Hi, is it possible to mix lod2 and lod3 geometries into a single CityGML file?

I have an FME Cloud instance and would like to scale up by increasing the number of engines.How do I do that, and how many engines can I have? Is there an extra cost?Also, what is the optimum number of engines, and what does that depend on?

I'm having some difficulty trying to use a private parameter as a path for a Data Reader. The difficulty stems from the fact that the value in the parameter is not literal but is calculated at run time (based on date). The parameter name is SourcePath and its value is a concatenation of a literal string and two other private parameters, which are based on a date. At runtime the value in SourcePath would look something like this:P:\\GIS Development\\Vicmap_Downloads\\2017\\20170606\\The workspace itself is very simple, consisting of a Directory and File Pathnames Reader, and a corresponding File Copy Writer. The reader obtains a listing of files in the directory, as specified in the SourcePath parameter. It then supplies this list of files to the File Copy Writer to perform the copy/paste. If I set the Data Reader folder path to a literal string then the workspace runs fine. However this is not workable as the path must be determined at runtime because it's based on current

Hello FME-community, I want to upload a workspace to FME Server and ensure this workspace always runs with a default priority of 50.Is there a way to set the default priority when publishing the workspace to FME Server?ORCan you change the default priority of workspaces once they are published at FME Server? I know you can assign a priority when launching a workspace by the FMEServerJobSubmitter transformer, but this is not my intention in this case.

Hi all,Whilst I'm relatively familiar with the basic functionality of FME a recent project has required me to get involved with SOAP web services. Having read some of the online documentation I've managed to setup a work space to contact the web service and receive a response (using a Creator, XML Templater, HTTP Caller and XML Formatter).I've successfully setup a work space to read in NHS local services and using the XML Fragmenter have exposed the attributes from the SOAP response under the ServiceTransferObject element.The NHS the response was cleanly structured (example below):...but the response from a 3rd party web service appears to be structured very differently. There are the expected Envelope and Body elements but the attributes I need to expose appear to be encoded within a single element, iData (example below):Is anybody able to assist with being able to access the attributes held within the highlighted area of the above example (basically everything under the

Fme server 2016I developed ONE fme file which reads from csv file and writes to csv. I Published this fmw to fme server. If I use Fme server’s user web interface it asks me to upload the csv file and loading to temporary folder and fme server knows this path. its working good.I am using my own web page(image attached) and calling fme server’s URL inside my web application.But when I run this fmw, fme cannot locate the source dataset(csv) in the server. How/ Where can I upload/keep my source csv file in the server ?, So that fme server can locate this filepath when called thru fme server’s url. I copied csv to server path and I redirected my source dataset to this uploaded file, it is not locating and gives error.Can you Please tell me how can I achieve this?

Hi @NatalieAtSafe,From this Q&A;: SMTP errorThe issue has been filed as C125117 (PR76958) and I was notified that it has been fixed in FME 2017.1 Beta already. I confirmed that the original issue has been resolved in FME 2017.1 Beta with Python 3.5, but the fixed Emailer newly causes this error when running with Python 2.7. I think the error apparently indicates that the implementation of the Emailer in FME 2017.1 Beta doesn't conform to Python 2.7 specifications.Emailer: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode Nearly two months have passed since I reported the error above, but it has not been resolved yet in the latest Beta build 17498.Could you please check the current status of the PR?

In FME there are more then one possibility of Spatial joins for the polygons and I have tried all.I have two polygon shape files, one is source and other is target.From source file (which includes some numeric fields) I want join data to target polygon where both polygon layers intersect. For text field this is not a problem but what I am looking for is a Spatial Join which can also add Mode of numeric field to the target layer.

Hi @NatalieAtSafe,I am using FME(R) 2016.0.1.0 (20160130 - Build 16174 - WIN64) desktop. In child workspace, i have changed the publish parameter type to 'Text (Multiline)'. In parent workspace, when i am passing two numbers comma separated in workspace runner, Comma automatically gets replaced by '<comma>'. Eg. I am passing '123,345' but it is passing '123<comma>345' to child transformer.

