FME Form

I need to set up a workspace to write a file directly into a specific Feature dataset within an ESRI File Geodatabase - is there any way I can set this up.

HiI got an ZFS Pointcloud (here) with integrated RGB colors. These are greytones (concrete) and visible in Autodesk Recap. From Recap i can export the PointClound to an e47 file and the colors are still included.But i got over 1’000 files, so I want to convert them with FME. With the ZFS Reader i can load the PointClound, filter it with the header information as decribed in the help (reflection), but the color is missing. Regarding the help, FME can read the color from an color file, linked in one of the header information, but I got no such files, the colors are integrated. How can I get access to these RGB values (color_red, color_green, color_blue)?

I’ve got an FME workbench that picks up 2 seperate SQL tables in the two readers and the data is sorted and the filtered. It then needs to be output to an Excel template containing 2 tab sheets and save the data from each SQL table onto the separate sheets.Test copy of workbench looks like this:This first attempt only outputted the data from the first reader onto both tab sheets in excel.Then did this:So this did pick up both readers but instead of saving the one excel template with the data outputted to both tab sheets, it created to excel files with the data being populated on the tab sheet.Essentially I want to pick up both sql readers, sort them and

I am trying to create a workspace to read the contents of an Excel file from SharePoint directly into memory to then operate on, rather than download the file to a temporary location first. I understand that I should be able to read files to memory by using the SharePointOnlineConnector with 'Action: Download' and 'Download as: Attribute' settings, and have had a degree of success with a simple text file that I'm using for test purposes.​The '_contents' attribute returns the full content of my text file, as below:However, I'm not sure how to deal with this attribute to make it usable after this point… ​I've tried passing the '_contents' attribute to a CSV FeatureReader as the 'Dataset', but this didn't work, as the reader tries to open a file at the

This script works, but leaves out the geometry and original attributes.  My hunch is there’s something wrong with the close(self) function, but I’m stumped.  The code takes a feature id number and list of nearby ids from a NeighborFinder list, where it matches them up and assigns a _group_id attribute to  use with the Aggregator.  Really, it should be part of NeighborFinder.  The way I had been grouping features is to use two or more AttributeCreators and assign a common Id from the feature and id list.  It’s a hassle because you end up with duplicate features.  Very inelegent. I have seen a few posts on missing attributes, but I can’t see how they apply to my code: import fmeimport fmeobjectsfrom collections import defaultdictclass FeatureProcessor(object): def __init__(self): self.og_ids = [] self.closest = [] self.lines = []

Hi everybody,I have a map with 'Layer A' (polygons district boundary) and 'Layer B' (lines roads).I would like to add a field on my 'Layer B' table with the name of every district crossed by each road.In this example, I would like my Road 1 attribute to tell me it crosses 'City A', 'City B', 'City C', and 'City D'. And my road 2 attribute to tell me it crosses ‘City A’.Could you please show me how to make it? Thank you  

In an sql_executer I run an sql-statement that updates a table, but does not output any features. If there is an error in this update, an error message appears in the log file, but the translation as a whole is successful. How can I intercept this error so that the translation aborts if there is an error? 

Hello,I have a general question regarding the RCaller. I have been actively coding in R over past 10 years, and started playing with integrating my code into FME for automating some of the analyses about a year ago, but what bothers me most is that FME is always putting up a fight whenever facing more complex custom R functions, i.e. loops, advanced raster processing involving raster lists/stacks, LiDAR, etc. It is always a problem when trying to get FME recognize the results as fmeOutput, and it is just never easy compared to how other things work in FME...It just seems like the RCaller is so basic in FME, rudimental even, not allowing no unleash the full R potential within the FME environment. Hence is my question to you, have you guys considered developing it further or is it because nobody is really interested in using R inside FME? Or is it just my subjective opinion and I am basically missing something? :)@

Is there a way to specify removal of “white collar” areas in Adobe Geospatial PDF outputs? I don’t see any options in the Page Size parameters to restrict the output to be just the extents of the Reader-specified image source.

The completions API models were deprecated at the beginning of 2024. The current version of the transformer does not have model options like gpt-3.5-turbo. Will there be more options for models in the near future from FME's side?   

Just curious. Currently it takes about five clicks using the AttributeManager to get to AI Assist. Any shorter way?

Hello,I created bounding box in FME and I need to get from this polygon WKT file. How can I reach this in FME please?Thank You so much!

I was installing a Python module and pipeline (spaCy and en_core_web_sm.whl) into FME2023.2.4.  spaCy installed fine, but pip would not install the pipeline and I got this message: Since then, my FME 2023.2.4 will not work, at all.  No translations will work.  I made a blank Workspace with just a Creator and still immediately got:  “Error running translation”.What’s going on?  Did I break it?  Do I need to reinstall? My FME2023.2 works fine with the same Workspace.Any help is appreciated.

