Can FME be used to start and stop a geocoding service? if this is possible I would like to create a workbench that does this on a schedule eventually using FME Server.  Can someone provide me some pointers on where I should start?

Dear All, Here is my issue with the FindString() function : I have the following string stored in user parameter value_to_test = "101,102" ; the attribute "ProgNum" contains values that range from 100-900 and I want to set a new attribute "FoundNum" to be = "true" when "ProgNum" is one the (comma-separated) values of value_to_test. As FindString(string,strToFind) should return the index in string that matches strToFind , I've tried the following expression :@FindString($(value_to_test),@Value(ProgNum))I have also tried the FindStringRegularExpression@FindRegularExpression($(value_to_test),@Value(ProgNum))None of the them is working ! Quite despaired I've also tried to revert $(value_to_test) and @Value(ProgNum) in the function call, but it does not work better... Does anyone have an explanation what it is not working and what I am doing wrong ?? Thanks in advance NB : I know that I could work with AttributeSplitter etc. but I would like to know why the FindString and FindRegularExpress

Dear all,I am using a CSV reader to read my data from csv file. I have a column that contains almost only integer except 5 values, that contain a letter (e.g. 12a or 12b). Unfortunately the reader set the Type of this attribute to uint32, and the values that contain a letter are set to Null... So I loose this information...It seems that in older versions of FME there was possible to choose "Manual" for "Attribute definition" parameter. But I doesn't see this option in the 2022.1 version of FME.How could I do then to force this column to be read as a string ?I've seen that it is possible to specify manually attribute types in the FeatureReader, but could I use this transformer to read a file ? (I set the file path in the parameter, but I don't know what to pass in input, and the output is empty)  Thanks in advance for any help

I would like to manipulate whole ''column'' (list of attribute values) in a PythonCaller but I don't really understand how I can do that. For example in the example here below, I create a new attribute in `input` (=iterating over each each feature, right ?) ; what I am trying to do  1) in `close` : to print all unique values of the newly created attribute(WITHOUT iterating over each feature, so to work directly on the list of all attribute values that my data contain) 2) in `close` (or somewhere else) : to add directly a new attribute to my data by applying a function on the firstly created attribute (again WITHOUT iterating over each feature) Is it possible to do all these things in a Python caller ?  import fmeimport fmeobjectsdef processFeature(feature):    pass class FeatureProcessor(object):    def __init__(self):        pass    def input(self,feature):                progs_dict = globals()[fme.macroValues['VARNAME_DICT']]        all_prog_cols = list(progs_dict.keys())        all_

I have an SDE with a point feature class that has 120k locations across the entire US. I can read those points in with a normal reader, but it takes a long time ~5 minutes and I really only need to return 100 out of those 120k points.  Which 100 changes depending on the input of an excel reader. I pull in a list of 10 or 20 points from an excel sheet, take a 2 mile buffer around those points, and then spatial join that to the big list from SDE. Those 10 to 20 points could be anywhere in the US.  Is there a transformer that will let me read in my 10-20 points, then make a query to SDE/SQL with a transformer based on the location, so that I'm only asking the database for the records I need? That way I am not pulling in the rest of the 100k+ records.  Right now I am thinking I can take the lat long coordinates from the excel input and create a bounding box of sorts to query the SDE point feature class. But I don't see a transformer that can read from SDE 'inline' with the

I have followed this pattern of a workflow for years, where I maintain attribute names and data types in a spreadsheet for different databases, and I import those names and values using the Import... dialog within the AttributeCreator as one of the last steps of a data workflow.​When I import values, here's what I usually have in the AttributeCreator:​Output Attribute Valueattribute{0}.name AreaNameattribute{0}.fme_data_type fme_varchar(64)​Now that the AttributeCreator has a data type in the dialog, should I still follow this pattern?  How does this new data type parameter work with dynamic workflows?

Trying to install on my mac, silicon version. Have uninstalled one version completely.

I have multiple site template polygons, with various dimensions. Let's say I have 2 polygons that are 100' x 100' and 200' x 200'. I then have multiple parcels that I need to see if any of the site templates fit inside the parcel polygons, no matter the orientation of the site. What would be the best method to determine this? The outcome would be finding which site template, if any, would fit and the orientation within the parcel polygon.

