Data

Hello,   I have a workspace that extracts gps data from geotagged photos. In order to do this fme has to read in each file. I just want to create points with a link to the photo, so I remove the geometry straight away.  The problem is that the workspace takes a long time to run, reading hunrdreds of  jpegs.  Is there a way just to read the exif metadata somehow to speed things up?  Thanks,   Owen

When reading from dbase-Tables FME skips processing them when there is also a .dbt file (because of memo-fields including more than 254 characters in the dbase-table)Does anybody knows how to solve this problem?

Hi everybody ,I need help again. I'm trying to transform a map from V8 to V7 of microstation , and I find that the cells aren't not converted.I put a jpg of the diagram that I'm using and the excels of the schemaMappers.The idea is than , in function of the value of a level in V8 I assing the attribute level , and take the same attributes of the input.In the conversion it seems to work OK , but in map of the output doesn't appears nothing , no cells.I put the schema in FME and a sample of the excel of the schemaMapper.Thanks for your help !!!

Hi Everybody ,Anybody knows what is the procedure to convert a map from V8 of microstation to V7 of microstation ???.I have added a writer from V8 (A map that contains all the elements in V8) , and I have added a output in V7 , but I see that , If I try to configure it by geometry , doesn't appears the names of the geometry , appears Numbers , in this case , 1 for cells , 2 for lines ... etc.The diagram executed seems to work OK , write all the features but when I open the DGN file in V7 there isn't nothing , no elements.Any idea ??? , thanks in advanced for your help !!!I leave the log of the translation ...

In my workspace I am reading from a table in SQL Server. There is a huge amount of records, so I limit the number of records to read (per feature type) to 100k for testing purposes. When the number of features read gets to about 99000, the workspace does not proceed for about 15 minutes. Is there anything I can change here?

Hi everybody ,I need to know how with a SchemaMapper and a attributefilter can I map the ouput of arcgis of a feature class in function of a level of input in Microstation V8.I will explain better , I have a Excel with this columns : igds_level 501000 lines Menu1000/ComunicacionsLin igds_level 501001 lines Menu1000/ComunicacionsLin igds_level 501000 lines Menu1000/ComunicacionsLin igds_level 501010 lines Menu1000/ComunicacionsLin igds_level 501011 lines Menu1000/ComunicacionsPunt igds_level 501010 lines Menu1000/ComunicacionsLinAnd in function of the igds_level of the input V8 of microstation I need to put the feature in one feature Class or another , in this case , for example , the feature with level 501010 must go to feature class of output of arcgis ComunicacionsLin , if I have the in the input igds_level 501011 will go this feature to feature class ARcgis ComunicacionsPunt.

I'm required to export some spatial data to AutoCAD. The incoming data exists anywhere in Australia and the exported data needs to be in one of the MGA94 zones. The client refuses the suggestion that they select one of the possible 10 projection zones to correctly reproject the data and claims FME should be able to handle this automatically.Is there a way to modify the AutoCAD writer coordinate system after the FME workspace has been launched (i.e. after I've started reading in data) so that I can correctly export to the zone that corresponds to the input data?I can see one way if I can get a transformer to replace the value in a public or private parameter. Is this possible?

I want to move an ESRI File Geodatabase (FGDB) from one folder to another. I have got the FileCopy Writer to move ...\\here\\data.gdb\\*.* to ..\\there\\data.gdb\\*.* but this leaves the now empty ..\\here\\data.gdb folder in the original location. I suspect this is because FGDBs are actually folders which is confusing for non-ESRI stuff (to the FileCopy Writer, it's just another folder). I know I could probably solve this with Python, or something involving Workspace Runners and FileCopy to nul to delete the folder after moving the contents. But I wondered if anyone knows of a way of doing this within the FileCopy Writer as part of the Move operation.Before you suggest doing ..\\here\\*.gdb, the constraint is that ..\\here\\ may contain more than one FGDB, but I only want to move one at a time. This is because I'm processing each FGDB in turn then moving it to a "processed" folder.I've also got an idea of writing the FGDB names (the na

Hican anyone halep me? I have a chanllange to solve.I have a WFS-Reader with different features (Houses, Streets, Trees). All of this feature contain a identical attribute (Commune_ID).Now I like to use the filter because I need only the data from one commune (on the Source-WFS are data from many many communes). So I give the Commune_ID as an Published Parameter to the workbench.How have I to form the XML Filter Expression that I get only the used data? But I need it from all 3 features.Thanks for your help

Hi,how can i give folders in kml a description with FME? I was only able to give a description to the document and the placemarks.In the screenshot, Number 1 is generated with ArcGis, Number 2 by FME with the missing folder description. Thanks for all help in advance!

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience connecting FME to an ArcGIS Online account that has "AD Account" permissions turned on? The AGOL Org. I am trying to reach allows government employees to log in using their PIV Card/Government Network username/password OR an ArcGIS Account. I believe this may be causing FME to fail at the authentication step. When I attempt to read data from AGOL using my ArcGIS.com username/password I am getting an error code 400 which states that it was unable to generate token and something about my username and password being incorrect.At this point I can only speculate but I'm wondering if FME is trying to use my ArcGIS.com account with the AD Account login.Anyway, I thought reach out here to see if anyone else might have any experience here. Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.~Ben Ben Butler Wildfire GIS Specialist USDA Forest Service - RMRS Wildland Fire Managem

I use a csv reader to read a csv file. Unfortunately this csv file contains line breaks in some records (CRLF). This causes a record to be split into more than one, which is undesirable.  Is there a way for the reader to ignore these linebreaks?

I'm trying to determine if a dataset, one of many, has already been processed so my workspace won't repeat that dataset but rather move on to the next dataset.  If the dataset has been done there will be file that I can test for.   If I use AttributeFileReader on an existing file it is OK but if the file doesn't exist it halts the workspace.  I can check using a PythonCaller but can't pass the result back to the workspace to use in a tester transformer.  Any help would be much appreciated, Alan
