Data

I am interested in read several .dbs files with FME. I have read that this .dbs is a Gupta Technologies SQLBase database file.Is there any chance that FME can read this format?

Hello all, I've been trying to delete a folder containing some data after processing. I cannot use a temp folder so have turned to python to complete the task.I've tried following the comments in the following thread but it doesn't seem to work for me File Copy - DELETE (safe.com)I can get the process to work when 'hard coding' as shown below. But when I try to make it dynamic by replacing 'location' with feature.getAttribute('filepath') and dir with feature.getAttribute('directory') it fails.The filepath and directory attributes are shown below:'filepat

Hello everyone!We have a file format that we work with, which is used by our engineering world to create bills of quantities for engineering projects.The name of the format is SKN, and in fact it is very similar to csv/excle,Is there a way I can just read it and put it in my workflow?I am attaching an example of the file here (zipped)Thank you!

How do we read AGOL relationship classes/related tables in FME? The published table can be imported separately but the relationship linkage is not maintained in the parent feature service. Is there a way to import feature service in a way from where the related table is linked?

I am reading into my workbench both dwg and dgn files using two feature readers. I am able to expose the fme_dataset for the dgn file by using an attributeExposer transformer, but the fme_dataset will not be exposed for the dwg files. I am able to get the fme_feature_type and fme_text_string for each FeatureReader. But I want to add the file name (fme_basename) as an attribute to each feature so I know what file it came from. Things I have tried:separate AttributeExposer transformers for each FeatureReaderThe same AttributeExposer transformers for both FeatureReadersAdding fme_basename to the <Generic> Port, along with $(SourceDataset_DWG)checking all of the needed options in Reader > Parameters > Schema AttributesWhen I open the inspector after the Exposer, all of the attribute fields are there but the values are empty. All of this information (file name, project name) comes from published user parameters. How can I ad

Hello!I know there are quite a few posts on the subject, but despite everything, I could not apply the solutions to my information.I have a worksheet that produces an ffs file for me, attached, (I changed the names in Hebrew to letters and numbers..)The file represents a neighborhood by type of consumption and amount of water consumed in it.my output is this: How can I Transpose it into this:(The number 1288.64 as a generic representative of consumption..)I would really appreciate your help!The excel file here represents an idea, at the end I write the FFS file for other formats..

In the UK we are able to download energy performance certificates from the following government website. Energy Performance of Buildings Data England and Wales (opendatacommunities.org)Unfortunately you need to register to gain access but its very straightforward.Within there is access to an api, which I have tried to use within FME to automate the downloading of these certificates for a local authority area, but always get a failure.Can anyone else connect to this API and download certificates and if so how. Sorry i cant paste the API but it changes for each user... Regards

I'm looking for some help with creating a Bridge in CityGML with two BridgeParts. Those BridgeParts can consists of one or more other objecttypes like BridgeConstructionElements. I've tried many things, but I can not figure out how to create the hierarchy of all the components in CityGML...Of course using the gml_id and gml_parent_id to connect elements, but unfortunately this somehow doesn't work out the right way. Anyone ?Like to share the final solution! What I like to see is a hierarchy:one bridgeconsists of two bridgepartswhereas different bridge elements like constructionelements can be found in both 'bridge' and the two bridgeparts So, something like this (simplified of course):<Bridge gml_id: BRIDGE>  Bridgepart gml_id = part_1 gml_parent_id = BRIDGE BridgeConstructionElement gml_id = 563456 gml_parent_id = part_1

I have a LAS point cloud dataset that i want to urn into a nice mesh surface,the area is 1kmx1km. it has some high-rise buildings. using the workflow below. I've tried thinning the point cloud and ive also tried playing with the parameters in the TIN generator but it doesn't come through very nicely. any advice? I was thinking it ditch FME and use something else for this conversion?iwould like to use this mesh in unreal engine if the conversion goes well  

Hi, I'm trying to dynamically write some features to a Geopackage, but constantly get the error `OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: For feature type 'd_y_n', primary key attribute 'fid' has unsupported type 'mediumint'. Primary key must have type 'int'`. I'm reading the schema and features with a FeatureReader, from a PostGIS database. Dynamic writers for other formats seem to be working fine (obviously not tried them all!). And I've tried manually changing the schema in the workbench (by altering the native type attribute), which also doesn't work. If I manually set the output schema it works, but I can't do that... Any ideas how I could resolve this issue? (Using FME 2021.2 on MacOS)

say I have a GDB, with a feature dataset fruit (gdb) apples (feature dataset)coreslicesusing the schema reader, how can I expose the feature dataset name of apples?exposing all of the attributes in schema reader will not expose the name of the actual feature dataset within apples. I can get all the other attributes using list exploder.but can't get the feature dataset name.anyone know how?

