unable to create required workspace factories

I am trying to convert 15 dgns (approx. 50 MB) into 5 gdbs using a workbench. The conversion is aborted with the error shown in the jpg. If I deactivate a few readers (dgns), the run is completed without errors. Could this be a memory problem? Please help.

creating shapes.txt from stop_times.txt, stops.txt amb kml line (GTFS) any ideas?

Hi, I'm trying to dynamically create the line drawings in a GTFS, that is, I want to create the shapes table, which is empty by default. I thought that it must be possible to do from the stop_times table, the stops table and the 'mother' lines in kml that contain the total theoretical route of each line. With stop_times I can know all the patterns that each line has (starts and ends) identified with stop code. patterns from stop_times.txtstops.txt, with coords The spicy part starts here. I should cut the parent line by start and end, keep the correct segment - I don't know how to identify it - and reorient it in case the 0 vertex of the line doesn't match the stop coords origin The thing is, I don't quite know how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!Pol PD: I cannot attach KML on this thread. ‘Mother’ lines comes from there:R11: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1Oovi7a-WCKVFI_h4IigcGDBCXPo&femb=1&ll=41.91271293489377%2C2.6520825662537018&amp

AttributeManager - Remove Attribute

Hi All,I have recently upgraded from 2022 to 2024. Previously, when choosing to remove an attribute from within the AttributeManager transformer, the name of the attribute was removed from the ‘output Attribute’ column. This was very handy as it gave a good visual prompt for how the new dataset would appear. Example shown in the screenshot below:I now notice with the new version that the name is no longer removed and stays visible in the Output Attribute column. Example shown below:Does anyone know if this is this something that can be changed in a setting somewhere? I know this is only a small thing but it made a big difference to my day lol :D Thanks!

Dynamic AGOL login when using FME workspace as SpatialETL tool in ArcGIS Pro

I’ve been creating some workbenches that regularly update datasets on ArcGIS Online, but I’ve hit a small issue with the ArcGIS Online authentication within FME. It’s fine when I run the workbench, but if someone else runs the workspace they need to use their own AGOL account. I’ve added the workbench into an ArcGIS Pro toolbox as an ETL tool so it can be scheduled in Pro, so is there anyway to pass a persons ArcGIS Online account info from Pro to a FME workbench? Or force it to need a login prioir to running.

Open multiple tabs in workbench

Hi FME users, I have only been using FME for a short while, so please bear with me if this question is very basic. I remember seeing in several example screenshots of the workbench having multiple tabs open rather than just the default "Start" and "Main" tabs. I can imagine it would be very usefull to be able to toggle between different workspaces in the same workbench but couldn't find how to do this. Could anyone please share any experience on this?

Change both the attribute and corresponding values from an external lookup table?

Working with crossborder maps that get their data from two different datasets. There are many ways to approach this, and I am toying with the idea to convert the attributes and their values from dataset A to the standard of dataset B. The benefit would be easier downstream processing. A simple example:Dataset A: attribute ‘Lakes’, value ‘yes’Dataset B: attribute ‘water’, value ‘1’Then do some FME-magic to convert everything from A to the standard of B, ie ‘lakes’ → ‘water’ and ‘yes’ → ‘1’I imagine that the only reasonably fast way to set this up would be by utilizing an external lookup table, csv or similar. How would one go about to change both the attribute and values from an external lookup table? I would like to keep it dynamic and easily editable, so preferably avoiding the AttributeValueMapper.

Unable to Connect to BigQuery

Hello,I was wondering if someone here could give some guidance to a problem we are experiencing.We our trying to connect FME to BigQuery but regardless if it is the reader or writer we are unable to connect using Web Connection.For the Web Connection settings we use or own accounts which have access to BigQuery. In fact when we connect directly to BigQuery we are able to see the project, datasets and tables and we are able to run queries on them.But when trying to establish the connection from FME using Web Connection we get the following error: BigQuery Connection ErrorAny help on how to solve the issue or to even find out what exactly is wrong would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.RZ.-

Is there a transformer that filters or joins or tests based on all items in a list?

I have a table of data that I’m trying to map. The locations are essentially polygons with their bounding streets entered as attributes:I have street data and have been able to create polygons using AreaBuilder, but am stuck on trying to add all of the streets back as searchable/joinable attributes rather than items in a list.I’ve tried the ListExploder and gotten a stack of polygons, each one with one street’s attributes, but I aggregating isn’t quite getting me the results I’d expect. In a perfect world, I’d be able to run FeatureJoiner or something similar on every item in the list, but it only seems to allow one.Any advice is very much appreciated!

