FME Form

Hi, I have a JSON that I want to "flatten”, Currently, it has this structure. {"A":{"id":"1","Name":"Aa","IsTrue":"True"},"1stList":[{"Type":"Yes","Number":"100"},{"Type":"No","Number":"100"},{"Type":"Maybe","Number":"1000"},{"Type":"Unknown","Number":"11"},{"Type":"Hh"}],"2ndList":[{"X":"10","Y":"100","Z":"Abc","Q":"Def"}]}{"A":{"id":"2","Name":"Bb","IsTrue":"True"},"2ndList":[{"X":"10","Y":"11","R":"100000","Z":"Efg","Q":"Klmo"}]}{"A":{"id":"3","Name":"Cc","IsTrue":"True"},"2ndList":[{"X":"10","Y":"12","Z":"Lmno","Q":"Stuv"}]}Just reading it with the following parameter settings doesn't work:Flatten Nested JSON Values into Attributes: YES I've tried with 2 listexploders after reading, but that also doesn't give the correct result.I just want the endresult to be a flat table. How can I best achieve this in FME? 

Hi,I have a FME workbench and in the Fanout Expression, i have to manually amend the date (YYYY-MM) in the file name each month from 2024-06 to 2024-07 when running at the start of the month for the previous months data.E.g. the fanout expression will look like this:R@Value(ba_id)-2024-06-filename.xlsx So at the 01st August I would amend the above filename date to 2024-07. Is there a way to automate or code the date so I don’t have to manually change from 2024-06 to 2024-07 etc.

I am having 100 individual text files consist of Point feature..So..........At a time, How could i convert each files into KML files respectively? 

To reproject WGS84 (Lat/Long) to GDA2020 (Easting/Northing) in FME v2024.1, the only option appears to be via GDA94.  This moves the data approx. 1.8m NE as it assumes that WGS84=GDA94 and GDA94+1.8m = GDA2020.While this is usually what people use, there is a need for a second option of WGS84=GDA2020 (ie a Null transformation + Geographic to Grid) as other software packages, such as Conquest have adopted this.  For more information see: https://www.spatial.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/224396/WGS84_and_Australias_misaligned_web-maps_Information_Sheet.pdf. Is this something that FME will be implementing anytime soon?

Hi FME Enthusiasts,I am trying to run a fmw file by running a batch file. I tried to read smallworld data then convert into some other format. I create a batch file to execute but reader does not read the data. So I passed single record as input and ran the bat file it could able to read and converted into my destination format. but if i passed 100 records it was taking long time and waiting at “Getting feature using command number: (0)” it not moving further. If I manually run the same data with same fme workbench straight , which is working fine without any struggle. if anyone faced this kind of scenario early?.   

We have some text fields that shouldn’t have any UNICODE characters.  Turns out at least one has snuck into the data.  Is there a way to Test to find UNICODE characters and then remove them?FME 2022.2.3

I'm still a newbe to FME considering below.I'm trying to query open data from the Dutch https://public.ep-online.nl/api/v4/Mutatiebestand/DownloadInfo?fileType=csv (API-key required, available from https://epbdwebservices.rvo.nl/) to get the data from a csv-file. HttpCaller works, url obtained with JSONFragmenter (attributes to expose: 'downloadUrl’)+testfilter (to get the actual url). However, I can't seem to use this url in an FeatureReader or further HTTPCaller to actually get the data itself from the csv-file. Copying the url (contains a token valid only one time) does download the file from a browser as a zip-file, but how can this be done in FME?I tried to look at https://public.ep-online.nl/swagger/index.html but couldn't make anything out of it due to lack of technical knowhow.  Any ideas? Setup as of now: FeatureReader tried below (the response_body solely contains the url):Also tried '@Value(_response_body)[*.csv]’ for parameter dataset, but also to no avail. Another try with

