Swap/Rotate profile onto XY-space

Hi there,I have severale profiles, which fly somewhere in 3D space.The elevation always follows the z axis. The direction varies, but follows one direction in XY level.I started like this:BoundsExtractor get the bounds (aka rotation axis) GeometryRefiner do some geometry refining 3DRotator rotate around the axisResult:3D view2D viewred: rotation axisgrey/black: original geometrygreen: rotated geometryI expected the green geometries to be rotated around the axis, but instead they are rotated into 3d space 😵‍💫 I also tried to set the axis through the geometry (z = zmax-zmin), but with no success.Can somebody help?Cheers,Maria

Update sharepoint list

Hi FME fans, I am using the MS Sharepoint List writer to update values - this is using Feature Operation 'Update' using Row Selection 'sharepoint item id'.This works fine when I give it a new value, eg a different date, however if I set the value to null in FME the value in sharepoint doesnot change. How can I set the value to null?Thanks, Owen

HTTP call JSON parsing problem

I have a problem with parsing JSON which is the result of an HTTP call to get what I need. (See json files attached.)If I download the .json file and simply put it in a JSON reader with a query,filter for type:"Update Feature Attributes" and explode some of the lists, it gives me what I need:My problem is that I have loads of transactions to go through the same way, so I'd need to use an HTTPCaller. I've managed to get that far that with a JSONExtractor I can get "type", "ID" for example, but struggling to break down lists "attributesAfterChange" and "changedAttributesNames" - ListExploder doesn't recognise them as lists for some reason. Any ideas what should I do to get the list values/break down the arrays? Maybe it's very simple but I just cannot find a solution right now. NB: the attributes in these lists vary and not exclusive to what's in the attached json files, so somewhat making it a bit more complex...Any h

Snap a point to nearest line based on shred attribute value

Hello Forum, I need to create a point layer of middle points of streets. I have a street network (lines) where each object is attributed with the name of the street. I tried coordinateExtractor, which does produces points on the line. However, in the vast majority of cases it selects the starting point. But I need the middle point of each line. So, I then used CentrePointReplacer to create the centre point of the each street’s bounding box. This works but it finds, unsurprisingly, the centre point of the bounding box. These bounding box centre points -unless rarely through extreme coincidence- are not actually on the street itself. I need them to be on the street. So, I now need to snap that point to the nearest street using the shared attribute value. For example, it look at the point record for Acacia Avenue in the bounding box centre points dataset and then snap to the nearest location in the street network where street name equals Acacia Avenue. I’ve looked at NeighborFinder and An

AutoCAD Dimensions to validate angles

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used the AutoCAD Dimension attributes to validate angles?I have a example drawing below where the angle of the lines is added as text in AutoCAD using the DIMANGULAR function in AutoCAD. When FME reads in the features, using ‘Explode Dimensions’ set to No, I get a series of attributes against the text point with the coordinates of lines used to determine the angle in AutoCAD. What I have found is that defpt2 to deft4 aren’t always in the order to create lines and test the angle between them and was wondering if anyone else has had success in validating angles from a DWG?

Trying to run a workbench in FME Server via Job Submitter and find the output.

Hello, we are trying to use our FME server to run all of our data conversion via the API. We have created a workbench and uploaded it. We set the service to Job Submitter. When we run it we can not see were the output was written to. The log indicates that job was run successfully but the log does not have any mention of an output location. We have tried to set the output File Geodatabase location to a network drive: “\\nos.noaa\MCD\FADS\FADS_Projects\FME_Workspace_Output\Weekly_Atons” and a local server drive: "F:\FME Server System share\repositories\Testing_Nate\ALL_USCG_Weely_Xmls_to_GDB\output\Weekly_Atons"Any help would be greatly appreciated

Greetings, I used a setting that limits record input to 1,000 records before.I cannot find the setting to limit FME to read the first 1,000 records?? This is useful when testing a FME workbench that has large number of records. If anyone can point out the setting, it would be appreciated. ThanksClive

Aggregator transformer issues when concatenating attributes with null or missing values

