Data

My target ESRI File Geodatabase (FGDB) is following UPDM 2019 data model. By that, we have few feature classes which contain many subtypes. Many feature class attributes have defined default values on the level of the FCL subtype (AssetGroup) usually in combination with domain.What I noted is that default value of the attributes not contained in the FGDB writer is not populated in the target FCL. We have huge number of attributes on the FCL level and it would be quite some work to pick up each default value and set it up in the writer. Maintaining such workbench would be also quite demanding.Can someone please tell me is it possible to get somehow the default value of the attribute automatically populated in the FGDB like when manual editing in ArcGIS Pro? I am using FME 2019.2 with ArcGIS Pro 2.4.Thanks in advance,Dušan  

Is there a way to get the Modified By username/name from One Drive?

Hello  I have 3 data sources or tables and I would like to make one Excel reader (for one file) with 3 worksheets, one for each data source. How to do this simply?Thanks 

I'm attempting to write several features unto a google sheet via google writer. What's odd is that when the workspace is finished running, only a fraction of the records are actually on the spreadsheet. Despite the software saying all of it went through. Looking at the log, I see the following error : 'Google Sheets Writer: Server reported error code 409 (Conflict) when writing to cell A4 on worksheet 'Notes Pairing'. The worksheet may have been modified outside of FME during this translation'This error repeats 89 more times since FME is attempting to write on 90 cells.Not sure how to proceed at this point.

I have a kml file that is generated by FME that I use as a layer in Google Maps. The auto generated kml file has a lot of kml features/elements that are not required for the display, making the kml file unnecessary bulky.  Is there a way to remove such features? I have done this by hand and can confirm that the kml file still displays correctly in Google Maps. I assume that the XML Updater should be used for this, but I have not been able to get the required results. I most probably did something wrong in my implementation with my limited understanding of how it is supposed to be used. Perhaps there is a way to do this with the kml transformers, which I was not able to find. Any inputs on how to resolve this would be much appreciated.As an example, say you have the following (sample) kml file where you would like to remove elements/features.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- Generated

I'm reading in bunch of dwg files with PathReader, then give those to DWG Reader, outputing through <Generic> port with some exposed attributes. I need to have Path to reader files, but exposed fme_dataset attribute is missing. Is there any workaround?

HelloI am using HttpCallers to populate fields in an ArcSDE database based on values from a Json feed. I have a case where incoming features (lets say feature 1) has two attributes 'References type' and 'References MessageID'."References type" would have values like "Update" or "Cancellation" and References MeesageID will have the ID of an older record that is already in the database (feature 2), and is affected by the new feature (feature 1) and the specifications in 'References Type' So I need to make a call where I after filtering out features that have values in "References Type" column looks in the database to find Feature2.ID = Feature1.References MessageID. And then populates another field in feature 2 ("References") with values from "References type" & "ID" in feature 1.I hope someone can help me how make this in FME preferably using httpCaller.

Hi SafersCan you please take a look at this post, it might be a bug:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/107806/rename-csv-file-before-reading-in-data.htmlI was able to reproduce the behavior in FME 2019.2.2.0 (20200103 - Build 19817 - WIN64)

I have a CSV file that is downloaded from a source that I cannot edit. The CSV that is exported contains a character ("?") in its file name which results in FME (I'm using 2019.2.3) failing to read the file. Ultimately this workspace will run on FME Server and will access this CSV from an email that it receives.The filename is FILE_(?)_FILE.csv and this flags an error in FME Desktop (which I expect will be replicated on FME Server) on attempting to load the data into the workspace:CSV reader: Failed to open file 'C:\\FILE_(?)_FILE.csv' for reading. Please ensure that the file exists and you have sufficient privileges to read itIt looks like FME is incorrectly interpreting the file name string and is obviously then unable to find it.An obvious solution is to ask the end user to remove the "?" symbol from the file name before running the workspace but this is prone to error and I would much rather handle it in the FME worksp

I'm having difficulties writing out the intensity of my point cloud pts after thinning them.I see the intensity in the XYZ input but can't see how to write it out.

Hello,I tested the solution proposed here to convert shp to dwg : https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/18703/how-to-convert-shp-to-dwg-esri-shapefile-to-autoca.htmlWhen I open the dwg in CAO software, I no longer have the attributes associated with the objects.Which transformers should be used for this ?Thanks you,    

Hi - Does anyone have some pointers on how to handle special characters in layer names against ArcGIS Online when using the in-built writers?e.g. I have a layer on ArcGIS Online called Layer 1 (Addressing)FME changes this to Layer 1 _Addressing_ which in-turn will cause the transformation to fail.How does one handle this without changing the layer name as it has to be be this.Thanks 

Is there a way to add fields from excel into a feature service field on ArcCollector?I'm hoping to take the items of a column on excel and place them in a form for their related attribute.i.e. fill in a field on multiple forms in an ArcCollector project using excel

HelloI could extract the IfcRelSpaceBoundary using the Deprecated reader. However, it doesn't have any geometry. There is an attribute (Connection geometry) which refers to the instance_name of the related geometry but I can't retrieve this geometry. Is there any way to extract the geometry of IfcRelSpaceBoundary in FME? @daveatsafe

Hi all,  I am trying to make a .shp from the areas with a minimum slope (DEM). The picture shows the output of the RasterSlopeCalculator (its about areas around water). I need to find a way to identify the transitional value of slope where the colour white turns to black, and then filter out the black areas.  If someone has an idea, or knows if this is even possible, please let me know! :)  Thanks.

In Esri ArcGIS (AGOL) feature service writer, there is an option to view written data in fme.How can I access these written features in python ?

Hi! I have an Excel file with ID numbers of different train stops, 20 of them. I wanted to find all DWG files that are in the subfolder Z\\Modell\\.*03.dwg but it takes around 1 h to run, at this point is it faster just to find them manually and run the workspace. Is there any way to improve the search time? The "root" folder is a drive, but all files are within a folder is called "4\\_CAD" so I limit the search to only the subfolders of my starting folder. Trying to make it faster my only use the subfolder I know contain the other folders and files.I was thinking maybe change it to have 2 feature writers after eachother instead, one that only searches for the correct folder then look for the files within the found folders. Change allowed path type to only folders then only files. Other suggestions?Also I figured if I have 60 subfolders, for every feature read it will look in all 60 of them 20 times over, th

Hello, I am new to this software, i have a bunch of KML Files that i have been successfully been able to edit. However when i go to run the software it combines them into the same file, is there a way to have the same number of output files as input? i.e. save individually not combine them   

Working in a company with a variety of software packages, I have been tasked with making an unusual MapInfo layer available as read only in QGIS. The difficulty is that a lot of the data on the MapInfo layer has been added as text direct to the map, with a variety of font colours, rather than being held in the attributes table and applied as labels.Is there a way to convert the MapInfo layer into rasta layer to view in QGIS, almost as a photo of how it would appear in MapInfo?Thank you

Hi all,A very dumb question: below part gives me what I wanted which is to copy a file from a folder to another location. But how do I control the sequence so that this part is executed first, and then go to other part of the scripts. I meant both "Path" and "FileCopy" don't have a connector (to connect to previous step or to the next step after these are done).
