FME Form

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

Heya FME specialists, can you please give a thought on the next issue:Created a new table in PostGIS with FME from shape, using the PostGIS writer. (see 00_initiate.fmw) Point feature, attributes pkey and a, b, c with values. Insert, drop and create.Updated this table with the PostGIS writer. (see 01_update.fmw) Point feature, pkey, and only a, b with values. Update based on pkey, use existing.The problem is: We decided to maintain attribute c with QGIS directly in PostGIS but kept editing the geometry and attributes a and b in the shape. I deleted the attribute c in the writer assuming it wouldn't write it anymore to the database. That assumption appeared to be wrong and to prevent updating attribute c I had to use an AttributeKeeper in front of the PostGIS writer. My problem solved but curious if this is a DB writer syntax or a bug?Using FME Desktop 2016.1.0.1 on Windows 7. Uploaded workbenches in zip for reproduction.Thanks!

Hello everyone,At the moment I am doing a conversion from BGT to NLCS (Dutch cad standard)I have an excel file (bgt to nlcs conversion) which has the corresponding color, line weight and linestyle names that I need for the conversion to NLCS.I have created a seedfile and via the Line style editor in Microstation 2023 I imported the rsc files that I needed in the seedfile.In fme, I don't use the dgnstyler, but I just defined the following attributes in the Attibutemanager:igds_style_nameigds_colorigds_weightIn the Level manager in the seed file, I haven't defined the levelname and the corresponding style yet, since it would be too much work for me. So based on Fme I just hope to give elements their corresponding color, lineweight and style. Color and weight has been succesfully (see below for snapshot of the output in the data inspector), only igds_style_name not yet. I haven’t used igds_style, since I don't know the number and I have the igds_style_name available in the excel file, so

I am getting the following error message when I try to run my workbench.“FeatureWriter_UtilMaster (WriterFactory): MULTI_WRITER: No dataset was specified for MULTI_WRITER_DATASET or FeatureWriter_UtilMaster_13_DATASET or FILEGDB_DATASET”I cannot for the life of my figure out what the issue is. My only theory is that because it is trying to write to a geodatabase, but the data I have been given to test with doesn’t actually have any geography. The writer is Featurewriter with output format Geodatabase (Esri Geodatabase (file gdb open api)) with the dataset as one of the attributes.Does anyone have any ideas that might help, or think I might be on the money that the lack of geometry is causing a geodatabase writer to fail.

We are in the process of building a new FME workspace that is using the FTPCaller transformer to upload a file to a remote SFTP server. To ensure we are compliant with our internal security standards around cryptography, I am looking into SSH protocol versions and cryptographic algorithms in use by the FTPCaller transformer.My questions are:Which versions of the SSH protocol does the FTPCaller support? I know from connecting to a local SSH-2-only SSH server that it supports SSH-2, but does it also support SSH-1? (I hope not!) Is there any way of configuring the cryptographic algorithms used by the FTPCaller? Or, as an alternative, listing the supported/enabled algorithms?Thank you,Jonathan

Hello, I have a point dataset which represent the noise level at 1x1 intervals on a wall.  I need to convert those point into a raster  which i need to convert into a graphic (jpg or tiff)  Any ideas how can i do that ?Thank you, David

Hi Im reading an API with health data that updates every week. The goal is to aumomatize the process so FME reads this API every week to take out the new data. Now this API has an attribute called “temporal” which has values like this: “2024-W30” or “2020-W10” which is just the year and the calendar week. The data goes back several years and each week the last week gets added.I only want to use the latest data each week so what I need is somekind of a filter that looks at the attribute “temporal” and only takes the data from the current year with the highest numbered week which corresponds to the data that got added last week.  Any suggestions on how I could do this? Thanks in advance

Hi there!I want to let you know, that I'm writing a new tutorial covering XML Filter Expressions in WFS Reader:https://olivers-expression-lab.gitbook.io/filter-expressions-in-fme/ The basics are done.Please let me know, if it works for you and escpecially if not! Best regardsOliver 

I know this question have been asked few years back but unable to find its answer in the same thread today. I am using FTPCaller to download files from a remote SFTP server, I got logging in cridentials from the SFTP server admin and my computer is allowed to login to the SFTP server; which means there is no problem with connection and previledges. But FTPCallers responds with failed Initialization! any suggestion? Thank you!

I have a lot of polygons that represent buildings and I want to rasterise them but before I do I need all the polygons to be parallel to the horizon. I need to create a tool that calculates the polygon angles and then use these angles to rotate the buildings accordingly.
