Data

Any thoughts on why this Transformer would work, and then just stop working with this error when trying to browse Sites in the transformer ? Nothing has changed on eh FME Side, and I do not think anything has changed on the SharePoint side

Hello,I'm trying to create geometry from Sql Server geometry Blob to shapefile. I'm trying geometryextractor but it is not working.(I can not create geometry in Sql server; I can only read data).Thanks for help

FME 2021.2.3.0 (20220131 - Build 21812 - WIN64) I want to query an OGC API feature service by an attribute, to be precise, by a list of attributes.In my case, I‘m trying to query the cadastral parcel service of North Rhine-Westphalia by cadastral parcel numbers: https://ogc-api.nrw.de/lika OGC API - Features (WFS 3.0) Reader:Defining the parcel number as static parameter value works fine.Injecting the parcel number as published parameter works as well.But the 2 ways above are static. I have a list of cadastral parcel numbers to be processed.Normally the FeatureReader transformer is the method of choice to inject attributes into a reader.But this time, it fails!Obviously the FeatureReader doesn’t compose the query the right way and sends a bulk request to the service: https://ogc-api.nrw.de/lika/v1/collections/nutzung_flurstueck/items?f=json&offset=80What’s going wrong? Best regardsOliver 

I've read the documentation on how to connect to Google Maps with an origin and a destination parameter; https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/get-started Now, let's assume that I have an Excel sheet with columns for origins and destinations, for maybe 100 posts. Is it possible to use FME to send these to Google Maps and then get each of the calculated travel times back, to create a "travel time" column for the excel sheet?

With the DGNStyler you can set a fill color, but is has to be a value. In Microstation there is an option to set 'No Fill' (see screenshot below).  Is it possbile to set a no fill directly in FME (with the DGNStyler or otherwise)? I tried a few things with 'igds_fill_color' and 'fme_fill_color'; however so far no success.   

I have parcel boundaries, And i need to create outer boundary for parcels using some attribute name. In my group there are 4 types of attributes will come (attribute value a,b,c, and d) so i need to create 4 outer boundaries.NO OVERLAPS on outer boundaries. and are gaps between parcels and sometimes parcels are far from each other. Pls anyone can help me? i tried hull , but hull overlaps some cases.

Aside from 2 sparse mentions in FME docs and a video discussing how to use the JSON Reader to parse a STAC that might be hosted out on the net somewhere I don't see anyone talking about FME and STAC - Spatial Temporal Asset Catalogs. Is anyone been working on tools, in or out of FME, that build said catalogs? We've got ~20 years of imagery stashed here and there on our servers. It would be good to get them indexed in a STAC to increase discoverability within our org. (And for those which are not contemplating building Stacs, what are you doing instead?)

Hello, I would like to transform LAS files to LTF files using FME. I read that LTF format isnt supported in FME unless i install Leica Geosystems TPS Reader extension. Can someone tell me how to do that? thanks

If I use a PostGIS Reader, to inspector, on a table, it shows the geometry. If I use a SQLCreator using POSTGIS format, doing a select * from same table, it shows fme no geom, is that normal for a SQL to not show the geometry ?

I try to use the new CSW Reader.  At the moment i only get the summary version of the metadata. I´m looking for a way to set the get-Parameters, so i can specify:&resultType=results&outputFormat=application/xml&outputSchema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&typeNames=csw:RecordMaybe some of you has an idea. best regardsandylicht

Is there a way to convert an fgdb point file with attachments to sqlserver? Should the photo attachments be stored outside of sqlserver in a separate file? I can convert the point file but how to handle the associated attachments is the problem. thanks 

Hi, I run a workspace in FME Workbench 2021 that outputs text files to D drive of the Computer. How do a enable FME to output text files to a server (file director) location?

Hi everyone,I am stuck with the FeatureReader and I manage to read a table out of the database when I keep the WHERE clause empty, however when I fill in the WHERE clause based on the user choice of a choice list saved in a parameter "NAAM_BUURT" and I want to match it with the column also called "NAAMBUURT" I don't get an output. I just get schema data, while I also indicate that I want data features. Does anyone might know what I might be doing wrong? By th way I am using FME Desktop 2022.2.1.   

Hello! FME Novice here, running Workbench 2021.1.3.1I'm trying to update a multipoint feature class in AGOL using FME, but am receiving the following error: <class 'fmeobjects.FMEPoint'> cannot be converted to esriGeometryMultipointI tried using Aggregator to ensure the points are multipoint but receive this error when I try this method:  0.0|ERROR |<class 'fmeobjects.FMEAggregate'> cannot be converted to esriGeometryMultipoint 0.0|ERROR |ARCGISONLINEFEATURES writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details Can FME handle multipoint  updates for ArcGIS Online? It has no problem with polylines, so I was hopeful on multipoints. Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance!  

