Data

This seems like it should be really easy to do but I’m spinning my wheels. I have a dataset of points, each with an attribute of Contract Number. I have a set of polygons also with Contract Number attributes. I need to determine if the point falls within a polygon AND the point contract number matches the polygon contract number that it falls within. What’s the best way to achieve this?

I am trying to change the FME Server database from the default Postgres to SQL Server. I have followed the instructions in this link: http://docs.safe.com/fme/2018.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Changing_Database_Provider.htmbut after everything is done, I cannot login as admin anymore. I get the login page to come up, and I can confirm that connectivity is there to SQL Server, but it won't accept my password for admin anymore.

Hello,I’m working in FME Form (both tested in 2023.2 and 2024.0 ) with DGN files contaning 3D objects in Smart Solid format.I’m looking for some possibility in controlling solid to mesh decimation process. At the moment I can’t find any way to change default way how FME Reader create mesh from solid objects.For example some circular object is decimated as 8 vertices.I’ve already tested Stroking Tolerance without any effecthttps://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/Stroking_Tolerance.htmand “Number of interpolated curve vertices” in DGN Reader parametrs. Any suggestions?  

I have multiple sensor output csv files that have the same field names that changes with every single file.  The locations of the fields stays the same which is good.  An example is ID, DATE, TEMP, COND_HIGH, COND_LOW.  If the reader field names are changing constantly what is a good way to strip those names and put the simple ones above in their place?  I have attempted or looked at the Schemamapper, but I’m not sure if that is the route to take.  The other way I messed with was Reader > UUID > AttributeExploder > AttributeCreator (Conditional Statements) > Aggregator?  Any help would be appreciated.  I think I am making this harder than it needs to be.

Hi together, Is there a way to delete the content of a ffs file but not the file itself? I am using FME 2021.2.0.1. Thanks for your support

I’ve seen that FME 2023.2 Build 23764) doesn’t recognise ArcGIS Pro 3.3 for access to Esri licenses. Will this be resolved in 2024.1? I haven’t tested 2024.0 as I’m waiting on the .1 release

I’m  combining lines based on end noded while keeping some attributes in a list for each original lines (1). Then I create a new attribute based on the lists (2) with conditions based on numbers in the lists (3).    I would like to set up the condition statement dynamically: the number of lists varies each time I run the workflow so I would like to pick numbers from the last list available (in this case PR_list{2}) and do something like: PR_list{0}.ORIGINE < PR_list{max}.ORIGINE instead of choosing the list manually.  Is it possible to create a dynamic condition in the condition value definition? 

I am currently reading all .dwg files from a folder with a dwg reader and it works well. To gain time, I would like to select in the reader the layers I want to keep (named “CADRE”)  instead of reading all the dwg files and the thousands of elements contained by them, which I filter after as I am doing currently (see photo). I looked the reader documentation and on forums but I can’t find the right parameters, is it not possible to do something like that? Thanks for your help!

Dear All,  I'm looking for tools to write ENHANCED COMPRESSED RASTER GRAPHIC (ECRG, MIL-PRF-32283) and High Resolution Elevation(HRE, NGA.IP.0002_1.0 HRE) files.  I have searched the FME reader/writer list, and these two formats are not on the list. ECRG and HRE files are physically formatted within a National Imagery Transmission Format 2.1 (NITF 2.1). Is it possible to use NITF writer to export ECRG and HRE?

Hi, I have a problem. I just created a line out of multiple points of an x,y,z text file with the LineBuilder tool. The problem is that the points name are lost. After the LineBuilder I use a Chopper to split the line into segments. Now I want to add a new attribute to the line segments, which has the initial names of the points. Because due to the LineBuilder the names are lost and are everywhere the same. How can I do that?

Hi Community! I was wondering if anyone had an idea of why I am getting different values for polygonal areas when calculated in FME using AreaCalculator vs the SHAPE_Area attribute of an ESRI feature class?The geometry I am working with enters the workbench with a defined projected coordinate system (DUB-DTLM) from a dwg file and the feature dataset in which the destination feature class resides is also in DUB-DTLM.The discrepancies are minor (at the 3rd decimal place in sqm) but nonetheless have the potential to cause issues.Interestingly, when the features are interrogated in Map3D, they show the same area as is calculated in FME.Any explanation (or even hint!) as to the cause of the difference would be much appreciated.

Hi, Is there a way to divide records into equal parts based on the value of an attribute? In concrete terms, I want to divide 400 areas into 3 pieces, each of which is the same size.Thx

Hi. reading LYRX (“layer files”) from ArcGIS Pro failes when the layer file include Grouped Layers. It works just fine if the LYRX file does not include Group Layers.Thea Layer File/LYRX is made with ArcGIS Pro 3.2.2 where the LYRX file is in JSON format.

