Data

Hi all,I have a set of 8000+ GML files that i wish to batch process into a geodatabase, i have found that putting them a workspace runner is effective but slows down massively past 50 GML files. Therefore, i want a way to write a new geodatabase file every 50 features, to reduce the 8000 GML files to 160 geodatabases to then combine afterwards.Has anyone any ideas? Apart from a huge conditional value in attribute manager!CheersJack

I am having some problems writing extended attributes to a dwg, I have attached the source dwg and my workflow.The source dwg contains a polyline that has several fields of extended data, my aim is to be able to change a few of the fields with a string replacer, for example in this case change “JSY” to “CWG”.I am able to inspect the extended data list in the reader and change the values, however when it comes to writing to dwg the attributes don’t come through. Running the command XDLIST, shows no extended entity data on the entity.Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there -  I'm trying to make schema changes to an SDE feature class as well as an SDE table.... both have attachments and the obligatory relationship class. When I try and output to the writer using "Drop and create", the attachments (and relationship class) are deleted. But when I output using another option (e.g. truncate), they are not deleted. I'd like to use "drop and create" because we need to reorder fields and add new ones. Wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or not understanding the process, or not using a much better alternative. Or possibly all 3!

I have multiple FME workbenches that read from a single SQL Server Spatial Database. This is a global database so I often have more than one workbench trying to access the database. However, it seems like the first workbench is locking the table preventing others from reading from it. This seems more likely to be an issue if the SQL table has triggers enabled. Is there away to get around this problem?

Hello everybody, I need to create a kml file with 3D geometry in .dae format (SketchUp). The links are in the table of my source file with point geometry. I need to obtain this: Is there anybody who knows how to do?Thank you!

HiI juste use an AttributeManager after a reader which works fine. My value is changed.but the writer doesn't update my record in the table.I tried all options in the writer to match the row selection ... nothing works.Do you have an idea about this issue ?Thanks 

Hello, I would like to write some data from my statisticscalculator to a sharepoint list. If the list with the autocad input name does not exist, it should create a new list with the same name as the autocad input. After Running my current workspace it tells me the following:Cannot find a matching schema named 'C:\Cloud\Sync\_Projecten\FME\Inwerken Progress Checker/Input\Fme Generated\Karteringen&Areas.dwg' in the known set of schemas: ''. Known schema sources are: 'SHAREPOINT_2'. Please verify writer feature type configuration.Python Exception <KeyError>: 'C:\\Cloud\\Sync\\_Projecten\\FME\\Inwerken Progress Checker/Input\\Fme Generated\\Karteringen&Areas.dwg'A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsA fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsA fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details I am confused

I have a input file geodatabase that just has points. The workbench first uses the file name extractor transformer to get info on the input file. I use the results from the file name extractor to build out the output file path because I want it to be dynamic. For ExampleInput: C:/Temp/Input.gdbOutput: C:/Temp/Output.gdb (Dynamically created based on the file dir of the Input, name would also be generated)On the output file geodatabase destination fanout directory I put in the user param "OutputDir" that is blank to start but filled out by an attributeCreator that overwrites the value after the file name extractor transformer runs, same for the output filename but it does not seem to work dynamically and the value must be hardcored in the writer to work?

Hi all,I am trying to find a solution that will allow me to query a record in AGOL and compare the attachment globalID to the local attachment globalID. Ideally, I want to either keep the existing photo in our system as it is the same as online or download a replaced photo or download only any added images to the record.Using the updatedetector is the obvious way. I have tried to explode the attachment list etc. and even make the globalID populate another field for comparison but I get nowhere.A few things about the jobs being audited via collector.the file name isn't processed until fme brings inhouse so I cannot compare via filename only.The user may add additional photos at a later date or may delete the existing attachment only to replace with a new one. In that case, they have the same name.Any help and suggestions would be appreciated,Thanks all.

FME has a WLAS reader, but i do not see a WLAS writer. Will FME be developing this in the near future? and if not, can you suggest a workflow for transforming a csv file to a wlas file format? thank you!Dan

I am having massive problem in the time taken for a workbench to read an FGDB.Is there a way (or a different reader) which can speed this up? It's laughably slow at the moment and completely unusable and this is before I've even done anything with a clipper transformer. 

