Data

Hi there, Does anyone know of a way to read multiple layers from an ArcGIS Open Data Site but in a single reader? I need to process many layers from a single ArcGIS Open Data Site and I can do this with individual readers for each layer URL but to make it cleaner I was hoping a single reader could be used to get all the layers I need.

When attempting to connect to MSSQL Non-Spatial schema with Windows Authentication, I receive the following error: "Microsoft SQL Server <Non->Spatial Reader: Connection Failed. Connection string 'Provider=SQLNCLI11;DataTypeCompatibility=80;DataSource=<server>\\<iinstance>;User ID=;Password=*********',Provider error '(2147467259) Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].' Due to database security policy I need to use Windows and not SQL Server Authentication. I am able to access the database with SQL Server Management Studio using Windows Authentication, and have checked server and db name are correct. In the error message, the Windows 'UserID' value appears to be empty, does this mean I need to configure the AD user with FME? If so could someone explain how or refer me to instructions? Thank you.

Hi to all, I didn't find any information about requirements for ArcGIS Server and Portal installation for possibility to publish ArcGIS Feature Service. I mean Hosting, Data Store instalation and so on. Documentation? Thanks.

I'm trying to translate from text features (which translate with their "Text Location As Point") into feature-linked annotation in a GEODATABASE_SDE format. I have the feature class and the feature annotation class and the relationship between them set up in the geodatabase. When I only had the feature class created in the geodatabase I was able to run a translation and populate the feature class. But since creating the feature-linked annotation class in the geodatabase, I am unable to complete a translation. Note that I made sure the feature class (map_element) and the feature linked annotation (map_element_anno) class had zero records before running the translation. Also, note that there are many other feature classes and tables in the geodatabase. So if I were to use the workspace template method for the writer, the schema would contain much more than the features I'm trying to work with. Here's the error message I get when I run the translation: An error occurred while attempting t

After converting .las to .pnts(3D tileset) ,we are able to retrieve RGB and x,y,z but we're unable to retrieve attributes like intensity,classification,no.of returns etc.,

I'm attempting to write linear features to predefined levels with established byLevel characteristics such as line weight, line color, etc. Specific levels are being defined per feature via the igds_level_name attribute when writing to the DGN writer. The configuration of these levels is not established in the SEED file being referenced, but they are configured in a .dgnlib file. Does FME support the use of .dgnlib files?

Hi, I'm trying to write data into a PostGIS database. However, I get the following error: Bulk copy failed on table 'schemaname.dataset' * using delimiter ':'. Error was 'ERROR: value too long for type character varying(3) CONTEXT: COPY dataset, line linenumber, column columnname : "attributevalue" A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details Bulk copy failed on table 'schemaname.dataset' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'no COPY in progress The type character of the column is not set to have a width of only 3. But I keep getting this (or other similar errors). I have tried multiple things: - Using CSV instead of Excel as a datasource - Increasing the width of the attributes - Changing the type of the attributes ( text or string instead of varchar) of both the reader (input) and output (writer) With the Excel file I would get a similar error, but on a different column and line. with the CSV it gets stuck. I have to note that only a schema was implemented within the dat

Hello all Hoping someone can help, i have a minecraft world created with FME, this world contains the Ground mesh. i now have the 3d geometry for the trees and buildings, i want to add this geometry into the exisiting minecraft world. Any ideas. Thank you

I installed AutoCAD 3D Map 2019 and FME Desktop 2018 Win 64 for a user this morning. He also uses Smallworld. He's getting this error message: "This FME edition does not recognize the `SWORLDSWAF' writer. Please ensure that the current platform supports this writer, the writer name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins." Honestly, I know nothing about FME. I never even heard of it until this morning, so I'm reaching out for help. Is it possible that the server software (which I don't have access to) needs upgrading? Smallworld runs on Java, so could an old version of Java be the problem? I doubt he had a very old version though. The PC is running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Thank you.

Hi there. I was trying a simple task to download a csv file from S3 and convert to a shapefile. I could download files with S3 Downloader and narrowed down to my target CSV file with StringSearcher. Then, I used FeatureReader to read the target CSV but I couldn't bring any attributes in the CSV file with this process. I am hoping I expose all attributes including latitude and longitude. Then I want to generate geometries from those lat & long with all attributes. When I run the above workspace, then I got no attribute like below. The process itself was successful though. Here is my original CSV table I was working on. When I create a Creator---FeatureReader workflow with a local csv file, I didn't have any problem to include (expose) all attributes. Why I am missing all attributes when I download a csv file from S3 but didn't happen with a local csv file? What I am missing here?? Please give me some advice! Thank you. @hirooimaki

I have city models in those formats, how to translate them to other format and to each other? And why on earth should FME leave some formats that can only be read or write, not both way?

