Data

Hi, I am trying to replicate the V-Lookup formulas in FME that I currently have in my excel. Also the current excel formulas refers to a different sheet named Limits and I am looking to create the same sheet in the FME and finally when the writer generates the output the file should have 2 sheets - 1st one where the data is written and the 2nd will be Limits. Writing to the existing template is not an option due to complexities involved  

Hi all, I’d like to use FME to execute some count SQL functions on SQL server (SDE). I’m having trouble with the syntax of the SQL in FME and I’m not receiving any output from the SQL Executor. SQL I’m running:SELECT COUNT(*)from "SDE".SAMPLE;

I'm using FME to write spatial data to a SQL Server database via an SDE connection, but the table is created without the spatial data. How can I ensure the spatial data is written correctly?Error message below for refernce An error occurred while attempting to create the feature class 'EL.DATA'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216061'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Table already exists [42S01:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]

Hello everyone,I performed a feature merger between two shapes and obtained a list from this transformer. My list is as follows:insee: 11232code: PTRSURF: 11insee: 11232code: PPHSURF: 15insee: 11232code: SPLSURF: 23insee: 15500code: PPHSURF: 2insee: 15500code: SPLSURF: 555So I want to assign the elements of the list to an attribute table (in columns). I have a maximum of 96 elements for a single code, so my resulting table will have many columns.So I want to get this: How should I do this?THANKS

I am having maybe a similar but different issue with the mbtiles writer.  For some reasons the Zoom level dialog is not making a lot of sense to me.  In my case I would like to force the writer to write out levels 0 to 11. In my head I am thinking I would set minimum zoom level strategy to “Lower”  and then the Minimum Zoom Level to 11.  My assumption is that when we talk about level it matches up with the table below.  However with the above setting I get a mbtiles file with just one level in i (see results 1 below for log). If I instead set Base zoom to Upper and Minimum Zoom to 0 (run 2 below for log), I get a file with 10 levels.  This is close to what I want, but I want 11 levels. Any ideas on how to better explain the dialog to me and get me 11 levels??  thanks so much!!!  Run 1 log: Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being output and recorded on all output ports regardless of whether or not there is a connection.     Command line to run this w

What is the best approach to write to selected excel cells if I am overwriting using an existing template? How can I make FME understand to apply the formula or the predefined values based on the feature count in my input file ?  The template contains the predefined value in the first row. Item ID Program Full Name Master Certificate Number Address   Dentist Association   XL89                        My Input File / Reader FileItem ID Full Name Address 12 Jon Doe 14 King St 45 Mary Jane 5 Todds Ave 345 Henry Smith 7 Queen St  My expected Output Item ID Program Full Name Master Certificate Number Address 12 Dentist Association Jon Doe XL89 14 King St 45 Dentist Association Mary Jane XL89 5 Todds Ave 345 Dentist Association Henry Smith XL89 7 Queen St

Hi, I am having an issue of trying to use a dgn cell library and seed file on FME Flow for point features. The workbench works correctly on desktop but not Flow. Is FME capable to read cell library and seed files on FME Flow? This is the error message I get:Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple update workflow that doesn’t like me. I am trying to update my enterprise portal with GDB updates and will eventually want to have this run everyday but for now I am just trying to figure out how to update one shapefile and repeat this 30 times. Right now I haver set up a GDB reader going directly into ESRi ArcGIS portal feature service writer to update an existing feature in enterprise and I have got it to write the features but it doesn’t want to publish the feature into portal.Can someone help me figure this out?    

Hi all!I am trying to convert the Open Building Designer file to IFC 4. It was found that the IFC exporter in the Open Building Designer does not map features to the correct IFC entities, most of them will be classified as ifcBuildingElementPoxy. Therefore, I plan to try the conversion using FME. However, there is no reader format for Open Building Designer. Should I start the conversion by reading the Bentley MicroStation Design V8 format instead? 

