FME Form

Hi all,I am attempting to create an FME script that looks at the FWI information provided as a WMS by NRCAN to perform some risk analysis based on the WFI cell values. When I load the WMS into ArcGIS Pro and examine a cell, I can see a discrete WFI value: (It is hard to tell from the picture, but this display is showing up when I click to examine a single cell. As I click around in the polygon, the WFI value changes.)When I load the data into FME, I cannot seem to get that FWI value to be exposed. When I click a cell in the investigator, this is what is returned:

I am trying to join SQL data with csv data.  The field coming from SQL is uint32.  The field in the CSV is Char but converted to uint32.  Im joining the sets on this field and I get no matches.  here is the SQL data:Here is the CSV date after conversion to uint32:Feature Joiner information:

I am taking a polygon that is the floor of a building, I am then clipping out the exterior wall and the room polygons on it to get the square footage of the space between the walls. However, it is filling in polygons at random when writing to our SDE. When I write these polygons to a .gdb, that behavior doesn’t happen. I have tried to not simplify the geometry, used the donut extractor to only take the outershells, orientor to only choose right facing polygons, etc. Anything else I should try?Preview of the polygon in FME:Polygon in GDB:Polygon in SDE:

I just updated to version 25.2 and my oracle reader is failing and throwing this warning (not an error):An error occurred while fetching from query `SELECT a.*** FROM *** a' : OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO: ORA-24347: Warning of a NULL column in an aggregate functionWhich causes Translation FAILED with 0 error(s) and 1 warning(s) (0 feature(s) output).My colleague tried the same on version 25.1 and whilst he also gets the warning his translation does not stop and he gets all features to work with. (As did I before my update)Ignoring the fact that the view should be fixed, is there a way to continue the translation with all features? Troubleshoot option Ignoring failed readers simply skips the reader and thus returning zero features.Furthermore I did see a few changes regarding oracle in the changelogs but I could not pinpoint which one is referring to this problem.

This...may be complicated to explain. We are trying to create Feature Service webhooks in ArcGIS Enterprise. ESRI documentation indicates that this can either be accomplished with the admin Portal (which very few users have access to) or via the “administrative API”https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/enterprise-administration/server/create-webhook/The only way to access the administrative API is to acquire a session token (SSO, username/password, other authentication types are not accepted).In ArcGIS Enterprise, the generateToken endpoint is no longer used, the OAUTH2 “Token” endpoint has superseded it. There is a preliminary authorization step that must be completed before accessing the “Token” endpoint.

I am using feature reader to connect to an ArcGIS Online feature service.The feature service has multiple layers in there. I want to use a where clause against 1 layer only to filter the results from that table, but not apply the where clause to the other tables. 

I am trying to read geometry of the leader lines from the Pro Annotation feature class.In the attributes which I see when loading it in the Data Inspector, I only see geodb_text_leader_line_anchor_point which contains correct coordinate but no geodb_text_leader_line. Does anyone knows if reading of the leader line from Pro Annotation is supported?I am using FME 2025.1.0.1.I tried changing reader parameters “Split Multi-Part Annotations” but it makes no difference in the way annotations are red.

Hi!I have a workspace containing four Writers that write tables to a geodatabase. One of the writers is not working as expected. When i press “Run workspace” some of the attributes get null on almost all of the rows. It seems to filtered on one of the attributes (an attrribute called Name) since it is the same names that ends up null. The transformer in the step just before the writer looks as it should, so something goes wrong in the writer, not somewhere in the workspace. The strange thing is that when i press “Run to this” on the problematic writer, everything works as expected and there is no null values anymore. I don’t get any error messages. Using FME Workbench 2025.2Hope someone has any idea of what could be wrong, or if it is a bug?  