Relatively recently we've acquired FME Server and are in the process of converting workbenches we had run previously via task scheduler. We have quite a few already and I am interested in suggestions (or articles) that anyone has on how to best document or organize the workspaces. There might need to end up being some trial and error regardless, but I would like to avoid some pitfalls on the front-end if possible. The most relevant search result I found was this, but doesn't seem to apply directly to what I'm looking for: https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0r4Q00000HbsC7QAJ/best-practices-document-for-fme-server Thank you!

Hello! It is possible to add a CGXML file into ArcGIS Desktop via data interoperability? Also the CGXML file can be converted to a shapefile via import? I can also add or send a cgxml file if needed. Thank you!

Hi, I have a host feature layer on Portal 10.8.1 and want to use a date where query. Documentation from ESRI point to being able to use Intervals in the query but when I try to use in the Portal Feature Service reader the server returns a 400 error.  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/api-rest/data-management/querying-feature-services-date-time-queries/ It appears you can only use a proportion of a day in the FME query. The help page FME desktop points you to from ESRI isn't exactly that informative. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/sql-agol.htm  Is this a Portal versus AGOL difference? This works:"created_date" >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() - 0.015 This doesn't:"created_date" >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '15' MINUTE If anyone can point me to a definitive page with the documentation for where datetime queries for hosted Portal feature layers.... 😀  Thanks,Peter   

I have a CSV with coordinates. I've put a vertex creator in the workspace and outputting it to an ArcGIS Online feature service. I can successfully write out into ArcGIS Online, however when I open up the feature service in AGOL and Pro, I can't see the points. Yes, I've checked the transparency and visibility range. When I open up the attribute table all the data is there. When I select all, it shows the points are there. Only when selected though. Why is this?

I have followed the tutorials available and also tried following other questions on the forum on this topic. Workspace template with data cache included.

Unable to get the Web Service to Authenticate (redirect url)BTW, we are no longer allowed to use our personal accounts for Auth, therefore we have Service Account files we use. Therefore, unable to create a Web conn either. Only way I can create a writer is to select Service Account file and define the table myself. Then I preface the writer with a PythonCaller to get the creds.When defining a NUMERIC in the writer, does not allow me to specify width/precision. Any updates to this writer planned soon? 

Hi, I have a workspace I am wanting to upgrade from FME 2019.2.3.2 to 2022.2. It creates geopackages that could be read in either QGIS 3.22 (late 2021 release) or ArcGIS Pro 2.6.10. We just tested and they also open in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5 (Oct 2022 release).Upon upgrading (with or without changing the feature writer to specifically use the new OGC Geopackage writer format) ArcGIS Pro can no longer read the output. QGIS can read it fine.Whilst I presume this is likely an esri compatibility issue, what I am wondering is what the underlying SQLite version is, and what the Geopackage version is - I could not find this in the documentation of the writer (easily - forgive me if I have missed something)?I then have something to check against the esri compatibility as they list out the versions supported. Cheers John

Hi, I have a dataset in .dbf format, with 885 rows. When I read the file in FME it reads the 885 rows, but when I use the DuplicateFilter it tells me I have 330 unique rows and the rest are duplicates.  But actually all these 885 rows are unique, I can see that when I look at the file using ArcGIS Pro, and my colleague have looked at the file in another text-application. So it seems FME keeps the total number correct, 885, but changes some unique numbers so they are duplicates somehow. In AGP:In FME: How can this happen? I have tried reading the file both using the "normal" .dbf-writer, as well zipping the file and using Creator > ParameterFetcher > FeatureReader > FeatureReader > AttributeExposer.  

Hi all,  I have an WFS from a vendor that contains several polygons and associated attribute information. When I attempt to read via the OGC WFS reader, I encounter an error: <WFS> An error occurred while reading a GetFeature response, to ignore the error and avoid losing the previously read features, set the WFS "Ignore GetFeature Error" parameter. Total features downloaded: '0'As instructed, I've attempted to modify this setting, but continue to receive this error even when I've set to ignore.  I've tried several iteration of different settings in the reader to attempt to resolve to no avail. I have noticed that if I enable the option to Disable XML Namespace Processing that I no longer receive the error, but I still do not get any returns -- perhaps there is some other setting I should investigate? I'm certain that this is specific to the reader as I am able to view returns from this WFS URL via httpCaller, Postman, and as a ArcGIS Online serv
