I’m trying to repeat the same process on each group of features that represent each door (every door consists of many features having the same value of door_id) . on the other hand , the process that i want to create is detecting that line on green for each door and drawing it using the LineBuilder  .So for exemple ,if in my input i have : 200 features , every 30 or 40 features share the same door_id value (so there are say 6 doors in total )my output : 6 features (each feature is that green line , with the attribute door_id)

I am using FME Flow 2021.  Is there a way to add Active Directory User Names and credentials into FME Flow? Sort of like SSL/SSO with ArcGIS Enterprise.  My goal would be to be able to use the same user credentials I use on our network for logging into FME Flow.  Currently, my FME Flow has a domain user name, but the user names in FME Flow are built in. 

I have a collection of as built drawings stored as PDF’s and wanted to automate the creation of image files being used as thumbnails in a web application. I was wondering if anyone has done this before. I am currently using the Workbench 2018 PDF reader and attempting to rasterize using either ImageRasterizer or MapnikRasterizer.

Is there anyway to read in attachments while using the FeatureReader transformer. I know there is an option with the ArcGIS Online Reader but I don't know my Where Clause until after certain point in my workflow. Feature Reader was working perfect until I realized I couldn't read in attachments. Any help would be great!

Hey. Hey. I need some way to automate adding a time interval to a script in pythoncaller see attachment. I have a regular WS which I don't publish directly to the server, however it is not a problem to publish to the server, I have it available as well. It depends on whether the automation will be handled within some workspace or by some setting on the server, I don't know what your advice implies.So I have a calendar created in postgress DB see attachment, where I have airac_start and airac_end values - this is the time interval. I need to add these values to a script in pythoncaller ( there are two in WS ). This addition would happen by pasting the source files somewhere on disk ( probably watching for a change in the contents of the folder would be like a trigger ), which would start the whole process and depending on what cycle should be running, the airac_start and airac_end values would be added to the script. Can anyone think of any way to automate this thing? The way I work now

 Hello,I have installed a fresh install of FME Form 2023.2.2 on a Ubuntu VM with Azure. When running workspaces on FME Form 2023.2.2 with workbench, everything runs smooth. I have imported a manual license to the licensing assistant.However, I am trying to also install some python packages on this Linux VM. So we can transfer this to our Kubernetes Environment which also runs on Linux. We cannot install these packages on a Windows Machine cause they won't work on the Linux.Script: sudo /opt/fme-form-2023/fme fme -m pip install pandas --system --target /home/adminnordend/.fme/Plugins/Python/python310 After running this command we get the following Error: FME license system failure: FME is not licensed for this machine. Please launch FME Licensing Assistant to install a license. If you require more assistance, please send the following information to your local Safe Software Partner or codes@safe.com. Your registration key is 3-246-191-769. Program TerminatingBut the system is licensed. 

I’m dealing with a rather large JSON file. The issue I have is that some element values contain literal quotes and double quotes, and these are causing Rejections in the JSONExtractor. The quotes/double quotes are not escaped in the original source. Is there a way to escape these automatically with other FME JSON transformers?My efforts to fix thus far using the StringReplacers have resulted in errors throughout the entire JSON string, since quotes/double quotes are native to JSON formatting.

Is it possible to clip a Civil 3D surface using FME and then export it as a Civil 3D surface DWG file?

When I write to AGOL I get the following error message:|ERROR |Attribute(64 bit real)             : `Company_Material_Unknown' has value `1312'I’ve tried various data type for both the writer and the attribute manager before the writer.  Nothing works.  I have another AGOL writer in another place in the FMW (different data stream) and it works fine.

Hello, We have been troubleshooting this FME translation for a while and can’t figure out a solution.  The Inserted, Deleted features of the ChangeDetector write reasonably quickly but the Update features are writing so slow it will be unusable, GIF for reference.  Things we’ve tried without any differences:Indexing all fields in ArcCatalogIndexing Just the Match Column fields (3 Fields to make a Unique ID)Indexing and using a CRCCalculator field for the Match ColumnsAdding a FeatureHolder after the ChangeDetectorAdding a AttributeManager after the ChangeDetector removing unused fieldsWriting to a File Geodatabase (SDE is ultimately the goal and being used in the gif below)Not Checking the Geometry in the ChangeDetectorChanging Transaction types in the WriterChanging and testing various other settings in the transformers and writers  Thank you for any suggestions!!

Parcels are created, removed or changed in GIS,  but we also have a CAD Map3d basemap that we also maintain.  One of these basemaps contains a text layer that has the address number for each parcel, what I am trying to do is compare the parcel address number from the GIS against the cad basemap find out which ones have changed, removed or inserted then make the changes to the cad file.I have already setup readers for the GIS and CAD parcel polygons and using a change detector I know what is different compared to the polygon basemap, but now I need to take that result and check it against the text in the cad basemap and update it. for some reason the number of changes don’t seem to match when I compre the text.  how would you suggest I attempt to do this, is there something I am missing.

Hi guys, I would like to run a network analysis. I red some articles about this using FME but I got stuck. Hopefully you can help me out. Input data:Polygons representing buildings Polygons representing parks. Line road networkFor each building I want to compute whether its possible to reach a park within 300m distance using the provided network. Could you give me support in the right direction?I tried to use the MeasureExtractor and NetworkCostCalculator but did not manage until now.This image shows the general idea, walking from a building via the red line to a park in green. 

Lines/polygons contain ordered data of every vertice that they are made up of. Is there an easy way to extract ALL these positions as points? (preferably while retaining attributes) 

Hi - I’m wondering if anyone has tried to read a filegeodb straight from s3 with a featurereader.  The S3 connector documentation implies this might be possible - but I could not get it to work.  I had to have the gdb directory local on my machine for it to work.  Has anyone else run into this?  It would be cool if it did work, since I don’t like having these file geodbs local.  I can work around it if not.  

HI, I have a gdb with a lot of feature classes and I need FME to search thoroug the content of each layer and give me the list of all attributes from each layer that meets certain tester requirements. I was thinking of usint Attribute Validator but the content of the gdb will be changing hence adding attributes manually to each tester is going to be very time consuming. I need FME to search thorouhg the content of each layer saved in the gdb and give me the attributes 

Hi,I am converting a Civil 3D DWG file to GDB. However, once I read the DWG file, the colors appear to be changed to black and white. I attempted to use DWGStyler, but the colors are still not reverting to their original state. I've checked the Reader Parameters to ensure that "Resolve Entity Color" is selected. Could someone please assist me?1 more thing that I found is that, once I use autocad_color or fme_color in DWGStyler the values disappear.  Thanks in advance

Hello, Is the result of the function @uuid() the same as the transformer UniqueIdentifierGenerator ?I would like to create directly an UUID in an attribute creator instead of using 2 transformers (UniqueIdentifierGenerator and AttributeCreator). Thanks.