Hello.I’m trying to convert and IFC file into CityGML 3 file using the ifc-to-citygml3 FME Workspace, but when I tried to Run it, it shows this error.ISO10303-21: The input data contains a syntax error at the beginning of the file. The file should start with 'ISO-10303-21'.

Hi All,I’m working on an automation that needs to identify those lines that follow the geometry from another layer. The following screenshot explains what I need to do: Red line follows a river (not exactly the same geometry but pretty close) and need to identify those red lines that follows the blue centerline….I was thinking maybe I need to calculate the percentage of overlap between red and blue?There’s other locations where the red line only overlaps the blue lines for a little section so I can ignore those, see belowAny idea how to approach this?

Hi, I am new to FME so might be making a rookie mistake. But I am trying to update AGOL from a GDB shapefile but it won’t update in AGOL. I have managed to get everything to work and it shows the updates but its not sending the data to AGOL. What am i missing here?   

I have a .csv file with x, y, z coordinates. From these points, I want to create a 3D line. Currently, I have the issue that the z coordinates are not being transferred onto the line when I create a line from the points. Does anyone have an idea of how I can proceed?

I had a FME scenario running to read the feature service and related tables and write to an excel file. I have the excel writer setup to “Fanout” the dataset which used to drop each table from the feature service into its own sheet within excel. I went back to run the FME scenario and when I check the excel outputs some of the tables are missing. Prior to running the scenario I check to make sure all the tables are checked and that the reader is seeing all of the tables, which it is. I check “select all” and run the scenario but when I check excel I get 6 of 9 tables. I have double check every setting and even started a new FME template and recreated the reader/writer but I still don’t get all the tables in the excel output.Can anyone help me out? Thank you

Hi Everyone..I was able to find a workspace from community this template attached and did few changes to it and it is working as expected with sample template provided in workspace to create a GDB with domains , fieldnames and field alias.      1) This workspace consider single default words in domainlist provided in excel  only like Domain1 -      Attached Sample_1_Workspace template - works with 2023 version.This workspace consider single altered words domainlist like alphabets(A,B,C….) in Attached Sample_2_Workspace_template - works with 2023 version  This workspace consider 2 words in domain list like FME form in attached sample_3workspace_template -doesnt work and workspace fails.. If there are any special characters or space it doesnt work like : FME Form or FME_Form. I have attached error log and all sample data files with with each workspace.. Any Experts Kindly support : How can i resolve this with text as FME Form or FME_Form (with a space or special characters. Thanks

Greetings, I’m trying to use an ETL to convert RVT files (2023) into File Geodatabase multi patch, however, the following model produces the right objects, but in the wrong location, even though when reading the RVT file directly in ArcGIS Pro, the building falls in the right place. Any clue? 

Good morning,I would like to use FME processing to "periodically" update the values ​​of certain Utility Network attributes.This concerns the updating of data which potentially can be versioned, but I am only considering here the updating of "descriptive" (simple) attributes which are not involved in asset group assettype distribution rules and which have no impact on connectivity rulesDo you have experience of the best methodology to use and perhaps illustrate this with an example Workbench?THANKS 

I need to extract TAB or Shape file from S3 and read data from it including schema.I have discovered in this articlehttps://community.safe.com/data-7/how-to-extract-the-actual-shapefile-from-featurereader-geometry-and-attributes-14548?tid=14548&fid=7that FeatureReader apparently can’t read all attributes that are in the file, until I expose them. But what is I don’t know the list of all attributes? I don’t know what exactly will be uploaded by other people to S3 bucket, I just need to read the file.  Could you help, please, to identify the correct settings of FeatureReader or another way to extract data?

In the JSON transformer documentation, there is a sub-section on JSON Query, which states: JSON Property ExpressionsA property expression is a structure expression as described above, followed by a . (dot) operator and a property name. Currently, the only supported properties are type and size. The type property returns the type of the JSON value referred to by the JSON structure expression. For example, if the outermost JSON element is an array, and the first element of the array is a string, then the expression json[0].type would have a value of string. The size property, which can only be applied to an array, returns the number of elements in the array. For the life of me, I cannot find any other documentation on this and am unable to get it working. I tried a similar example to the one described above ("columns" is an array) but I get the following error: The JSON query 'json["columns"].size' cannot be used to produce features. String expressions and pro

I have an asbuilt with a table that has all the locations/names of  the structures.   The table layer name  is “text” and when i bring in  the drawing, the text layer is empty. Im sure its how i have my parameters set up so a little guidance on how to read this would be great. 

I am trying to upload ifc data through PostGIS Writer and while doing so, I want to generate and store the time of upload as well. However, it gives the following error: “Value of attribute 'begin_lifespan_version' could not be converted to type 'timestamptz'. Feature will be logged and skipped.” can someone help? I am a beginner in FME as well.
