Hi all,Workspace A is uploaded to FME Server as a Data Download and Job Submitter Service. Several files are written in the workspace (excel, sdf, json, txt) and -logically- they appear in the output .zip package of the data download service.   Problem: A FileCopy writer is used to copy a .dwg file to the output folder. Because the files for the .zip package of the download service are stored an a temporary folder on FME Server, it is not yet possible to have to .dwg also in the download package. The Job Submitter does its job and all my files are written correctly (including the .dwg file). The data download .zip-package does not have this .dwg file and that is my problem. I just need the URL or the location of where the files for the download package are temporarily stored on FME Server, so I could use this URL as a parameter for the output location in the FileCopy Writer.The documentation online told me this should be the 'FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR' parameter? But when I use this

We are running FME Server (2015.1.0.2 - Build 15482 - win32). Engines and licenses seem to work properly, jobs can be started and are processed by FME Server. Since we want to downsize the number of engines used, we try to follow procedure as described under "FME Server Web User Interface > Using the Interface > Configuring the Number of FME Engines to Start" which states: "Change the Engine Count field to the desired number of engines, and click Change Number of Engines"However, when we log in using an account that has superuser privilege, the list of Available Engines is there and shows 2 engines, but there is no "Engine Count" field nor "Change Number of Engines" button. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi all,I am currently creating Voronoi polygons (using the VoronoiDiagrammer) and I can use the Clipper to cut the polygons created using polygons from another layer (Layer B). Is there a way to constrain the created Voronoi polygons to this other polygon layer before clipping? i.e. All information in the points used to create the Voronoi polygons, should stay within the bounds of the polygons of Layer B which they are contained in. Many thanks. Edit: Please see diagram added below as a sample. I would like the create Voronoi polygons from the purple points only to the edge of the green polygons. UPDATE: SpatialFilter to remove polygons with no points within them. Clone & Offsetter (x2) to ensure there are at least 3 points in every polygon. PoinOnAreaOverlayer to insert foreign key to the points from the PK of the polygons.VoronoiDiagrammer with Group By parameter set to the foreign key field. Dissolver to remove the small triangles. Clipper to clip back to to original polygons. W

Folks, I know I am missing something simple here. What I am trying to do is convert polygons from a shapefile to a dwg while conserving the attribution. The shapefiles are polygons and may or may not have multiparts and donut geometries. As such it seems a mpolygon is the best fit as an AutoCAD datatype.Something similar has been asked Here: Shape to AutoCAD with attributes by @lmerino but no answer I can get to work.I have the cad writer set to extend entity dataHowever when I look at the output in CAD the polygons are coming through as blocks. @Mark2AtSafe suggested using a Deaggregator transformer but I am not sure how this will help. I have done as @erik_jan suggested and added autocad_entity set to autocad_mpolygon via a AttributeManager and everything in the target drawing will then end up as a mpolygon as desired. However there is no attribution.Sample data: Edit: Seems that using a different writer such as Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data ends up with the desired outpu

It seems to me that once the Control vectors are sent to the AffineWarper that a single Affine transform could be calculated and applied to all Observed Features as they come through.

Hi,I have table with over 7000 records, and I only want to pass the top 10 or so for testing purposes. I know that you can specify the number of records passed in the initial Reader, but is there a transformer that allows you to do this part-way through your FME workflow?Thanks

I have an AutoCAD model that I'm trying to convert to GIS, but I can't seem to figure out whether it is possible to read Layer Filter information in any way. The model uses both Group and Property filters. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to whether this functionality already exists in FME Desktop? And if not, is it something that would be possible? I'm not even sure how layer filters are saved/accessed in a DWG, and I guess I wouldn't expect them to be attached directly to an object. Thank you!

