Data

I have a feature that is a circle and stored in Oracle. When translating it to a MapInfo Tab writer, the circle does no export to a circle it is more of a 12+ sided polygon and slightly shifted.Is there a way to rectify this issue? or even assign tolerances? I have read somewhere that it relates to the number of bits - the FME version I have is 64 bit and the writer output for MapInfo TAB is 20 bit?

I would like to transform a directory with several DXF oder DWG files with a coordinate transformation and write all the DXF or DWG files into one new directory. How can I write all the files with the same schema as the input files? I need an output file per input file. I only get one merged output file from the input files. I tried to do that with dynamic reader and writer. How can I get the same amount with same schema of output files like the input files? With esri shapefile this ist easily possible with dynamic workflow.Thank you!

Hi everyone,I having trouble working with a Postgres relational database. Basically what's happening is I'm reading from one (or many) XMLs files, transforming/combining/editing data then writing to a number of different Postgres tables which all link together via a primary key in the 'master' table. When the XML file(s) get updated and a record drops off, I need to delete that record from the master table but because of the related records in the other tables, I am unable to do so. Obviously the related records in the other tables need to be deleted as well (and apparently before I can delete the 'master' record). Does anyone have some logic around how to make this work? It seems I need to find the deleted 'master' records (I'm using Update Detector at the moment), then somehow get a list of all of the related records in the other tables, delete them, then delete the 'master' record. Any tips or advice would be greatly

All, I am trying to export a surface created by TINGenerator from LAS to LandXML. Does any one knows how should I structure the output so my LandXML come out correctly (valid) ?I am using http://www.landxml.org/webapps/LandXMLValidator.aspx to validate my output. Thank you,  

Hello,How to extract a GML geometry from feature with keeping the original CircleByCenterPoint type and the UOM instead of a posList of points ?

I'm new to FME and I'm creating a workbench using two excel files. One has all the data with formulas from information column (Region, Strat, Just Code) to formulas -- simple Sum (A+B), Percentage to complex IF statements AND the second excel file contains info which helps me filter using certain categories (Just Code in this case). I used Feature Merger to merge the two excel files, then Tester and then Test Filter to help me create output based on Strat using Just Code (For eg: If Just Code (in 2nd excel) is 1 or 2, Output that as Poles). I opted for 'Keep formulas' while first creating the Reader but when I checked the output, all my excel numbers with formulas are messed up). In the excel file 'original sheet', Column G (row 10)

Hi everybody!Have you ever heard of ARCHIBUS? As far as I understand it should be a web platform for managing Real Estate, Infrastructure & Facilities assets. According to their website (https://www.archibus.com/):"ARCHIBUS reduces complexity through native business intelligence. ARCHIBUS turns BIM, GIS and Mobile into powerhouses that accelerate understanding of your real estate portfolio, workspaces, and operations, and speeds business processes" Any idea about what kind of data they use? Would it be possible to integrate that with FME?Thanks a lot in advance for any tip you can give!

Hi FME user's,My customer doens't connect the transformer S3ObjectLister. I maked the test in my machine and company and the results is OK, all files are display.I believe my customer wants to contact the IT Team to disable any port.Attached the log file.Thanks in Advance,Danilo de Lima

Why is there a 10 Character limit to V8DGN Cell Names in the V8DGN Writer when the V8DGN file format allows for a 512 character cell name? The old igds days are long gone and I don't understand why FME V8 DGN writers would not use the V8DGN file format attributes sizes? 10 Characters is not enough in the V8 DGN world for a cell name.

Hello,It's hard to explain. I'm french guy and new in FMEI give you a "fmw" file and try to explain my problem. I try to transform an AIXM 4.5 file to an AIXM 5.1 file. This concern the "AirportHeliport" feature. I follow different examples on the FME website and some examples in my office.I have a problem with the final schema. I try to obtain the "servedCity" structure at the end of the transformation but in the final output file (XML File) the structure "ARP" disappear ... I don't want that, but i don't understand why ...So, if i connect the bookmark "servedCity" the result with ARP disappear and if i disconnect "servedCity" the result with ARP appear.what is wrong with the "geometryPropertysetter" transformer ? I saw it's necessary to use it with the XML_Geometry type but i don't understand why the structure in the xml file disappearPlease some help

