Data

I have a MicroStation dgn file that I need to change the levels names, line styles, colors and weights to match our standards. Is there a way to read the attributes in one file and cross reference them in a excel spreadsheet or csv file and then write a new dgn file with the cross referenced attributes?

I have got a kmz file and I want to convert it to a shapefile. I also want to change the data from being a 3 coordinate system to a 2 coordinate system or I could keep the 3 coordinate system and ensure all the z coordinates are 0. There is not much help on how to transform kmz files to esri shapefiles in fme. Can someone give me some tips? I have attached the file here.

I'm trying to convert a NetCDF file generated by a climate model to be able to use in a GIS software. I have no specific software preferences.

Hi Safe.I seem to have stumbled across a bug in the WFS reader, that may also affect other OGC readers.Our local WFS services typically have a few extra parameters, e.g. "servicename", "login" and "password", or "ticket". These are given in the stub that the reader receives, and normally it works just fine.However, one of our services returned these parameters in the service stubs in the "capabilities" document, but had lowercased all the parameter names. I.e. the FME stub contained "Login=" and "Password=", but the returned capability-stubs had "login=" and "password=".Unfortunately FME handles this wrong, as it appends the camelcased parameters to the lowercased stub, because FME considers the parameter names to be different bacause of case sensitivity.The reason I say it's wrong, is because the OGC documents clearly state that "Parameter names shall not be case sensitive, but parameter

Hi,I have an Excel reader and one column of the Excel files contains merged cells.For an unknown reason, the option "expand merged cells" doesn't work well for some merged cells.For some merged cells, I got all values in the expanded cells and for some others, I got only 2 values for 5 cells that were merged (for example).(I tried to convert the Excel file in XLSX, XLS,.... the problem persists) So, I try to find a solution to fill empty values with previous values from the same column (attribute).I searched with the NullAttributeReplacer transformer or with a NullAttributeMapper but I don't find how to map to the previous value with this way... One other difficulty is that it must work in "cascade": for example the empty value from row 3 must get the value from row 2 and then the empty value from row 4 must get the value from row 3, and so on... Thanks for any help.Christian

Hello,I am using FME to create several zipped shapefiles (Not SHZ). And when I set my FeatureWriter to "PATH\\@Value(Tbl_Name).zip", the output folder is zipped but only contains the DBF file and nothing else. I am open to other suggestions on how I should be doing this. Thanks,Ben

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.  Is there any idea?  Thank you.

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.

When I try to save a database connection. In Tools -> FME Options -> FME Database Connection. The dialog is displayed: Unable to Store Connection.Can anyone tell you why this happens?

Hi allIn a GIS to CAD transformation, I'm trying to make all autocad linear entities with line type generation attribute = true per entity.I added a DWGStyler to my workbench with "linetype generation" property set to "continuos" for lines. However, it's not working so far.Could someone please point out what I'm missing?Many thanksAlan

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 for the many SDE databases we're running this for.My workspace looks like this: Where I'm getting stuck, right now anyway, is applying the delete operation t

Is it possible to create a PostGIS database with FME ?