Hello friends,I am stuck at as to how to determine parameters to do a georeference using transformer Rastergeoreference.Please see attach sup file (renamed it to .txt). What I understood (I maybe wrong) is the parameter LSR_CAMERA is the center point and OPK_LSR is the rotation (3 values in radians ) but I dont know how to convert into degrees ( 1 value). Basically what I need is the following parameter to do a georeferenceBy Point and AngleXY Upper Left CoordinateXY cell spacingRotation (Degrees)  Appreciate your help  

I have a workflow which writes data to Esri SDE (Enterprise Geodatabase) via the Geodatabase Writer.It is dynamic and reads schema definition from a CSV file. In the Geodatabase the target schema is already defined at FME write time. It is created beforehand in ArcCatalog by importing an XML workspace document.This workflow produces compatible results for Personal GeoDB, FileGDB and SDE with identically configured writers for MDB, FileGDB and SDE.Up to now I used SDE based on SQL Server or ORACLE. So far so good. Now my problems start when I try the same workflow on an SDE based on Postgresql.The symptoms I notice are:1) In ArcCatalog: After Import of the XML workspace document all Table names are as expected (mixed case) but all column names are converted to lower case in contradiction to what happens on ORACLE or other environments.2) Writing data gives No WARNING, NO ERROR not any hint something went wrong but

I received the following error message when running the job on FME server (2018.1). But this problem does not happen when running on FME desktop (2018.1). Any suggestions ? I suspect that the problem may be the path reading issue for FME Server. The filename and path works when checking in window explorer. Thank in advance for all help.Error in the Kingdom Well Reader engine: The file could not be found.: G:\\SMT\\1 Production Projects\\Barnett (SQL Server)\\SMT_Barnett\\SMT_Barnett.tks

I have some text files, same schema, to merge into one text.  How can I accomplish this without connecting each file one by one to the single output text file and keeping only the header from the first one?  e.g. header_1 header_2 header_3 header_4 text_1 text_1 text_1 header_1 header_2 header_3 header_4 text_2 text_2 text_2  I want to exclude the headers from 2,3,4...files, so that i get:  header_1 header_2 header_3 header_4 text_1 text_1 text_1 text_2 text_2 text_2  Thanks.

Hi. I'm trying to convert a mesh model from OBJ to Cesium, there are some problems occurred.  1. The SRS of OBJ is EPSG 2326, but FME shows error when reprojecting model to EPSG 4978 for Cesium model. I tried enable and disable Reprojector, but it still return error "could not create reprojection engine".  2. So I re-create the OBJ mesh in SRS 4978 for conversion. Then I added the result (in Cesium) to web page, my model cannot be shown.  Did anyone successfully convert OBJ to Cesium using FME? Where can I find some resources or sample workbench file of this conversion?    

Hi, I found some problems after the conversion from OBJ to Cesium using FME. The original OBJ model like this: But after the conversion, the model in Cesium like this: The geometry is checked and it is matched to original. But the color tone of texture seems to be edited. How can I solve this problem?

HiI am trying to convert a DWG file (AutoCAD 2010) format into AutoDesk DWF file format. The DWG file is an architectural drawing file and include various blocks, hatches, mtext and even XREF. When I convert DWG to DWF from AuoCAD environment the output is very clear without any loss of objects as shown belowBut when I convert DWG to DWF using FME Desktop 2015.1.3.0 the output is not at clear, looks distorted and has missing objects as shown below. I tried various settings but still no success. Please let me know if you have any ideas or solutions

I have an editable KML with all its user attributes showing in a data table in Google Maps - showing as above when I click on the map objects. I want to be able to export that data back out of Google Maps to TAB or Excel (or anything!), with all these user attribute fields. However, when I export this from Google Maps and look at the Feature Types of the KML Reader in FME Inspector, there are no User Attributes, only Format Attributes. When I use the Inspector, the attributes look as below - there are no kml_schema_ attributes, only kml_data attributes with name (attribute column heading) and value, each one suffixed 1, 2, 3 etc. So when I use a simple workflow with no transformers to export this to TAB, all user attributes are concatenated into the kml_description field as shown below. I have a feeling this isn't normal...……. My original export to KML for Google Maps

I have a bunch of text files and each files contain one feature different attributes. I want to load the first line data as the first attribute, the second as the second attribute. Could you please give me ahint how to implement it? Here is the process, that I am using:

Has anyone had success using the ProjectWise connector in FME 2018.0.0.2 (64bit)? If so would you be able to share your set up or configuration - or if there were any "gotchas" that you came across.We are using ProjectWise which allows me to access it through a browser via https://projectwiseweb.lendlease.comThis succesfully brings up a page whereby you can select a "Location" (of which we have multiple) and type in credentials. Once you are in you can navigate similar to the ProjectWise explorer desktop app. If I use that URL and credentials in the ProjectWise Connector I get "Failed to Load folder from Bentley ProjectWise"Would lo

Hey,I'm converting data from IFC to CityGML. I used the GeomertyPropertyExtractor to extract attributes from the IFC PropertySets. These attributes all have the datatype string. These attributes are set as generic attributes in CityGML, but I want to change their datatype. I can do this for integers, doubles,... in the CityGML-Writer. But I also want to set data types like meter and square-meter. CityGML supports the data types like meter with the data type MeasureType.Does anyone know how to set these data types?Thanks

Hey FME 2019! What's up!? Do you know how I can calculate a value and pass it through the Start Column / Row Excel Writer parameters? I don't see the way to do it! There is no Attribute value option. Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to clip a dxf file with a shapefile into sections and export back into separate dxf files. I'm using the clipper but I'm unsure whether to merge individual feature types on import and how to retain all the layers on export.
