Data

Hi, I am trying to convert raster data in the forms of .grd, tiff or GRID from ArcGIS Pro into a csv/table. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.  GRD file loaded on ArcGIS Pro 

version: 2024I am trying to convert data from fgdb to dgn. I used AttributeSplitter and DGNStyler to reassign size and width to each text elements. Single line text is work but seem mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier cannot write to dgn.  Is igds_text_width_multiplier in DGNStyler cannot update igds_multi_text?Remark: I tried FME 2021 is work. mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier can write to dgn.

Firstly I combined my building objs by Aggregator, then I separated them by Deaggregator, finally to b3dm. I have coordinates of those building objs but All building overlapped in Cesium, How can i locate the buildings according to coordinates.

Hi, I have created a gdb with 2 feature classes, strings and points. But it only works the first time. Every time I make changes to the model and run it again I get errors. I have tried changing every setting but nothing helps. The only thing I can do is create a new gdb every time but that is not the intention.I usually use the Insert and drop and create settings   

Hi, I’m using FME 2024.1.I want to write xls files out where my field names appear in Column A (with their corresponding value pair in Column B) instead of in rows. Sounds simple, right?!Writing the data out with an Excel Writer produces a default output like this:Field Names in Row 1, values in the corresponding column....this doesn’t make for a particularly human-readable output when you have 250+ fields in the output dataset.This is the style I would like the output to be in:Field Names in Column A with matching values in Column B.I have tried using an AttributeExploder to create n

Hello : ) I have a Form workbench that first deletes some records from two tables in a geodatabase and then inserts new records into these tables in the geodatabase. This worked fine in FME 2021 but after upgrading to FME 2024 the delete creates a lock on the geodatabase and causes the process to fail: An error occurred while attempting to open an insert cursor on the table 'Total'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220947'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Cannot acquire a lock.} Any advice on how to fix this problem would be great. 

Hello FME Community,I am trying to convert annotations from a CAD (.DWG) file to a GIS (.GDB) file in the form of points, in such a way that each line of annotation text is a separate point with an attribute of this text. Everything seems to work fine in my workbench, however, after attaching to GIS programming and loading the resulting points, it turns out that in many cases additional points have been created in each line of text, which prevents me from using them correctly.Has anyone encountered something like this and would be able to help.I attach screenshots of sample annotations in AutoCAD and after conversion in GIS software.FME version: FME(R) 2023.2.1.0 (20240104 - Build 23774 - WIN64) 

I’m fairly new to FME and I’m not sure this is possible. I’m attempting to add a MS Word doc. to multiple zip folders (from a fanout) that contain shapefiles. It’s basically a data dictionary that needs to accompany the shapefiles.  Is this possible?

Hello, unfortunately I have repeatedly problem with exporting to Excel in Workspace. I checked log, there is following message: 2016-11-24 10:05:57| 67.6| 0.2|ERROR |Excel Writer: Failed to save changes to the spreadsheet 'D:\\XXX\\XXX\\XXX\\new.xlsx'. Check that you have write permission to the file, it has no password protection and is not opened by another application. Error message is 'Permission denied.'It looks, that there is error on Excel side, right? I just want to create new Excel file...

Hi all, I've got some confusing to clear, and hope to find an answer here. I have 2, completely the same datasets, uploaded to ArcGIS Online. Now, i want to update them. To test it, i took 2 completely identical layers, read them from AGOL and now, it shows differences. Can someone explain me what the problem is? If i only check on attributes, then there is nothing wrong, but if i also check on geometry, there is somewhere a change, and the Changedetector gives updates as output, but it should be unchanged. All the data is 2D, there is no 3D. In the update detection key attributes, i selected all the attributes, but left GlobalID and OBJECTID out of it. same for check attributes. Even more confusing, if i do the same process in a new workbench, with the same sources etc, i get different results. Sometimes it igeve met 900 updated, and somethimes 1322

Hi I am doing migration testing from 2023.1.2 and 2024.0.3. It seems to completely fails on 2024.1.I have tested it on 2023.1.2 and 2024.0.3, worked perfect - no issues.It fails on FME Flow and FME Form on the server - but works OK on my local PCon the server - oldeb 2019, clr 2019, are installed, as with .net 4.7, 4.8 andIt is just a simple sql server spatial reader - and a bit of reprojection - it fails on reading the reading the dataCheersRudy

I am trying to read an ALKIS data file coming as XML file. I have two files, the first one come with version 6.0 and FME opens this file without any problem (xmlns="http://www.adv-online.de/namespaces/adv/gid/6.0"). However, when i try to read the version 7.1 (xmlns="http://www.adv-online.de/namespaces/adv/gid/7.1") I got an error as following:XML Parser error: 'Error at file: 'K:\……..line: 1 column: 1 message: invalid document structure'An error occurred while attempting to parse the XML Schema document 'file:///K:/Geodaten/Projekte/ALKIS/2411_ALKIS_NAS/NAS-Operationen.xsd'The XML Module halted on error, see the logfile for detailsA fatal error has occurred.

I am trying to use the duckdb summarize commandhttps://duckdb.org/docs/archive/0.9/guides/meta/summarizein an in memory duckdb using the sqlexecutor:SUMMARIZE SELECT * FROM read_parquet('/Users/x/Downloads/Address.parquet');This doesn’t return any results/attributes but ‘runs’ successfully in FME. In DBeaver it runs no issues.Any idea is there is a trick to get this working?Many ThanksQ!

