Hey there,I recently tried to run a workspace I created a month ago where I download the latest Sentinel-2 image via the FeatureReader (Sentinel-2 on AWS format) based on an intersection with a shape file. The workspace used to work out fine.Now, the workspace fails early at the FeatureReader with the following error message:Imagery on AWS Reader: Error listing 'http://sentinel-s2-l1c.s3.amazonaws.com/?delimiter=/&prefix;=tiles/32/U/MC/'. Check the reader filters or try again later. The error was 'FMEException: 931363: Imagery on AWS Reader: Error downloading 'http://sentinel-s2-l1c.s3.amazonaws.com/?delimiter=/&prefix;=tiles/32/U/MC/'. Check the reader filters or try again later. The error was '403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: http://sentinel-s2-l1c.s3.amazonaws.com/?delimiter=/&prefix;=tiles/32/U/MC/''Does anyone encountered the same error message? Is it possible that the imagery downloading service is temporarily unavailable or did it changed the permissions (regardi

I have a dataset with various depth zones that I am trying to process by running a DonutHoleExtractor, then removing some of the polygons that I don’t want based on certain rules and lastly rebuilding it all with a DonutBuilder. This works fine for the depth zones but some of the areas that are land, white in the maps below, get turned into depth zones. This is not surprising, but I would like to find a workaround. I looked at using the holes from the DHExtractor to punch holes in the last step, but the ”land holes” get the attribute data from their surrounding depth zone, so I have not found a way to single them out.  Any ideas to how exlude certain areas when extracting donuts? Or maybe you have a better idea for a workaround?  Please note that this is a follow up question to, https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/81896/selecting-square-ish-donuts.html  The brown map is the original data and the green one is after DonutHoleExtractor

I'm trying to write postgres data from to a new schema. The table I'm reading has a unique constraint on two columns like this: CREATE TABLE public.real_right(    share_numerator smallint,    share_denominator smallint,    upi character varying(50) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,    party_id character varying(100) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,    is_deleted boolean,    CONSTRAINT "PK_REAL_RIGHT" PRIMARY KEY (upi, party_id))WITH (    OIDS = FALSE)TABLESPACE pg_default;If I take a look at the reader it shows me only a primary key at upiWhen I use Table definition: Copy from Reader ...Then the bulk data load fails because of the primary key violation.So the question is: Does the postgres reader supports multiple key constraints?And is there a workaround?thanks in advance

I have a very simple workspace. A DTED reader which is set to read a few thousand .dt0 files. This feeds into a Sorter transformer, which sorts alphabetically on fme_dataset, and finally outputs to an Inspector When exactly 506 features have entered the Sorter, all subseqent features gives the errorERROR |DTED Plugin: Failed to open file Z:\raw\Elevation\Global\DTED0\dted\e016\s05.dt0.WARN  |MULTI_READER(DTED_1): Skipping to next Readerand only the first 506 features are output from the Sorter. This happens regardless of which .dt0 files are read, the limit is always 506 features.This seems like a bug in the DTED reader to me, because a DEM reader does not give the same error.I'm using FME 2018.1.0.0

I am reading a large ECW file and clipping out a section then writing it to ECW again. Does anyone know how FME manages ECW compression. The writer by default is set to 75% compression but the ECW file is already compressed. Does the writer honour the original compression settings or is it further compressing a compressed file? Should I set compression to 0%? Also I can't seem to find a concise answer on whether FME now handles ECW v3 images?

I have a google sheet I am trying to read in that has Timestamp as an attribute, mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss. I want to only read in those features that fall between provided dates and time - say the records between 09/22/2018 12:00:00 to 10/22/2018 12:00:00. This time range will change each month. This all feeds to a monthly report but the google sheet is cumulative.Is there a way to create a user parameter to read in only the dates wanted?The other problem I have is that the reader does not appear to be reading the Timestamp as a date-time format although it is formatted that way in the sheet. Right now I am using a Tester after the reader and set the mode to date/time. When reading the data, the Tester shows "Unable to do a date/time comparison... Comparing as strings instead". None of the records pass the Tester, 74 of them should have passed. How can I set the Timestamp attribute to be read and processed as date-time?

Hi FME experts,I have a number of text files that looks like this (attached).

Hello:I have an issue that I can't seem to understand. I'm new to JSON (in fact this is the first json output I've ever created). I have a structure that has a ROOT and SUB. The JSONTemplater says my current structure is valid and produces the file. However, when I run it through https://jsonlint.com/ the results are invalid. So, I looked at the output of what another area is expecting and I manually modified the file to see if the updates I made were valid. The short of it is, I need to modify what's in my JSONTemplater to add a comma (,) before each NEW record and add brackets ([ ]) around the entire output file. EVERY attempt I've made in modify the JSONTemplater has failed or I get an error. I'm loosing it! :) I've attached the file I manually revised and the one from the actual results of the workspace. Can someone tell me what's wrong with my JSONTemplater? ROOT Structure:{   "totalInvestment": xs:double(fme:get-attribute("tota

Is it possible to read constant properties from an Autocad block?Constant properties are never changing in a block and can be displayed. This is an example:It shows 1 block, with some dynamic attributes ('12 345'). The 'N' is a constant property, so there is no attribute defining it.My questions is: is there somehow a way to read this information?I am aware it is possible to explode the block and extract this autocad_text entity, but that is not the solution I am after. 

I am trying to use the HTTPCaller transform to access an internal web application ( mvc5) hosted on IIS8. It always returns an error 500 , regardless of the authentication method used - I suspect ho it passes the account information is the issue as if I disable authentication I get the 401. The FME desktop is on a dedicated machine with a dedicated account and this account can access the url using IE/Edge without any issues. I was wondering if the transformer supports Kerberos authentication, and if not, can someone please suggest another method I can use to read a specific web page on our authenticated web application.Note: We use 2017.1 desktop only and our network is pure Windows with no internal proxy for routing.Any suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated, as this is driving me crazy.

