Data

Hi All, Does anyone know how to set the FORMAT for a Generic Writer at run-time? I have a generic reader and want to output to whatever format the input data was. Is there a good way to do this?  I've tried getting the input fme_format_short_name and using that as an attribute, as well as OUT_FORMAT, OUTPUT, FORMAT, and OUTPUT_FORMAT. But all fail with the tautological:  ERROR |Generic Writer: Cannot use the Generic writer to create a Generic writer. Please select a different writer for the FORMAT keyword.  Thoughts? Thanks, Jonathan

Hi all, fairly new to FME and can't find much about this topic. I am using an FME workbench to move over a lot of data from an oracle database to a Microsoft SQL server. This is done by using a lot of SQL creators. It has been working fine but I think I have reached the limit of the Oracle I am using. My error is "did not succeed; error was `ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded". I was trying to keep this all in one workbook - but I am not sure how with this error? I tried creating a separate database instance but that didn't work.

As beginner with FME, I try to read documents from MongoDB.As far I understand, as a defaut behavior, if an attribute is not detected in the first read documents, its reading will be skipped. Is there any way to avoid this behavior?Many thanks!

I am attempting to write from a WFS FeaturerReader directly to a FeatureWriter, using the tip outlined in this post:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/69654/writing-table-with-featurereader-featurewriter-pro.htmlThis works for some datasets, but when I try to use a particular dataset, I get an error message:Bulk copy failed on table 'public.road_works_line_temp' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'ERROR:  extra data after last expected column CONTEXT:  COPY road_works_line_temp, line 1: "NULL:featureMembers:rwe_line.143236:143236:Sporting/social event:NULL: road closed:NULL:Pending:NULL..."'The wfs url is http://api.vicroads.vic.gov.au/vicroads/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION;=1.1.0&REQUEST;=GetCapabilities&AUTH;=eyJraWQiOiJRRFFQWDZVSDlQRExOOU9GQVowMlNFRFVYIiwic3R0IjoiYWNjZXNzIiwiYWxnIjoiSFMyNTYifQ.eyJqdGkiOiJuUzRMM0MzSURvdzRsakNNc3R2Y0IiLCJpYXQiOjE0OTE1Mzg2NDQsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBpLnN0b3JtcGF0aC5jb20vdjEvYXBwbGljYXRpb25zLzRBeTd5RjJtUUNpQlpxUHo5Q3lRVTgiLCJzdWIiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5z

I am writing some geom to a KML file and wanting to group the data by Phasing. I have used the feature type name to identify the grouping. When it writes the KML the groups are shows as kml_id_doc_1.1.11.4kml_id_doc_1.1.11.5kml_id_doc_1.1.11.6Does anyone know what is going wrong and how I can fix it?Thanks

My workflow successfully read in the 600,000 dgn features, ran through a Matcher transformer to eliminate duplicates, was going through a featuremerger and geometry filter where it bombed as it was writing to shapefiles. The error - f_67(CreationFactory): Error - Number of measures found on the 'line/path' geometry did not match features number of coordinatesI have my Reader set to Master coordinate units. Has anyone seen this error and is there either a setting or some other filter/transformer that can be added to fix this?I'm reading MicroStation V8, processing in FME 2017

Hi!Working with Sentinel data, you get some 120 files i a zip file (standard download). Only three are needed to make an rgb image with FME (as described in this post: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/43742/making-rgb-images-with-sentinel-data.html).This workspace snippet begins to extract these file names and should then pipe them to the next step (there is more to follow). But I am unable to figure out what goes into the gap between the TestFilter and the RasterBand... transformer. I simply need to get the path_windows attribute to be understood as an input file.

Hello y'all,I submitted a large international airport file to your online IMDF validation portal and I haven't received an error report yet, it has been over 45 mins since I submitted the file. I have uploaded a smaller file, and I received an error report. Is there a file size limit with the online validation? I appreciate any guidance! I am using FME Workbench 2018.1.Thank you!

