Hello,  Using a SQl executersyntax: update <table name>  set date_start= to_char(sysdate -1,'dd/mm/yyyy')        where  DATE_START is nullcommitNo updates of the tables.Does FME have a problem with using Oracle “to_char(sysdate -1,'dd/mm/yyyy')”?Because the syntax works under ORACLE SQLPLUS  

I am struggling to save text as a hyperlink in Excel. I tried using this formula:=HYPERLINK("http://www.1spatial.com/fme","http://www.1spatial.com/fme")However, the outcome in Excel didn’t work as expected.  Does anyone have any idea why it behaves this way?

IssueI have several 3D objects (coming from IFC) with variable appearance styles. In one case the style seems transparent. Both in FME inspector and in the final writer (Cesium3DTiles) these objects are kind of transparent.(see feature informations in annex)the dark-red “wall” seems transparant by contrast with the two parts ontopWhat I did so farChanged/Reset appearance (AppearanceSetter) → no effect checked on Geometry (GeometryValidator, VertexNormalGenerator, GeometryRefiner, etc) → no effectQuestionsHow can I make the transparent objects opaque? What’s the difference to the other objects?

Hello, I have a pdf report that I need to parse out. I can read it and create a line by line list. It has a line with employee code/name, then subsequent lines with codes and their values associated to the employee. Here is a sample of the report and then what it looks like when it is read in. I can get it split nicely into rows/columns/attributes no problem. My issue is that I dont know how to break it up in each employees portion and add the employee number to each row.There would be a few hundred employees. So in the end I want to be able to spit out a table that has the columns:Employee num, Code, Description, units, extensions,etc I am very new to FME and just struggling to get it figured out. I dont know if I should be using some kind of loop, python code, aggreator etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

I need to update an ArcGIS Online feature service using something other than 'OBJECTID' field. In previous versions, I was able to set the "Update Key Field" in the 'Properties' dialog box of the AGOL Writer. In 2017.1 that option is gone. I can't find any documentation or examples on how to set the Update Key Field to something else.Any suggestions?

I have MSSQL ESRI Entrerprise Geodatabases that are non-versioned but have archiving enabled. As far as I have figured out, there are no ESRI tools that easily copy data with the full archive of the feature class.If it was versioned I could use the ESRI tools for replication…What is the current best methods for an operation like this?

The error code from the server was '405' and the message was: 'This SqlTransaction has completed; it is no longer usable.'. Details: 'Unable to apply edits. Please check your parameters.'  Any ideas? It’s attempting a truncate. I have purged temporary files and tried to replace all the connections and make a copy of the workbench but still no dice. Thanks,Joe

I have an exsiting MS Access database. I would like to insert some updated rows to the existing table named tbl_STATIONS, so that the existing rows will be updated. However, it fails with the following error.Microsoft Access Writer: Failed to write attribute `Id_station' of feature type `tbl_STATIONS'. Provider Error `(-2146825023) Impossible de trouver l'objet dans la collection correspondant au nom ou à la référence ordinale demandé.'What is the issue here?

How can I use the Python caller transformer to call Arcpy and run the ArcGIS Repair Geometry tool? I have polygons from a file geodatabase that I'm importing into our Postgres SDE. After loading them, many of the records won't display due to geometry violations. I tried using the FME Geometry Validator transformer in my workspace, but it didn't seem to resolve the issue. Alternatively, is there a way to configure the Geometry Validator (or combine it with other transformers) to repair the data?

Hi, im doing a workspace to check DGN files and i would like to see the linear units as shown bellow: Is there any attribute to expose for this or do i need a python script for it? I have checked the DGN readers help page for this but cant realy find anything. Very thankful for any answer. 