I've built an AutoCAD based automation in FME Form and use blocks with text for some of the output features. The text aligns how it was designed in the block in the FME Form output.   However, when running in FME Flow the text shifts.If I move the block slightly, select Reset Bl;ock or edit the text in AutoCAD then it snaps back to the correctly designed position.I'm using the same template dwg in FME Form and FME Flow.

I would like to integrate and automatize Primavera data in FME.I don't see any reader that accept primavera.How should I proceed to reach my goal?

Can we write Arcgis Pro file formats ( aprx) with the help of FME.

I've recently been provided with a large number of relatively small KMZ files which contain track data recorded by field staff using GPS. This is usually a simple extraction process, however the data is now being provided as a gx:MultiTrack within the KMZ file.(More Info - https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#gxmultitrack)When using FME, it processes the features as if they have no geometry. Currently I'm reading the data in as an xml and extracting the coordinates to build line features as a work around, but not sure it's the best way.Has anyone dealt with MultiTracks before using FME and have any tips or tricks to extract the geometry cleanly? Thanks in advance.

HI,  I am copying Multipatch features from one file GDB to another, but when i do this they rendered and solid black features when viewed in ESRI  This  Instead of this   Any thoughts on what is happening?  Thanks Jacky

Is it possible to search for multiple file extensions in the one directory and file pathnames reader simultaneously?Path Filter:* - returns all files*.dgn - returns all dgn files*.dgn,*.shp - returns 0 resultsCan someone please help me with the correct syntax for multiple file extensions in Path Filter?

Hello all,I am reading a scanned PDF image of a county and I would like it to read as a single file. It appears to be reading it as 7 different files, which will output into 7 different TIFFs. Does anyone know how to fix this problem and make it read as a single PDF image?

I tried pasting my SQL command in the feature reader, but it keeps bringing in everything from that database or schema.

I have an AutoCAD DWT template file and I would like to extract all of the layer definitions (e.g. line style, weight, colour, etc.). The DWT file does not contain any objects (i.e. no lines, points, blocks, etc.), so FME does not have any features to process. Is there any way that I can extract the layer definitions?I've tried using the schema reader and I can use that to get all the layer names, but not the associated linestyles, etc.My end goal is that I need to validate supplied CAD files against the standard layer definitions defined in the template file and I was hoping to extract the template layer definitions into a spreadsheet or database so that I could use that to do the validation. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way? Is there a way that I can use FME to validate that a DWG matches a template DWT definition?

Recently I tried to write a few million non-spatial features to a Hyper writer. At some point (around 11.000 features) in committing the features to the file (create if needed on a new non-existent file) it errors. With the debugging option in the log I was able to figure out that a 'COPY-IN' statement is executed I think.When I look at the documentation https://tableau.github.io/hyper-db/docs/sql/command/ no such statement is supported. Am I correct here?  Features per transaction is set at 1000. Bulk insert: Yes. Changing these makes no difference.  When limiting the features that pass to the writer it will write the file correctly. Like say about 50.000 no problem.

Hello. I´m Topo79.I'm trying to export through pdf_rasterized_pages to an GeoTiff in its real coordinates but it's imposible. I've transformed a gdb into Adobe Illustrator, ffs and GeoPDF at once, but from GeoPDF to georreferenced GeoTiff it isn't posible.Thanks a lot ;)

Hi, I’m trying to add into a pdf (PDF2D) an image. I have created it as a png with transparent background. However when the pdf is created the background is black. I have tried different things but can’t figure it out how to remove the black background. This is what I’m doing: CreatorRasterReaderRasterGeoreferencerPDFStylerPDFPageFormatterPDF2D Writer  I played with the PDFStyler but it doesn’t change the result. Can somebody guide me? Thanks,

Currently we have the following where clause for the database connection which works well: Need to add additional parameter which is [transactiondate]= CONVERT (date, GETDATE()) . Tried the following but no results returned:[PartDate]= CONVERT (date, GETDATE()) AND [transactiondate]= CONVERT (date, GETDATE()).Ran in SQL and for sure there are data based on the above where statement. Please let me know what did i do wrong. Thanks.
