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'm trying to read some USFS wildland fire data. There's a link to the kml on their website:http://www.wfas.net/google-earth/wfas_nfdr.kmzWhen I use the url in the kml reader, it downloads it to a temp file location successfully (I can see it there) and it's unzipped. It's got a folder structure about 5 deep.Then I get FATAL |KML: Could not determine the root kml file of `C:\\Users\\xxx\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\FME_OGCKML_KMZ_1562607566639_14376' If I go to the temp file location and navigate down to the kml, I can read it in no problem.C:\\Users\\xxx\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\FME_OGCKML_KMZ_1562607566639_14376\\fsfiles\\office\\wfas2\\dir-obs\\wfas_nfdr.kml
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?
I’m working on a data inventory project and need to figure out what data sources are being used in a large number of aprx’s. Is there a way to determine the data sources of an ArcGIS project by directing a workbench to an aprx file path?
Hi everyone, i have few questions about coordinate systems1. How can i know in which coordinate system is file that i upload2. And how can i reproject that coordinate system into 32634(I have been trying with reprojector but it’s not exactly right when i add project in qgis on my map)3.Which ever coordinate system i tried, it never is 100% matchSo i need help if someone can tell me what should i do?Thank you in advanced
Hi ExpertsI would like to suggestion and GuidanceDoes FME Form has Time as field type I’m using FME 2024Thanks
Hi,I’m finding that the date shown for data updates on ArcGIS Online Hub is misleading and not showing the date that we are actually updating the data, has anyone used the Metadata Updater to update any of the dates in metadata? I don’t see it listed in the dropdowns for the updater. Or should I be using the XMLUpdater?Thanks,Lorinda

I am having trouble writing a few rasters to a raster fgdb. Most are fine but a generate errors of undefined. But previous definition seems fine. bit of a stumper. don’t think it’s a projection issue. Any thoughts? Error on write for 1 or 2 rastersPrevious step has all as fme_aggregate and fme_type as raster.
We are using FME 2021 and planning to bump postgres version to 14.Are there known issues with that combination?I have tried to find a compatibility sheet for FME Desktop/Server and Postgres and/or other Software, but did not succeed.
Hi guys!I'm trying to understand how the STAC Asset reader works.In my case, I have a URL to an item, but when I try to access it, it complains that I don't have authentication. When I then check the "Use authentication" box, I only get options related to AWS, and not the service I created.I've used the URL to retrieve data via Radiant Earth Stac browser with my credentials and it works there.Has anyone used this reader to extract data from sources other than the default ones?
data source CSV file each day populated with date stamp, my requirement need to load CSV each day to SQL server
Hi,I am new to FME, and I am trying to build an FME workspace that reads multiple .csv files from a folder and write each file to separate table in SQL server. Each CSV file:has different schema should became it is own SQL tableHere is what I tried so far:I used Directory and File Pathnames reader I used Feature ReaderThe <Generic> port of Feature Reader shows no data, I am assuming because the schema of each is different. the <initiator> port give me the correct file name and path.
The website Dynamic Workflows: Destination Schema is Derived from a Lookup Table > Creating a Table-Based Schema > Geometry Type tells me that valid values for the `geometry_type` column are the values from the `fme_type` format attribute. It provides the full list of values under this link. The link is incorrect. This is the list of FME internal data types. These are NOT valid values from the `fme_type` format attribute and these are NOT values from the `geometry_type` column in the screenshot above in the tutorial.Where is the correct list of values for the `geometry_type` column or the `fme_type` attribute?
Hey Everybody, In my work, I generally get the question from clients to build a FME Server Web Application. Often, the question involves a MS Excel file, which needs to be analyses and converted to points/lines/polygons (GIS). Mostly, I use a Creator to kick-off the Workspace and a FeatureReader to load in the Excel. Also, I force the FeatureReader to have one single output port (Generic) and load in the Excel file using a User Parameter when kicking off the Workspace. This means that I need to Expose all attributes individually in the Workspace.However, this limits the flexibility. When I want to create a Web App from the Workspace, the input Excel always needs to have the same columns (so a Template Excel as input). An potential extra column is therefore not exposed an not in the result of the Workspace. However, in some cases, it is for my clients not possible to always use an Excel Template. Or they want to add additional information. My question therefore is, is it possible to dyn
I am reading dwg file, but i cant set him the right coordinate systemThe file i am reading is from autocad 2012In autoCad coordinate system is set to EPSG : 31277, i dont have that system in my fme workbench Thank you in advanced
I have various values in a 'code' field.A sample would be: A33, B111W, B12, C3V etc, etc.This issue is, there should be decimal points between all numbers, i.e, these should correctly read: A3.3, B1.1.1W, B1.2, C3V. There does not need to be points between the letters.I can string replace “33” with “3.3” and continue to do that for all values if I have to, but I’m hoping that there is a more efficient way of capturing these values and using regex or something to force decimal points between the numerical characters. I’m not well adept at using the stringformatter, but maybe there is something there?
I am trying to create a workspace that identifies consecutive duplicate point in DWG polylines. and outputs their coordinates for future review.As per my example, Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF (normal reader or FeatureReader) does some autorepair on the features while reading. The DWG feature has 12 vertex in AutoCAD but only 7 in FME.Please see attached sample feature in dwg format.I want FME to read the same geometrie that AutoCAD gives.Using FME 2024.2.1.0 build 24801
I am writing data to an excel file but when I open the written file, the first row of the file (that includes the column headings) is hidden and I have to manually expand it to show the headings. Is there a way to fix this in the writer at all?
Hello everyone,I’m working in FME 2023.2 and using the ChangeDetector to compare features coming from PostGIS and ArcGIS Online (AGOL). Visually, the geometries look identical (no edits were actually made), but the ChangeDetector keeps reporting that a large number of features have updated geometry.I’ve already tried:Turning on Lenient Geometry Matching in the ChangeDetector Setting Vector Tolerance to a small value (like 0.0001 - Takes more time)While that helped reduce the count somewhat, I’m still seeing a substantial amount of features flagged as updated when they shouldn’t be.I suspect it might have to do with differences in ring orientation, vertex ordering, or the presence of Z/M values, but I’m not certain how best to address these discrepancies so the ChangeDetector recognizes that there hasn’t really been a change.Any suggestions or advice on how to make the geometry truly match (or be treated as unchanged) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
