Hi,I recently needed to run the same workspace (command line) with two different target setups, but I wanted to see separate log files for each run. Simplified example:fme.exe myworkspace.fme --p1 ABC --p2 DEFfme.exe myworkspace.fme --p1 XYZ --p2 KLMSo I had FME create a workspace parameter (--LOG_FILE) for this value. This value is normally blank, prompting FME to use the workspace file path with "log" extension.I.e. my setup had the first run without a value, and the second run with a value for the log file..However, I found out, that the value given in the second run are somehow reused in the first run at a later time !?!Is this a correct observation, that FME somehow caches the last parameter values given to the workspace, and reuses these whenever the same workspace is run at a later time (and no other values are provided) ??I got my two runs to work only when both set the "LOG_FILE" parameter.Cheers.

HiI have a workbench that takes a csv file and creates 10 csv files , 1 for each site - it does this using AttributeFilter. This works great but the csv reader gives the last 8 months of data with each month as a column. So the first version we ran had Nov to Jun. This latest month is Jan to Aug. So every time we run this the attributes change and I had to manually update this last time. Is there a way of automatically picking up new attributes from the reader and adding them to the writer (and removing any no long needed) please?I'd ideally like to schedule this with server but I can't unless this is automatic. Thanks

Using FME Server 2016.0 (build 16177), a NeighborFinder fails to do its job properly. Not all features input features result in output features in any of the output ports. Testing this on FME Desktop 2016.0 (build 16177), the issue - of course - remains. Testing this on FME Desktop 2016.1 (20160419), the issue is no more. It seems to me that this is a bug in either the NeighborFinder or the FME build. However, as both 2016.0 and 2016.1 use the NeighborFinder version 14, the latter seems to be the only logical cause for this behaviour.My question is this: Can I solve this problem without having to upgrade the FME Server version to a newer version? I need a workaround for this bug in FME 2016.0, using FME 2016.0.

This environment variable allows a developer to attach to the FME session to debug. In FME 2016, the workbench starts and I can debug or not debug the session. Now in FME 2017, the workbench never starts. Why?

I have an enterprise geodatabase, but no SDE services running. Can I use the sde writer to write to it?

I have a multipoint feature class in an Enterprise Geodatabase that I need to copy over to a File Geodatabase. The problem is that not every feature in the feature class has multiple points. Only ~2% of the features have multiple points, but it is critical I retain the option to have multiple points. The problem is that the FME File Geodatabase writer will only copy over just those features that are represented by multiple points (selecting multipoint as the geometry) or just those features that are represented by a single point (selecting point as the geometry). How do I get FME to accept all of the points as potential multipoints and write everything in the File geodatabase?

Some FME scripts developed in 2017 version are not working in 2016 version. See the attached zip file for details. It seems like the transformers that are not working in these specific scripts are 'DatabaseJoiner' and 'FeatureMerger'.What are the alternate solutions ?

Hi there!Working with FME Desktop 16.1.2.1 in a rather complex FME Workspace I decided recently to reorganize the FME Workspace such that it would become a little less complex to maintain the Workspace. Certain attribute values, that were used in multiple occasions in different parts within the Workspace, were before distributed based on FeatureMergers based on common attributes and attribute values (tempid = 1 for all incoming features) and making use of AttributeKeepers to keep the amount of data processing small and let only those attributes through that are actually needed. In that case the order of adding attributes to features is defined and this works splendid (but makes the FME Workspace perhaps a little more complex than needed and less elegant to read).In order to simplify the Workspace I decided to use VariableSetters and VariableRetrievers throughout the Workspace such that less FeatureMergers and hence less connections are needed, simplifying the Workspace. Now I am experi

Hi!I am trying to transform a dxf-file from SWEREF99 13 30 to SWEREF99 TM. I simply set the coordinatesytem to the one I want in the writer and executes. The result is a file that is more than ten times as big as the original. Why is this?Thankyou.

