FME Form

I have a feature class with cycling and walking routes (with ID and Name) and a feature class with the starting points of the (circular) routes. I want to write all the routes in the feature class to separate gpx-files. Each gpx-file should have the name of the route in its filename.I tried with the ‘fanout’ option in the writer, but the resulting files are no gpx-files and are very small (1kB), so without content I guess. Any advise? 

Hi all,I am using Change Detection to compare 2 geodb_tablesAt the delete ports, the correct number of deleted rows is 2But it is not being cleared in my writer, the result in the output table is still 11Please let me know how to fix this error.For the geodb_point and geodb_line data, the result is completely correct, only geodb_table has an error as I showed above. 

I try to read a dgn file using FME and have some special results. The data is in epsg:28992 (Netherlands RD new) which is in meters. But it reads lines with the following coordinates:189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.224907750701906 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304 189492.31740355192, 348069.1195426307, 28.22490763540268 189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.22490775070190The second coordinate seems to be very far off and not correct. I am able to delete the points from the lines which are that far off, but I wonder if anyone knows this as a bug, a feature or a setting?Thanks for looking,Niels

Hi,This is a question that is really related to another piece of software (lastools) but it is using a product of FME.Basically in lastools you can colour a point cloud by an aerial image (the same as PointCloudOnRasterComponentSetter). I want to set up a script to do it in lastools because that is faster for this task.Anyway, lastools only accepts one raster (tif) as an input. I have multiple overlapping rasters. The overlapping parts are identical. What I want to do is merge these rasters and chop to the extents of each input point cloud.That is all easy but I’m having a little trouble getting it to work. It seems that lastools doesn’t like the RasterMosaicker transformer. The input (pre merged) rasters work fine, and even the clipped rasters (clipped but not merged). Which I’m taking to mean my writer properties are correct. I can’t see any difference in properties between ones that work and a mosaicked raster. I.e the bands/palettes are all the same b

When I try to connect to a MySQL DB I get an error message related to the encoding format of the server. As I’m not an admin I can’t change the encoding of the Server.

Hi,I was wondering if you could please provide me with a sample FME script that uses PythonCaller or PythonExecutor transformers.I’m trying to setup FME Form to ensure PythonCaller is working. As well, would greatly appreciate any instructions you could provide to configure FME and Python and ensure that PythonCaller would work.Thanks, Wilfredo

Hi All,Today’s million dollar question: I have created a workflow to process some polygon and table data into a template GDB. The process isn’t too complicated but I think the most consuming transformers in the process are the DataTimeConverter and the FeatureWriter. I have done some tests but assume that processing around 94M of records will takes days. Mainly, writing 94M of records into a gdb template will be a nightmare.Here is a screenshot of the workflow, I have also attached a version of it:How can I improve the performance of the workflow and process around 94M of records in a clever way?Open to suggestions :)Thanks

Hey all,  I am very new to FME and this may be a basic question, But I currently can’t find the answer elsewhere so I figured I would post and see if anyone can point me in the right direction.  Currently, I am exporting from a GE small world database and moving the data to a FGDB for data analytics in other software. This is a complete export of all available data. That much I have been able to figure out with a few minor transformations. What I can’t yet figure out is how do I export only a small portion of the database. Say by a predefined polygon within the existing data set.  For example My DB crosses a number of contiguous cities all having a defined boundary within the drawing. How do I tell FME to select and export only the lines and other objects within the city boundary of interest and excluded the data within the other city boundaries? Ultimately I need this breakdown so I Can export this to AutoCAD since the full DB is entirely t

Hi FME lovers,I'm getting blocked when trying to access this website, via POST:https://lastkajen.trafikverket.se/api/Identity/Login Using HttpCaller from FME 2022.2, I have:But, no luck, a http_status_code = '400' is sent. On the other hand, I've had no issues using Postman:  I guess I'm not filling well the HttpCaller settings, right? Thanks!

Hello everyone , I am willing to combine 2 cityGML files that has the same CRS but with different LODsi need this in my studies project and i wonder which transformer shall i use , can someone help I am still new to FME software .I’ll be so thankful to any feedback ! Regards, 

Hello!I created a workbench using FME 2022 and then updated to the FME 2024 version. After the update, I also updated some transformers.Now, I need to revert to FME 2022, but some transformers are incompatible and not visible on the workbench.Is there a possibility to restore those transformers to a previous version to be compatible with FME 2022?Thanks!

I have a workbench that imports a lot of data into PostgreSQL (~90m records across 3 tables, 1 containing spatial data) and we've identified a possible need to vacuum the tables. The data is "cleansed" post-import via a SQLExecutor that deletes data, creates data if necessary. However, we're unable to vacuum analyze (Analyze is fine) the data once that occurs as it appears that the SQLExecutor wraps commands in a Transaction Block - which means we cannot Vacuum. Any ideas on how we can perform vacuum via the SQLExecutor or have another strategy we can utilise? I am unsure whether using the writer's post-write execution of SQL in a parameter is performed before or after the VacuumAnalyze option that FME provides. I've seen some information around setting Autocommit to on/off within the SQLExecutor but this does not work in the newer versions of PostgreSQL.  We are using an Azure managed database

Hi there.I was wondering which type of parameter is used when enableing vaccum analyze tabel in a Postgis writer feature type (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html) . Is it a FULL vacuum? all I see in the logfile is: Vacuuming and analyzing table ....Any tips on how to query that information from the database?Thanks in advance. Itay 

I am using inspection point before and after the CoordinateRounder transformer to notice that only few coordinates are rounded while others are left untouched.  Is it something others have noticed?

