Data

Does anyone know if there a possibility to use FME and ArcGISpro to import files into Smallworld 5? I know that they are different architectures(64/32bit), but you think there might be a medium that could be utilized. Using the data interoperability extension in ArcGISPro doesn't give the potential to create a Smallworld 5 writer.

I'm trying to update an AGOL layer directly from FME instead of overwriting it from a file geodatabase in ArcGIS Pro to automate my workflow.I am getting there following error as soon as the first item reaches the writer:"Reproject: Could not reproject the geometry of the preceding feature: Reprojector: Invalid reprojection parameters%0 Writer: Failed to reproject feature with coordinate system '%1' to '%2'. Verify that the coordinates and coordinate systems are valid, and try againA fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details" I am using an ARCGISONLINEFEATURES writer, trying to write information that is already in British National Grid (BNG), to a hosted feature layer in AGOL that I own and is editable and is also to BNG. I have the source and destination coordinate systems set to BNG, so a reprojection shouldn't be required, but the error message above is suggesting I need to do this.I can get the data to update/publish fine if I

I am writing in regards to an issue when writing features to Portal Hosted Feature Service using FME Desktop. Please see the details below. Version: FME(R) 2018.1.1.2 (20190121 - Build 18586 - WIN64)Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit (Build 15063)Issue: The translation log indicates that the translation was successful with all features written (#4622) to ArcGIS Portal Feature Service. When reviewing the portal feature service, it is only writing 4322 features missing 300 features with no errors in the log file indicating the same.Any ideas on why it would not write exactly 300 features to portal feature service? See the attachment for more details.

Since the LogMessageStreamer doesn't have an input, I created a custom transformer with the LogMessageStreamer an emailer and just an input (which isn't hooked to anything). I hooked the last transformer in my workspace (a FeatureWriter) to the input and that way the custom transformer doesn't fire off until after the feature writer is done. That way, at least in initial testing, I get to scan all the logs before I email if I find an error.This seems a bit kludgy so it would be good to know if there's a better way. The errors I'm particularly interested in are logged by the SDE writer which has a parameter to validate features before writing them. I want to log if one fails but move on and not fail the workspace for the rest of the features.

Hi,  Do you know if it's possible to make classification of lidar point?  Thanks for your help

I am using the oracle nonspatial writer in FME Desktop 2015 and I am trying to write to an Oracle table to update 2 fields. I do not see an error when the process finishes but I noticed that the changes are not reflecting in the table. I don't see any options to commit changes. How can I ensure that the changes are being committed? Do you know what would cause the changes to not be committed? Thanks for your help. 

I have a Civil3D dwg file and have tried so many parameters in the reader properties to try to see if I can see the custom "Note" field that is in there to no avail. The creator of the dwg file said it's embedded in the cogo points layer and I see the cogo points layer and associated fields but not that custom field. Is there something that I'm missing? Thanks!

I have a FeatureWriter connected to a Google Sheet. That FeatureWriter's input are files that were just uploaded to a Google Drive (through a GoogleDriveConnector). I want the FeatureWriter to update the Google Sheet with each of the uploaded file's informations but right now only the informations about the first uploaded file appear. How can I make it so all the files are going to be written at some point? I know Google Sheet doesn't support insert but I have a script that deals with that part, I just need the information of the files to be written in the Sheet at some point. Thank you

A customer is planning to deploy FME Desktop 2018.1 to a VM hosted on IBM Cloud (formerly SoftLayer). This is not a shared-tenant VM but it could conceivably be moved to different hardware from time to time. The VM will be running Windows Server 2016.Will a stand-alone license for FME Desktop work correctly in this context?

Hi,can somebody help me with this error?I did run the workspace successfuly and the datas are inside the folder.When I want to inspect the writer, I become an error:"Shape Reader: Failed to open dataset 'C:\\Data\\Adressen_Shape_3_BL\\Hessen\\Adressen_Deutschland.shp' which is neither an existing file nor directory"I has never happened before.

