Data

See 12 day old post. I appreciate the gamification of the user base but it is not a game when I have a critical, work FMW that that isn’t working.  There has got to be something better than this support.  Am I not entitled to some level of solution based, tech support for the software fees paid?

So I’ve been trying to overwrite a coordinate system in FME, usually I work with EPSG codes. In FME most (if not all ) projections has an EPSG associated with them. When searching for a coordinate system you can just throw in the EPSG code. It’s great.I discovered that one of FME’s coordinate systems (EPSG:3004) by default uses a pretty poor translation to WGS84. I wanted to update the definition so the EPSG code would work better. I defined a new coordinate system in the hopes that when picking the EPSG code it would take my user defined system over the FME one. I found that the only way I could get the EPSG number to link to my new definition was if I actually gave it the same name as the one in FME Any other name and using the EPSG would always revert back to the old unprecise definition. In this case “MonteMario_1.Italy-2”. Of course now I get what looks to be duplicates in the list. Interestingly, no matter which you pick you always end up with the same coordinate system getting u

Hi,How can I stop the translation if one Tester in my workspace pass 0 features in the ‘Passed’ port? Thank´s

I have FME v2024 with a Floating License. I have Windows 10 Enterprise installed. I am almost out of space on my disk where my "Temp" folder is located.The persistent problem I have with FME is that every time I try to open an XML file, although I do have the reader for it, I consistently get the same 6 errors. I have tried opening other files and there is no problem with those, only with XML files.[1]: HTTP transfer error: Timeout was reached[2]: Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up[3]: No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been entered.[4]:Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'CITYGML' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See logfile for more information[5]:Workspace generation failed.

I’m running FME Form 2023 and creating a new script with a reader wich fails when looking up tables. Message given: Failed to retrieve feature typesCould not open the enterprise geodatabase because the local version of arcgis is not compatible with the server's SDE version.On the laptop I have both Arcmap 10.7 and ArcGIS PRO 3.1 (AGP) installed. When creating the reader I use a connection file created in AGP. I also have FME 2018 but this is 2023. The reader is defined as “Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) / Embed Connection Parameters” as the geometry format in the database is ST_GEOMETRY. To me it looks like files from ArcGIS 10.7 is found and used which doesn’t work. Is there any way to force FME 2023 to use “library files” from AGP 3.1 or is there another way to solve the problem?

I am joining a data table with polygons, via a FeatureJoiner using a common value between the two datasets, both data sources come from a sql database. I am outputting a spatial table (the polygons, joined with the data) to another database.I am encountering a strange issue when I try to open this data with ArcGIS Pro, I have never come across this before - The ESRI_OID does not exist. I was not aware this was required previously either.This is causing various issues with viewing the data and publishing it, or joining it within ArcPro. I am getting this error on the esri GIS server when I try to view the polygons/or view the table. here is what the output data rows look like:It is a very simple dataset with geometry. I’ve never had to make esri_oids before in any of my workbenches, does anyone have any insight to what might be going wrong?  

I know that citygml has versions from 1.0 to 3.0.However, it seems that changing ifc to fme is only possible with citygml 2.0.Maybe I don't know how? Or is fme only converted to 2.0 by converting ifc to citygml?version미국식[│vɜːrʒn]영국식[│vɜːʃn; │vɜːʒn]1. (이전의 것·비슷한 종류의 다른 것들과 약간 다른) -판[형태] (→beta version)2.

The .ecw file created through FME, QGIS cannot identify its CRS correctly. I tried with both ecw v2 and v3. This can be fixed through ECW header edit. It might be a bug when trying to write GDA2020 datum to ecw file.

Hello community,I've updated an ArcGIS Online Feature Service using FME, but unfortunately, I seem to have lost my data. The table still exists, but the data is missing. The feature service I want to restore was already added as both a feature service reader and writer. Does anybody have an idea how I can restore my data? The 'Enable Feature Cache' option was already checked.FYI: we only have Arcgis online, we dont have Arcgis Entreprise and portal 

What would be the best way (aside from opening the file in a GIS software) to find out if the vertices in a shapefile has a Z and/or an M?

Hi -I’m attempting to identify the schema of 33 shapefiles. The goal is to transform all the shapefiles from one schema to a standardized schema in a single workflow. My thought is to first identify all the attributes of the raw data then create a look-up table. To do this, I started by running a query on my source folder using the PATH reader to identify all the shapefiles in the folder. Next, I was going to use the FeatureReader transformer with the Format set to ESRI Shapefile using the file path attribute (path_windows) from the PATH reader as the dataset to read. I was then going to use the ListExploder to expose the attributes from the <Schema> output port. However, the schema output port is skipping 4 of the shapefiles. The schema output port = 29 ; initiator output port = 33. I’m not sure why it’s doing this. The file path is different for all the shapefiles. Any help to get all 33 shapefiles to go through the <Schema> output would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Hi, when opening fbx in FME, I see a property with a description of the material in the geometry parts (pay attention to the line highlighted with a marker) FME has a python interpreter, with its own classes and functions.I have already pulled out the coordinates of the points, in the code belowimport fmeimport fmeobjectsFeatureProcessor class (object):def __init__(self):passesentering def (self, feature):all_geom = function.getGeometry()first_part = all_geom.getPartAt(0)if type(first_part) == fmeobjects.FMEMesh:meshs = first_part.getAsMultiSurface()vertices_list = first_part.getVertices()textur_coord_list = first_part.getTextureCoordinates()textur_length = len(textur_coord_list)if textur_length > 0:for trian_mesh in first_part:ver_index = trian_mesh.getVertexIndices()textur_index = trian_mesh.getVertexNormalIndices()newFeature = fmeobjects.FMEFeature()pnt1 = vertices_list[ver_index[0]]pnt1_t = textur_coord_list [textur_index [0]]newFeature.setAttribute('X1',pnt1[0])newFeature.setAt

