I'm a total FME novice trying to convert an ecw (Generated from a tif) to a jpg, but it keeps failing because the jpg writer cannot support more than 3 bands.... What are these bands and how do i get around this problem? I just need a straight forward jpg.. no coordinates. Thanks in advance for your help..

I am able to write inspire GML (it validates, too). I do it in FME. Now I would like to write that gml directly to the postgresql database (add postgresql writer), so that i have the entire data flow in one workspace, but i cannot join two writers (inspire gml writer and postgresql writer) together... I am very new to FME.

Hi, we are coming up against an issue now that is now a real blocker to our workflow. We are running a workbench attached on FME cloud which picks up content in postgis and writes to fgdb. The problem is at random - (honestly) it will fail with the error:Geodatabase Error (-2147220987): The user does not have permission to execute the operation.If you run the task again specifically running on the feature it failed on, it will run no problem.I know there are other cases of this reported, however when we run locally there is no issue.https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/45200/writing-esri-file-geodatabase-issue.html https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/362/workspace-fails-on-fme-server-when-using-unc-paths.html @brianatsafe @david_r @mark2atsafe have all commented on this error before, reading through I can't see any issues that relate - as we are running as superuser and also have tested locally.The two logs attached outline the error, the larger log, is for running a very big task

Hello! I have to transform a PointCloud Dataset (LAS) from EPSG 31256 to EPSG 4326. Therefore I used the transformer CSMapReprojector. My output PointCloud always looks like this: This was the Input dataset:  Thanks for your suggestions.    

I am trying to connect to a hosted feature service in our GIS Portal. I am receiving the following error:..."Check your credentials and try again. The error code from the server was '400' and the message was: 'Unable to generate token.' A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details"...I am using our fully qualified domain name with /sharing/rest/generateToken with our service account credentials.Ideas??Thanks,--gary

I Want to know More aboutWhat is a Point Cloud? What is LiDAR?  I Need Brief Clarification i have Seminar on this topic. your Answers would be appreciated.

@takashiHi I am using an SQLCreator to return all incidents reported in the last hour. I then want to use an XML file to define levels for each alarmtype, which determine whether an alert record is created depending on the type of incident and count e.g. <incidentype name="gasleak" level="1,5,10"/><incidenttype name="electricityinterruption" level="1,3,10"/> therefore for gasleak, an alarm record is created if count of incidents is as follows:count alarmcreated Level AlarmTime 2 Yes 14 No N/A7 Yes 511 Yes 10Note when count=4, no alarm is created as level 1 alarm has already been created.So far, I have added an XML reader and use FeaturePaths. I have also obtained the count of incidents for the last hour using SQLCreator. Any suggestion how FeaturePaths could be used in this case? Is pythonXML the b

I've just started using FME. We have a few feature-services in ArcGIS Online with a lot of features (+/- 150.00). We are creating replica's every night on our server by using a Python script from esri. In essence the script works fine. But the replica's fail at least half the time because of time-outs, or sudden server error's on esri's side. I want to know if we can replace some of our workflows by using FME. I've created a script that reads the AGOL feature service and checks for changes/new features. This gets written to our Postgres database. The script works fine, but again, I get the same errors.I've changed the batch size to 10 features, but no luck. There's an option in the reader to start reading from a certain feature. I thought this might be a solution, but it still starts from 0 (maybe it's not reading / downloading it, but it still runs every 10 features. The corresponding log is: "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader: Getting featu

Hi I'm loading data from an ESRI .gdb file geodatabase into an Oracle database. When I run the .fmw script from Windows, the date loads fine into an Oracle table 'date' field (e.g. 06/22/2019). But when i run the same .fmw script from Linux FME Desktop, the date in oracle (same oracle db) is messed up (e.g. 02/12/1937). Anyone know how to fix? NOTE: Windows is FME Desktop 2017.1.2.1 Win 32, Linux version = FME 2017.0.1.1 (linux-x64). The .fmw script used was created from the Windows FME Desktop. All other fields seem to load just fine.

Hello,  I want to write a dwg with several layer. In layer i can have block, points or Text. How can i do to order the objects in a systemaic way?  Bernard Dinon

I can not just copy the curl command from kibana and paste it into the FME transformer. Can you please provide me helpful sites, links, where i can learn how to tone it down to one liner query to use in FME transformers?For example, in kibana console, the following code gives me the documents that matches company_name=shell. But, if I need the same result in FME, i have to use FeatureReaders/httpcaller/elasticReader with the query: GET /prod_gffp_filings/_search?q=COMPANY_NAME:chevron  GET prod_gffp_filings/_search?pretty{ "query": { "match": { "COMPANY_NAME": "Shell" } } }

Just using the sample file rac_advanced_sample_project.rvt Even not in data inspector, it does read most of it correctly, but not glass.  Where it should looks like this:  So is there any more features that not currently be supported?

