I used several models. once without transformers and once with EsriReprojector, reprojector, and ...In all cases, the results are not in correct projection.even I force to create prj file and it has the correct projection but output dwg has UTM projection with wrong coordinates

Is FME version 2021 able to work with ESRI Geodatabases in ArcGIS 9.0 and 9.3 formats?

Hello I am trying to write some polygon data from a csv file which contains the geometry data to an esri sde database, all the conversion is fine until i come to write the data when i get the error below. It says that the Number of parts in shape is incorrect for its geometry type. What does this actually mean. The data is building a polygon, which it does. I have added in a geometry filter to get the areas and polygons followed by a geometry coercer set to fme_polygon... Any ideas how to fix this or what could be wrong?? Error while updating feature in the table/feature class 'OS_NGD_BLD_FTS_BUILDINGPART'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147215922'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Number of parts in shape is incorrect for its geometry type}Storing feature(s) to FME feature store file `\\\\dnfme01\\FMEWorkbench\\Workspaces\\Ordnance Survey\\National Geospatial Database\\OS NGD Buildings Daily Update_log.ffs'++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have a disconnected Python Caller which is suppose to do some data cleaning in target dataset before Reading data from source and writing them into Target Can you please let me know how I can make a sequence here before reading the data from source to ran and do the job of Python Caller First?   I tried to connect/put the Python caller before Reader but as you know where is no way to add it before reader , out of the box Thanks

Looking for a way to add a feature to a data flow based on a test condition where the feature count of the data stream is 1 or more? If there are no features being read from the reader source, no feature will be added. Best way is probably to test feature count equal to null.

Is this possible to automate in FME?  Is it also possible to run a script at an interval in fme, e.g. once per week?

I was excited about this new feature announced at FME UC 2022 and as soon as I saw the beta for 2023 dropped (and I also really want to test this on Server Apps), I downloaded to test. However it seems broken. The drop-down isn't revealing anything. Shouldn't it reveal one of the other parameters as input? Or am I missing something? Thanks.

I have a workbench intended to run daily on FME Server. It does the usual data transformation stuff and then it email reports to a member of staff once per week. The report contains information relating to contractor performance over a 30 day period. I only want to send out a report if there's in new activity in the past 30 days. Currently, I have 9 x reports (one for each contractor). The reports are updated daily. I want the Emailer transformer to email only those reports containing new activity. I have gotten as far as calculating which reports are valid (i.e. within 30days) and using an Attribute Creator to fanout a new attribute, being the path & filename of the report. The Emailer then reads the fanout parameter as the Source File, picks it up and sends it. The problem is, the Emailer is sending each attachment in individual emails. I want the transformer to recognise which reports are valid and then send them together in a single email. The image I have attached shows 5

I'm having some issues with our FME Server which I don't understand. Every now and then, when running a nightly scheduled job, a FeatureReader fails to read a CSV file. The log returns:Trying to find a DYNAMIC plugin for reader named `CSV2'Library 'D:\Program Files\FMEServer\Server\fme\plugins/CSV2.dll' was found but could not be loaded. Ensure that all the dependent modules exist for this libraryModule 'CSV2' is unavailable for use with this FME editionWhen I resubmit the job, everything works fine... which is great for the data being processed, but harder to debug. The issue feels somewhat familiar and I did find similar questions but not related to CSV2.dll.I'm quite sure this is not related to desktop/server versions. Version is 2019.1.2.As far as I am aware nothing has changed in the installation, I do know the certificates were replaced recently but I doubt this has anything to do with it. Not sure where I should start looking, can anyone point me in the right direction? Update: 

 I get a very vague error when running it: " Error running translation." and no other details. I have over 60 GB of space on the drive so it can't be a matter of space. Also 16 GB RAM and closed all other applications.

We would like to inventory our FME Server on all input and output data from our database. We have setup a workspace that calls the FME REST API and reads all input/output, but there is no way to read other transformers as it seems. Is there a way to read FeatureReaders/Writers from all the workspaces in FME Server somehow? Also we would like to get a list of pythoncallers and systemcallers etc.

Hello,I need to create a bounding box with 5-8 vertex for my polygones. The BoundingBoxReplacer has 4 vertex only. I tried the HullReplacer, but it creates too many vertex - 10-20. But need only 5-8 vertes around my polygone.Do you have an idea?Thank you anyway.Regards

Trying to figure out how to do that with FME Server 2022.2.3Have the user fill a form ( my guess: Server App with User Parameters)Validate the data entered by the user (lookup into a database for existing value)If the data is good, process the data and confirm the user that the processing succeeded.If there are any errors in the user input, the user should be prompted to correct the input and submit for validation again.When data is submitted correctly, an email is sent to the supervisor with a link that will allow him to validate and complete extra data fields (such as authorization number)I thought that I would be able to do this with Server Apps, Automations or Webhooks, but I can't figure out how to direct the user to a "second step" input .Any Idea is welcome :) Thank you.