I created a 2D spatial point dataset in a PostGIS database.Today I tried to load them into FME, that works perfect. I get the right locations including the according attributes.I only get this warning:Dimension metadata is ambiguous for spatial column 'geom'.  Reporting 3D when 2D+measures might be presentDid I forget to set some specific settings while creating this dataset? There should be no 3D data present, I only saved 2D data :)

I'm having a hard time determining which version of OGCGEOPACKAGE that FME produces ? It's not in the writer doc, so I'm asking here.And subsequently, what version of SQLite is produced? (newest is 3.39.4 from Sep 29 this year)As far as I can gather, the versions has been fixed since 2020.0? Is this true?In the "gpkg_extensions" table I found a reference to "spec120", which may (or may not) indicate, that the Geopackage version is 1.2.0, a fairly old version (newest is 1.3.1).And the real question is what extensions are the SQLite database born with? Clearly not "foreign _keys".Can one update some template database if one needs a newer version/more extensions?Cheers.

Hello all,I have an Oracle Spatial table that contains some records with a Point geometry and some records with a Polygon geometry.Considering the large number of records, I would like to take advantage of the ability of the Oracle Spatial Reader to perform a SELECT within the Oracle database and return only records with a Point geometry(This is preferable to Reading all records and then using a GeometryFilter for performance reasons)How to I write the SELECT statement?I assume it has something to do with SDO_GEOMETRY, but I just cannot get the syntax correct

I’m using the ArcGIS Portal writer to publish point data to a portal. The dataset publishes successfully in FME and all of the points appear on the map, but the attributes don’t show up in the table. Removing specific fields doesn’t seem to help. Has anyone seen anything like this before? 

Hi,I would like to create a workspace that reads all tables that start with the same prefix. I then want to save the result per table as a shape file. If a table is modified by a add or remove an attribute, the workspace should pick this up automatically. Is that possible? My first thought was to work with a dynamic reader, but then I get stuck that it will retrieve all tables, including in other schemas within the database. The second approach is, I create a query that generates select statements and puts these statements in a text file. I then read the text file with a textline reader and install an SQLExecuter. That's all going well.What I run into is that the SQLExceuter cannot automatically expose all attributes.

Hello everyone,I encountered a similar issue as the one described in the following post:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/95574/problem-with-postgis-reader-in-fme-2019-infinity-v.html Basically I had an invalid date in my PostgreSQL table (no idea how it got there). It had a value of 201910-11-10 which of course is not valid whatsoever. FME 2020 ( Build 20238 - WIN64) throws an error when you try to read this table using a Reader, a FeatureReader or an SQLExecutor/creator.I was able to bypass this by adding a where clause upon reading (e.g. mydatefield < '2021-01-01').I'm not looking for a solution for my problem here. I just wanted to add this to the forum so that people who encounter a similar issue know how to solve it. The FME software currently throws an error whic

Hi, I have downloaded, installed and uninstalled all versions of FME Form from 2024.0 up to latest 2024.2 and still having issues reading and or creating a new reader from Microsoft SQL Server. Every time I create a new and or update reader transformer, the reader disappears. Same when I create a new reader, it never show up. I have another machine that runs (2023.1.1.1 (20231011 - Build 23636 - WIN64) and it runs fine. I want to update my version as this old version is unable to read from Amazon RDS. Has anyone experienced this or experiencing this?Update * after further investigations. I have found the below. There seems to be incompatibility with the versions and I could not find a version that can read both version of MSQL. Microsoft SQL Versions FME Form 2023 (x64) FME Form 2024 (x64) Microsoft SQL Ser

Is it possible to know that the relationship class "C04_EjesVia_LS_Rel" links the feature class "C04_EjesVia_LS" with the annotation class "A04_EjesVia_LS"? Any specific Reader configuration or attribute that I'm missunderstood?I attach FGDB sample. 

I have a Geometry column that includes an easting and northing that is separated by a space in the middle as follows: I want to split this data up so that eastings go into one column and northings go into another. I have tried using an AttributeSplitter with a space as the delimiter and then a ListExploder to view the results but unfortunately this doubles the number of records in my data instead of creating two unique columns. How can I create two separate columns from my data?

Hi, i’m working on water treatment facilities. I’ve to categorize them in order to write a excel file which lists the existing and some deliverable.  I’ll try to explain the best i can : basically the data are from a gdb,  i’ve a tester to sort depending on categories. Some cat can have missing/null values, i need to “force” those missing values into the translation in ordrer to write the corresponding categories in the excel files.my situation now is that the missing values given they’re not written shift the writting in my writer and then do not correspond with their according row.i’ve 9 differents categories so 9 row but when i’ve just 5 filled categories, i’ve those 5 written but it change the alphabetical order in the written row so the categories dosent match the row. How can i say to the translator “if i’ve no values write the default value “0” else “no action”” Thanks, hope i’ve been clear enough

Hi All,We are currently working on Maximo connector transformer(s), and have been successful in connecting and querying a Maximo database. However, there is an incredible amount of functionality available through the APIs, and I would like to initially concentrate on what is most useful to our users.So I am requesting your feedback on how you would like to use FME with Maximo. Do you want to add Assets or Work Orders? Do you want link Maximo info to your GIS or BIM data. Do you want to do complex queries? This is a chance for you to shape the design of a new series of transformers.Detailed uses cases would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I am experiencing an issue with writing dynamically to SDE for large datasets (i’m unsure of the exact number, but above ~5000 features seems to cause a fail).  My flow reads in a dataset name from an SQL table, matches it to a dataset that has been downloaded as part of a previous flow, checks if it has been updated and if so drops and recreates the Feature Class using a name given in the SQL tables.When running the flow in batch using a Workspace Runner, ~half of my datasets ran successfully, and ~half failed to be updated in the SDE. I have looked into this is some depth and the only pattern I can see is the datasets that are failing are larger. The error message I am getting is below. I have tried using a sampler on the data just before the FeatureWriter and the flow works correctly, which validates my findings. What could be the potential reasoning behind this behaviour? or has anyone else experienced similar? If there are any other suggestions of settings
