Data

Hi! I have a problem with a transformation from an ArcSDE-database to a SQLite-database. When I go from the ArcSDE-database to shapefiles it is about 10 times faster compared to if I go to the SQLite-database. I have WRITER MODE: INSERT and I want to overwrite the database. I am using FME2013 Esri edition.

Hi All, I created a Workbench reading a set of DGN Files, set with a publisehd parameter. The parameter was created by right-clicking on the input field for the DGN files. For some reason, it has no type, and I can't pick another one. So far, so good. I try to run this Workbench within a WorkspaceRunner, where I concatenate the filepaths, separated by a comma: D:\\MyDocuments\\National_Map\\Data\\LIM\\lim.dgn,D:\\MyDocuments\\National_Map\\Data\\LIM\\extra_dgn\\5_industrie.dgn The WorkspaceRunner returns following error: IGDS Reader could not open file D:\\MyDocuments\\National_Map\\Data\\LIM\\lim.dgn,D:\\MyDocuments\\National_Map\\Data\\LIM\\extra_dgn\\5_industrie.dgn for input Program Terminating Translation FAILED. However, when I copy-paste the string with the paths to the respective Workbench, it runs smoothly. So, the paths are correct, but I have the impression that the comma is not applied as separator when it is received from the WorkspaceRunner. Any ideas what I've missed her

Hi All, I have hit a wall, I cannot get FME to save the input's filename as the output’s filename. Input is: 291000-6996000_1m_DEM.xyz output is Raster feature class inside a ESRI geodatabase. I’m trying to get output’s Raster feature class name same as the input (note output filename can’t start with a number). I can change the original .xyz filenames to add a c in front, for example (if required). Also this all needs to go into 1 geodatabase as I have hundreds of large .xyz files. I managed to get the batch to work but it saved multiple geodatabases with the inputs name and with 1 raster inside each, all with the same name. In the workbench all I have is Reader, RasterDEMGenerator, Writer [GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET] Cheers

The excel sheet has the address with the St Num and Street Name are in 2 seperate colums. How do I translate this in fme to kml

Hi All, I have an ESRI SDE and a Geodatabase with polygons points and tables. Adding a reader with Merge Feature Type ticked seems to only allow "geodb_polygon" geometries. Seemingly no chance to add points or tables. Can I have multi Allowed Geometries and a Merged feature Type?

To automated the running of my workspaces I have installed the FME Server. Basicly the purpose of the jobs is migrate smallworld to a newer smallworld version. However every time running through the FME Server, the message bellow appears: Failure This FME edition does not recognize the `SPATIALBIZ' reader. Please ensure that the current platform supports this reader, the reader name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins I can't understand why once my FME Desktop is licensed for SBS plugin correctely and ran the workspace manually with out any problem. There is some thing to do on FME Server directory? (As test, based on this articlehttp://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Installing-a-SpatialBiz-Smallworld-reader-writer-floating-license, I have copied the sbs.lic file and pasted into C:\\apps\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\licenses directory, however the error persists). Could some one help me?

I would like the FME server to send me back a URL. I am trying to setup data sharing with a webmap, the system is processing features and reading coordinates but at the end a URL is not sent back. Any ideas or help would be useful.

Hi, I'm wondering how you "ESRI folks" represent an FME list attribute when you write to ESRI Geodatabase (preferably using the API without checking out an ArcObjects license) ? Also, same question goes for the SHAPE format?

I'm running a Shape2Shape translation on FME Desktop win64 2013 sp3, and one of the three output datasets the options for "Inspect" and "Open Containing Folder" are greyed out. I can open the datasets in Inspect outside FME with no problems and the other two datasets I built in the workspace are accessibe. It doesn't really affect my process but I am just curious to see if anyone know why this might happen.

I have a source file with 800 000+ features all of which have unique ID’s. I have a list of 600 features that I need to isolate from my Source. Because it is so many features I was wondering what the steps would be and what transformer to use if I simply want to copy the 600 feature’s IDs to a text file/ different source file, and have a relevant transformer look at the values in the text file and extract the correct features from my Source. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to create a batch file to run some workspace where migrate data from smallworld to a newer one version. Anyone knows how do I set the reader and the writer and parameters like server, service and alternative? Note: I am using the plugin SBS for this migration. Thanks in Advance

Getting a slight projection shift when performing this conversion operation. Just a straight reformatting conversion, and is not displaying correctly in PLSCAD... ECW in... 2208900.00 16581180.00 JP2 out... 2208900.13 16581179.86 Thoughts? RL

Reader is Autocad and writer is FGDB. What I am trying to do is extract separate attributes from one layer name. For example Layer name is 4_SDR_21_WATERMAIM and need the 4_ in "size" field SDR_21 in "material" field and WATERMAIN in "main_type" field? Can someone please point me in the right direction for the best way to accomplish this? Thank you

I am looking into using FME Server 2013's scheduling capabilities to run workspaces on a schedule. These workspaces have many published parameters that must be specified. Is it possible to use the built-in web interface to schedule jobs and specify the parameters these jobs should run with? I am not seeing anything like that in the UI or documentation.

