@DaveAtSafeHi I am trying to follow the instructions provided in https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19640/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server.htmlto create a wms service. I have created the 2 services GetCapabilities and GetPNG in FME server, and I can test each successfully using following urls:http://myserver/fmedatastreaming/TestOGC/GetCapabilities.fmw?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST;=GetCapabilities&VERSION;=1.1.1 http://myserver/fmedatastreaming/TestOGC/GetPNG.fmw?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION;=1.1.1&REQUEST;=GetMap&LAYERS;=PETROLSTATION_PT&STYLES;=&FORMAT;=image%2Fpng&TRANSPARENT;=TRUE&BBOX;=350000%2C284000%2C460000%2C370000&WIDTH;=1024&HEIGHT;=1024&EXCEPTIONS;=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_xmlHowever using FME web user interface, the GetPNG service does not create any outputAlso, should I be able to consume this wms service in any web client using http://myserver/fmedatastreaming/TestOGC/GetCapabilities.fmw?

Hallo community! I want to give you some vision about my try to create an xml document with the "XMLTemplater". The problem in my workflow is that i can't create an variable in one subtemplate to read it in an other subtemplate. (second picture show what i mean with subtemplate). Thats why i can't fill the right geometry information into my structure because my subtemplate "GEOMETRY" doesn't know in which road he is and so he can't get the right nodes out of a list which includes all nodes.So my question is now which possible ways do i have to solve that problem or how to create the xml-file with an defined structure over an other way (not over an "XMLTemplater") ?

Hi,I've an issue regarding the TinGenerator transformer. I have this error :ERROR |Surface Model: Infinite loop detected while optimizing model.

Has anybody written a workspace to grab the users, roles, access of FME Server to write out to an external location like SDE table or excel? Is it even possible?

Hi I'm trying to use FME to create cesium 3D Tiles tileset of buildings, including attributes. In the specification of b3dm format, it's done using property named batchID, witch makes it possible to assign verticies to defined batchID and assign attributes to it. It makes it possible to have single model with many buildings to have good performance, and still have possibility to read properties of individual buildings. In my workspace i have properly defined buildings and i can see, that in the inspector thay are viewed correctly. Each building is separate from others, and has its own properties. However, after exporting to Cesium 3D Tiles, the models are combined and entire tile has properties from first object in tile. Are there any extra steps needed to make it work? Do i need to define batchID manually?

Hello everyone,I'm using FME Desktop 2017.1 to read from a CosmosDB colleciton. This works fine for single-partition collections, but with partitioned collections FME raises an error telling me that the "x-ms-documentdb-query-enablecrosspartition" needs to be set. Has anyone experienced this and found a workaround, or am I missing a setting somewhere? The alternative would be to use the CosmosDB REST API, but that would be quite a bit of effort so isn't really an option at the moment.Thanks,Jan

My aim is to get a nice DEM out of my severeal xyz files. I was hoping to be able to generalize the files and save some time when running the RasterDEMgenerator . Any ideas for doing so? I have tried e.g PointCloudThinner and Generalizer but they dont seem to accept my input.

Hi,sorry for this, I have a strong feeling this is for the beginners level but I can't figure it out after 2 hours of trying so maybe someone can show me the right way (I'm also a FME beginner who did only a few workbenches till now).I need to update an xml file in a way to delete elements based on some condition. For example in this xml file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><bookstore>   <book category="cooking">           <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>           <author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>           <year>2005</year>           <price>30.00</price>   </book>   <book category="children">           <title lang="en">Harry Potter</title>           <author>J K. Rowling</author>           <year>2005</year>           <price>29.99</price>   </book>   <book category="web">           <title lang="en">Learning XML</title>  

Using FME 2018.1 (build 18528 x64)I'm noticing that two seemingly identical features are showing as updated when comparing them using Update Detector.   The geometry is what is being detected as a difference, even when using lenient geometry matching. Any ideas why? - unzips to ffs file type, ffs attachments apparently aren't allowed using the file uploaderThanks in advance!

