Hello ,I am running workbench with caches .to check the result of each transformer .

Convert cubemap image equirectangular panorama

Hi,I’ve tried a few times to do this over the years but I haven’t been successful. What I want to do is convert a set of cubemap images into on equirectangular panorama. Kind of like this:I know there are a lot of free python solutions of Github, but I haven’t been able to get any of them to successfully work. I’m not particularly good a python and I don’t want to install any script packages. I’d prefer to do this entirely within FME as I am already loading in the images.Would anyone know a solution?

Fitview when writing to microstation dgn

I am using FME to write to microstation DGN. The FME workbench file is using the fanout option to write different areas to the microstation DGN file, based on the same seed file. At the moment I have to use a microstation macro to "fitview" of each produced file in order to have the microstation file centered at each specific area. I rather use only FME to avoid this additonal step.Is there a way / transformer in FME to save the microstation file centered in the written data?

Can Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) write metadata?

Hello all,I have succeeded in building a workspace that Reads from Oracle and Writes a fileGDB that includes metadata for the feature layer in the fileGDB. I used an XMLTemplater to achieve this.I am successful when I use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)However, I would prefer to use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)But when I substitute this Writer, it fails to include the metadata for the feature layer.Is there some setting that I am missing?Or is this functionality just missing from the Open API Writer?

Issues converting tab to geojson due to NativeX in file

Hello Forum, I need to convert a tab file to geojson, which is ordinarily a simple task. However I am getting this error message…“MITAB Reader: Unsupported table type 'NativeX' in file #######################. This type of .TAB file cannot be read by this library.”Note that the # symbols are masking the UNC path and file name.Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks,Stuart

RAPIDS conda environment for FME Form and Flow under Linux?

I have a need to access some advanced graph algorithms in the RAPIDS (rapids.ai) package from a PythonCaller, which is normally installed as a Conda environment. I have found a few references on selecting the Conda-environment-specific Python interpreter, but unfortunately, they all assume we are running under Windows. We are running Ubuntu Linux, and the Linux installation of FME Form (as well as the macOS installation) doesn’t support custom interpreters.Any ideas on how I can get around this? I’ve previously managed to install pip packages into the standard FME interpreter environment with no issues, but it’s very difficult to successfully install RAPIDS using pip due to its many binary dependencies.

Deleting a folder/file at Beginning of Workbench

I have created a series of workbenches that populate an ESRI File Geodatabase. Each workbench corresponds to an individual feature dataset. I have created a workbench with Workspace Runners for each of the individual workbenches so I can run them from there instead of individually.I have used a schemaScanner in the individual workbenches because the schema may change on the incoming datasets without my knowledge. For this reason I had set the first workbench run to overwrite the geodatabase instead of truncate to account for schema changes when doing geodatabase updates. However when I try to run it, I get an error that the geodatabase is locked. To get around this, at the beginning of the workbench I’d like to delete the existing geodatabase and then run each of the workbenches to recreate it. To do this I have read I should move the geodatabase to a temporary folder that FME will then delete at the end of the workbench run. I am have used the temp path creator to create an attribute

Finding matching records between two datasets based on a specifed attribute

Hello Forum, I need to find the records from one dataset where the value in one of its attributes is the same as the value of an attribute in another dataset. For example, If I have two datasets (A and B) I want the output to show which records in A have shared value in B, based on a specified attribute. I want the output to be a selection of A. Something like this… I’ve tried Matcher, but that didn’t work for me. Thanks,Stuart

Replace JobWaiter with HTTPCaller

Hello,FME Flow announces the deprecation of the JobWaiter transformer:2024-9-2 10:59:42 | FMEFlowJobWaiter (ServerFactory): FMEFlowJobWaiter was deprecated in 2024.1.0. Its support lifetime is limited because the v3 FME Flow REST API will be removed in future FME releases. When the v3 API is removed, this transformer will stop working. Please update this workspace to use an HTTPCaller to call the relevant REST API directly instead.Question: Is there any ‘how-to’ with a sample workspace which REST call can be used to replace the JobWaiter functionalities? My sample scenario would be: You have 5 jobs running in parallel (wait to complete NO), JobWaiter polls every 20sec until all 5 job_ids are received and completed. all 5 jobs must have _status SUCCESS before Job #6 is called.I tried GET /transformations/jobs/id/{jobid}/result but it failed with 404. Any hint?thanksKlaus

Where is the "recover" file if Form crashed before it's named and saved?

