Data

Hi,I want to automate the process of downloading a dataset that comes as a zipped folder. Inside the folder, there is a GeoTIFF file that I want to read into FME. After that, I want to write it to a new GeoTIFF file, which should automatically update when the dataset is updated.What is the simplest way to do this?The file i want to work with is this: https://ext-dokument.lansstyrelsen.se/sodermanland/Geodata/Gron_infrastruktur/LstD_GI_Ädellöv_int.zip

Hi everyone,We recently switched to the new version (2024) of FME. I ceated a new fmw-file to convert gml to dgn. But when opening the dgn, I noticed that every level that uses an attribute value has the colour ‘white’ instead of the intended colour.Is this a bug? Can somebody help me how to solve this?Thanks in advance. 

 Hi folks! As I was using AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot to troubleshoot, I suddenly received information from the AI about the "Generate Workspace Documentation" function. Here's what I learned:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Generate Workspace DocumentationThis feature allows you to automatically generate comprehensive documentation for your FME workspace. The output is typically an HTML file that provides detailed insights into your workspace structure, parameters, and transformations. It's incredibly useful for sharing with colleagues or for archiving your workflows. How to Use It: Usage in FME Workbench (GUI):Open the FME Workbench application. Load the workspace you want to document. From the Tools menu, select Generate Workspace Documentat

I am trying to get my few MS Excel as a reader and then write them to a new Excel all together however, I got this error that says Excel Writer: xlsx row limit of 1048576 exceeded for New. The first 1048576 features of New will be written to file. Ending translation ? Is there a way around to pass this ?

I would like to fill the holes or patch the gaps that are not really holes (see image), but in the output I don’t get any attributes. Why is that, and what is the best method? I try Areaamalgamator but ii cannot retrieve the attributs in output…thank you 

Hi, I have the following csv sheet created with FMEThat is not exactly what I want. I would like to see the following format:The third column is empty, and for the last 4 columns only 1 row is needed. How can I achieve that? The values in the last 4 columns are purely inserted in the user interface at the start, not more than that.Below is the part of FME:The user parameters of the writer  are as follows:

Hi community!I’d like to know how to make the white background of this image transparent and change the black color of the geographic region to white. It’s important to keep the original resolution and export the file in Uint16 format.I’ve attached the image: could someone kindly apply this transformation and send me back the modified version?Thank you so much!

Hi,I do have a question for anyone that experience about extracted information from a website . I have a geodatabase that I set it up as a field with Domains.The project I am working on is Campground for my Forest here we have many campgrounds.  I work on about 18 campground so far…My question is can I go to Recreation.gov site and select a campground using in FME ? For example, in the search box , type Colorado Campground and then it turns to new page and you will see the campground map that has all the Site number you can pick.So click on number three and then click View details...which will bring another page and it gives you all the information about that site number…That is what I plan to use this…I have done input all the information into my geodatabase  there. Will HTMLExtractor work for this type of thing ?

Hi everyone,I’m running into an issue where FME hangs while reading a DWG file using the ACAD reader. The translation process stops and doesn’t progress past the following message:while reading dwg file translation will be stopped by 'LogCount_func' Loaded module 'LogCount_func' from file 'C:\Program Files\FME\plugins/LogCount_func.dll' FME API version of module 'LogCount_func' matches current internal version (4.0 20240212) Additionally, when using a PythonCaller with arcpy, I can confirm that the Python Factory locale is being flipped from UTF-8 (German_Austria.utf8) to ANSI (German_Austria.1252):import locale print("Startup locale:", locale.getlocale()) import arcpy print("After arcpy:", locale.getlocale()) Output:Startup locale: ('German_Austria', 'utf8') After arcpy: ('German_Austria', '1252') This matches the warnings shown in t

Dear community, I am trying to activate a workspace when a survey123 form has been edited and the user confirms that all necessary information has been completed (yes/no field). The work space would then extract data from ArcGIS online feature layer of incidents and the relevant repeat tables. The extracted data would then be used to populate a MS word template which once complete would be saved/exported as a pdf document. This pdf document would then be attached to an email and sent to the manager of who filled in the survey123. My main problem is trying to find a way to fill in the relevant field in the template with the extracted information from the ArcGIS online layer. Is there a transformer or series of transformers which make this possible? Thanks in advance. 

