Hi,I have a fgdb, I want to drop all existing features classes within the fgdb and write in a new one. Is this possible?ThanksB

Out of the blue, I've started getting the below error message with my workspaces running on flow which talk to SharePoint: FME Flow error logI did some of my own digging, and found this community post:where the user had a similar issue. I have uninstalled my sharepoint package (1.1.6) and downgraded a version but it still doesnt work. I also upgraded it to 1.1.7 for good measure and that also didn’t fix the issue.  I am not downloading these packages directly off of hub because my install is on a remote server, so i have to copy the packages across before installing. I know partial installs can occur doing it like this, but error came out of the blue and I’m not sure why. There was an OS upgrade on the remote server prior to this, but if something was inadvertently deleted, I would have thought that reinstalling the package would restore what was missing. FME Server 2022.2.5Build 22795 - win64 Thanks :)    

Out-of-the-box, FME Flow has an admin login for administration (member of fmeadmin and fmesuperuser).As a measure of added security, can a different, less common, login name be used for administration? In other words, if I were to create a login for administration purpose named MickeyMouse, add MickeyMouse to fmeadmin and fmesuperuser roles, and disable admin, does that work? Are there gotcha’s with doing that? Is it a measure of added security?

Hi,I would like to setup a FeatureReader to read all the XML files in a onedrive folder.  My OneDrive (graph) connection works and I’m able to view the contents of my folder.  I am able to select individual files to read in the FeatureReader parameters but I want to be able to read all XML files.  How would I go about accomplishing this?  Thanks in advance.

We have recently upgraded FME flow to the latest 2023.2.2. I am having difficulty locating runtime errors for the job because when you click these runtime errors it will take you to the logs section where you have multiple logs. It's difficult to find which log file has this error. Previous versions directly took you to the error description while this version is not. Please guide me if I am doing anything wrong.Thank you, 

Hi All!

Hello, my previous post was not well Described apparently, i need to split .las just like that. please if you suggest any workflow do describe it a little more than just the name of transformer as that is usless for me (i dont really know how to use FME) 

Hi All, I’m trying to dissolve thousands of polygons from different feature classes into a single shape in FME. The idea is to obtain a single external boundary after merging/dissolving all the polygons. The current dissolve transformer gives me an error while trying to dissolve the polygons.Parameters in the dissolver are set to default.Is there any ‘hard dissolver’ option to merge the following?  Thanks :)

Hello to all,I need to add a missing property into an existing Pset. I tried the workbench shown by Liz in the post “Updating IFC example” but it doesn’t work in my case. Before testing with an Excel sheet contaning GUID and properties to add, I just test to add manually a single property:First, I created 2 attributes:Then I used the GeometryPropertySetter:With the XQuery:I find my previous properties in the “Proprietes” Pset, but I don’t have the new one “TypeVitrage”. Did I forget something or do I have to use “IfcPropertySetDefinitionCreator” ? Thank in advanceBest regardsBruno

I’m new to FME tool and I wanted to pull data from Google BigQuery tables and convert into GeoDatabase and shapefile. I'm using FME Workbench version 2024.1.1 and I'm experiencing an issue with using Google BigQuery as a reader. But I’ve installed Google BigQuery as a transformer and attempted to pull data, but no data is being retrieved. I’ve also authenticated using a service account key file, but the data still isn’t showing up.

Hello community!I am working on an analysis to calculate the percentage of incline or decline from railway level crossings. This means the incline or decline along the road that crosses the railway.The desired result is six percentage values. Three for each side of the track (viewed in increasing kilometer (M-value)). The three intervals are 0-4.5 meter, 4.5-8 meter and 8-18 meter, measured from the outer edge of the railway track.It is desirable that the length is measured along the road.Decline from the level crossing should be shown as a negative percentage value, and incline as a positive percentage value. Based on the client's wishes, I have divided the analysis into smaller tasks:Add a property that shows whether the road lines are on the right or left side of the railway, viewed in increasing kilometer (M-value). I have tested the LeftRightSpatialCalculator, but for some unknown reason it always gives me the same side on both sides. I see that TopologyBuilder is mentioned in the

One feature has 40 vertices and the other 41, but ChangeDetector using “Lenient Geometry Matching” option says they are the same. It's right?  

Hi folks, I’m trying to execute a python script using Python Creator. The flow is running as expected also with expected outcome, but its giving this error - I have checked the updates is FME package but still not working.Not getting why this error is occuring. If anyone has any idea about it, kindly help. Thanks in advance.     

