Seeking Help with Data Center Integration

Hey Everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently working on a project involving data center integration, and I've run into a bit of a snag. I'm using FME to handle spatial data transformations, and I'm encountering challenges in seamlessly integrating data from various sources within our data center. Specifically, I'm dealing with issues related to data format conversions, data quality assurance, and ensuring smooth interoperability between different systems within the data center. I believe some of you may have experience with similar scenarios or could provide valuable insights. Here are a few points I'm struggling with:Data Format Conversions: How do you efficiently handle conversions between different data formats within the context of a data center using FME?Quality Assurance: What are your best practices for ensuring data quality as it moves through various stages of the integration process? Any FME transformers or workflows you recommend?In

I am trying to deploy FME Flow Helm chart to AWS EKS. We also have an external DB in AWS RDS Postgresql DB which needs to be used along with AWS EFS for shared data directories and AWS ALB for ingress.

I'm have created a storage class and persistent volume according to their documentation (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Kubernetes/Kubernetes-Deploying-to-Amazon-EKS.htm) This is my helm install command: helm install fmeserver safesoftware/fmeserver-2023-0 --set fmeserver.image.tag=21821-20220728 --set deployment.ingress.general.ingressClassName=alb --set storage.fmeserver.class=efs-sc --set deployment.deployPostgresql=false --set storage.fmeserver.accessMode=ReadWriteMany --set fmeserver.database.host=mycluster.rds.amazonaws.com --set fmeserver.database.adminUser=user --set fmeserver.database.adminPasswordSecret=fmeserversecret --set fmeserver.database.adminPasswordSecretKey=password --set fmeserver.database.user=user --set fmeserver.database.name=fmeserver --set fmeserver.database.password=password --set fmeserver.database.adminDatabase=postgres --set deployment.startAsRoot=true -n gis-fmeserver Now my core pod is failing with the following details:All the oth

hardcode to not use FME MF DIR ?

My fmw is saved in a directory called C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks. A parameter called InputFolder is pointing to a subfolder of this directory. Is it possible not to use FME MF DIR predefined parameter ? I use a text parameter to point to C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks\\DEV but the script is replacing it automatically by "$(FME_MF_DIR_USERTYPED)DEV" when executing which translates to C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks/DEV . I am using a python script later and python is every sensitive to / and \\ . How can I force FME to use C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks\\DEV instead of $(FME_MF_DIR_USERTYPED)DEV (translating to C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks/DEV) ?

Topologybuilder: z values are not considered while computing intersections.

Hello, i used the topologybuilder transformer to build the topology of a network ( roads centrlines). The problem is that z values are not considered while computing intersections. So it may not produce correct results for overpasses, inderpasses....Any recommandations please. Thank you.

Writing multiple Excel files to a single workbook with a seperate sheet for each xlsx file using a template

So I have a collection of excel files that I wish to write out to a single excel file. Wehn consolidating I need a seperate sheet for each excel file read, but want to use a template to style each sheet in the same way. When I do this the first sheet written is formatted correctly, but all subsequent sheets written do not have the sheet style of the first (it's just raw output). I've attached the writer parameters and properties, is there anything I should change to get this to work or is this just not an option? Oops sorry forgot to mention this is in FME Flow 2023.1.1.1 (actually it's the Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS, working on getting a proper licence!) in Windows 10 x64 edition.

Why is the CRCCalculator giving differing results for things that should be the same?

I have two sets of address data that I'm trying to match up using the CRCDetector as described here https://community.safe.com/s/article/creating-a-unique-identifier-crccalculator. Geometry isn't a concern so there are only the 3 fields to match up but I'm getting different CRC values for things that should be the same.Some of the algorithms will give a handful of matches but no more that a couple of dozen (out of about 12,000). I've checked for trailing white spaces. What else is making it think these things are different? Thanks

Intersector, LineonAreaOverlayer and Clipper leaving dangles

I am trying to segment a line dataset at every intersection with a polygon dataset. Instead of breaking the line at the true intersection, the transformer appears to generalize the polygon first, then break the line at resulting intersections. The result is as seen in the image, in this case a dangle of about 7'. (candidate line left to right, original polygon in brown, and Intersector's drawn line from bottom left to top right. Selected blue line should end at polygon boundary.)I've tried LineOnAreaOverlayer, Intersector and Clipper with similar results. I've manipulated the coordinate systems of each dataset and changed their source type with no differences. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

With Upgrade to Flow 2023.0.0.3 , Single-Sign-On now fails

I upgraded my Development machine Thursday, and install ran smooth, import of backup ran smooth. Checked settings and all appear to match up with Staging and Production, but unable to get Single-Sign-On to function again. Negotiation reported an error: "Failure unspecified at GSS-API level (Mechanism level: Encryption type RC4 with HMAC is not supported/enabled)". All three of my systems use the same Service-Account, and Staging and Prod have not issue, and Dev worked fine until the upgrade.

FeatureJoiner rejecting where null left key

I am joining 3 tables together. There will always be a record in the first table and there may or may not be a related record in the second. If there is a related record, there may or may not be a record in the third. I always want to have the record from the first table.The relationships are as follows:Left: Table 1 primary key - Right: Table 2 foreign keyLeft: Table 2 primary key - Right: Table 3 foregin keyWhen I try and set this up using FeatureJoiner transformers, it works ok on the first, but if there is no record in the second table, it cannot join to the third as there is no left key. Is there any way to pass records with a null left key in FeatureJoiner? If I did a similar workflow in a Microsoft Access query I would still have the record from the first table. I presume I could use a FeatureMerger and pass Merged and UnmergedRequestor into the input of the next transformer. This could work ok but I do much prefer the FeatureJoinerMany thanks

Split dataset into two streams. One, where points at shared locations. Two, where points are the only ones there.

Hello Community, I have a points dataset containing 17 records. Some at stacked at shared locations. Some are isolated in one location…  I need to separate this into two different streams. Stream one: all records that are at shared locations (i.e: sharing an XY co-ordinate pair)… Stream two: all records that are the only records at that location…   How is this achievable? Thanks,

Message Parameter Text Format

Hi,I was wondering if there is a way to format text that is used in the "Message" User Parameter in FME Form. There is no Text Editor available for the "Message Configuration" option and when I use the Parameter in a FME Flow App, line breaks are removed, although they show up when prompted in FME Form. Is there a way to keep line breaks?

Can the attribute value mapper transformer map multiple values in one record?

Hi, I am working on translating data from numbers to phrases. I know using the String Replacer and Attribute Value Mapper is the best for this, but I am having issues when trying to map more than one value to one field.  An example would be the reason_of_given_set has multiple values, I need these values to populate with given phrases, each number represents a phrase. I provided the parameters of the transformer I am using below. I also tried creating 14 different string replacers to represent each number and each time the output shows blank at the attributes with multiple values. I am probably using the Attribute Value Mapper transformer incorrectly and its not designed to do this, or I have the parameters set incorrectly. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I added a new row of info in Attribute Manager in the workspace. This row needs to be added in the Service request on Cityworks. Would republishing the workspace with same name brings in those changes in the Service Request, provided the source will include the new row ? Any insights are highly appreciated.
