FME Form

Hi there,I have an Ascii grid file.The FME can read the file I have also added a Raster Cell Coercer transformer to create a shafile this simple workbench works fine. Issue - How the raster values can be displayed in the shapefile. The shapefile has no attribute data (cell values).I need to display the raster values in the shapefile. Any hints will be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much,Sebastian Algardi-CamusWorkbench Raster image 

Hi, as a newbie in FME, I am using a FME ISO8211 reader to expose some of the attributes for further transformers. However, if all records have to be read, a message “Message #706501 is not present in the message file: Parameters are >< and FME HOME is >C:\Program Files\FME\<” was prompted and the whole process was halted. The FME version I am using is FME2018. Thank you for the kind response!

I have an asbuilt with a table that has all the locations/names of  the structures.   The table layer name  is “text” and when i bring in  the drawing, the text layer is empty. Im sure its how i have my parameters set up so a little guidance on how to read this would be great. 

I am trying to upload ifc data through PostGIS Writer and while doing so, I want to generate and store the time of upload as well. However, it gives the following error: “Value of attribute 'begin_lifespan_version' could not be converted to type 'timestamptz'. Feature will be logged and skipped.” can someone help? I am a beginner in FME as well.  

Hi all, Since upgrading to FME 2021, I have found previous workspaces that were working in 2020 are now not working. This appears to be when multiple datasets are referenced in a WorkspaceRunner and through a user parameter. It concatenates the filepaths together and loses the double quotes and separation, causing the reader to fail. Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards,Jack  

Morning, I am trying to transpose some data from a survey, I want to sort of Pair up the Postcode and the Question Number, then have columns of Responses with counts. Ive attached images  and a fme workbench of the original data and the output I want. I have 36 questions, so want to know if there is a way to do this using a list? So I dont have to repeat this 36 times, I am not understanding how to do lists!I want to output the postcode as a column, then have a question number column. So each postcode will be repeated depending on the number of questions e.g.Question No    PostcodeQuestion 1      M19 4NYQuestion 2     M19 4NYQuestion 1      M4 7ATQuestion 2     M4 7AT Then I want the next columns to be counts of the answersQuestion No    Postcode  Strongly Agree      Agree      Neither    Disagree     Strongly DisagreeQuestion 1      M19 4NY             2                         3

I have a complicated collection of features stored in mongo db, where a given feature may have multiple unique geometries stored as individual arrays. I would like to use the “Put” Operation in the writer to replace specific features. However when I write to mongo I get two different results (see screenshots of dummy feature with just one example geometry).location.coordinates{} attribute type set to stringlocation.coordinates{} attribute type set to doubleThe desired outcome would look like this:Re

I am working with MongoDB trying to upsert nested MongoDB documents. The JSON format would be something like:{“name”: “XXX”,“tables” : [ {“name”: “XXXX”,“num_rows” : 3423,“fields”: [         {“name”: “XXX”, “type”: “yyyy”} , ….     ]}, ….] I have no problems when I use a JSON string attribute inserting a new document with Document Source”: Json Attribute” and Insert operation.But, I do need to UPDATE existing features.In this case, the nested dcouments (tables in the json above) are created as plain strings.  Which is a real inconvenience in my use-case.{“name”: “XXX”,

Dear, I want to link all the lightposts to the nearby road segment. I used a buffer around the road segments and then Neigborfinder to do this. Now I am afraid that some lightposts are not linked to the roadsegment but I am not eager to increase the buffer or neigborfinder because maybe lightposts that should not be linked will be included. Is there maybe another way to bypass this? Or some tips you could give me?

When I use the aggregator, the IFMELine becomes an IFMEMultiCurve.I don't want the IFMELine to become a IFMEMultiCurve. How can I prevent this?

I want to use the AzureServiceBusConnector to get the messages from the Queue.But if there are no messages in the queue I want to end the FME Job after 1 minute. Is there a way to terminate the process only if the queue is still waiting.If the AzureServiceBus connector reads the expected amount of messages I don't want to get an error, only if it's waiting for nothing.

Hello please I need help. I converted my Autocad Map 3D files to integrate them into my database using the 'Raw relational' mode because my data has multiple tables and one entity with several attributes. Currently, I would like to convert them back into Autocad Map files while preserving the original file structure. I'm stuck because I can't recreate my different tables (Table A and Table B). What should I do?

Hi,I use FME form through ArcGIS Data interoperability workbench and I work with the national Swedish coordinate system 3006 Sweref 99 tm. I cannot display these features with the standard background maps and get: This does not happen in the regular FME Form and they display without problem there. How can I solve this in ArcGIS DI workbench?Is the standard FME Form able to do some kind of on the fly reprojection to view the features on the standard base/background maps? Best regards,Karl

Hi Everyone,We are working on an integration between ArcGIS Utility Network and SAp using FME to connect with SAP via their Odata services and Integration Suite.We have successfully used Get calls from FME desktop to fetch a token and get information about an asset.When we switch using a POST call to create a new asset we get a response error of  “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden” and response body “CSRF token validation failed”The calls we are using have been successful from postman through integration suite.I have attached the workbench containing the current settings and the latest log file.Any insight i why this would work for GET calls and not for POST calls

Hello, we have a bunch of workspaces reading in from an SDE, all is fine in 2022 FME but after the upgrade to 2023 we can no longer read features that sit inside a feature dataset using the SDE reader. Features outside a feature dataset are fine. We have just discovered that a FeatureReader transformer will read them so maybe this is a bug in 2023?