Hi,I plan to install a fault tolerant FME Server 2018.1. I would like to install 2 systems that each have 2 engines. A load balancer will manage the requests to these 2 systems (as below)I have 2 questions:1/ Is it possible to dedicate one engine to a "message streaming" workflow (WebsocketReceiver/WebsocketSender). Let say the engine1 of the host1.2/ Is it possible to send "big job" only to the engine1 of the host2? In my comprehension, I will have to duplicate queues on both hosts so it seems not possible to only use one engine... Thank you in advance! Laurent 

Hi there, The MRF2DCleaner plugin for FME Desktop contains some very interesting transformers. I am however, having a hard time finding the link for a trial or full version download. Where can I find that? I've already reached out to the sales people of MRF but they answered that I should ask safe for the prices and download.  Can anyone shed some light on the origin and availability of this plugin. Cheers Rolf

Howdy!Over the past several weeks I've been working on a child workspace to run from WorkspaceRunner, testing it out in WorkspaceRunner as the child progressed. However yesterday (?) it WorkspaceRunner seems to have stopped working. Is there a known bug related to this? Can someone tell me if I'm crazy or not?By "not working" I mean to say that one or two features (or none) might be sent to the WorkspaceRunner but they are not passed on to the child workspace, there is no output and no additional features are recieved by the WorkspaceRunner. Initially I thought that it was an issue with my child workspace, however after a whole lot of hours troubleshooting I went back and downloaded the example found here:https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1469/batch-processing-using-the-workspacerunner-1.html I was surprised to find that working with the downloaded example it did not work either (I upgraded the transformers and it made no difference). I copy & pasted the translation logs progress

Hi, hopefully this is a simple one but it has me stuck. I am using a dynamic feature reader and would like to expose Format Attributes - in this case, fme_colour and fme_basename. Can someone please tell me where to find this. In the normal readers this is just a select all option under the format attributes tab.Many ThanksOliver

I have been using the PNGRASTER writer to do dataset fanout. But now I need to change this to a FeatureWriter, and I cannot find where on the form does one set the famout check box. The file names are comming in via a $RasterFileName attribute I created format "\\z\\x\\y.png" and the top level folder which these files should go into is $outDir (the raster files were created by running the WebMapTiler, so I don't want to lose the _num_tiles parameter, which I need to send . ThanksI.e. I want to reproduce this sort of effect:

I am using the QGIS plugin "QGIS2WEB" for publishing spatial data into webmaps, written in javascript. The plugin converts all the data showing into .js files, stored in a data registry. Now I want to replace/add spatial data manually, without using the plugin. Is there a way to convert and export spatial data, e.g. json as .js with FME? Thank you.

Hi there!  I am trying to aggregate features here on picture. Aggregation is necessary because I have to translate. scale and rotate these objects together as one object so they can fit inside certain rectangular (defined by ID). Thing is, every circle has different set off attributes and when i Aggregate them and later Deaggregate them I lose unique attributes and get only one attribute set that was set by Aggregator for all circles.

I have a workbench that runs a lot of geometry intersection tasks with many source datasets and writes the results in a database. I grouped the different tasks into Custom Transformers, and most of the source datasets go into only one Custom Transformer and are not needed anywhere else. My problem is that as soon as a group based transformer (Feature Mergers and Aggregators mainly) is reached in one of the custom transformers, more source data is loaded and the Workbench runs out of memory once the intersection tasks start. Is it possible to configure FME Workbench in a way to read only the data relevant to one custom transformer and force it to finish before loading more source data for another custom transformer?

Hello,how is it possible to have nodata in white?ThanksMarion

Hi,We have finally succeeded to configure Single Sign On properly on our FME Server. I assumed that opening the URL would lead me directly to my Home-screen (https://<my-fme-hostname>/fmeserver/#/home, but this was not the case, unfortunately.When opening the FME-Server URL, I get a proper Login Screen, where I explicitly need to press the button "Use Windows Credentials". Doing so, logs me in succesfully, so my assumption is that we have configured Single Sign On / HTTPS well...Now, my question: Is it possible to bypass this login screen and automatically log a user in when SSO is working fine? I have read the post from @jvt2, it looks like he is asking the same question, but the answer of @erik_jan doesn't give me the right answer, or Did I miss something?Regards,Frank van Doorne

Hi,I have files of xyz format that would want to clipp off the scope of the polygon. The output format should be the same as the input xyz. The problem is that I need help in defining the output file.Formatting (the gap must be between the coordinates and should be one below the other, the precision one - which is also the input file.). Input file.xyz320000.0 5020000.0 1257.8320025.0 5020000.0 1257.1Output file.xyz320050.0 5020000.0 1254.0320075.0 5020000.0 1244.6

I have a workspace that has a published parameter of type Filename (Multiple) and I have multiple files in a folder with spaces. At the top of my fmw file is says that this should be the command-line to run the workspace "C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fme.exe" "ImporteerTrimble.fmw" --DB_Service "ODSDEV" --DB_User "GVR" --DB_Password "********" --Project_ID "22"--SchemaName "INWINNING" --Bronbestand """D:\\Path with space\\file1.dxf" "D:\\Path with space\\file2.dxf"""But when I run this command line it complains that there are uneven number of command line arguments.I just can't get this to work from the command line, running within FME Workbench does work. When I remove some quotes it accepts the arguments but then the reader fails AutoCAD Reader: Unrecognized extension for source file 'D:\\Path'.
