Hi ,

Does anyone know how could I read a web map service thatcontains a raster layers?

Thanks,

Rawan

I'm attempting to use the WFS reader to retrieve a capabilities document using HTTP Basic authentication.However,I suspect that FME isn't sending the Authentication header unless it's challenged with a 401 response from the server,which is a problem because the server I'm connecting to returns 200 response containing public layers for unauthenticated users and hence no challenge.

Are my suspicions are correct?Is there a way to force FME to send the Authentication header without waiting to be challenged with a 401 response?

Things I've tried:

- Checked "Use Network Authentication",selected "Basic" authentication,and added a username and password.No private layers appear under "Feature Types".

- Manually typed the name of a private layer into "Feature Types".FME says that the layer was not found in the capabilities document.

- Added the username and password to the URL,e.g.https://username:password@server/wfs.

I am trying to run an FME workspace on server,I run it through a web interface (a web page).The workspace is meant to produce a JSON string as a result (when the workspace runs successfully) and in order to do this I use the DataStreaming transformation service.When the workspace fails,I would like it to send an email advising of the failure.I have already all the notification and topic setup (using JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_FAILURE) and I tested it on the FME sever web interface and it works fine.

we use wfs service as reader but unfortunately some attributes not appear.we will build query filter based on these attributes .

Hello,

We are trying to update/insert/delete records within a Enterprise Asset Management system using the software's web service endpoints.We take information from our CAD/GIS environment and need to feed it into the EAM environment using these web services.I understand the records need to be appropriately formatted but I am confused on how to actually "write" these records out the EAM software's endpoints.I have done some web searching with little luck.I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to get a solution like this off the ground.

I have a powershell script that uses Invoke-RestMethod to generate an FME token.It's using -UseDefaultCredentials to run the Web call because I don't want to hardcode the user/password information in the -Uri request.I get an exception from the FME web service saying that I haven't provided the user/password information,BUT it still works and retrieves the token using UseDefaultCredentials.Is there a way that those parameters can be made optional for the web request so that I don't get an error?

Thank you,

Susan

I am trying to connect to an external database using a web call service through the EPA (located here:

https://www.waterqualitydata.us/portal),but when I use the link from the web service at the bottom of the page under "Show Web Service Calls",i get this error.I think this has something to do with the fact that the service sends the data pulled in a Zip file,and FME can't get passed that to get to the data?Here is the "logfile" that I get after I try to pull it.The file is an Excel File,but again it is bundled into a Zip file:

Has anyone had success with triggering a workbench on server using SOAP?We are replicating an Oracle database using Informatica Power Exchange.For any spatial table,Power Exchange is going to send parameters to FME server to do the replication.I know you can do this with REST,but from the Informatica side it seems easier to do with SOAP,so I was curious if anyone had any luck.

Overview

The workspace attached to this article,described in detail below,will guide you how to create the Visual Calendar Dashboard,as depicted above,for use in FME Server.This 亚搏在线workflow heavily relies on a template created byFullCalendarand leveraging the Google Calendar and FME Server REST APIs.The workspace can be scheduled to run on FME Server providing you with an updated overview of when your FME Server Schedules will run!

Learn how to create your own "Visual Calendar" Dashboard of FME Server Schedules.

Requirements

FME Desktop and Server (2017.1.2 or Newer)
Google Account (Developer KeyforCalendar API)

Downloads

fmeserverschedules-calendarview2017.fmw

Instructions

1.Get a Google Account and Calendar API Key

Create a Google account (or use an existing one) and visit theGoogle Developer API Dashboard.Here you will have to enable the Google Calendar API and then create an API Key – there are plenty ofgreat ‘How To' resourcesavailable to help.

2.Make Google Calendar Public and Determine the Google Calendar ID

The logic for this 亚搏在线workflow revolves around reading and writing to an existing Public Google Calendar.You can use any calendar that you have created on your Google account,or link to an external one.Remember that it has to be publicly accessible!It is important to search for current指令if you need help determining the Calendar ID.

3.Get an FME Server Token

For this 亚搏在线workflow to gather details from FME Server,you need to obtain a validfmetokento access the REST API.It is preferred to get the token from a user that is a member of the fmeadmin role.