HelloI have set up a feature reader, reading a geopackage and have also set up a user parameter requesting the GSS code from the user to find.When i add “gsscode” = $(LOCALAUTHORITY) nothing is exited via the reader, however, if i remove the where clause from the reader and add a tester with gsscode = $(LOCALAUTHORITY) everything works as expected.Please see images below, but any ideas what is wrong.  I dont mind having a tester, but would just like to remove it and use the WHERE Clause..Regards Andy Feature Reader Parameter  Tester

Hi, While trying to read a shapefile, I encountered the following error. Has anyone come across this issue? It stopped reading all other files: Shapefile reader: Unexpected end of file reading 'filepath\filename.dbf'. Please report this error to Safe SoftwareGeometryFilter_InputPassThrough (TeeFactory): Failed to get block of 235 features starting at index 0Failed to get block of 235 features starting at index 0 When I tried using the FME Data Inspector, I received the following errors: Shapefile reader: Unexpected end of file reading 'filepath\filename.dbf''. Please report this error to Safe SoftwareFFS writer: Failed to get block of 235 features starting at index 0Failed to write feature data to `C:\Users\--\AppData\Local\Temp\FFS_1736990572395_5844_DATA.ffs'Failed to specify the feature index as constraints on the reader Thank you for any suggestions on how this can be resolved. The file is recognized in ArcPro. Thanks,Magda

When reading a file from the web the only options available to configure the client is the Authentication section. In some cases it is needed to tweak some of the client settings in order for requests to properly get though. Sometimes it would be nice to add custom headers or change the SSL settings for example.Of course the workaround is to just stick a HTTPCaller followed by a feature reader, however, this also means that you need to deal with temp files etc etc which just adds complexity to the workspace

I have 3 Excel files and each one has multiple sheets [T1(sheet1, sheet2..,etc), T2 (sheet1, Sheet2,..etc), T3(sheet1, sheet2,...etc). The names of the sheets in all files are identical and the name of the fields in each sheet are identical too but fill with different data. I need to join or merge each sheet from one Excel file with the corresponding one from the others based on a common field (ID) and have one excel file. I did different attempts but I did not get the right results. Could you help please.

Hi all,I’m facing some troubles converting IFC data to Cesium 3D Tiles.Background:I have several IFC files containing mostly 3D objects concerning civil engineering source coordinate system: EPS:2056 different, user-defined PropertySets different IFC versionsGoal:Cesium 3D Tiles with all attributes (PropertySets)What I did so far (transformers in FME):Adding a dynamic reader with autodetecting IFC version Extracting PropertySets from Geometry Doing some cleaning on Geometry, i.e. removing extra Bounding Boxes and adding Vertex Normals Scanning the schema Writing dynamically to Cesium3DTiles FME Version: 2024.2.1.0 (Build 24801)Problems:some features are missingI cannot see why some features/objects are missing. They obiously run through all transformers until the writer. There are no errors, only 2 warnings saying:NOT changing coordinate system of reader identified by keyword `IFC_1' from `EPSG:2056' to `IFC_COORDSYS_0' -- mapping file setting of `EPSG:2056' overrides coordinate system

Hi having an issue where my FME data update job is running fine from Desktop when you click run.  But when I published the job to FME server and set up an automation to run nightly, it seems to be pulling in old data when it runs. The job reads an excel spreadsheet in a folder and plots it and inputs the output data into our SDE.  It seems like when I publish to FME server the excel spreadsheet is not being picked up live from its file location.  

Hey. I have created a workspace on my desktop where I used source data from a local disk as part of my testing. Now I would like to have the data for all WS that use these sources in one place on the FME server, specifically on the Resources\Data path. The specific file path is "$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/TopSky/AirportHeliport.BASELINE". Before publishing WS to the server I set this path on the reader as well, see attachment, however the file cannot be found when running WS from the server. Do you know where could be the problem?Thank you

Hello Guys I have a polygon  we need to know the length of each segment and which direction the segment is facing north , south , East or Ouest. Thanks 

I want to read some views in Microsoft SQL Server Database using a Database-Alias (not the Servername).I tried to make a DB-Connection using Microsoft SQL Server (ADO), but it didn't work with the alias (it works with the Servername).With a Microsoft SQL Server (JDBC)-DB-Connection, I can access the DB, using the DB-alias. Then I wanted to read the views, using the Microsoft SQL Server Spatial (JDBC)-Reader:I can access the database, but not the views. (In a database-application like DBeaver it works fine) TheDB- user account I use, is allowed to read the view, but not the underlying tables. Is FME not able to handle those permissions?  

Room output from an Architectural Revit model are solids. I need room polygons and I’m not finding a transformer that will do this.  Each floor of the model has a floor elevation value which would be perfect for slicing the room objects.FME version 2024.1
