Data

I have a json object that contains nested arrays, a simplified example is:{   "Attr1" : [{      "Attr2" : [{         "Attr3" : "A"  }         ]       }, {      "Attr2" : [{  "Attr3" : "B"  }, {  "Attr3" : "C"  } ]       }, {      "Attr2" : [{         "Attr3" : "D"  }, {  "Attr3" : "E"  }, {  "Attr3" : "F"  } ]       }      ]}I would like to extract just attr3, either as a (complex) list, or a valid json ex. [{"Attr3":"A"},{"Attr3":"B"},{"Attr3":"C"},{"Attr3":"D"},{"Attr3":"E"},{"Attr3":"F"}]  If I use the JSONExtractor with json["Attr1"][*]["Attr2"][*]I get {"Attr3":"A"}{"Attr3":"B"}{"Attr3":"C"}{"Attr3":"D"}{"Attr3":"E"}{"Attr3":"F"}'without commas between elments.  The JSONFlattener with recursion does work, but the actual json has a couple of hundre

Hi,I have dgn files will features having unique number for each graphic group. I want them to convert them to graphic cells (CTRL+G in Microstation)Is it possible with FME?Pratap

Basically converting an ESRI polygon Shapefile or FeatureClass from spatial to non-spatial in a format ready for Tableau (i.e tabular like excel or CSV). Have researched and tested some possibilities but would think there are some quick start workspaces available from Tableau and FME users.Have some ideas that successfully converted polygon vertices to points (helpful VertexCounter)Other transformers helpful are DonutHoldExtractor, 2DForcer, Counter, Generalizer?, CoordinateExtractor - just hoping something already exists.

Creating PDF file from a .mdb access database

I want to make polygon (trapezoid) from each line segment that has information about trapezoid width at start and at the end.Is it possible with FME?

Is it possible to convert Access .mdb to .xml format

I want to use a UserParameter to define the OutPutFile, here a FileGeoDatebase.The Path and Filename generated generically in the Workbench.To make the Attribut to a Parameter is using a AttributCreator.The ParameterType ist testing with Text, Folder (Output), Filename (Output).No success

I'm new to FME.I've created a workspace that reads one Microstation V8 (dgn) file, and several shapefiles. It reads all features from the .dgn as well as all features from the shapefiles and outputs them into two new .dgn files. The first output file contains all features read, while the second one only contains the features from the shapefiles and not the features from the .dgn.Now, I actually need this to run on a whole bunch of datasets, so I exposed all of the input files as parameters and run it from a batch file. The default value of all the parameters is the files for the test dataset I was using. When I run the the workspace on the test dataset either in FME Workbench, or on the command line, everything works perfectly. When I run it on any other dataset, none of the features from the shapefiles is written to the output .dgn files. FME reports warnings, but the translation is always successful.I've attached the workspace file, as

Hi,I have used a dgn file with "Expand Names cells" as "Yes". I want to make cells again as it is before...Is it not possible to make the cell again without cel library?BTW, I have used aggregator with igds_type=igds_cell but it output is coming as same lines.Pratap

I have an excel spreadsheet with years of maintenance data (2006-2015). I need to join that to our current pavement database, but in order. So if something was done to a road in 2007, and again in 2014, I need it to join the 2014 data (over write the 2007 data). Not sure if this matters, but not everything will match from the spreadsheet to the existing database (many fewer records in the excel sheet as we do not do something to every road every year). I've tried joiner, but no luck. In the parameters you can select all of the spreadsheets to read, but in the join section, you can only pick one year? Doesn't make sense to me.

