I am using an SQLExecutor to write spatial data into an ArcGIS Enterprise database table.It took me a while to get it done, and there is still more work to do but currently a smaller chunk of data is for the first time written into the table. What bugs me is the 4 lines of warning that I get for every feature written.Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Getting Custom SQL schema failed. Custom SQL query 'INSERT    INTO    building (OBJECTID,SHAPE)VALUES (27, geometry::STGeomFromWKB(here is of course the binary, 25832))' may execute in an unexpected manner. Make sure all columns are named (any ambiguous columns, e.g. GEOM.STBuffer(1), must have an AS clause). If there is an ORDER BY clause, either remove it or add a TOP clause. If this warning is generated in a SQLCreator or SQLExecutor, you can avoid it by picking Data Features in the Features to Read field the message coming from Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader

When adding a Geopackage Writer to the workspace and using the “Copy from Reader...” functionality to import a feature type definition (from a Geopackage reader), the geometry set on the Geopackage writer feature type is incorrect.Upon opening the newly added writer feature type, it doesn’t show any geometry. Opening it a second time then shows the Geometry as <All>, which is not a valid value for the Geopackage format. We’re currently investigating the issue and will be filing a bug report shortly to get this issue resolved. 

It used to work in older versions (2020?), but now will only use the value set in the writer. If I set it to 0 for automatic width, it results in "Error running translation"I need the cell size to be a specific decimal value, but the writer will only let me set an integer for the cell width.

Hello,Context : FME 2024.0.3, Windows 11I'm currently working on a project with source data and files “.shp” files within it. Each of these files has several columns, one of which is called “IdGen”. Only this column is not written in the same way according to the “.shp” file, example: IDgen, idgen, IDGEN, idGen……To insert it into our GIS, I would like to know if there was a way to change, at once and with a single transformer, all the columns having “idgen” regardless of how it is written to “ IdGen” as I wish ? All this with the aim that my FME project can work automatically during the next updates without having to use AttributeManager behind each of the files…Thank you !Antoine

Hello FME enthusiast,  I exported a data from SW to SHP using FME workbench and after exported i used FME inspector to view exported shp file which don’t have geometry.  but when i open  same shp file in QGIS which showing geometry as MultiPoint. But in writer (Shp) mentioned shape_file point not multipoint.  Does anyone come across this case ?.Thanks in Advance!

Hi All,Am attempting to read a feature service (actually several) that are open to the public on ArcGIS Online (AGOL).  I have created a new web connection using an existing user in AGOL for our organization (getting a token, client id, etc).The data that I am attempting to read is the ACS Census data (several different feature services).  When entering the copied URL from the AGOL website, and then attempting to select a layer from the feature service, I get the following errors.  I see that that it is looking in the content of my user, but this data is open to all.  This used to work for me before the changes in the web connections.  Where do I look from here?  I have tried this in FME 2022 and Flow 2024.Thanks,LorindaCreating reader for format: Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature ServiceTrying to find a PYTHON plugin for reader named `ARCGISONLINEFEATURES'Using Python interpreter from `C:\Program Files\FME Flow\fmepython312\python3

I am doing an inventarisation of all our scripts. Each script has the workspace parameters completed. This information is ideal for the inventary. I have found a way to do this adding each .fmw script individually, but this is very time consuming so I am looking for a way to do so in bulk.  I tried to use Directory reader to initially find all the .fmw scripts in a particular path, and this works, however I do not find a way now from this list how to extract info from inside the various files. I tried the FeatureReader transformer as I used this before to extract DWG files in bulk, but that does not seem to work for .fmw files.

Hello, I’m a beginner to FME and need help with how to exctract the images from a scanned pdf to fit with the OCR text I got from Tesseract. The idea is to create new pdf files from the scanned ones where you can copy the text and so on, and I also want to keep the original layout of the text and images. I have attached two images to illustrate what I mean. One is of the original scanned pdf and the other is my OCR extracted text and where I want to put the images. Also attached is my workspace.  Thanks!

Hi, I have a workspace that writes a XLSX from a template. The source features come from Smallworld (there's also a very simple Excel spreadsheet that is joined in the process). I can run it in FME Desktop 2018 (32) + Smallworld 4.3 with no problem. But when I run it in FME Desktop 2021 (64) + Smallworld 5.2, the resulting XLSX seems to be corrupted. While starting Excel, I get a message: "We found a problem with some content in... <file name>. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes". After clicking Yes, Excel does its recovery thing, and tells me "Removed Feature: Named range from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)". To rule out an Excel problem, I opened both output files (FME 2018 and FME 2021) in the same computer, and got the errors only in the FME 2021/Smallworld 5 file. I also see these warnings in the FME log when

Hello,We are trying to manage changing attachments on a feature layer on ArcGIS Online using FME. We can successfully read, compare, and add attachments using a combination of HTTP Callers and Python Callers. However, we are having difficulties deleting attachments that are no longer relevant. The easy solution would be to delete the entire record but we are trying to avoid that.Has anyone had success at using the deleteAttachments POST request outlined in the ESRI’s api guide.https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/delete-attachments/Or has anyone found another way of managing attachments?Thanks,

