Data

Hello,I have built a workspace in Workbench 2022.2.4 that reads a specified shapefile (e.g. 10_18_24_line_review.shp) from a folder titled C:\New Shapefiles, performs some basic transformations (datetime stamping, attribute formatting, spatial relation, filtering, etc.) writes out two new resulting shapefiles (with naming conventions based on the new ‘_timestamp’ field) to a folder titled C:\Outputs, then moves the original shapefile being read into a C:\Completed folder using the FILECOPY writer.What I would like to do now is:Configure the workspace to read in any single zipped shapefile that I place in the “New Shapefiles” folder. Scilicet, the naming conventions of the zipped shapefiles I receive will not be consistently predictable, but only one will be in the “New Shapefiles” folder at a time.To clarify: my vision is to drag and drop a new zip of a shapefile (containing concomitant files [e.g. .dbf, .prj, .shp, and .shx]) into the empty C:\New Shapefiles folder, open my workspace

Hi,How can I expose the result (print), like attribute in python caller:         from_value = min_iten[0]['from']        to_value = min_iten[0]['to']        print(f"{from_value[:-10]}") Thank´s

Hi together We have a problem by writing mulriple cable data into a fgdb. The process runs once per cable and writes their information into a fgdb, the process is repeated for each cable, stored in a csv list. Now we have the problem, that the next cable in the list is overwriting the previous one in the fgdb, instead of getting appended. We assume, that the problem lies in the writer configuration, but we don’t find a solution to our problem. Is it possible to append data to existing data in a fgdb or do you have any ideas (like Python skripts, other transformers that could append the data of each run etc...)? Thanks for your support

Hi FME folks,Is it possible to sort the column names in the Table View in the Visual Preview alphabetically?It's frustrating to have to scroll all the way to the right to find a column that starts with an “a”... Thanks!

Not sure why this is possible, but in the FGDB Writer it is possible to create a coded domain into unlimited coded domain.No idea what is the point of being able to do this, because in ArcGIS this is not supported at all. Well, maybe there is something new I missed from ESRI. But yet I can’t see in ArcGIS Pro the SECOND_CD I created.Anyone could tell me what is the purpose of doing this ? What am I missing?I’m on FME 2024.1.Thanks!

Hi,I have a workspace that uses some RasterToPolygonCoercer, but the performance is very low.I need to improve the performance. I'm trying to convert some clouds detected in my raster image into polygons.How can I improve that? Thank´s   

I am new to FME Workbench and I am using the latest 2024.1 version.When I tested to add CSV to ESRI ArcGIS Portal as a new point feature layer, it succeeded to create a new feature service in portal but failed to insert CSV data into the newly created feature service with following error message: “ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: UPSERT failed for feature service 'Sample_Test': Append job failure: 'Operation rolled back.'”Then I have to re-run my workbench again, and this time it will insert all CSV data into the portal feature service without any issue.BTW, I am using “Create If Needed” as Feature Service Handling parameter.Could someone help me out to make this workbench adding CSV data to ArcGIS Portal in one process? Thanks.   

Hey,There is one blog on support.safe.com on working with esri shapefile data. There is a scenario and below explained the workspace attached to it.I am not getting how the Shapefile is created in below scenario. The shapefile was already given in the template file.Below is the link of the article - https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407430413837-Tutorial-Getting-Started-with-FME-DesktopHow the esri shapefile used in the reader is created? Thanks in advance

Hi,I understand that the Raster Expression Evaluator transformer doesn't work properly, only in the new version 2024.2.I would like to know how I can proceed with my workspace, as I want to keep only the raster pixels with values greater than 0.3. How can I solve this? Please find my sample attached: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yil9aZj5mkiTQi7lbvDJfFejWKQE4YTl/view?usp=sharing Thank´s

Hi,  I have an excel spread sheet that i have to read and load into a database table. The structure of the excel sheet is different from that on the database. Sample screen shot of the excel spread sheet is seen below. Columns J-S are county names, and the values associated with it are the cost for each county.I need the 10 county column names loaded as values into COUNTY_CD column in the database and its associated county cost value loaded into database column COST_PER_SQFT. So, for every row in the excel spread sheet I will have 10 rows in the database and each row represents data for each county. The database columns and the values to be loaded should like belowI had looked into several post that does transpose of columns, pivot tables etc, but I couldn’t find a solution that works for me. Any help is much appreciated!  Thank you,lsugumar.

HiI have a DGNv8 3D CAD drawing of a bridge i want to load into FME since i have been tasked with converting it to a different format.The issue is that not all parts of the bridge loads/reads properly, most notably the deck of the bridge is missing. Most of the bridge is drawn using smart solids.Here is the bridge in MicrostationHere is the bridge in FME. All i have done is add a reader and an inspector.And if u look at the feature information for those missing parts it says nan. I have attached the dgn file in a zip file. I hope some can help me or confirm that it is not possible in FME.Thanks for taking the time to read my question.  

I have a kmz file. There is a point in it. When I open the kml file with fme, the screenshot is attached where it converts the geographical latitude and longitude from degrees minutes to decimal. Additionally, degrees have been converted from minutes and seconds to decimals by Tubitak, the leading institution in Turkey. The screenshot is attached. Does anyone know the reason for the difference? 

