FME Form

Title says it all, Basically I have a workflow:Adding a prefix to the new attribute results in the new attribute not to have any values.Running with prefix:Running without prefix:  Also if I add a prefix, for example _, and have a new field I wish to extract, i.e. “ID” which should result in a new column “_ID” with values, it instead replaces the original id field with the new values, totally ignoring the requested “_” prefix. Workaround is to rename the original values with a prefix before extracting second set of values from nested json.

I have a workbench where I am reading data from a SDE looking for rows updated in the last 7 days then exporting to an excel file. That is working well. I’m also using mapnikrasteriser to create a map and export a tiff image however the new records have no geometry defined so won't show up on my map.  What would be the best option to calculate geometry for those new records?

I’ve successfully exposed a dozen attributes (see green check marks).  Then something changes in the source JSON not allowing me to pull “records.number” and others below “records”.  What’s different? Thank you!! 

Hello  , this is my first post , and I hope  to receive an answer I have in FME an ESRI license that allows me to read from and write to an Arcsde geodatabase . I'm interested in knowing if anyone has successfully edited specific feature classes , made modifications in a workspace (such as adding data , deleting data or moving points to new positions), and then writed the output back to the the same feature classes after editing  by ArcSDE geodatabase  writer.After editing and modifying the data, I understand that in ArcMap, data typically undergoes compression, tracking which data is added and which is deleted.Is it possible to write the output directly to these compression tables ?  Is this step  necessary to do by FME ?Second question :  about writing into Relationship classes I read an  article https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407490028813-Writing-Geodatabase-Relationship-Classesthat uses an XML workspace as a template for writing to relationship classes, but I didn’t f

Hi all,As part of a development of some routines, I have created a many tab excel file where i inserted Formulae using the AttributeManager and the Cell.Formula naming convention. Due to the nature of the VLOOKUPS i used (dynamically i suppose), i could not do this calculation in FME's Arithmetic Editor.Opening the excel sheet shows the values i do want, given by the formula in the cells. However, when i now come to read this sheet in my next routine, the values are all shown as <missing>. Has anyone encountered this before or have any ideas?Thanks all, kind regards,Jack

Hi all,I have created a custom coordinate system and placed it in the FME documents directory but I can’t access that in CSMapReprojector transformer. Has anyone dealt with this issue? Looking forward to your responses. Thanks

I’ve alluded to my question on a few other posts about FeatureWriters:When FeatureWriter fails there is no output | CommunityAdd a Rejected port to FeatureWriter | CommunityBut figured I’d ask a more directed question in its own posting. I’m in a situation where I want to do some post-processing after writing data to each of my 40 feature types. I have a FeatureWriter for each feature type, in an attempt to catch and do no post-processing for feature types that fail, but continue with post-processing on feature types that write successfully. I’ve come to realize that any FeatureWriter that fails, stops the entire workspace. Setting “Rejected Feature Handling” to “Continue Translation” doesn’t apply to a failed FeatureWriter. The “Rejected port” link above is suggesting adding such a port to the FeatureWriter, which would solve my predicament, at least as I understand it, but it’s not implemented as of FME 2024.1.1, and I don’t know if there are plans to do so. I’ve also tested out sett

I am working with a table from a GeoPackage in FME, reading it and clipping based on intersections between categories. When writing the output, the unclipped parts are successfully written to Writer 1 without any issues in the output GeoPackage. However, the clipped parts are written without geometry, even though I can see the attributes correctly in the visual preview on the attribute expose just before writting. I'm confident that I’ve set the geometry type correctly in the writer. What could I be missing here?    

Hello, i have a question for a scanner. the scanner drive through our city. the scannner makes a couple of rounds per day. But i have many record with a timestamp. between the rounds there is a time diffrent say 1 hour or more. how can i crerate a round number that the scanner makes.for example the scanner start at 7.00 en ends at 10.00  (thats round 1) and then starts at 13.00 and ends at 16.00. (thats round 2) the next day is somewhat the same but the count must go on. Beste Regards Robert

When I update one of my destination folders for my writers, all of the writers are updated to run to the same folder. I don’t know why this is happening.When I try and run the workbench, it runs like normal but then as it’s writing it comes with an error: “CSV writer: Failed to open file 'C:\D_xxxxxxxx.csv' for writing.  Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file.  If the file already exists, please ensure it is not open in another application” after it has written the first file to the folder.This has only been happening since I upgraded my ArcGIS Pro to a newer version that isn’t supported by my current version of FME (which I need to maintain to match the clients version).Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I simply want to create a .CSV reader that should read the following dataset: $(FME_MF_DIR)DIDOK\didok.csv My workbench is on a network disk P: let’s say P:/myworkbench.fmw so I expected that $(FME_MF_DIR) will be P:/. But instead $(FME_MF_DIR) is resolved to C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Temp. So I guess that FME temporarily copy the workbench into C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Temp ? How to prevent this behaviour ?