Hi,We are trying to use a FileCopy Transformer to transfer files from one location to our server (synology) / other computers (other computer).If we do it in Ubuntu GUI / SystemCaller command it works perfectly.But the file copy transformer always give error messages as we don’t have sufficient permission. Even if I put our NAS credential in the transformer (with a featureWriter), it give the error messages. The files are created in the server but there’s no content inside.Does somones already experienced it ?Thank’sSam

Hi community,how can I set a NoData value for the pixels that are located outside my geographic area of interest?Attached you can find a GeoTIFF file:https://we.tl/t-XjrxojSLZhThanks! 🙏

Hi, I’m trying to generically read some tables and distribute them into different DWG Object Data layers. For this, I have a mandatory attribute containing the output layername.I use a SchemaScanner with a Group By on this attribute to generate the schemas and finally write everything using a dynamic DWG Object Data Writer.But it doesn’t work, I get a Layer 'XXX' is not definedBut(bis) if I use another DWG writer (e.g. RealDWG) with the exact same configuration, it does work.I guess the difference comes from the Object Data table definition? But I have no idea how to do that. I’ve tried to sort schemas and features to make sure that the schemas arrive before the features but it doesn’t change anything.When using the RealDWG Writer, if the parameter Outpu

Hello, I am using FME Form 2024.1 and have the Esri ArcGIS Connector Package (version 3.11.3). I am experiencing some weird datetime functionality. I have a Portal Feature Service Reader (old school) in my workspace and would like to upgrade it to the new ArcGIS Feature Service Reader. Setup was great and reading the data worked well, but I noticed that any datetime attributes that come through are now being read differently. I have attached two screenshots of two datetime attributes that are being read differently depending on their Reader. The old version looks correct, you can generally start to make out the date for a feature (20250906), but the new way of reading looks completely different.Is there a setting I missed when setting up my new reader, or is this some new format? At first I didn’t notice this, but when I went to write the data back to Portal after passing it through my workspace, I got an error regarding these attributes (basically saying they were inv

Question:I need to generate a square georeferenced PNG where: the interior of a geographic region is transparent, the exterior is filled with a solid color (e.g., gray). Currently, I have two geometries in EPSG:2056, which I merged using a junction node.How can I produce a single georeferenced PNG with these properties?I’ve attached my script and the two input files. 

hello , How to use textures for different meshes of the same model in the PythonCaller converter?

I have a point layer, and within this layer I want to search around each point for those that are within 5000 m. For this, I used the Neighborfinder with "candidate only." It outputs a list with points that sometimes have 8 neighbors. In this list, I would like to keep either the initial point or the neighbor with the highest value in the TEST field. I'm stuck. I attached an image of the result and circled in red the points I’d like to keep.Moreover, the Neighborfinder transformer says it does not compare a point with itself, but I notice the opposite. Could you please help me?

Hi,I’m trying to modify the output file of a workspace using a Python shutdown script before it’s caught by the download service (or after, but before downloading). Is there any way to do that?The configuration is:workspace creating an output text file (interlis) workspace added to a Flow app with a download serviceI’ve tried to use the destination dataset parameter from the writer but without success. The script is :import fmedest_dataset = fme.macroValues['DestDataset_Interlis']with open(dest_dataset, 'r') as file: filedata = file.read()filedata = filedata.replace(',', '.')with open(dest_dataset, 'w') as file: file.write(filedata)Or if you have any clue on how to force an Interlis writer to use dots instead of commas as separator without changing the server locale, I’l

Normally I use FeatureReader to import my datasets. This time I am dealing with a 4.5 GB GML dataset. What are the best settings to improve reading speed for my FeatureReader? Just like a general approach to use, reading GML file is just an example. I also other formats like .gdb, xml, json etc.I try to use the SpatialFilter when possible which makes the reading already more targetted. Hence, its switched this time also using my study area as Initiator.  

I need to write my data into an MSSpatial database with a spatial index. However, when setting the SQLSERVER writer to the following then I do not get any spatial index generated. When I now go into SSMS to ‘clean up’ after FME Form then I face the issue that I have a column id of type identity, but it isn’t a PrimaryKey. Looking into the possibilities to set an index in the attribute definitions I can see that I set the index to ClusteredNotNull. I can also see there is no possibility to generate a ClusteredPrimaryKey, as it is necessary to create the spatial index. I assume I am going somewhere wrong here and would like to hear how I get my spatial index generated and

Is anyone else encountering  vertices that are not displaying when Mark Coordinates is turned on in the Data Inspector? The coordinates are in the feature record, and display when I select them. Currently using FME 2025.1The features I’ve noticed this in have been donuts, and it’s the inner ring that is not appearing.

Hi,I’m struggling with reading JSON as a flat table, which I could use in GIS.I have the following JSON: I enabled option “Flatten Nested JSON Values into Attributes” but that produced one row with many columns. In some other post someone proposed a query json["collection"][*], but that also didn’t work.What options should I use to produce a flat table with JSON attributes as column names?

Hi there,I have created a Mosaic Dataset in ArcGIS Pro from downloaded 1m DSM GeoTIFFs. This displays fine in ArcGIS Pro.  The boundary of the mosaic is clipped to the extent of the data I want to analyze.  I need to convert this to LAS to run some ArcGIS GP tools. So I have done this using the Mosaic Dataset as an input in FME:Esri Geodatabase Raster  → Point Cloud Combiner → LAS WriterThe output shows some incorrect data striping and looks like it missed some areas.
