Is there a way to truncate a list?  For example if I have a list of 30 items but only want the first 10 to be kept. I know I could manually create the list with an attribute creator using _list{0}, _list{1}, _list{2}, etc but just wanted to see if there is a transform or more automated way to do something like this. Regards Dean

I've been able to upload files to the root and to an existing path, I'm wondering if FTPCaller while uploading can create a new file path (directory)?sftp://server.com/newpath/file.txt (newpath does not exist on sftp server)ftp://server.com/newdir/file

I have a bunch of statistics that I want to add to a HTML report similar to the image below. Not all columns have the same number of rows nor is each column / row related across the table. So was thinking that if I could create a table and each cell contain a list or similar.   Any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thanks Dean

Hi, Is it possible to make a Intersection and set that, work just if the two, or three pologon contains other by 90%. Thanks

I have set up a workspace which reads in an Excel Spreadsheet whose attributes may change everytime that the workspace is run. As this workspace is part of a larger chain of workspaces I would like to be able to run it without having to reload the reader to ensure that the latest attributes and features are being brought through each time.I have tried setting the 'Scan Schema in Dynamic Workflow' parameter, but with no success. Is there something I am missing?

I've successfully made an S3 Web Connection and can write a file to a specific S3 bucket. I'm not seeing how to send the a file to a specific folder within the bucket using the S3Connector transformer settings. See attached screenshot. I have the Request Action set to "Upload." There are input fields for Bucket and Path. I want to upload a file to my bucket "testBucket" and place the file in a subfolder named "Files" that's in a project specific folder named "$(projectName)." In S3 that's testBucket > $(projectName) folder > Files folder > file.png As it is, the Bucket input has to match the S3 bucket name you are uploading to, but it also creates a new folder with your bucket name, and the Path input creates a subfolder within that bucket. In S3 that's testBucket > testBucket folder > $(projectName) folder > file.png.  Any suggestions on how to target testBucket > $(projectName) folder > Files folder

Is it possible to use one a basemap with the MapnikRasterizer similar to the way you can use it in the HTMLReportGenerator

I'd like to learn how to extract end nodes (as opposed to nodes at intersections) from a list of nodes coming out of the TopologyBuilder. I'm only putting in a few alignments that intersect in the TopologyBuilder. I've seen some similar questions here but there wasn't enough detail in the answers for me to catch on. An example workflow or screenshot would be great.  

Hello all, I am trying to create a report header that is an image (left justified), some text (Centre Justified) and another image (right justified) but can seem to figure it out.  The images remain constant but the text will change as I want to create a "map book" series based on an attribute. My guess is that I need to add it as CSS but just need some direction as that is not my forte 🙂 Cheers Dean

I would like to try and create a map series using HTMLReportGenerator that will contain a map and a table where the user can select a feature in the table and the map zooms to the selected feature (or a new map is displayed) with the relevant information. Is this possible?

Hello, I have a satellite raster in GeoTIFF format and am trying to generate a grey8 image for selected RGB colours. Similar to what is in the attached image. Above is the RGB satellite image and below is a grey8 image for the selected RGB values with a "falloff" or "threshold value" similar to the photoshop selection filter.  I tried RasterExpressionEvaluator and the examples to give me some ideas but I'm not able to make it do what I want. This video shows the exact output I am trying to achieve - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha3HdYBzU_Q Ideally, I would like to split an RGB image into "n" most common colours using a "falloff" value, and export them as a greyscale "mask". Then I would import them as a blended texture in unreal engine. Appreciate any help!/Sanjay 

Hello,I wonder if anyone has experience in both FME and Pentaho. I have several years experience in FME, but know nothing about Pentaho.Currently our team of Pentaho users considers the switch to FME. I have shown the possibilities and when it comes to functionality, FME seems very promising! However, Pentaho seems to be 6 times faster than FME... This might be a showstopper and we want to know whats is causing this. Does anyone have experience to get better performance writing to (or reading from) Oracle datasets? I never had the experience that FME is slow in reading/writing to Oracle, but when I see the speed of Pentaho, I was surprised of its speed.We did a test of a ETL-script that reads about 912.000 records from an Oracle Database and writes the result directly to another Oracle table. In short: SQLCreator (type Oracle) --> FeatureWriter (type Oracle). Duration in FME: 5 - 6 minutes; duration in Pentaho is about 45 seconds. We were reading and writing to the very same databas

I'm trying to format a human readable date time and I want to include the seconds but nano seconds are a bit much.  As far as I can tell there is no date time flag which is just seconds without the fractional seconds so it seems like you need to remove them with a non-datetime tool. Am I missing something? Date times were created using the DateTimeNow function.

 Hi, I am using a pythoncaller in FME to convert the KML color from the linestyle (a string, hex ABGR) to a C# Color (ARGB 32 bits integer) (see workbench)  KML doc Colorstyle (https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#colorstyle): For example, if you want to apply a blue color with 50 percent opacity to an overlay, you would specify the following: <color>7fff0000</color>, where alpha=0x7f, blue=0xff, green=0x00, and red=0x00. (ABGR !)   With FME Desktop under Windows (2021.2.4), this works well. => 2022-03-29 18:00:28|  0.6| 0.0|INFORM|Attribute(32 bit integer)     : `line_color' has value `-16733441'    Running this workbench on the Linux FME server (docker install!) gives different results. => 2022-03-29 16:01:14|  0.2| 0.0|INFORM|Attribute(64 bit integer)     : `line_color' has value `4278233855' I have some questions here: 1) Why does this happen?2) How do I solve this?3) Is there a more elegant and consistent way to accomplish

fme_dataset and fme_basename attributes are there when read normally, but not when read with a FeatureReader.

I am trying to read metadata in FGDC format from a feature class using a python script and workspace runner to call in a workbench. I want to know how I can set a parameter to call a feature class from a geodatabase.

How can I reference the CSV created from a Writer to upload to AWS S3 using S3Connector? I can successfully use a Reader to reference a file on my computer and upload to AWS S3 using my Web Connection and S3Connector, but I don't know how to reference a newly created file within my worflow. See attached.

Hi,For some time, I used the following approach to open a KML dataset (both in Desktop for development, and in Server for operational use, version 2020.1.0.1, both running on Windows (server) OS): Create a public parameter "INPUT_FOLDER"Create a public parameter "INPUT_FILE"Add a KML Reader for a specific KMl file to the workbench, which defaults to a public parameter "SourceDataset_OGCKML"Make this a private parameter, and change the definition to: "$(INPUT_FOLDER)\$(INPUT_FILE)" I then use either UNC or local paths in the INPUT_FOLDER to point the reader to the correct location. Last week, we started migrating to 2021.2.4, which I installed on my workstation (windows). For the sake of completeness I think I should mention we are targeting an FME server running in a docker container on a linux host. This approach stopped working, with the message :2022-03-19 14:58:52|   0.8|  0.0|INFORM|Loaded module 'OGCKML' from file 'C:\Program Files\FME\2020.1.0.1\plugins/KML21.dll'2022-03-19 14:5

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 validated according to the CityGML schema. Examples:Center point -23.593186, -46.669269, offset 50m to all cardinal directions.Same center point, offset 100m to all cardinal directions. The problem rises whe