Hi Community,I have FeatureWriters creating log text files for me depending on various conditions.If the conditions are not fulfilled the files are still generated but empty and emailer still sends those empty files as attachment.How can i stop this from happening, so that only the log files with any values are sent as attachments with email.Thank you

I have a workflow involving three readers (Reader 1, Reader 2, and Reader 3), and I need help setting up conditional logic based on feature counts for a given ID.Here's what I'm trying to achieve: All three readers are filtered by the same ID. Condition 1: If both Reader 1 and Reader 2 have at least one feature for the given ID, then do nothing—no features should be written to the writer. Condition 2: If Reader 1 has at least one feature, but Reader 2 has zero features for the given ID, then: Write the feature from Reader 3 that matches the given ID to the writer. I'm looking for the best way to implement this logic in FME.  Thanks for any advice or examples!

Hi,I use a CSV list with standard ArcGIS server queries + HTTP Caller to get geojsons. a CSV list contains also layer names etc. I use the File option when saving a response because I need a separate geojson file for every query. Everything goes great, however response files look like "http_download_153028689823_5840.json" which is hard to deal with. Actually I can create a folder with a layer name but I would like to have an option to save a response file itself with a meaningful name and keep granular file structure. Ideally I see it as follows: I run a query within my CSV then get some attributes from the same CSV and supply a response filename from HTTP Caller with these attributes on the fly.There is a way to deal with a new Workspace and rename all the files using filecopy (upd - today I have finally managed with DatabaseJoiner for this purpose), but I am interested in a more integrated solution. Thank you in advance!Evgeny

I have a request to build a FME workspace that can read a text file and load it into an Oracle database with the filename with a suffix appended as the table name (ie. filename_ext).That is fine, the problem is the column headers and fields will differ, depending on the filetype (file A might have 10 columns, file B will have 17 and the column names will be different between A and B)I’ve considered using a tester that directs the flow to an attributemanager based on a “user parameter”. This becomes problematic if the source text file changes column structure or an additional file type (file C, D and E) is introduced.Is there a way for the text file to be read (as generic in the featurereader), have the attributes exposed, split and output with the 1st row as the column headers. Ideally without having to know the column names prior.Thanks Thomas

Hello FME Community!I’m trying to read a Civil 3D file in FME, but I’m not able to access the specific attributes I need.I'm trying to retrieve Pipe and Structure Data Fields (Attributes), but I'm running into errors. Here are the errors that I’m seeing:```2024-10-27 15:13:47|   5.1|  0.0|ERROR |AutoCAD Reader: An error occurred for dataset 'C:\Users\Dor\OneDrive\Perach\Ayalon\חומר ראשני\R6407_01-RME-DR-SVD.dwg', in function AutoCAD2004Reader::readC3DSchema.

Hello,I am struggling with a similar problem as this post (I think?).  One of my attributes in the Workspace contains a 0 or 1 that is used as a Boolean.  The value has been assigned the datatype ‘buffer’ in AttributeCreator and ‘string’ in the FeatureWriter, which outputs an Excel file.  I am using a template, where the cell format is set to ‘General’.For some reason, the Excel file that is generated will give me inconsistent formatting of the attribute value:  What is going on here??? As you can see, even though they all should be interpreted as strings, some of the values become numbers.  The formula bar does not show anything different.   I started using the Excel template in hopes of making the data format consistently, but even when I changed the cell format to ‘Text’ it still gave me issues when being read by Python. I would like to solve this issue before reverting to a Yes/No or True/False format.  What could be causing this?  Any insight is appreciated. -Thanks  

I have a dataset that has customer data, vehicle data, planned driving distance (with a bunch of other scrubbed attributes).  In this data, there are many days when a customer was not planned to have accumulated any distance but did use a machine.  If the planned driving distance to date is missing, I want to copy the value for the previous planned_Driving_dist_to_date that has a value, but I want this sorted by date and grouped by customer and machine.   The attached spreadsheet shows my dataset. 

Hello, All my data is in Excel spreadsheets. All the schemas are the same.I have two readers:The Updates Reader includes the 3 records that have been changed. These 3 records already exist in the Address Reader spreadsheet.The Address Reader is the original spreadsheet that includes these 3 records before they were updated. I would like these updates written to the Addresses Writer which creates a new excel spreadsheet with the 3 records updated but no new records added. In my workbench here, I run it, and the results are the 3 records are added to the 95,393 thus the new spreadsheet has 95,396 records in it. Having the 3 records added results in having 6 duplicate records whereas previously there were no duplicate records. I need the Addresses output to be 95,393 records with the 3 records I mention previously updated. I have tried changing all the parameters in the Writer with no success. The results are always the same, 95,396.I know I can use FeatureJoiner/FeatureMerger, but is the
