The FME 2023.2 version has a problem with tiling and writing PNG* ? It takes so long time to work.

I have a large GeoTIFF file (11Mb after using compressing JPEG 75% and building Paramyd 6 Level Bicubic). And then tiling it with WebMapTiler, the result is 115,851 tiles.My Workspace:FME 2023.1 takes 1h15m to complete tiling and writing it.FME 2023.2 takes so long time and uses a lot of RAM and I can't wait, I don't know how long it will take actually. Do I mistake something?Everybody help!Many thanks.

splitting data based on tester results from different FGDB

I have filtered data from the results of a value in a field (using tester) in order to split that data in 2 - North and South. I want to split different data from a different FGDB (with similar fields but not matching and similar area) based on the split I completed above. Is this possible? if so how would I go about completing this? Im wondering if I could add a field to the second FGDB from the first results even though the area might be slightly different ? thanks and much apprecaited!

Missing features FME DGN reader

I have a dgn file which when I read into FME loses a line and I cannot figure out why. When I view the file in Bentley View I see the following:-In FME :- Would anybody have any suggestions as to why this may be? I appreciate that the line is a BSpline Curve, which can cause problems, but others come through OK. Any parameter you may know of that I can change to allow the features to be read?I have attached a clip of the dgn in case someone would like to replicate the problem.Many thanks for any words of wisdom 😀

How to read files within a zipped folder?

I'm attempting to filter through all the files within a specific location to identify what shapefiles and feature classes exist within that location (dealing with over 500,000 files). I'm using a Directory and File Pathnames reader to kick off the workflow which is recognizing that there are zip folders within the location, but stops at the zipped folder and won't read the files within them. Is there a way for me to read in the files from the zipped folders as well? Thanks!

Try AI Assist in FME 2023.1

Did you notice "AI Assist" has been added to PythonCreator/PythonCaller in FME 2023.1?I tried it.It's not a question, just a chat. It would be nice if you can share your experiences on the AI Assist.Create a new method to calculate coordinates of the extents for a web map tile.AI returned:def calculate_tile_extents(x: int, y: int, z: int) -> tuple: """Calculates the extents of a web map tile given its x, y, and z coordinates.""" n = 2.0 ** z lon_left = x / n * 360.0 - 180.0 lat_bottom = math.degrees(math.atan(math.sinh(math.pi * (1 - 2 * y / n)))) lon_right = (x + 1) / n * 360.0 - 180.0 lat_top = math.degrees(math.atan(math.sinh(math.pi * (1 - 2 * (y + 1) / n)))) return (lon_left, lat_bottom, lon_right, lat_top)Good, but I want to convert latitude, longitude to x, y in EPSG:3857 finally.Create a new method to convert latitude and longitude to x and y in EPSG:3857.AI returned:import pyproj def lat_long_to_xy(lat, long): in_proj = pyproj.Proj(init='epsg:4326')

RCaller doing nothing

Dear fellow FME users, I am trying to delve a bit into the Rcaller in combination with asking data from a website (CBS). I have a bit of R experience, but not so much with the Rcaller. With Rstudio the code works without a problem, however I don't manage to succeed in FME desktop 2022.2.1.0I am running the code below. I am aware that you need to adjust the R code a bit before making it work in FME desktop, so I was wondering whether I have to adjust the current code. In my case the Rcaller is running and it seems like it's doing nothing or stuck. I therefore I assume that the code is probably not working. Can someone else test and see how I have to adjust the current code? Furthermore I am looking for blog posts that delve into the Rcaller. I would like to learn more about the rcaller and make myself a bit more proficient.# Run once:install.packages("cbsodataR") library(cbsodataR) # Downloading table listtoc <- cbs_get_toc()head(toc) # Downloading entire dataset (can take up to 30s

Read content of Web App / Esri Portal

Hi, I am just wondering if it is possible to read the content of Web App published to Esri Portal. I want to know what layers have been grouped in which layer group. I think ArcGISOnlineConnector has to be used, but I can only get the general information (even after exposing all available attributes). The Web Application has multiple layer groups with different layers included.

Schema change to output feature class

I have a workspace that was just pulling data and joining schema from two feature classes from an enterprise geodatabase. Then, we had a business need to add two new fields to the output feature class. (I cannot add them to the input feature class). Now, when I run the workspace, it overwrites the edits to those two new fields. Does anyone have suggestions on how to set this up in FME so that the two new fields (flagged and flagged description) aren't overwritten? Here is a screenshot of the workspace. Thanks!

In Apps, change the word OK in the OK button to RUN

Hello Forum, In FME Flow's App builder I would like the word in the OK button to be 'Run' instead of 'OK'. This is because OK, is often thought of as also meaning close (yes, I know the users could just close the browser tab). But of course, in the case of FME Flow Apps OK most definitely means 'run it'. So, it would be better if the word OK was replaced by Run. I've looked in Flow Apps>Manage Workspace Apps>(click the App in question)>Customise, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change the wording of the OK button. Any ideas? Thanks,Stuart

OBJ writer merges features together

I have a workflow that creates 3D scenes and exports them to glTF, FBX and OBJ. The glTF and FBX work fine (the trees, buildings and terrain are seperated objects that I can individually selected in a software like Blender). The OBJ writer merges all the meshes together, so selecting individual objects is impossible. Even when simply reading a FBX file, with 472 seperate features, and exporting to OBJ without any transformation, the OBJ writer merges everything together. I tried all the parameters in the OBJ writer but nothing seems to work to get seperate objects. Does any one know what I should do ?

PowerPointStyler and PowerPoint Writer

I'm working with the PowerPointStyler and PowerPoint Writer for the first time, and have gotten pretty good results. I'm applying statistical analysis to my data, and then outputting these statistics as a bar chart to a pptx. My template pptx has graphical images as headers and footers of the slides. One issue I'm experiencing is that the bar chart it creates is the entire size of the slide. So I'm getting overprints with the chart and the template graphics. Is there a way shrink the graph to a custom size from the transformer/writer in FME? Secondly, I'm wondering about the text size of the labels within the chart. I don't see a way to change the size of the labels from FME. Am I overlooking that functionality?

What do I do when the Backup_Configuration schedule is missing from my express installation?

I performed the express install of FME Flow 2023. Then I restored a backup from FME Server 2021. I do not see the backup schedule promised at https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Perform_Scheduled_Backup.htm. Did my restore over write it? How can I automate a backup of FME Flow?

What has been your biggest FME Oops moment?

We (Red Geographics) often organize masterclasses to show and tell people on how to do something in FME.Our last masterclass of the year is going to be the opposite. In the Anti-masterclass we're going to tell people how NOT to FME. It's gonna be a fun way to end the year and share some funny situations, oops-moments and things to avoid. I'd love to get some examples from FME experts from all over the world. What has been a blunder or a funny mistake you want to share that we can incorporate into our (Dutch) webinar?

Is it possible in fme flow to configure the proxy settings of the web application using the API or in another way outside of the application?

We would like to automate all the steps in deploying and configuring FME FLOW. Most of the steps in the application itself can be done via the API, however there is no option to do this for the proxy settings. We have tried many things already:-Setting the environment variables in windows-Running mcd-scripts to set the proxy for windows and FME itself (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Using_FME_Server_wit)-Looking all over the v3 & v4 API documentation-Looking in all the FME flow config files-adding the proxy settings in the server.yml file in the tomcat folderAll above didn't work So do you still have a suggestion? We assumed it might have to do with security that it is not so easy. Thanks in advance, Matthijs
