HI guys, I have a question, in FME 2017.1 when we execute a command line with the SystemCaller, the command is prompt in the log and the password is in clear .... Do you have any tips to fixe it ? (I was thinking to rewrite the log to erase or hide it) .  The passwords are from private parameters and contains the word "password" inside.

Hello,Is there a way to convert LiDAR Cloud Point (.las) to DEM Raster With Spectrum Colors Based On Elevation Values?I see the following post (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1345/creating-a-raster-from-a-point-cloud.html), but just hope the expert may show me how to colorize the raster image with Spectrum Color like following image:Thanks a lot,Reno

I am trying to create a workflow that checks a spreadsheet with new updated information against an older feature class. I am using FeatureJoiner to determine if there are any new or added rows to the spreadsheet so that ultimately, i will be able to add the coordinate points for any new rows. I have connected the unjoined left port of the FeatureJoiner to a counter transformer to determine how many new rows were added to the spreadsheet and therefore show the user how many new coordinate pairs need to be added to update the feature class. So far I have been able to generate an error message using a logger transformer (FeatureJoiner > Counter > TestFilter) to indicate if there are new additional rows, however I would also like to generate a message if there are no new rows added so that the user knows and so that they can be directed to another workflow. I have set the TestFilter so that if the counter transformer attribute has value it will lead to one Logger, otherwise it will l

Hi. I want to make a line from a single point (based on distance in meter), and then change the direction. I want to do this for multiple point. I have the line length, x and y coordinates, and line direction.  Line have to start from x and y point. I'm using FME 2015.   Thanks.

I download the example from the article "Batch Processing Using the WorkspaceRunner"When i run it an the fme2018 and don't change anything it works well. When i update the workspace runner to fme2018 ,it can not work any more. I don't know why. It troubles me a lot.This is the ordinary one?Then i update the workspacerunner

Hi,Using FME Server, I am writing a large amount of data to a gdb to then be zipped up, using the custom transformer ZipArchiver. It works until it reaches its 2GB limit and then fails with the following lines:Ideas for a workaround for this would be gratefully received! Is there a quick fix? Would Gzip work better?Kind regards

Hi,I have some errors coming up in FME Server when I'm trying to read in rasters which, when I'm running locally through Desktop, do not occur.I am reading in several GEOTIFFs using S3Downloader and saving them to a location. Then from that location I use a FeatureReader and send them to a VectorOnRasterOverlayer. (The vector features coming in are fine).As I said, running locally is fine, but through Server I'm getting the following warnings and errors:I appreciate this could be a simple fix but I'm new to raster handling in FME. I've already tried a few things using a GeometryValidator after the FeatureReader, such as processing measures containing NaN, but with no joy.Thanks in advance!

I have created a workbench that includes a DatabaseJoiner transformer that I want to pass a specific file too that will change each day (basically the file has the days date as its filename). However if I do this, I then cannot join on a field as the transformer reads the Dataset as a text string.I did try an alternative to this using FeatureReaders (excel and generic) and passing them the dataset, however that has its own problems identifying the data fields.What might be the best way to avoid these issues?

Hi everyone,Does anyone know how to convert DEM/DTM gray8 tif to rgb32 tif with the desired elevation color scheme by using FME Desktop?Gray8RGB32I know a lot of online GIS software may do it on the fly...but I am using MapGuide which seems allowing me to change the color scheme of my gray8 dem tif.Thanks a lot,Reno

Version 2018 of FME supports LAZ 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 but not LAZ 1.4 that was released on https://laszip.org/

Hello. I realize there are several different date range topics, and I can't seem to find one that applies to my needs.My goal is to query or tag records within 90-, 270-, 365-day date ranges based on CurrentDate. I have not been able to get anything to work with FME tools, but normally the SQL query would be:Select * from [layer] where "expiration_date" >= CurrentDate+90Any ideas?Thanks.

Dear FME community.I've Shapefiles in GDrive with folders and subfolders. This is the workflow :1/ I read them with GoogleDriveConnector, this is the result :2/ After I use a Tester for keep the *.shp files3/ I use a FeatureReader for read the files but that doesn't works.This is the complete workflow :Do you know how can I do that ?Thank you.

I would like to change the name of my data download zip (FME_xxxxxxx.zip) to something else. Is it possible to change this on the FME cloud instance?So how or where can i edit the file layout configuration file that can manage [AUTO_FILE_PREFIX <file_prefix> \\]?If searched for it but could only find solution that needed the terminal on a FME Server that was not FME Cloud.FME Engines  Filename: fmeEngineConfig.txt  Location: <FMEServerDir>\\Server\\  Purpose: Configure the FME Engines, including subsections, pre and post commands, and success and failure responses. For details, see Configuration File Layout.Info i foundhttps://knowledge.safe.com/questions/3809/zip-file-name-fmeserver-download.html http://docs.safe.com/fme/2018.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/ReferenceManual/config_file_layout.htm http://docs.safe.com/fme/2018.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/ReferenceManual/fme_server_config_files.htm https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/31991/create-a-custom

There is a transformer that does an operation similar to the repair geometry function of arctoolbox (ArcGis)?