I have Feature Reader that pulls tiff files, these are then passed on to the Geotiff writer. I now want the writer to write the tiffs, with the world files. I have selected within the writer to include world files but it is not working. I've uploaded the workspace. Thanks for any help. Bjudes

I am attempting to convert a DWG file to an ESRI Shapefile for use in Arcmap and ArcGIS online. The placement of the shapefiles seems to come out ok, however some of the geometry is missing. Just pieces of layers. An inspector was added to the workbench and the geometry looked just fine in it. This has been attempted in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of workbench. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Please help to visualize data from excel in ArcGIS shape files.(excel to polygon shapefile) Please see attachments.

Hi, I am not sure whether this is an FME issue or an ArcGIS Online one. But when writing to a ArcGIS Online Feature Service, writing fails if overwriting / updating a layer which has 'Time Enabled' within ArcGIS Online. If only the single time field is selected, it appears to work ok. If a start and end time are chosen, it doesn't. Citing the error: 'addResults' error for a feature in 'Events'. The error code from the server was '1000' and the message was: 'The given key was not present in the dictionary.' It goes away if time is disabled again within the Service an AGOL. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Matt

What is, or is there, compatibility for FME Desktop and AutoCAD 2019 yet?

We currently have a single workbench stored in a central location being accessed and ran by various users, at various times. I would like to be able to incorporate the individuals system username into the log file name, as well as the date/time when they ran it. Is this possible?

Hi, I'm trying to write a landXML file for import in Civil3D. I have used the template from an old article that writes the metadata. I can get out a file that contains the geometry and the metadata but it won't load in Civil 3D. I have no idea how to get it to work and I have never found anyone that got it to work either in real life or on the internet. Why is documentation so scarce? It seems most people even from Safe only provides half answers on any of the prior threads on this issue. Thanks! /Jacob

Trying to convert the data from Access DB to Oracle non spatial tables. Column is number at writer but the values shows as double with precision values so data format voilation after conversion, Am i mssing any configurations? shows problem in detail.

I'm using a FeatureReader to read features from the WFS: https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/beta/bgt/wfs?request=getcapabilities When I read only one Feature Type, it works fine. But when I try to read more then one, the featyre is rejected. I now use multiple FeatureReaders, each of them reading 1 feature type, but my workbench gets very complex. Can somebody help me fix the problem? Thank you!

Hi, I'd like to update the attribute metadata of our feature classes in the ArcSDE Enterprise Geodatabase. The attribute names and descriptions are in an Excel-file. There is already existing metadata (e.g. a description of the feature class and publication date) that I would like to keep. So I want to update the existing metadata. For testing purposes I created attached workspace and Excel-file. I use an XSLTProcessor - and not an XMLUpdater - because the number of attributes may vary between feature classes. The XSLTProcessor needs a stylesheet as input. This stylesheet is dynamically created based upon the attribute information in the Excel-spreadsheet. When I select 'Attribute with stylesheet' as the Configuration Type and choose the dynamically created attribute 'stylesheet', the XSLTProcessor raises an error on execution: XML warning: Fatal Error: invalid document structure (Occurred in an unknown entity, at line 1, column 1.) XSLTProcessor(XSLTFactory): Unable to transform origi

I want to determine when a dwg file has a certain percentage of 3D Faces versus other solids. It doesn't appear GeometryValidator or GeometryFilter provide for this. Am I missing something there or is there another solution? Sometimes an input model may have cylindrical shapes comprised of 3D Faces around their perimeters and defining their end caps. They look okay to the eye but are horrible to process. Wanting to distinguish those flat 3D Faces (versus other solid primitive shapes).

Hi, I've been processing data and writing outputs to PostGres tables that are created by the writer. I've created a number of writer feature type by copying an existing feature type and renaming them. Every writer feature type has a unique name, followed by a parameter indicating the year. However, this seems to cause an issue where FME considers the copied + renamed feature type to be the same as the original on some level, and refuses to write to it. FME 2017.1 (build 17539) gives a somewhat vague warning about feature types but continues processing: 2018-07-04 10:42:52| 102.1| 0.0|WARN |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2018-07-04 10:42:52| 102.1| 0.0|WARN | Features not written - verify feature type fanout/dynamic settings 2018-07-04 10:42:52| 102.1| 0.0|WARN |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2018-07-04 10:42:52| 102.1| 0.0|WARN | (Check that fanout/dynamic feature type attribute exists and h

Hi, Is it possible to create normal/highlighted KML icons with KML FeatureWriters instead of the standard KML Writer shown in the FME example Here: I am exporting an entire SDE database to 6 different formats and used FeatureWriters to convert/insert a disclaimer into the zipped datasets. Thanks!
