I'm attempting to read in address points from a shapefile and filter them by the "County" attribute field. I'm using the AttributeFilter and trying to import all the values to route the points to their respective ports. When I try to import the values in the transformer, the only value showing up is that of the first feature. Not all of them. When I attach a second attribute filter, all the values show up. I guess I can go about the workflow doing it this way, but it seems like all the values should be showing up in the first attribute filter. Any suggestions?

I have been given a .JSON file to try and convert into an output Esri File Geodatabase format. I have managed to flatten the nested JSON values into attributes, and can view these ok. However, I am having a real issue trying to get my workbench to read the coordinate values that make up the polygon geometry objects. If someone could assist that would be much appreciated. I have attached a file, but stripped it back just to include the line containing the coordinate information for one polygon. Thanks, R 

Hello,i am facing the following task. csv-files that have different headers (different columns) are to be processed. In other words, file1 has a set of attributes, file2 has a different set of attributes, etc. In a Python start up script, the different columns are determined whenever the workbench is started. Now i would like to use these attributes within published parameters. The idea:A published parameter “p_city” asks for the column which corresponds to “p_city” (name of the city). The user can select among the columns that have previously been determined by the start up script.How can i pass the determined columns from the start up script to a fme parameter? Or do you have a better idea?Best wishes 

Hi, I’m looknig for a way to colorize polygons based on attribute value for writing to HTML and further use in data streaming service with workspace app. Each polygon have attributes with unique name and color.I want to apply these colors to based on the values in the “name” attribute. I know it’s possible to replace text in the “html_content” using the string replacer but how can I make use of my existing attributes when adding eg. a javaScript function? I guess I need to populate the feature properties dynamically from name attribute:However my edits seem to be omitted when written to final html…Any examples/ideas on this

Hello Forum, I need to convert a tab file to geojson, which is ordinarily a simple task. However I am getting this error message…“MITAB Reader: Unsupported table type 'NativeX' in file #######################.  This type of .TAB file cannot be read by this library.”Note that the # symbols are masking the UNC path and file name.Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks,Stuart 

I use a workspace that reads a list of data sources in an Excel file. The data sources are either a gml file, in url format or not, or wfs urls. The workspace reads the data and converts and merges it into one filegdb.In total, the workspace processes approx. 50,000 features. Nevertheless, the following error message often occurs: HTTP transfer error: 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' when reading (with a FeatureReader) the WFS sources. See also the discussion in: problem-wfs-query-5215.Findings (including those based on) this last discussion:Increasing Timeout values ​​or limiting the maximum number of features to be read does not seem to have any effect.  Another suggestion to read the GetFeature request via a browser resulted in the expected XML content for most services, but for the wfs that gives the HTTP transfer error, in an image with only coordinates and attribute values ​​in text format. It can take a while for the browser (Chrome in this case) to convert the read v

HiI’m using oData web service url to do http request and extract data.The request fetches every 5000 requests, I want to loop until ‘oData.nextlink’ attribute in the data is nil\empty.Its frustratingly taking so long to resolve this issue !FME doesn’t allow feature holder\sampler in loop, and there is no proper help\round about method.And can’t see \ debug from custom transformer fmx file .. so, how to resolve ?Attached are my ETLs, (main ETL & custom) (2023.0 version) for reference, can anyone please help identify issue and advise for fix Please ?Thanks  

Hello, Hope I am posting thing in the correct area! I have an FME workbench that takes a series of inputs, overlays them and sends them to point feature on our AGOL server. This process worked until yesterday when all of a sudden I keep getting an error message saying that it cannot find the REST service.“ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type 'Utility Side _ Customer Side'”What is weird is that I have a reader for the exact same service that can see and read the service the writer cannot seem to find.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of making available a new Windows VM for FME Form users within our organisation. Our IT guys anticipated also using this machine for ArcGIS powerusers; but that's not preferred by the application manager team.As such it has some lovely CUDA GPU capacity assigned. Which is a bit of a waste if we don't use it. Can FME use CUDA for certain work? Are there plans for using CUDA?If there is no clear case for retaining the GPU, i intend to give it back to the resource pool. There is no guarentee I can ask it back: it is a finite resource, first come first serve.

Hey. Hey. I have a problem with GeoJson. GeoJson automatically writes the geometry and I would need to write an extra "layer" block to this geometry block, see attachment layer. I tried to create a template on json templater see fmwt, but it doesn't work. The idea of this template was that I would define the structure as json including the "layer" block and then write it as text with all parameters as geoJson, but I don't know if this is a good way to go. Would you recommend me any other options? I also have the schemas available, but I'm not sure on which transformer and in what combination with other transformers to use them to achieve the result. Thank you very much

Part of the handshake is described as:Upon receiving the Server Hello containing the Client Certificate request & list of Distinguished CA names, the client will perform the following steps:The client uses the CA list available in the SERVER HELLO to determine the mutually trusted CA certificates.The client will then determine the Client Certificates that have been issued by the mutually trusted Certification Authorities.The client will then present the client certificate list to the user so that they can select a certificate to be sent to the Server.So the last part of this states the cert list is provided to the user so they can select the cert to sent to the server. In this case the user is FME. How does it select which cert to pass to the server? 

Hi all,  I did not found the way to remove the M dimension from a shapefile to include it into a postgis geometry defined as linestringZ.  Do you know the transforer to be used ?  Thanks,  Pierre 

Hello all,I have succeeded in building a workspace that Reads from Oracle and Writes a fileGDB that includes metadata for the feature layer in the fileGDB. I used an XMLTemplater to achieve this.I am successful when I use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)However, I would prefer to use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)But when I substitute this Writer, it fails to include the metadata for the feature layer.Is there some setting that I am missing?Or is this functionality just missing from the Open API Writer?