Hello,  As part of an application I am developping, I am using the FME Flow API to submit a job asynchronously (using the webservice POST /transformations/submit/< repository >/< workspace >).  I have also created a specific webservice used in the workspace runned on FME Flow so it can communicate specific information about the result of the workspace to my application.  I would like to know if there is a way to use the jobid returned in the response body of webservice POST /transformations/submit/< repository >/< workspace > in my workspace so that it can be passed as a user parameter in the HTTPCaller used to call the webservice I have developped.  It would be very usefull for me so that I could create a link between the job sumitted on FME Flow and the information it sends back to my application using the webservice I have developped.  I remain at your disposal for any additional information.  Best regards,

Hello , i have xml document schema ,that includes subtypes .I have exported it from arc catalog  in FME my input is arcsde ,i have used quick translator to convert it from arcsde to file geodatabase ,in configure parameters I have used the schema xmlI have read in article this is the way to get subtypes in file geodatabase to use schema xml .But after checking the file geodatabase by ArcGis pro ,does not include any subtype . How could I get file geodatabase include subtypes ?

Brand new to FME server, and i've only really worked with outgoing REST API calls before in general. What i have is a workspace that is parsing emails and picking out specific data that is then packaged based on conditions and sends out an REST POST request to another platform. The packaged data going out becomes an actionable item in the other platform, and i want to have users be able to click a button to respond to the action item and have that come back to FME Server (i assume it'd be a post request) where i can write to a table some related data. i'm not sure how to "listen" for incoming REST requests? i've read through the v3 documentation and it is pretty likely that i missed it, but i'd love it if someone could help me out?

Hello All,  Please have you got an idea how i could store more then 100+ records ? When i run the WB it should compare or find the value and do the needful.    thank you all

I'm having a custom transformer that needs an URL as input for API calls, so I made it a user parameterHowever if I take the value from an attribute, that value is lost after another custom transformer that contains a list builder. If the value comes from another user parameter (set in the main), there is no issue:This is the setting by taking the url from an attribute (table shows the output from a parameter fetcher inside the custom transformer after the list builder CT) This is how it is by taking the value from another user parameter (+ output from same parameter fetcher): Is this a bug? Am I missing something?How could I solve this in a performant way?Is there a way to change a value from a user parameter to an attribute value? Say I define user parameter "URL" as private one and leave it empty. After I deduct what the URL should be (fetched from a database), can I add the fetched value to the empty user parameter?

I have a csv with start and end lat longs and other attributes like road name and road number. I want to snap it to the route (road network) polyline dataset based on matching attributes (road name/road number) and then generate the line geometry of that road network from start to end coordinates provided.  Is this possible to accomplish in FME?

Hello,I have a json response body that I am trying to get into a table. Using the JSONFragmenter I have gotten each record to populate as a different fragment. I have a long string with all the key value pairs. See below, {"ActualFinishDate":"2023-06-01T18:00:00Z","DateSubmitTo":"2022-05-02T13:37:46Z","Description":"FLT - Service Requirement","InitiateDate":"2022-05-02T13:37:46Z","StatusDescription":"Completed","WOCost":0,"WorkOrderId":"3006845","Comments":null,"Instructions":null} Now what I would like to do is create a table that would have each of the value keys as an attribute column and to have that tabled filled out with the corresponding data.  What would my next steps be?     

I am able to use AttributeValueMapper to translate single values (ie if col1 == 1 then col2 = 'A') but I need to get it to map ranges of values, something like if (col1 > 0 AND col1 <= 50) then col2 = 'A' I keep getting 'Invalid Test Expression' errors so it sounds like I'm not writing the conditional tests correctly but I cannot see where I'm going wrong. Here's an example: Can anybody help me fix this, or point me at another way of setting a value in one column based on more than one possible value in another column? Thanks, Mike

When writing to a hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online we are getting duplicate features on occasion. In the latest run where this happened, there were 15,304 features in the dataset which were reported as written to ArcGIS Online, although the feature layer actually had 16,304 features written to it. Features with OBJECTID 9001 through 10000 were exactly duplicated making it seem like a batch of 1,000 features were written exactly twice during the process. OBJECTID 10001 was an exact duplicate of 9001, 10002 was a dupe of 9002 and so on.... After this batch of duplicates, subsequent features were not duplicated (features before OBJECTID 9001 were also not duplicated).