Hi,Is it possible to enforce the minimum password length for FME server from application? If yes, what is password policy and how to enforce?

Is it possible for FME to create a 100% Stacked Bar Chart, given the following scenario?I have 7 years of roadway data (2010-2016)Each year contains a count of miles classified as Good, Fair, and Poor. For example:2010, Good = 1217 miles, Fair = 302 miles, Poor = 77 miles, Total Miles = 1596For the same year, the percentages are Good = 76%, Fair = 19%, Poor = 5%Can someone please point me in the right direction for depicting this as a 100% stacked bar chart for years 2010-2016?Thanks!!

Many of our ArcSDE connections are OS Authentication and not username/password. How can I connect to the SDE instance with ArcSDEQuerier? It seems that the ESRI Geodatabase reader/writer uses a connection file but the Querier doesn't.

Hi Team,I need to find the solution for my problem. My Workspace has two Source - Shapefiles: - Point - Batimetry The Shapefile Point has a Attribute that represent the angle value: ground = 256.2000122. Using the transformer AttributeCreator i have a +- 5 degrees tolerante on top the attribute ground:Result: graus_up: 261.2000122graus_down: 251.2000122I would like to create a buffer oriented the values: 251.20000 until 261.2000 from the point.After i need to Lines ( Source Batimetry ) in a within tis buffer. I didn't find a transformer that make this possible. Attached my template file. Thanks, - Danilo

Hi, For some reason I have a problem wrapping my head around this and I know it might be easier to solve with a script.  I have a list containing different numeric values and each value has an index. How would I go about to subtract one value with the next based on the index? For example;  If index = 5 then subtract value5 from value4  If index = 4 then subtract value4 from value3 If index = 3 then subtract value3 from value2........ etc. There could be any number of values in a list so I need to somehow loop through all the values.   Thanks!   

Hi,I have just upgraded to FME 2017.1 and want to be able to add transformers using a single left click - like I could using FME 2016 - however it looks like it is defaulting to double click. Is this a setting that can be changed?I try to minimize the amount of double clicks because of RSI.

What is Maximum file size that i can upload to FME Shared Resource Data Folder?How can i limit or configure this file size?

Hi everyone! I'm new to FME (using 2016) and have a question that keeps bothering me.I have an excel sheet with inspection results from a different company, these are based on different parts of an object. Each row is a different part of the object, with a column with specific inspection results. If any of the parts of the object has a value in the inspection column, I need the entire object to be copied to an output sheet. If none of the parts of an object has a value, the entire object needs to go to a different output sheet.The input looks like this (simplified).And the result should look like this:The objects with any row that contains a value in InspectionResultThe objects with without a row that contains a value in InspectionResultIt seems so easy, it looks like testing on a group but I can't figure out a solution. I tried selecting (tester) only the rows with a value, make a list of unique value of objectnumbers (list builder) and merge them again to the original table (

Hi everyone,I am very new to FME having recently downloaded a free trial, so please bear with me.I work on a civil engineering project and the majority of our design data (AutoCAD 2013 DWG) is on the OSGB36 grid (Ordnance Survey Great Britain).To transform it to our local site grid I applied a series of modifiers (scaler, rotater, offsetter) then set a writer to output as DWG.We tested it with the largest of our model files and found that the output file was around 800Mb in size whereas the input file was only 200Mb. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?I am an Engineering Surveyor so I am rather unfamiliar with AutoCAD beyond simple commands & geometry etc, so the settings in the reader / writer don't mean much to me either!Thanks in advance for any help or advice.John R

Hi All,  I'm a novice. I have a MSSQL_ADO reader working on a non spatial table. My next challenge is to find the best way to iterate through a field in that table and use that value (which is a set of table names) to copy a Feature Class of the same name to another DB. I have done some reading and video watching on loops but haven't been able to implement anything that does feature by feature only the entire record set. If that's the best approach.  I've no problem writing loops in Python\\.NET or cursors in SQL Server but I'm trying to avoid code.  Regards, Richard