I have an error message: ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '400' and the message was: 'Cannot perform operation. Invalid operation parameters.'. Details: ''deletes' parameter is invalid, Input string was not in a correct format.' ARCGISONLINEFEATURES writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsI have checked the log file but honestly I am not sure what I am looking for. Attached is the logfile and my AGOL service format.Thanks

I am trying to use the FilenameExtractor to get the rootname of the source file to match the new filename in a different source directory with a different format i.e. my pipeline is essentiallyMyFileName.xlsx → MyFileName.jsonCurrently if I use the source filename input paramter the behavior is like:MyFileName.xlsx → MyFileName.xlsx.json , which I don’t want.I tried using the FileNameExtractor where _rootname gets set as a user paramet but then the output is like:MyFileName.xlsx → _rootname.json The value of the user parameter does not actually extract the rootname and save its value as the user parameter dynamically. Can anyone help?edit:Scripted Python (safe.com)I used a scripted parameter at the start of the workspace but still curious as to why

Installed 2024 Form. Noticed that the mouse-over over transformers, readers/writers are no longer there. You have to click on the item to see the menu associated with the item. The properties cog is no longer on the transformer title, you have to click on the transformer to get to it. This doubles the amount of clicks to get to things. And the “hover” menu doesnt go away. You have to click off. What in the Windows 98 is going on here??????I would like to hear the focus group that said, please hide functionality and make us do more clicks to get to stuff. I normally wait until xxxx.1 to download but I decided to to try it out early. big mistake. huge. Please bring back mouse-over and put the properties cog back on the transformer banner because I did not save a backup on my workbenches 🤡

In FME Flow 2024.0, when PythonCaller hits an Exception it doesn’t specify where the exception occurred -- we only get Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::ExceptionPython Exception <IndexError>: list index out of rangePythonCaller (PythonFactory): Group 28 / 20195: PythonFactory failed to process group properly However, there are numerous instances of indexing lists that could be responsible for this!Am I missing something? Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does Safe Software need to fix this? (How do I ask them to fix this, besides posting here?)

Hi,We have an assignment where we are using FME Form 2024 version to convert a DGN file to a GIS format. For us to do it, the design file (DGN) needs to be reprojected and scaled to Web Mercator coordinates. I am not a designer, but a developer and learning about the DGN files as I go. The designers using Bentley’s Micro station tool.Using MicroStation V8 reader, reads the “Name” associated with the coordinate system, which is a free form field and can contain a name that the project designer puts in manually and is not a standard naming conversion.We are trying to read more information from the properties of the coordinate systems like the “Description”, “Affine parameters”.  The description field contains standardized naming that we could use since it is not editable by the project designer. The Affine parameters define the scale factor that will be used to convert from ground to grid coordinates.Need help in identifying how this can be read through the

Hi All, I am trying to write attributes to AutoCAD User Properties (within the panel) instead of exposing them using XDLIST Command.  I know how to do so manually in AutoCAD by using ADEDEFDATA Command and FME seems to be able to read these attributes, amend them or even add new ones and Write an AutoCAD File showing these attributes within the User Properties panel. However, it does not seem possible to write a new AutoCAD File with these properties or use a template with this table added to it.  Is this functionality even possible with FME? Have any of you found any alternatives? Many thanks for the time, Ana

Good morning,I am reading a DEM stored as a raster feature class in a gdb, clipping to an AOI and then writing to JPEG to be used in road design software.I can read and clip properly but having trouble writing to JPEG. I have gathered I need to set up bands differently but I have tried the rasterbandinterpretationcoercer and rasterbandadder and rasterinterpretationcoecer in various configurations/settings and can’t seem to get it to write a JPEG. Usual error is about the number or type of bands depending on how I set the coercers etc.DEM raster feature information Any suggestions would be welcome.Thank you so much,Corey

FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)Hello FMEers,I have a set of Esri feature classes that we are supplying to our clients so they can submit data to us using a standard schema. On submission we want to verify they haven’t modified the data structure using the method described here. The method compares two datasets using the SchemaScanner and works well if there is at least one record in each feature type. It doesn’t work if there are no records in one of the datasets to be compared. This is expected because there are simply no features coming out of the ‘template’ feature class reader to work with.My question: is there any way to achieve the intent of the abovementioned article when one of my inputs has no records, only the table definition? The method works fine if I include a dummy record in the ‘tem

FIs this a bug on FME(R) 2023.1.1.1? I’m using FME(R) 2023.1.1.1. I’m trying to filter some data using Tester and I used IN with a parameter has 2 items both of which are present in my dataset. But the tester filters just 1 record. Why is that? 

At this moment I received a DWG drawing with both Extended and Object data. To convert this data I first have to read with:Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3Dthen read withAutodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Object Dataand merge all features on the autocad_entity_handle Am I doing something wrong or is this the only way to get both attributes?Is it possible build a transformer that uses both reading engines because I think that would make the reader faster than current.
