Data

Hi, I used an AttributeFilter transformer to split attributes. I want to write each of them as a feature class in a new file geodatabase. What is the best way to do that?Thank you for your assistance.

Hello. I have a workbench that reads an XML and splits it into attributes with their values (with one spatial attribute). I am trying to write this data to an existing, empty SQL Server table. If I set the writer to create a new table, it runs fine, but I can't seem to get it to populate my existing table. The workspace runs, and passes with warnings, but when I go to my SQL Server table it is still empty. Any ideas?  My writer is configured as follows: Feature operation: Insert Table Handling: Use existing  The translation log claims that all of my features have been written, and the data inspector shows them fine, but it just won't populate my table.  Thanks! 

Hi,I want to fill the User Param Choice with data from a table in MS SQL. This works fine with the 'Import->From dataset...' option. but this function only populates data statically. Is there any way to 'hack' this to fetch data dynamically? The idea is that this Workspace should work in a App in FME Flow.  

My organization has a platform that allows users to collect spatial data. We have a forest plot survey that allows users to collect information about forest characteristics. The form is intense, with many nested layers, many-to-one relationships, and repeating sections. I have developed a workbench that reads the JSON from our organization website and ‘unpacks’ it into it’s individual tables, all with id’s to perform the necessary joins down the road. Previously I was just writing all the tables to their own sheet in an excel document, but now my managers are asking me to populate the data into their preferred format, so they have given me an excel table to show what they want the output to look like. It’s not a data friendly format. Essentially, they want all the data to populate onto a single sheet where the sheet has multiple instances of different fields names in the same column. Think like multiple tables stacked on top of each other in one sheet.  My initial idea was to write all

I am trying to create a GML file that complies to the GML simple features profile (GML-SF) (http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=42729). I already created a GML application schema that complies to the GML simple features profile. It follows the pattern described in GML-SF, 8.4.2:<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ex="urn:uuid:3c615c60-013b-4006-bf53-d0ba4fb5fc94" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="urn:uuid:3c615c60-013b-4006-bf53-d0ba4fb5fc94" version="1.0.0"> <import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2" schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/gml/3.2.1/gml.xsd"/> <element name="FeatureCollection" type="ex:FeatureCollectionType" substitutionGroup="gml:AbstractGML"/> <complexType name="FeatureCollectionType"> <complexContent> <extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType">

Hi, I’m having some problems working with the CSV Reader. I created a Reader from a CSV that has 3 fields: Address, City, and ZIP. I have ‘Case Sensitive Field Names’ and ‘Enforce Strict Schema’ set to No, but then if I modify my source CSV to have the attributes: address, city zip, and Notes, the Reader fails to read in any data.What am I doing wrong here? It seems like even though I changes some properties for the Reader, it is defaulting back to the original schema that I input when creating the Reader. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Hi,I have one script in R running in RCaller, but the RCaller show some messages like erros but no erros, my script run properly. I would like to ignore these messages and generate one feature for the next transformer. How can I do this?  Thank´s

Hello , I'm looking for an efficient way to compare the versioned SDE with the original SDE. I'd like to perform this comparison before running the compression and before posting the jobs in the database.I believe it would be time-consuming to read and compare all tables from both the versioned and original SDE. Is there a method that would allow me to read only the specific tables that have been edited in the versioned SDE?Thanks in advance FME 2021

Hello,I have posted my question in esri community but I did not get answer yet .i hope ,if someone could fix my issue  .I am inserting points into an SDE version using FME, but after creating the point, I'm unable to edit the UT Attribute Data. My company uses UT-Editor (developed from ArcMap), and typically, when I create a new point in UT-Editor, a window automatically appears to fill fields in the UT Attribute Data.some fields are necessary to fill in like Adresse and … However, since I'm inserting the points through FME, when I use the UT Attribute Data symbol to select  the point to try  fill the fields in, the window does not open. How can I resolve this issue? Is there a specific method that would allow each new point to linkage to UT-Attribute Data by FME ? or How could open the UT Attribute Data window in UT-Editor for each new point ,come from FME ?Thanks in advance . FME 2021 

Hello fellow FME enthusiasts!We've run into in issue with writing Excel files to our sharepoint. We have a workspace that output's an Excel file.We've set it up to use a template to make sure it has the same easily readable layout for our users. We store the Excel file on our sharepoint. Our sharepoint folders are available locally on the PC through One Drive. So we store them to a location like: C:\Users\[User Name]\[Sharepoint name]\[Folder name]The issue we have is that every time we do this with the Template setting active in the Excel writer we get a sync error saying there is one file in out local folder and another one online. It's easy enough to fix this manually (One Drive gives us this option). But it is a manual action. If we write to the same location without the template setting in the Excel writer all works fine.We are working with FME version 2024.0.3.0 (build 24220)Has anyone experienced this before? And found a way to fix this?

Hi there,  I have connected to a Sharepoint Excel file in my workbench. I am able to read the rows and values when inspecting the Excel.  However, when I connect the Sharepoint Excel reader into any transformer, I get the error below: Exception ignored in: <finalize object at 0x13bf76a0; dead>Traceback (most recent call last):  File "weakref.py", line 590, in __call__  File "C:\Program Files\FME\python\urllib3\connectionpool.py", line 1135, in _close_pool_connections    conn.close()  File "http\client.py", line 1020, in close  File "socket.py", line 505, in close  File "ssl.py", line 1311, in _real_close  File "socket.py", line 499, in _real_closeOSError: [WinError 10093] Either the application has not called WSAStartup, or WSAStartup failedException ignored in: <finalize object at 0x13bf7cc0; dead>Traceback (most recent call last):  File "weakref.py", line 590, in __call__  File "C:\Program Files\FME\python\urllib3\connectionpool.py", line 1135, in _close_pool_connections 

Hi All,I have been building workspaces that get data from an api and write that data to Excel, using Template files. FME Flow can’t access the location of the template file, so what I did was: Make them a published parameter and publish. Then once one Flow, I change the parameters to the Flow resources path where I uploaded the template file as well. I do this in the Workspace properties. However, this doesn’t work, when running the workspace, the log says it can’t open the Template File and still pointing to the old/local location of the template file.What would be the right workflow here?

