FME Form

As mentioned in another post, I'm currently upgrading a bunch of workbenches to run on FME Flow 2024, some of them many years old. Typically, for anupgrade, I will go through each workbench, upgrade all transformers, readers, and writers, then run it in test desktop (workbench) environment, then publish to and test in a test server (flow) environment. In, FME 2024 the Vertex Extractor gives me bogus results, even after upgrading all the constituent transformers in this custom transformer. It looks like X and Y, or Lat and Lon, are reversed. When I open the CoordinateConcatenator (arrow above), I see this: Default setting While I haven’t dug through the rest of the custom transformer, this - frankly - looks counter-intuitive. When I change that to “XYZ”, everything runs just fine and results are as expected. My tweak I have tried to compare my version (I’m assuming that upgrading all components makes it uptodate) to older versions to see whether upgrading might have introduced this prob

I hope I got the title prepositions correct… I want to break apart lake data in order to generalize each category individually. The DonutHoleExtractor will “only” break apart “one level”. That is, independent-lakes and island-in-lakes-on-islands get sent one way and islands-in-independent-lakes and lakes-on-independent-islands get sent the other. Last option is to use an AreaOnAreaOverlayer or similar to sort everything correctly. But I would rather save that computing time since this is a huge dataset. Unfortunately the DonutHoleExtractor does not have an option for lists, or that would have been my chosen route, me thinks. Once generalized the geometries will be reassembled into donuts. Q: Is there a way to deduct the relations between different types of polygons within the donuts without doing a load of spatial analysis? I would expect there to be some sort of relation info within the geometry type itself? edit: Rephrased the question for clarity Pic for illustrative purposes

Hi Team, I was wondering if there was an ETA as to when a permanent solution for fixing FME Form (and Flow) will be available, as we're still experiencing issues with reprojecting data in GDA 2020. The work around at the moment that we have been given is; - Open up the following file in Notepad (open as administrator) :"C:\Program Files\FME\Reproject\CsmapTransformationExceptions\TransformationExceptions.db" - Find the Australia section and add the following line : GDA2020-7P|GDA2020|XFORM|FWD|NULL_FME - Save! Cheers

My company does SSL inspection/interception which is causing errors when trying to view background maps in FME Form. I have seen ways to fix this for the FME Flow (Server) side, but is there any way to change any configurations for FME Form to handle this? The CA certificate for our authority is in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store on machines so I’m not sure why it isn’t trusted if FME is using the machine’s certificate store for trust. Below is an example of error seeing from FME Flow 2025.0.1 (but have seen on previous versions as well). Stadia Maps Reader: Failed to load 'https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/tiles/alidade_smooth/5/19/14.png'.

Hi FME world, I have two tables in a database (ArcGIS SDE). They are effectively a 1:1 match, linked via a common ID. Table 1 features are always present in the flow (filtered prior) and I want to read in ONLY the features from table 2, where match with the Table 1 filtered features (because there are 1m+). I’ve tried options like aggregating the Table 1 features and concatenating the ID, passing into Table 2 feature reader with a where clause. However, there is a maximum limit of queries the database can do (somewhere between 10,000-15,000 - and often I will need to read in more than this. My next thought is to create a looping transformer where I sample the T1 features into groups of 10k, aggregate, pass to FeatureReader, reads in associated 10k T2 features, then loop back to read in the next 10k, until there are no more features to be read (using a NoFeaturesTester to exit the loop. I’m a bit stuck on how to actually implement this though. Any ideas/thoughts much appreciated! Or if

Hey, I have a question about the HTTP Caller. Is there a way to have the workspace it is in still continue even if one of the records fails to upload? The reason I ask is because there are some interesting errors I have ran into when uploading records to Cityworks, where something fails and then I have to re-run the entire workspace, after first deleting all of the inspections/work orders that were created. The error involves an encoded string not being compatible with FME. I would just like a way to run the entire workspace for all features and not have it cancel out on a failure. Any tips?

Hi, I had a script that was running perfectly in FME 2024.1. I upgraded to 2025.0, encountered some issues, and my script stopped working. I then reverted to the previous version, 2024.1. However, my script still doesn't work. When I run it in PyCharm using Python 3.10, it runs perfectly, but in FME I get the following error: Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::Exception Python Exception <SyntaxError>: invalid syntax (functions.py, line 68) In the FME options, I have the same paths set as before: PYTHONHOME: C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310 Interpreter: "C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python310.dll" What could be the issue? Could you please help me? Thank´s

With the CKANConnector able to list Datasets and Resources without any issue, so I know CKAN Connection is good. If I try to add and update a resource I receive the “upload error HTTP 400: "Bad request - JSON Error: Invalid request. Please use POST method for your request” I’m pulling the Dataset and Resource for the update resource from the dropdown. Acts like a permission issue but I’m connecting as an Admin on the openGov side.

This is starting to annoy me - in 2024.2, whenever I create a bookmark around something, FME automatically zooms to it. Is this a setting that can be turned off?

