Hello,I am trying to open IFC 2X3 files of 2MB size that have been exported from Aecosim and FME 2019.0 returns an error. or returns only the semantics of the IFC.I am able to open successfully other IFC files that were created some months ago, so this is quite unexpected considering I have not changed the parameters that I was always using. As I suspect this is quite an abstract question and testing with the model would be necessary, would it possible for a colleague of FME to assist due to data confidentiality issues?Of course, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, George Floros

Hi, I have hit the maximum row limit for an excel spreadsheet with the excel output writer (1,048,576 rows). Is there an easy option to overflow the rows into another spreadsheet?Should I use a row counter and tester to overflow the data to another spreadsheet?

I want to run bunch of postgreSQL SQL's through a file using psql command.To check whether psql works in SQLExecutor, I tried putting below statement SQL executor.psql -c 'SELECT * FROM testdb.test'; However, I got below error.psql -c 'SELECT * FROM testdb.test';'): 'ERROR: syntax error at or near "psql"LINE 3: psql -c 'SELECT * FROM testdb.test; ^'A fatal error has occurred.

I am fairly new to FME and I am attempting some of my first translations from SHP files to Oracle Spatial Tables. Everything completes successfully apart from the following errors I get several times through the translation:BADNEWS: An error occurred while fetching from query `SELECT table_name, column_name, DimInfo, SRID FROM USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA' : OCI_NO_DATA (ocistmt.cpp:663)I get additional errors when publishing after writing the features to the DB:118904) Invalid geometry for component view V_STREETCTR_LN, FID 104594211, CID 1, and LTT_ID 0 - No geometry was produced, probably because of a mismatch of G3E_COMPONENT.G3E_GEOMETRYTYPE and the actual geometry, or because of an un-supported SDO_GType.I have tried this across multiple features and run into the same problems each time.Has anyone run into these issues translating from SHP to Oracle using FME?Sample Workspace:Log:

I am using LDAP/Active Directory (Tech Preview) Transformer to access users for an entire organisation. When I use DN as ou=Users,ou=branchname, ou=departmentname,ou=Department,DC=domain,dc=domainname=ca, i get users listed from that branch only. However, I am interested in pulling out users from the whole organization which has many departments and branches. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,I have a very large CityGML dataset consisting of millions of features. I would like to split this into smaller datasets so that each dataset contains at most a few hundred features, grouped by location (eg, possibly turning each city block into a separate CityGML file). The goal is to turn each CityGML dataset into a Cesium 3D Tileset :CityGML -> [CityGML] -> [B3DM]Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings,I am trying to create an FGDB empty geodatabase with feature datasets, feature classes & attributes. I have all these information stored in a xls file, I want to read this xls and create the FGDB accordingly. If anyone has a workflow, please share. Thanks in Advance.  

Hi,I have a lot of DXF Files in different folders. The DXF files have all the same layers.I don´t need every layer of the files for my work. So I want to read every DXF file, filter the layers which I need, summarize them to different groups and store them in a new file.How can I built such a workbench?Thanks and best regards.   

Is there any transformer that help me to change from any of the python valid formats for GUIDs to the arcpy valid format to insert it in the geodatabase?The valid formats from python are:{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f}00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f{000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f}the valid format received by the geodatabase is:{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f} thanks!!

I need to read an Excel spreadsheet. I use user defined parameters to set a filename and a sheet name.This is a simplified workflow:This is a parameter I use: and this is schema settings for FeatureReader It gives me the following error: Here is my test example

Hello,  I am new to FME Server and would like to know if there is a way to filter the output of a workbench with automatons?  I my case i have two Schedule triggers that run a workspace. When the workspace if finished it updates a Excel file on a network drive. Now I would like to filter the contents in the Excel file so that i send an email to one person or another depending on what values are in the updated Excel.  IS this possible with automatons?   

