Data

I'm building quite a lot of flows where the amount of input features should always be the same as the amount of output features. During the processing of the data a lot of transformers merge, delete, split, and aggregate the data but in the end it should always result in the same amount of features as i started. I now use an UniqueValueLogger to list all the ID's in between and then compare it and at the end i do a manual check to see if the correct amount of features are written to the writer. But i was wondering if this could be tested with the tester and if it does not match can stop the translation raising an error that the input data is not correctly formatted.

Hi,I have a problem setting up a dynamic excel writer. If an input attribute has leading zeroes, they are removed in the output excel file. Can this behavior be prevented somehow? The input excel files are read via a FeatureReader.

H?,I want to do a wfs query with fme.  as normal url =>http://cbsservis.tkgm.gov.tr/tkgm.ows/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=TKGM:parseller&cql_filter=durum=3&maxfeatures=10 if the result =>I want to query according to a certain value .  I want to get values that are only 3  .<TKGM:durum>3</TKGM:durum>I've tried using xml filter.  

Hello,In some cases I get out of memory exception when using writers. The reason is that FME needs to get all results for example from postgis into memory and then save it (for example in GML or DWG format).When there is a lot of data then problem appears.  One soluton for that would be to use paging. First execute count() query to check how many records are we expecting and then for each part run workspacerunner with some limit and offset parameters.  That works nice but:In my case I need to first take a polygon by which I will do filtering and then take all rows from another table that intersects with this polygon. Using FME Reader with intersects in works quite well but when I want to execute that query on my postgres DB then it takes forever even though I have geo indexes set on both tables :/ Do you have any experiences with such a problem?   

I would like to detect from a postgis database the number of records and the filesizes (mb) of the tables in a schema so i can write it to xlsx.  I can't find the solution.

We store a large number of files in a Bytea type as base64 ecoded strings in our database. If i use the pgAdmin to retrieve the data as Text it works fine.If you excecute the statement below in PgAdmin you get a different result then when you run it in sqlCreator to a Postgres database.How do i setup FME to get the same results as PgAdmin?What am i missing here?select ('\\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

Has anyone else had issues reading items that aren't shared to a group, but are shared to your organization? The only items that show up when I try to read them in are groupname/servicename or username/foldername/servicename, which indicates they are in a group or the user you are using owns them. We've been using FME for over 7 years, and I'm just now noticing this (which I guess either shows how important it is or how rare it is) :P

I am a first time FME user. I want to analyse the closest LiDAR points that are to my point data (pit). I tried using NeighborFinder but I guess it does not like LiDAR data and produces a empty .shp file or .gdb file. I want my .shp or .gdb with the nearest 5 LiDAR points that are averaged to produce a z value for my point vector data (pit data). It will be very kind if someone could help me with what code I would need to produce the required result? PS: plz disregard the aerial image in the background.

Hi,I have to read Excel files with FME 2017 but the first column of the table can be at different position in each file.(but there are always the same number of columns)So, I'm searching a way to link the first column position to a published parameter like the screenshot attached (which doesn't work...).I can't believe that with such a powerful soft like FME we can not do this...Thank you for any help !Christian

Hi,I have a job of transforming osm to imdf with a custom osm map feature config file. When I push this job to FME server, it seems to miss that config file and fail to run the job. How do I solve this problem? Any help? Thank you very much.

I am running a following script, set serveroutput on;DECLARE message varchar2(20):= 'Hello, World!'; BEGIN dbms_output.put_line(message); END;Its throwing error for set serveroutput on. If I remove that statement query runs successfully with no results returned from oracle db.

Can we save credentials for an ArcgisOnline writer in the workbench? Our Final Goal is to run this workbench from an automated batch script. This runs fine but after a period of time the connection to ArcGISOnline fails and we need to reconnect manually in the workbench

Hi,I'm trying to create a dynamic workspace to create file geodatabase extracts of data out of ArcSDE. Ideally, I would like to make use of change detection in some form, so that data that hasn't changed doesn't get processed for no reason. Even more ideally, I'd like to query the database system tables to quickly narrow down what objects have experienced any change (I have some ideas on how to satisfy the second part, but haven't gotten to it yet).The SDE extracts in FGDB form will end up on a network share and be replicated out to the users.This article is pretty much what I want to do, I think.https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1157/dynamic-workflow-tutorial-destination-schema-as-a.htmlI have to presume that I don't know the schema, nor the quality of the data, in an effort to make this flexible f

Hi All,Hope you are doing good.I have an excel sheet containing a set of data wherein i wish to read only a specific set of rows. Test Excel.xlsxIn my case, i wish to read the data below the string (in mass percent) in row 280 from 281 to 296 with 281 as the column names. The whole table is supposed to be read below the above mentioned string. These row numbers may change with different excel sheets. So i need a generalized solution.Please help. Thanks.

Hi guys,I have this point cloud that I have filtered and clipped so that only vegetation areas remain. These areas I want to build a mesh of so that I can import this as a 3D-model into another software. I use the pointcloudsurfacebuilder for this purpose. Using construction mode "simple triangulation", everything works fine, a separate mesh is created for eache area of vegetation.This mesh is quite coarse so I want to use constrouction mode "poisson" instead. This creates a much smoother mesh, only problem is that it also creates a rectancular surface around the whole extents of my pointcloud thus making the mesh useless for me.Anyone here who can help me sort this issue? See attached screenshots of both results.
