Data

Hi All,I’m new to process LiDAR data using FME and just received a bunch of LAS files that need to process as DEM (output). I was doing some reading and users sue the _classifciation to classify the data but have just realised that my data isn’t classify as my classification filed is 0? Screenshot below: I’ve also tried to use the PointCloudLASClassifier but the classification is 0 so doesn’t work. Any trick to classify the data and be able to export the DEM?

I am working with a workbench that was authored close to 15 years ago. We had to change out the SDE Readers that are pulling in our GIS features. Since changing the reader the text be written to the DGN is coming out in different sizes. I have checked the output in the inspector and although the text is visually different the idgs_text_size attribute is consistent. I have tried to override this with the DGN styler but there is something else going on. Any ideas on how to either assess or fix this would be greatly appreciated. 

Dear,I have a folder with 2208 xml files, approx. 30 GB. I read these files using a File Path Reader followed by an XML reader. From these files I select some features and save them locally. However, with my 16 GB RAM I run into memory issues. I already reduced the amount of data as much as possible within my workbench but still its not enough.Is there a method I read first 10 xml files – process them – save the outcome and go to the next 10 files, like a loop? My second question is whether it will safe memory in case I use a fanout expression or just write one final dataset with the results.My version is: FME 2023.2.1

Has anyone been able to mine Oracle redo logs using logminer? I’m beginner to Oracle but it seems to me that it should be possible. I’m trying to create cdc process from Oracle to postgres and I’m able to query insert and update operations sufficiently enough from date fields that tell me when rows are updated or inserted. However, I can’t catch delete operations that way and it would be beneficial to be able to read the redo logs for the actual operations. I know I can query and compare id’s from source and target to detect deleted rows. However, this is time consuming because that would mean querying hundreds of millions of rows for the workflow.If I understood correctly, I need to setup DBMS_LOGMNR package and session for the logminer to be able to query V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS that would hold the transaction information. I guess DBMS_LOGMNR is part of Oracle database? Would that mean that I need Oracle database installed with license to be able to use logminer? The source

Hello,I have encountered a problem, and I hope someone can provide guidance. I need to extract segments of a gable roof. I have attached a picture that illustrates my input data, which consists of polygons indicating the gable roof among other roofs in a digital orthophoto.I have utilized the CenterLineReplacer tool, which yielded satisfactory outcomes in most cases. However, I am experiencing difficulties in situations depicted in the image below (the line should be in a different direction): Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi FME people,When creating a reader or writer, our typical procedure involves selecting an SDE database connection, such as SDE.EDIT.R. Following this selection, we establish a link to a deployment parameter, assigning it a local value. In this scenario, the local value corresponds to the database connection SDE.EDIT.R.    This works well, except when we try ‘view source data’ or ‘view written data.  The connection is set to the deployment parameter but the local value is not used instead.Anyone who

 Hi all, I seem to be getting a strange error when trying to attach an image from a feature layer in AGOL to Cityworks using the HTTP caller. My goal is to download and upload each unique image from the AGOL feature layer and attach it to the correct Work Order (i.e. picture of stop sign for sign work order, picture of a pothole for a pothole worker). My workflows is as follows, read in the AGOL feature layer, save each image using the AttributeFileWritter, create the work order, attach the image using the HTTP Caller. The error occurs when I try to upload the image will using a variable name in the output PATH + .jpeg extension. When I explicitly set the image in the file upload, it runs no problem. However when I use the variable name in the path I get a “ HTTPCaller_2 (HTTPFactory): [11]: HTTP transfer error: HTTP/FTP Transfer: Failed to open file 'C:\Path\To\Documents\WorkOrder_Pictures\.jpeg' for resource upload”.  Here is

Hello everyoneI hope someone can help me. I try to convert an INTERLIS (Switzerland specific dataformat) into a File-Geodatabase and got always the same error message: Could not create the File Geodatabase 'C:\Users\Documents\IBI INTERLIS\Test\ibi_saxeten.gdb'. A possible reason is that you may not have permission to create the Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220902'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {} Could anyone explain to me what this error message means, because I have literally no idea what causes this problem. Thanks a lot and have a nice week :)

