Data

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create polygons with arcs (airspace) from aixm 4.5 data. I found this extremely useful workspace from @takashi i here: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/56273/how-to-create-a-good-geometry-with-coordinates-xy.htmlbut I'm having troubles with the pythoncaller to create arcs. While it works pretty well on some data subset (ead_identifier contains _EI) for others I get a "math domain error"(ead_identifier contains _EG) and I can't figure out why.Any help would be appreciated 

Hi everyone! I am new to the FME World and I am testing the following scenario:Take a spreadsheet with lots of fields as input of several tables in a Postgres database. This unload should occur once a day.Has anyone expertise on this?Using FME Workbench 2019.1, my approach is to place the xlsx file as a reader. Then, use an attribute manager to remove certain fields and leave only those that are required for a specific table abc. After, I add an Postgres writer to to receive such information.Is this a good approach? How/where do I drive the "insert" to a specific table? How it the scheduler implemented (if possible)?Thanks a lot!

Hello,FME 2020.0.1.0 build 20218 Win64I'm trying to create MS Word documents with the MSWORD writer. Everything is good for now, except Paragraph Spacing.Usually we prefer to set "Compact" or "No Paragraph Space" in any documents, but the MSWORD writer seems to always set "Open".-- from a web page in the Microsoft siteI know that the Paragraph Spacing setting in the base document would be propagated to the destination document if you set the Base Document parameter in the writer, but in the current project I don't want to use a base document.Is there a way to control the Paragraph Spacing without using Base Document?

Hi,I have attachments (pdf, jpg, doc, txt) which are stored in Access DB as BLOBs.I tried to use template from link below to extract files. Files have been exported but I cannot open any of them. Except of *txt or *doc where I have only a binary information, like "4D5343..."https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe-lab/templates/read-blobs-from-a-database-and-write-out-files In AttributeFileWriter I used 'Binary (fme-binary)' encoding for JPGs and 'UTF-8' for txt, doc and pdf.

Hello, new to FME here,I have to convert an RVT file to a point cloud file (x, y, z, r, g, b), but I haven't been able to extract color. I know this should be really simple, but I haven't been able to find much of anything on the RevitNativeReader. I saw a couple posts from 2019 that said the format was still in development, but I figure color has to be available somehow. I've been able to chuck the RVT features into a PointCloudCombiner and extract coordinates, but how would I get the color of each point? Do I need to manually map materials to colors? My output file says everything is black, so something must be going wrong.

Hi all,I have been having an issue in an evaluation copy of FME Server 2019.1, where I have been attempting to connect to an Active Directory instance but have been getting 'An error occurred while communicating with directory server (8)'.I've included some logging below (with domains and URIs removed>. I've not been able to find any resources which address this issue - is there any kind of configuration in FME Server that I've missed?Mon-20-Apr-2020 05:36:42.672 PM INFORM RequestHandler-Thread 401933 : Successful login by user admin Mon-20-Apr-2020 05:36:42.714 PM INFORM pool-5-thread-1 408078 : (Active Directory) Connecting using directory configuration "<domain>"... Mon-20-Apr-2020 05:36:42.720 PM INFORM pool-5-thread-1 408001 : (Active Directory) Connecting to an available server in ( <domain.name.local>:389 )... Mon-20-Apr-2020 05:36:42.727 PM INFORM pool-5-thread-1

I am trying to upload to our Open Data site powered by Socrata. I did enough research that I saw I would need to change the data to something Socrata would accept. But if I tell the writer it is a 'calendar_date' field, the schema is uploaded, but no records are created.

Hello, I have a dwg file in Reader with existing layers. I would like to know if you know how to match the Dwg file in Writer again. I use ShemaMapper this to have worked, however in output Writer I always have the same layers. Please help me if you know a solution.

Hello,I'm trying to merge a GeoTIFF orthopotography file and a CityGML file with into a single SketchUp file.With FME Workbench, I have visually the result I want in SketchUp: Do you have an idea of how to do this?Thank you in advance!

