Data

The next screenshot is reading a corrupt geospatialPDF. Result: It gets the page points, at the well known zero-island. The extent shows the points (~pixels if you like) of the original pdf. 595x842pt I know the coordinate system. LL84. Therefore I could overrule the coordinate system. But what happens is that the reader thinks there is no coordinate system. Therefore everything is considered page-points(595x842) And these coordinates are treated as lat,lngs. Projecting this geometry all over the ("edges" of the) worldThe settings of the reader:The behavior of the first option would be in my mind.Geospatial (if possible or over ruled). Is this a known limit and is there a way to read such document anyways with the right coordinates?

After completing the setup of the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) reader for Oracle, the following error occurs: "Unable to read from the table/feature class 'schema.table'. If 'schema.table' contains a class extension, make sure it is registered on this computer. It may be that 'schema.table' contains a feature type that is only available in ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Server. If so, please install required ArcGIS Product, or if required product already installed, update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'. To update setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python Compatibility". Please note that I changed my real database info to "schema.table" for security. I tried changing the Python version to 2.7, but I get the same error. I also tried creating the connection file in both Arc Pro 2.6.3 and Arc Catalog 10.6, but I got the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Safers! I read Text Files as Whole text at once but I need convert files not in UTF-8 to UTF-8 before reading. This is because FME needs to know the encoding when it reads the file.  I figure one easy way to do this is to store the files to a temp folder and via the SystemCaller run some windows command to convert the files not already in UTF-8 (this can be more than thousands of files so preferably I can convert only the files that needs converting) before reading them with the Text File reader with Character Encoding set to UTF-8. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this in an easy way? Preferably within the FME script if possible... Kind regards, Peter

I am trying to create mtext leaders and I am trying to follow the documentation which has these attributes and I have tried to create text adder at last point on leader line and then write a unique annotation handle to autocad on both leader line and text but the entities are not associated when I open in autocad.Can I not create text in a leader?

I have a contour dataset, which I want to clip into tiles. The contours and tiles are both in shapefile format, GDA2020 datum (Zone 55)Half of the output shapefiles are okay, but half have no geometry.

I'm wondering how I can make a request with SSL using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service reader. No matter what I do, FME continnue sto try to access via HTTP instead of HTTPS. I'm reading a features service hosted in ArcGIS Online into FME Workbench 2020 64 bit. Last week I was able to connect to a service using the Feature Service reader without issue. But our admin team converted the ESRI organization to require HTTPS only, which seems to coincide with the 403 error I'm receiving. I've remade the web connections, tried to reconfigure the feature service URL to use HTTPS, with no luck. I receive this error This may be a temporary server issue, or insufficient permissions. The error code from the server was '403' and the message was: 'SSL Required'Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'ARCGISONLINEFEATURES' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. S

Hi Team,I need assistance in optimizing the FME package. I am new to FME. I have a workbench with reader as OGC Geopackage and writers as csv,shp, json (same data but created different output). I have 5 geopackages . I need to update the reader everytime in order to create the output files. I cannot join or merge these files. Is there any way, after one reader reads 1.gpkg and completed the flow, it pick 2.gpkg and continue execution till last available package. Also I want to update the writer dynamically based on the input files. In SSIS, we have a for each loop container. Is there any way to loop through the files and creates output files. Currently, I am changing the readers and writer to execute one gpkg. So if I have 5 inputs, I am changing reader and writer everytime. This is manual process and high chances of human error.

Hi, I have troubles opening the attached geopackage, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. It opens nicely in QGIS (where it displays the rasters) and with a SQLite client I'm able to access the tables.  The error is : "OGCGEOPACKAGE reader: `IHC Krimpen online - Progress - GRD - Version 1_20200409 204806.gpkg' exists but could not be opened. File contents may be invalid, or the file format may not be supported"Using FME 2020.1

FME(R) 2020.2.0.0 (20201027 - Build 20787 - WIN64) Hello Whilst troubleshooting an automated workflow, I realised that FME was actually reading the Zipped file using the wrong format.It happens when I drag and drop the zip file. (I, unfortunately, cannot share the files.) I tried a different approach, which was to unzip the files then re-compress them again in case it was a "corrupt" archive, but same result. ThanksSameer  

Hello FME'ers  I am using FME 2013 SP2 to bulk load data into PostGIS 9.2 from Oracle 10 using a very simple workbench.  I can set the attribute names to lower case in the PostGIS writer (as well as create the GIST index, sequence and primary key) but I also need to set the table names / feature type name to lowercase.  I have several hundred tables to copy over and it would be nice to change case automagically rather than manually editing the workbench.  Any suggestions?  Thanks  Ross

Asking on behalf of a client: they're writing to Oracle and getting an error regarding an UTF-8 string that can't be converted to Windows-1252. I can't seem to find a way to set the encoding on the Oracle writer, is this handled in the database definition itself (i.e. outside of FME)?

Hi, I have a problem where I use DWGstyler to assign different colors to different blocks, but when I open the file in CAD, all these blocks have the same color in red. I am new to FME and hope someone can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!

HiI am importing Points along with their attachments from ArcGIS Online. I am using sde writer with the new option of preserving GlobalIDs. the issue is it runs smoothly on feature class but with table initially it runs fine and stores the data but at the end it gives me this error.  

