I tried creating a kml_open attribute and set it to 1 but it doesn't expand the folders. Examining the markup, it doesn't appear that the <open>1</open> tag is applied to the root document. However if you set the kml_visibility attribute it will apply that tag to the root document.I am using FME 2017.1.1.1

Is there a way of setting the Geometry setting on the output feature type with a published parameter?

Hello, I have a problem with selecting and passing on selected parts of my table from one transformer to another.   I have two datasets - GML data called Bygning, and table with specific styles, line weights, symbology etc. From the table I need to select only those rows that have also the Bygning name, and would be used to style the Bygning GML data.     I do not know how to select only specific rows from my table automatically, based on the name of the incoming GML layer. I could use AttributeFilter and type manualy the name of the data, but I have dozens of datasets so the process needs to be automated.     My current approach is attached. It works but is not elegant.  I remove all the unnecessary data from the GML file, merge it with the table and then merge it again with data. That means I need to load data twice and due to data being huge it takes a lot more time than needed.     Can you guide me how to select the needed rows from the table?   Thanks!Sample data:

Since I upgraded to latest Build 17650 I first had problems with a corrupt FME Installation where e.g. StatisticsCalculator outputted only NULL-values (see this thread).Now I executed all our statistics batches finding out FME is now writing data in white font color with white borderlines, you can say as "white boxes". It ignores formatting of the template-Excelfile. The data itself is there, but not visible because of white color. The XLS-Template used (since 4 years unchanged) has standard formating in black with light grey borderlines...Are there any known bugs in the excel writer since Build 17291?If you change font color and borderline color manually you can see the values:

Do you know, if it's possible to write simple html code in the prompt of the parameters for a workbench in FME Cloud.I do it in Desktop (to have text color, bold or italic) and it's works good. But in FME Cloud the html is not translate.HTML Code in FME DesktopHTML Code in FME CloudHave you got an idea for this issue ?Thank youDamien

Reading an AutoCAD dwg, how do you get the entity handle of a piece of block text while also retaining an attribute to relate the text to its block?In my workbench I have the following parameters, which seem applicable, set:- Expand Blocks into Entities: Yes- Read Visible Attributes as Text Entities: YesThis gets me the block text entity with its autocad_entity_handle attribute set, but none of the attributes I can tell relate it back to the block from which it was exploded. It would seem that the autocad_block_name and autocad_block_number attributes would do this but they don't get populated.I am using FME Desktop 2016.1.1.0.

Hello everybody!I try to solve one big problem... I work with workspace which export some spatial data and all I need to do is to create envelope around exported data. BUT, I need the envelope which is composed by predefined AUTOCAD BLOCK in separate DWG drawing (e.g. frame or drawing stamp; block is everytime centered into 0,0 coordinates)... To better imagination I attached picture, where I decribed my aim.I would appreciate every help. Thank You so much!Lubo

Hi,I have to merge two tables with the common field.. one is from plain sql database and other is feature class..Here I am using Feature Merger transformer..But I have to query the data in feature class using wild card search (data) from table1.SQLDatabase-------------------(Select Code from Table1) ||FeatureMerger ----> I want to query the data FCField like Code | |FeatureClass -----------------(Select FCField from Featureclass)Any help would be highly appreciated.Cheers,Srikanth Dasari

I have a large number (~1000) Excel files that I need to import into a database table. They are many different formats, so using a reader with a defined schema will not work. I would like to have the output contain the following attributes:FilenameSheetnameRowNumberColumnNumber (preferably as a number but could be letters as used in excel)value (as text)I've tried numerous things and searched through many posts. It seems like this should be a simple task, but the Excel Reader attempts to detect a "schema" for a sheet, and it uses values it finds wherever in the excel as attribute names. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,I get Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified. Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `\\\\coacd.org\\dfs\\PDRD\\IT_Services\\GIS_Group\\Programs\\Zoning\\test.gdb' for writing when using FME Server. This works on my desktop.I've checked on permissions, and was told I have modify privileges. I tested that by writing a shapefile to the Zoning folder and that worked. As you can see I am also using the UNC path. I've also played with both the arcobjects and API writers. I have a sample workbench that I am testing. I would appreciate anyone looking at that or giving me some clues on this issue. Thanks! 

HiI have an issue with NULL geometry features in ArcGIS. Such point features occur when I write them without a geometry to a ArcSDE DB by using FME. We found out that not only FME has problems reading such NULL geometry features (when using an ArcSDE Reader), but also when reading them through ESRI Mapping Services. However, when using an empty geometry instead of a NULL geometry, no errors occur.In the Oracle database, a NULL and an empty geometry are differently defined:NULL geometry: NULL Empty geometry: MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(3001,2056,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,0,998,1,1,1),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1,1,1))Is it somehow possible to write empty geometry features in FME (2016/2017)?Greetings, André

I have made an aggregation of lines that I have saved in MS SQL. when I then make a STGeometryType () on the table I find that a GeometryCollection has been formed. I want to avoid this and instead save it as a MultiLineString. However, I do not find any settings where I can control this. (then I will do the same for points and spaces to completely avoid GeometryCollection.)

