Data

Hi there, I'm curious as to why the newly created attribute in my workspace is not showing up by default when I go to the visual preview table view. I've had this happen before but I cannot find what governs this. Is there a toggle? The default behaviour should be that it shows up in the table so I can see that it's been created. I can find it in the list of available columns but it is a pain if I'm having to rerun the routine a lot. Anyone know how to change this? Using ver2020.1 but have experienced this issue on previous versions. Below example of my new attribute "Quality Level".

Hello,  I have a shape file with few streets and I would like to extract all coordinates forming each line/street inside a new Attribute. Taking a look at picture attached, I would like to copy all sets of coordinates from IFMELine to a new attribute that I will be creating.Any ideas how to solve this issue? Thank you very much!

We use to be able to read data from an Oracle Synonym pointing to a table via a database link. But now we are getting a strange error and are unable to see the attributes any more. Warning: Unable to use schema obtained for Oracle Spatial layer 'schema.table' We are getting the same error from both "Oracle Autonomous Non-Spatial" and "Oracle Non-Spatial" that use to work before. I have looked into this article https://community.safe.com/s/article/working-with-synonyms-in-oracle and executed the command on a test synonym without any luck.  Have somebody else seen this issue before and have any knowledge of how to get it working again. We are not sure what happened, suggestions are much welcome. The synonyms work just fine with normal SQL, it's just FME Desktop we see issues. We are running Oracle 12.0.1 on Windows in a test/developer environment. FME 2020.1.1.1 (20200817 - Build 20614 - WIN64)FME Desktop Professional Edition Oracle 12.0.1 Client 64-bit -

Hi, I am very new to FME! I am using the data interoperability extension of ArcGIS pro. I want to convert an IFC file to geodatabase feature classes, any tips on where to start or what tutorials or transformers to use? thanks

 i have a model, that has been runned every day, and worked great. Now i am getting an error, while reading a feature layer from database. Can someone help me? Rebooting and ading new connections didnt work. The model stucked, nothing happenes

I have a sample file from a gridded wave model for a small section on the South coast of England, ie it is a lat/long grid covering a few hours with 11 variables (wave height, wave period, that sort of thing) for each hour. I can view the file with Panoply.While the larger spatial overview is great, I would love to extract a time series for a couple of grid cells with all parameters so i can for example compare the data with measured wave buoy data.It should be quite easy as the the output should just be a table with the 11 variables as columns and each hour as a row (in a date/time format), but given the netcdf format this does not seem quite so straight forward - at least at my level of FME understanding :-) .Not urgent but any pointers would be very welcome.Thanks!

Looking to drop a shp file into workspace and extract the data type of each field. e.g. Address.shp may have fields StreetName (text) and StreetNumber (int). I would like to be able to extract the type for each field:StreetName - fme_char(254)StreetNumber - fme_int32 I understand that FME maps the Data Types from different files based on the reader being used to an equivalent FME Data Type https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/!FeatureTypeProperties/attribute_types.htm

Hello,  I'm trying to get a workspace going to read in a .dgn of some modeled power lines and then write them to a datasmith package. The dgn is read in okay but no assets are written by the datasmith writer. The Udatasmith file is created but there is no info in it and the scene_assets folder is empty.I would also like to set-up a writer to bring a DEM into Unreal so any if you have any suggestions there it would be greatly appreciated. I know it's\\important to have Imagery/surfaces tiled properly for Unreal.  Cheers,

Hi I have a problem with overwriting the existing gdb file.. Scenario: There is a new data that I need to insert/update into the gdb file without having to create a new gdb file... I have tried by using shp as reader and gdb as writer (It works) but when I uses gdb as reader and the same gdb as writer (Because I need the updated/new data to be in the same gdb file -FAILED).... I tried to look into the error but there is no clear explanation in the translation log.... Can anyone help me out on this? 

Hi FME server experts,When I am trying to run my workbench from FME server which read the data from arcSDE GDB i feced the below error :"Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase.

I have over 30 dwg files. Is there any way I read all at once but I filter them based their file name (1.dwg, 2.dwg)? I need to create Convexthull per dwg file and find out whether they are overlapping.  When I read all dwg file by choosing (Single Merged Feature type) it comes like this .