I have read through this post to try to get a fix but it doesn’t address the issue i am having.The work flow is…use a Directory and pathname reader to get a list of zip file in a specific folder. sort by path created date sample the first 1 feed the path widows to the reader (esri geodatabase reader or featurereader [preferred]) I am trying to capture the feature datasets within the gdbI have gone to the parameters of the fgdb featurereader and exposed the geodb_feature_dataset format attribute as well as the fme feature type.I have also gone into the generic port and exposed the same. it does not show up as an attribute. i also have used an attributeexposer after and it is not possible to expose it because it is not there.If i change the reader to read *.gd this featuredataset still is not exposed in the featurereader.The only method i have had success with is to set the Output Port to One per Feature Type. This is not optimal as any transformer i want to use will have to be done on e

When exporting to shapefile from GeoServer/WFS one can specify encoding in the request, for my case I specified UTF-8.This shapefile has a cst-file that establishes the encoding (similar to cpg from ArcGIS).When I read this in Workbench/Server 2022.2 the fields have encoding cp-1252 and some garbled characters. If I change the filename to from cst to cpg the attributes come in with the correct encoding.Is this fixed in later versions, or should it be reported as a bug… ?

I have a LOD 0(BUILDING FOOTPRINT) file and a LOD 3 Building 3d model file. Lod 0 is in shapefile format and Lod 3 is in gdb format. The gdb file have no attribute value and lod 0 have. so i want to add its attribute to gdb. How to do it?

So I have a pain in the backside task I'd like to try and cut down to size.Basically we use a piece of software that automatically generates reports and logs for us and they can either be generated individually or as one large PDF. For my current project I need to generate thousands of these reports, which to do individually will be a nightmare, so I want to generate the single large PDF and have FME scan through the PDF and split out the pages. Each report has a location reference number and the sheet number (e.g. 1 of 7) so what I would like to do is have FME scan through the PDF, read the reference and sheet numbers, split out the pages and recombine into the individual location references.

Hi there, Anyone could help? I would like to build a FME workbench to run a multiplication for all the value if they are belongs to the same name. Attached a sample data e.g. I want to get the multiplication for armstrong_2006( 42*10*39*26), then I want the result to be added back in this spreadsheet. thanks. 

I saw that in this idea, writing dynamic autocad blocks was implemented in build 22098. Is there any documentation available for this yet? I understand this is still a beta build so it might not be available. The reason for this is im trying to write out FME aggregates as Autocad blocks with different colours stored as appearances for individual geometries within the aggregate and i cant find a way to preserve these when writing to Autocad.

When i try to “inspect feature caches” or “view sources data” it does not work and i get this error message :  I am not able to use any defaut background map. When I click on “OK” then the software crash.  Any suggestions ? 

Hi all,I would like to run FME Desktop automatically. After seeing some posts, the only method that I have found is using FME Server, however, I have not understood how it exactly works. Could anyone please help? Is there any other way?Many Thanks

Hello everyone, I have a small problem I am just starting on FME so I need your help. I have at my disposal a database in which there are many schemas and many tables inside the schemas. I would like to be able to retrieve a list of each last update date of each table and a list of each first creation date of each table. Here I would like not to do it table by table but all at once! Thank you for your help and excuse me for my approximate English! (For information I am on FME 2021)to be a little clearer I want to create a loop that separates me and sends me the tables one by one to sort the attributes then writes the result in an excel file the problem is not the sorting table by table but the loop and how to automate the sending of a table by a table, Thank you!

Hi, I have a workspace that i want to compare timestamps between two rows in a database based on some matching information.i’m using an sql extractor to pull the pertinent information, which spits out something like this: IMAP TIME                                    SUBJECT                   DATETue Aug 20 02:42:25 EDT 2024    XXXXXXX_#6337.4    8/20/2024Tue Aug 20 02:42:52 EDT 2024    XXXXXXX_#6337.4    8/20/2024Tue Aug 20 04:06:13 EDT 2024    XXXXXXX_#704.0      8/20/2024Tue Aug 20 04:06:41 EDT 2024    XXXXXXX_#704.0      8/20/2024Tue Aug 20 05:33:15 EDT 2024    XXXXXXX_#7274.2    8/20/2024Tue Aug 20 05:33:47 EDT 2024    XXXXXXX_#7274.2    8/20/2024I’m then using a StringSearcher to extract the time with the regex \d+:\d+:\d+ and this gives me the time in essentially a %H:%M:%S format:Extracted   original IMAP (for comparison)02:42:25    Tue Aug 20 02:42:25 EDT 202402:42:52    Tue Aug 20 02:42:52 EDT 202404:06:13    Tue Aug 20 04:06:13 EDT 202404:06:41    Tue Aug 20 04:06:41 EDT 2024

