Hi all,I am working on a script to replicate a set of feature classes from one enterprise geodatabase that we use for transactional editing purposes to another enterprise geodatabase that we use for publication purposes for the organization. This replication script would be scheduled in FME Server to run on a nightly basis.The issue is that the feature classes I plan on replicating have several domains and subtypes applied to them that don’t translate correctly.I’ve been advised to use the ‘Resolve Domains’ functionality and change the configuration from ‘coded domain’ type to ‘char’.My test workflow involves the below:Copying the feature class via the ‘Import Feature Class’ tool in ArcGIS Pro into the target Enterprise Geodatabase to have the feature class available in both geodatabases With FME:Selecting the ‘Resolve Domains’ checkbox in the Writer at the outset, and using the ‘Insert’ and ‘Truncate Existing’In the Wri

Hi, I have a dxf file with objects in it, their representation is fine, I’m happy with it.However I need to filter these object using an polygon extent. So I read the dxf file using and Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF reader and then lose the linetypes.The information seems to be read because an inspector shows me that the attribute autocad_linetype is correctly read (e.g. symbolLayer1), so it feels like the problem is that the style is not defined and thus FME uses CONTINUOUS in the end. Colors seem fine though. Is there any way to keep these types without recreating everything in FME? FME versions:Form 2023.1.1.1 Best Regards, Julien

Hi all,I have a CSV file containing stops with fields stop_lon and stop_lat. I’m trying to turn them into geometry and reproject them so I can use them with other layers.My workflow looks like this:CSV → Tester → VertexCreator → CoordinateSystemSetter → Reprojector In VertexCreator I assign X = stop_lon, Y = stop_lat. In CoordinateSystemSetter I set the source coordinate system to EPSG:4326. In Reprojector I reproject to EPSG:7856 (GDA2020 / MGA Zone 56). After running this, the points don’t land in the right place compared to my suburb polygon layer (which is already in EPSG:7856). In QGIS, both layers line up fine (on-the-fly reprojection), but in FME they don’t.Clearly I’m missing something in how I’m handling coordinate sys

Hi, I have a polygon that looks like it has some floating point issues in measures around 0. What is the best way to fix those values without affecting the legitimate values.I’m thinking extracting the measures as a list and then editing the list in python and resetting all the measures from the new list, but that seems a little convoluted.

I converted the fbx model to citygml format and opened it in KITModel Viewer, but encountered an error and the model did not display。  

I'm trying to create a custom transformer 'FeatureCountLogger' which logs the number of features inputted into this transformer.  The custom transformer contains a PythonCaller with the following code:   import fmeobjects class FeatureProcessor(object):    def __init__(self):        self.featureList = []    def input(self,feature):        self.featureList.append(feature)    def close(self):        logger = open(FME_MacroValues['Summarylog'], "a")        message = FME_MacroValues['Message'] + str(len(self.featureList)) + '\\n'        logger.write (message)        logger.close()      I want to use the logger multiple times, so I created a published parameter 'Message' in the custom transformer, so I can submit the text logged to each instance of the transformer.    When I'm running this I get the following error: Python Exception <KeyError>:

Hi,I am looking for a writter that will allow me to save blob data in FME Flow. On FME Form I am using AttributeFileWriter that is working completely fine 

Hello Am struggling to combine geometry of an object . I should have 19 objects there is only 1 object which just doesn’t want to combine any unknown reason…..don’t know why ? Any suggestion / idea would be much appreciated.  The reason i am combing objects is to extract the face of each object and then obtain FACE centre point for further analysis.  thank in advance 

Greets,I have two question: First one: how can I clip the green polygons based on the reds one with the same ratio?Second one: is there any way to move the red polygons to match the border of the green polygons. The Red and green polygons not in the same layer

In the stand-alone FME Form my FME script works well. However, using the same script in ArcGIS Pro faced error saying Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Type Definition … was requested, but not defined. A possible reason is that you may not have permission to create the Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147467259'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}FeatureWriter or classical Writer, there is no difference. With other FME scripts (created by others) a fgdb can be created. Why not the mine?  

