Is it possible to download a PDF file and then write that data to an MS SQL table? Any help would be greatly appreciated!I am able to download, using the below. However I am not able to write to SQL as VARBINARY(MAX).Almost there....

Hi, I am using S3ObjectLister and S3Downloader to connect to a bucket, download data and process it. I have two bucket setup in two different regions (ap-southeast-2) and ca-central-1. When I use settings for first region it works fine but when I change settings for region 2 i.e ca-central-1 (which is not available in transfomer's region drop down) S3ObjectLister rejects to connect and gives me follow errorsfme_rejection_code: ERROR_CLIENTfme_rejection_message: fme_rejection_message (encoded: UTF-8): Not able to determine region for ca-central-1.Please upgrade to a newer version of the SDKI am not sure how to access bucket setup for ca-central-1. I have tested bucket setting and it is responding well and tried using different regions with with bucket setup for ca-central-1 I get different error code 301.

I'm reading an XML with ticket details that has xsi:nil=true in the tag and it adds the field name with .nilAlso,there is a tag with xlmns andIm not sure if I have to use a List Exploder to further get its attributes.I'm a novice FME user and have no prior experience with xml eitherI'm looking for direction on how to resolve the field names to be the tag text and populate its values in ESRI Gdb formatAny help will be much appreciated

Hi! I have a workspace that converts LAS into Recap using a pointcloudlasclassifier before writing out to Recap. This workspace runs 100% flawless on desktop. When publishing to FME Server however, the workspace always fails the first run after logging into a new session in the browser. When running the workspace the second time (and following runs) without editing any parameter it runs successfully. Any ideas what can cause this issue? It seems that it is the rcs-files (which are written to a subfolder) that is causing the workspace to fail.

Hi,I use FeatureWriters in FME Workbench 2017 for inserting datasets in Postgres.But when there are errors in my input data, like a string instead a boolean value, the row is not written in Postgres but FME doesn't detect the error, the row is counted like a correct insert and I have the message "Translation was successfull" at the end. Of course, I could use AttributeValidators to detect such errors but I have a lot of fields and I wouldd like to avoid to inspect each field. Thanks in advance for any help,Christian

Hi,I’m having problems with SDE writer with a “Versioned Edit Session” transaction type in my workspace. The workspace in question is initiated by Workflow Manager. A child version is created in our flow and the name of this version is passed along as parameter value. I’m using a writer, with three feature types, with the following settings:  What do I expect:The data is written to the child version. If writing to the tables succeeded, then the child version is reconciled and posted to the parent version. After posting, the child version is deleted. When the writing fails, the child version is not posted to the parent and is automatically deleted. What do I have at the moment:The data is written to the child version. If writing to the tables succeeded, then the child version is reconciled and pos

Is there a way process OSM data so that I organise the most important tags into separate attributes while keeping all other key/value pairs e.g. by dumping them into another attribute called "othertags"?For example; an entry in my Highway table might look like this:highway trunk lanes 2 oneway yes width 12 othertags "surface"=>"asphalt", "name"=>"Ermine Street", "maxspeed"=>"70", "lit"=>"no", "ref"=>"A1", "name:en"=>"Ermine Street", "maxwieght"=>".....  Basically I don't want to lose any info, but I don't want to expose all tags to potentially several tens of mostly useless attributes.

Hello,I'm migrating some shapefiles using FME to a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database. Is there any way to monitor all of the SQL commands that have been sent to it during the translation ? Thank you.

Hi all.A problem that makes me crazy :-(To collect data form Oracle, I use an SqlCreator with a parametric query.When I run the same query in SqlDeveloper, I takes the correct number of records. Usually a single record.When I do the same in FME, the record is duplicated.The strange thing is that if the correct result is one record, it is duplicated. So two records.If the correct result is three records, the result is four. One duplicated and the other fine.The production landscape where the problem occurs has two FME servers with distributed engines.In the second landscape (testing), the problem doesn't happen.Very strange...Thanks for your supportRoberto

Hello everybody, I have to solve urgently problem with generating of SVG files. I still cant find way, how to define title of SVG file and also, how to insert my attribute after <g id> tag, see pic below? Please, do You have any tip, how to figure out this problem?Thank You so much!Lubo

I have ifctoCityGml template (no idea how it is working) and its working fine and convert my ifc to citygml but the only problem i am facing is that it is not exporting roof while it successfully exported WallSurface, FloorSurface and window. And here is its transformation snap:As you can see there is no output from FeatureMerger_2 Transformer. I guess Merged, is not producing any output.

I have an excel file containing 100,000 items placed in 700 boxes. The file has two columns, one column is the item and the other is the corresponding box. I would like to get them rearranged as a file with 700 columns and each column (box) has all it's corresponding items listed underneath. Attached is an example: Excel's Pivot table and FME's AttributePivoter are asking me to group the items by columns AND rows. But I don't have rows to group the items with. I just wanna group the items by columns. 

I like to have a simple shapefile been written to CityGML.A simple task, I assumed, but it doesn't work out the way I want... at least, not in the end.The color and the transparency don't come with the CityGML file. What am I doing wrong or what am I missing here?Attached the Workspace and the data.

im trying to know if a feature is empty or not, iv tried a counter box butit does'nt do the job (but the counter receive no input).

Hi,I'm writing to a MapInfo extended tab, and noticed there is a delete operation on the tables. I have tested this out, and have got it to work, however the tables aren't compressing after and the deleted records are staying in the table albeit flagged for deletion. A pack of the table solves this, but cant it happen on closure of the writer?Cheers,James

The reader in my workspace is an ESRI shapefile. I am clipping this to a buffer, changing coordinate system (SnakeGrid) and writing to a MicroStation .dgn. I am copying all the attributes from the .shp and writing as tags. Can I do this for several .shp's at once and it only carry the necessary attributes for each .shp? When I input '*.shp' to read all .shp in a folder, it outputs then individually but with the attributes of all the input shapefiles.

I have a GoogleDriveConnector connected to my account so that it lists all of the pdfs from a folder. As soon as there are more than 100 files in the folder, GoogleDriveConnector just keeps running forever (it got to 32000 outputs before I stopped it)With 91 files it works correctly :After uploading 10 more files the transformer gets to 741 outputs and would keep increasing if not stopped. Is there a way to fix this issue?I've tested on different files/accounts and nothing seems to help.

I have windows, walls, doors etc object in IFC when I view it in FXKViewer. But after converting the IFC into CityGML all the objects are appearing with genobj:GenericCityObject name. What i am doing wrong? I have just generate CItyGML from IFC.