I am creating a workbench to be uploaded to FME Server. As part of the workbench I want the user to be able to upload their own shapefile (Any shapefile, no restrictions.). How do I setup the user parameters to allow this to happen?Thanks for any help.B

Hi,I've developed a workflow to convert about 100 dgn files into mapinfo and cad formats. In essence I have a single merged .dgn reader. Each .dgn is read in and some geoprocessing happens to make layernames explicit and then a writeback happens. The issue is that the writeback will only happen once everything is read in. The output features are named based on the input file.For cad writeback using a fanout: @Value(fme_basename).dwgFor mapinfo writeback using TABLE NAME: LinearFeature_@Value(fme_basename)What I would like to happen is once the source dgn is read it gets written which should free up memory and hopfully speed up the process.This has sort of been asked before with write features as they are read from @mapper @david_r and also Write outputs before translation is complete from @jamiefinney and @redgeographicsHowever I am not sure how to implement the master-child pattern suggested by @redgeographics.Below is a screenshot of the workflow however in essence itsRead d

Hi,I have a list of lat/long points in a text file and I would like to see where they fall onto a map. Is it possible to plot them over an existing shp file? How would I do it?Thank you!

Dear community!First of all I've to say that I'm very new in the world of FME.I have the following problem with the conversion from a simple 2D point feature to a non-spatial pdf. I'm familiar with the transformers (PDFStyler, PDFPageFormatter) and the Adobe Geospatial PDF File - Writer which I need for my pdf output. But I've no idea how to extract the information (Atttributes) of the points and write it in a table or list (in an ordered way) in a PDF. My problem is that the attributes are distributed spatially (according to their actual location in the map) across the PDF output after the LabelPointReplacer.thx for your help

I have a large number (> 1000) of mapinfo files that I need to convert into an esri geodatabase but i do not know the geometry of each mapinfo tab or have the time to find out each.Is there a way to automatically convert to the correct geometry type when selecting folders of data?

Hello There we are using google Sheet reader, but when published on the FME server, we are getthing access error we tested the workspace on the server , its seems like it not even reaching the autentification page , I beleive its due to restriction on the server, what is the URL we should give the system admin to clear it Thanks

It looks like there might be a limitation of only being able to use a single file upload parameter for a workspace when running the workspace through the FME Server Javascript API. Does anyone have any experience with this, or how to overcome the limitation? I'm assuming that we will need to resort to the REST API?Here's what the documentation for the Javascript API states for the FMEServer.runWorkspaceWithData( path, parameters, callback ) method:parametersObjectThe Object representing the parameters:  { filename : workspace_file_parameter_name, files : files_object, params : name_value_pair_string, service : service_name }Note that there is only a single "filename" parameter. You can upload multiple files to that parameter but it's just one parameter.

I am encountering this error in FME when trying to do a POST request using the HTTPCaller when trying to reindex ArcGIS Portal using FME Desktop 2016.1. The ArcGIS Portal token was retrieved successfully before Portal reindex that means the proxy settings works fine.HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been entered

I am using FME to update (Insert mode) an existing Google Fusion table. My FME Workspace runs successfully with no errors and shows that it writes the features. However, the Google Fusion table shows no edits or features inserted. Any ideas? My Google Fusion writer has the credentials of the owner of the Google Fusion table so permissions should not be an issue.Thanks,Sasha

Hi.I have multiple excels as input. I am carrying out the summary from StatisticCalculator and writing the output in excel itself using batch mode. The output is Output_<input file name>. The number of input files is the same as the number of the output file. Now, what I want is to get output in one single excel in multiple sheets(tabs) with sheet name as Output_<input file name>. Will the same thing work with Batch mode? What I already tried is to use the sheet name as the reader parameter but the output is not as desired. Also, I tried FileNamePartExtractor, the attributes are blank. Any solutions?

Hi,So I have an oracle database with oracle timestamps as one of the columns. How can I make it so the reader only reads records between today and 7 days ago based on that timestamp? Otherwise I'll be reading millions of useless recordsThanks so much!
