Hi,My Workspace run by command line...There is one Emailer transformer and other output shapefile. When I run by FME Desktop, the workspace run properly, but when I run by Task scheduler the log file show me TOTAL FEATURES WRITTEN 0, and the e-mail wasn´t sent. What I can do?Thank´s

Assume we have a well populated PostGIS database with lots of metadata about raster and feature based data. (we are using FME Server, to farm the cloud and other sources and build the PostGIS database).Now we need a friendly user interface for search and download.What open source technologies would one use to create a end-user friendly catalog search and download system (web based). Something similar to what is located at: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset (I realize they just provide pointers to the original source, we would be caching the rasters and the feature in a datalake, and using PostGIS for the catalog/index) yea, the data.gov uses ESRI, but let's take that off the table.) If I had to do it by hand, I would use Leaflet or OpenLayers, but since this is such a common need, I wonder if someone has not already put that together).

Howdy!I have a question about "Summary Annotation", when used with transformers like the AttributeManager or AttributeRenamer it does not expose all of the attributes. Example of the transformer issue: Using "Summary Annotation" with an AttributeManager transformer, the list/table of "Attribute Actions" that is shown is limited to 20 (seemingly random) attributes/rows. At the bottom of the annotation list/table it states "41 more row(s)". Is this just a default setting? Is there a way to get it to show me the other 41 rows? Compared with a Reader/Writer: However it appears that Summary Annotation exposes all of the data when used with Readers/Writers. I noticed that when I use Summary Annotation for a transformer like a SQL Writer, there seems to be no limit to how long the list/table of fields/attributes/rows that can be displayed.     Any help understanding this limitation and/or a work around is appreciated.

I have a bunch of images that I want to rotate on their self. Like this example.Do you know an API that I could use in FME or a transformer that could do the job?Thanks.

I have a line shapefile, can I convert this to a csv file displaying a column of well-known text?

HiI have a workspace on FME Server (Cloud) which currently uses the data download service. It requires the user to upload a .csv and a .pdf, then it runs a translation and delivers a .kmz and a folder of geoTIFFs. I'd like to run this workspace using a call to the REST API. I'm struggling to figure out how 2 files can be uploaded as part of the same SUBMIT call. Assuming I can do this, will the call still trigger a data download? Or will I need to write to a shared resource folder? Any help appreciated, thanks.

With XMLUpdater I am changing values in an XML-file. I'd like to generate the xpath dynamically based upon a column ('Attribuut') in an Excel file. However, when I select this attribute in the text editor for the XML Path, the generated code is wrong. It is://*:featureAttribute[*:name/text() = 'fme:get-attribute("Attribuut")']/*:definitionwhere it should be://*:featureAttribute[*:name/text() = '@Value(Attribuut)']/*:definitionI can change this myself and everything works fine, but I'm just curious: Is this a bug, or does FME generate the xpath as one might expect? Is it something I do wrong?

Just wondering if anyone has tried the (very) new DICOM reader in 2018.1 Desktop.I would like to process several folders of NON-MEDICAL DICOM CT images in an engineering application, using the raster (relative density) data returned in x,y by z slices to create a fully dimensioned 3D model suitable for viewing in a standard browser.Being able to project the DICOM x,y,z coordinate system into a real world coordinate system would be a distinct advantage, as would being able to contrast and window to observe specific features.Any experience people have with this greatfully appreciated.

I want to take a DEM with a 1 foot resolution (horizontal) calculate slopes and output two polygons 1 with the slopes drom 12 to 17 degrees and the other with slopes above 17 degrees. the rest can be discarded. Is there a sample workspace I can study to perform this?Thanks

Hi,I would like to know if FME provides a transformer or a logic allowing to derive the similarity between 2 shape geometries. There are concepts such as the Hausdorff distance which could probably be used to some extent for that purpose. This similarity could be for instance expressed as a ratio but I don't know exactly of what yet. Basically I would like to be able to determine if 2 overlapping shapes are similar enough and can be considered as representing the same object in reality.Thanks in advance for your hints!Olivier

Hi,  I am looking a transformer that could work like the XY to line tool in ArcGIS.  For each spot I have a beginning lat/long and an ending lat/long on the same row.  I would like to connect the lat/longs on each row as a line and then move to the next row as a new line feature.  I have tried pointconnector which works great for sequential rows but I have not been able to get it to work in this manner.  Thanks.

I've got FME workbench installed and licensed on a CentOS7 machine an Amazon EC2. I've successfully run models through command line, but I would ideally like to have the actual FME GUI. I followed these instructions to install a the gnome gui and connecting through VNC https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-remote-access-for-the-gnome-desktop-on-centos-7#step-8-%E2%80%94-securing-vnc-sessions-through-ssh-tunnelingWhen I click on the FME workbench application in the gui it crashes when it tries to load the main window.Do I just need to use something other than gnome? 

