Hello im relatively new to FME and I want to determine the resolution of raster images with the transformer "RasterPropertyExtractor", how can i set this transformer to supply the resolution dynamically? Because I want to use the workspace for different images with different resoulutions.  Thank you and Best wishes Barrylim

After completing the setup of the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) reader for Oracle, the following error occurs: "Unable to read from the table/feature class 'schema.table'. If 'schema.table' contains a class extension, make sure it is registered on this computer. It may be that 'schema.table' contains a feature type that is only available in ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Server. If so, please install required ArcGIS Product, or if required product already installed, update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'. To update setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python Compatibility". Please note that I changed my real database info to "schema.table" for security. I tried changing the Python version to 2.7, but I get the same error. I also tried creating the connection file in both Arc Pro 2.6.3 and Arc Catalog 10.6, but I got the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have GIS point features that are on or along GIS line features. I need to get a count of how many point features are on any given line feature and attach that count as an attribute to the line. I also have separate inspection data as an access database that captures the equivalent of the point feature as a code. I need to get a count of the point codes associated with the given inspection to compare to the count of the GIS points and in turn determine if the inspection data needs to be reviewed.

Hi.I'm clearly a novice wrt. handling rasters in FME. I simply have trouble with understanding the fundamentals.E.g., I want to replace all white (1,1,1) cell values with a transparent cell (x,x,x,1).I looked at the RasterCellValueReplacer, but it doesn't handle colors the FME way, so it's a dead end.And the other raster transformers I've looked at all seemed off-mark to me.How do I accomplish this simple task ?Do I need to explode the raster into individual cells (and later reassemble) to do it ?Cheers.

I have a point feature containing different entries per point (multiple measurements on different heights), and i want to aggregate my attribute table in a way that only one entry per X,Y-point exist. The final entry should thereby only contain the maximum values of all measurements per points. I tried using the Aggregator tool, however, I was unable to keep the maximum values, since the only implemented functions seem to be average and sum. I think of using my own python script withih a PythonCaller, but it did not work either (I know it must work , but I am pretty new to both FME and Python and just did not succeed). Any help much appreciated!

In order to control the file system size I have setup a automatic System Cleanup that works on one of our custom shared resources. This was setup a couple of days ago, but it seems that this process was not run.  Is there a place where I can see the System Cleanup runs? Neither in the logs or jobs could I find any reference to this.Is there a setting at what time of the day this is run?What privileges are needed for the service to delete the files?What defines the filesystem user for, for example, the "fmeupload" files?I have used the following System Cleanup task definition, which should be run every day. However, in the folder structure I can see folders and files older than 1 month already. UpdateAfter restarting the FME Core, it now correctly logs the event of checking if it can delete the logs once every day. It however does not delete the logs. It looks like that all the files are owned by "root:root". Not something I would expect from a service ran by "f

I used S3Connector to upload a file to a S3 bucket which has versioning enabled. I uploaded three files to the same bucket, and I can see the three version IDs in the AWS console. Can I retrieve the version ID of the latest upload? Can I download the file of a specific version?

Hello,I have a problem of optimization. I have a very large set of points with arguments that I can't combine before sorting it. The points are divided themsleves with an argument, and I have around 100-500 points for each group. The problem being that I want to reduce that number to approximately fifty. The new coordinates for each of these fifty points is computed using the other 500, and an argument that each one has. So is there a way we can we replace all the vertex in a feature at once, with lists of points ?The lists would look like this going out of the Python Caller . This is for one coordinate only, the x.[929437.0060424805, 929441.2712402344, 929441.2976074219, 929441.3193969727, 929442.5599975586, 929444.1078491211]Any idea on how to proceed, or another approach possible ?Thanks

Hello, it is possible to disable a public parameter linked to a disabled reader or transformer when we start running a workspace ? Thanks for answering this very beginner question :)

Hello everyone, I made my database connections public for all users in my organisation using the guidelines described in this post. Although I succeeded in making the connections public, every user still individually needs to adjust his or her Connection storage parameters in the FME Options. Just like any other change to the default options. I was wondering if there is a way to already configure all FME options upon installation of the software , some sort of 'my company's FME configuration' file which overwrites the default settings. So the user does not need to configure anything themselves. All information is greatly appreciated,  

Hi, Safers! I read Text Files as Whole text at once but I need convert files not in UTF-8 to UTF-8 before reading. This is because FME needs to know the encoding when it reads the file.  I figure one easy way to do this is to store the files to a temp folder and via the SystemCaller run some windows command to convert the files not already in UTF-8 (this can be more than thousands of files so preferably I can convert only the files that needs converting) before reading them with the Text File reader with Character Encoding set to UTF-8. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this in an easy way? Preferably within the FME script if possible... Kind regards, Peter

Hello,I have several year's worth of rain gauge data at 15 minute intervals. What I am trying to get out of it is sorting the dataset by days when it rained over, and under a certain value (that would be a sum total of rainfall in mm for each day).Any suggestion on how to achieve this are muchly appreciated.Cheers.