Hi, I have a data set of lines that are part of polylines but i am missing attribute sequence. Attribute sequence is number (starting from 1) that represents order of lines for each polyline. Is it possible to add this attribute in a way that number 1 is first line of polyline, 2 second and so on? If not, how can I add this attribute regardless of position of lines in polylines?This is part of my data set. First column is ID of line and third one is ID of polyline. I need to add fourth column sequence that will have for example for polyline 0 line 142 value of 1, line 7 value of 2 and line 747 value of 3.

In our environment workspace development and published server are on different systemes, therefore the workspaces have to use not-previously-known fme web connections for communication, especially submitting calls to child workspaces.After some deliberation it seems that a scripted connection parameter that reads its value(s) from a configuration file would be the ideal solution to gain the necessary indepence of runtime environments.I found https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/844/setting-up-a-workspace-to-deploy-in-production-sta.html and https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/4296/set-published-parameters-in-a-python-startup-scrip.html but cannot figure out how to use these techniques for a connection parameter

Morning,I would like to create a UUID in my workbench as a parameter and call it at various points through my workbench. The issue I have is that currently it keeps generating me a new UUID every time I call it. I am using the @UUID() function.Is there a way to populate the parameter once and persist it thoughout the workbench so I can use it in filenames, database table names etc. Many Thanks,Oliver

The TestFilter does not indicate an error (in FME 2018.1; build 18502, win64).Normally an error is indicated by a red icon on the transformer However, when I use the testfilter and something is wrong I do not see this red icon. When I look at the "TestFilter parameters window" I still don't see that something is wrong. I need the look at the "Test Conditions window" to see what is wrong. This is indicated by the red row (see image below). It would be helpful if the icon would turn red and if you could see what is wrong in the "TestFilter parameter window".Would it be possible to implement this?

Good afternoon,Is there a new AVF writer that displays the updated attributes? Also, is there a way to edit the AVF writer attributes? Updating the attributes in the writer is grayed out and I am unable to update the writer. Thanks!David

Hello: I have multiple csv files that have the same number of attributes but some of the attributes have different spellings for the same attributes. Instead of adding multiple csv readers and eventually loading them into one (1) table in Oracle after some subsequent transformations, is there a way to bring the multiple files together and give the attributes the same name for the like fields?Below is a sample of what the file(s) would look like:

Ciao a tutti.

Hi,I'm just getting into adopting 2018 for my daily work.One thing immidiatedly annoys me in 2018, a feature that's been changed since 2017:Whenever I try to select a number of transformers inside a bookmark, using a selector rectangle, the bookmark moves !!!How do I turn this "feature" off ?I cannot really see why this (default) behaviour has been changed. The need to select transformers in a large bookmark outweighs the need to move a bookmark by clciking in the canvas, imho. Selection inside a bookmark has almost been made annoyingly cumbersome, Ctrl-Clicks and starting the rectangle selection outside the bookmark seems to be the only options now.Does it have something to do with the new collapsable bookmarks ?Cheers

I have a dataset with a local origo. It is based on UTM 32N.  I have been supplied with the seven parameters used for transformation into regurlar UTM 32N.Reading the FME documentation, I have tried to add a custom transformation using 7PARAMETER method, but I cannot access it from FME.  The closest I get is the Csmapprojector, but it is not cooperating: I cannot use my defined transformation as the local coordinate system is not defined.  (Having the parameters for the transformation already, this should be irrelevant - as it is in other software I used before). Trying to create a custom coordsys also isn't bringing me very far.  For some reason, if I have my custom Coord I cannot see my custom transformation.  And vice versa. From my MyCoordSysDefs.fme:COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF CustomerLocal.UTM-32N        \   DESC_NM    "Local for customer based on UTM32N" \   SOURCE     "Customer"                           \   GROUP      Project                              \   PROJ       UTM          

Hi allI have an attribute whose values are all written in PascalCase, for example "PleaseHelpMeOutHere".I'd like to add a space at any capital letter, making a more readable string "Please Help Me Out Here". I don't need to preserve the original attribute.To make it a little more complicated, some attributes have more than one capital letter, which I'd like to preserve (except for the last capital, which denotes a new word). For example "SOSHelpMeOutHere" becomes "SOS Help Me Out Here"My guess would be that using a StringReplacer with Regex would work, but Regex is a foreign language to me. I could always use a PythonCaller, but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. Thanks

Hi there,I've taken some tips form this thread on how to generate a PNG from my WMS layer:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/69989/requesting-wmswfs-and-saving-as-image-in-a-file.htmlIt works pretty good but it generates a PNG containing my entire WMS layer, where I just need a specific area based on a polygon I have. I've tried using the clipper but then the PNG writer generates no output (I'm guessing the clipper is only vector based) and I'm not sure what other transformers I can use to clip my WMS data. Rasters in general is a pretty new area for me in FME.Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
