Hi I've a very funny error. I've never had it before. I created a new workspace and translate some data into an MAPINFO-Output.

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.

Hi, I was wondering of it is possible to use an if statement in the Pointcloudexpressionevaluator to calculate values based on values of other components. I created a pointcloud with different z components (for example z_2018_01 and z_2018_02), these z values represent measures in different months in 2018 . There are also components that represent the year and month (YM_2018_01 filled with value 20801 and YM_2018_02 filled with value 201802) There are also points that have only one measure value (or in period 1 or in period 2), see table below. From these z components I want to calculate a z_actual (most recent z value). Is there a way to use the Pointcloudexpressionevaluator? An expression like : “If JM_2018_02 > JM_2018_01 then z_2018_02 else z_2018_01” will be useful but I don’t know of this is possible, and if, how to build such an expression in the Pointcloudexpressionevaluator. Can anyone help me? I prefer the pointcloud transformers because it gives a very good performance, (

Hi, I have many rasters in file gdb with lower case file names. I need to rename them by adding a prefix to all file names and also change their names from lower case to upper case. My goal is move them to ArcSDE after renaming them.

I'm trying to convert a raster (orthophoto) in to a geotiff, using jpeg compression method and enabling the BigTIFF advanced option. However I'm unable to successfully run the conversion with both options selected. Is there a reason why I'm unable to convert my orthophoto to a geotiff using both jpeg compression and BigTIFF at the same time?

Hi folks,Most of the new functionalities in the recent forum update are really nice, however there are a few regressions that are pretty annoying:1) The code editor displays a lot of unnecessary "Â" characters in indented code, see e.g. https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/82001/how-to-convert-csv-data-in-a-single-attribute-to-a.htmlI've tried a lot of different strategies to get rid of them, all unsuccessful.https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/81538/create-a-halton-sequence-with-python.html?childToView=81545#answer-815452) There's something strange going on with search, e.g. looking for "halton" which was mentioned several times in the posting above (posted after the upgrade) turns up nothing: https://search.safe.com/#q=halton&sort=relevancy3) I keep on having to sign on to the forum, it seems I get disconnected several times per day, sometimes several times within just a few minutes. This was not the case before, where I remained logged in for weeks a

HiI am extremely new to this but I have been asked to learn HTML/CSS/JAVA and FME and come up with a solution. I am trying to extract data from the tabs on https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/bangladesh and write them into a single list in HTML that I can then use later. In my workbench I have it extracting and writing to Excel and and HTML file. Currently it writes all the tabs to excel (although it looks like jargen) but I can only do one tab at a time in the HTML? Is there a way to one remove all the HTML "code" from the excel and two write multiple tabs into the single HTML file? thank you

While converting from 3DS to CityGML, I am not able to get layer by layer information on the GML file. The 3DS file got 7 layers but the GML file Just got one object. How can I solve this?

Hi all,I am using FME Desktop to convert some spatial DBF files to MapInfo Tab files. I'd like to ask if there are any restrictions for doing this operation. While the operation is running successfully, no geometry is being copied from the source files.Kind regards,

I'm trying to create a workspace to create a XML file from an excel-report (Sample) and an excelfile containg some other information (Blad1). However I'm running in to issues with the encoding of the created file. It seems like textwriter is not able to output UTF-8 encoded characters (input contains Swedish characters like åäö). Trying to understand where in the process this gets wierdly formatted but loggers seem to show the right characters.  When I exchange these characters manually in the output XML file the validationservice I'm using is working. Anyone who can point out how to fix this? Kind regards. 

Hi,Apparently (this is new to me too) the ESRI Shape definition has been expanded with a "code page file" (*.cpg), which contains the "code page" of the table structure, i.e. field names.I've just received such a data set, but FME doesn't seem to recognize this extension. My field names end up as un-decoded UTF-8 string, e.g. "ByggeÃ¥r" instead of "Byggeår".Is it possible to have FME (2017.1) recognize this extension, or if not, are there any plans to do so ?Cheers

Hi,In regards to my previous question, I have tried finding how to read shapefile from AWS directly and read it (though seems to be quite slow). This possibility can neglect the use of multiple WorkspaceRunners(and I am still not sure how to use that)shp reader- Select file from web- Browse S3- Authenticate- Choose shapefile.my case:C:\PATH\ABC\ABC_Q1.SHPC:\PATH\ABC\ABC_Q2.SHPC:\PATH\ABC\DEF_Q.SHPC:\PATH\ABC\GHI_Q2.SHPSo, I can basically select 1 shapefile and process it at one go but really not sure about reading multiple filesin one go.S3 path: fme://amazon-s3/ABW_C_Q4.zip?id=prithvi-output%2FqualityLevel%2FABW%2FABW_C_Q4.zip&connection=parashas%20Amazon%20Web%20ServicesTried using * in place of ABW_C_Q4 and ABW but doesn't really help.

I am using FME 2014 in order to manipulate some shape files. When I load and inspect the content of the shapes file, I get the following problem:  Although all the greek characters of the content is shown correctly (in UTF-8), the titles of each column (seeing in data inspector) are not recognized. A similar problem I had some time ago with an excel file which had content in greek. In that case also I could see the content of the excel cells but I could see the names of the tabs (sheets). Back then it was enough to rename the sheets to latin characters but now I don't have this luxury (some hundreds of shape files).  What is the issue here? Is there some internal encoding properties in FME? I see I have the same problem in FME 2015.  Moreover, I try to import a shapefile with greek characters and FME can not read it correctly. In the directory field it shows question marks instead of greek characters and its impossible to load it!

We have Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise and numerous excel tables I would like to access are stored there. I've tried and failed to manage to access any. I tried using an xls Reader and a SharePoint Reader. Is the SharePoint List Reader even meant for this? Or is the HTTP Caller the way to go? Is there any better documentation with real examples of what is required for the various SharePoint parameters (site, authentication). I am using FME 2017.1. Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm using FME 2018 with default python settings, I got the attached work space and it doesn't work because of the python problem , I don't know much about python or the coding of the transformers . @daleatsafe @boubcher @takashi

Hi guys, I am newbie to this forum and even FME. My simple question is that why IFC to GML export not allowing me the layer values? The layers values (like wall, floor etc in IFC) are missing in GML format.

Hello. Can we control the flow of the in[ut gdb feature classes so that the first feature class is read first, goes to the complete workspace and the output is written? Then the second feature class is read, goes to the complete workspace and the output is written and so on! Thanks.
