Proper formatting for writing EXIF gps data to jpg

Hello,  I'm attempting to geotag photos with FME Desktop by writing coordinates to the jpgs with an AttributeCreator.  The following headers have been attempted with no luck: jpeg_exif_gpslatitude jpeg_exif_gpslatitude jpeg_exif_gpsmapdatum etc... which is how the data appears in the data inspector with a properly geotagged photo. The tag names from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/GPS.html were also attempted with no luck.  The proper data types were also considered.  Any idea of how to write gps EXIF data to jpg?  I know its possible with the exiftool and other third party apps but I'd like to keep it all within one workbench, without calling any other applications.  Thanks,  John

Missing exif in jpeg writer

Hi,  I have this workspace to add a geotag to a jpeg, based on a GARMIN glo GPS logger. I merge the GPS data with the jpeg by the date. When I take a look at the inspector merging seems to go well. But there is no exif information in the created jpeg (no original exif info and no latitude, longitude and altitude info). Anyone can help? I am new to FME.  Best, J.

Tiler for parallel processing failing in FME Server

Hello everyone,I am trying to utilize tiler for parallel processing in FME Server environment. Workbench that has tiler transformers and parallel processing enabled, runs fine in FME Desktop environment. However, if i try to run the same workbench via FME Server, it throws the following error:  Tiler_2_PointCloudTiler(PointCloudTilingFactory): The keyword TILE_ROW_ATTRIBUTE has incorrect arguments. The clause must look like: TILE_ROW_ATTRIBUTE <attribute name>, where <attribute name> is the name of a new attribute that will be added to output features  Any help with this issue would be much appreciated.  Thanks! Boris

FME Server 2017.1.1.1 Dashboard being emptied by itself

I have a strange issue where Dashboard seems to run (ran it manually) and within a couple of seconds, it is empty. Needless to say, no history is available, either....Cleanup is running things with a longevity of 1 week, so I assume that cannot be the issue....Anybody experienced this before ? This worked fine before in 2017.1.1

Transformer to change/set attribute value based on different conditions (not the attributecreator)

Hi,I'm trying to find a transformer that's able to create a new attribute, check my data for different conditions based on values from multiple different attributes, and subsequently add to the value of the newly created attribute WHILE these conditions hold true. Something like an "overall score attribute".I put while in caps because with the attribute creator there are only "if" statements. I'm not a programmer, but I know that with if statements, as soon as one holds true, the scripts stops. That is what seems to happen with the attribute creator transformer that I have been using. I could be mistaken of course. Like I said, I'm not a programmer.However, I don't want that. I want the program to keep checking all conditions and adding to the "score attribute". How do I do that?So basically something like this: if/while attribute1 >= 10, add 1 to new overall score attributeif/while attribute 1 < 10, add 2 to new overall score att

Excel to multiple DGN layers

I have a database of hundreds of assessment results for utilities. In FME, I have taken the utility coordinates from the database, joined into lines, sorted into 'pass' or 'fail' and organised by utility owner. This all works. I have done a microstation DGN writer for each e.g. electric 'pass', electric 'fail', gas 'pass' etc etc. I have also tried putting all outputs into one DGN writer. Neither gave me what I needed which is to have individual layers for each result and utility type, which can be switched on and off. I can't do a fanout (I dont think) because I need to fanout by an attribute and I dont have the results as attributes, but rather as sorted/styled data. Would I need to use an AttributeCreator, or is there a way in the DGN writer to get multiple layers in the DGN based on my sorted data? Thanks.

Excel Writer warning after moving to 2018 beta

I'm testing my current workspaces in FME 2018 Beta and i'm getting a new warning from an Excel Writer. WARN |Excel Writer: Attribute xlsx_row_formatting is empty, no row formatting applied  It doesn't seem like this warning is anything to be concerned about but i'd like to make any changes possible to prevent it from showing up as many times as it does while running. I can't seem to locate the much documentation on the xlsx_row_formatting attribute, so i'm wondering, is there any way to populate it to prevent the warning? Thanks!

Matrix of all unique values per attribute field of a dataset

Hi,I have a new source with poor metadata. I would like to create a quick overview of the dataset by producing a matrix, where I have each attribute field and all unique values within that field listed. With aggregator or duplicate filter I can easily do one. But I have close to 100 fields, so there must be a more clever way...Thanks for any suggestions!

FME Google Sheets Writer failing?

Hi There!We are having issues with the Google Sheets Writer timing out and failing. I worked with someone in Support & they were really helpful - but we didn't solve it. My boss was wondering - could it be a firewall issue on our side, and if so what ports need to be opened up to communicate? Thanks so much! Christen

Directory and File Pathnames - wrong timezone

We use a Directory and File Pathnames to extract filenames and path_created_date and store the value for all new files in a database.When we move to summer-time and winter time, it seems that FME gets 1 hour different and adds all files again. So I have checked the following, to see if the timezone settings were off:FME Server: own custom server - Western europe standard time - UTC+1 Database: MS SQL - Not sure File server: - Western europe standard time - UTC+1This is really annoying - and it would be great with a universal solution. Any tips or someone had a similar issue?
