I have an automation with several workspaces in series, the last one taking results from the previous and sending them as a series of API requests to a software. general outlinethe software has an antiforgery token that has to first be requested, then updated, so the final POST ends up being the 4th HTTP Caller. API Call WorkspaceThe problem i’m having is slowing down the rate at which concurrent API calls are happening, so if multiple requests hit at approximately the same time, one of them will fail due to not receiving a new antiforgery token.High priority has a second engine assigned only to it, and this is the only workspace that utilizes that job queueRetry Settingsi have added a queue to the workspace runner, with it’s own engine, I also added a decelerator to the beginning of the workspace with a 20 second delay  in the hopes that the “first” API workspace would complete before the second one started, but, so far it has not been effective. when it fails, it fails with an empty

Hi everyone,i try to import an Auxiliary trail created in Smallworld to FME for further intersections with different smallworld objects (using the SBS Plugin). Unfortunately it seems that FME cannot read the XML file correctly as i cant see any geometries. I used the XML (Extensible Markup Language) reader but maybe another reader might be better? or might a writer be useful to extract the geometries? I attached the XML file an hope that somebody has an idea what to do. Thank you!  

Hi All,I’m having some issues to filter raster pixels by the band expression using the RasterExpressionEvaluator tranformer,What the expression to select the pixels with the following band combination B(0)=64; B(1)=128;B(2)=104? I have used the following settings but hasn’t worked: Any ideas please? :)

Hey Everyone!its just a curious doubt…Can we solve snapping errors on Fme form?

Hi.I have a problem where I have a local counter (_count) that adds a counter to each feature that passes through. I also have a list of numbers I want the counter to ignore. Eg 1 to 10,000 but ignore the 244 numbers in my _ignoreList, which is dynamically created. 1,2,3...39,40,42 (ignore 41 because its in my list)Any ideas on how I would go about this?All help is greatly appreciated.Regards, Paul

Hello ,I am checking duplicate consecutive points It is clear that issue locations port show one vertex of duplicate point with coordinates (x,y).i would like to know the two vertex that duplicated then  I choose one of them to cancel .but it show me only one vertex .How could I achieve it ? FME 2021 

Can anyone help me, I am going to build an indoor 3D model in FME through CAD floor plan, when I import the CAD drawing into FME and execute the stretch command, open the inspector I find the coordinates, and find that the values related to the coordinates are all 0, and the coordinate system is also the location, in addition, after finally converting the CAD file to CityGml format, I opened it with Notepad and found that it was all null values, how to solve it

Hi Everyone I see that there is a .bcf writer available in fme:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/bcf/bcf.htm The documentation mentions that .png "snapshots" should be created for the writer. To my knowledge I have not seen any way to take images from fmes workbench viewer or inspector, therefore I assume you will have to create your own pngs for this.. Has anyone had a go at trying to write .bcfs in FME? I would love to see some best practices or how tos for this writer. RegardsFred RegardsFred

I am basically doing AttributeValidation but am looking to find values that are blank or empty. Looks like I can't look for blanks or empty's within the AttributeValidation transformer. So, right now I have a testFilter that is checking each field if it is blank or empty. I am using a TestFilter because then I can specify each of the fields that I want to be checked. The problem is that if one record goes through the tester and on the first test we find out that field is blank, then I believe that same record will not go through the rest of the tests. I need to know each field is blank, not just the first one. I am looking for a suggestions on how to do this efficiently. I am basically running a QC process on a large dataset. We have a bunch of business rules that need to be followed. So I am setting FME up to check all those rules. If a rule is broken, then an email will be sent to the person that introduced the error and then they can go back and fix the error. So this one st

Hello,I generate a data pool from various data sources with identical attributes, which I filter and sort using various criteria. From these results I create several lists (Top50), which I output in an Excel table with the XLS writer. In principle, this works well, but I would like to insert a blank line between the output lists or output the lists from a certain line in the Excel sheet.I tried to integrate this blank line into the list using a new entry, but only managed to do this using the Python caller, which I wanted to avoid. If the list did not contain 50 elements, I did not manage to output the second list in a specific line again.My question now is, how can I start the output of the N.th list on the 55th line (without using the Pythoncaller. Furthermore, I have not found a way to output a list in the 55th row in column K. Is there a possibility for this in FME?Thank you very muchTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)

As I am newbie in FME software I’m looking for a help.I have two sources with lines and I have to point the places where lines are not connected.Is that possible using some transformers? Please look at screenshots and data I’ve attached.   

Hello everybody :-) we have a QGIS Project (.qgz) with 2 Layers, which we want as GeoJsons export. If possible uploading them into a FTP Server.Can we do this using FME? I have searched a bit and I do not find any Readers for QGIS… Thanks in advance! 

