How Can FME Help Optimize Towing Logistics in NYC?

Hello Safe Software Community,I work for Riteway Towing INC, a leading towing company in Queens, NY. We're exploring ways to enhance our operations, particularly in managing our fleet of tow trucks and providing timely roadside assistance. Given the complexity of NYC's traffic and the high demand for 24 hour towing, we need a robust solution for real-time data integration and route optimization.Can FME help us integrate various data sources (like traffic updates, GPS data, and service requests) to streamline our dispatch processes and improve response times? Additionally, has anyone implemented FME for similar logistics and fleet management tasks? Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!Olivia Marie - Manager at Riteway Towing NYC

snap polygons in one layer to polygons on another layer

I have 2 datasets of roads, one is a whole of site polygon layer and the other layer is broken into segments for each section of road. I have manually edited the whole of site layer to match our property boundary layer. Now I would like to match the road segments to the whole of site possibly by snapping the segment layer to the whole of site layer. I really hope there is a way to do this as it would be a massive job to manually align each individual segment to the whole of site layer. It has taken me 3 weeks to do the whole of site layer alone.

ORACLE_HOME is not set

Hello,I installed FME 2022.1.1 on my laptop and installed the Oracle client (11_2) but even after several reboots I cannot select any Oracle Database as reader. They are all greyed out. When I open a workbench that contains Oracle it says something about missing dependencies: ‘Oracle Non-Spatial’,Oracle Spatial Object’. When I want to run it, it fails and gives the error: ORACLE Home is not set. Does anyone has a hint how to fix that?

SharePointOnlineConnector Multiple Download FIle

Hi everyone,I have an SHP file related to some parcels. For each parcel, there is a corresponding folder and contract (with the same name). My goal is to create a workspace based on the ready SHP files (using a simple tester transformation). The SharePointOnlineConnector should then download the corresponding contract from SharePoint and place it in a local directory.My main challenge lies in how to locate each contract. Currently, I’ve set up the SharePointOnlineConnector to create a list from the directory. Then, I use another SharePointOnlineConnector to download the contracts. However, during the second SharePoint transformation, I encounter an error:SharepointOnlineConnector: Error making request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0//sites/[my_share_point_name].sharepoint.com,3a2333c0-9794-425a-9978-a2eb613fc15b,c38a05da-86b2-48bd-a5b5-e80371d96e57/drives/b!nqLU0gc2Y0OJ_TIlc0aqVX_zKy7OiIFPltGPSW8STP_RoqJOec4jSbMoWXb1-7Y7/items/01MI2PLMPJAT7XK24RXZGJDFNW2D7PE4KR: The resource could

FME Flow certificate with the help of self-study

Our company has been working hard over the past few months to train and certify consultants in FME Form. Starting this summer, the first small group of consultants will begin earning their certification for FME Flow.Just like with FME Form, the trainees will primarily work through self-study, utilizing the online course materials on FME Academy and theVirtual Machines via FME Academy Lab. The course material includes exercises that require access to an FME Flow environment.My question is: Does a trainee using an FME Academy Lab Virtual Machine have access to the FME Flow interface? Or is the functionality limited to downloading and publishing workspaces using FME Form only?And as a 2nd question, do we have access to FME Flow during the cetificate exam.Thank you in advance for your time

Where is the download past versions page

Where did you put your past versions download page????I can't even find the download product page from the homepage. I have to google for it.The old download previous versions page was:https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versionsBut now I can only download current version 2024.0, beta version 2024.1 or past versions 2024.0.2.2 and 2024.0.1 (Which are not even past versions because the current version is 2024.0!)But I need 2021.2.6 and even 2019.2.3.2. Because I want to create backwards compatible custom transformers.And 2023.2.2 because that's the current version we all agreed on to work with.I'm sorry but your current site layout is just not working for me. It's not a getting the job done layout. I hope it's selling the product.
