Data

I'm a bit surprised I haven't found this answered already - maybe I'm just not seeing it. When using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service writer - is it possible to define the layer ids, or layer order that will be used when creating a new feature service? I want to help ensure that the new layer ids match previous ids. Since the writer can't add new layers to an existing service, I need to delete the existing service first. Do I need to ensure the different layers are passed to the writer in the preferred order? Thanks!

Hi, I have two LAS files of same area. One is the classified data and another is unclassiffied data. I want to copy the classification from the classigied LiDAR data to Unclassified LiDAR data. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Krishna

In the documentation I see that Appearances are planned for a future release. Just wondering if this is already on a timeline somewhere: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/cityjson/quick_facts_cityjson.htm @deanatsafe​ - perhaps you're the one to ask?

I`m trying to make a strange raster, due to a specific software demanding exactly that format.  It seems to be a GeoTIFF with 1 rasterband (UINT8) that has palettes with 3 values (RGB). See below for more information. I have managed to create the 1 channel TIF with the correct value, however I struggle to add the palette, and add the correct value for each palette to each pixel. Since FME can read the file correctly, I assume it can also create such a file, however I am stuck after examining all the RasterPalette* Transformers.  Any raster-wizards out there? 

I successfully can read/write Esri Arc SDE (Geodatabase) with FME 2021.2.6 64-Bit and ArcGIS 10.8.2 + Esri BG Geoprocessing installed. So far so good. If however ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 is also installed in the same enviroment, problems arise and an error message appears, that "BG Geoprocessing is missing" and needs to be installed. What is the issue here ? How can it be solved ?It seems only uninstalling ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 solves the problem, but I need ArcGIS Server for other reasons/applications. B.T.W.: ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 is the corresponding version to ArcGIS 10.8.2, in case you wonder about the version mix ;-) Thanks for any clue about this Michael  

Also When I am trying to use Civil 3D and CAD Entities. I am getting reader error "BADNEWS: BADNEWS: No geometry mapping entry found for 'autocad_wipeout' in metafile 'C:\\Program Files\\FME_2022_1\\metafile\\CIVIL3D.fmf'. Please visit http://www.safe.com/support"

Hi! Im having a struggle to merge the "objec data" to the "block" or the actuall autocad_ellipse. When i zoom to line 1 it contains no geomtery, how can i add the object data to the ellipse (line3)?   

Hi,I have a service account that I use for connecting to our company's AWS, this works successfully for S3 and SQS and DynamoDB on a windows server. However using the same workspace, same AWS account on my laptop I get the certificate error:PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target- I've upgraded to 2021.2.6 as suggested in other posts.- I've confirmed it is not a certificate issue on my laptop because SQS and S3 are working (this didn't work before I installed the certificates).- I've confirmed it is not an issue with my AWS account permissions because I can run the workspace on the windows servers. Any ideas what the issue could be? How does the DynamoDB reader work, is it looking somewhere different for the certificates? What is the HTTP request it makes behind the scenes so I can test with other applicati

I have an AGOL reader that I read many attributes from. This works great but, I also need to read the latitude and longitude for each record. I've done searches and read documentation but can't find the answer. Can someone help me? I've attached the Parameters tab from my AGOL Reader if that's relevant. Thanks.

i have different data and i would like to have all data in one view at FME inspector to show all of them together .How could i achieve that ? Thanks in advanced .FME 2021  

Im hoping im posting this in the right category..  Im trying to connect to ArcGIS online portal using these instructions: https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-create-an-FME-Web-Connection-for-Esri-ArcGIS-Portal-Feature-Service-OAuth-2-0 Everyhing is filled in correctly but when trying to authenticate I get a window called Web Service Authentication that stays grey. What could be happening here?

Ok, reach way back into those 30 year old neurons and long un-electrified bits: is there anything in FME today that can read PAMAP GIS data files?  I have a stash of Pamap data from the 1990s to convert to a modern format such as GeoPKG or shapefiles and geoTIFF. Pamap and Safe are both BC born and raised, have overlapping time spans, and were heavily involved with BC government spatial data operations. Surely there was some interaction? Perhaps there's a SAIF v1 or FME v0.3b or in the archives somewhere that can be resurrected for this single task? (This is personal project and not associated with my day job at Yukon government. My personal google account is mistakenly tied to my work credentials on the Safe Community site. Please use maphew@gmail.com if not following up via this forum. Thanks.)

Hey All, I am trialing FME currently to see if this software is going to be able to simplify my life, and it is looking good so far! One thing I am hoping to do is a very simple "Download all attachments from AGOL feature layer".I have seen dozens of posts on this site about various processes involving AGOL features and generating reports etc with the attachments, but they are a little advanced for me at the moment. I am hoping someone can provide me with a simple workspace that I provide my AGOL feature layer, then provide an output folder location, and FME will download all attachments for me.I have had a few cracks at this but I cannot work out the attachment part, the attributes are all I can get at this stage.Can someone show me a screenshot or something showing the simplest solution to carry out this task? I got to this point but it doesn't write anything to the output folder:

Hi, I have a workspace to apply for a cutting permit that takes 3 cutblocks and aggregates them into one feature based on cutting permit and then output that directly to the HarvestApplicationWithCP output. This looks ok when the writer is redirected to the inspector, but the XML is incomplete, it only has one of the cutblocks in the HarvestApplicationWithCP portion of the XML.

Is there some special reader for Bentley AXSYS drawings format that would parse nested objects in XML and joined with the drawing?

Hello, When I inspect/read a OBJ file, the associated MTL file is not used (aka my objects are not textured). My OBJ and MTL files are both generated by Blender and their format seems correct. Thanks.

I had a WFS reader with a search envelope that is downloading point features. The search envelope used to work in a previous version of Desktop.I'm now getting the error:Unknown coordinate system '' specified.  Nothing else changed. The data is read in as EPSG:4326 and the search envelope is the same. Any ideas?  

I am encountering issues when reading text from a DGN where the text is in Microstation native fonts (e.g. igds_font = 0). I am generating PDF files from the DGN's and I need the text to look the same in the PDF as it does in Microstation. Currently, I am seeing variations in text font, as well as special character inconsistencies (e.g. degree symbols are read as ^ ). Is there a way to read Microstation fonts in FME? I have access to the font library .rsc files - can I utilize them somehow within FME?Thank you!Courtney

Hello, For a FME workflow involving hydrographic CSAR raster files both band and point coordinate information are present in the file. The point coordinate information is the location where the measurement to generate the raster file was taken. This is crucial information for a user.According to the help page of CSAR raster (CARIS Spatial Archive (CSAR) Raster Quick Facts (safe.com)) this GCP and Z-value information, which to my knowledge is the point measurement location, is not included in the functionality of the CSAR reader or writer. Is there a workaround available in FME to include this point information in the CSAR raster file ? It is important that is saved in the same manner as in the original file. If not,wou

I work for a city entity and have a federated login. I'd like to connect to ArcGIS Online in FME Data Inspector so that I can use a specific basemap. Is this possible? How can I format my credentials here?Thanks!