Hi,I was wondering if you could please help me convert data in NAD83 with vertical from HT2_0 to CGVD 1928 adjustment.I am using the CSMapReprojector transformer in FME Form 2023.2.1.0 (20240104 - Build 23774 - WIN64) but apparently FME is looking for a geoid height grid (*.gdc) file.Please advise. Greatly appreciated.Thank you! WillyWilfredo de Vera

Hi, I am writing spatial plans in PostGIS just fine, but when I read them back through PostGIS Reader, the appearance seems to disappear, and its this generic gray color. Can someone help me preserve the geometry appearance as well?Writing geometry: Reading geometry:  

I have a text field (attribute) in a table that is 2048 characters in length. I want to change it to 50. What Transformer do I use in FME to achieve this? I am using FME Form 2021. 

I have spatial (ESRI FGDB data) that I want to make into a non-spatial table.  Regardless of what I try (e.g. deleting the ‘Shape’ field) the data is still spatial. 

I have one shapefilter consisting of agricultural land and some gps points in csv. how can I filter these gps points which fall in the agricultural land? I have already tried Spatial Filter but it doesn´t work all the time it fails. Would be really nice if anyone could help me with this problem. :)

Hi,Is there any way to prevent FME Desktop from converting dates to its internal format? For example, if you get '2024-05-30' I want it to remain '2024-05-30' and not '20240530'.I understand that it can be useful in some cases but there are others that this automatic conversion becomes a headache. Thank you!Regards.

I have a close polyline in dwg and some lines inside this polyline. the polyline contains arcs too. with these 2 I create small areas in fme.now the problem:when i create these areas the boundary where the arc part of exterior polyline is different fromthe boundary of smaller areas.is this a bug in fme? cause it doesn’t make sense to create parts of the same arc that are not colinear with the arc that the part was extracted.or is there a setting that i have to set? ive notice that the arcs has different description in inspector windowfor the new created areas it says “IFMEArc: Arc By Center Point With Ends”and the other shape it says IFMEArc: Arc By Bulge. example:Pink area was generated and overlaps the exterior boundary (blue line) area. that should not happen

Hi, everyone.I have two datasets. I need to find polygons that do not overlap, even if they have different shapes. I'm using a spatial filter, and I've tried others too, without success. When analyzing the failed ports, some polygons appear as 'NO INTERSECT', but in ArcGIS, it's possible to see that the polygons are overlapping others. I've tested this and I think the intersection analysis in ArcGIS is better than the spatial transformers in FME. How can I perform this validation correctly in FME?  I'm worried that my results are not reliable when using FME for detecting overlaps. Could it be that my configuration in the transformers is incorrect? Which transformer or configuration is equivalent to the intersects operation in ArcGIS?  

Hi all, I’m trying to create a simple script which reads a csv and writes to a point gdb. The CSV files I am trying to read are hosted publicly online but they are failing to open in FME workbench. I’m using a Feature reader to do this (for CSV format, and with the csv URL below), but I keep getting the following error:  I am fairly new to FME so I’m not sure if there’s an obvious setting in my workbench that I’m missing here. Thanks!

Hi everyone,i try to import an Auxiliary trail created in Smallworld to FME for further intersections with different smallworld objects (using the SBS Plugin). Unfortunately it seems that FME cannot read the XML file correctly as i cant see any geometries. I used the XML (Extensible Markup Language) reader but maybe another reader might be better? or might a writer be useful to extract the geometries? I attached the XML file an hope that somebody has an idea what to do. Thank you!  

Hey Everyone!its just a curious doubt…Can we solve snapping errors on Fme form?

Hi.I have a problem where I have a local counter (_count) that adds a counter to each feature that passes through. I also have a list of numbers I want the counter to ignore. Eg 1 to 10,000 but ignore the 244 numbers in my _ignoreList, which is dynamically created. 1,2,3...39,40,42 (ignore 41 because its in my list)Any ideas on how I would go about this?All help is greatly appreciated.Regards, Paul

Hello ,I am checking duplicate consecutive points It is clear that issue locations port show one vertex of duplicate point with coordinates (x,y).i would like to know the two vertex that duplicated then  I choose one of them to cancel .but it show me only one vertex .How could I achieve it ? FME 2021