Hi,I am trying to figure out how to insert disclaimers/metadata from one folder to all zipped folders within another folder?  My setup involves Reading from an SDE connection, an InlineQuerier transformer to definition query various private data fields out of the data, an Attribute Keeper transformer to keep only the pertinent fields for public viewing before 6 different writers take the data and convert and zip to file geodatabase, kml, shapefile, AutoCAD, CSV, and GeoPackage. With each feature class/dataset being converted into 6 different formats into a single export folder. The naming convention will be standardized (Parks_KML.zip, Addresses_shp.zip, Water_FGDB.zip etc), I need to insert a text disclaimer file into each of the zipped folders. I thought using the FileCopy Writer from this example (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/881/including-additional-files-in-the-data-download-re.html)with a wildcard fanout of the export folder but I am unable to make that work.  Thanks! @tak

Hi all,Is there a way to trigger a topic if a job is cancelled or just send a email? I have a script running in on a schedule with a Running Job Expiry Time. Sometimes my job exceeds this time and is cancelled, but that does not result in a failure (or success). Thanks in advance 

Hello y'all,I submitted a large international airport file to your online IMDF validation portal and I haven't received an error report yet, it has been over 45 mins since I submitted the file. I have uploaded a smaller file, and I received an error report. Is there a file size limit with the online validation? I appreciate any guidance! I am using FME Workbench 2018.1.Thank you!

I have a complex geometry which contains one vertex that I want to remove.The 'offending' vertex is in the first element, the PolylineGeometry(35):The vertext I want to remove:I tried using something like @takashi suggested in my previous post, but obviously the arcs were lost.I would like to ONLY remove that one point (and similarly in other complex polygons) and have the rest of the geometry unchanged. I'm an FME neophyte, so is there a way to do that?Thanks for any help!

Hi,I have an FME script that gives java errors (FME desktop 2018.1.0.1 on Windows) : java.lang.Error: IP Helper Library GetIfTable function failedjava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.crypto.JceSecurityManager The translation finishes successfully, but I would like to avoid these errors. I tried to reinstall Java, but with no success. Any idea ? ThanksDaniel

I have two data stream, both have count attribute. I would like to compare the count_1 and count_2, if the count_1 > count_2 the set attributes by count_1 go ahead...if count_2 > count_1 the set attributes by count_2 go ahead.Thank´s

I'm getting the most current readings for streams via an xml table provided by http link. I want to make 2 tables of the readings: 1-with the most current readings and one with the history or previous days readings. What I have so far set-up in FME does the job but I cant seem to seperate "history" from "current". Also I need the time format to stay in UTC-GMT in the AttributeCreator_2 (see screenshots). I'm trying to make a live feed map in arcpro of the sensor readings so any help would be appreciated as I am totally new to FME ANYTHING!Thanks!

Hi,Bit of on odd one i cannot work out. I have some tabular data e.g.203040325The headers are 20,30,40 with values 3,2,5.Is there a simple oway to end up with20304020,20,2030,3040,40,40,40,40Thanks

Hi, I have a Schema Source and Destination in a database and the Feature Type names contain the Table Qualifier (e.g. <prefix>.<table_name>). One one side it is dbo. on the other it is tab.I tried to follow the guide https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1156/dynamic-workflow-tutorial-destination-schema-is-de-3.html but with this same data source you can remove the prefix as an option. With SQL Server it doesnt appear to be possible. How do you get round this?Many Thanks,Oliver 

Hello, My name is Fred from the Netherlands and i have a problem creating lines from attribute values. I hope somebody can help me!In the attached file beschoeiing.xlsx you can see the RD-coordinates (dutch EPSG:28992) of line objects in 3 different columns:Option 1: rds coordinaten X- and Y-coordinate cobined in one feature Option 2.1: rds X: only X-coordinate in a feature Option 2.2: rds Y: only Y-coordinate in a feature (use option 1 or combine option 2.1 and 2.2)I want to create line objects from this data. I think i have to loop through the coordinates, but i do not know how to do that. After looping i need to make geometry (lines). I want the features "naam", "nummer" and "object id" from the excel file attached to the line-geometry.Can somebody help me please?Kind regards, Fred PS1: (i'm not completely new to FME, but i'm not (yet) a super-user) PS2: i hope you understand my english ;-)

Hi, I have a problem that I can't seem to wrap my head around maybe because it's monday or maybe it really is difficult?  I have a series of "events" (5000+) with random timestamps.
