Data

Hi, I have a postgis (12) table with 2 geometry columns.  The first column is defined as geometry (geometry, 3857). The second column is defined as geometry (geometryZ, 3857). Consequently, the postgis geometry_columns view shows 2 entries, indicating 2 dimensions for the first column, and 3 dimensions for the second column. When writing 3D data to this table, I select the 3D column in the writer properties. This gives a warning in the log: POSTGIS Writer: PostGIS existing table has a 2D constraint My data is forced to 2D, but this is not accepted by Postgis, and my translation fails. When I remove the 2D geometry column form my table, all 3D data is inserted without errors.Apart from just using the 3D column and forcing all data to 3D in FME and then back again to 2D in my application, I do not see another solution. Is there another way to work around this?  I'm using FME FME(R) 2020.1.0.1 (20200710 - Build 20596 - WIN64) Thanks, 

Dose FME require Arcgis Pro or Server in order to be able to write in file geodatabase?

How can I force that first symbol of generated passwords always be letter? I'm using this:import fmeobjectsimport randomimport string def processFeature(feature):    length = int(FME_MacroValues['Lenght'])        letters = 'abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ'    digits = '123456789'    symbols = '!#$%*+-:;<=>?'    all = letters + digits + symbols    temp = random.sample(all,length)        password = "".join(temp)    feature.setAttribute('Password', password) 

Hi, I'd like to save raster to the JPEG format. The raster includes an alpha band. In order to save to JPEG the alpha band needs to be removed. When the alpha band is there the background appears white in FME Inspector. When I remove the alpha band the background turns black. That's also the background color when I save the raster to JPEG. How can I work around this problem and make the background white when I save to JPEG? With the alpha band. White background.Without the alpha band. The background turns black. I don't want that.

When I clip raster by shape file by using clppper transformer I 'v used it in fme from arcgis pro v.2.5. I notice that the output raster extent could not exactly same as of shape file. They are not identical. Please someone kindly describe me and clue some resolution about this problems.

How do i set FME Workbench to write a GeoTiff with the PixelIsPoint header? Every setting i try writes a world file with the coördinates of the middle of the top left corner pixel and a model tie point with the top left corner of the top left pixel and a PixelIsArea header. QGis and Arcgis pro show the correct position with the current settings but Autodesk seems to shift the file half a pixel. I tried to fix this with the "Ignore Raster Type Key" setting or the "Write esri compatible coordinate system". I tried setting the RasterCellOrigin to 0,0 or 0.5,0.5 But all files seem the same. Loading an ASC file looks correct. This file contains the lower left corner of the file. Center of the attached files is 155000 463000    

I've been given a CSV file that has a mixture of line ending types, some are LF and some are CR.  The first line is blank with a LF, followed by a header line with a CR then all the data records which are terminated with LF's. The CSV reader is thinking the terminator is LF so thinks the header line is both lines 2 and 3 which is messing it up. Other than reading the file in as a whole and changing the CR to LF, saving it and reading it in again does anyone know how to read this in?

I need this for my post-graduation project and I would be very grateful to you guys if you can do this for me😥 😥

Greetings, One of the sales pitches for FME is that it handles IFC well. Safe also recommends IFC as the transport format from Revit to FME.Imagine my surprise when I get the following message when trying to parse a file containing IFC rebar elements:"The IFC reader does not support the following type: 'IfcSweptDiskSolid'. All instances of this type will be skipped" So, in other words FME has poorer support for IFC than many open source converters? Is this correct or is there any way to augment or rectify this situation?If so FME will remain a viable tool for us, otherwise we'll have to move elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a trajectory file with GPS time and coordinates from Mobile Mapper Ladybug camera and want to convert to .gpx file. The structure of .gpx seems to require quite a few additional attributes. Anyone has any ideas or suggestions of how to process CSV?Regards,Maksym

Hi, I have a feature reader pulling data back from a WFS The Ignore get feature error is ticked. Yet when I run the task I get the following error: 2019-10-15 10:21:38| 9.8| 0.0|ERROR |XML Parser error: 'Error in input dataset:'https://geoserver.xxx.com:443/geoserver-cluster/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=workspace%3Abasin_provinces&NAMESPACE=xmlns%28workspace%3Dworkspace%29&FILTER=%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cogc%3AFilter%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cogc%3APropertyIsGreaterThan%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cogc%3APropertyName%3Echangedetect_date%3C%2Fogc%3APropertyName%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cogc%3ALiteral%3E20180101%3C%2Fogc%3ALiteral%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3C%2Fogc%3APropertyIsGreaterThan%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3

I have the new version. The old one used to do it easily.