Hi there,I have 2 parcel datasets, a master copy and a weekly update copy that I need to process into the master copy. Each parcel only appears once in each dataset and has a unique parcel ID so matching is fairly easy. I’ve used a change detector to flag any parcels with geometry updates, but now I need to identify the type of change that has taken place. This could involve parcels being split, merged or just the boundary being updated. What is the best way to do this? The logic in my head is this so far:Split parcels - Either, mutliple new parcels being inserted within the boundary of one that has been deleted OR Parcel boundaries shrinking and new parcels being added within boundary of originalMerged parcels - New parcel being inserted that takes the place of multiple deleted parcels OR Parcel boundaries growing to cover extent of deleted parcels

I’m able to write dynamically to a file geodabase using the GEODATABASE_FILE writer with the following setupHowever, trying to do the same in a FeatureWriter fails with a cannot define schema errorSame behaviour seen in both FME 2024.1 and FME 2025.1Is this a known issue?If i try to set schema definition name to fme_feature_type_name in the Feature Writer it’s not possible, only fme feature_type is available for selectionThe only way i can seem to get the FeatureWriter writing dynamically to a File geodatabase is by adding the schema attribute to all features

Hi FME folks,I'm trying to reproject these coordinates: SRID=3857;POINT(530385.593659309 6910697.223221438) into a EPSG:28992 point.I notice the result FME gives me differs a lot from other tools / methods - the difference is about 12 cm.My method:1: Scraping JSON: "geometrie": "SRID=3857;POINT(530385.593659309 6910697.223221438)"2: CoordinateSystemSetter: EPSG:38572: Use regex to extract Lat / Lon.3: Create point using VertexCreator4: Reprojector: Source: EPSG:3857 | Destination: EPSG:28992Results FME:POINT (112820.96207905837 513493.7654737713) Other tools used:Internal geocoding tool: POINT (112820.87254041698 513493.83730794006) ChatGPT conversion: POINT (112820.87254041698 513493.83730794006) Google Gemini conversion: POINT (112820.87254042 513493.83730794) Grok conversion: POINT (112820.87254042 513493.83730794)

Hello,I’m using a Python Caller in an FME workspace. In the python script I’m trying to read in a gpkg file using the code below: #import geopandas as gpdimport pandas as pdimport osdef FeatureProcessor(feature):        path_gpkg = feature.getAttribute('path_gpkg')    print(path_gpkg)    print("file exists - ", os.path.exists(path_gpkg))    gdf = gpd.read_file(path_gpkg)However, I get an error saying:Python Exception <DataSourceError>: '/xxx/abc.gpkg' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognized as a supported dataset name.It is strange because the line ‘print("file exists - ", os.path.exists(path_gpkg))’ returns True.Has anyone come across anything similar?Thanks :)

We are upgrading from 2019.2.1.0 to 2023.1 ​I have many AGOL feature services with attachments that we read and then write to a local database for archiving.​For example, I have a feature service that has about 50,000 point features. Only 4 of them have attachments (500K jpegs). I have it set to read in batches of 1,000.​In 2019, if I read this feature service with Attachments = Yes, it takes about 1 minute to read everything. If I open the same workspace in 2023 and run it without updating the reader, it times out every time. Sometimes it doesn't even log that it reads the first 1000 before timing out in about 7-10 minutes. Other times it has read for over an hour but still times out. If I disable attachment reading, it reads quickly in 2023.  If I upgrade the reader to 2023, the reading still times out when attachment reading is enabled. The same is true for FME server. On our old

I feel like I must be missing something obvious but so far have not been able to resolve.  I have published a Web Layer from Arc Pro to our organizational AGOL account.  This Web Layer feature service contains three sub-layers.  I’d like to update only one of the sub layers using FME.  This works fine if I publish each layer as its own service, but if published as a single service with multiple sub-layers, I can’t figure out how to target only a single sub-layer. Publishing these as a single multi-layer service has the advantage of keeping them ordered together on AGOL.When I open FeatureWriter to set parameters, I can select the overall feature service, but not an individual sub-layer.  I suppose I can run it without specifically identifying which of the sub layers I am targeting but am a little hesitant as I’m not sure how it would know which of the sub-layers I’m attempting to update.  Here is screen shot of my FeatureWriter interface below.  Road Rock is the featur

