I read files from Sharepoint. Sometimes I can read all the files but other times (no obvious pattern) I get this error msg when reading the exact same files again:`fme_rejection_message' has value `SharepointOnlineConnector: Could not connect to server. Check that you are connected to the internet and that no firewall is blocking outbound connections. The error was 'HTTPSConnectionPool(host='graph.microsoft.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=60)''Can I somehow easily adjust the read timeout?

I am snapping points to line based on unique id (using group by). I tried using both vertex snapping or segment snapping. In both of these case, the points are being snapped to endpoints in some cases ( as per screenshot). I don't want to snap the point to endpoint at all, but it can be anywhere on the line. How to achieve snapping the point on the line other than endpoint of the line? Thank you

Hi, Attached I have two sets of data with several polygons. The two are almost identical, but one has different polygons or more polygons than the other. How can I do it using FME? I already used the Spatial Relator transformer and change detector transformer but the results were not good. I want to know the difference between the two, that is what appeared in one and what disappeared in the other. can anybody help me? Thanks

I've been trying to find a solution to change the start /end vertex of a closed polyline. I have a point where i want the polygon to start, how can I easily reorder all the vertices?

I've recently been provided with a large number of relatively small KMZ files which contain track data recorded by field staff using GPS. This is usually a simple extraction process, however the data is now being provided as a gx:MultiTrack within the KMZ file.(More Info - https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#gxmultitrack)When using FME, it processes the features as if they have no geometry. Currently I'm reading the data in as an xml and extracting the coordinates to build line features as a work around, but not sure it's the best way.Has anyone dealt with MultiTracks before using FME and have any tips or tricks to extract the geometry cleanly? Thanks in advance.

HI,  I am copying Multipatch features from one file GDB to another, but when i do this they rendered and solid black features when viewed in ESRI  This  Instead of this   Any thoughts on what is happening?  Thanks Jacky

I have a workbench that reads in three road datasets, does a bunch of tests and outputs to a file gdb. Two datasets have around 3000 records each and the third has almost 11,000 records, so not huge datasets. The problem I am having is the two smaller ones write successfully but the larger one only writes 956 records.  If I write to shapefile all is fine but no matter what I try the file gdb writer fails. I have tried writing to fresh gdb and still same result. I am using FME Form 2023.0 and ArcGIS Pro 3.0 Any ideas?

Hi allI've been given a handful of grid shift file (.gsb) that I need to add to FME Cloud so that I can use them within a published service (via the CsmapReprojector transformer).This is what I've done so far.On Desktop I've copied the .gsb files to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FME\\Reproject\\GridData\\Australia and modified C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\CoordinateSystems\\MyCoordSysDefs.fme, adding the custom transformation definitions which point at the relevant .gsb. For example:The transformation was tested and worked fine using desktop.I then uploaded this modified MyCoordSysDefs.fme file to FME Cloud when I published the workspace I'll be using. I uploaded the file to myfmecloud.com/fmeserver/resources#/Engine/CoordinateSystems.I realize the transformation definitions in MyCoordSysDefs.fme points to a desktop file location, not the server location so I presume I have to upload the .gsb file to FME Cloud and change the GRID_FILE parameter values in the tr

Hi,I created a workspace to process las files and receive raster and contours data set. The workspace supposed to be run with use of a directory watcher but it looks every las file is a trigger to run it again. Is there a way to have a single event with FME Server 2020.2? Thanks

Hi, I have multiple gdb with feature classes. I would like to get one feature class per each gdb as a sample. The catch is that I do not want to read all data as it's massive. I would like to filter/sample it while reading something similar to SQL Creator

Hi, I have a workbench where I download data from Arcgis online.For this I use the transformer "ArcGIS_AP_FileGDBExport". This works fine with FME Form. But I will use this workbench inside fme flow and during the upload comes the following warning: If I ignore the warnings the workbench is not working! How can I set up web connections correctly in fme flow?

Hello, quite difficult to find the right section for my question, so moderators, please move it in a more suitable one if it is necessary.  I create a FGDB with a feature class and a table. The table shall use the OBJECTID of the feature class, so this one shall be created first to be able to use the OBJECTID in the table. Is there a way to create the FGDB in one wb? Thank you, Corina

good week everyone There is a yield in point format. I want to produce a line from these points. There is a method I used before, but I did not get very good results. As an attribute, each point has a shooting time. Can I create a line using this shooting time?

Dear FME Community, I am facing a challenge while using the SharePointOnline Connector in FME to load a CSV file directly as an attribute. My objective is to avoid storing this CSV file on any network drive, local drive, or an M365 named account OneDrive folder. Instead, I'd like to process it immediately within the FME workflow. Goal:My end goal is to convert this attribute—which contains the entire table from the CSV file in text form—into a temporary table or a temporary CSV within FME for further transformation. Version:I am currently using FME version [2022.2.0.0 (20221103 - Build 22765 - WIN64) ]. Problem:I can successfully load the CSV file as an attribute (see picture), but I am struggling to convert this attribute to a format (temporary table or temporary CSV) that I can then transform further.  Questions:How can I convert an attribute (_contents) containing a full CSV text file into a temporary table or CSV within FME? Are there any transformers or specific settings that

Hello I have several point data sets (different Excel files) that I would like to clean up. I would like to delete points with the same position (X,Y) and only keep the point with the highest height (Z).I am currently deleting points with the same position with the Matcher Transformer. This works wonderfully. Now I have not yet found a way to say that the highest point at the location cannot be deleted. Is there a way in FME to influence the selection of the points to be deleted when cleaning different data sets? The height of the objects is available both as attributes and as 3D coordinates.Thanks a lot

Hi All, I have a record with these attributes: ID, Condition1, Condition2, Conditon3. Condition values are integers. I want to write to an new attribute the name of the Condition attribute with the highest Condition value. IE if records is ID =Bob, Condition1 =20, Condition2=0, Condition3=80 then write out 'Condition3' to my attribute.  I have created a list, sorted the list then used listindex set to 0 which returns highest value but not the attribute name from where it came from. Any help appreciated @takashi Thanks Steve

I am working as a consultant for Consortech Solutions and I have a client who is trying to make his G3 Smallworld connection work in FME using the SBS Plugin for Smallworld. Unfortunately, the reader in FME doesn't work all the time. When it fails to show the table to choose from for reading data using the SBS plugin for Smallworld reader, the error message returned is "Bad or Invalid License for feature: spatialbiz_read [-12]". What's weird is that sometimes he is able to read his data in FME using that same reader but sometimes it fails to read the data.  Is that something people have experienced in the past and if so, is there a way to solve this issue?

I have a file geodatabase where backups are stored with a date in the name that gives the backupdate, BU_20230724, BU_20230731 etc. How can I select that only the latest will be read for further analysis? Normally, a feature class is selected under Constraints > Tables and you can select the one you need but, the latest Backup will not stay the same during the year. In a automated proces I would like to select the one with the latest date without changing it manually.