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Huge thanks to ​@mark2atsafe for granting me a shiny FME Star badge! It really gave me the push to finally share some of the custom tools I’ve built, starting with this one: the TimeSeriesGenerator. The idea came up when I needed to build a time‑series dataset to plot user activity over time. My end goal was to generate an HTML report showing how users interacted with an application. I was starting from a log file of user requests, but if no one made a request during a given period, I’d have gaps in my data and nothing to show in the report. This issue is a common one. Even FME Flow with his analytics page doesn’t handle time period with no data. This FME Flow is idling most of the time, but the Analytics page doesn’t report that. That’s where the TimeSeriesGenerator comes in ! It creates a continuous series of timestamps between a start date and an end date, at a specified interval in seconds. You can then join your actual log data to those timestamps and be sure you’ll see a value (e

I'm working with an electrical network with feeders and branches. I'd like to add the coordinates of the intersection points with the feeders as attributes in the branches. I managed to do this in the first segment using the Intersector and SpatialFilter transformers, but I had trouble adding them to the downstream segments.I have a common field for each branch that can be obtained using networkTopology.So, my question is how to create conditional queries to add the coordinate values ​​of the intersection points with the downstream branches (see attached diagram). Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm trying to access the property sets within the Extended data from dwg file, the property sets are attached to block reference objects, quite similar to the case of this post. Attached below are two snapshots from how the property sets look like in Autocad and FME workbench featuring the two attributes that I was trying to expose with no success can someone guide me through the detailed workflow, please? I'm using FME workbench 2024.2 Thanks,

Hi everyone, quick question: how can I remove the rows from my Excel file where the ID number is duplicated, so that only one record per ID is kept?

Hello I am trying to figure out if it is possible to read Levels from a .dgn files, and rename them according to a Table given to the script. I work at a public contracting authority where we receive “As-Built” .dgn documentation from our consultants, structured according to industry standards regarding level naming, and it would be a huge help if we could rename them to a human readable name which our maintenance employees can understand. I guess I’ve found a way to “read” levels in Microstation files, but I cannot seem to find something that can write Levels. Is that possible with FME? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Ioannis

Dear FME Community, I need to calculate measure PK from an object, modify them and apply to another object for cut it to elements. I try to explain all steps with this schema : I’m at the STEP 4 but I’m blocked when I want to apply my Measure PK to another objet. For that I’ve a FMWT in ZIP join to this subject. Thank you for your attention and your help. Geo-x

I need to have a choice parameter offering all the database tables of a specific database for the user to choose from before running the workspace. I do have the Python code ready, and created a scripted parameter, returning a list of all table names. I referenced the scripted parameter as input for the choice parameter, but that only gives me a dropdownbox with the name of the parameter linked to it. Is it possible to populate a choice parameter from a Python script (scripted parameter), and if so how?

Anyone come across .nt files (N-Triples) files? Their doesnt seem to be a native FME reader for it.

Something I recently learned about with FME is that each HTTPCaller seems to equate to one session - there are most likely a lot of cases where this isn’t true but I had some weird issues recently where a series of calls working intermittently. The process was creating a document container and then uploading files into it and then closing the container. I used 3 separate HTTPCallers for this. When testing from FME desktop it worked sometimes and others it didn’t work. I spent a tonne of time trying to debug what was wrong in my POST. Finally it seemed like it was working, I published to Server and directly had issues again. Looking into the Debug logs I noticed that with each new instance of the HTTPCaller there was a new connection to the service BUT that connection was going to a different IP. The host was using a load balancer to handle API requests. Turns out my container was being created on one server and my follow up requests were hitting the other server. After I fed everything

I am hoping to produce a group of points along polylines of various lengths. I’ve been trying to mimic the GeneratePointsAlongLines() method from arcpy and ArcGIS Pro which will simply build out points from the start of a polyline at a designated interval (regardless of line segment vertices). I’ve investigated Densifier, but this transformer incorporates vertices and produces points that do not conform to the designated interval. I’ve contemplated utilizing Snipper, but this seems challenging given that many of the line segments I expect to incorporate may vary in lengths for different inputs. I’d appreciate any insight that can be offered.

Dear community, I have implemented a workflow with FME and ArcGIS Enterprise, in which an automation is triggered in FME via a referenced feature service with a webhook. Based on the entries in the ArcGIS Field Maps App, an e-mail is then to be sent via FME. This is set up accordingly according to the following documentation: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407414850061-Integrating-ArcGIS-Enterprise-Feature-Service-Webhooks-With-FME The connection from the application in ArcGIS Enterprise to FME is also set up accordingly: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407772142733-How-to-Create-an-ArcGIS-Enterprise-Portal-Web-Connection-OAuth-2-0 The problem that arose is that the OAuth refresh token created in ArcGIS Enterprise has a default lifetime of 2 weeks and I therefore have to authorize myself every 2 weeks (see https://enterprise.arcgis.com/de/portal/latest/administer/windows/specify-the-default-token-expiration-time.htm). Based on this community entry: https://co

Hi. I'm reading dwg files with the civil 3D reader. I need to use the attributes in the propertysets. this works perfectly with exposing 'autocad_xrecord_datalist' in the reader for all geometry types, but not for the blocks. the property set attributes from the block don't seem to be present on the 'autocad_insert'. I tried exposing fme_attrib_info but they are also not there. any ideas? or is this just not possible on blocks ? i added a screenshot of the pset in the dwg
