Data

Is there a work flow for reading only 1 feature data set in an esri geodatabse reader? I am trying to read only 1 feature dataset, not the entire esri geodatabse so that i can clip the polygons in this particular feature dataset

Good morning all, i am trying to work out how to get the mapinfo (mapinfo_extended, MITAB or MAPINFO) writer to output a .ind file. when writing to mapinfo i get dat, id, map and tab but not ind file. with the MITAB i have made sure that build optimal spatial index is YES but there appers to be no option for any of the mapinfro witters to produce a index file. cheers edit version, fme 2018.1.0.1 build 18528 win 32

Hi, I'm struggling with processing Geodatabase Attachments. My workflow takes polygon features with attachments, test for an attribute and then converts them to points. Pretty simple. However, keeping the attachments isn't working. I know there are other help examples using attachments but I'm not able to get this to work. My workflow and sample data is attached. If someone could please take a look and let me know what I'm missing?

I keep on getting this error: ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type 'count'What does it mean? How can I resolve it?

Using FME Desktop 2018.1.0.2 build 18547 - Win32 in Citrix environment and trying to upload a folder from enterprise file system to an Amazon S3 bucket. I have a simple creator connected to an S3Uploader transformer and an inspector. When I run the workspace in desktop it rejects the upload and gives an error. I can successfully read from the S3 bucket using S3ObjectLister so I know the credentials are working. Here is the logfile: Even tried running this from a local non-Citrix version of FME 2018.1 same build and get the same error.Also, when trying to upload a single file I get the same error.fme_rejection_code =0 ERROR_INVALID_REQUEST"java.lang.Exception: S3Uploader_<Rejected>: Termination Message: 'S3Uploader output a <Rejected> feature. To continue translation when features are rejected, change 'Workspace Parameters' > Translation > 'Rejected Feature Handling' to 'Continue Translation''Translation FAILED with 4 error(s) a

@mmccart and I have noticed that Esri did something to how ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1 (aka ArcMap) publishes services to ArcGIS Online. We have tested ArcGIS Pro 10.6.1 and ArcMap 10.5 and both are able to be written to with FME 2018.1 (18547). When trying to write to a service published from ArcMap 10.6.1, we get the following error:ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type 'LAYER_NAME'

Hello AllI could easily revert to my Python comfort zone but in the spirit of learning can anyone tell me the most FMEic way to extract Total Features, Add, Mods and Del attributes from the attached XML? Many thanks.

I am new to FME (my first post!). So, I am just playing around trying to learn the software a little (we are planning on using it to load a large amount of CAD data into GIS). I am using FME 2018.1 to write (insert) into one versioned feature class within a 10.2 esri SDE in Oracle. Everything looks fine when I look at the version in ArcMap. But I am getting an error at the end of the process.A BADNEWS error shows up in debug logging -- similar to the one in this post :https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/76727/error-running-translation-after-what-appears-to-be.html I am using FME 2018.1 32 bit on win 7 Suggestions?

Hi,  I have a dwg file with layer names, is it possible to include this layernames as an attribute in a dgnv7 fiel?  It is not possible to keep the layer names as a string in dgnv7, it needs to be a number. So now I try to include it as an attribute. It seams to be possible with tags in the dgnv8 format, but that is not supported in dgnv7.  Anyone knows about this?   Best/ Johan

I am trying to write to a file geodatabase and I need the strings stored as 8 bit characters. When I write to the gdb they being written as utf-16. I have tried using the attribute encoder to set the encoding to utf-8 but it still get written as utf-16. I am using a feature writer with the DEFAULTS keyword which should store text as utf-8 according to the documentation. Is there a way to enforce that text data be written as UTF8.Thanks

Hello FME guru's! I'm looking for a way to seperate a single page pdf with multiple layers so I can input a reduced raster dataset into Potrace to improve the vectorising results. Can anyone point me in the right direction?Pdf example here:

When running the sheduled job in FME Server, we are encountering this error from time to time. Today, FME Server 2016 cannot connect to ArcGIS Online.ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '403' and the message was: 'You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation.'. Details: 'However, I tried running this in ArcGIS Desktop 2017.1 and it was able to connect and write the features to ArcGIS Online. I'm using the same ArcGIS Online account for both.