Hi! I’ve recently installed and licensed FME Desktop Esri Edition (on 32Bit) on a VM within an isolated network. I need to use the ArcSDE Geodb Reader of FME, to have access to Network and Relationship information, and as a pre-requisite I’ve also installed the ArcGIS Desktop (by default on 32Bit). I have not yet licensed the ArcGIS Desktop that I’ve installed along with the FME. Still, I can call and start to configure the ArcSDE Geodb Reader.My goal is to connect to several ArcGIS VMs within the same isolated network. I’ve received a bunch of .sde database connection files that I’ve used in the configuration of the ArcSDE Geodb Reader. I do not know exactly if these VMs that I’m trying to connect to are running just a database or have ArcGIS software installed and licensed as well (like ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server). I have little knowledge about the ArcGIS architecture. I know that there are several ArcGIS models dispersed on a bunch of VMs.My problem occurs in the set-up of the Ar

Hello, I am trying to read an excel file with FeatureReader but my excel file has an extra row before the true header row.  Row 1: Report TitleRow 2: Header RowRow 3-N: Data Is there a way to skip over the first row when reading in the file with FeatureReader? Thank you

I am having issues with using the payload that is being sent to the webhook in FME server. I have setup a webhook, I watched this video: https://www.safe.com/webinars/hook-line-and-sinker-reeling-in-arcgis-webhooks/ But I cannot set the same values in my ParameterFetcher and my Workspace on FME server is not allowing me to set anything with webhook.  I have the webhook created and I am able to log the webhook message to the logs and see the expected output. I am having issues sending it into an fme workspace.

I have this block of XML. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><place place_id="11703">  <gas_price type="regular">22.19</gas_price>  <gas_price type="premium">24.19</gas_price> </place> I used an XMLfragmenter to break up the big block of XML from the data source into the above snippets for different stations. But I can't figure out how to extract these using the XML transformers.  I am trying to get a result like this: ID | Price Premium | Price Regular11703 | 24.19 | 22.19 I know I'll probably have to transpose the data, but even before then I can't get the XML extractor or flattener to do anything to this little JSON snippet. Is there an obvious query to extract this using one of the transformers? Thanks

Hi all, I'm looking for the optimal way to create a 'mesh' of potential flow paths to use with the ShortestPathFinder. Currently I feed my workspace a polygon of interest, then to a point cloud of required spacing. Turn that into individual points and then connect them up in the 8 points of the compass using a NeighbourFinder/ListExploder/VertexCreator. My query with this is at the end I have to use the Matcher to remove lots of geometric duplicates where point A has connected to point B, and point B has connected to point A. Line direction is irrelevant to this task so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how I could optimise this process?

I need to develop a .NET app to execute somo FME workspaces with FME Desktop.Before doing that, I would like to check if there is a license available (there are only two floating license). Is there a way of achieving that? I could assume that if the process doesn't start is due to license problems, but I was wondering if there is a better way. Thanks for any help provided.

Hello. Does anyone have knowledge of how to determine the sequential order of segments based on already created geometry? Or any other option? For example, I have L616 tracks where I need to combine the points in the list of fixes into one value. If I use the aggregator, I have values in one column, but the values are not consecutive, see the aggregator attachment - the aggregator writes segments - DENKO BINPO VELAB MISKA ETNEL PEKOT DESEN continues KEROP NIVIS VAL REDVA ?KOGAT ?BITLA and ends NIT TABIN ALAMU. It should be correctly DENKO BINPO VELAB MISHKA ETNEL PEKOT DESEN continues NIT TABIN ALAMU and ends KEROP NIVIS VAL REDVA ?KOGAT ?BITLAIndividual segments that have an expected trajectory from top to bottom are in the attachment. Thank you very much

I have 2 datasets of points created from the vertex extractor transformer. The 2 points have the same X, Y coordinate but differ in Z. I want to create vertical lines between these 2 points. I think this should be possible using the vertex creator transformer with 2 transformers after each other but can’t get it to work.

Does the constant interpolation method in the surfaceDraper transformer takes into account X, Y and Z coordinates (2.5D) or is it only looking at the closest 2D value in X and Y coordinates?

Hi I have a feature service that is apart of a Survey123 survey. The survey will indicate if something has failed in a variety of ways.  I currently have a workspace that has a testfilter transformer looking through 50 different attribute columns looking for the word Fail. Then from each output port there is an action that is taken. Is there a transformer that I could use to search the whole attribute table for the word fail instead? Thanks!

The caller just hangs.Works fine on desktop but not the server.I had to add a feature holder between the HTTP Caller and the XML templater. Any other suggestions?? That seems to be only part of the solution.
