FME License Server - restriction of time usage for specific usergroup

Hello everybody,please, Im trying to solve problem with FME license server. As I checked, there is possibility to restrict one floating license for specific usergroup (check there https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm). But, and its my question, is there any possibility to set exact usage time for specific usergroup?E.g. Just imagine FME License server with 2 floating licenses. I just wanna to restrict one license for usergroup called "GIS" only for daytime from 6PM till 6AM. From 6AM till 6PM, both licenses should be available for all users (doesnt matter of what usergroup). Is there any tool how to set it up please? Thank You so much for all ideas!Lubo

Reprojecting raster tiles, output doubles in size

Hi, I have a set of 250 raster tiles, I have reprojected them from ITM to WGS84, before reprojection each tile was 87,215KB. After reprojection the tiles are roughly 180,000KB. Why has this happened? My workbench is included here, I first mosaicked the tiles then reprojected and finally clipped back to the tile boundaries. Thanks for any help. B

Create Geometry from XML (GML)

Hi, I am trying to create geometry from a coordinate list in GML but it does not work with the GeometryReplacer (GML). I don't know if I did anything wrong with exposing the XML attribute containing the geo or if the format is the problem. The following template contains the workspace and the XML source. The coordinates are stored in the XML tag "Building.geometry2D.BuildingGeometry2D.geometry.Polygon.exterior.LinearRing.posList Thanks in advance for any help!

Are dynamic websocket stream ids possible?

I am using a websocket to stream data from FME server (2018) to a web app in a browser. The data I am streaming out can be classified by its location, and the user of the web app only views one location at a time. So ideally the websocket stream id would be something like '<location>_data', where <location> is dynamic and set by the feature in the workspace.This doesn't appear possible though. Setting up the workspace like this seems to instantiate the stream id of the websocket sender with the first feature to pass through it, and then fixes it for the remainder of the job. E.g. if location 'X' was the first feature to be processed, the stream id would be 'X_data' even when locations 'A', 'B' or 'C' passed through. Is this how the websocket sender works? Is there any workaround for this?It is possible for me to stream all data for all locations out through a websocket with stream id 'data', however this is very wa

How can I extract the html table from kml_description?

I am trying to get the attributes from a point layer in a KMZ file stored in a HTML table within kml_description...... I have tried using HTMLToXHTMLConverter, but the features always fail.

Remote Engine shutting down 2018.1

I have a FME Server (2018.1.01) set up with two local engines and one remote engine. This remote engine periodically shuts down and requires restarting. I haven't found a pattern of anything causing it to shut down. Is this a known issue? I also cannot manage the number of engines for this host, it isn't listed as a host on the engines page in the web interface.

Translate AutoCAD block names to Esri shapefile

This should be a dead easy translation, but unfortunately I use FME only one or two times a year, and I’ve been too lazy to take enough time to read the documentation and become more proficient.I have several hundred AutoCAD drawing files that I need to extract data from three feature types:linework on layer R-UTIL-CATV-LINESblocks on layer S-UTIL-CATV-SYM: all I want are the insertion points and the block name at each insertion pointblocks on layer S-UTIL-ELEC-SYM: again, just insertion points and the block nameThe target writer type is Esri shapefile. I can get the geometry of the lines and the block insertion points, but I cannot get the block name no matter what permutations of translation parameter that I try. I have looked through the forum postings, but apparently this is one of those FME 001 translation types that is supposed to be self-evident. I will accept the fact that I’m a lazy ignoramus, but I would really appreciate a solution for getting those block names. Here is a li

IterativeSnipper - combine polylines and segment a continuous feature by a certain distance

I have a layer with several polylines that represents a hiking trail in southern Sweden. I need to segment this trail into equal lengths in one direction along the line, either starting from the north or the south. At one point the trail splits in two and one feature ends in the middle of another, otherwise all features are joined on the start and ending vertices of each other. The sum of lengths of the lines is 85 266.31 m.The layer uses projected geographic coordinate system: SWEREF TM 13 30, which I believe is LatLong @david_rI am trying to use the IterativeSnipper to cut the trail into 4000 m segments. First I tried to aggregate the polylines, since I want the lines to go in one direction, or to have one starting and one ending point. The translation failed because of invalid geometry that time. And I couldn't get the LineCombiner to work either @egomm.And when I use only the IterativeSnipper with the below parameters, I get a result of 27 polylines with most of the features (1