I'm in a serious dead end - whatever I do, I can't export files with FME that would show in Blender. I have tried to export both in OBJ and FBX, but they don't appear. I can import the file, but nothing shows. My original file is in WFS format and looks just like it is suppose to in the FME data inspector. When I create a writer it makes the files and they appear in the folders they are suppose to. However when I try to open them with Blender, Unity or with Autocad I can't see any buildings that I exported. I can just see the contollers, looks like empty game/3d object.  Can someone share their workflow when importing to blender 2.8? Is there some tickbox or selection that I should use?  Oh the same file OBJ file I have managed to open with 3D Builder, but the 3D builder asks me to locate every singe texture surface (over 20 in one element) separately. Does this give any hints what I'm doing wrong wit

Workspace has just ESRI Geodatabase reader and SHAPE file writer (FME 2019 version) as I'm trying to write to a shapefile.In Shapefile writer, few attribute definition names are being shortened(truncated) but retains the same data type(as reader). Tried to rename those shortened attributes(in writer), but still it reverts to shortened version. Thereby causing difference in schema definition between reader and writer.This is the case for all different types of Attribute Definitions - Automatic, Manual, Copy from Reader..I think I've tried possible workarounds, but still same issue. Any thoughts please? Thanks!

Can anyone explain the purpose of the extra xsi_nil attributes that accompany a Web Feature Service (WFS) data source?For example, when I create a WFS reader in FME for the topp:states demo layer of a stock GeoServer, the resulting table schema in my FME workspace includes extra attributes - one for each native attribute - named <attribute>_xsi_nil. Here's a screenshot highlighting the fields in question:The data type for all of these xsi_nil fields is xml_boolean. This happens for all WFS layers I consume from a GeoServer.What is the purpose of these extra fields?And is there a way to configure the reader - or the GeoServer layer - to not cause these extra fields to be created?Thanks

Hi,I'm working on creating a workspace with ESRI Geodb reader(or Feature reader) and writer for creating zipped shapefiles (with dynamic naming convention to zipped shapefile like yyyymmddhh_export for every run on schedule). The idea here is to have 'yyyymmddhh' dynamically updated for filenames whenever it is created on a schedule.Finally upload those files to SFTP server on a schedule.I've tried this in FME 2019.2 with using FeatureWriter and ZipArchive transformers, but not quite there yet. Finally to upload to SFTP, not sure if FTPCaller is better option or Automation with 'Upload to SFTP' action is viable options. Please suggest if any ideas. Thanks!

Hi FME Community  I have encountered an issue that I cannot find the solution for.  I have a Reader -> Writer setup. Reading from a MSSQL db and writing to a Postgres.  When reading the table and making a preview, everything looks as it should be. Then I run the transport and looking at the preview of the writer after a successfull termination of the task.  And this is what I see Even though I've made a Scheme called 'dbo'. and the DB-connection setup is successfully co

Hi, I am new to FME and am excited to get started. I have a task that should me simple, however I am not sure how to go about it. Here i attached one picture where the White color is full of my study area. I do not want to see this color. I have to inform that i make a boundary to my dxf file when it is converted in kml file may thats why it is full of White color in my study area beacuse other part is not fyllup with white color.Do you have some good solutions?Thanks!

Just spotted this problem in my corporate data extraction workflow.So it is pretty straightforward, a dynamic ESRI Geodatabase SDE FeatureReader that dynamically reads the schema of the Target Feature Classes/Tables from the SDE server.However, it appears to struggle when there is a Domain on the Field. Where the option to "Resolve" the Domain to a separate "_Resolved" attribute is used that contains the Domain Description values, it instead reads the Schema for the relevant base field as TEXT rather than as LONG (meaning both Base attribute and the Resolved attribute get a TEXT data type assigned in the Schema Feature)That creates an issue when flowing that to a Dynamic FeatureWriter which uses the (incorrect) Schema Feature Data Type to write it out to a Text field rather than a Long.Anyone got any Workarounds? I'm thinking the only way to do it is to manually override the Data Type Attributes in the Schema Feature by doing a sep

Hi everyone, I'd like to divide (extract) my point cloud data (LAS, forest) by elevation of points, e.g. one dataset would be points from 0-2 meters, 2-5, 5-10, etc., please share a good and simple tool in FME, thanks in advance!

Hi, I guess the title is pretty self explanatory, here's some screenshots.Went from this surface model, that has been clipped by shapefile of buildings with average Z value of pixels within each of polygonsto this... (tilted view)and need to extrude the point cloud to preferably ground or at least a fixed value that will go through the ground (might clip them later, not really necessary). Basically trying to to "extend sides to ground" function from Google Earth Pro but with point cloud (I do have the terrain DEM as well, doing this approach because I don't want vegetation in my final result and the terrain DEM has better resolution)
