I would like to insert new z values in a polyline feature using the surfacedraper while maintaning the existing z values. A feature can have mutiple vertices with and without z values or a combination.

I have recently installed FME Desktop 2022.0 (Database edition – Build 22337 – WIN64) and want to migrate old workspaces to this latest version. I have a workspace that was written and runs in FME Desktop 2019.0 (Database edition). It reads in about 120,000 records via SQL Creator (non-spatial Microsoft SQL data format), does some transformations, and writes to a CSV file. It works perfectly in FME Desktop 2019.0. However, when I open and run the same workspace in FME Desktop 2022.0 it is not working correctly. I have tried this on Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows Server 2012 R2. I have tried with Feature Cache on and off. I have tried running as a batch process. I have tried running the workspace in 2022.0 unchanged (as a 2019.0 workspace). I have tried running the workspace in 2022.0 unchanged (as a 2022.0 workspace). I have tried running in 2022.0 with transformers upgraded to the latest 2022.0 versions. In all cases after every 10,000 records, several records are corrupted on the

Hi,I have a workspace where I use the oracle database connections as a variable. This works fine. When a runs the workspace a published parameter determines which connection is used. But when I publish this on fme server. I get an authorisation failure: FME Server error: `Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions for connection: **@**. Please see: http://fme.ly/zn8' Connections in fme server are available as in the variable.

Hello, I use a Reader to list files inside a directory, connected to a FeatureReader to read the features. Currently, all features of all files are merged. ie. if I have 100 files with 100 features each, the output of FeatureReader will be 10.000 features. Is it possible to iterate incrementally over each file, ie. to execute a pipeline independently for each input file, so that the FeatureReader will be executed 100 times with 100 output features ? Thanks!

Hello, Texture UV coordinates are not set in geometry if no texture is provided to AppearanceSetter. My use case is that texture is provided later in the pipeline (at render time). Is that a bug? Thanks.

hi,I have a number of lidar files in LAS format. I’m using reading las, then combining them and tiling them, then writing zlas. Everything is OK except that I get a message that there is a value-converting from rel64 to int32. Is-it possible to get the results las files in rel64.

Hi new at this...I am trying to separate some data from a CSV separated by a comma and then merge it back into one feature, I can't work out how to merge the 4 results I get from each entry.

Hi,I have some FME workspaces, that investigate the recent FME log files from previous translations. This is done to uncover any problems in a rational way.I want to extract the statistics at the bottom, but the "|STATS |" string is used extensively thru-out the log file, and would completely swamp the output if this was the only search criteria (while reading as a TEXT file).Do anyone have a good idea how to extract just the summation details ?CheersLars I

Here is my colour setter. I also tried GeometryColorSetter and it worked, but the coloured output is too bad. Random colours are spread so badly. @chrisatsafe​ @Hans van der Maarel​ @safesoftware safesoftware​ 

Hi, I will try to upload shapefile to geoserver over the rest api.This should be possible with the HTTPCaller! I am using the following option: - http methode: PUTUpload from data...But I get the error: I have access to the given url. So what is the problem here?Does someone has experience in uploading shapes to geoserver with fme?

Block legacy authentication with Azure AD with Conditional Access How will this influence the FME Server Azure AD integration? And what can be done to fix it? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/block-legacy-authentication

Hello, I would like to use a FeatureReader as an entry point of my workspace.But only Reader can work. As a workaround, I use a Reader to read a dummy file (ie. an image) connected to a FeatureReader. Is it possible to choose an arbitrary transformer (ie. FeatureReader) as an entry point? Thanks!

I want to make a custom transformer with a geodatabase SDE table reader from a specific table, and some other transformers. But when i try to create it, the SDE reader is converted into an input of the custom transformer. Isn't it possible to have a fixed reader in a custom transformer?

I work for a city entity and have a federated login. I'd like to connect to ArcGIS Online in FME Data Inspector so that I can use a specific basemap. Is this possible? How can I format my credentials here?Thanks!