I have a dataset of polylines from an ArcGIS database with a 2D geometry and the z-values for the startingpoints and endpoints stored in its attributefile as Z-Start and Z-End. I need to assign those values to the z-value of the first and last points in the polyline in order to export the dataset as a 3D dwg-file. There is nothing in the datasets attributes that indicates wich is the beginning or the end of the polyline but looking at the datasets geometry for each polyline in the Data Inspector shows that the order of the including points follows the drawingorder in ArcGIS I cannot find a way that could count the number of points in the geometry of the polyline or a way to assign the z-values. Is this doable?

Is it possible to use https with FME server?

I am using the veronoi cell generator to take azimuth data and create sector maps with the output being a shapefile. I right clicked on the writer for the shapefile and selected copy attributes from feature type and chose the input csv file as the feature to copy the attributes from. None of the attributes end up in the shapefile and at this point I am unsure of how to proceed. Any help is appreciated.

All, I just flpped open the back-end of SDE 10.1 through SQL server and to my surprise the geometry of the SDE feature classes was being read as if it were native SQL spatial data... Is this a supported feature? Thanks! -m

I'm using FME Desktop 2013. I'd like to know if there is a way to filter/separate out "shapes" and "cells" that are on the same level in the dgn file. Thank you

What is the best approach for creating an FME workspace that will accept a layer name as a parameter, then export to any data format. The layers will be coming from SDE, however, depending on the layer name, may have additional FME transformers, etc. Is there a way to conditionally evaluate a layername parameter, then branch off the workspace execution? For the output, I assume the generic writer is my best bet? Thanks in advance, M

I am having trouble converting shape files into MapInfo and changing the projection from UTM to Long/Lat. I have tried using FME, MapInfo Universal Translator, MapInfo Create Points. I even tried creating long/lat fields in a table and then trying to Create Points. But in all cases the files come up UTM in MapInfo not long lat even though the MapInfo default is Long/Lat. Anyone with experience with FME and MapInfo that can help kdmur

Before i dive into this can someone please advise me if this is possible with the data interoperability extension? Thanks in Advance. http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/Samples_and_Demos/Creating-Geodatabases-based-on-existing-geodatabases

I am going from DWG to FGDB and have my complete modle working correctly but can not get ANY autocad_ attributes to pull into the DB. All attributes that are in the blocks and ones i create are fine. Any sugestions or toggle I have to flip? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to solve a problem for my company. We have built our own land base datasets for the state of Pennsylvania. We are trying to figure out how to create this data as a basemap to be used on Google Maps map control. Is this possible? If so, is the FME Desktop enough, or is FME server required? Right now, we only have FME Desktop. Further, how would you go about starting this type of project? Any help is appreciated to get started. I did not have much luck with searching the forums thus far. Thanks, Nick

Hello Dears. I am working on a migration of Smallworld 3.3 to 4.3, however I getting the error below: |ERROR |BADNEWS: No MULTI_WRITER dataset name was specified (couldn't find a value for `MULTI_WRITER_DATASET') (writrimp.cpp:572) | 1.0| 0.1|ERROR |BADNEWS: This FME edition does not recognize the `SWORLDSWAF' writer. Please ensure that the current platform supports this writer, the writer name is spelled correctly, and that you have installed all required plug-ins (creator2.cpp:745) | 1.0| 0.0|INFORM|Trying to find a BUILTIN plugin for writer named `SWORLDSWAF' | 1.0| 0.0|ERROR |BADNEWS: BUILTIN writer not found -- no Writer named `SWORLDSWAF' is available in this FME version (creator2.cpp:795) I guess that the problem is on the field sworld_geometry{0}.sworld_name that receives exi_location as value. But what intrigues me is that the error only occurs when I try to record geometry data. (Writing tabular there is no error). The geometry is Simple Someone could help me please? Thanks i