Basically here is the need: right now workbenches run (Using FME Desktop 2020.2 and Task Scheduler) and the email addresses are typed out within the Emailer Addressing "To" parameter.We would like things to be more easily updated. For example, if someone is no longer on the team, or if someone is new on the team, we would like to simply update a text file and ALL of our jobs will be updated. I tried reading the text file in, aggregating the addresses into one long string separated with a comma, but I wasn't sure how to assign the value to a User Parameter.(I tried a couple things and failed) Thanks in advance for your help.@danminneyatsaf​ 

Hi community! I've been trying to formulate an efficient workspace that would:Extract feature service URLs from an excel sheet (many have the item ID number at the end)Download the GIS data from each feature serviceTransform the idea with typical cleaning upWrite out to a file GDB on a local server drive For steps 1 and 2, I've been experimenting with HTTPCaller and FeatureReader but haven't yielded a successful extraction yet. I think 3 and 4 will be straightforward, but if there any any suggestions (specifically with getting from 1 to 2) welcomed, and appreciate any feedback in advance!

Trying to free up some space on our existing FME Flow server and noticed that there is a folder on the root C: named “FME” that have various FME installations folders. In each of those folders, there is .cab and other installation (.msi, .exe, .log) files. The total file size of these folders is ~50GB on the server!I cannot find any documentation that states that is okay to remove these files.  Does anyone have any information about these?Thanks for any help!-Cameron

I am reading dynamic data and sometimes there is text fields that contain newline characters and I would like to replace them with just a space. How would I go about this?   

I want to loop through the list ‘attribute’ in a PythonCaller and change some values, but I get an error.

Hey all,So I upgraded FME Desktop to 2024.1 (through ArcGIS Pro installation) and opened up an exisitng workspace I had created in a previous version. When it opens I get the message stating:Transformers are used that are not installed: 'CenterlineReplacer (version 6)'https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/centerlinereplacer.htmWhy is this happening? I have no option to upgrade the existing transformer and it disappears from my workbench and when I try to search to add another ‘CenterlineReplace’ transformer, it is missing from the list.I have ran a repair on the installation but it is still missing.

Hi folks,I have multiple images I need to extract blob data for. When I input my individual feature types into the Raster Extractor (eg. 32 JPEGs, as shown in image below) the raster extractor seems to duplicate the first image for all of the feature types, so I end up with a blob of the first image for all of my individual feature types:This results in the first image duplicated, as a blob, for all 32 features - when I require a unique blob value for each input feature. The only workaround I’ve found is to have a raster extractor for each feature type, which is not suitable.Any help is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Aaron

I have successfully POST Authenticate using postman. But have no luck using HTTPCaller? Any idea please? 

Hi I have a requirement to connect to the new Ordnance Survey (GB) WFS service in FME, their system responds with 100 records at one time, there doesn't appear to be an option in the reader to facilitate this paging implementation as in other products Any help to be able to access this API would be greatly appreciated

I am using a python Caller to determine if a value is in a range of two other values which are read from a csv file.For Example:  Is SearchValue LMH_HNR_Z in the range of value PTOa and value PTOb? If yes, set the variable Fall = B3, if not set it to B3f.LMH_HNR_Z = 5, PTOa = 1, PTOb = 10 should return: Fall=3B, LMH_HNR_Z = 11, PTOa=1, PTOb=10 should return: Fall=3Bf  The Code in this picture is part of a bigger function where I discovered the problem but I narrowed the problematic part down to this. The row where the problem happens is this:if (min(PTOa, PTOb) <= LMH_HNR_Z <= max(PTOa, PTOb)):What happens is, that this request randomly returns false even if the search value LMH_HNR_Z is in the range of PTOa and PTOb. The output of some tested values and ranges is also visible in the lower part of this post. I can’t really see a pattern there, maybe one of you?Is someone aware of a bug that causes this behavior? I am using FME Data Interoperability, FME(R) 2022.2.1.0 (20221202 -

For my process, I use pythonCaller and I have a JSON-type attribute. However, since the setAttribute function doesn’t recognize the JSON type, I have to use json.dumps() to convert the JSON into a string. I then connect a featureWriter to the output of pythonCaller to write the result in JSON format. However, I don’t understand why the featureWriter reformats the JSON on input. How can I have a correct json formatHere is an example of the file from featureWriter [ { "result_json" : "[{\"millesime\": [{\"2022\": {\"echelles\": {\"Y\": {\"max\": \"20.39\", \"min\": \"18.11\"}, \"X\": {\"max\": 461.0, \"min\": 0}}, \"resultats\": [{\"distance\": 0, \"pixel_value\": \"20.39\"}, {\"distance\": 425.0, \"pixel_value\": \"19.76\"}, {\"distance\": 265.0, \"pixel_value\": \"19.4\"}, {\"distance\": 461.0, \"pixel_value\": \"18.11\"}]}}, {\"2023\": {\"echelles\": {\"Y\": {\"max\": \"2039\", \"min\": \"1811\"}, \"X\": {\"max\": 461.0, \"min\": 0}}, \"resultats\": [{\"distance\": 0, \"pixel_value\"

Hi all, I would like to use an existing FME reader to open a file with an unsupported extension. Is there a workaround to achieve this? Alternatively, how can I clone an existing reader and modify it to support the desired file extension? Thanks a lot! 🤓hp
