Preventing writer from executing if features in another workstream exist.

Hi,I have two workstreams in my workspace:Check data integrity, culminating in any errors appearing out of the NotMatched port of a Matcher.Writes the data out.The two workstreams are separate from eachother.Is there a way to prevent the writer from executing if features appear in the NotMatched port of the other workstream?At present, I disable the writer and run the workspace repeatedly (correcting errors in the NotMatched port) until the data is ready to be written. Not very efficient... Would appreciate any help!

Anyone connecting to Oracle Cloud for EiS, HCM and Financial Management solutions.

I'm trying to connect to Oracle cloud for the human resources and financial management services. So far, I am not having any luck. Has anyone been able to set up these connections? If we could connect to the existing EiS reports that would be a fine work around but as far as I can tell we can not have the EiS reports automatically load into a FTP site where we could grab them. We are currently using FME 2017 but are fine upgrading if a new version is needed. Any advice or help wold be greatly appreciated.

hello, I need to convert IFC to OBJ, but I had some trouble when converting. Firstly, IFC has many features, but the OBJ converted just has a feature(geometry?). In the process of transformation, merge all the geometries into one. I don't want to merge. Secondly, the transparency properties of the material in the MTL file are all 1(In other words, OBJ is transparent).It's really terrible. Finally,I want to export the attribute table from IFC.Is there any way to solve it?Any advice would be appreciated!Thanks!

Select only certain values in excel spreadsheet column

Hi Can someone advise me what the easiest method there is to select only certain records from an excel spreadsheet, based on one column?I have a simple excel spreadsheet listing bin deliveries to addresses as individual cases from our CRM system. One of the columns is whether the case is Open or ClosedOne of my FME workspaces is configured to map all these into SHP format, which i've succesfully doneThe other workspace now needs to also map these, but only where the case is Open.I've tried the Attribute based Transformers, but can't get the correct outputAny help much appreciatedthanksSimon Hume

center and zoom (set scale) to polygon within google static maps

My workflow right now is set up to do some calculations on a property boundary then be able to show that property on an aerial image. Where I'm getting stuck is to be able to find a way to set the scale (zoom level) of the google static map so the polygon is centered and at an appropriate zoom level. I'm using the 'google static map fetcher' transformer and have everything working to be able to center the polygon within the google map, just want to find a way to set a scale level to have it adjust to the different size polygons.

Spatial xyz (points) to .jpg/png

Hi, I have a lot of profiles measured as xyz data (points) in RD coordinate system. It's an Excel with all the profiles, each profile has it's own name (1,2,3, etc). Is there a way to convert each profile to a separate .jpg/png file in FME?

Connecting to a HANA Geodatabase

Hi, I have set up an Esri Geodatabase on HANA 2 using ArcGIS Pro and loaded data in it using Pro. I then tried to establish a reader connection to this geodatabase from FME 2018 using a connection file created in ArcGIS Pro.The system I am trying this from has ArcGIS Desktop 10.6, ArcGIS Pro 2.1.3 and FME 2018.0.1 installed (b18310, 64-bit). The HANA jdbc driver has been installed propoerlyThe error I am getting is: 'Could not open Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: -2147155361. The error message from ArcObjects is: Connections to HANA to geodatabase in SAP HANA are only supported from ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Server sites.I can think of 2 possible reasons:1. The 'Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)' format doesn't support HANA-based Geodatabases (yet?). If so, is this on the FME roadmap?2. FME is trying to establish the connection using the 32-bit ArcGIS 10.6 libraries rather than 64-bit ArcGIS Pro libraries. The reference to ArcObjects in the error

Hi,I am having an issue converting data from an ESRI SDE connection to KML file in FME due to 1.3m shift from the same conversion in ArcMap.My SDE data is NAD 83, UTM Zone 10N (WKID: 26910). I have no issues connecting to the SDE, I get the same 1.3m shift using a Writer or a FeatureWriter. I do get a warning of:NOT changing coordinate system of reader identified by keyword `GEODATABASE_SDE_1' from `EPSG:26910' to `_UTM83-10_0' -- mapping file setting of `EPSG:26910' overrides coordinate system `_UTM83-10_0' read from fileIf I put the SDE coordinate system of "UTM83-10", I still get the same error. Once exported, regardless of which coordinate system i use, the 1.3m shift is still present in the kml. I have exported from the SDE into both a file geodatabase and shapefiles and repeated the same process and I get the same results. If I re-import the KML into FME to a shapefile and compare to the original in ArcMap, there is no shift. If I import the same kml

Layers from spatialite database not visible in QGIS.

I've created a spatialite database using FME. It includes layers with polygons, lines, points and tables (no geometry). However, FME 2017 does not seem to offer an option to indicate geometry type. Therefore, the geometry_type table and column is not filled correctly thus layers are not visible in QGIS. After adjusting the table manually the layers become visible. Does anyone know how to solve the problem within FME?

I am thankful for any comment.

WRITER_TYPE Error Ifc to CityGML

I am am trying to convert a IFC-file into a CityGML-file. For inspiration I am relying heavily on the intermediate guide for BIM to gis. Now when I am trying to convert the IFCDoors entities into CityGML doors i get the following error:Type of writer to use was not specified (WRITER_TYPE was not found)I have to the best of my knowledge not changed the writer in any way except for the output-file path and the projection system. Every other geometry I am using seems to konvert nicely.So my questions are as follow:What does the error mean?How can I solve it?Thanks in advance :D

BADNEWS autocadCorrTemplate.fmi could not be opened

Hi, When running a workspace on Cloud I get the following error "BADNEWS: File /opt/fme-engine-2018/metafile/autocadCorrTemplate.fmi could not be opened (foundation/framework/engine/tabrdr_classic.cpp:2756 - open) - (foundation/framework/engine/tabrdr_classic.cpp:1460 - getRow)" The same workspace works fine in Workbench and even worked on Cloud in an earlier iteration. I have recently updated the workspace and it does contain a DWG reader but I have made no changes to that part of the workflow.

Error running translation

I keep getting this very vague error message when running my FME. My workspace is simple. I'm pulling down my data from ArcGIS online, I have a joiner to join to other data to get a few attributes, I'm re projecting my data then writing it out to SDE. When I run it all I get returned is Error running translation. I have sent it to inspector and I can see what I want so it appears to be having trouble when it gets to SDE. Any ideas?

3D spatial relator for creating minecraft rails

@dmitribagh and @mark2catsafe created a railway in minecraft using a spatial relator to examine adjacent points to determine the orientation for the rails. See https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1064/how-to-make-minecraft-worlds.html. However the "complicated" condition definition for adding the block attributes only works in 2D and does not incorporate in z data for elevation or slope of the rails. Does anyone have some thoughts/ideas about how to expand on the condition definition to add the slope attributes? e.g. 2 Sloped rail ascending to the east. 3 Sloped rail ascending to the west. 4 Sloped rail ascending to the north. 5 Sloped rail ascending to the south.
