Upgrading 2023 workspace to 2024.2. When upgrading or adding a new LenghtToPointCalculator transformer and referencing existing attributes for the X/Y coordinates, FME adds 2 rejected ports to the transformer. If you then run the workspace you get the error:
Cannot have multiple factories with the same name. Multiple factories were assigned the name 'LengthToPointCalculator_<Rejected>'
Any suggestions on how to get only 1 rejected port?
Thanks.
Unfortunately with version 1 of the LengthToPointCalculator, one <Rejected> port will be added for every parameter filled by an attribute value. This has been fixed for FME 2025.1 via FMEENGINE-85820. Until that’s available to install, you can avoid the error by connecting just a Junction to one of the <Rejected> ports.
If you still have Form 2023 installed somewhere, place the LengthToPointCalculator transformer down in the canvas. Highlight it, Copy to clipboard. Open Form 2024 and paste (the older version).
A simple workaround provided by safe support… connect a junction (or logger) to one of the 2 rejected ports. Seems to fix the issue.
