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

Hi,I have FTP Link, User, and PasswordHow Can I download a file using FTPCaller?Thank you for your assistance  

I am using Survey123 that generates a feature point at a default location. Every new point contains the name of the Road and from to information for the line segment. I am wondering whether there is a way to auto move that point right on top of the line segment using the Road Name information.Is there any functionality in FME that would allow me to move those points?

Hello,  What is the best way to extract metadata from a shapefile? This would include Title, Tags, Summary, Description, Credits, Field Names, and Summaries. I want to export the metadata to an Excel spreadsheet.I am looking for some ideas on what transformers to use. 

Hi,My goal is to read multiple (unknown) Hosted Feature Layers (HFLs) from an AGOL group and write those to ArcGIS Enterprise (11.3). I can successfully specify a single HFL in my FeatureReader and using an Automated schema in my FeatureWriter, specify each individual layer and write it to Enterprise. As I need this to work for multiple HFLs, most with multiple layers, I need to use a dynamic schema in my FeatureWriter. As soon as I do this, my workbench fails. Every time I switch to a dynamic writer, using the fme_feature_type as layer name and schema from schema feature, the workbench fails due to these errors:Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::ExceptionPython Exception <KeyError>: 'My_HFL_Name'ARCGISPORTALFEATURES writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details I’ve tried everything I can think of to get this working and cannot understand what I’m possibly doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My workbench (so complex...) AGOL HFL FeatureRea

 Bonjour,je veux d’automatiser le téléchargement et la mise à jour des données accessibles via les plateformes de diffusion de données géographiques (IGN : BDTOPO, BDCARTO, etc., OSM, DREAL…).Actuellement, je travaille sur la partie automatisation du téléchargement dans FME, qui consiste à moissonner ces données. J’ai déjà fait quelques avancées, mais je sollicite votre aide sur des conseils; liens utiles  ou des pistes afin d’approfondir mes travaux..En vous remerciant d’avance.

Hello!I generated a CityGML building model from an fbx model. The model could be opened in FZKViewer but the view is very strange. I could see the textures in the back when I am on the front view. It is like the surface in front of me becomes a very transparent glass.This happens at all of the sides of the model except the roof and ground surface. When I turn off the texture, everything is back to normal. Is it the problem of the texture? How could I check if it is on the texture and how could it be fixed? 

I’m trying to output all property sets from IFC files into separate Excel sheets. So far I’ve found all of the property sets, their attributes and their attribute values. This is my data:What I would like to do is transpose this list into separate lists for each property set like so: After that I could simply write each list to separate Excel sheets, but this is where I get stuck. I create the sheets by feeding the writer from a DuplicateFilter, but how do I join each PsetAttribute to Pset as well as transpose the data so each PsetAttribute is a single column?I need to do it without knowing the exact names or number of property sets existing in each IFC file as well.

Host Revit file has 137 linked files.  When I try to read even a small portion of these I get the error.Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'REVITNATIVE' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See logfile for more information.I’m using a FeatureReader linked to the Metadata.LinkedInformation output of the host Revit file (first strcating the LinkedFilePath and Name attributes).  I get this error even when I limit the input to one record.  Separately, a FeatureReader (along with Creator to initiate) can read one of these files. I saw a similar post where the answer was to change the FME_Temp folder.  I don’t think this will make a difference since I get the error when only trying one file.  I would try this but I need admin rights to set this up on my computer and I won’t be able to get that until next week.  Also, I would rather know for sure before I ask. Thanks in advance. 

Is there a way to join two tables using the between operator (SQL). I know I can use SQLCreator but I would like to do this join directly in workbench. sql example: TABLE1.*,TABLE2.*FROM TABLE1LEFT JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.NAME = TABLE2.NAME AND TABLE1.DATE BETWEEN TABLE2.FROM AND TABLE2.TO

I have a database NAME1.If I open them as Oracle Non-Spatial I can access the following tablesNAME1.AANAME1.BBNAME1.CCNAME1.DDNAME1.EEIf I open them as Oracle Spatial I can access the following tablesNAME1.CCNAME1.DD The database contains more than 50 tables. They must be transferred to POSTGIS database with a different schema name: name2I have already looked up some things in the community. But those are old posts and some transformers don't even exist. What is the best way to approach this? in short:Oracle NonSpatial tables and Spatial tables from 1 database to POSTGIS database with a different schema name. Who can help me and or has an example? Thanks in advance

Before the web presentation of Safe and FME changed to what they are now It was possible to find the zipped FMEData. Data that are pointed at in almost every exercise in the FME Academy, community postings and videos.The new FME page does not provide the “knowledge” structure anymore as before and all links in the community etc. are pointing straight into Nirvana.I can see that these resource now can be found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/FMEData, however, I cannot get a listing of the content of this bucket and I always end up with a 403. Without a listing it is impossible to guess the specific file I am interested in…Can somebody point me to an URL where I can get the latest version of the FMEData?

The IFC data was exported using ArcGIS Pro. After importing it into FME Data Inspector, the following errors occurred:ISO10303-21: Skipping instance #50: Instance  is not syntactically valid An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details Failed to specify the feature index as constraints on the reader  Could anyone please help with this? Thank you!

When trying to read an IFC file, I am getting an error ISO10303-21: Skipping instance #1154: Instance is not syntactically valid. How can this be fixed?