In a SDE reader, you have the option to ‘Resolve Domains’:In this example, this will take fields that have a domain, and create a new field with a suffix ‘_resolved’ and populates it with the descriptions from the coded values.I.e:The original field with the domain codes is ‘Accuracy_Spatial_Source’, while the ‘Accuracy_Spatial_Source_resolved’ are the domain descriptions.Once the codes are resolved, I no longer need the original fields, is there a simply way to remove these automatically?Sure, I can use an AttributeManager and remove them manually, however, it is not very practical or efficient when having more than 50 fields.One way to somewhat ‘cheat’ is to use a BulkAttributeRenamer and remove the suffix ‘_resolved’ to basically ‘overwrite’ the original fields, however, this causes schema issues.Another method I tested was using a PythonCaller and generating a list of all the “unresolved” fields, however, I could not find a way after to bulk remove the attributes from a list.Has an

Hello all, I am working on the generation of SolitaryVegetationObject with a workbench referring to https://hub.safe.com/publishers/con-terra-lab/templates/citygml-create-solitaryvegetationobject-with-implicit-representation. The conversion details could be reference to my last post below. As you could see from the FBX and CityGML file below, some texture went missing in the CityGML model. I have only one PNG as texture and my model has two parts, one is the crown (130 surfaces) and another is the trunk (2700 surfaces). My findings are that the <app:X3DMaterial> part referenced to both parts of the model separately while the <app:ParameterizedTexture> part only referenced to half of crown part of the model (65 surfaces), leading to an incomplete texture. Is there any potential cause to this problem as observed from my workflow and is there any way to fix the issue? Thanks! FBX texture CityGML appearanceWorkflow for FBX to CityGML  

Hello all, I am currently working on the conversion of FBX tree model to CityGML SolitaryVegetationObject. I have made reference to the template workflow for creating SolitaryVegetationObject (ref: https://hub.safe.com/publishers/con-terra-lab/templates/citygml-create-solitaryvegetationobject-with-implicit-representation). However, my case is slightly different from the template. First of all, what I current have, is a CSV file containing the tree information (XYZ, DBH, etc) and an FBX file containing one 3D tree model with correct transformation and dimensions (DBH). This FBX file was originally a prototype in FBX format and was transformed into a correct XYZ and DBH. Since not all my data contain crown spread and tree height, they would be estimated by scaling from the prototype with reference to DBH. This estimation would not generate a value for the crown spread and tree height but only a dimension change. What I want to do is to convert this FBX into a CityGML file, appending the

Context : The reader file has 14 attributes ( No formulas ) and the format is Excel File. For the writer file, I am trying to leverage an existing template file (with 2 sheets - Standard & Limits) and the final output should be written to the Standard sheet of the template file. The template file has 80 attributes in total.  The value for some attributes are based on the value from the reader attributes, some attributes are hardcoded in the template itself and the remaining attributes will be populated based on the formulas from the existing sheet i.e Standard and the Limit Sheet. What is the ideal approach to achieve the result ensuring no formulas are overwritten in the template file - standard sheet in the process and that my final writer output has the exact same sheets ?

Hi - I’m trying to create polygon geometry from the GeoJSON in the attached file. This is a string attribute returned from an API.I was thinking I could use a GeometryReplacer with the encoding set to GeoJSON. However when I do this the record is rejected with an ‘INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCE’  message.I have passed the GeoJSON attribute through a JSONValidator and this doesn’t flag up any issues.Any suggestions for what I’m doing wrong, or alternative approaches would be very welcome.Thanks in advance.