I am running FME Desktop 2019.1 and am trying to output the results of a Feature Merger to a csv file but I want to add an additional row in the csv file before I have the column headersieI want the output to look like this:but I can only get this:in excel it would look like this: FORMAT ASSET DETAILS , STANDARD 1.0    REGNAMEASSETNBRTMPLASSNBRDESCRLONGDESCRSHORTDESCRASSETTYPEASSETSTATFLEET1000000090000000Sj300 2019 White Ls Colorado 4 X 4 DieseSj300 2019 White Ls Colorado 4 X 4 Diesel (Ranger 4) SJ300Sj300 2019 White Ls SN Is there a way to do this?Preferred output is csv but if i its do-able to excel that will suffice.Thanks in advance

In FME, I have a File Geodatabase Reader (merged feature type). I would like FME to group features by fme_feature_type and output each feature type to a port.   I have gotten close with the attribute pivoter, but haven't had any luck writing counts.    Does anyone have any suggestions? What I'd Like to accomplish: Almost got it with attribute pivoter:My settings for attribute pivoter:  Thank You

I try to read an IFC with IfcReinforcingBars. All attributes etc gets read in FME correctly, however there is no visible geometry. I can not share the data, but wonder if there are certain elements/geometrire FME does not read from IFC? I tried the 3 different IFC-readers, and also different settings on the reader with no luck. Examining the features in FME Data inspector shows no geometry. But it seems to be aggregates and Geometry Instances. I also tried the GeometryInstantiator to see if I could get the geometry. https://www.safe.com/transformers/geometry-instantiator/ An image of IfcReinforcingBars can be found on this page for instance: https://github.com/xBimTeam/XbimGeometry/issues/74  

Hi There,As per the title, I am having trouble connecting to an ArcSDE geodatabase using a connection file. I can confirm that I am able to connect to the database in ArcMap/ArcCatalog so my feeling is that there is nothing wrong with the connection file, but possibly some other issue that I am having trouble trying to resolve.I am running FME 2018.1 32-bit and have also tested this in FME 2017.1 32-bit to no avail. I can also confirm that I also have the 32-bit Oracle Instant Client (12.2) installed and configured correctly. I am currently running Windows 7, but I have also tested on a colleagues computer (32bit FME 2018.1 and 32 bit Instant Client) who is running Windows 10, and we both receive exactly the same error.The error that I am receiving is the following:---------------------------Fetching Feature Types Error---------------------------<b>Failed to retrieve feature types.</b><p>Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '

I am having issues connecting to one of our elastic databases. The error I am getting is Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'ELASTICSEARCH' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. Any ideas what how to fix.

I'm specifically trying to find out what versions of PostgreSQL & PostGIS(non-raster) are supported by FME "Desktop professional" version 2020.1.2. More generally it would be good to know if there is a place we can find this information for ongoing versions of various FME platforms. I have tried looking in these places... https://docs.safe.com/fme/2020.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/postgis/postgis.htmhttps://downloads.safe.com/fme/2020/whatsnew_2020_1_3.txthttps://downloads.safe.com/fme/2020/whatsnew_2020_0_3.txtbut could only find (in the last link) that some fixes were done to support PostgreSQL 12+

Is it possible to publish an elevation raster as an Elevation layer / Web Layer in FME? Similar to this screen in Arcgis Pro: By using a regular writer or AGOLConnector?By pythonscript? Described here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/sharing/overview/web-elevation-layer.htm 

I'm currently putting together a FME workspace that reads data from a DB2 database. As I didn't have any driver installed, I followed this guide to install them in my computer. I'm using the db2jcc4.jar driver, Everything works fine. I sent the same workspace to a client. They had installed the DB2 dirvers, so I told them to copy the db2jcc4.jar one to the plugins folder of the FME installation. When they run the worskpace, the db2jcc4.jar is ignored and FME uses the db2jcc.jar that is found in their IBM products installation, instead of the driver in the plugin folder. Is there a way of forcing FME to use the db2jcc4.jar driver? With the other one, FME reads the alias of the fields instead of the names, which provokes several errors. We are using a FME Desktop 2018.1 in a Windows machine. Thanks for any help provided!

Hello, I have a few DGN files where I want to separate the data depending on what layer they belong to. In Microstation I can see that the objects in the file is on a level, ex "Växel spårspärr bef V". But when I check the data in FME inspector all igds_level_names and fme_feature_type are set to "ECT_DGRM_RFPT_MARK". Anyone know why they are different and how to solve this?

I have several point-based datasets that I need to consolidate into an existing point dataset while maintaining all the attributes for each layer. How can I do this? Thank you

Hi all, I've been asked to read a WMS which starts with a regular looking URL, which then forwards to a URL which is proving difficult. The URL looks as follows -http://<url>.co.uk/WMS/MS/7.2.1/mapserv.exe?map=D:\\Websites\\<service>\\Services\\WMSSHARE\\map\\Layers.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1 The part that's giving me trouble is where the D:\\ is. I've tried enclosing the URL in speechmarks and using a pythonCaller to workaround this, but so far I've had no luck. I managed to get the URL changed once, but it just forwards to this one, which is causing issues. Has anyone else experienced something like this? 

In our Local Authority, we're considering using FME for automating certain actions that are recurrent and would make Gazetteer maintenance more bearable. We already use a Gazetteer software, but we believe that there are actions that could be more automated, and our software doesn't do.We'd like to hear stories and experiences form users that have attempted similar things using FME, or even other ETL solutions such as Python.