I created a workspace that reads buildings from an existing CityGML dataset, sets appearance (color) to them with the AppearanceSetter, saves them as a new CityGML dataset, then uploads the dataset to Cesium ion with the CesiumIonConnector. Destination dataset has been successfully created and the buildings are shown with expected color with FME Data Inspector.Uploading to Cesium ion was also succeeded, but the buildings are shown with no color. Is there any way to set a color to CityGML buildings showing on Cesium ion, through FME workspace?

I am using Esri Geodatabase Reader/Writer

Hi expert, I have a question about once publishing relationship classes and the related feature layers from ARCGIS, how to overwriting it from FME? Do I only need to overwrite the feature layers or also need to overwrite the relationship class from FME? Thanks!

Hi,  Looking to extract the transformation matrix information from an E57 pointcloud file. Is there a way to do this? I know the information can be found in FME Data Inspector.   Thanks  

I'am trying to set the top and bottom elevation for the BuildingStoreys.. The writer does not have the ifc_elevation attribute to set global and local elevations. Now the bottom elevation is always 0 and the top elevation is relative to ground zero and not the floor how it should be.

Hello everyone, please, does FME support LERC format (https://github.com/Esri/lerc)? If not, are You thinking about it? :-) Thanks a lot!Lubo

Hello!Having to write millions of homogenous point features to a file geodatabase (default Esri File Geodatabase Writer 3D, Vector), I noticed that the duration for a completed writing transaction/commit increases as the writing to the FGDB progresses. While the first transaction takes 0.4 seconds for 1000 features, the duration increases up to 1.5 seconds per 1000 features where it seems to level until the end of the writing process (there are no other process running):0.0|INFORM|Transaction #1 was successfully committed0.4|INFORM|MULTI_WRITER: multi_writer_id `1': Writing feature 10000.0|INFORM|Transaction #2 was successfully committed0.5|INFORM|MULTI_WRITER: multi_writer_id `1': Writing feature 2000...0.0|INFORM|Transaction #328 was successfully committed1.0|INFORM|MULTI_WRITER: multi_writer_id `1': Writing feature 328000...0.0|INFORM|Transaction #503 was successfully committed1.4|INFORM|MULTI_WRITER: multi_writer_id `1': Writing feature 503000...0.0|INFORM|Transaction #2289 was suc

How different is SQLCreator from SQL SMS when writing an update query?.Note: Not spatial data, just basic Feature to Feature compare to update and create my tblIriRut2020 table.  This is our SQL SMS Code from last year, the 2020 will be a .csv reader in FMEUPDATE [Preservation].[dbo].[tblIriRut2019]   SET AADT = tblAnnualTrafficSCD.AADT_Year1      FROM tblIriRut2019 tblIriRut2019 LEFT JOIN tblAnnualTrafficSCD tblAnnualTrafficSCD ON tblIriRut2019.RoadName = tblAnnualTrafficSCD.ROADNAME AND    tblIriRut2019.FromKM >= tblAnnualTrafficSCD.FromKM AND    tblIriRut2019.FromKM < tblAnnualTrafficSCD.ToKM  Replace tblIriRut2019 with my Initiator (currently only 3050100MUA feature)I'm not sure how to share my SQL connection data in a .fme so you can have a real life sample.  Another option:If the SQLCreator cannot handle this, how do I make a where clause in a transformer like FileMerger so I can have a multiple WHERE clause with Functions like Less than or equal to?  

Hi,I'm facing a strange situation with MsWordStyler and Word Writer. I need to add a table to create a report from a feature. If I don't use a template, I can chose different styles for a table with the styler. The output of the table is correct. Trying to use a template, the only option to use a template is to select "Normal Table" as table style. Any other style produce the following error:"Microsoft Word Writer: Rejecting Feature. The msword_type value 'msword_table' is invalid. Please use a MSWordStyler prior to this writer to set the msword_type attribute". Is there some hints or best practices to follow creating the template?Paragraph and image work fine with the same template.ThanksRoberto

Has anyone ever encountered an issue with applying updates to an Oracle Non Spatial database using the writer and fme_db_operation? Have a number of records exiting a ChangeDetector that are a mix of inserts and updates. If there are any updates, the workspace hangs and fails to complete. Applying the updates using the DatabaseUpdater works fine and the process completes in 20ish minutes.  Is there anything in the Writer that I might be missing before I rejig the workspace? There are 6 match columns (there is a 6 part primary key that also references these columns) The process should be making a couple of hundred updates to a table of ~1.5 million records. If there are updates present, the logging stops as soon as the first feature hits the writer and never progresses (left 14+ hours) FME 2019.2.3.1