We're having significant performance issues with Xref drawings created by FME. In AutoCAD there are options in the "Save As" dialog to allow the drawing to be saved with layer and spatial indexes, but I can't find a way to set this in the DWG or Map OD writers in FME. Is this available somewhere or simply not possible with FME 2018? If it turns out this is not possible in the currently available writers, then as a work -around, if I save the template drawing with layer and spatial indexes, will this carry through to the drawings created by the writer in my workspace? Thanks,Gary

Hi Folks,I understand that the jobs on FME Server (v. 2018.1.1 - Build 18567 - win32 ) are executed with the user that uploaded/published the workbench to the server. We work with active directory on FME Server. So some people have rights to publish and schedule jobs on FME server.Where can you easily change the user that runs/executed that job in the web interface of FME Server?We also configured the fme engine service runs with a specific user with access to certain network drives. Does it mean that this access is only used in the workbenches that were uploaded on FME Server with that specific user account we configured for the engine service?Thanks for sharing your knowledge,Francis

I am trying to read from two large csv files with one FeatureReader for each file. Each FeatureReader is connected to a separate FeatureWriter to write to a Postgres database. I experience the problem that all data is cached first and then delivered to the writer, which will eventually exceed my memory. Since there are no transformers in between I do not now how to solve this issue. I experienced this problems in the past when I used ordinary writers, but never with a FeatureWriter, so I guess it has something to do with the usage of FeatureReader.

Hi Suddenly that the FME can't load the CSV file.When I select the csv file as input of the reader, there is exclamation mark on the Parameter. I checked the parameter is fine (delimiter, fields name, data start line) as the preview also look fine.But the "OK" button can't be clicked. Anyone know what is wrong? FYI, I can open the file normally with excel. I'm using FME Workbench 2018.

Dear people,I have an excel file which contains a dynamic table, in this table there are formulas referencing to parameters on another sheet. Without going into detail, there needs to be a recalculation of certain coordinates. So far i was able to get an excel sheet with the extracted coordinates into the right order and structure. At this point I just want to write away this coordinates into the excel file dynamic table and let excel do the calculations so i can use these new coordinates further on into my module. So the problems i have are: 1) How do i write away the data into a dynamic table? Now it just puts my data underneath the table...2) Is it possible for FME to get the values of parameters which are written on other sheets but in the same excel file to do this calculations (also the sheets don't look the same, different columns etc.) Any ideas that can put my in the right direction will be greatly appreciated, If

I have come across some examples where FME 'appears' to change the names of levels which are read in from a dgn file. When viewed in Microstation and Bentley View (v8) features will be on a level called 'UT-UT-CAT_Survey_Underground_Unknown' but FME says these features come from a level called 'AR-AR-CEILING FINISH-Z'.What is FME reading to get this alternative level name?

I have a solar potential raster file which shows the solar potential on each building pixel wise at 0.5m resolution and no data in the rest of the area. I want to show that potential map on top of my 3d Building citygml. is there any way to overlay the raster over the 3d buildings.

Hi,When a job is run on our FME Server system, I see this list of shared folders for formats, transformers, coordinate systems and coordinate system exceptions:How does FME Server determine these folders? Which user is used? Does it depend on any user logged in onto the server? Is it documented somewhere?Thankx for any answer.

I often get this error, while the Workspace-Runner was started with new parameters. Reducing the log-level did not help Any idea how to fix this? I found no comparable community-Item .. I am calling a Workspace-Runner within the project. The workspace is called thousends of times. The calling workspace and the called one work each into their own log-Files. In this example 954 of 1461 calls crashed. In the logfile of the called wsp there are now errors mentionend.Many workspace-calls crash because the newly initialized workspace can't access the logfile because the last call has not yet closed it.This is the error description:I would like to use the option with concurrent processes, but it increases the error rate.The called wsp has one logger configured like this:What else is needed to give you an idea of the problem?Looking forward to a solutiion,Christoph

I have a logger output excel spreadsheet where the easting, northing, height, and sensor value are in one column but I need them each to be an independent column. So I need to add four new columns to the excel and populate them from the one column while leaving the loggercode and dateutcdate alone.

hello,i am trying to texture a building but the image just stretches over the whole wall.what i want is for it to stay the size it originally was and if the whole wall is not filled in that it puts another one next to it.

HI,how can I adjust the writer, so I can specify the destination folder every time different?I have the same Workspace, but I need to write the results all the time in the other Folders. I do not want to create/add all the time a new one. And I need to publish it into a Server, so the writer, and also the reader need to be a flexible.Thanks