HiI am trying to use the InlineQuerier for the first time. I am using it instead of FeatureMerger because I want to do a join using a Like statement with wildcards which is not possible with FeatureMerger.However I can't work out why my query is not running. I have done the same query within Oracle SQL Developer and it worked, but it is not working in InlineQuerier.The query I've tried is below but I get a "Format and Dataset Unspecified" error when I try to run it.SELECT b."POSTCODE",a."POSTCODE_AREA" FROM "OS_POSTCODE_UNITS" b INNER JOIN "TABLE1" a ON REPLACE (b."POSTCODE", ' ', '') LIKE CONCAT(REPLACE (a."POSTCODE_AREA", ' ', ''), '%');Screenshot is also included.I believe I have not set up the InlineQuerier properly in terms of the Input and Outputs, but I am struggling to understand what I am supposed to put here. Does anyone have a step-by-step example of how t

Howdy, I'm trying to connect to an API using this documentation: https://github.com/ubahnverleih/WoBike/blob/master/Bird.mdIt seems to work fine through Postman and other API callers, but not FME. I keep getting a bad request on the POST portion.

Is there a way to aggregate based on a condition? I have a set of polygons that I want to aggregate based on the distance. That has worked with the workaround @takashi has posted numerous times (with the buffer, en the count etc). But now I end up with aggregates that have a larger summed attribute value than I would like. Is there a way to add conditions to the aggregating proces? As in, form an aggregate based on distance, but if the summed attribute value exceeds a certain amount, further separate the aggregates.

I have another newbie question please.I am reading the input data (ID, NAME1, NAME2) in the example below and creating the new attributes FIRST and LAST.The value of the new "FIRST" attribute is set (to NAME1) when reading the first row for a particular ID. However, the new "LAST" attribute is set (to NAME2) when processing the row associated with the last entry of a particular ID.How do I backfill the value of the "LAST" attribute so that is available for the first row of an ID? (I need this in order to satisfy the required output format).I am aware of the look ahead (and behind) feature in AttributeManager/Creator. However the number of rows to look ahead is not known when reading the input data. In the example below it is 2 then 4 but it could be anything between 0 .. 100+.Example:IDNAME1NAME2FIRSTLAST1aAAAGEFAAA1aGEFCX2CX23yXCRBX4XCR3yBX4GXO3yGXOADL3yADLDARDAR

In the next few months we will be migrating from an FME Cloud instance (2018.1) on Linux to Windows Server 2016 and I haven't been able to locate any information on the proper way to migrate this. Trying to get a game plan together before we attempt this. We will still have the FME Cloud instance running while we perform the migration. Will the FME Cloud backups work with the FME Server on the Windows server platform?  If anybody could point me in the right direction, or have any useful links, that would be much appreciated. All I can find is migrating from FME Server to FME Cloud information, so I wasn't sure what hurdles might be in the way in doing this the other way with different OS's.

I would like some features in PostGis database, there is one field called 'dt_desc' with the value (2018-09-04 19:00:20).But the WARN messege showed in my log: 'dt_desc' cannot be convert to timestamp, and none features is recorded.I tried change the format in FME writer to timestamp, varchar, date...but the problem continue againIn my PostGis database the format for this field is timestamp.Somebody can help me?Thank´s

I know I'm being lazy by not thoroughly researching the available documentation, but maybe there's a simple yes/no answer to my question: can I directly export a .fmw workbench transformation to a Python module(s)? The closest analog I can think of is like in ArcGIS, where you can export a ModelBuilder diagram into a Python script.

How do you remove a colinear point from a polygon when it is the first/last vertex?  When using the generalizer (Douglas) the wrong point is removed.  See attached workspace for an example of two similar polygons. The one where the colinear point is not the first/last vertex works as expected.  The one where the first/last point is colinear, keeps that point and removes an important vertex.

Hi all,In autocad, I have a file containing information I would like to merge.Using the picture below will help to figure out the situation :I have a block and texts. I want to add the text string "(1.00) Z=190.98" to a new attribute of my block.Offsets between text insertion's point and block insertion's point are always the same offset x= 0.14 offset y = -1.25.Then the next step is to compute the value. Ideally, the attribute must have the calculated value 191.26-1.40= 189.86. Any ideas ?Thanks Arka

HiI have to migrate a bunch of FME scripts from PostgreSQL/PostGIS to MS SQL Server for every Reader and Writer. The straightforward way would be to just replace any Reader and Writer with its MS SQL Server version, and to modify any SQLCreators and SQLExecutors. Many days of work... Is there a more efficient way to handle this?Regards, Tobias