The right way to branch the workflow

Hi!I'm sorry if the question seems trivial, but I didn't found a turnkey solutionI have two grids and a condition that subsequents flow of an algorithm depends on minimum value of mathematical difference between them. If it is larger than a certain value I must wright both of initial grids to defined place, if it's smaller - than do nothing.Of course, there is no problem to use tester to RasterBandMinMaxExtractor. But on the output port I will get a raster with calculated difference but not the initial rasters. I can use result as a clipper for required rasters, but maybe there is more right and elegant way to branch an algorithm?Thank you!

Dynamically Add/Remove Attributes in Custom Transformer Output

I am building a custom transformer that returns to the user one to many road characteristics. I have a Choice with Alias (Multiple) User Parameter that allows the user to choose 1 to Many road characteristics. My issue is that attributes from characteristics that they did not choose are showing up in the Output.I’ve tried BulkAttributeRemover with Regex. NullAttributeMapper after the custom transformer to remove the ‘missing’ attributes, but it requires the user to select each attribute to remove. I generated a List in the FeatureMerger that I am using to merge the records back together. When the data comes thru the Output the List looks correct, but when I explode the list, the extra attributes show up.I’m sure there is a more elegant way to remove these extra attributes.Thanks.

Why does the DatabaseJoiner transformer work so much slower in FME 2018.0 vs FME 2017.1? (Bug?)

I have been developing an FME workflow in version 2017 and have since upgraded it to run in version 2018 but am noticing a vastly slower processing speed when running the DatabaseJoiner transformer in the 2018 version. I can literally count each feature as it gets joined. This used to happen in 5 seconds at the slowest in the 2017 version and in fact I can run the DatabaseJoiner in a workflow identical(data and workflow) to the slow 2018 version and it will run super fast. This may be indicative of a bug in this transformer. Can someone help me find out if this is the case? I used to be able to run this workflow in less than 3 hours but in the 2018 version it takes over 9 hours to finish processing.

Convert a file for me please ?

Hello all,I am a newbie to FME and have failed at the first hurdle to convert an .XML file to .csv format.I really want this converted but do not have the time to learn how to use FME (wonderful, though it is) to complete the task.Would anyone like to do this as a simple challenge to their skills? The file is of no commercial value but it is about 115MB in size. I would simply like it converted to an .xlsx or .csv file with a flat structure.(I would use somethimg like www.wetransfer.com to send it to you).Any takers?Thanks one and all !!

Copy/rename file with Python

I'm looking to do something that I'm not sure is totally possible, but I'm trying. My goal is to copy a seed MDB file for each unique input attribute value, and rename to that value. I could have upwards of 200 unique names, and there will be one feature enter the PythonCaller per unique attribute. This is where my lackluster Python skills have taken me. The exception I'm getting is 'global name library is not defined'.I have a feeling that even if this did process through as it is, I would only get one mdb copy with the first feature to pass through.

2D lines to 3D Features

Hello Everyone, I am looking to convert 2D Lines to 3D Features. I am not looking though to add Height value, what I want to do is take a line and based on an attribute value (diameter: 250mm for example) create a 3D cylindrical version of it. Then I will add elevation values using the 3D Forcer, that I am aware of. I have taken a look at 3D Forcer/Interpolator, SurfaceDraper, etc. but I do not believe they do the trick. Could you please point me to a direction? Thank you for your time. Kind regards, George Floros

How to update records using EAM Software web services

Hello,We are trying to update/insert/delete records within a Enterprise Asset Management system using the software's web service endpoints. We take information from our CAD/GIS environment and need to feed it into the EAM environment using these web services. I understand the records need to be appropriately formatted but I am confused on how to actually "write" these records out the EAM software's endpoints. I have done some web searching with little luck. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to get a solution like this off the ground.
