FME Hub user virtualcitymatt just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.SafeFilenameCreatorDescriptionThe SafeFilenameCreator transformer ensures that attribute values are converted into safe filenames by replacing all illegal characters with an underscore (_). It works by internally using a StringReplacer to sanitize the attribute values.ParametersAttributes to Replace (String, Required): The name of the attribute(s) whose values will be converted into a safe filename.BehaviorTakes the value of the specified attribute.Replaces all characters that are not allowed in filenames (such as \/:*?"<>|) with _.Outputs the sanitized string as the same attribute value or a new attribute (depending on configuration).Example UsageInput Attribute- Name: Filename- Value: My:Illegal/FileName?.txtOutput Attribute- Name: Filename- Value: My_Illegal_FileName_.txtNotesOnly affects the characters that are illegal in filenames.Can be combined with other transformers to build fully automated file

FME Hub user daveatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.Encodes point data into the DGGS JSON schema.A DGGS JSON dataset consists of a top zone whose boundary encompasses all the point data and a full set of subzones one or more zoom levels down from the top zone. Each subzone conatins a single set of values for that location. This is conceptually similar to raster data, where the top zone is the raster extents, and the subzones are the pixels. The transformer will group the source points by subzone and calculate the user's choice of mean, median, minimum or maximum to assign to the value of the subzone.How does it work?The DGGSJSONEncoder uses the open source dggal library to generate the top zone and subzone cells. To install the library, please follow the instructions on Installing Python Packages to FME Form to run the following install:fme python -m pip install dggalThis library provides an interface to the following Discrete Global Grids:GNOSIS Global GridIcosahedr