A package in the form of a fpkg file was installed during the upload of a new workspace. How can the package be uninstalled from FME server  

Hi I am trying to read attached CSV file using FME 2020.1 Can some pls advise the correct parameter on the reader to all the values from this csv file. I have tried various options. It either doesn't read it at all, or misses few columns

Hi all,I've run into a bit of an issue where I've got to figure out the following. Bear with me, as my thought process is still recovering - Each month Postcodes and data come to us, and these are in a zip file.I read in the starting path with the "Path" reader as the names are not the same each month. That's the key for this approach. It could be something like "Postcodes_Nov20.zip" for example.Parsing that detail, using the Unzipper, I unzip the contents to a working folder.#I feed these through, with the path_windows value, to the FeatureReader, as it holds the complete paths in; eg - Z:\\FME\\Working Folder\\Postcodes_Nov20\\data\\Part1.csvThese are then connected to a FeatureReader, but it's just parsing the same file path, and not the CSV files. I've attached the workspace, as well as the FeatureReader parameters, as this has stumped me and is just the start of a longer process. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I have a workspace that takes one published parameter to run through. I want to set up a FME server weekly automation, and each weekly run includes running the workspace multiple times, each with a different parameter value. The parameter values are stored in a text file. Seems to be simple? But I can't think of a good way to do this. Still new to the FME server automation. I am using FME 2019.2.1, both desktop and server.

I'm wondering how I can make a request with SSL using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service reader. No matter what I do, FME continnue sto try to access via HTTP instead of HTTPS. I'm reading a features service hosted in ArcGIS Online into FME Workbench 2020 64 bit. Last week I was able to connect to a service using the Feature Service reader without issue. But our admin team converted the ESRI organization to require HTTPS only, which seems to coincide with the 403 error I'm receiving. I've remade the web connections, tried to reconfigure the feature service URL to use HTTPS, with no luck. I receive this error This may be a temporary server issue, or insufficient permissions. The error code from the server was '403' and the message was: 'SSL Required'Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'ARCGISONLINEFEATURES' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. S

If the "create with oid" is set in an earlier version of FME, both desktop and server still reads this. And you now dont have the option to remove it, unless you open the workbench in a earlier version. I'm using build 20202, and I just noticed cause we migrated to a newer PostGis server version which dont support OIDS. The parameter exists in 2019.2.

I am new to lists and xml in FME and having a bit of trouble. I am using the XMLTemplator to populate an XML tag using a list value. The following works as it should.{for $Contact_id in fme:get-list-attribute("Contact{}")return <NRWContact>{$Contact_id}</NRWContact>}However I am also using a different list which has been produced using the list builder and the name of the list is appended on the end so can get it to recognise it to get the value.{for $ExcelColumnName_id in  {fme:get-list-attribute("list{}.ExcelColumnName")}return<Location>$ExcelColumnName_id</Location>}This just returns  “<Location>$ExcelColumnName_id</Location>” and not the value from the list  e.g <Location>Column B</Location>”. Hopefully it’s a simple tweak but I have not stumbled across it yet or found the same thing on the community.

Hi,I have a dataset containing point cloud terrain data and a point dataset. The point dataset is buffered using an attribute in the dataset and extruded using another attribute, but I can´t seem to get the extruded features to drape to the terrain data. What am i doing wrong here?

Hi, I have troubles opening the attached geopackage, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. It opens nicely in QGIS (where it displays the rasters) and with a SQLite client I'm able to access the tables.  The error is : "OGCGEOPACKAGE reader: `IHC Krimpen online - Progress - GRD - Version 1_20200409 204806.gpkg' exists but could not be opened. File contents may be invalid, or the file format may not be supported"Using FME 2020.1

I have upgraded my Mac to the latest OS (Big Sur 11.0.1) and at the same time moved to a SSD system disk. As a result FME Workbench will not run at all. I am running version 2020.2 but older versions will not load either. I've tried reinstalling FME but the same problem occurs. I do not see any error message displayed. Is FME compatible with Big Sur?
