have an FME Flow Hosted instance running and I need to connect to an MS SQL Server. I have seen from the Reader/Writer documentation that MS SQL is not supported from FME Flow Hosted. Does anyone have a suggestion how we could still connect to MS SQL? The question is very relevant to us, since we plan to migrate to an FME Flow that will also run from an Linux-instance, which seems to be the cause why it isn’t possible to connect to MS SQL. N.B. Our current FME version is 2024.0.3.

If you have an existing automation and need to make a change, you make your changes and publish \\ overwrite in FME Forms. Once you go to the automation and stop it, all parameters are reset to defaults. This happens even to workspaces that were not updated. This has happened the last 2 or 3 releases, currently we are on FME Flow 2023.1 Build 23619 - win64

Hello everyone, At our organization we work on a virtual machine. When you log on into a virtual machine, you share the virtual machine with other users. Since a few weeks we encounter sometimes black screens when trying to use FME form 2023 or FME form 2024. I googled and the problem is quite similar to Known Issue: FME Workbench 2023 Opens as a Blank Window on a Virtual Machine – FME Support Center, instead it's a black screen. The article mentions about OpenGL versions, however the specs for all our virtual machines should be the same, so I think the cause is different. When you encounter the black screen, you can only hover over the black screen and can't do much else. When you close FME Form and try to open a new FME Form sesssion, you still get a black screen. The only workaround is to log off and log into a new virtual machine where this problem doesn't occur. We already did some troubleshooting and we know one thing for sure It's possible that fme form 2023/2024 initially worke

Hi, I am using the attribute creator to populate a new field. I want to fill in the blank rows with the previous master property number from the master prop no field. I have enabled the adjacent features but no matter what I try it still only populates just the 1 record after a value and not all the blanks. I thought I would only need 1 based on what I’ve found on the forums. What am I doing wrong here? I also tried to do that same thing via the attribute manager but get the same result. The end result would also have row 3 (FME row id not the xlsx one) with ‘932590’ and row 6 with ‘933123’ and rows 9-11 with ‘933796’ etc with the number of blank rows varying from 1 to potentially hundreds. The settings I have for the transformers are below. I am using FME 2022.2. Thank you! Belinda

Hello, I have recently upgraded from fme flow 2024 to 2025.0.1. - (still using fme form 2024 for now)(EDIT: I have since aligned the versions between form and flow, and still getting the same error.) I have a workbench which uses the SharePoint online connector transformer I am currently using python version 3.12+. I can run this workbench without any errors on fme form 2024, but when uploaded to fme flow 2025 I am getting the following issue: Any tips on how to resolve this? Thanks.