Hi,I'm using FME to check the log files of previous runs, testing for errors.I'm now getting notifications of errors in a set of log files, that has been generated by running a workspace via "WorkspaceRunner". The error is bogus, however, so it messes up my overview by cluttering it with false positives.The dependent workspace is called with two parameters: the path of the (xml) file to check, and a path to the desired log file. This log file path contains a dash, so I get this error:BADNEWS: String value `WorkspaceRunner_DanDas: Running FME Workspace xxxxx.fmw with command line:' contains invalid characters and could not be converted into an integer (stfutil.cpp:802)A typical log file name may be: CONTROL ARWOS XML - TV-Inspektioner.logHow can I avoid having FME attempt to do a bogus subtraction in my string value ??Cheers

Hello everyone I try to extracted from a character string the end of a block separated by a / for example _temp / resources / temp / 2017072_email / 12-680-RER @FindRegEx (@Value (_temp), /, - 1 ,,) I can not find the right syntax to look for the character / starting from the right And then cut the block with a @right at the position of the / thank you for your comeback

I have an attribute with integer value called number of folders x for a single feature, and I would like to create X number of features. so I can create c number of sub-folders using filecopy.

Does anybody know how to replicate this with FME? http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/analysis/tabulate-intersection.htm

Here's one of them brain foods...How to vertically flip raster?Right now, my idea is to extract numbers of columns. Tile whole raster by number of columns (RasterTiler), offset them by _columns-column_number and mosaick them (RasterMosaicker). And that works...But that can be a really long proces (depending on dimensions of raster). Does anybody have any less time consuming idea?

Hello everybody, i have an xml file metadata, and i am converting it into another metadata standard. i have mapped both but problem is created by list values.

How can I get it in final xml file?Thanks

Hello,please, I have one issue which is complicated to solve. I attached pic below. My situation is following: there are many waterlines - red ones are connector lines, other colored lines are part of main waterlines. What I need is to join lines of main waterline just between manhole points (points with M label). Unfortunately, there is not any common attribute :-(Please, Do you have any idea, how to solve this problem?Thank You very much!Lubo

Hello Everybody, We have two FME server installed. None of them we cannot accesible from outside server. I need to make it web accesible. Please guide me. Because I want to got the data download or to run a workspace using the generated URL from outside. Thanks

I frequently use batch scripts to run series of workbenches in cmd.exe. I would really like to see the contents of the 'transaction window' or log file displayed in the cmd.exe window. I know I can look at the logs, but that is an extra step and not as useful.Normally what displays is something like this, which doesn't explain what is happening in the transactions window or log file. I really want to display this stuff in real time (not after the transaction complete): Have I missed something, or is it not possible. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,if you try to write aggregates in AutoCAD you'll get block, which is kind of unwieldly, especially if you need to modify geometries in AutoCAD.As it looks like groups can't be written (only read) using FME.I'd like to ask you, what are your experiences with this. Are there some other workarounds...Thanks in advance,Želimir

Hi,We have many schedules with FME Server. I disable a schedule in http://.../fmeserver/schedules but the job starts anyway. If i restart the windows service, the job is not started.May be there is a glitch in subprocess of scheduler. How to fix this issue ?Thx

Hi everyone,I am having trouble with downloading SDF output as a data download service.The workspace itself is really simple:- 1 SDF reader, reading a file containing 10 features;- 1 transformer;- 1 SDF writer, creating a file containing 10 features.  When this process is executed from the FME Server environment as a job submitter service, there is no problem. When the same is executed as a data download service, I can see in the log that 10 features are written. The download link also shows the output .sdf file, but it contains 0 features in data inspector (instead of 10). When we write to e.g. shapefile as a download service, there is no problem.   So, to summarize, it appears to be impossible to use SDF files in a data download service?   I know it has worked before, so I am wondering if anyone had the same problem? Suggestions how to solve this?  Thanks in advance!

Hello, my goal is to delete a previous' week file from google drive and upload the file of the current week on a weekly basis.  The file name changes weekly.  This week I would like to delete report_201729.xls and upload report_201730.xls, next week it would be report_201730.xls to delete and report_201731.xls to upload. The upload is working fine with the Google Drive Connector transformer of FME 2017, but I have troubles to delete the previous' week file. The transformer doesn't have a file name option, only an Object-ID, but this ID changes weekly. How can I solve this problem? Thanks!

Hi, I noticed that a custom transformer belonging to the category "Format Specific" (singular) cannot be uploaded to FME Hub. I guess the reason is that Hub doesn't have that category. There is a category called "Format Specifics" (plural) instead.Is it intentional that the category names are different between Transformer Gallery and Hub?