Hello,I’m trying to read specific feature classes from an SDE database using a user parameter within a feature reader.I’ve not had a problem with this previously so not sure if it’s a bug (I’m using FME 2023.1.2.0 (20231110 - Build 23641 - WIN64) The issue I’m having is:When selecting feature classes manually in the ‘Feature types to read’ section of the Feature Reader window I can select as many as I want and they’ll all read fine.When using the user parameter (please see settings in screenshot below):Selecting one dataset reads fineSelecting 2 or more feature classes I get the error “Error creating feature dataset 'feature class a feature class b'. The table name or field names may be too long or invalid for the server” Thanks for you time

FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64) FME FormHello,I have a set of QAQC workspaces that I’m trying to run in sequence with workspace runners. I have a parent workspace that, using scripted parameters, generates a bunch of output file names where I’ll write the results of the various workspaces, and runs workspace 1, then workspace 2 then workspace 3. I only want to run workspace 3 if my tests ‘Pass’ in workspace 2. So I write out a CSV file called _qaqc_status.csv in workspace 2 with ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’ as the only attribute; the file location is in with the data and is variable.The problem comes when trying to read the parameterized file name ($(QAQC_STATUS_CSV)) with a FeatureReader; I get  the following error message   Worker 27572 > CSV reader: Failed to open file '' for reading. Etc, etc.and my CSV doesn’t show up on the output ports. If I hard code the FeatureReader dataset to an existing csv it works fine.Any he

I am trying to join a SharePoint table with no geometry to a set of polygons (about 2000 rows). The table has unique project titles for for each polygon that I want to use as a join field; but the polygons themselves are stored as fgdb files deeper within the SharePoint file structure and they are a non-standardized legacy dataset that I am trying to aggregate (hence why I am transferring them all over to SharePoint as the first step).  When writing the fgdb’s I am also exposing the file path as the fme dataset field, so the unique project id’s in the table are a part of that file path. I am trying to use the string replacer to replace all the characters leading up to, and after, the project title with nothing so that only the project title is exposed. Sadly I can’t just count the characters as there are different folders within the file path with different names and character lengths so now I am trying to come up with a more complicated regex expression

Hello allI’m trying to achieve the above, so far I’m struggling on how to find out the KML reader ‘placemark name’ property, to write it as a DWG layer name.Could anyone point me out on how to do that? Thanks

 Hi, How can I shorten a line by 10 cm on both sides?

Hi.I’m using the snipper transformer to extract portions of a line at specific values from the attribute table.I set these parameters for the transformer. I set these parameters for the transformer.The problem that I noticed is that the program considers the first vertex of the line as 0 and the last one as the maximum, and the snipper will split between these two values.Is there a method to define the start value using another value, not 0? I would like to start from 4.21 km.Thanks.

Hello ,i would like to create new points and new lines in FME and write the output in Esri arcsde (I have license for that )I have to write the new data in Feature class and and table class and establish a foreign key  relationship between the data between the two classes .      1. is there other classes should I write the new    data into it ? what should be i edit in workbench and the next steps to show the data in arcmap without any problem ? Arcmap generates obj_id when we add the new point ,will be possible to write obj_id that not used before in arcmap ? does anyone did a simple workspace ,could upload it to understand the idea ? thanks in AdaVance Fme 2021

Hi, I am trying to do check if data is correct in one of my tables compared to another one. To do that, I thought about merging/joining the two tables based on columns and conditions. The common column between the two tables is the City Code (postcode). Then I need to compare landmark values, which represent the location of objects in space. I managed to join them based on the City Code column but I don’t manage to do the landmark values comparison yet.  More context:My actual data is fields of grass along roads. Each section of road belongs to a city (City Code) and is separated into categories of landmarks. For example a road within city 1 is separated into groups of landmarks ranging from 1 to 1.5;  2 to 3; etc.; and the field X is situated at a specific landmark value 2.5.So the field should be in the landmark range 2 to 3 because its landmark value is higher than 2.  The tables: 

Hi, I have a geojson including an attribute with datestamp values. An example value is 202410231836 (year, month, date, hours, minutes - yyyy mm dd hh mm). These are important as I’m running testFilters with it.  However I would also like to create a parallel attribute showing an easy to read UK date value from it. So, 202410231836 would convert to ‘31/10/2024 18:36’.I’ve been looking at DateTimeConverter transformer but couldn't work out what import format to use and what output format to pick - assuing that DateTimeConverter is the one to use.Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,Stuart
