Can FME create a pg database tables with attribute names that have upper cases?

Can FME create a pg database tables with attribute names that have upper cases? I know that this is possible in postgres - column names are case-sensitive when double-quoted. But no matter which parameters of PostgreSQL writer I select (standard/dynamic writing, with checked or unchecked option to Lowe Case Attribute Names in Table Creation Parameter), FME keeps replacing double-quotes with underscores and output is always folded to lowercase. Is it something that can be bypassed?

AGOL Feature Writer - FME2020.2.3 - Feature Service parameter via attribute

Hi I am setting up a job to update data in AGOL using FME Desktop 2020.2.3 I am aiming to have a single job which I will publish to our FME Server to refresh the data on schedule. I have multiple Feature Services to update and am hoping to use a single Feature Writer to update them. In my workspace I generate the Service ID and am passing through to the Feature Writer Feature Service constraint parameter. This works successfully when the Feature Writer only updates a single Feature Service however when I try multiple it cannot find the Feature Service, it seems to still connect to the first. The log shows that it maintains a connection to the first Feature Service and does not switch to the second. Are there any issues with this methodology? Suggestions for alternatives? Thanks

Hello!I have a newly installed PostgreSQL database with a PostGIS extension enabled. Because of licencing consideration we want to migrate our oracle database to this database. We are using database side bussiness logic in our views, so i want to write directly to the views without success.We have Postgresql 12 AND postgresql 16 for compatibility testingEvery version of FME from 2018-2023 (mainly using 2018 because we have too many scripts to migrate all) I have tried most of the version combination with the same error every time.

AGOL attachments - what are you doing with the attachments after you've read them?

I've seen lots of people over the community asking how to read AGOL attachments, but I'm curious to find out what FME users are doing with them once they've been read using FME.

Access denied when fanning out many folder based dataset

I have a long workflow that transforms some DWG (for buildings), GeoTIFF (for terrain) and FBX (for trees) in 3D datasets (IFC, OBJ, FBX, glTF). The whole process takes a bit more than a day because it's on a quite huge input dataset. The output is fanned out based on a 500m x 500m grid.When I was testing my workflow on a smaller dataset, it worked fine on the four different file formats. Now that I tested it on a bigger dataset, it only works on the file based datasets (IFC and OBJ). The workflow is still able to write the first part (terrain) in the folder based datasets (FBX and glTF), but as soon as it starts writing the buildings in the all ready created fanned out folders, I get an Access Denied (that I didn't get when I was working on smaller datasets).Does anybody have any idea why ?

ESRI File Geodatabase Open API Read Only Error across Server/Network

Hi all, Something very strange happening just wondering if anyone has had the same issue. I have a process that both reads and writes ESRI Geodatabases. In recent weeks I have noticed that every time I try and read in a geodatabase I get an error "Workspace or Data Source is Read-Only". I have checked my permissions, I have checked I am the only user accessing and all is fine, and the error disappears if I copy the gdb locally - this error only occurs when reading across my work network between servers - but I 100% have the correct permissions for the task. To add to the complexity, the error only happens about 90% of the time but on the odd occasion all works as intended. Anyone any bright ideas? Cheers,Jack

Hi, I have a couple of queries, I will try my best to elaborate. I am transforming to DGN cell to CityGML.1) How do i ensure, that exterior rings are counter-clockwise, and interior rings are clockwise? I am using the Orientor Transformer, and setting Let-Hand-Rule, however, on surfaces, i still see (from using Inspector against the CityGML) that the polygon is right-hand rule.2) When viewing the resultant CityGML in Inspector, it is showing the wall surfaces rather strange..... some are rendered as exterior (solid) representation, some have the interior (dashed) representation.Does it matter that FME represents it in this way? or does it actually mean something? is it related to point1? These are shown as right hand rule (i want left hand rule).Thanks,Steve

GeometryValiator and OGC Standartd

Hi, I need help and guidance. I have 2 questions. 1st. I've been using the GeometryValidator transformer and selected the OGC standard checks. When I run it, all my geometry fails. How can I check what is failing and how to fix it? If possible, please provide an example of how to fix it. 2nd. I've read the OGC Geopackage standard and found that there are some tables that need to be included in the Geopackage file, such as gpkg_spatial_ref_sys and gpkg_contents Table. Is there an automatic way in FME to create these tables, or do I need to do it manually? Hereby, I am attaching the file for your reference, tqvm all.

Is it possible to read DGN surfaces/smart solids in FME Desktop?

Is it possible to read those geometrytypes? We really need them ;-)Added this message are pictures of the same file showed in MicroStation and in FME Desktop. Also added is the DGN file.
