Data

I am using a Python Caller to create new features based on counts from a REST Endpoint.  I want to verify the output in Data Inspector, everything acts normally until I click on the record in the table (there is not geometry)When I click on the record, the Data Inspector immediately hangs then crashes and closes.I am using FME(R) 2023.1.0.0 (20230825 - Build 23619 - WIN64)

GML2IFC translation/conversion warnings I created a very simple model where I added a GML reader and I want to transform it to IFC.When I run it, numbers appeared on the connectors. These numbers match with the number of features per feature type. I would assume that the transformation was made, although a couple of warnings appeared during the run of the model (see second image) Nevertheless, when I look for the transformed files, there is nothing on the folder. When I try to inspect the resulting data using the eye, a windows pops up asking for information that was set when i first set the "writers/translator" (see third image) and when I look for the data, nothing was done. I checked about these “warnings” among the FME community, and between not-updated information and broken links, there was nothing there that could help me to find out the reason or meaning or ground for this issue.I have also checked in https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407793929229-GML-Writing  and he

I have an .fmw that reads a series of SQL Server views then writes the returned values to a templated Excel spreadsheet and it worked while using our DEV SQL server (A). When I replace the existing database connection to verify it works on our Production SQL Server(B) the value in one cell is missing in the Excel spreadsheet. I get 0 errors, 0 warnings using (A) or (B) connection. All the remaining view results are there and correct. Verified that the SQL VIEWS exist on both servers and refreshed both just in case-same results. I can select the views via SSMS and get the correct data on (A) and (B). I tried deleting the one failed writer and re-adding it: same results.I tried deleting the reader supplying the view information and re-adding it: same results.Thoughts?

Hi, I have a process that im unable to get working and wold like advice on the processesI have a dataset containing a number of records, each with a user and their email address. There are multiple records for each user,The requirement is to identify each unique user in the data and send them an email detailing all the records relating to them. The users could change each time the process is run so i havent set any filters with their names.My thoughts were to create a loop to go through a list of users, filtering their records out and sending the email before moving onto the next name on the list.This would keep going round until there are no names left in the list.I have used the statistic calculator to identify the users and have used the HTML report generator and emailer for the the end of the process but would like some help explaining how the loop should be set up (if this is the best way to do it) and how i can move to the next person in the list each time. Thanks

I have and CSV address data file. There are address number ranges that I could expand it with the help of bruttino. Using Cloner and attribute manager transformers.I need to do another clone and need your assistance.I also have 2 fileds: “Street Address Number Suffix From Code” and “Street Address Number Suffix To Code”. For example, from A to D  I need to copy based on the number of suffix between From and To, then replace the current suffix. like A, B, C, and D for this example. I also have 2 fields: “Suite from Number” and “Suite To Number”, which are combination of number and letter. For example from 2A to 2D.I need to get a result like 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D.Do you have any idea how to handle these fields?  I really appreciate your assistance.

The preview highlights the letters Op but the Regex only replaces the quotes (as expected): Result:‘Op. test ’ will become _Op. test _

Hi  I have a shapefile representing image footprints with as attribute the image name.I have a shapefile containing multiple polygons with an attribute ‘name’ representing buffered lines. I have a workbench that selects all the image footprints per line and copies the images to a folder, fanned out with the line name. It does that perfectly, but some images exist in multiple lines and my wb only copies the image to the first line and doesn’t copy it to the other lines. How can I solve that?          

Hello,I installed FME 2022.1.1 on my laptop and installed the Oracle client (11_2) but even after several reboots I cannot select any Oracle Database as reader. They are all greyed out. When I open a workbench that contains Oracle it says something about missing dependencies: ‘Oracle Non-Spatial’,Oracle Spatial Object’. When I want to run it, it fails and gives the error: ORACLE Home is not set.  Does anyone has a hint how to fix that?

I need help performing bulk feature service updates using FME.I would like to do what this blog post is doing, under the section "Updating AND Deleting Database Records with FME" but I can't recreate the steps with a feature service in Portal since there is no Row Selection option in these writers. The blog has steps to write to another geodatabase.Essentially, I need to update floorplans data by deleting the old version of the floor plan in the feature service and replacing it with the new floorplan data.The updated floorplans data exist in a geodatabase and it is used to update a feature service in Portal via ArcGIS Pro.Right now, I manually select all the floors that match the LevelID (unique ID we use for each floor in a building) in the update layers.Then, I delete all the features that match and insert the new features into the feature service, using the field mapper to populate necessary attributes.Any advice or help is appreciated. Thanks.