Hello,I was hoping to be able to create an FME workspace to be uploaded to FME server, that would run an SQL script (via SQL Creator) and create a CSV file that would then be uploaded directly to Azure Blob storage.I tried the 'AzureBlobStorageConnector' (using the 'File' upload option), but it appears that the file needs to be stored locally to use this option, which seems to be no good if I want to publish and automate this script via server. I also tried 'FeatureWriter', but couldn't see an option to write to a web service.Any help would be greatly appreciated!ThanksChris

Hello,as it says in the title: FeatureReader crashes on reading ArcGIS Pro filegeodatabase. For my work I built a workbench were previously data got written to an Arcmap *.gdb which worked flawless. But now since my company is switching to ArcGIS Pro, I'm had to update the *.gdb to the ArcGIS Pro standards to be able to work with annotations. After running it with that updated *.gdb I received errors. After some fiddling it seemed that the issue was resolved. But a few runs later I found out that there were some attributes that I had to alter to the *.gdb to streamline it for later production steps. No probs so far. After doing that, the FeatureReader i use came up with the old attributes, and not the newly inserted. So I thought, I'll repoint it to the *.gdb, after doing so, the workbench crashed…I've tried different things to find out where the problem lies: Maybe a feature had bad geometry? Maybe to many features? Maybe the *.gdb was corrupted? But nothing I did helped. As a last st

Hello, I'm trying to use AffineWarper to transform 3D data (x,y,z) from a local coordinate system to a national coordinate system. This works well, but unfortunately the z coordinates are not changed. They retain the heights of the local system. Does the transformer only work in 2D?The offsetter doesn't help me here because the difference between the z-values ​​is not the same for all coordinate pairs.Please help. Thank you.

Doing a query on a List named “LayerAttributes” worked in FME 2022 but doesn’t work in FME 2024.  Any suggestions on how to work around this issue?In FME(R) 2022.2.3.0 (20230131 - Build 22789 - WIN64) I was able to query the list and get results.  Here is a cutdown example where the query  Value(LayerAttributes{@sum(@Value(LayerNameID),1)}) gives me the same results as LayerAttributes{7} However, in FME(R) 2024.1.1.0 (20240729 - Build 24619 - WIN64) the same query doesn’t work. @Value(LayerAttributes{@sum(@Value(LayerNameID),1)}) gives me <missing> and LayerAttributes{@sum(@Value(LayerNameID),1)} give me LayerAttributes{7} 

Hi all , i hope you can advise on this issue. i’m using the cloud FME Flow , i uploaded my fmw file but when i run the workspace i don’t find the shape files at the Destination Esri Shapefile Folder.  any advise ?

I am new to FME. I have a geojson file with an array of features - for example under functionalClass i have 6 different modes of transport and under category I have 5 different types of roads. I want to create a new geojson file but using an existing geopackage (with only the attribute field called roadName as a  value) but I need the new geojson file to have the same array of features as the first one. What would be the best way to create this?  I have consider the feature readers and writers, JsonTemplater and JsonFormatter. But I am a bit lost on where to start or what transformer is the best to use in this case? Or is there an easy way to extract the arrays in FME so I can build csv files and just map them using an attributemapper transformer? Thank you for your time.   

We are moving to short-lived token authentication for ArcGIS Feature Service access.  I am able to use the FeatureReader transformer and pass the token and read all endpoints (132 in total).  However, I only want the transformer to retrieve a subset of endpoints. I attempted to create individual readers for each endpoint similar to what we had when using long tokens, but layers are now passing to the Initiator port.  I thought adding a GeometryExtractor transformer would work, but it did not.

I have a dataset with attributes where in two columns the start and end of a range (postalcode)is it possible to duplicate the attributes with the missing postalcodes?example:range tels me: from 7595AM  to 7595APthere are 2 postalcodes missing. 7595AN and 7595AO.from this attribute i would like to duplicate it to 4 attributes for each of the seperate postalcodes. thanx in advance. i am using FME Form 2024.1
