Using readers and writers to extract and load data.
Recently active
Hello!I have setup a workspace where I compare an Minecraft world with several other versions of that same world.I use the PointCloudMerger to give only the changes between the original and the new world.Because Minecraft reader is always a Level.dat I use the FilenameExtractor to extract the folder name (dirname) for that Level.dat file.The output is writen away as a *.csv with X,Y,Z,blockId,blockData and named after the folder name.Running this process inside the workspace for one world works perfectly, however, when I use batch deployment something goes wrong.It always uses the folder name of the first level.dat file, while it parses through all the others.This results in the same output name for all *.csv files.What am I doing wrong?
I am interested in using FME to process a folder of Medical DICOM images in 6 different angles and segment sizes into a point cloud or 3d mesh. Anyone have any workspaces they can share to do this? Thanks
IS FME able to read checkboxes in excel?
Hi, is it possible to secure FME Server using Azure Active Directory? Thanks in advance, Clare
Hi All,I am importing data from Smallworld VMDS to ESRI GBD format. We are having 2 crore records in smallworld Database. We are trying to extracting all the records into ESRI GDB format.We are facing a issues while inserting records. If we got any issues in middle the transaction get stopped and again it is started from first.How can I import all the data into single or multiple ESRI GDB format from Smallworld.If we got any error in middle how to avoid that issue record and continue with next one. Is there any way to process the records in bulk? Please tell me the possible solutions.
Hi all,I'm using the Generic Reader to read incoming data that can be one of several data formats, including GeoJSON. The problem I'm having is it seems the Generic Reader defaults to Esri JSON for files with a .json extension. This causes the workspace to fail because the GeoJSON data structure coming in is different from what is expected by the Esri JSON reader used by the Generic Reader for .json files. Is there a way I can change the defaults on the Generic Reader or do I have to modify the extension of the incoming file to .geojson?ThanksRob
Hi all,I am reading an MongoDB collection and write it to GeoJSON. It is generally working fine however it writes some backslashes out of some reason. As you can see in the images, for conditions value, I am getting this "\\". Any idea how can I get rid of them?
My workbench that reads/writes geotiffs worked great until I upgraded to 2019. I thought it was a writer issue, but it turns out it is an issue with the reader. The input geotiff is an ortho generated by Agisoft Metashape software. Viewing the geotiff in FME 2018 (or Arc or QGIS), it looks correct. Viewing in FME 2019, it looks very different with lots of banding and altered pixel values. I have attached 2 screenshots - 2018_good and 2019_bad to show the difference. This is the exact same file, yet FME 2019 reads it (and writes it) very differently. I have viewed geotiffs from other sources in FME 2019 and they read correctly, so there must be something different about these particular files from metashape.. but why does FME 2018 have no issue with them?