I am trying to create a workflow that will update a feature layer on ArcGIS Online that is powering a dashboard but keep running into several roadblocks regarding updating the layer. The points themselves are being updated from two sources (other AGOL feature layers) and I am using FME to combine them. First they go through an attribute manager to get the schema matching (They are similar, but different attribute names and one is significantly longer because it just has more data. This longer one is the base for the "master layer"), then those two go through an Update Detector transformer with both of those being compared to the "mater" feature layer. That update detector finds which existing records have been updated (I hope) and then those updated or new records are linked to the master feature layer writer in Update mode. The problem I am running into is when I hit run, an error occurs and says "your layer is missing the ID attribute 'OBJECTID' neede

I have a list containing 93 different WFS URLs, my goal is to be able to read these in one workbench without clutter and for the workflow to handle changes in the URLs for example, a new WFS is released and gets added to the list, I want it to work without having to change or add more to the workbench.Im using FeatureReader to read the format OGC WFS (Web Feature Service) but it wont accept an attribute value as the Dataset, I mean I can put one in there put it does not know what to do with it. If I put the URL directly as the Dataset it knows exactly what to do and I can use the Feature Types to Read and select all an they end up as text separated by a space between each Feature Type. This theoretically means that I could just write a list of every Feature Type I need, use the Attribute Value as Dataset and get results. However, what I really need now is a way to get every Feature Type from the WFS List so that I can ad it in place of Feature Types to Read.Dataset = Attribute ValueFea

Hi,I have a very complex KML file with many folders and subfolders. I would like to save the folder name or full folder path where each placemark is located — something similar to the "FolderPath" field when converting KML to GDB in ArcGIS Pro.How can I achieve this?

Hi,I have error while running the workbench from How to Expose Feature Attributes from KML Tags or HTML Tables – FME Support Center It failes at point Method 2: XML> 2. Fragment XML Any idea why it does not work. I have not changed any of the settings in that workbench

would like to know if FME can read annotation classes and text symbol information that are defined in the Feature Class properties (e.g., in a File Geodatabase or Enterprise Geodatabase).Specifically: Can FME access Annotation Class Names? Is it possible to read text symbol properties like font, size, color, or placement defined in the annotation feature class?    

I have tried to read GML file using OGC GML reader but I got some errors. I Tried different version reader still the issues coming all those files. 

I have three datasets containing points which I want to bring down to one complete set.Dataset A contains most of the points but not very accurate in terms of locationDataset B contains less points but is more accurate then dataset ADataset C contains the least points but is the most accurate of all three sets. So I am looking to create something like the following: When there are three points (dataset A, B and C) within one meter of each other merge the A and B with the point from C. When there are two points, for example dataset A and C, merge the point from dataset A with the one from C. And so on.. A way of ranking I would say. Now I have tried using the NeighborhoodAggregator but I cannot specify which point I want to merge which point. I have also looked at the NeighborFinder but I cannot seem to get that working either. Is it possible to have all three datasets analyzed together? Or do I have to do two at a time?

I have two layers: one raster with population data for each cell (blue) overlapping polygons (buffer of 100m) around existing road segments (red)I would like to know the total population contains in each polygon. How do I do this in FME?   

Hi Everyone, I have this “open” dataset provided by the City of Toronto.  I am using a few from the city that are provided in this manner.  The only way to bring it into ArcPro and then extract it to a geodatabase is to use the json address and add by url, then use the ‘feature to point’ geoprocessing tool to extract the data to points in gdb format, then use as needed.  I need to get this layer into FME from the live feed so I can analyze it and then push it out via other format(s), one of which is AGOL feature layer.For some reason I have been unable to bring it into my FME script via any JSON reader or HTTP caller and I’m wondering if anyone else here will have more luck.The link I am working with is as follows:https://gis.toronto.ca/arcgis/rest/services/cot_geospatial2/MapServer/64The json link is:https://gis.toronto.ca/arcgis/rest/services/cot_geospatial2/MapServer/64?f=pjson If anyone has the steps to bring the content into FME (geometry and attributes) to have it available for f

I'm converting 3D data from Postgres to an Esri Indexed 3D Scene Layer (slpk). I'm converting this to an i3s service on Azure (not ArcGIS Online). When loading this as an external layer in ArcGIS Online, the LOD seems totally random, buildings are being visualised but not the way I'd like to see (not based on distance). Is there a way of optimizing this in FME?