Hi everybody!I'm facing a problem with the ocgkml Writer. When I route 3D surface geometry of building models to the writer, I'm getting flipped surfaces for my facade features. Unfortunately this behaviour doesn't remain constant for all facade triangales, some of them are oriented correctly and some are not. The input features look correct to me and exports to collada prove this to be wright.An export with FME 2015 also shows a correct export with all walls oriented correctly. So this has to be an issue with FME 2016 and 2017. Has anybody else encountered this behaviour and found some workaround for this? Find attached the sample data together with a snipped of the workspace and the exported KML filesThanks

Hi, I came across the following issue: using a directory and path reader (filtering for files only) and supplying an empty folder works fine (it doesn't produce any files, but that's just fine). However, say I want to skip any processing from this reader, as an innocent user I supply the Windows nul: device. Now my workspace crashes, how is that? Of course, there are a lot of ways around this problem, but wouldn't it be nice if the directory and path reader behaves in the same way like, say, the Windows dir command?

Hi team.I extracted json from http caller. extracted json file attached. json.txt.in this json there are array of points. the path of these points is. ucan see these points after "paths"(text string)routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{0}.array{0} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{0}.array{1} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{0}.array{2} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{1}.array{0} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{1}.array{1} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{1}.array{2} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.array{2}.array{0} routes{0}.routeOptions{0}.optionAttributes.spatialReference.geometry.paths{0}.arr

Hello everybody,I want to create an Excel file with the FeatureWriter. To get the output well formatted I created a new file before that all as a template file. Well, the FeatureWriter does something I don't want to have. It creates a copy of the template file and creates a new sheet in this copy with the output.. This sheet is exactly that what I want to have but the additional sheets of the copy are disturbing. Is it possible to remove the sheets of the template and just keep the sheet which contains the output?Best regards,Felix

I'm an entry level FME user and I'm struggling trying to transform a file geodatabase to kml. The feature class consists of 67k culvert line features with 38 attributes. Both FME and ArcGIS seem to generate the kml but Google Earth encounter an error whey trying to open it. I thought the tutorial could help me discover what I need to do to fix this.

Can FME read and write features that are in ESRI's SDE.ST_GEOMETRY in an Oracle Spatial database? I have a table that is in ST_GEOMETRY, but the Oracle Spatial reader cannot show it because there is no entry in the user_sdo_geom_metadata table. I don't see an ESRI reader that would be able to read from Oracle. Likewise, when I try to write from a file geodatabase that is in ST_GEOMETRY, FME converts the geometry to SDO_GEOMETRY.Thanks

Hello,  I have to read sources that have the same structure in n paths all structured in the same way that I therefore designate to read by ..... dep \\ com ??? \\ shape \\ parcel.shp. ??? Is 001, 002, 003, etc ... No problem for reading. However, I would like the destinations to be written each time in a subdirectory (example: ..... dep \\ com ??? \\ shape \\ l93 \\ parcel.shp.  Can you help me ?  Thank you.

Hello FME Users,I need to put the color in Attributes Names in my XLS file. I saw the configuration in Output XLS, but it change the color all my columm:The Line 1 is the Attribute Name The Line 2 is the Value.Thanks

Hey Safers,I was wondering if it was possible to position an attribute to an exact row/column position!Using the image below as an example I want to designate an attribute 'LICENSE' to the cell indicated by the red arrow, let's say its at G-5Is there a formula I could use? The spreadsheet can't reference a raw data table as its a fan out of many pipelines in one workbook (a,b,c,d)Thanks,Patrick

Hi All,I am facing an issue while translating data from Oracle Spatial to ESRI Geodatabase. while translating the data using FME workbench getting error message "Unable to drop the table/feature class 'GD_EXPANSION_JOINT_point'.

Is it possible to read data from $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) with the feature reader? In a workspace i write excel datasets to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA), I want to read these because they contains attributes which i need to dicede to send a mail (or not) with another job.(The full path to the data is : $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/Informatie_Management/Vaarwegmeldingen/Meldingen_borden.xls)I use FME server 2015

I currently have a custom Transformer that gets a parameter MaxTileCount (the value of _num_tiles) from a WebMapTiler and it counts the number of features and sends a HTTP message every 10 messages to show progress.That is all working fine.However, now I have issue. The PNGwriter is no longer a PNGRaster writer, but has changed to a FeatureWriter that does a fanout. Well that takes a lot of time, So I want to move the Notifier to later in the pipe, after the "pngWriter (FeatureWriter). The issue I have is that I don't know how to count anymore the number of files written by the FeatureWriter as they are emitted, nor do I have access to _num_tiles which is the total number of tiles coming from the WebMapTiler.In simple words, I want to send a HTTPPost message with count/total as the files are written by the FeatureWriter any idea who to do this?