Hi all, I'm trying to query an API and convert a json file which contains nested geojson as a trip route. My final output is going to be a shapefile or feature class ESRI. I'd like to have each "route" associated with the trip_id, duration, distance etc.here is the response below, each route is a series of point files, I'm thinking I need to convert this to some sort of line to make this work. Any ideas? what I have so far:

HelloI am trying to create a point cloud with a string column. The value of the component depends on the value of another component. I am using PointCloudExpressionEvaluatot but this doesn´t allow string components. I could use PointCloudComponentAdder to create string components but it doesn´t work because it creates constant strings which is not what I need.For example:If I have the following PointCloud:x|y|gid|col0|col12653000|2565400|147729036548|0|2552654000|2565400|147729036548|0|12 I´d like this outputx|y|gid|col0|col12653000|2565400|147729036548|0|2654000|2565400|147729036548|0|12Replacing 255 with empty string I am using FeatureReader and String concatenator but it´s very slow for about 200millionpoints Any help woud be appreciatedThanksOskar   

I've tried to export a las file to 3dtiles (i.e., a pnts file) with fme, but the color was missing afterward in cesium. I could not find that I can choose to include RGB or something like that. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Everyone,I have a mesh in dwg format. The FME Geomtry is composite surface, I can coerce it to Mesh.I have a georeferenced tiff image which I want to set as appearance using the AppearanceSetter.These are the parameters I use (using both front and back side).The problem is I get the appearance on the wrong side of where I want it to be (fig1 demonstrates results, fig2 demonstrates the side I want it to be). Tried the orientor, same result. Any ideas? Thank you for your time. Kind regards, George Floros

HelloI've been working with osgb file for a while, we were using arcgis pro and the build-in fme , back then when 2.0/2.1 it was fine. Now come to 2.2 even 2.3 beta it just stop giving out the right result.Even switch to a full fme workbench the problem still exists.We are sure that the osgb file is intact and we understand that it may be more of an arcgis problem then an fme problem.We've tried to convert the osgb file to slpk, to geodatabase and to obj all failed.For slpk, it does generate an output file but can't be open or showed in neither arcgis pro nor online portal.By the way, if we use arcgis's gp tools for slpk, it crashed.  For geodatabase, there is a certain problem.We all know that a full osgb file contains many tiles and each tile contains many layers. The fme dose recognize all tiles but it automatically choose and only choose the first layer to transform. In the result we have a very blur and not-LOD model that cannot be used at all. If we manually pick

A colleague wants to read files that have no line ending (either Windows-style CR+LF or Unix-style LF). They have fixed record lengths (100 bytes). Can FME read this type of file (I'm betting it can!)? It needs to process them in 100 byte chunks.If FME can't do it directly, is there something on the Hub e.g. this?https://hub.safe.com/transformers/filerawdatafetcher

I'm processing many xml file which can change their structure (various tagging names or position in the hierarchy). No XSD is availible. and even if I build one the new xml can have new tagging so each time I create new reader based on the all new xmls files population to verify if there is a new tagging vs old groups. Is there any agile way to setup a reader to discover new tags and add them to the reader while reading xml? I can handle new tags later in workspace but I miss the knowledge how to set xml reader to autodiscover and proces new tags by default while I start FME workspace using bat files.

Hi,I am using the Labeller transformer to label a point which will be written out to Microstation. I want the label to be displayed to the left of the point in the output Microstation DGN V8 file, but I can't find a way to set this within FME. Does anyone have any tips?I am using FME Desktop 2017.1Thanks