I have been successfully using the GoogleGeocoder transformer (https://store.safe.com/transformers/googlegeocoder... to obtain coordinates based on addresses and intersection input for some time. (Thanks for that, by the way!) However, I am now being asked to generate intersection and address information based on X/Y's. Is there such an animal out there that already exists? Any thoughts on amount of effort to modify the GoogleGeocoder to provide that functionality?Thanks,Adam

Hello!When I create a ArcGIS Online writer and want to add a GlobalID as an attribute, the type to choose is esriFieldTypeGlobalID but FME doesn't offer me this choice.In the log I can see this message : "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Attribute 'GlobalID' on feature type 'Frenes' has type 'esriFieldTypeOID', but the type on the server is 'esriFieldTypeGlobalID'"I think FME should add this field type.Thanks!

Vendor sent lots of data ~11.2 GB of ECW files (8 files),I have a shape file for clipping the ECW, and I have been unsuccessful, i have done lots of research to determine if this is even possible, as clipping an ECW will always still have the "Black" and white areas that are part of the image seen below,I have converted to other formats (png, jp2, geotiff) and attempted to clip in FME and ESRi, but still no progress (esri crashes, and FME wont clip areas I need clipped),My fme process consists of and this file is pretty standard for basic clips, unfortunately I can't provide the ECW file due to restrictions, but any suggestions would be helpful, as I have searched for all the previous ones,Thanks,Doug

I have a spreadsheet which I need to load into Oracle on a regular basis. The user has colour coded some cells and I need to import this fill colour as well as the cells textI don't see any way to do this but hope to be proven wrong

I publish a service on FME server and when I run workspace as job using admin user it works good but when I call web service using guest user, it gives me the following error

For a client we are working on a large fme workbench which has to insert data in multiple oracle tables which are related with several foreign keys.In earlier versions we got a lot of 'parent key not found' errors while running, so we put writing of parent tables in separate writers so they would be executed first, and that would solve that problem.The problem now is that the system also has Oracle Rule Framework to guard several business rules on the database. Rule Framework will test these rules on every commit to check if all rules are met, if not it will rollback everything.This leaves us with a problem since our separate writers will each commit when finished and than our rules are not all met and everything will be rollbacked. So to comply with the rules all feature types should be written by only one writer and be committed only ones. But than we have the first problem with our foreign keys again.Removing the foreign keys, even temporary, i

In the FME 2013SP1 documentation on the Microsoft Access Reader/Writer, there is language that states:Please note that databases associated with a Microsoft Access workgroup are not supported.http://docs.safe.com/fme/2013sp1/pdf/reader_writer_pdf/mdb_ado.pdf, page 3I want to assume that this is still unsupported functionality in FME 2014+. We're trying to use a database with a workgroup file, and we can't get into the provider to change the user name.Is this still unsupported? Has anyone here ever successfully connected to an MDB with a workgroup file in FME 2014+?

Hi,I have successfully exported tags to a Microstation V8 DGN file using FME 2015 Desktop software.However when I open the DGN file in Microstation and turn the tag display on using the "Edit Tags" tool, the tags are displaying about 300km away from the actual data.Can anyone explain why this is happening? Could it be a setting in the DGNWriter or something to do with the Seed file?Thanks, 

Hi, I have a list of HTML files that contain tables and I want to convert those files to XML format.I tried using a text file reader with HTMLToXHTMLConverter and XML writer. I also attempted HTMLToXHTMLConverter with creator and XML writer but didn't get the desired o/p. Is there some other way out for it? Or I am using different parameters?

My minecraft output looks like it's all one height and one colour, comparing it to the BowenIsland output, it should have multiple colours for multiple blocks and heights of trees, etc apparent. Where is my model going wrong? I used the FMW workspace and data as obtained from https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1064/how-to-ma... and replaced the inputs with my prepared shapefiles and DEM. It should be seemless.

Using a JSONFormatter (pretty) and JSON Writer in series, the output file contains literally the characters \\r\\n with no actual line returns. Snippet of the output:"_formatted":"{\\r\\n \\"request\\" : [\\r\\n {\\r\\n \\"addDate\\" : \\"/Date(1449794160000-0600)/\\",......Connecting an Inspector to the to the formatter works as expected.I should mention that I am using the 2016.1 Beta version (for the Elasticsearch goodness it contains.)