Hello,I'm working on a workspace that will update a AGOL Feature Service. I need to pull from two different data sources, normalize the attributes and do some additional processing in the middle then write updates to the master. Both source data sets are fairly large so I am trying to not have to read each of them in their entirety every time the workspace runs. Rather I would like to leverage a "Modified On" field in the source data to only read in features that have been modified since the last time my workspace ran. I plan to push the workspace I'm building to FME Server and then sschedule it to run nightly. Currently I use the "time stamper" transformer to park the current data/time when the workspace runs in a .csv file. My thought is that I could then read in that timestamp and use it in my WHERE Clause. That's the thought however, I cannot seem to find a way to leverage that timestamp in my workspace parameters. Does anyone have some experience tr

I have 8000 polygons of varying areas and shapes. I want to divide these into equal area polygons.I am looking for a similar functionality to the land parcel editor in ArcGIS. My shapes look something like this. I have already considered the options where we intersect the shapes with a fishnet. This doesn't suit my purpose as I end up small clippings on the edges. Also the number of newly created polygons will depend on the size of the original polygon. What I am hoping to achieve with the expert advice from FME gurus here is to divide each of the polygon into 4 parts having equal areas. Thanks in advance.  

Hi,I have searched everywhere but can't seem to find a solution to a this simple task.I want to remove all intermediate vertices from my polylines, result should be polylines consisting of just the original start and ending points.Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Dear All , We have a line with two vertices , we try to to shorten the line from the beginning to 10 meter using choper by length but not effect , Can someone help us archive this . Thanks ,

For example, I would like to add 40 meters to the current absolute value height.

I've heard that there are some users out there doing really cool things with python scripted parameters to help move workspaces between different FME Desktop installs and FME Server as well!!I'd love to know what FME users have been up to on this front! Please share your solutions.

Hello, I have a bit of a problem that I can't find a solution to. I have a list of directories and sub directories. Some contain shapefiles. Some contain tables, gdbs etc. Eg: S:\\NEW\\170530\\test.shpS:\\NEW\\170529\\NewData\\NewTest.shpS:\\OLD\\170428\\test.xlsxS:\\OLD\\170428\\MoreData\\MoreTest.shpThere are more folders within those dated directories. The root drive is always the same "S:\\"The root data directories (eg, OLD, NEW) will be provided by users as a user parameter. There won't be any navigating to those specific directories. How can I have a workbench that reads all the shapefiles nested in all those different directories, once the root data directory has been passed to it? Everything from the PATH reader up to the FeatureReader only specifies up to the dated directory based on user input. Eg:S:\\NEW\\170530I saved the directory path and passing the following to the FeatureReader: S:\\NEW\\170530\\**Now it works.. but with a couple of drawbacks. For on

I have set up my Geodatabase Writer but can’t write to it. The log file gives me this message: “Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.” even though I’m creating a new file geodatabase within my workflow.

I have a route and clip it against areas....but i need the result in order of the flow direction of the route.....which parameter sorts me that because now the result is in no order and when i put a count on it it is no logical order.So please help me... i think its no t abig problem for u guysThx Franco

Hi,I have a simple workspace. I read a file (interlis2) and have 4 parallel transformers attached (GeometryReplacers, followed by GeometryFilter and AttributeRenamer).When I run the workspace it crashes at exactly the same data row in my input file without any further error message except "fme has stopped working". Nothing in log file either.If I disable two of the four parallel transformers and run the workspace and afterwards disable them and enable the two remaing ones all data is read and written (Autodesk sdf3).Memory is no issue - FME just uses 500 MB, there is plenty left.Any ideas why that happens? I would like to run the workspace in one go.Thank you, Rob

My desktop administrator has installed the FME on the PC with Esri ArcGIS desktop. I'm not the administrator of the PC. After FME desktop installed, the FME Data Interoperability is listed in the Esri ArcGIS desktop extension for the administrator. When I login, my ArcGIS extension list doesn't include the FME data Interoperability. I'm not the administrator on the PC. Thus I don't have right to install any software. How can I use the FME Data Interoperability installed by the administrator in the ArcGIS desktop? Thanks in advance.Helen

Hello Team,I want to extract a direction of driving between address points using the API from gogglemaps. First i have the Origin Point and i need to find the next address ( point b for example ) from xls file. After from the point B find the next address ( point C ) and repeat this process 10 times. I believe the best way to do this is a loop in python. Attached my template file.Thanks in Advance,Danilo

Every time I open Esri ArcCatalog, I noticed that it is pulling an FME License from my floating license pool - this is quickly using up all available licenses!
