I have a set of points (>100) and I want to calculate a cost raster along a network fpor each point. For 1 point I can do this by:point > netyworkcostcalculator>surfacemodeller. However when I use multiple points the networkcostcalculator only outputs disconnected features (also when using 'group by' point ID). But even if it would have an output, the output does not contain an pointID attribute, so I can not use the group by option in the surface modeller. Is there an easy way to calculate a cost raster for more then 1 point?  

Is there a DotNET sample to develop a custom Factory ?

I have a test Shapefile with 19 roads/segments. I want to merge all segments that are shorter than 200m with the shortest adjacent segment, and use the attributes of the adjacent segment for the new road segment. I've got most of the logic working, but can't get it to loop until there are no more segments less than 200m in length.  The attached workspace shows one iteration going from 19 records to 18 records. Any pointers as to where I'm going wrong appreciated!

i converted my shape file to tiff which is basically a road layer of an area. That shp contain a name attribute which shows the road names. I want that name to display on tiff image. Pls guide me  

I have created a workspace with the help of Mr. Takashi(a person from this forum) that reads the shapefile ,creates buildings then these buildings are separated in storeys and then the storeys are separated in roof,ground and wall surfaces. All this work is attached.I want to find a way to write this information in CityGML (Lod 2).In conclusion i want a workspace that gives me a CityGML writer with the buildings.

Hello everybody, For the sake of the question, my computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) equipped with a 2.5Ghz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor, 8Gb 1600 Mhz DDR3 of memory and a 1Tb SSD. I am authoring a workspace from NONE to CITYGML.It uses some HTTPCaller transformers to get datasets from a WFS, based on locational user attributes (lat long of the center point and cardinal offsets for the model extents)It models LoD2 trees, LoD2 buildings and LoD1 relief in compliance with the GML 2.0 schema, including appearance and X3D materials.It finally writes all features in a CityModel, which is composed of several feature types on FME (CityModel, Building, Building Parts, etc...) The workspace runs without any errors when feature caching is enabled, and it delivers all features

If I leave them blank I get an empty string inserted into my database (postgis) - I really want Nulls

I'm playing around with security settings and it seems that if you password protect a custom transformer, it still spews out info in the logs from the internal guts of what's going on. Is there a way to prevent the internal guts of a custom transformer from being logged? Ie. I just want to show the input and output of the transformer. Is that possible? Seemed maybe like it was from this article https://community.safe.com/s/article/password-protection-for-fme-workspaces

Hello, I'm working with FME2020. I want to import several excel files with the same schema from one folder as different features. With a xlsx-reader (select multiple folders/files) all files are written in one feature. With a path reader I can't define a schema. Is there a way to read all the files with one reader or do I have to use one reader per file? Thanks in advance

I received a geopackage named "test.GPKG". When I set up a reader I select OGC GeoPackage as format and browse for the dataset. I select "test.GPKG" and click "Parameters" to select the tables. But then I get a error message that no such file exists. FME does not recognise the extension when written in capital. In the message FME is looking for "test.GPKG.gpkg". Solution: rename dataset to extention with lowercase letters. Like "test.gpkg". Then the tables are shown. Question: Is this behavior wanted? Or should FME also recognise the extension written in uppercase letters? Freek

Now and then I have a need to postprocess data written by a FME Server Data Download Service. In good old days (FME Server 2015) it was possible to do this in the Python Shutdown Script. Nowadays the results are obviously auto-zipped by the writers when running the Workspace on FME Server as a Data Download Service. I have not yet found any way to postprocess the results, as they are already zipped and the result filename is unknown (in the Workspace) when the writer has finished its job. My simple example substitutes some text in the file written by the FeatureWriter. This is necessary because of some limitation in the Writer itself. Everything works perfectly well in FME Desktop. In FME Server, published as a Data Download Service, the AttributeFileReader does not find the file returned by the _dataset attribute in the Summary port. Obviously because it is already

I have data that would need to be loaded into different tables. But I need to load them to load in a specific table order because of foreign key constraint. I have put on a connection runtime order which only controls the very next transformer. One of the data paths has a statistics calculator so i thought if i put a statistics calculator on the path that needs to be loaded last, this would give me the order I need but they are still going first.The first 2 are going in at the right order. The 3rd has the statistics calculator. It also has a tester where only the records that passed will be in the statistics calculator. The records that failed do not need to go anywhere. Also, all records can fail the tester. In that case, no related IDs are created for the 4th table so then the Foreign Key Constraint is not violated.I added 2 feature Holders and 2 statistics calculators on the 4th path hoping the 3rd path will finish first, but the statistics calculator for the 3rd pa

Right now I have several parameters accepting a single attribute selection and a published user parameter that accepts multiple attributes (basically you select all the ones you selected above). I want to use a single duplicatefilter transformer to filter out duplicates of the several user parameters that have already been provided.

Hi all,I have an issue when I'm running my workspace. It throws a Python error relating to what I'm guessing is something with the python version: File "C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\envs\\arcgispro-py3\\lib\\site.py", line 177 file=sys.stderr) ^SyntaxError: invalid syntax Warning: not all FMESessions that were created were destroyed before shutdown.

I have a URL that allows me to anonymously download from Dropbox that is successful in browser but I cannot figure out how to use a non-authenticated connection to Dropbox in my DropboxConnector in my workspace. The files are not in my Dropbox account, but in another account and I only have an open URL to download them. Any ideas how to connect to Dropbox anonymously or without a authenticated web connection?

Hi All, I have a customer who is scheduling fme.exe from within Microsoft SSMS - because it has good logging functionality. The fme.exe command is taken from a desktop log file on the server machine. If they run the command in a shell it works, and scheduling with Task Scheduler works, but from inside SSMS as the sql_agent account they get 'FME license system failure: License dependency check failed. This FME suite license is dependent on another license which is not available. Program terminating. Transaction failed. Process exit code 2. The step failed. '. Does anyone have an idea what is the issue? SSMS scheduler has only the one user account available to run jobs, but I assume that could be changed. Thanks.

Hi, I seldom work with rasters so my question is basic, is the canonical way to convert MrSID to MBTiles to read pyramid level 0 from the SID, pass the image through WebMapTiler (with any zoom level filtering you need, or hands-free auto mode) then write to MBTiles with fanout expression @Value(_zoom_level) and feature type Somename_@Value_quadkey)? Thanks.