Power BI allows the developer to access data either by a direct connection to a database or by importing a dataset from a database. The import makes the operations in the Power BI report faster because the app doesn't have to go directly to the database, but the data is not fresh. Are any plans to create an FME writer that could access and write to Power BI to emulate the import process? That way an FME script could be run on a regular basis to refresh the imported data.

I keep getting this error when trying to write out large amounts of data from a workbench to the Default version of a versioned feature class in a SDE:|Error while retrieving an ArcObjects update cursor for the table/feature class 'ILMOCDBO.gtlf_ln'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216072'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Underlying DBMS error [[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]The app domain with specified version id (11) was unloaded due to memory pressure and could not be found.] [ilmoccmp.ILMOCDBO.gtlf_ln]} From what I've learned, that error means that the SDE ran out of RAM on the server that it is installed on. This happens because when FME is writing out the data, it is being written to a view in the SQL and the view lives on RAM while this happens. The error occurs when trying to write out large amounts of data, but can vary depending on the size of the data being written out and the amount of free memory. What I am

I have a published parameter of type "Choice with alias (Multiple)". In this parameter, I import all the towns, departments, regions... of France (like 40 000 lines) from a postgre table. When I run the workbench in FME Desktop, it takes a little time to filter the values according to what I'm writing and to select them but it can be ok. But in FME Cloud, it's very very very long and I can't really use it.I've try with a list without the towns (7 500 lines), it's better but still not usable.... Have you got an idea for my problem ?I know it's a big list for a parameter but it's the goal of my workbench. I have a table of 19 000 000 lines and I have to do a filter according to selecting territory by the user.Thank youDamien

Hi all,I'm trying to process one DWG and create another DWG. There are some blocks inside and I used DWGStyler to make it all right. And that works. But there are also a number of zero-length lines for which I want to stay lines in the output DWG. Instead, they are turned to points and converted to blocks. I've tried to set the advanced parameter "output zero length lines as lines" but it is not working. No matter what I do, they become points and convert to block in output. Their position is identical to block position. I need them to stay there, and stay as lines or points but not to convert to blocks. Any advice what to do? Thanks.

My workspace has two readers - Oracle and Postgres. Sometimes the Oracle reader feature has records and sometimes it doesn't. I'd like for the Postgres Reader feature to be read only when the Oracle reader feature has records - i.e. to be dependent on there being records in the Oracle reader feature. Is this possible to do?

All:I have an issue with the following error on my Windows 2010 R2 Standard 64-bit server running FME Desktop version 2017.1.0.0 (20170731 - Build 17539 - WIN64).When I have the same version of FME running on another PC, the workspace runs fine without a hitch.I can't seem to figure out the problem. Please note, I do have FME 2013 on this same server but the PATH for the environment variables have the 2017 path established before the 2013 path.Please Help!!! :)-----Python Exception <ImportError>: No module named parserCould not create Python Reader `GOOGLESHEETS'A fatal error has occurred

While I realise there are examples of this elsewhere, the techniques outlined don't appear to work for me. I have multiple CSV files that do not have a header, the first row of data is always being read in as the header row (despite me saying that the data is in row 1) and only columns with null data have "colX" so I don't see how I can use a concatenator alongside a dummy CSV with the true header information.Can anybody provide some detailed directions on how I can import csv's into a database using FME where there are no headers without excluding the first row? Thank you!

I am looking to convert an IFC export from Revit to an ESRI FileGDB Multipart Featureclass and would eventually like to view in ArcGIS pro. Any help or start would be much appreciated, thanks! Link to IFC: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/up76utq2soz6tjc/AADd-jppK5pJ6_q9Qtt6Jufwa?dl=0

I need to implement to load one Excel file into AWS RDS Database. And Excel file have multiple sheets and one sheet have 65000 records. And I don't know how many sheets will be come based on dividing sheets with 65000 records for one file. I searched google and FME knowledge. There is the similar answer which is using Generic Reader for loading all dynamic sheets. But it is not working using Generic Reader. Thus, I would like to ask the way to load dynamic excel sheets from one file to load into the database.

Setting the kml_open attribute causes FME to write an <open> tag to the placemark, but I suspect it should be written to the folder the placemark is in. That would make it unsuitable to be a format attribute since it applies to all features in the placemark. I would argue it's better to make it a feature type property.See https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/58958/how-do-you-specify-the-the-kml-open-attribute-to-f.html?&childToView;=59153#answer-59153 for additional discussion

There is a wonderful page that states that this is possible, https://www.safe.com/convert/dwg/postgresql/ , but I haven't found any additional documentation. I am not super experienced with AutoCAD, nor PostgreSQL. The page states that this can be done retaining details "such as annotation and symbology during the DWG to PosgreSQL translation".Ultimately, I am trying to take multiple DWGs and write them to our PostgreSQL DB into a "Master File" that could be imported, clipped, etc. back into AutoCAD for reuse.Any help on what formats to write to, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