Using FME Form 2024.0 and DGN v8Hello All,I have a DGN file with an OLE Embedded Excel Object. I am able to locate the element that represents the OLE object and can return all the typical IGDS information about the element itself, size, layer, model its in etc. What I would really like to do is investigate tabs, rows and columns content within that embedded Excel. Does anyone know if there is a way for FME to read an embedded Excel object from a DGN  file? 

HiI would like to add a raster to a DWG and have the path to this external reference set as a proper relative path.When you write a raster to a DWG file, the AutoCAD writer automatically writes a PNG in the folder of your output DWG.If you keep this PNG file next to your DWG, it will always open. However, if you insert this drawing in a new drawing, the link to the image breaks.This is caused by the path of the external reference (raster) that is not properly set a relative path.If we look at the created path from FME in Autocad, we see this:If you change the path type to relative in autocadThen the saved path changes to: I have tried to copy this in FME, but no effect:​​​​Any ideas?Jasper

I have created over 200plus parameter fields and the alignment is off but can’t edit them. Not sure how to do this. I’m new to FME Workbenches and can’t see a way to update this. I’m using the CAT so that these fields can be ran into ArcGIS Pro. I have a huge workbench and not sure what to do next. I would love any help.

Hi,I want to clip a point cloud with a 3D Object (Box). The 3D Object has z values and should overlap the point clouds. Now when I am using the Clipper, I recognize, that the point cloud is not overlapping the 3D box, because it is not using the z values. How can I proceed in this case, that both have the same elevation and that the clipping is working?Point Cloud on the correct elevation of 280m. 3D Object at the ground (not using its z-CoordinatesThanks in advance

I have address data in CSV format. there are address number ranges, street address from number and street address to number, and sequence code (1 for odd, 2 for even, and 3 for consecutive).I need to expand these ranges into individual addresses based on sequence code and write them in a new CSV.Any guidance for doing this task in FME would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi  I have a workbench that I use for making ortho photo’s. I’m using this same workbench for over 4years now and since last week I’m getting always the same error. It’s says: jpeg2000 writer: Could not perform compression. I don’t know how to solve this, as it has worked always before… I installed the lastest FME form yesterday. I get the same error.   I don’t know for sure, but one time I looked at the edit header option under tools to solve something, but I don’t think I changed anything. Could that result in this error? 

I have a lot of SDE connection files that I would like to create named connections for in FME Form 2024.I would like if possible to automate this by creating an xml file to import.  I can use the Directory and File Pathnames Reader to get the path and the name for each sde connection file, so I am thinking I could use FME Form  to  create a xml file with all the entries I need and import that into the fme_userconnection.data filer whiteout having to do this manually one by one.I do not need to specify anything special in the connections,  version, credentials etc. can all be defaulted, so the 2 values I need are the path and name, which I can get.  I tried making a single conn and then exporting to see the xml format, but al the values are encrypted. Is there any kind of xml template or example xml I could use to see how to do this ?

Hi All, First of all, thank you for taking your time to read this post.FME Desktop 2022.2Objective: Using the Feature Reader I’m trying to dynamically have a user input an existing sde table name (so the user is prompted to insert the table name that already exists), then I have a reprojector followed by the FeatureWriter to Drop and Create the table in a new projection.

I have a feature class with cycling and walking routes (with ID and Name) and a feature class with the starting points of the (circular) routes. I want to write all the routes in the feature class to separate gpx-files. Each gpx-file should have the name of the route in its filename.I tried with the ‘fanout’ option in the writer, but the resulting files are no gpx-files and are very small (1kB), so without content I guess. Any advise? 

I try to read a dgn file using FME and have some special results. The data is in epsg:28992 (Netherlands RD new) which is in meters. But it reads lines with the following coordinates:189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.224907750701906 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304 189492.31740355192, 348069.1195426307, 28.22490763540268 189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.22490775070190The second coordinate seems to be very far off and not correct. I am able to delete the points from the lines which are that far off, but I wonder if anyone knows this as a bug, a feature or a setting?Thanks for looking,Niels
