 Bonjour,je veux d’automatiser le téléchargement et la mise à jour des données accessibles via les plateformes de diffusion de données géographiques (IGN : BDTOPO, BDCARTO, etc., OSM, DREAL…).Actuellement, je travaille sur la partie automatisation du téléchargement dans FME, qui consiste à moissonner ces données. J’ai déjà fait quelques avancées, mais je sollicite votre aide sur des conseils; liens utiles  ou des pistes afin d’approfondir mes travaux..En vous remerciant d’avance. 

Hi,When using HTTPCaller with an authorization header with a bearer token, the token appears in the log.How can I prevent this ?I’m using FME desktop and server version 2021 so LOG_FILTER_MASK doesn’t work. Updating the version is not a solution. The bearer token is obtained at runtime so I can’t put it in a private parameter (PP cannot be updated at runtime).Thanks.

In some tables stored in an Oracle database there are more than one spatial column.The reader can't read all the spatial columns but it reads onnly the first column it encounteres.how to read an Oracle multi spatial column table with FME Workbench?Emilio De Palma 

I’m wondering whether the dashboard workspaces for various versions are available online anywhere.I note that this question has kind of been asked before for a couple of reasons, most commonly that a restore and overwrites the dashboard workspaces of a new FME Flow installation.While it’s probably best practice to download the workspaces before the restore occurs, with the best answer for the previous question was for the workspaces to be attached (attachment is no longer available though), I’m wondering if it would be possible to have some hosted or available online, potentially via the FME Hub.As always, thanks in advance.

Effective August 1, 2025, Legacy products (all editions of FME Desktop and FME Server) will be deprecated and updated to FME Form and FME Flow. Annual Maintenance will be based on the list price of FME Form and FME Flow.https://fme.safe.com/pricing/annual-maintenance/I am interested to know how these updates (upgrades) will be done. Are these updates mandatory and will they be done automatically? If so, is there a risk of any errors?Our company has several Production servers with FME Server v2020.2 installed and we also have old versions of FME Desktop installed.

I have a requirement to modify the list attribute generated on schema port.Lets say my schema scanner have default attributes name, fme data type and native data type.I want to look on name attribute and find any of its elements have OBJECTID string and remove if it is present.I try to modify list attributes using python caller. It modifies the list elements when I overwrite using feature.setAttribute method it is not working and returns original schema attributes unmodified. Any help using python would be highly appreciable. 

I’m trying to output all property sets from IFC files into separate Excel sheets. So far I’ve found all of the property sets, their attributes and their attribute values. This is my data:What I would like to do is transpose this list into separate lists for each property set like so: After that I could simply write each list to separate Excel sheets, but this is where I get stuck. I create the sheets by feeding the writer from a DuplicateFilter, but how do I join each PsetAttribute to Pset as well as transpose the data so each PsetAttribute is a single column?I need to do it without knowing the exact names or number of property sets existing in each IFC file as well.

I am trying to create an automation using a trigger that watches a directory. If a file in the directory is added/created it launches an FME Workspace. However I keep getting the following error:2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410109 : (Automations) Creating link from trigger...3 2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410108 : (Automations) Creating dirwatch trigger...4 2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410112 : (Automations) Unable to assemble automation. There was an issue with component "Trigger". Publisher dirwatch does not exist.The same thing happens when I try add a trigger that watches an FTP? and I get the same error when trying to add a Publication under the Notification.What am I missing? Do I need to add something special for a trigger to work? is it possible that I am missing some part of FME?I am working with a FME FLOW 2024.1that is in a Azure Kubernetes cluster.Any help or hint that could explain the error is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone,I’ve created a python script that has the docx library and arcpy library imported in it that takes field values from a GIS feature class and writes it to a docx document successfully. I would like to trigger the python script to run every time that feature class in an enterprise geodatabase is updated.I am working in the 11.3 Enterprise Environment and have come across this support page regarding implementing webhooks and FMEhttps://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407414850061-Integrating-ArcGIS-Enterprise-Feature-Service-Webhooks-With-FMEI will attempt to do the above, but I have a simple question regarding the FME workspace itself.I have read up on the PythonCreator and PythonCaller transformers, with the PythonCreator not requiring an inpput. If all I want is an update to the GIS feature class to trigger the python script to run, would the FME workspace just have a PythonCreator with the python script in it and a logger? Or would it be more beneficial to have a Crea

Host Revit file has 137 linked files.  When I try to read even a small portion of these I get the error.Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'REVITNATIVE' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See logfile for more information.I’m using a FeatureReader linked to the Metadata.LinkedInformation output of the host Revit file (first strcating the LinkedFilePath and Name attributes).  I get this error even when I limit the input to one record.  Separately, a FeatureReader (along with Creator to initiate) can read one of these files. I saw a similar post where the answer was to change the FME_Temp folder.  I don’t think this will make a difference since I get the error when only trying one file.  I would try this but I need admin rights to set this up on my computer and I won’t be able to get that until next week.  Also, I would rather know for sure before I ask. Thanks in advance. 