Hi,It’s been several times I can’t achive to do this, but I’m sure there is a way.I have the following table :And I want to get the following result : The thing is : I don’t know in advance what will be the name of IndA and IndB (and there can be more than 2 values, so more than 2 columns in the result table). I achieved to get my result table with an inlineQuerier, but I need to enter a fixed value for the Indicateur values.select "Zone", max(CASE WHEN "Indicateur"='IndA' THEN Valeur ELSE 0 END) as 'IndA', max(CASE WHEN "Indicateur"='IndB' THEN Valeur ELSE 0 END) as 'IndB'from "Input"GROUP BY "Zone" Any idea ?

I have an XML file generated by a specific SW, and there is an issue with one element, which content I cannot influence as I would like to. So I decided to try to update it with XMLUpdater, but I am just walking in the circles.The (very simplified) file looks like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><gdb:Utilities xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:atr="atr"... etc.> <gdb:Data> <gdb:BiogasStations> <bgs:Records> <bgs:Record> ... <atr:IDZone>58KVK-96</atr:IDZone> <atr:IDSpecific>0</atr:IDSPecific> ... </bgs:Record> <bgs:Record> ... <atr:IDZone>58KVK-07</atr:IDZone> <atr:IDSpecific>0</atr:IDSPecific>

The images are successfully uploaded, but the server assigns the incorrect mime type. This causes the images to download, and not display in browser. I have tried setting the 'content_type' manually to 'image/jpeg' - but the server seems to assign the mime type to 'application/octet-stream' every time.  my config is below. am I using the wrong syntax/config? thanks.... Multipart upload is as follows:  

I am currently trying to migrate my Geometric Network (GN) system data to the Utility Network (UN) and would like to include attachments in the FME workbench. Currently, I have a workbench that successfully migrates the points, lines and polygons (Assets, domains, and attributes) to target UN features but I am not sure how to handle attachments. Should attachments be handled in a separate bench?The attachments would be mapped from the source tables to the new UN attachment tables. For example, hydrant attachment table would be migrated to Device attachment tableCan attachments be migrated using FME? What type of transformers and workflow needs to be utilized to move this type of data?

I have a script that is supposed to run some .bat files base on calling defined SystemCallers. I have 3 System caller as each for DEV, HUB, and PROD environments. and I want to control which to run with User Parameters as belowCan you please let me know how I can control which SystemCaller to run based on user selection (For example: if user select the DEV then only the SystemCaller-DEV)

Hello there, I feel like this should be incredible simple, but I feel like I am banging my head against a wall.  I am trying to update the name value in this JSON, ‘cp2regions’ to ‘new_name’ for example: {  "featureType": {    "name": "cp2regions",    "nativeName": "cp2regions"}}  Using this this workbench;Set up like this : I can’t seem to find a good tutorial/example workbench on how this Transform works. Many Thanks!

I have set up a dynamic workbech with the follwoing setup. Its from SQL Server to geopackage. It has been working fine daily for months until today when i noticed one record was missing geometry (geometry was null in the target geopackage databse). Why does this single record fail to write? Checking the geometry types in the source database (STGeometryType ( ) ) for the feature type they areGeometryCollection LineStringI dont understand why it is failing when I am using a dynamic workflow in the first place?Where should i start to look for errors, is there anything i can do? I have been poking around for a long time to try to make sense of it. One thing i have found is if i look at the feature with the Feature information window there is a “fme_geometry” attribute with a value of fme_aggregate. The attribute fme_type is of fme_collection.The failing feature is the only one whch is a fme_aggregate, so i am

Hello everyone,I'm looking to place the maximum number of points within an irregular polygon, ensuring a minimum distance of 250 meters between each point. Initially, I considered using a grid, but I've realized that this method doesn't optimize the space within the polygon very well.Do you have any suggestions or more effective methods for solving this problem?Thanks in advance for your help!

I am trying to write polygon features into a Esri Geodatabase writer where the layer name is NV_NATURRESERVAT. But, the writer is trying to add a suffix “surface” so the output name will instead be NV_NATURRESERVAT_surface. This is not correct.First of all I dont want the a layer with a name like that. And second, before it reaches the writer the script filters out if theres a need to create a layer or not in Esri Geodatabase.If theres a need to create a layer it will create on in another writer. If there exist a layer with that name the flow will continue to the second writer. In this case the layer exist, I just want to update it with new data. So, up until writer(s) the layer name is set to NV_NATURRESERVAT. But when it reches the writer it gives me error messages saying that no such layer exist:“Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Class or Table 'NV_NATURRESERVAT_surface' must exist when Table Handling is set to 'Use Existing'

Hi list.I'm tasked with importing a lot of feature sets, each with its own set of fields/attributes. So I'm using dynamic output mode, utilizing the schema features read.Unfortunately the request is to add a "job ID", so I tried to append an entry to the attribute list of the schema features, but suddenly the proces fails, not recognizing the schema features anymore. And this without changing anything in the data features flow nor the writer.An example of the error message is:Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Writer: A feature has arrived with 'fme_feature_type' of DAF_DAGI.afstemningsomraade_908308, but the feature type is not recognized. Halting translationMy writer setup is shown in the attached image. Why does the writer suddenly confuse the fme_feature_type with the requested table name ?Or is the error message false/misleading ?The "fme_feature_type" of the data features are the exact same, I just manipulated the sch

Hi guys,I am trying to automate a process which requires to write into a new file-geodatabase everytime I run a translastion. Essentially I am reading data from 1 database trying to stage it in a new geodatabase and then moving it to its final destination. I am using FeatureWriter to continue the translation but i am getting a geodatabase is locked error. That is why I am trying to create a new file geodatabase for the staging part of the process as this is where the error keeps on occurring. Is there a way that FME workbench can create a new file geodatabase for my feature classes in a same workbench?Thanks!