Hello FME Community,I'm currently working on a project that involves a large number of subdomains and domains, and I have my data available in table format. I'm looking for guidance on how to organize this data into a geodatabase (GDB) using FME, while adhering to domain conventions.Specifically, I would like to know:How can I create subdomains within a GDB using FME? What steps are involved in defining domains for attributes within the GDB? Are there any best practices or recommended workflows for organizing subdomains and domains efficiently?Any insights, tips, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards,Vishnu N V

I’m looking for a way to move points which are spaced at “x” distance from one another to a nearby road (line) shapefile. I want to maintain the same “x” spacing along the road once the points are moved to the line.

Hello everyone,I'm facing a challenge in processing data in Excel and I'm seeking assistance. I need a method to search in one Excel table for entries that contain values from another Excel table and then create a new table with the found entries.Specifically, I want to search an Excel table (Table A; 8 collumns) for certain keywords. These keywords are located in a separate Excel table (Table B; 1collumn). When any of the keywords are found in Table A, I'd like to create a new table with these entries.I would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or examples that could help me solve this issue.Thank you very much in advance for your help!

I am reading data from a PostGIS table and writing to an ArcGIS eSDE, but I’m not able to create tables in the eSDE from FME, I can only write to tables created by ArcGIS Pro in the eSDE, is this normal?   I'm getting an ArcObjects error ‘-2147220655’, DBMS table not found. 

Hi FME users,  The main purpose of my recent FME workflow is to GET the files from the folder from the FME server using HTTPCaller. Although the process displayed green which means the process is running correctly, the inspector showed the HTTP status code 200, which means the results are rendered in the response body (Figure 1. ) but not created successfully in the local drive. Figure 2 is the basic setup in HTTPCaller. Figure 1. FME Inspector. Figure 2. HTTP Set-up  Then, I tried another URL copied from FME API using POST, /fmerest/v3/resources/connections/Data/download/Logo/CPB_Logo.jpg, then the FME gave me the

I have an AttributeManager in a custom transformer (may be part of the problem but thought I would start simple with the AttributeManager) that has the following data (correct) on the input but the name of the attribute (not the attribute values) is assigned in the output.Input Attribute “Public_Water_System_ID” with correct values and output with wrong values:Settings in the AttributeManager is as follows:For data type I’ve tried buffer (default), varchar(20), and char(20). None of the other types seemed to make sense since the values are string.Perhaps a related problem is that this attribute (“Public_Water_System_ID”) is passed as a parameter into this custom transformer

Hello everyone!I am beginning this conversation with two goals in mind. First, I would like to share and discuss my new transformer OpenAIGeographicCreator, and second, we at Safe would like to see how a post of the new type, “Conversation” performs in the community. The idea is to have a way to expand conversations beyond simple “question-answer” style and have meaningful discussions among multiple participants about problems, solutions, functionality and everything FME related. Here, we could run our ideas by the whole FME community, get advice or inspiration and share our successes and even failures - together, we may be able to help.So, the story of this transformer began with @bruceharold’s idea here: 

Hello FME community, I have an issue I'm working on and can't seem to figure out the solution. I have two Excel tables. One with different kinds of certifications and the score each is given.Certification Score Certification_A 1 Certification_B 5 Certification_C 7 The second one contains Applicants with fields defining the various certifications and links to said certification. One applicant can have multiple certifications. We need to determine for each applicant which is the highest scoring certification.Applicant_ID Certification_A Cerification_B Certification_C 1  

I have a process that uses a change detector transformer to compare address data from one database and update the data in a second database based on differences in the dataset. It works great normally but the other night it updated, but I had an extra 85000 records that ended up being duplicates of existing records. Both these databases are SQL server ESRI Geodatabases and are using the same SQL server instance. What I think happened is that the database instance was failed over while the FME process was in the middle of running, which disconnected the session temporarily and when reconnected started reading records again which looks like it started reading the records from the start but still included the records that were already read in addition. Is there something I can do or set when a database is failed over in the middle of running a process to prevent this issue?