I'm using an Aggregator transformer to group by an attribute and concatenate many attribute accordingly. I'm having a problem with the attribute column containing missing or null values. The Aggregator will populate the attribute containing missing or null values with the separator character when it should stay empty or null. Is this a bug? I've replicated the problem in the screenshot below

SQLExecutor doesn't produce a view with any geometry when it should do

I have many SQLExecutor transformers and for any reason they use to lost the geometries.The visual preview nor the data inspector show any geometry, only a “There is no geometry in this view” message.When they should save the results in the next FeatureWriter (in a postgis database) only the alphanumeric fields are correctly writed, but the geom field is fill with nulls.When I execute the same sql sentence in QGis or pgAdmin I get the geom field with the correct geometries.I'm not be able to find the fix for this issue. Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Parameters til Portal for ArcGIS-writeren

Hi,I have an FMW (FME Form v.2023.2) with 4 datasets, and I would like to save the results as ArcGIS Portal writers. Each dataset could change due to modifications in the underlying databases or files used in the FMW. These changes may involve the deletion or insertion of rows, updates to attribute values, or, in some cases, no changes at all.I would like to run the FMW once a month without modifying the parameters for ArcGIS Portal.How should I configure ArcGIS Portal to capture all changes for these 4 datasets?When I used Insert for Feature Option and Truncate for Feature Type Handling 3 datasets where correct updated, the 4th dataset “Alle_Adr_Adkom” got:ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: 0 features successfully written to 'Alle_Adr_Adkom', but the server rejected the 48751 features in the last request due to errors. See warnings above. Ending translationARCGISPORTALFEATURES writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details”I appreciate your helpElisabeth

SpatialFilter gives unexpected results

I'm using FME Workbench version 2023.2.3. I have 2 datasets, 1 dataset contains around 2,5 million polygons, the other dataset is 1 polygon (a province in this case). I want to know which polygons overlap with the province (even if the overlap is small). I use a SpatialFilter for this, with the 2,5 million polygons as candidate and the 1 polygon of the province as filter. Below are the settings: Now I noticed some issues, where some polygons who do have an overlap, still end up in the ‘failed’ port. Like the example below:I asked some colleagues and they don't know what's going on here. Everything looks alright and we have no idea why this doesn't go in the ‘passed’ port. It almost seems like a bug. I use this SpatialFilter a lot, so I'm curious what's going on here. I hope someone can help me to figure this out.

ArcGIS portal feature writer fails to fill certain fields when run on FME Flow

Hi everyone,I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. I have a workspace that writes data from a PostGIS database to a feature layer on our portal using the ArcGIS portal writer. When this workspace is run locally on FME form, it works perfectly fine. When it is uploaded to portal and run there, it seems to work fine (the amount of features written is identical to the amount when run locally), but some important fields are not filled. Flow and Form both use the same web connection with the same authorization parameters. Why is it that a identical workspace that runs locally can fill all fields fine, but when run on portal it seems to not be able to fill these fields??? I have put testfilters and loggers in between to check if the fields actually have values and they do, so it must be a writer quirk. Field names between the features and writer are identical as well (all lowercase) so I am at a loss... I am using fme form/flow 2023.2.2 and ArcGIS portal 11.1

FME encoded text (internals)

Not really a question, but feel free to add comments or thoughts below.We are implementing pre-commit hooks and centralized Python linters in our git workflows, and for this we need to extract all Python code from workspace files pushed to git. Since we do not want to require a full FME installation for this, we’re parsing the .fmw files as text files using Python and extracting all the code blocks within, before passing them on to the linter as if they were stand-alone Python scripts.As code blocks are encoded in a somewhat non-standard way, I’m sharing a Python function to convert FME encoded strings to regular text, without resorting to any dependencies like an FME installation, (which would allow using FMESession.decodeFromFMEParsableText) or other third-party libraries.It can decode FME encoded strings on either formatimport&lt;space&gt;fme&lt;lf&gt;import&lt;space&gt;fmeobjects&lt;lf&gt;import&lt;space&gt;json&lt;lf&gt;&lt;lf&am