Hi,So I have a DGN. I am reading it in (not exploding cells so its just one point) and then changing its coordinate systems. I want to then reexport a dgn. The problem is if I want the cells to show up in the output DGN I need a cell library. Is there a way that I can just use the definitions of the cells in the original file (without having to make a cell library every time out of it) when I write it? Like you can with the DWG writer. They are exactly what I want.I know this question has been asked before, but that was 10 years ago and there was a few changes to the writer a few years ago.At the moment I am limited to what is in version 2023.1Thanks

Hi,I have a point cloud with colour values. Eg the first image. I would like to make an RGB raster of this at a specified ground size (0.5m2).However, whenever I try to do this with the image rasteriser I get nodata pixels everywhere. This is because only about half of my data has a higher density than 0.5m2. Eg the second image.So what I would like to do is either replace nodata values with an interpolated value (say the nearest colour, or bilinear) or make it correctly in the first place, at my desired size, so that there are no nodata values at all. As in its one continuous rasterDoes anyone know how to do this? I haven’t successfully been able to work it out.I sho

Hi,I need help how to use Fanout and not sure if this is a bug or not.  Using Workbench 2024.1.1 Using DWG as a reader and then change the parameter to Geometry and selected lines. Add the AttributeFilter to import the feature cache type Add the data as a writer to write new feature name.  Am I doing something wrong or need some tweak work ?

Hello.So we have a FME Flow set up on a Microsoft Azure machine that is causing some problems for our Spanish and German colleagues. More specifically that when their data (mainly KML’s) that contains one of their local language characters is being sent through our Flow tools then the process fails due to “invalid byte ‘local character’ at position 1 of a 6-byte sequence’.Due to the fact that our users are using diverse data formats then most of our Flow apps use generic readers where they select the format of their input data in a published parameter dropdown that is then feed into the “Input format” of the reader. We are not allowing the feature reader to figure it out itself due to limitations of GeoJson’s and GML’s.So far I cant see that you can change the character encoding parameters in the Generic reader like you can in specific readers, such as the shapefile one (correct me if I am wrong). So I have instead tried to change the Regional settings of the se

I have a COG with a scale factor (excerpt from GDALInfo)Band 1 Block=1024x1024 Type=Int32, ColorInterp=Gray  Min=-50313.000 Max=57304.000  Minimum=-50313.000, Maximum=57304.000, Mean=4745.177, StdDev=7550.452  NoData Value=-32767  Offset: 0,   Scale:0.1How do I apply this scale factor in FME?   If I clip the input and create a new tif,  the scale factor is dropped and the values are 10 times the expected.In this particular case I can just scale the value back down, but in general, is there a way to retrieve the scale factor and apply it? 

Hi ,  Is there a way can I put a new longtitude and latitude in these fields in  The reason I am asking is because this is in the wrong place . This is in near and off the Nicaragua and I need this number to be in Leadville, Colorado .Is that possible ?

Hi all,The data in my geodatabase file has an attached layer for each data layerI want to perform some transformer in FME and got the error:“An error occurred while attempting to open an insert cursor on the table 'XXX'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216556'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Objects in this class cannot be updated outside an edit session [DMA]}GEODATABASE_FILE writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details”I found the solution is to change the setting in Transactions Type to Edit SessionBut after setting, some layers can perform the conversion but some layers get the error:“An error oc

Hi,I’am using FME Workbench 2022 with ArcGIS desktop 10.8.1 and ArcGIS Pro 3 on the same machine. When I try to load a feature class only compatible with ArcGIS Pro (containing arcade expression), FME continues to use ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1 librairies despite the transation / Esri ArcGIS Compatibility set  to Auto or ArcGIS Pro.