I need the coordinates of the intersection, where lines cross the railroad geometry.With SpatialFilter/SpatialRelator I can isolate the lines (from a larger dataset than shown here). But I cannot identify the coordinates of the intersection.In the drawing the red dots are the points I need, they are handdrawn for explation.Any ideas as to what I could do?Thank you :)  

Hi FME fans, I am using the MS Sharepoint List writer to update values - this is using Feature Operation 'Update' using Row Selection 'sharepoint item id'.This works fine when I give it a new value, eg a different date, however if I set the value to null in FME the value in sharepoint doesnot change. How can I set the value to null?Thanks, Owen

Hi,I have a dataset with 8 images. Look below at the images together: After using the Raster Mosaicker, the output is 1 image like this: What could I have done wrong in the transformer, or what else is necessary?Thanks.

Hello everybody,I found many discussions about this topic, but, I just want to renew this discussion. Is there any way, how to convert word (docx) file to PDF format in FME, please?Thank You so much for all tips!Lubo

Hello There, I’m hitting a brick walk with trying to get FME to talk to OS Downloads API, as anyone found any advice and guidance on this?

Hello, we are trying to use our FME server to run all of our data conversion via the API. We have created a workbench and uploaded it. We set the service to Job Submitter. When we run it we can not see were the output was written to.  The log indicates that job was run successfully but the log does not have any mention of an output location. We have tried to set the output File Geodatabase location to a network drive: “\\nos.noaa\MCD\FADS\FADS_Projects\FME_Workspace_Output\Weekly_Atons” and a local server drive: "F:\FME Server System share\repositories\Testing_Nate\ALL_USCG_Weely_Xmls_to_GDB\output\Weekly_Atons"Any help would be greatly appreciated 

Below you can see line and point features. Let's say each line segment has its own unique ID - in the example below, it will be from 1 to 6. I want to copy IDs from lines to poles that they intersect.According to my example, it would be:Point A: ID 1, 2, 3, 4Point B: ID 4, 5, 6 I have thousands of lines and points. What’s the best way to do it?Appreciate any help!   

Hi there, the table shown in the pdf image is missing in my data inspector. In some newer pdfs it does apppear. Can anyone help me '’expose'’ the tables. Also my attributes are only showing as format attributes. This makes it very difficult for me to turn my filtered data (.dwg file) Into an Excel. edit: I got it the table working by turning on all the parameters in my reader. I dont know which parameter did the trick… 

Hello Guys,i have an issue with bringing our geometry from a oracle 12C format in a AIXM gml format. Whatever i tried so far, the writer just refuses to write any geometry, while anything else seems to work just fine. The output was good enough to satisfy the AIXM validation but it is useless for us until i am able to write the geometry too. I am trieing to achieve that with the help from the XML-Templator and so far, this is how it looks:It looks fine to me, the coordinates are hard coded for testing and will later be replaced by a variable holding the coordinates for each object. But i would like to write any geometry in the first place before i think about that. I will provide my workspace and the gml i managed to generate with the hope that somebody can make out the issue at hand. Ty for reading this and every bit of help is appreciated!

I’m trying to use the DwgStyler to convert a GIS, point feature class to an AutoCAD drawing with inserts and attributes.

I have this json file (see the attached txt file) that I want to load into a table (shown as in the attached excel file). I have done many json conversions over the years, but this one puzzled me quite a bit and could not figure out a good way to do it. The difficult part is that for each asset Id, there could be a few years of emissions. Each emission has two emission type, n2o and co2.  How can I capture each year and its emissions into rows based on the emission type to be pivoted? {  "assets": [    {      "Id": 25494428,       "Emissions": [        {          "2021": [            {              "EmissionsFactor": 1,              "EmissionsFactorUnits": "U1",              "n2o": 10            },            {              "EmissionsFactor": 2,              "EmissionsFactorUnits": "U2",              "co2": 100            }          ]        },        {          "2022": [            {              "EmissionsFactor": 3,              "EmissionsFactorUnits": "U1",              "n2o": 11 

Note: we are primarily using FME Form version 2023.2.4.0 (build 23785), but have also tested this on 2024.0.1.0 (Build 24202) with similar results.We have received DGN files that are referencing models that are both internal and external to DGNs themselves. These external DGN files are located in the same directory folder as the file being read. We are interested in having the reader (Bentley MicroStation Design (V8)) read not just the primary DGN, but also the referenced models.In the parameters for the reader, we check the box for “Read Elements from Reference Files” and set the value for “Max Depth of Reference Files to Read” to something arbitrarily large like 20.Selected parameters, but have tried a variety of combinations of values with no difference in outcomes.Because we are interested in reading data from different files, the “Single Merged Feature Type” option is selected.When the reader is run, we see data from the primary DGN, but nothing from any other DGN that it it is re

Hello , i have a Python script works good into Pycharm without problems , to do some tasks on excel file then i am using the new excel file output of Python as input in FME .i would like to use Python caller , to put the same script inside FME.how could I change the script to be compatible with Python caller ?which changes should I consider and think about it  ?Thanks in advance