4.The Workspace and Template HTML

Download the attached FME Workspace.You can set FME to "Run with Prompt" and replace all the default values with information obtained in the first three steps.

For a more detailed look into the workspace,readWorkspace Overviewbelow.

5.Publish to FME Server and Configure Published Parameters

Publish this workspace to FME Server.You can either manually run the workspace or configure it to run daily on a schedule.Just make sure to adjust all of the Published Parameters to match your unique values and – voila!A visual calendar for you to see all of your FME Server Schedules.

Workspace Overview

Bookmark 1.GET FME Server Schedule List

The Creator transformer starts the 亚搏在线workflow with a null feature to invoke the HTTPCaller.This transformer then gathers a response from the FME Server REST API,/fmerest/v3/schedules,of all the FME Server Schedules.The return is in JSON format,and the FeatureWriter saves the output to file for use later in the workspace.

Bookmark 2.GET Google Calendar Event Ids and DELETE All

The next HTTPCaller in this 亚搏在线workflow gathers a list,again in JSON,of all Events in the Google Calendar by accessing a Google Calendar REST API endpoint.The JSONFlattener and ListExploder will expose each Event as an individual feature for FME to process.The second HTTPCaller in this Bookmark then issues the DELETE command against each Calendar Event – this operation is necessary since this 亚搏在线workflow does not have logic to determine which FME Server Schedules already exist as Events.The Sampler transformer is used here to reduce the number of features flowing into the next Bookmark.
Note:This effectively deletes every item in the specified Google Calendar.It is important to be aware of this!

Bookmark 3.Read Each Schedule as Feature and Filter Disabled

The FeatureReader will read back the JSON response saved earlier – if the Sampler was not previously used,this transformer would create redundant features by reading in the same dataset multiple times.The combination of AttributeExposer and ListExploder creates a separate feature for each FME Server Schedule.TestFilter simply removes any disabled Schedules that are not important to track in the Google Calendar.

Bookmark 4.Create and Format JSON for Google Calendar REST API

There are a lot of transformers here to do attribute manipulation.The AttributeExposer and AttributeValueMapper work together ensuring that the values returned by FME Server's REST API are compatible with the Google Calendar REST API.DateTimeConverter,DateTimeCalculator,and,again,DateTimeConverter are used here to provide an arbitrary length (30 minutes) for each FME Server Schedule.The AttributeManager creates a JSON-formatted string for passing to the Google Calendar REST API.Use of the JSONValidator ensures that the string will not be rejected.

Bookmark 5.POST FME Server Schedules to Google Calendar

HTTPCaller is used here once again to interact with the Google Calendar REST API.This transformer is configured to POST – or add – all the FME Server Schedules to Google Calendar as unique Events.Another Sampler is used to reduce the feature count flowing to the next Bookmark.

Bookmark 6.HTML Template Magic

If the Sampler was not previously used,then for every FME Server Schedule posted to Google Calendar,there would be a new HTML file written – which wouldn't be very efficient.The AttributeCreator placed here contains all of the raw HTML used,with many Published Parameter references allowing for dynamic output based on user input.The HTML Writer is configured to place the resulting output into the proper Dashboards Repository on FME Server where it is automatically made available on the Dashboards page in the Web Interface.

Please note that there are no plans to maintain this workspace,or the contents of this Knowledge Center Article.If you would like to ask more questions or share your enhancements to this 亚搏在线workflow,please start a thread on theFME 亚搏国际在线官网Community Q&A!

Something very similar to the Database Updater transformer.The ArcGIS Server Web feature service writer is still missing and the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service is still broken in the current version.I hope 亚搏在线Safe can get these writers released to production and then have this updater transformer next.

Hello,

I was testing some stuff on the latest version of FME Desktop (2017.1) with the twitter transformer but all the results where redirected to the "error" port.I automatically checked ou the log file to find the following error comment in red:

Tweeter_Tweeter(TwitterFactory): Due to a change in the Twitter API,all Twitter transformers are non-functional.Updated transformers will be released with FME 2017.1.1

Well with all the frequent changes in the API's I believe we have no choice but to wait for 2017.1.1 .

Cheers

Lyes

It is nice to have parameters to set number of retries and time delay between retries in case of connection failure in some transformers connecting to external services such as HTTPCaller,FTPCaller.