Hello,please help me! During translation I can read error message "ERROR |MULTI_WRITER: No MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{*} or MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{NULL} was specified" -> whats wrong please?

I have a need to access some advanced graph algorithms in the RAPIDS (rapids.ai) package from a PythonCaller, which is normally installed as a Conda environment.  I have found a few references on selecting the Conda-environment-specific Python interpreter, but unfortunately, they all assume we are running under Windows.  We are running Ubuntu Linux, and the Linux installation of FME Form (as well as the macOS installation) doesn’t support custom interpreters.Any ideas on how I can get around this?  I’ve previously managed to install pip packages into the standard FME interpreter environment with no issues, but it’s very difficult to successfully install RAPIDS using pip due to its many binary dependencies.

I have created a series of workbenches that populate an ESRI File Geodatabase. Each workbench corresponds to an individual feature dataset. I have created a workbench with Workspace Runners for each of the individual workbenches so I can run them from there instead of individually.I have used a schemaScanner in the individual workbenches because the schema may change on the incoming datasets without my knowledge. For this reason I had set the first workbench run to overwrite the geodatabase instead of truncate to account for schema changes when doing geodatabase updates. However when I try to run it, I get an error that the geodatabase is locked. To get around this, at the beginning of the workbench I’d like to delete the existing geodatabase and then run each of the workbenches to recreate it. To do this I have read I should move the geodatabase to a temporary folder that FME will then delete at the end of the workbench run. I am have used the temp path creator to create an attribute

I´m in need to calculate the shortest distance in 3d between a set of basepoints and a line.Something similar to a Neighborfinder in 3d mode.Do any of you know a way to do this? 

Hello Forum, I need to find the records from one dataset where the value in one of its attributes is the same as the value of an attribute in another dataset. For example, If I have two datasets (A and B) I want the output to show which records in A have shared value in B, based on a specified attribute. I want the output to be a selection of A. Something like this…  I’ve tried Matcher, but that didn’t work for me. Thanks,Stuart

I remember back in 2021 when this happened, someone from Safe was able to point me to where the “recover” file was saved. Please help me again as i have created a very robust workspace but have not saved it and it would take me 3 hrs to recreate this workspace

I’m a newby to FME.I’m about to write workspaces to refresh a list of AGOL feature services.  So far I’ve written a simple one that works on a small service.I’ve got a few questions.When I search for potential pitfalls in this forum, they are 5+ years ago and relate to AGOL time outs and also issues updating large datasets.  .  I’m on the latest release of Form & will use Flow (Hosted).  Are these issues still relevant these days ?My largest dataset is our Cadastre being about 140K features.  Am I safe to use the Writer ? I am doing truncate & inserts.  One might argue that I could use ChangeDetector beforehand, however, I reckon the processing required to compare 140K features would be greater than a simple truncate & insert. (am I right?) If an error is encountered, I would like to quickly restore the destination feature service back to what it was. Any tips on the best approach to doing that ?  My idea is to copy the destination service elsewhere in AGOL before commencin

I have an FME workbench that runs every 10 minutes that reads from an ESRI Feature class in a SQL database. Once in a blue moon I get the following warnings.Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. This feature, and any other feature from 'xxx' that cannot be read, will be skipped. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147154945'Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. Aborting reading from table 'xxx'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216010' Yet the next run 10 minutes later has no problems. When this occurs I want the workbench to stop rather than proceeding with the incomplete data set. Is there a way to force a termination when this happens?

Hi, I'm attempting to classify the ground from point cloud data using FME transformers, but I haven't been able to achieve the expected results. Could you please provide a detailed workflow for ground classification in FME? I specifically want to generate a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the ground, excluding other features. Thanks! Classification Point cloud Orthomosaic 

Hello everyone,I have the following data structure and I don’t know which solution would be the best in FME Form to get the required result:attribute1; attribute2; attribute3Kreuzberg; Rom; group 1Berlin; Kreuzberg; group 1England; London; group 4London; England; group 4Lissabon; Carrer; group 2Carrer; Lissabon; group 1Kreuzberg1; Rom; group 1Rom; Kreuzberg2; group 1I need to create a group_id attribute that has the same id where attribute1 values reappear in attribute 2 and vice versa + the features need to have the same attribute3 to get the same group_id. This is how the output should look like:attribute1; attribute2; attribute3;group_idKreuzberg; Rom; group 1;1Berlin; Kreuzberg; group 1;1England; London; group 4;2London; England; group 4;2Lissabon; Carrer; group 2;3Carrer; Lissabon; group 1;4Kreuzberg1; Rom; group 1;5Rom; Kreuzberg2; group 1;5Thanks for helping!

I’m following this API documentation to authenticate and can successfully do so in Postman.  However, with the HTTPCaller it keeps returning a 400 error:    "error": {        "code": "no_grant_type_provided",        "message": "Bad Request",        "status": 400    },I feel like I’m close but can’t crack this nut...what am I doing wrong?? Postman:Postman HTTPCaller:HTTPCaller 

I have several polygons. They follow a line pattern where tre long polygons should be one large, and by that i mean that there should be no space between them, and instead of three long polygons it should be one large. The following image shows three pairs, so these nine polygons should be three larger polygons.  Any idea how to do this?