I remember back in 2021 when this happened, someone from Safe was able to point me to where the “recover” file was saved. Please help me again as i have created a very robust workspace but have not saved it and it would take me 3 hrs to recreate this workspace

GeoJSON entry according to the defined schema

Hey. Hey. I have a problem with GeoJson. GeoJson automatically writes the geometry and I would need to write an extra "layer" block to this geometry block, see attachment layer. I tried to create a template on json templater see fmwt, but it doesn't work. The idea of this template was that I would define the structure as json including the "layer" block and then write it as text with all parameters as geoJson, but I don't know if this is a good way to go. Would you recommend me any other options? I also have the schemas available, but I'm not sure on which transformer and in what combination with other transformers to use them to achieve the result. Thank you very much

Updating a Feature Service through ArcGIS Portal - Using Dynamic Schema

I am trying to see if I can update a feature layer in our ESRI Portal from a FGDB. We know we can insert, update, and delete features and have success on those fronts. However, we will like to also have dynamic schema available as we may change the data in our FGDB by removing/adding fields. I have tried several times to get a dynamic writer working to account for a schema change but without luck. I have tried to delete data in the feature layer to then insert but that had errors. Does anyone have advice or has done this? The FGDB is a testing stage as eventually we would want to update directly from SDE.

ArcGIS Online Writer - Restoring a feature service when error encountered

I’m a newby to FME.I’m about to write workspaces to refresh a list of AGOL feature services. So far I’ve written a simple one that works on a small service.I’ve got a few questions.When I search for potential pitfalls in this forum, they are 5+ years ago and relate to AGOL time outs and also issues updating large datasets. . I’m on the latest release of Form & will use Flow (Hosted). Are these issues still relevant these days ?My largest dataset is our Cadastre being about 140K features. Am I safe to use the Writer ? I am doing truncate & inserts. One might argue that I could use ChangeDetector beforehand, however, I reckon the processing required to compare 140K features would be greater than a simple truncate & insert. (am I right?) If an error is encountered, I would like to quickly restore the destination feature service back to what it was. Any tips on the best approach to doing that ? My idea is to copy the destination service elsewhere in AGOL before commencin

Writer configuration for Excel

I have an excel file with 100 records (100 rows) with 5 columns. I have a process that will filter one record to update one column field called ‘Last Update’ in that particular record row. So The column ‘Last Update’ for that 1 record should be updated and the rest of the 99 records will remain the same. Keep in mind that the one record being updated, only one column is to be updated which is the Last Update column and the rest of the columns fields will remain the same. How can I configure the FeatureWriter?I currently have the following set in the FeatureWriter Parameters and in the configuration but this does nothing. The excel sheet looks the same as before with all 100 records the same and the one record that Im looking to update does not have the Last Update column updated. If I do an Insert, it updates that one record column ‘Last Update’ but the rest of the 99 records are deleted, which I don’t want. So the Insert is not working for my purpose.Thank you.

When FeatureWriter fails there is no output

When a FeatureWriter fails for whatever reason, is the expected outcome that nothing is output from any of the ports, even if some or all other feature types are successful? In my example I have 2 feature types in a FeatureWriter and 1 of the 2 writes successfully, the other fails (I’ve forced it to fail to test this functionality). I want to be able to take the information from the successfully-written feature type further in the workspace for processing. Is this not possible? Currently I’ve resorted to 40 separate FeatureWriters for 40 different feature types in case 1 of them fails and the other 39 are successful. I do have Rejected Feature Handling set to Continue Translation. This is FME 2024.1.1.1 (B23620).Below is my example. The 312 features for for the one feature type successfully write to my database (ArcSDE GeoDB). I’m ok that the Translation Failed and is actually a good thing, I just want to use the summary and feature counts to write to log tables further along in the tr

Reader aborts reading complete data set, but workbench continues to run. Can I have the workbench fail when this occurs?

I have an FME workbench that runs every 10 minutes that reads from an ESRI Feature class in a SQL database. Once in a blue moon I get the following warnings.Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. This feature, and any other feature from 'xxx' that cannot be read, will be skipped. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147154945'Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. Aborting reading from table 'xxx'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216010' Yet the next run 10 minutes later has no problems. When this occurs I want the workbench to stop rather than proceeding with the incomplete data set. Is there a way to force a termination when this happens?

Group same values in different features and attributes by id

Merge polygons with gaps

I have several polygons. They follow a line pattern where tre long polygons should be one large, and by that i mean that there should be no space between them, and instead of three long polygons it should be one large. The following image shows three pairs, so these nine polygons should be three larger polygons. Any idea how to do this?
