Other than manually specifying coordinates to define a GDB reader's bounding box within workbench, is there a way to use (for example) a polygon to define the bounding box prior to reading so that a workspace can do this automatically and dynamically? I have project areas all across Christchurch, NZ and being able to do this would be very helpful in only reading in select portions of a massive city-wide dataset.Thanks,Chris

how to transform osm shapefiles to 3d cityGML or CAD files

CAT reader works well based on field properties and field boundaries set in Parameters window.I'm facing the following issue:1. I re-access the Parameters (Update Feature Types) and change the field boundaries (e.g. adding new fields with the ruler).2. After Update Feature Types the Feature Type properties / User Attributes (Name, Type, width) are according the changed parameters.3. When running the workspace (no transformers are added, only an Inspector is connected to the reader) , the new fields are shown in the table view of the inspector but without content. Furthermore the content is placed in the fields as before.Does updating CAT feature types need additional parameters I'm not aware of? Or is it a bug(I tried FME 2015.0 and FME 2016 Beta)Thanks for any hintKlaus

I have a workspace the writes to an excel file based off an excel template. The template has all of the rows set to filtered. How can I get the final output to include the filtered rows so I don't have to apply the filter every time I open the generated workbook?

Hi guys,I have a DWG file containing cadastre information. The entities are lines, polylines and arcs. I want to convert this file to a SQL Server spatial table. Before doing that, I inspected the file, and without doing any transformation, some arcs are being offset.Look at the example:In autocadIn FME Inspector:As you can see, there is a gap between line and arc edges. The DWG has no problem in Autocad, but many offsets like that in FME Inspector, without any transformation. The problem only seems to affect arcs.I am using FME Desktop 2015.1. Thank you,Maxime

Related to writing 3D PDF:FME2014 – 32 bits: Option to «reorient 2D features for visibility»?FME2015 -64 BITS : No option to «reorient 2D features for visibility»?From the documentation I see:To maintain backwards compatibility:- Workspaces generated with 64-bit FME 2015+ use the PRC file format.- Workspaces generated before FME 2015, running 32-bit FME 2015 or later, will use the U3D file format.Is it not possible to use «reorient 2D features for visibility»? anymore?

I try to write multiple Raster images to a single PostGis table. Writing the records sequentially is working as designed.But I am using FME Cloud and want to write records parallel using multiple engines. The first record is written, but seems to lock the table. Therefor all other processes fail.How can I avoid the table lock in PostGis?Any suggestions?

Hi,I'm reading many LAS files in a workbench (FME 2015.1.2.1, 64 bits) and I don't undestand why I have this line in my log file for each of my LAS file:PointCloudThinner: Thinning point cloud from 2366939 point(s) to 50000 point(s)I don't use any pointcloudthinner in my workbench but it runs like if FME automatically reduce the number of point of my LAS file. If this is true, how can I control the parameter of that thinner?Thank youJulien

Hello everyone! I have an autocad file that contains anonymous blocks. I would like to be able to read them from FME 2013, meaning see autocad_block_name.  In autocad, by going to quickselect, I see various block's name like: *U248, etc and I see on which layer these anonymous blocks are. In FME, I have to use schema reader to find the same layer, but I have no informations of the anonymous block's name.  Can anyone help me?

I have a publication in FME Server that monitors a directory and sends a message to a topic when the contents of the directory change - for example, when a file gets updated. When I start the monitor for the topic in FME Server, I get this JSON output:Total: 1 Shown: 1 Test_DirWatch_Topic arrived at 7:40:03 { "ws_topic": "Test_DirWatch_Topic", "dirwatch_publisher_path": "C:\\\\ProgramData\\\\Safe Software\\\\FME Server\\\\Data\\\\xls\\\\New Text Document.txt", "dirwatch_publisher_content": "ENTRY_MODIFY C:\\\\ProgramData\\\\Safe Software\\\\FME Server\\\\Data\\\\xls\\\\New Text Document.txt", "dirwatch_publisher_action": "MODIFY", "fns_type": "dirwatch_publisher" }I also have am FME script that subscribes to the topic and takes action when the topic receives the JSON above. However, I only want the script to take action if the directory change is a &quot

I am migrating ESRI shape file data to Smalword4.0 using FME. In migration process RWO objects migrated successfully. i am unable to migrate "Join Records"(Assets and Phases) and relation maintenance between tables. I need clear procedure to migrate join Records migration with relation maintenance.

So I am trying to read from a database and then take only the data I need and create and write to a file geodatabase. When I try the file geodatabase api writer all I have to select a .gdb file. Is it possible to just create it as well in FME so I can just tell FME to save to a certain folder where I want these GBD files at.

I'm having a simple script, which renames some exported attributes, then fetches the primary key sequence number using SQLExecutor and writes the result to an Oracle Database, but it seems that something gets done to the geometry during the process.I can inspect the translation result just fine, but when I attach the translation result to the Oracle Spatial Relational Writer, on translation every geometry gets inserted with an error (the column value is null): Bad geometry detected in the following feature; Geometry could not be encoded for Oracle.When I'm not using the SQLExecutor to fetch the primary key sequence, the script works just fine. Do I need to check something else to make FME leave the initiator geometry alone? Is this a bug?

When I use the KMLStyler and specify an icon image it invariably creates an "images" folder in the KMZ output. However, I want the folder name to be "files" which is what Google Earth uses. Is there a setting to force the writer to write a "files" folder? @jimo

Hello,I'm having a problem running a workspace in my FME Server.When I run the workspace from my computer at the FME Client it works fine. But whe I try to run it from the server (another computer) I get an error file that it could not find my TNSNAMES file. Where does the server look for this file? Can I changed it manually?Thank you for your time,Kitty

Hello,  I am pretty new to FME and transforming an ESRI GDB to KMZ for visualization purposes. I have a point file with ~10 different categories and I am using a KMLStyler to set the point's icon conditionally, ie campgrounds get one icon, beaches get another.  I was wanting to use the icons/gme/ icons (example gme/gx_campground icon for campgrounds), but after my workbench runs I  have the message: "KML: Cannot find the referenced icon: `'. Setting the icon href anyways" The expected ouput icon in Google Earth is replaced with a small X. To me it sounds as if FME does not have the icons it thought it did, or is unable to set them for some unknown reason. Does anyone have anyadvice?  Thanks  

Hello I am brand new FME this week and am intrigued by it's non spatial data integration possibilities. I have a variety of csv files to process. I know explicitly how the header of each file is setup so would like to be able to test for certain conditions i.e. 1st two rows blank and (row 3 column 1 = 'Datetime') is Filetype A if successful this will go forward to relevant workspace runner for that filetype so I can do the required processing. Is it possible to test the structure of CSV before determining how to process it? Thanks and kind regards

Hi,  After the translation failed message, I come to know whether source data is not as per the writer i.e. 12kV in source (present as type text) but writer accepts only 12 since it is integer...   Is there a way to check this type errors before, such that I can disable the writer and run the check. I will switch ON the writers when the data is correct.  Pratap