The SharePoint-reader currently doesn't support SharePoint Online with ADFS login method. Our ADFS server is directly accessible by an url that looks like https://ADFSserver/.../SharePointURL, where the user can fill in the login form and submit the login request.Is it possible to access the SharePoint-site and read its contents by sending (several) http requests?

What does this error refer to?  Warning: Unable to perform SE_layer_alter operation. (Continuing):SDE_ERROR_CODE(-20) Layer not found(Table: 'TAMISADMIN.T_TRANSMISSIONSTRUCTURE' may be in use.)  I have two pipelines off a Feature Merger, and I'm testing just one (I have the connection disabled for the other one.).  I'm reading from ESRI using the SDE30 reader and writing to an SDE30 table, T_TRANSMISSIONSTRUCTURE.  and i'm updating the data in table, so my writer mode = UPDATE.  I have a 2nd writer to the same database with the same T_TRANSMISSIONSTRUCURE feature class.  on this writer/feature class i'm inserting records.  Could the error be related to the existance of the same feature class being accessed in this translation?  Sarah 

Hello everyoneI have a directory of PDF files and would like to select some of them for merging.Is there a way of merging a list of PDF files to a multi-page PDF file?Thanks.

Hi,I would like to use the FeatureReader to read the data from the PostgreSQL (PostGIS) and save it to the GML (3.2.1), Esri Shapefile and Mapinfo TAB.The source table contains multiple geometry columns.Do those formats and/or writers support multiple geometries.Best regards, Damian

Hi,I have a multi-columns table with the first column contsing the Record Id and decription of the polygon.

I noticed that my connections to my FME Cloud websocket timed out after 2 minutes if no data had been transmitted. I was able to remedy the problem by creating a heartbeat that sent a message at an interval less than 2 minutes. This was a little frustrating to have to work out though.Is 2 minutes the default timeout on FME Cloud? I had no such issues when using FME Server. I'm guessing this is to do with the settings applied to the NGINX server on the Cloud instances? Is there a way to alter the default timeout, or am I stuck with the heartbeat solution? If so, can you document the default timeout issue somewhere?

Hi Folks I have a question of a customer. He tried a very simple manipulation : Updating a data in a Oracle Non spatial writer, by adding a column, but do not succeed. In the writer, there is the column information, that has to contain fiels to be updated. But we don't find where encoding the key field ...  In old versions, there was a line indicating clearly, the key field of the table, to match. ANy idea or truck ?

Hi,Every time I try to remove a reader, my workbench crashes. Are there users with the same problem who has a solution?I use version 2019.0.ThxNathalie   

Dear FME's specialists,I try to validate the geometry of a cityGML file generated with another software than FME. It's a data city Model - LOD2 standards...I use the geometry validator transformer + parameter for the issues detected= "Surface and Solid". I get some errors (non 2-manifold + invalid solid boudaries), but I can't find the issues in the data itself.I have the feeling that the points generated via the port IssueLocation are not located at the right place when errors are about a volume? Somebody has similar observation?Geoffrey

I am loading a shapefile into smallworld and am struggling getting the values to populate in the smallworld object. The data type on the shapefile (reader) is a "number" and the data type on the smallworld object (writer) is an INT..... is there a transformer I need to use to conver this "number" to an "int"?

I am very new to FME. I'm trying to understand how to format where data is placed within my CSV output. I'm reading specific elements in an XML file and writting it as a CSV. I almost have it working, however it is writting it in the below format. How to I fix the formatting so that the values fit on the same rows, eliminating the blank spaces?

Hi, I have Mapinfo projects and want to use them in QGIS.The .tab file is no problem to read. But I don´t get the style definition from the mapinfo file. Is there any possibility to transform mapinfo files to the sld format? Or is there another way to get the style informations from a mapinfo file? Thanks and best regards