I’m trying to write a PDF, currently attached to a GIS point feature class, to a PDF file. Preference being that this would be an additional page to another. I currently have a FeatureReader accessing the Attribute Table for the feature class. I have tried using the Adobe PDF GeoSpatial Writer but I am not getting anything but a blank PDF document. Is there a transformer or set of transformers that handles this specific workflow? The Data attribute on the Attachments table contains the original PDF document’s information.Thank you all, 

I would like to be able to update a Microsoft SharePoint term store and terms using FME. Has anyone done this using the httpcaller or any other method? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,I’m trying to write an existing ESRI GDB relationship 1:1. I have watched a few of the FME articles material here https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407490028813-Writing-Geodatabase-Relationship-Classes  but can’t get it to work. Here is the scenario:I have created the relationship (1:1) manually in ArcPro as the relations can’t be created using FME. The relation is one to one and needs to be done by Title_Number field. I have also created the relevant fields after reading the article above, here is an screenshot of the AttributeCreator:   Here is an screenshot of the relationship in ArcGIS:

Hi,Is there a hidden Zoom limit which can be changed in the Geometry Parameter setings which prevents users to zoomin further than a specific level like (z21 in Google)? Or is this a “feature” of the Leaflet source code behind the this function? I can understand the limit for Google Maps but when using our own custom WMTS layer we shouuldn’t be stoped by this limit. And no  I cannot see any references to this in the online doco:  https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407744364941-Using-the-Geometry-ParameterCheers,Baris

Using generic feature reader to access a JPEG via a URL, that is an attachment for an ArcGIS Portal feature layer and requires authentication: this works well when explicitly stating the URL as the Dataset as the reader has the option to network authenticate in this mode. However, when the URL is supplied within an attribute, the reader has no authentication option and so the self same JPEG as above will fail with the message : 2022-06-29 16:47:51| 0.1| 0.0|ERROR |JPEG reader: `\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\1\\wbrun_1656380366772_18540\\fmetmp_4\\TempFS_1656478070812_2916\\4' exists but could not be opened.

Hey all, I often receive multiple AutoCAD drawings which I need to convert to ArcGIS feature classes. I configured my reader as 'Single Merged Feature Type' to read all the features in one input port. At the end of my workflow I want to save the features by dividing them over the feature classes of the unique combination of autocad file name (fme_basename) and GIS geometry type.  I tried to use the geometryfilter to filter on point, line & polygon features followed by a string concatenator to then create a new attribute that contains the combination of fme_basename and geometry (point, line, polygon). I then tried to use a fanout by setting the feature class or table name in the writer to the created attribute and ticked the dynamic schema option and set the fme_feature_type as schema definition name. The result is however not completely what I wanted because I end up with for example different feature classes for arcs and lines while in arcgis these are both consi

I have a filegb that I want to append a value from an oracle non-spatial dataset where the address and postcode match. But keep getting the error “The SQL query contains an expression or a global parameter so cannot be evaluated without a feature. Please run translation instead.” Any ideas please how I can resolve this? 

​Hello, Would anyone know if there is a way to use the Search Envelope by updating from a choice parameter? For example, I have these certain polygons that delimit the area I want to analyze:Every time I want to analyze an area I have to change the values ​​of the X,Y parameter (min and max):  To solve the problem, I created a choice that shows the area number on the Display but the values ​​read are the bound coordinates. And I created hidden parameters called Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax, These parameters look at this choi

Hello All,  I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to figure this out - I have to align points on the lines without overlapping with each other. I have used Anchorsnapper(segment snapping..group by line global id). I have passed lines to anchors and points to candidates. The results have some overlapping points (using matcher). To disperse along the line, using sampler and offsetting by 5 ...and still some points are overlapped...so tried to -5 offset the points and then snap to line. I am still ending up with some overlapping points.  Is there a better way to achieve this?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Naveen

Hi,Is it possible to change the skins of FME 2016?I installed FME 2016 and I would like to return to the classic skins (FME 2015 or 2014).It is not ugly, but it is not my style.It would be cool to have several skins for FME :- FME in DOS- FME dark- FME pink- FME comicsI like to program XML or JavaScript into a black background, I think my eyes would like it for FME too.Thanks.

Hi, and of course “HELP!” 😁I need to take some values in a column and create column names from them, taking the associated values with them.My starting table looks like this (note this is in Excel, but the table exists within an FME workflow, I am just showing it like this to make it easier to understand… hopefully!!!!!):  Asset_ID is my unique identifier. You will see there are either 3 or 4 duplicates of that number.Column B “CHAR_TYPE_CD” has the values I want to turn into new column headings, combined with the existing column headings in C, D, and E.This is ultimately what I want it to look like: Note The value

Hello everyone,I was wondering if there is an environment variable available for the R interpreter.If I look at the following post, there appears to be an environment variable for python, but not for R.It would be nice that the R interpreter would be able to look at a certain folder on the C disk for example and when there is different version of R, then the R interpreter would automatically change it.For now, I manually changed the interpreter, however ideally I would like during an update of R, that the R interpreter would automatically change the R interepreter.Does anyone know whether that is possible or might be possible in the near future?