How to use Esri Geodatabase writer to fanout to multiple Feature Classes nested in multiple dynamically named/created Feature Datasets?

I have multiple .dwg files I am trying to convert to feature classes. However I would like to nest the resulting feature classes inside a feature dataset that has the same name as the input .dwg file. I have tried to change the Feature Dataset name to @Value(fme_basename) under Table Creation Parameters after previously exposing fme_basename:But running the workspace with the above displays this error in the logs:"Esri Geodatabase Writer: Creating feature dataset '@Value_fme_basename_'An error occurred while attempting to create a feature dataset. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220654'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The table name is invalid.}GEODATABASE_FILE writer: A fatal error has occurred.

Read a new zipped shapefile (with any title) from a specified folder

Hello,I have built a workspace in Workbench 2022.2.4 that reads a specified shapefile (e.g. 10_18_24_line_review.shp) from a folder titled C:\New Shapefiles, performs some basic transformations (datetime stamping, attribute formatting, spatial relation, filtering, etc.) writes out two new resulting shapefiles (with naming conventions based on the new ‘_timestamp’ field) to a folder titled C:\Outputs, then moves the original shapefile being read into a C:\Completed folder using the FILECOPY writer.What I would like to do now is:Configure the workspace to read in any single zipped shapefile that I place in the “New Shapefiles” folder. Scilicet, the naming conventions of the zipped shapefiles I receive will not be consistently predictable, but only one will be in the “New Shapefiles” folder at a time.To clarify: my vision is to drag and drop a new zip of a shapefile (containing concomitant files [e.g. .dbf, .prj, .shp, and .shx]) into the empty C:\New Shapefiles folder, open my workspace

Hull Accumulator - what decision making is it doing?

I’m looking at an area of survey points that can be divided into east and west areas by grouping with an attribute value. I have used Hull Accumulator to draw polygons around a) the whole area (light purple) and b) the two subdivisions (darker purple). The point population remains the same overall, but I get different external boundaries in places, when I was expecting the same. Alpha = 0. What would be useful is any description about how the transformer makes its drawing choices. I also end up with a donut hole. Again, am trying to understand how this occurs, as I assumed the transformer would create an external boundary only.Many thanks

Append data iterative to a FGDB

Hi together We have a problem by writing mulriple cable data into a fgdb. The process runs once per cable and writes their information into a fgdb, the process is repeated for each cable, stored in a csv list. Now we have the problem, that the next cable in the list is overwriting the previous one in the fgdb, instead of getting appended. We assume, that the problem lies in the writer configuration, but we don’t find a solution to our problem. Is it possible to append data to existing data in a fgdb or do you have any ideas (like Python skripts, other transformers that could append the data of each run etc...)? Thanks for your support

String Pair Replacer inner workings

Helly everyone,I am working with data that consists of abrreviations/code items that are strung together in a single field which I am trying to convert to full text. For that I am using a string pair replacer which contains thousands of mapping pairs, but I have encountered a problem which I can’t seem to solve without knowing how exactly the String Pair replacer does its thing. The problem arises when multiple codes share letters. Here`s an example: I have the following pairs somewhere in my replacement pair string**gn green**bn browng gravelF mudSo F:**bn**gn should map to Mud:browngreen but whats happening is this: M:brown**gravelr.I figured that the transformer probably checks its list from start to finish and ordered my list by string length in hopes it would transform longer strings first. The order of replacement items definetely has a big impact on the result and I was succesful of ironing out most errors in doing that but this particular translation and a few others still dont

Error connecting to Oracle-DB, but only on FME Form (FME Flow ok)

We recently updated to 2024.1 (FME Form and Flow).We have some jobs, that run daily on FME Flow, that read features from an Oracle-db and write to a PostGIS-DB.I downloaded one of the workspaces to FME Form to change something. But in FMEForm I cannot connect to the Oracel-DB anymore. I get this error:Error connecting to Oracle database: message was `OCI_INVALID_HANDLE'. (serverType=`ORACLE_NONSPATIAL', serverName=`xy', userName=`xy', password=`***', dbname=`')I uploaded the workspace again to FME Flow and there it ran successfully.Any ideas, what could be the problem? Thanks in advance.Vera

Not sure why this is possible, but in the FGDB Writer it is possible to create a coded domain into unlimited coded domain.No idea what is the point of being able to do this, because in ArcGIS this is not supported at all. Well, maybe there is something new I missed from ESRI. But yet I can’t see in ArcGIS Pro the SECOND_CD I created.Anyone could tell me what is the purpose of doing this ? What am I missing?I’m on FME 2024.1.Thanks!