I have a work process that inlcudes running FME jobs daily.I would like to automate logging of potential errors. To do so i am thinking of just reading the .log files from the workbench(es) and search for error as keyword to catch if something went wrong in the translation. I thought it would be straight forward to implement, but i cannot find a way to read .log files using FME directly. Instead I am thinking to use a python script. But I wanted to ask here if I have missed an easy method to check log files for errors.

Hi everyone,after opdating FME Flow from 2024.0.3 to 2024.2.1 I’ve noticed that there is a (new?) “Data collection” optione within the Security Options. We are using FME Flow via docker compose. Is it possible to disable the “Data collection” via a (Docker) environment variable so I don’t have to disable it manually after every update?GreetingsPeter

Hi All,I am working with lists and require some guidance on the below scenarioI have list which contains 'n' elements. I would like to add a sub-element to each element in the list.Assuming my list name called as "list{}"Example: (My list currently looks like this)    List{0}        element1        element2        element3    List{1}        element1        element2        element3    List{2}        element1        element2        element3    List{n}        element1        element2        element3        I would like to add new sub-element called "element4" at the end of each list element (i.e., add "element4" as sub-element below "element3" )        Expected Output (I would like to achieve something like below)    List{0}        element1        element2        element3        element4    List{1}        element1        element2        element3        element4    List{2}        element1        element2        element3        element4    List{n}        element1        element2        elem

Hi!I have a list, containing between 5 and 50 values (varying). How can I append a value to this list? I can only assume there has to be a non-pythonic way, but I struggle to find one. My approach was to use AttributeCreator, but I can't dynamically specify the position in the list. Had the list size been fixed, then that's a solution - but not in this case.Any ideas?

I have a process that writes a number of graphs to a folder on the network.  It works great in FME Form.  If I attempt to publish this workspace to FME Flow as a Job Submitter it doesn’t write the files to the folder at all like the same file does at the desktop level.  The output path is set up in an RCaller so there isn’t a Writer in the .fmw script like normal.  There are zero errors on the desktop side, and I have made sure the FME Flow portion no R packages are causing errors.  When I run this process, I receive zero errors in Flow, but none of the files write to the directory.  The end process would be that a person could upload a number of spreadsheets run this process from a webpage (Flow) and the output would show up in their department’s folder.  I read in the community about it possibly writing to another directory and I attempted to check that out without success.  Any help or guidance would be appreciated.  

I have a database NAME1.If I open them as Oracle Non-Spatial I can access the following tablesNAME1.AANAME1.BBNAME1.CCNAME1.DDNAME1.EEIf I open them as Oracle Spatial I can access the following tablesNAME1.CCNAME1.DD The database contains more than 50 tables. They must be transferred to POSTGIS database with a different schema name: name2I have already looked up some things in the community. But those are old posts and some transformers don't even exist. What is the best way to approach this? in short:Oracle NonSpatial tables and Spatial tables from 1 database to POSTGIS database with a different schema name. Who can help me and or has an example? Thanks in advance

Before the web presentation of Safe and FME changed to what they are now It was possible to find the zipped FMEData. Data that are pointed at in almost every exercise in the FME Academy, community postings and videos.The new FME page does not provide the “knowledge” structure anymore as before and all links in the community etc. are pointing straight into Nirvana.I can see that these resource now can be found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/FMEData, however, I cannot get a listing of the content of this bucket and I always end up with a 403. Without a listing it is impossible to guess the specific file I am interested in…Can somebody point me to an URL where I can get the latest version of the FMEData?

i have daily & repeated work in geospatial data and I did it manually it takes a lot of time 

Though experienced with reading WFS's, I'm a little bit frustrated about reading a WFS2.0 in the FeatureReader. It seems it is not paginating. Checking the WFS GetCapabilities, 'FeaturePaging’ is not mentioned.I want to query the WFS with a polygon. So that is my initiator. But I'm not sure whether the results exceeding the 50k or 100k or even 200k. That's why I want some sort of ‘FeaturePaging’. Anyone an idea on how to solve my issue? It's probably simple, but I can't see it at the moment.

Hello everyone, I have some published user parameters, and the choices will be retrieved from the database. Is there any way to have the user parameters to be updated automatically once the workspace opened? Thank you everyone.

hi !FME name machine parameter does it exist? I see the name of my computer at the beginning of the log but I don’t find where is this parameter.Thanks !

Quick Question.. I’m trying to use the SharepointOnlineConnector transformer to access/download contents in my OneNote, but no luck so far and now I’m questioning if this is even possible?I can’t find any examples or information of this anywhere. 

Today we saw this broadcast message from Safe Software on our FME Flow servers (2023.2.2):The link in the message is not working and I do not see any recent security issues. We have only external ports configured for dynamic engines and licenses. The FME Flow instance is not accesible from outside out network.I find a strange that they can create broadcast messages on our servers.That is all a bit suspicious, is anyone else experiencing the same?
