Data

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!

Hi everyone, I'm a new user of FME. i'm trying to create a CityGML LoD0 and LoD1 based on a study area in DWG and point cloud data.I have followed the steps in the links below that are related to my task:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/56991/citygml-file-with-lod1-and-lod2.htmlhttps://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1353/point-cloud-to-3d-terrain-model-with-buildings-dwg.htmlI can preview the data before the writer and it looks OK, with the footprint and the solids highlighting when one feature is selected but the writer is giving me the error: CityGML Writer: Geometry conversion error - Unable to convert the 'IFMEAggregate' into a single 'IFMESolid' geometry, because the aggre

Hi there,  I'd like to insert data into a postgis datebase. The destination table is already created. Unfortunatly, the translation fails due to a geometry problem :    Bulk copy failed on table 'az.eu_collecteur' using delimiter ':'.

A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details    How can I transforme my source data form LineString  to MultiLineString ?    Any ideas ?    thank's in adavance.

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)

I am reading a large ECW version 3 file into FME and then clip it. After this I want to write in to an ECW version 2. Everytime when I do this I get the following warning: ECW writer: Existing value for creation option 'ECW_FORMAT_VERSION' was '2'. Overwriting with the new value '3'.Is there any way I can turn off, the automatic overwriting of the version number? I really need the final output to be an ECW version 2.Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: The error was not any hidden files in FMECloud - but rather that the process using AzureFileStorageConnector downloaded a whole FOLDER instead of individual files. So instead of downloading a file of size 0,5 GB - it downloaded all the files in that folder (50GB). Havent figured out why yet, but might be something between the screen and the person sitting in front of the computer.  I have a FMECloud instance with 100GB Primary disk, and it seems according to the Dashboard that 97GB is in use. I can only find roughly 60GB in the DATA-folder. And FME Cloud seems to run the cleanup. So i wonder where the missing 40GB of data is. The projects uses a lot of raster-data, so I wonder if they are cached somewhere, or if the FFS is somewhere. But cant seem to figure out what to empty.Moving to a larger instance might be a solution, but Backup 100 GB, download, start new instance 200 GB and restore takes some time....Would be GREAT to be able to RESIZE the

Hi all,I'm trying to create a workflow for creating LoD2 CityGML from a shapefile of building footprints (and forcing a height attribute) and I am struggling with few issues. I would like to have the buildings composed of wall, roof and floor surfaces but I haven't been able to work out how to compose the surfaces within a single building while also generating the relevant semantic feature types for these surfaces. I'm aiming for something similar to what I want is the LoD2 sample in CityGML 2.0 examples: http://schemas.opengis.net/citygml/examples/2.0/building/Building_LOD2-EPSG25832.gmlSo far, I am simply offsetting a the shapefile to create floor and roof geometries. I also generate a UUID for an gml_id (for the Building) which I thought I could reference from the roof and floor surfaces LoD2 features in order to nest them. However, upon running th

Hi guys, I do have an issue working with KML on FME. 1) I have a shp file with loads of features and I would like to transform each one of them in one specific kml file. The pic below show us the features I have:I do want to transform them into individual kml files , with an specific name ( i have this information on the file). And I also need that the kml looks like this: I couldn´t manage to make them hollow like this. Can anyone help me? 

I did everything right to set up the Teradata format in FME. I followed closely the documentation here: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/teradata_jdbc_spatial/teradata_jdbc_spatial.htm. However, when I start FME, I'm still not able to use the Teradata format. What gives?   

Having a couple of problems writing to a versioned ArcSDE Geodatabase:  1. When trying to import an existing feature type from the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodatabase) writer I can connect to the geodatabase successfully and browse to the existing version to select the table I want to write to, but when I attempt to add the feature I get an ArcObjects error that the version is not found.  I can import features successfully from sde.Default but none of the versions.  This occurs when using a direction connection with OS Authentication, but I can import features when using an sde connection file that specifies the version, but it’s not ideal and I’d like to determine why I’m having issues.  2. When using the ArcSDE Geodatabase reader with the option to create a child version and then do a reconcile and post + delete the child state options on the ArcSDE Geodatabase writer, the edits and the reconcile and post are successful but I g

Hi, I would like to convert a dwg file to shp file. The problem is that it contains a lot of attribute for each object. I want to convert the dwg file to shp where each object have the associated attribute value. Please see picture below. for example, "CJ" originate from a layer in CAD. I want that layer to have it own column in the attribute table for the SHP file.

Hi guys! I'm new to FME. So far the software seems great but I'm having an issue with the data in my database persisting. I have a setup where I've created a CSV reader connected to a Postgres writer. When I run it, everything is ran fine without errors. In the visual preview it shows that the Postgres database has been written to. HOWEVER, when I do a Select * From database in a separate SQL command line, nothing is showing up in my tables. Its as if its not legitimately writing into the database. The connections are right, and this is happening on a local Postgres database I have running. I'm thinking there may be a step I missed? I did this all pretty straight-forward without tinkering with customizations. If anyone could assist or point me to a step-by-step guide for achieving this I'd really appreciate it. I have found similar guides on youtube but nothing for exactly CSV to Postgres. Thanks all!