I have a flow based around a main SQLExecutor that runs of different levels of aggregation depending on the input parameters, and the most conveinient and efficient way of doing that is to add or remove parts from my SQL query based on said parameters. While the problem looks simple on its face, I have not been able to find a good solution for that.As evidenced by the following thread, FME doesn’t have a function for this kind of conditional string substitution. The best it has is the ternary operator.However, said ternary operator is only supported in the Math Editor, not the Text Editor that SQLExecutor uses. The next best thing I have found is to use the @Evaluate function to give me access to Tcl’s ternary operator, provided I can express these sections of my query in a way that is valid in TCL.select @Evaluate("$(WHOLE_DAY)==YES ? {date_trunc('day', period_start_time, 'America/Toronto') as period_start_day,} : {}") @Evaluate("$(COMPUTE_HOURLY)==YES ? {date_trunc('hour', peri

Hello ,i would like to remove specific index of a vertex coordinates from a line .then build the line without this vertex .How could I achieve it ?  my second question :How could I find which index vertex coordinates so close to next index coordinates ? then filter it to keep only one of them.thanks in advanceFME 2021  

Is this possible?I would like to create a self service map generator. There will be basically 2 paths that the user can go, interior or exterior maps, and features (door points, fire alarms, bike racks, etc) can be chosen to be turned on and shown in each map. This data all lives in an ever evolving SDE. And my idea is that all the parameters the user picks will be building an ArcPy script that is manipulating an ArcPro project.I’m laying out the base plan now, and would like to gather some ideas/input before starting off.Here’s an example of what I want this service to do, and my initial thoughts of going about it:Basically the user selections from the parameters will build an ArcPy scriptI will have 2 ArcPro Map projects, one for Interior, one for Exterior The user will select if they’d like to see the interior/exterior. If it’s interior; the interior ArcPro project has a map series created from every floor of every building from the “floor” layer (field called bldgFlr). Therefore w

Y’all.I thought it was possible to export a single automation, and install it on another server ?But now I can’t seem to find this feature anywhere (on 2022.6).They’re backed up in the general configuration backup, but you can’t restore parts like a single automations from a backup.Am I missing something ? What to do ?Cheers.

Hi,I have a workspace to translate a Shapefile to DGN. The shp file has a attribute wich I can filter data to output in three different levels. In this levels, two of them, only have contour style, but the other one is full. When I write DGN file, the level with full style is on the top, so the other levels are hidden under this one. I've tried to put the level number in an attribute called idgs_level, but it doesn't work. I've also tried to put the level number in the writer parameteres, but doesn't work. The issue is, how can i control the order of the levels?Thanks 

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of jobs which can be queued on FME Server/Flow?

I am having a problem with the counter transformer in multiple workbenches on multiple machines: It ofthen does not start at the set value (ussually 0 or 1). For instance; The counter in the image is set to start at 0. However: When I run the workbench it starts at 577. I have no clue at al why it does that.  When I use featurecaching and I run the whole workbench one by one transformer it will start at 0. But ONLY when I manually start every single transformer before the counter. I have this on this machine and another computer in completely different workbenches. I use the counter to merge features. the workbench stops because it can not merge features based on wrong counts.  

I would like to know the name of the localization language file for FME FORM 2024. I know that the localization language file for FME Desktop 2020 is named transformers-localized.* (for example, transformers-localized.zh). I want to know if the new version has changed the name of this file.

Hi everyone, I have an Excel file containing SQL WHERE clauses used as Definition Queries in an ArcGIS project and I want to use the same SQL WHERE clauses in my workspace to create subsets of my data. Is there a way to "convert" these SQL clauses to Tester test clauses? I managed to do a lot with some StringReplacers, to the point where regular (att1= 'this') and list clauses (att2 IN ('this', 'that')) are covered, but I also have a lot of LIKE clauses (att3 LIKE 'th%') and I can't seem to get these translated to Tester's Begins With .  I know about the capabilities of the FeatureReader's Constraints, but in my analysis I need both the entire dataset I am querying AND the SQL-clause-derived-subset. And I want to prevent reading in the data twice, since that slows down my workspace a lot. Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi,I’m massively confused on why certain machines in our office cannot connect to our Floating License Server. We previously had 2 floating licenses (esri edition) and bought a third seat; we then consolidated all three licenses under one Smallworld line item according to this article. To test, I opened FME on one machine, redirect the licensing assistant to use the new smallworld licenses, and everything works great. When I test on another machine however, I can’t connect (previously could). In the error diagnostics, FME is saying that it can see the FME Licensing Server correctly over the server and port information I provide, but won’t connect. I included some text from the diagnostics below:“Connected to a license service running on standard port 27000 on server MYSERVER”“The license service running on port 27000 on server MYSERVER (IP) does offer FME licenses. It provided the following license information: safe: UP v11.15.0 Users of FME: Cannot get users of FME: Timeout. (-139,100

II read from a FGDB do some processing then I want to write back (update) to a field in the same FGDB.  I have a FeatureHolder immediately  after reading the FGDB to force complete reading before writing.  The Where clause  make sure I only update records with matching PremiseIDs (original source data and stream data).  I only want to update one field but I don’t see how to specify that field in the FeatureWriter.  In a AttributeManager before the writer I remove all other attributes than the one I want written.  Not working.