Hi, I often get this messeage when I try to read PDF documents (floor plans) as raster. When I try to read the same PDFs as vector it works fine. But I just want to read the PDFs as raster because I want to convert the PDF documents to the PNG-format. How can I avoid this message? My estimate is that I can only read approximately 25% of the PDF documents I would like to read. I use the featureReader to read the "Adobe Geospatial PDF"-format.  The log says: Merged 0 schema features read from 1 datasets into 0 resulting feature typesUniversalReader -- readSchema resulted in 0 schema features being returned  

Hi there,I use FME Desktop to bulk-load to elasticsearch. I'm building a new application based on elasticsearch 7.1.1 but mapping types were removed ahead of this version;https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.htmlAre there plans to update the reader/writer to be compatible with elasticsearch 7?Thanks,Campbell

Should I use any transformers? Can someone help me with the exact inputs I have to give to the software to convert a Revit/IFC file into ArcGIS file

I have a folder containing hundreds of tif and related extension files e.g. NS26.tif, NS26.aux and NS26.rrd. I want to rename them adding a suffix i.e. NS26_c.tif, NS26_c.aux etc. I can manage this using filecopy to the existing folder but because the filename has changed overwrite won't work so I end up with new and old in same folder. Any suggestions?

i would like read two polygon from one reader not only one so what should i write in WHERE CLAUSE to read two polygons at the same time to execute both ofthem together .i am not expert in sql ,i am still beginner .could some one help me ? Thanks in advance 

I am using a 'PythonCreator' and 'PythonCaller' transformer to create a series of SQL select statements. The latter are used in a 'SQL Executor' transformer to read many features from an oracle db. Eventually, these features have to be written to .json files.   Because I initially used the PythonCreator, all the feature have 'fme_feature_type' set to 'PythonCreator'. When using the GEOJSON writer in FME Desktop 2017.0 (build 17259, 64 bit) , this results in an error message: 'Unknown feature type 'PythonCreator' passed to the JSON writer'. Other writers (SDF, shape, excel, etc.) work fine.If I use an attribute manager to set the 'fme_feature_type' attribute to other values, the writer works fine.   Could anyone explain why the writer has problems with an fme_feature_type named PythonCreator? I could not find an answer in the documentation on the GEOJSON writer; so that is why I am asking it on this platform.

How can I read all Paper Spaces from Acad file? I can set 'Read Selected Paper Spaces' parameter, but I need something generic like using * character.@takashi

I'm in the process of migrating a number of workbenches/workspaces from 2018 to 2020. Many of these were created years ago in much older versions of FME. So I'm meticulously going through an updating all elements in the workbench, then running it in Desktop and finally publishing to Server 2020. Running into very few issues but I can't get Desktop 2020 to read zipped GDB using the GDB reader. Where it does so in 2018, it fails in 2020.  Unable to connect to the File Geodatabase at 'path..../GDBName.zip'. Make sure the correct filename was specified, and that the geodatabase wasn't saved with a newer version of ArcGIS than the one installed locally. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147024893'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsIt will read the GDB just fine if I manually unzip it in the same location. So it's not permissions or issues with a bad GDB. Anyway, I can come up with a workaround - just wondering if th

I have almost 100 subdirectories, each with shapefiles of the same names, eg:/dir1/FileA.shp/dir1/FileB.shp/dir2/FileA.shp/dir2/FileB.shp/dir99/FileA.shp/dir99/FileB.shp Not only are there almost 100 directories, there are also about 30 shapefiles in each.Is there a smart way to get an FME workbench to read all these subdirectories (they are all stored under a common "mother directory") and files, so that I can merge them into one Shapefile each? What I want is to merge all FileA.shp into one file, all FileB.shp, into another, and so on.

read another input file and execute again my transformers, write in the writer, and so on for all my inputs files.  regards,

I am trying to connect to an ESRI basemap through a REST endpoint and utilize the resulting raster within a VectorOnRasterOverlayer, but I cannot get the raster within my workspace to work properly. Here is the URL that I pass into the ImageFetcher. This results in an image but it doesn't know its spatial placement and such. I have tried to return JSON but I don't really know what to do with it...https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer/export?bbox=-87.835947%2C31.067928%2C-87.601273%2C31.214859&bboxSR=4326&layers=&layerDefs=&size=&imageSR=&format=jpg&transparent=true&dpi=900&time=&layerTimeOptions=&dynamicLayers=&gdbVersion=&mapScale=&rotation=&datumTransformations=&layerParameterValues=&mapRangeValues=&layerRangeValues=&f=image Any help on this would be greater appreciated.

The WLAS reader can process version 2.0 and 3.0 files. Version 2.0 is very similar to 1.2 so possibly the reader can parse version 1.2 files as well.

I am wanting to set the twist angle on an existing viewport, I see twist angle in the DWG reader but I am having trouble finding how to identify the viewport in autocad since they are not named, can I use viewport order and only rotate view port with same order? After that I think it is simply a matter of inserting the proper attribute on export but I am not sure what the name of the attribute is.