Hello,I wanna create a shapefile reader wich prompts me everytime for a source file destination beacause i am planning to apply my workspace on multiple files. I made the sourcefile as a user parameter, but when I change the file I get always the following message : Unexpected Input: During translation, some feature were read that did not match a reader feature type in the workspace. This can happen if the reader dataset if changed, or a reader feature type removed or renamed.
I am new to FME desktop, so i understand that this question may be already answered or that i have missed the right transformer due to my unfamiliarity/noobiness.Context: I am in the final stages of converting a combination of arcgis model builder, python and SQL processes that result in 15 "_new" datasets being produced and outputted into an SDE database (a weekly process - In FME i am working with full file replacements and not merged/replaced data.). The final step is to have the 'new' datasets become the 'current' datasets, and what is known as the 'current' data to become the '_old dataset (i.e. back up). Currently the update (renaming) of these datasets into production is done manually (not ideal), so i am aiming to speed up the renaming and reduce the chances of human error. In essence each of the 15 datasets in the database has a total of 3 datasets related;'_old' = previous weeks data kept as back upcurrent data which has no _su
Hey,I'm using a CityGML-Writer but unfortunately I have some Issues with the correct xsi:schemaLocation. I tried different versions, but nothing worked. So for example I used http://schemas.opengis.net/citygml/profiles/base/2.0/CityGML.xsdbut I received an error: 2019-07-02 22:52:43| 3.0| 0.0|INFORM|The uri-map document 'C:\\Program Files\\FME\\xml\\urimap\\gml_citygml.xml' is being used to map from URI to URI2019-07-02 22:52:43| 3.0| 0.0|INFORM|A <schemaLocation> in the uri-map is overriding the namespace 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink' xsd location from '../xlink/xlinks.xsd' to 'xlink.xsd'2019-07-02 22:52:43| 3.0| 0.1|FATAL |XML Validation: Fatal Error in 'C:\\Users\\Alex\\Desktop\\IfcTestGeometrie.gml' on line 2, column 1309: 'schemaLocation does not contain namespace-location pairs'2019-07-02 22:52:43| 3.0| 0.0|INFORM|XML Validation: '0' warning(s) found.2019-07-02 22:52:43| 3.0| 0.0|ERROR |XML Validation: '1'
Hi!I am trying to convert a ESRI shapefile to a GMLwhich will be input for a calculation model that only takes GML. While building the conversion I get stuck at 2 issues.When you open the desired result and my current result in an Inspector, you will notice some difference leading to my issues:Independent of how many records I pass from the shape to my current result, I will always have 1061 records in my current result. As this is the number of records my desired result has, I am looking for a way to remove all records (but not the column names) from my desired result and fill it with the records that come from the shape. Any idea how to do this?In my desired result I found a kind of list object I can’t really understand. It looks like a listobject without a record in a column as the value is <missing> but if you click on the record it shows you a listobject. Is this a nested list? How do I build it? I will try to give some more context on this with some help of examples and sc
Hi,I got this error sometimes but not systematically. It could be that if I run this again I would not get the same error for the same file. "PointCloudSplitter (PointCloudSplitterFactory): Failed to get block of 10000 points starting at index 3100000."Is there a way to check beforehand is this transformer is going to fail?Best regards,Felipe Verdú

Hi all,I have a need to write electrical network data from an older Oracle Spatial database to a Smallworld 5.x Electric Office, and the geometries belonging to different substations should be written to their own 'internal worlds' in Smallworld. We can assume that there is a field with values that identify what geometries belong to what substation. (each substation has a unique identifier)Does the standaard (GE) Smallworld 5 writer have the capability to expose world_id and universe_id as attributes on the output feature class, so that the value can be assigned during runtime and the features are written directly to the correct internal world?The SBS plugin for Smallworld does offer the capability but it's additional license cost. I believe this was not possible using the Smallworld 4 writer. Has someone worked with the latest Smallworld 5 reader/writer? Is it different from the Smallworld 4 reader/writer?Thanks!Joep
The question basically says it: When writing GML-Geometries via the AIXM 5.1.1 writer, polygons are written as GM_LinearRing instances. How do I write out polygons as GM_Ring{GM_Curve{GM_LineString{gmlPosList}}} instead?
Hello!I would like to have a color in a tab when I write an excel file. I don't find the solution on the excel writer parameters, or excelstyler. I would prefer not use template file.Thanks!
Hello,I have a URL To a Google Sheet that can be read by anyone who has the URL. I can access and view this in Google Chrome, without entering any Google Account Credentials. Is there any way to do the same in FME?When I try to authenticate my own google account in the Google sheet Reader I get an error:400. That's an error.Unverified state_wrapper. That's all we know.Any ideas would be appreciated!Regards,Helen
We have had to stop using Slack and instead use Google Chat for our workspace logging statistics. How do I go about posting to a Google Chat room directly from a workbench?

Hi,is there any option how to set the readers options, that I do not need to add a new reader when I want to change a dataset? I have always Ersi Format, but a different Dataset, and the same workbench.Till now I added always a new reader with a new name, but now I have to do a lot of things, so I would preffer to change only dataset instead to add a whole reader.Thanks.