Howdy,Two questions: 1) Is there a method for using a Tester like transformer to identify if a "JPEG datastream" contains an image or not prior to a record reaching the RasterReplacer. Details below.2) Purely out of curiosity, how would I go about turning off the Translation Log error referenced in the snippet below? (...this warning can be turned as an error by setting GDAL_ERROR_ON_LIBJPEG_WARNING to TRUE) I'm processing images that were taken via Esri's AGOL Collector as attachments to a feature record. In my workflow I'm using RasterReplacer to extract the images from the AGOL data field (arcgisonline_attachment{0}.data (encoded: fme-binary)) and I have come across an issue where some images are corrupted.When these bad images reach the RasterReplacer it throws a translation error "JPEG reader: libjpeg: JPEG datastream contains no image". Full translation log error message below: 2019-05-14 14:05:48|   6.8|  0.0|WARN  |JPEG reader: libjpeg: Premature end of JPEG file (this warning 

I am working on FME 2019 in windows. I want to upload a folder on S3 bucket but do not want the parent folder to be included. Be like:C:\\abc\\xyz\\mno.zip, C:\\abc\\xyz\\nbc.zip - these zip files to be uploaded toAmazon S3\\abc\\prtand the data should be replaced with the new one(the old data exit in the folder on S3.But, when I say upload the folder, it is like- Amazon S3\\abc\\prt\\xyz\\mno.zip, Amazon S3\\abc\\prt\\xyz\\mno.zipand I want it to be like- Amazon S3\\abc\\prt\\mno.zipSo, basically no parent folder in between. Also, if I select data source to upload to file, I can only upload 1 file, not multiple.Any options to upload multiple files? Or to upload the folder but not including parent folder.Thanks.  

I have installed ArcGIS Pro 2.3.3 which uses Python 3.6 with FME Desktop 2019.0.1.0 64 bitFME log is returning error in the title with FME Translation Settings:Preferred Python Interpreter:ESRI ArcGIS Pro 2.1/2.2/2.3 Python (3.6)ArcGIS Pro is licensed to work offline.Any suggestions to get this working appreciated.

Hi, does anyone know of a nice trick to delete features (rows/records) from a shapefile. We currently do this using the delete property in feature writer but this isn't available with shapefile.We basically want to be able to delete where a property = true, the only other thing to mention is this might leave the shapefile empty, so we cant simply use a filter and a writer because FME wont write out an empty shapefile.Many Thanks,Oliver

Hi, Im trying to emulate an Alteryx process, but I dont quite know how to do it. Here is the video to show a summary of how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmbWf6-PFhE  And here is the test data  <area shape="poly" alt="" coords="496,172, 496,232, 566,232, 566,121, 496,172" href="BLUE"> The process is taking a shape from adobe illustrator, exporting to HTML (as above) then extracting each of the above into a csv that can be read in tableau and produce a shape.  Ideally from this <area shape="poly" alt="" coords="496,172, 496,232, 566,232, 566,121, 496,172" href="rrrr"> to this BLUE,X,496,Y,172BLUE,X,496,Y,232BLUE,X,566,Y,232BLUE,X,566,Y,121BLUE,X,496,Y,172 There maybe multiple variables in the amount of X and Y coordinates per shape. Anyone got any ideas on how to do this? Thanks Chris

I've taken some Workspaces created in 2015/2016 and saved them as 2017.0.1.1 Workspaces. I've removed Readers and Writers and added them in fresh. In some cases I get this report in the log:Workbench: Workspace integrity check during load found one or more readers/writers with configuration issues.Workbench: Backed up current workspace as: E:\\AddressBase\\Plus\\FME\\LACHS (backup).fmwWorkbench: Fixed reader/writer configuration issues.I know this means the issues should be fixed, but it raised the question in my mind about the best way to upgrade Workspaces. I know old ones should generally run in a later version of FME but in these cases I'm changing the Reader(s) and/or Writer(s) so I might as well update the Workspace version.Some Workspaces have a lot of transformers in, so is a good upgrade path to create a blank Workspace, add the Reader(s) and Writer(s) then copy and paste the transformers from the old Workspace (then upgrade transformers and edit parameters if n

When I looked at the below linkhttps://knowledge.safe.com/articles/48316/importing-into-smallworld.html I came across the options "Export to FME" and "Import from FME" in Folders dialogue boxDoes anyone used these options (refer image at red polygon)??? If yes could you kindly provide some information about uses/functions/requirements to use themThank youPratap

I have receive field application and harvest maps (.dat) from Climate FieldView. I am quite certain these are raster images and they don't appear to be compatible with any of the existing FME formats. I believe they may be of the same format used by SST Summit, MapShots AgStudio, SSI Agvance Mapping, AgIntegrated. Does anyone have experience with reading these files?Ideally, we would like to get them into a format where we could show them as historical reference files (GeoTiff, etc.) within an app that is currently using WKT and MySQL Spatial.

@mark2atsafe I can see Lookup type was added for 2019.1, is calculated there too?

Hey,I'm using the new Autodesk Revit Reader to import a Revit model. It imports all the objects, but a lot of the used attributes are missing. Also some of the objects, mainly objects of the Architectural.GenericModels have no geometry (which should be solids). I already tried to expose the missing attributes, but I had no luck doing this. Are their any options to get the missing attributes and geometries or do I have to wait for a more developed version of the Autodesk Revit reader?Thank you in Advance!

Hello, In my case there a a feature reader, then some tranformators for removing some attributes and adjusting fanout expression and then gml writer.  Why fme saves some partial results to ffs even if there is a lot of free memory? I think that it takes a lot of time causing performance impact.  part of log:2019-05-28 12:07:33|1909.9|  0.0|STATS |Storing feature(s) to FME feature store file `C:\Temp\2\no-conn-ffs-1559036060497_7200_14.ffs'2019-05-28 12:10:00|2055.8|145.9|STATS |Stored 1009731 feature(s) to FME feature store file `C:\Temp\2\no-conn-ffs-1559036060497_7200_14.ffs'

Hi I am trying to bring in an XML table from http://envdata.es.govt.nz/services/data.ashx?f=water-level.xml which has some useful water level data. I have tried different XML readers and can't get it to read the data. Can someone recommend a workflow that will read it.