I have reviewed the recommended Virtual Memory settings in this post. But, my server is hosted in Azure. It has 32GB of physical memory, 4 cores, and has a dedicated 149GB drive for the pagefile that is managed by Azure. Still getting this error when reading in 5M well records from Enverus data to our SQL Server Enterprise Geodatabase (SDE). The FME version is the lates - 2022.1.3. Just upgraded from 2020.2.2. 2020.2.2 did not have this issue.  To clarify - I have NOT made the suggested settings as Azure manages the pagefile and it is substantial.

Hi, I read that safe is building a way to generate custom transformers from OpenAPI description. Could anyone tell me if the plan is to make it compatible with 3.0 or only 3.1 specs?

My parameter says this.$(FME_MF_DIR)\\CF\\PNM.sdeBut I want it to say this.C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Desktop\\CF\\PNM.sde Can this be done? This is a problem because it breaks the connection when the workbench is put in different folder.

I have a LAS dataset representing the groundsurface (also available in a point feature class) and a polyline Z feature class. Is it possible to determine where the polyline z is above the ground surface also taking into account in between the vertices?

I have two polyline features. One which is on the ground surface and one below the ground surface on the exact same location. I want to generate height lines for each Vertex generated by the differences in Z-coordinates of the corresponding vertices of the 2 polyline features.

Hello,I try to create polygon from osm like cemeteries. For now, I'm stuck after the XML Fragmenter and Vertex Creator. I don't know how to build lines between points because there isn't an unique value. I didn't find anything on the FME community so I post this question. If someone could give me an orientation, if would be very nice !Thank you !  

I was thinking I can use an attribute filter to filter the different asset types and subsequently use a 3Dforcer to lay the different polylines on their correct depth. As an example I used the following parameters in the 3Dforcer for 1 attribute of the field asset type:  Elevation: @ZValue()-1Preserve Z-values: No The result was as follows:1 polyline features has 3 vertices:Before translation:  1stvertex Z: 0,62ndvertex Z: 0,83th vertex Z: 1,0 After translation: 1stvertex Z: -0,22ndvertex Z: -0,23th vertex Z: -0,2 What I would like to have: 1stvertex Z: -0,42ndvertex Z: -0,23th vertex Z: 0 This translation provides a constant Zvalue based on some average of mutliple vertices. I want it to take intoaccount each individual Z and then substract the ammount specified.

Hi, I am just exploring some of the standard dashboard features of FME Server 2021.2.3.0 (20220131 - Build 21812 - WIN64), I have got a couple working without any issues, and now I am unable to get the "DailyAverageQueuedTime.fmw" workspace to run, each time I get a warning: Path Reader: No files found in folder 'C:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FME Server\resources\dashboards\temp' using glob pattern '*.csv' with glob filter 'FILE'. No features will be readI have attached the full log file, has anyone seen this before, or do you know how to resolve? I am not sure what I should be looking for. Cheers

I have used RasterMosaicker to mosaic 4 ECW images into a single ECW image. Prior to mosaicking none of the images had black areas around the edges. After mosaicking my output shows two locations that are black on the edge of the image.  I checked and these black areas have data, various values of 1,0,1; 0, 1, 0; 1, 2, 1; and several other values. Any suggestions on how to remove the black areas? I have tried Clipper and it does not clip the black areas, they remain in the output.

We are on the process to upgrade FME 2015 to 2020. Because all of the security regulations our cybersecuirty team blocking this from happening without getting an answers for the following question, we do appreciate if you can help us with this.What types of applications are being coded and in what languages?What training has been provided or completed in secure application development by the development team?What is the Software Development LifeCycle, and how does security form a part of this?Do the applications take inputs or variables? If yes, how are they sanitised?Are whitelists being used in place of blacklisted characters?Are automated tools used to scan for vulnerabilities, what is the time frame for high and critical vulnerabilities to be remediated?Where will the code repository sit?How are error exceptions handled?What network separation is there from Dev/ QA/ Prod, who reviews the code?