I have a workbench which takes a dem raster and clips it at various points, it converts the raster clips to the point cloud and extracts the highest value for each segment.  i then want to be able to use the highest point with the radiate line generator to show additional lines before being clipped and calculated.  I have tried a 2dforcer, aggregator and others to get the Radiate Line Generator to work, but it fails every time.. any idea how to get points from the workflow, and what have i missed..??If i try the Radiate Line Generator with a ‘normal’ point dataset then everything works fine and as expected..  

Hi,Into an Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer sending data to ArcGIS Portal what is the difference between Publishing and Spatial.There is nothing about Spatial in the documentation.Thanks.

The failed feature type issueWe are reading in many featureclasses using GEODATABASE_SDE reader in workspace and recently noticed an issue in FME Form (24.1) where it only throws a warning“A table name ‘HeritageSites_Exclusion’ could not be found in the geodatabase as either a featureclass or table. This may be due because the current user does not have permissions to see HeritageSites_Exclusion”The rejected feature handling is set to TerminateThe workspace runs in success, although this missing table was joined upon and is necessary for the right outcome. I guess I’m posting here to see if others have/had this issue, where only a warning of a missing featuretype is given… we believe it should be an Error WorkaroundObviously, we can place NoFeatureTesters and connect a Terminator to the NoInput port. This is alot of work,

The Clipper can subset a raster by geospatial extents, while the RasterSubsetter can both subset and pad a raster by number of pixels, but is there a simple way to pad a raster to a given polygon/geospatial extent?My two ideas are to eitherUse the RasterSubsetter to pad the raster by a large amount of pixels and then the Clipper to bring it back to size.OrRasterize the polygon to the same resolution as the image with a background/NoData value and mosaic the two together.Neither seem particularly efficient. 

Is anybody familiar with setting up readers from SmartSheet in FME so that you can potentially make/send updates to the SmartSheet directly from FME?

Good morning yall, Im banging my head trying to find the issue as to why I cannot read this.I have TemppathnameCreator before my google drive connector. google drive is saving a folder to that temp locationfeature reader is supposed to grab that drive folder and read a csv out of it.Ill paste some screenshots below. Hopefully is some setting in the feature reader. Much help is appreciated!

Trying to understand how the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner works. Set to Fill All Gaps No and Repair Method Priority (Edge Preserving) with a tolerance of 1mSo why does it change the boundary of this polygon where it neither overlaps or is a gap (it’s the edge of coverage) 

Hi, a client is using nb_NO (Norsk Bokmål) Locale on a Windows Server machine and the produced FFS filename is incorrect. They are using FME Form 2024.2.3.0.I have tested same om my machine Windows 11, FME Form 2025.1.1.0 - build 25615. I want to produce a filename “t2_æøå”.FFS (where æ, ø and å are Norwegian alphabet letters)using en_US Locale the produced file is t2_æøå.FFS using nb_NO Locale the produced filename is t2_æøå. FFSI repeated the test wiriting to Esri Shapefiles - and both Locale will give the result t2_æøå.shp. Seems like the FFS writer have an issue with Locale. Might be a known issue  but I was not able to find it. Thanks 

Hi there!I get tons of these messages from some workspaces created with FME 2020 (in Norway) and now  migrated to FME 2024: The Startup Python Script changed the current FME process locale from 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8' to 'C' and FME has restored it back to 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8'. It is undefined behavior to change locale and doing so may cause unexpected errors. For more information, visit http://fme.ly/PythonLocaleErrorI have read the post http://fme.ly/PythonLocaleError carefully, but it does not give me anything. I have nothing such as import arcpy or locale.setlocale() in my Python-code. The example message above is particulary strange, I don’

Hello,I am creating PDF files using FME and am experiencing a serious performance issue (the process is very slow).I have a PDF template that I read and merge with my data so that each ID gets its own template. I use specific X,Y coordinates to write text at the correct positions in the PDF, and then I use the ID in the PDF writer to generate one PDF document per ID that includes both the data and the template.The output is correct and matches my expectations; however, exporting all records with the template takes a very long time.I was thinking to use  the PDF Page Transformer, but rebuilding the pages also takes a significant amount of time.Is there any way to improve performance and make my current solution faster without completely rebuilding the workflow? thanks in advance FME 2021

