New Format & System Support
Esri Knowledge
New to 2021.2
Load data in and out of Esri Knowledge Graph to connect spatial and non-spatial data, enabling new analytics and insights.
Read or write to Esri Mobile Geodatabase and build fully interoperable workflows with Esri applications.
Monitor activities, send notifications, and exchange files in Microsoft Teams to streamline data integration workflows via chat.
Write to Universal Scene Description (USD), an open source format for 3D scenes and models.
Transform with Speed & Agility
Transformer Fine-Tuning
We’ve been fine-tuning the inner workings of FME to make transformers faster, easier to configure, and able to accelerate high volume data processing and advance your spatial analysis. Please keep your arms, legs, and items within your workspace at all times, and hang on tight as FME 2021 continues to accelerate and drive speed to insight!
Integrate Streaming Data
With the brand new feature Streams in FME Flow, it’s easier than ever to integrate streaming data and IoT for continuous, real time data processing.
With the enhanced TimeWindower, you can elevate your real-time streaming workflows and easily manage data in-order or out-of-order.
Streaming data of any volume, from low or sporadic to dedicated high volume where low latency is a requirement, are perfect for Streams. As an alternative to bulk or batch workflows, Streams enables data to be processed before it’s stored so you can summarize, filter, and use data the way you need to.
Data-Aware Transformer Dialogs
Finally! No more struggling to remember the exact values in your source data.
Now when configuring Test or TestFilter clauses, you can start typing and see matching values or simple use checkboxes.
Parameter Dialog Builder
Specially made for all you FME Hub users and contributors, the parameter manager is here to save the day.
Use a simple drag and drop interface (...does that sound familiar?) to build user parameter dialogs for workspaces and custom transformers. This makes the process of sharing your creations easier. Recipients and users of your work will only need to adjust the parameters you’ve specifically requested instead of needing to fill in more than what your workspace or custom transformer requires.
Automate with Increased Control
With more updates to Automations in FME Flow, it’s even easier to manage integration patterns and maximize the value of your data.
-
Gain greater control over finding and choosing the geometry you need with the improved Geometry Parameters. Combined with a fresh UI redesign and a new toolbar, you’ll experience a more intuitive workflow process.
New to 2021.2
- Use Azure AD authentication to manage access to FME Flow in a centralized location and integrate cloud services with the FME Platform and other applications.
New to 2021.2
- Reduce duplicate work and runtime with Split-Merge Block by creating multiple output ports to run workspace actions. With elastic split-merge control over parallel processing, you can build more complex Automations!
- Use Guaranteed Delivery to configure the number of workflow attempts as well as handle and track failures in multiple internal and external systems. With Guaranteed Delivery, you can ensure automated actions always occur.
- Manually trigger Automations workflows with the click of a button or by making a REST call. This is perfect for Automations that process big jobs or for troubleshooting complex triggers.
- New security authentication support for Generic Directory saves time when configuring an FME Flow installation.
Autoscaling Engines in Your Deployment
We are setting the groundwork for autoscaling, so you always have the best engine capacity for your specific needs. With FME 2021, you can access job statistics, fine-tune Automations based on how long each node takes to run, and access historical, current, and predicted load information.
We’ve also added the ability to define advanced Engine Assignment Rules, giving you more flexibility and power over the distribution of resources. This allows you to maximize the value of FME Engines by deploying them where they’re needed the most.
Coming Soon: The New FME Flow Hosted
The all-new FME Flow Hosted is sure to take you and your data to new heights. With plenty of new features, you’ll gain greater control over FME Flow, helping you save time and build faster workflows. Coming in January 2022.
Have FME 2021 With You Anytime, Anywhere
With the latest FME mobile apps in your pocket, you can bring your augmented models to life on Android devices. Added support for high location accuracy and initial model scaling will allow you to process data more intuitively.
The enhanced FME AR Writer provides additional support for 3D formats and can power better FME AR mobile experiences. Over on FME Data Express, the new search functionality, improved navigation, and visual update lets you run your FME Flow jobs with less hassle, so that you can focus on more crucial tasks.
