Passing CRC attributes as a published parameter

Hi , How can I pass the CRC attributes as a published user parameter (e.g., $(CRC_ATTR)) The purpose is to automate the workspace, without having to re-enter the attributes manually in the CRCCalculator transformer. FME Desktop 2014 SP3 Thanks, Sami

Iterative execution of an FME workflow

I'm new to FME. I have a process that intersects a line buffer from Oracle with a shp stored in local. In the end there is a dissolver to reduce the number of polygons and write it in a shp.The problem is that from Oracle come 11 million records ... and in the dissolver I get an error.My question would be if there would be a way to execute the process in the following way: that I read 500,000 records, process them, write them in the shp, then another 500,000, then others and so on until the end. It could be done?

Are there any tools that can be used to document the contents of a workspace?

Keep only one attribute (published parameter) renamed in a shape?

I would like my script to keep only one attribute designated by the user in a shape in which it will be renamed. I created the workspace below. the attribute "ATTRIBUTE" persists in keeping the value 0 while the selected attribute contains 5, 12, 8, 45 .... Where can my mistake be? Thank you

Dynamically Keep/Remove attribute fields?

Is there a transformer that is a cross between an AttributeKeeper/Remover and a Tester? Meaning that I need to dynamically split my data not on attribute values but on the attribute field names, so all of the fields with the suffix '_alias' are routed one direction and all other fields are routed another.Any thoughts on how I can achieve this?

Hi all, I have a geojson file, where I would like to concatenate the some key value pair to one as array. I have tried ListConcatenator however it simple concatenate without creating array. You can see the below my attempt and desired result. Thanks in advance. Output of ListConcatenator{ "type" : "Feature", "geometry" : { "type" : "LineString", "coordinates" : [ [ 4.3458008766, 50.8345288033 ], [ 4.346331954, 50.8348774905 ], [ 4.3474423885, 50.8357197041 ] ] }, "properties" : { "osm_id" : "", "osm_way_id" : "30010739", "_amenity{0}.amenity" : "hospital", "_amenity{1}.amenity" : "pharmacy", "_amenity{2}.amenity" : "drinking_water", "_amenity{3}.amenity" : "pub", "_concatenated" : "hospital,waste_basket,pharmacy,drinking_water,pub"

how to add an attribute in the Citygml table view

I have an IFC conversion to citygml, in which I created spaces in revit and I converted them using the Citygml Room feature. I want to have the information about the volume of these spaces in the final Citygml Room attribute table after the conversion. the volume information is stored in the BaseQuantities.GroosVolume attribute Of IfcSpace.

Renaming attribute from list with _element_index

I have a list which I exploded using the listExploder. The output contains an attribute _element_index. I want to create an attribute with a name composed of the value of _element_index concatenated with another string. When I try to write the name of this new attribute in an AttributeCreator, it seems like the @Value(_element_index) doesn't work as no new attribute is created (the new attribute name doesn't appear as an option in the AttributeExposer).

When reading features from REVIT Reader reader, some attributes like BASEQUANTITIES.GrossFloorArea were not being populated (missing). When reading this IFC in FmeDatainspector, they are not missing.

AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner with Group By - what happens to gaps between polygons in different groups?

I'm using AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner to fill in holes created within or on the edge of polygons in a dataset of 1.7 million polygons. This takes some time (12 hours for the whole Workspace although there are other transformers in there). I have wondered about using Group By in AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner but I don't know whether this would mean that gaps between polygons in different groups would be cleaned or not.For example, polygon 1 is in group A and polygon 2 is in group B. If there's a gap between these polygons, and I'm using Group By in AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner, will the gap be filled in?This is on my to do list of experiments but if anyone knows the answer straight away, please let me know :-)BTW "AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner" is not available as a topic to tag this post with...

I would like to pass date/time user parameter (Date Ranges) to a SQL-Non Spatial reader where clause

Hello,I would like to pass date/time user parameter (Date Ranges) to a SQL-Non Spatial reader where clause. I have tried the following with no success.[wo_complete_dt]>= {ts $(DateRangeStart)} AND [wo_complete_dt]< {ts $(DateRangeEnd)}[wo_complete_dt]>= {ts ‘$(DateRangeStart)’} AND [wo_complete_dt]< {ts ‘$(DateRangeEnd)’}[wo_complete_dt]>= '$(DateRangeStart)' AND [wo_complete_dt]<'$(DateRangeEnd)'[wo_complete_dt]>= $(DateRangeStart) AND [wo_complete_dt]< $(DateRangeEnd)However, if I change the user parameter to a text type or input the dates directly into the Where clause as shown here it does work. [wo_complete_dt]>={ts '2019-06-09 00:00:00'} AND [wo_complete_dt]<{ts '2019-06-16 00:00:00'} Can someone please guide me?Using FME Desktop 2019. Thanks in advance,Keith

Using Dynamic Filename as parameter on FME Server

Hi, I have a workspace which looks at all files in a location (using a "Directory and File Pathnames" reader), picks the file that I want (using a tester), reads the attributes with a feature reader and writes it to a database. This works fine when I run this workbench in desktop. When I publish the workspace to FME server it requires the user to fill in the Source Dataset. This workbench is triggered by another one, so it fails at this step. Is there a way to use an attribute as the default source dataset on FME Server?Thanks in advance

GDB alias field with shapefile writer

I have a gdb featurewriter that passes through to a shp featurewriter. For attributes with names at the 10 character limit, the shp writer is using their _alias field to populate instead of the correct one.Example: ASSETCLASS field is being filled with 'Asset Class', instead of 'Rail'.Is there a way around this besides adding in and attribute removed for each of the Feature Types?

Shared FME folders regarding custom transformer

Good day, I created a custom transformer (*.fmx file) that is used across different workbenches and users. To use the custom transformer I specify the location on FME Options - Default Paths - Shared FME folders. This custom transformer is saved in two different locations with teh same name depending on what database and some other variables we are using. Where can I specify the one I want to use in a script? Is there any parameter in a workbench I can set to point to the correct shared fme folder for this specific workbench? The shared fme folder I want to use is depending on the script I am running. Thank you.

FME Workbench as SAAS

Hi, would it be possible to use FME Workbench in a SAAS scenario? I am aware of the FME Cloud solution which is great, yet I would like to "rent" FME Workbench to develop workspaces (for publishing them to FME Cloud..." or just run any translation. Or would I have to create a Docker container and use that? In that case it's good to know that I have a customer that does not use the Docker/AWS cloud environments. Thanx for any comments.

File name using attribute with single value

Settings per workbench

Is there a way to make your workbench settings independently from workspace to worskpace ? It looks like settings are 'user based' and not 'workspace instance based' ... When you set for example Python3 or enable Feature Caching in one workscpace than all open workspaces on same machine will inherit the same settings. Is this true ? or im missing something ... Windows , FME 2018Jorge

Feature contains elements from two lists

I have a set of lists _option1{0}=A _option1{1}=B _option1{1}=C _option2{0} = X _option2{0} = Y _option2{0} = Z and valuesfeature 1 _list{0} = A3 _list{1} = 7B2 feature 2 _list{0} = 4X feature 3 _list{0} = C2 _list{1} = 3Z I need to identify only those features that whose list elements contain items from both _option1{} and _option2{} . In the above example, that would be feature 3. The data list values are not an exact match to the values in the option lists, just contain them. There can be any number of elements in the data list. The options are the same for every feature.