I’m having trouble finding examples for JSONTemplater when working with a JSON array input attribute.The incoming data looks like this:{"layers": [ { "defaultVisibility": true, "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolygon", "id": 1, "maxScale": 0, "minScale": 0, "name": "Parcels", "parentLayerId": -1, "subLayerIds": null, "type": "Feature Layer" } ]}I’m interested in extracting the first array member id value into an object like this:{"layers": [{"id": 1}]}I can almost get the data into what I want in two steps, first extracting the value with a query json["layers"][0]["id"] and then using the JSONTemplater to use the id value, but bizarrely the value 1 is cast to string “1” byt the templater, which is invalid for downstream work.Anyone know how to make what I want

I have rasters with one alpha channel and one grey channel. I need to ensure that the grey band is grey8. How do I coerce only the grey band and leave the alpha band untouched?The RasterInterpretationCoercer will change both bands and I have not found any other transformer that fits my requirements.  

Ever since the merging of SQLServer spatial and SQL Server non-spatial Reader types, my SQLCreators and SQLExecutors generate a warning:Microsoft SQL Server Reader: Table `___FME_Custom_SQL_Statement___' does not include a spatial column. Geometry will not be read In Form this is easily ignored, but it really messes up my Jobs overview dashboard on Flow, because it results in quite a lot of listings with warnings that do not need checking. And I can’t seem to find a way to tell FME that yes, I know, there is no geometry coming through in this sql, don’t worry about it because I did not select it - on purpose (or because it does not exist).I really do not want to turn off all warnings generically, I am just searching for a way to stop this particular warning. Before the merge it was easy: just use the non-spatial type, and the warning would go away. But that is not an option anymore unfortunately...  

I’m trying to run some workspace through Task scheduler with FME Form. I’m using an Emailer package and when I run the task as my user, everything is fine. But When I run it as local system it always fails as it can’t find the package. I tried defining Shared folder and setting up environment variables, but couldn’t make it work.As for setting up shared connections it works fine, but not with packages.What would be the right setup for this?

Hi thereI’d like to convert the whole OS MasterMap Topography layer for our district in to individual 1km DWG tiles which are to be accessed in a variety of CAD packages.I have had some success in converting a Geopackage of the above layer, through a MultiClipper to create the individual grid squares and finally written as a DWGs with the output ‘fanned out’ by each 1km grid reference number.When one of the resulting files was opened in CAD, the geometry was present, but none of the attributes. However, I will try the UK OS MasterMap Topography Layer (GML) Reader, once my GML download is available from the OS Data Hub site.Would anyone who has had some experience with this type of conversion kindly forward me some tips or advice on how best to achieve populating a DWG, or series of DWG exports with the attributes from the file which is being converted, please?Many thanks :)

Can FME create a pg database tables with attribute names that have upper cases? I know that this is possible in postgres - column names are case-sensitive when double-quoted. But no matter which parameters of PostgreSQL writer I select (standard/dynamic writing, with checked or unchecked option to Lowe Case Attribute Names in Table Creation Parameter), FME keeps replacing double-quotes with underscores and output is always folded to lowercase.  Is it something that can be bypassed? 

I have written a workbench were user can upload a excel spreadsheet and the workbench will convert the coordinates in the spreadsheet to a variety of different coordinate systems.The last step is a dynamic(excel) writer which works perfectly if I give the new coordinate attribute (column) a generic name (new_X and new_Y).I introduced a bulk attribute renamer to add a suffix reflecting the new coordinate system ( for example: X_WGS84 and Y_WGS84) which makes the output more intuitive and will avoid any confusion.When I do this the dynamic reader changes the order of the output columns to alphabetical.All the spreadsheets are different, so I don't think I can use a template.Is there an easy way to achieve this?
