Data

I have a workspace that is aimed at accepting either a shapefile or a DWG to define an area of interest which in turn is used to find data. I've linked both readers to optional parameters, blank default sources, and set 'ignore failed readers' to yes, yet when only uploading a shapefile (i.e. not uploading a DWG) I still get a process failure on FME Server with this message about the DWG reader failing:I can try later with feature readers, but to me this shouldn't fail - any ideas?

Hi guys,I am trying to automate a process which requires to write into a new file-geodatabase everytime i run. is there a way that FME can create a new file geodatabase for my feature classes in a same workbench?Thanks!

I have a dataset with 3D buildings in the format CityGML (EPSG: 25832) and would like to present this in Cesium as 3DTiles. The 3DTiles must be available in the WGS84 with units in Radians, and at first the longitude and then the latitude must be listed. (See 3DTiles specification: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/3d-tiles#coordinate-system-and-units)    Input data:  Format: CityGML  EPSG: 25832,  Unit: metre  Geodetic CRS: ETRS89  Date: European Terrestrial Reference System 1989  Ellipsoid: GRS 1980  Example: 544913.83 5460346.67 205.41 (x, y, z)    Required output data:  Format: 3DTiles  EPSG: 4326 but in the unit radiant  Geodetic CRS: WGS 84  Date: World Geodetic System 1984  Ellipsoid: WGS 84  Prime meridian: Greenwich  Example: 0.16786

Hello,I am curious to know if the Scheduled Instance on FME Cloud would terminate a non completed job in FME Server.In this theoretical scenario I would schedule the FME Cloud Instance to be activated let's say at 10 a.m every day and that the FME Server Job would run at 10:15 every day. Under normal circumstances it would take 30 minutes to run the job and my FME Cloud Instance will be deactivated at 11 a.m . But what would happen if the FME Server Scheduled Job one day takes 1h 30 m to run, would FME Cloud Scheduled Instance wait for the job to complete?  Thank you.Lyes

I am using the Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer to publish feature services to our ArcGIS Portal from an Oracle database. When we use ArcMap to do this it writes to ArcGIS Server, not ArcGIS Portal, and creates a link between the Oracle database and the feature service in ArcGIS Server. Then when the data changes in Oracle, those changes are reflected in ArcGIS Server. You can also write back to the database by putting the feature service on a map in ArcGIS Portal.However, this is not the case with the FME Portal Feature Service. It creates a file geodatabase and a feature service from that geodatabase, but the link to the source Oracle database is broken. In ESRI terminology this is a "hosted service". Changes to the Oracle database are not pushed to the feature service.Are there plans to make a Esri service that writes to ArcGIS Server and keeps the connection between the source database and the feature service? We would like to automate our publis

Is there a way to reduce the bit depth in TIF images from 24 to 8?  I've gad a look at the RasterInterpretationCoercer and RasterNandInterpretationCoercer transformers but haven't managed to get very far.  The ultimate destination is BIX BCP and this is only compatible with 8 bit colour hence the requirement to reduce the bit depth.  Thanks,  Matt

Hi,I have received a text file to convert to polygons with donuts but I am unfamiliar with the format.

Hi,I have a cityGML file.I added the FBX writer and used the Generate option to convert it to FBX.It generates without errors 6 files, but if I try to open them in Blender I receive an error related to the incorrect binary. The same with every 3D modeling editor: can´t open it!Someone can help me? Screenshot available below. If needed, I can paste the log file.

We recently had HTTPS turned on for our AGOL site and now cannot access layers in feature services in FME 2017. Has anyone else had this experience?

Here attached you can find an example of the geotiff image I need to convert. 

Hello,I have the following map:https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1mtB5peL8y8Xc0aj85d5OMZX-sFsWhere I would like to use FME to read directly (online) from the map and extract out the desired pieces of information to publish in our Open Data Catalogue.Everything I have found suggests to export to a KML file but that requires manual intervention and I want this as an automated process.I am open to suggestions.Thank you

Hi, MapInfo writer is populating -9999 to attributes which have been manually set as integer or float and is empty. Cant figure out why?  Thanks,Ashish

Dear FME friends,I am using FME 2016 64-bit 16174. My workspace throws up an error with the following message.0.0|ERROR |No specified layers were found in MapInfo Dataset I removed the readers and inserted them again. Still do not read. Any idea?Thanks in advance.

Hi,  We are writing to a new geodatabase with FME 2012.  Geodatabase Error (-2147219115): The row contains a bad value. FileGDB Writer: A feature could not be written.  Has anyone experienced this error before. Basically the schema is written but no content is populated.  The data is viewable mid-translation in the Universal Viewer.  Thanks,  Annette

The XML Module halted on error, see the logfile for detailsI have a workspace that works fine with Desktop but fails with above errors when running through Server?

Hello,   Is there a way to check if a feature class exists in a file geodatabase . If not , throw an error .   Is this possible ?

I installed smallworld PNI(Physical network inventory)In the same machine also installed fme desktop 32 2017 with GE smallworld licensing 30 days eval license.also requested GE to provide *.dll and *.fmf files for fme(for GE smallworld reader and writer ), and placed in respective folders.I opened fme desktop and tried to add the smallworld reader , but fme saying “ unable to connect smallworld server, is it running?”now how to start smallworld server ? Do we need to start fme inside PNI ? if yes where should I go to start fme?I strucked somewhere. pls help me

Hi FME fans,   Does anyone know if it is possible to create a histogram for a raster in FME?  This would be similar to the 'calculate statistics' arcgis tool.  I am using the file geodatabase raster writer.  Thanks,   Owen

Folks,Pardon my nomenclature, I suspect that's part of my problem.I've been adding Mapinfo Readers as I've needed certain tables to be converted to CAD. That's left me with a list of 10 separate readers in the navigator.Previously when I did something similar for MI > GML I just added ALL THE TABLES in a single Reader as a group.Changing data sets is snap you just open the new set.With the individually added one-reader-per-table I need to go into each Reader and open the corresponding table.Is there a way to "group" these readers so I can open the referenced tab files as a set?

Hiya,Im having a problem using an Airtable API https://airtable.com/ to pull data into FME. I have followed a similar solution to a previous API link, yet Im getting this error below. Can anyone help with the below?JSONFragmenter(JSONQueryFactory): A JSON syntax error was found at line 5, column 9JSONFragmenter(JSONQueryFactory): Unexpected character: 'v'. One of the following characters was expected: '"', '}'The below feature caused the translation to be terminated

Hello,I have our own FME plugin which works fine on FME 2016 and 2017.On FME 2017 I see "Where Clause" and "Select statement" added to Parameters tab of Feature type dialog (dbl click on Reader). See the pict below:Question: do you know what changes / additions shall I make to my plugin .fmf file (or any other file(s)) to enable these "Where Clause" and "Select statement" settings for my custom plugin as well?I checked "oracle_spatial.fmf" but do not see what exactly code causes Oracle Spatial plugin to enable these two settings.Thanks!