Hi folks,I’m hoping this is relatively straightforward and I’m making this more difficult than it seems. I’m collecting images in the field and trying to store the images as blobs in a database. There can be up to 6 images for each property. In the below example only 3 images were collected. I’ve got to the point in my workspace where I’ve joined the images (as blobs) to the survey data, but I’ve got 3 features instead of one. I have a unique survey id. How do merge the data so that I have one feature, with up to 6 images stored as blobs? I’m trying and failing to use lists in the most efficient way possible; via the Aggregator then List Element Filter, then somehow bring the data back together, but this is the point I’m stuck on. Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks,Aaron

Hi,I’m trying to save a polygon as a GPX track and am running into an issue. Here’s what I’ve done so far:Converted the polygon to a line using GeometryCoercer Reprojected to EPSG:4326 Created track_id, source, and name attributesThe translation completes successfully, but when I try to open it, I only see the attributes and no geometry. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? 2024-10-29 11_22_11-Window.png

Hello  , this is my first post , and I hope  to receive an answer I have in FME an ESRI license that allows me to read from and write to an Arcsde geodatabase . I'm interested in knowing if anyone has successfully edited specific feature classes , made modifications in a workspace (such as adding data , deleting data or moving points to new positions), and then writed the output back to the the same feature classes after editing  by ArcSDE geodatabase  writer.After editing and modifying the data, I understand that in ArcMap, data typically undergoes compression, tracking which data is added and which is deleted.Is it possible to write the output directly to these compression tables ?  Is this step  necessary to do by FME ?Second question :  about writing into Relationship classes I read an  article https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407490028813-Writing-Geodatabase-Relationship-Classesthat uses an XML workspace as a template for writing to relationship classes, but I didn’t f

Hi all,As part of a development of some routines, I have created a many tab excel file where i inserted Formulae using the AttributeManager and the Cell.Formula naming convention. Due to the nature of the VLOOKUPS i used (dynamically i suppose), i could not do this calculation in FME's Arithmetic Editor.Opening the excel sheet shows the values i do want, given by the formula in the cells. However, when i now come to read this sheet in my next routine, the values are all shown as <missing>. Has anyone encountered this before or have any ideas?Thanks all, kind regards,Jack

I’ve alluded to my question on a few other posts about FeatureWriters:When FeatureWriter fails there is no output | CommunityAdd a Rejected port to FeatureWriter | CommunityBut figured I’d ask a more directed question in its own posting. I’m in a situation where I want to do some post-processing after writing data to each of my 40 feature types. I have a FeatureWriter for each feature type, in an attempt to catch and do no post-processing for feature types that fail, but continue with post-processing on feature types that write successfully. I’ve come to realize that any FeatureWriter that fails, stops the entire workspace. Setting “Rejected Feature Handling” to “Continue Translation” doesn’t apply to a failed FeatureWriter. The “Rejected port” link above is suggesting adding such a port to the FeatureWriter, which would solve my predicament, at least as I understand it, but it’s not implemented as of FME 2024.1.1, and I don’t know if there are plans to do so. I’ve also tested out sett

Hello, i have a question for a scanner. the scanner drive through our city. the scannner makes a couple of rounds per day. But i have many record with a timestamp. between the rounds there is a time diffrent say 1 hour or more. how can i crerate a round number that the scanner makes.for example the scanner start at 7.00 en ends at 10.00  (thats round 1) and then starts at 13.00 and ends at 16.00. (thats round 2) the next day is somewhat the same but the count must go on. Beste Regards Robert

I have a request to build a FME workspace that can read a text file and load it into an Oracle database with the filename with a suffix appended as the table name (ie. filename_ext).That is fine, the problem is the column headers and fields will differ, depending on the filetype (file A might have 10 columns, file B will have 17 and the column names will be different between A and B)I’ve considered using a tester that directs the flow to an attributemanager based on a “user parameter”. This becomes problematic if the source text file changes column structure or an additional file type (file C, D and E) is introduced.Is there a way for the text file to be read (as generic in the featurereader), have the attributes exposed, split and output with the 1st row as the column headers. Ideally without having to know the column names prior.Thanks Thomas

I have a dataset that has customer data, vehicle data, planned driving distance (with a bunch of other scrubbed attributes).  In this data, there are many days when a customer was not planned to have accumulated any distance but did use a machine.  If the planned driving distance to date is missing, I want to copy the value for the previous planned_Driving_dist_to_date that has a value, but I want this sorted by date and grouped by customer and machine.   The attached spreadsheet shows my dataset. 

Hi,I'm using the Raster Mosaicker to create a mosaic with overlapping images. However, the final result generates 'shadows' as shown in the image below. What is the best configuration or additional transformer I can use to solve this problem?Thank you 

When writing to Geotiff I would like Band interleaved by Pixel (BIP, interleaved RGBRGB) rather than Band Sequential (BSQ, per channel RRGGBB) interleaving but whichever option I use, the Geotiff always saves using Band Sequential interleaving.I have checked using Photoshop and also GDALinfo and both agree that INTERLEAVE=BAND rather than PIXEL. Is this a bug/can anyone else replicate this?
