FME Form

Hi all,I am trying to show all tables with contents in a database. I have a database with over 800 tables. Some tables are empty, some are not.  Im using this query in a sql client:SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(t.[schema_id]) AS [table_schema]          ,OBJECT_NAME(p.[object_id]) AS [table_name]          ,SUM(p.[rows]) AS [row_count]    FROM [sys].[partitions] p    INNER JOIN [sys].[tables] t ON p.[object_id] = t.[object_id]    WHERE p.[index_id] < 2    GROUP BY p.[object_id]        ,t.[schema_id]    ORDER BY row_count desc  If i am using a Sql Executor with this sql statement i have a return value of more than 300 tables wich is correct. In the preview of the feature window i see more than 300 lines. But i dont see any attributes like a table name or the

I am writing a geopackage file in FME but when I try to use it in ArcGIS Pro I get this error message. Any idea what could be wrong?“Failed to add data ...main.GNG.anlaggningsomrade. Invalid parameter value passed to function[no such table: main.GDB_Items}”FME Workbench 2022.2.2ArcGIS Pro 3.2

This must be very basic but I discover FME and I couldn’t find how to do yet. I would like to find the value from the next row in the table to use in a transformer later.  For example: I would like to fill in the column C with just the informations from the column B. Can I do that in the TextEditor by saying something like “colB” +1 or “colB” NextValue?  

Hello everyone,I am trying to write data into an SQL Database which contains multiple geometries (This is borehole location data containing the originaly measured location (point), a corrected location (point) an a borehole path (linestring)). After creating the geometries from fields and using a GeometryPropertySetter for each of these geometries I am using an Aggregator followed by a MultipleGeometrySetter-Transformer. This is working more or less as in 3 Geometries are in fact written into the database which then also contains 3 fields with SQL geometries as set by the 3 GeometryPropertySetters. But there seems to be a problem. Between setting the individual geometries and aggregation, all info on the previously set projections seems to be lost. Upon inspecting each individual GeometryPropertySetter all points are where they should be. Inspecting the following aggregator shows all points off bounds somewhere. It is my understanding that the aggregator should simply

I am starting to work with reading and writing OData.  I can see there is an OData reader but no writer. Writing seems to be possible using the HTTP caller.  Is there a particular reason why there is no OData writer? Are there plans for an OData writer? Just want to make sure we are building the process correctly.

Is it possible to change the timestamp information that is included in the log file to UTC? I have been looking for a setting, but have yet to find one. This would be for the log files created in Form/Workbench, which currently log the time as local computer time.

I would like to create 5 cm buffer around 3 Cube without having rounded corners or edges.  Exactly the same as its original with 5cm buffer ?  thank you in advance  

I am clipping a raster by a polygon, but it sometimes seems to skip parts, I have the clipper set to Candidates on clipper boundary set to Output as Inside.  I know this poly crosses 4 cells, so this is what I was thinking would come out of the clipper Inside port  But instead I get this Any thoughts why it is skipping that one cell?  This is a single band raster and all these cells have data 

I want to set up an FME workflow which I can reuse for projects, in which input data differs. For this, I want to load different shape files into FME using a parameter (the shapefilename). These shape files have different attribute names, so I wanted to use the schema mapper to map these different attributes.The problem is that I cannot get a dynamic reader to work properly (I used feature merge). When I load in the first shapefile for the first project, the reader sets the user attributes to the attribute names of the first shapefile . If I restart and load in the second shapefile , it won’t expose the attributes from the second shapefile (the attributes from the first shapefile remain!). How can I set up the reader to be able to handle different input schemes and change the exposed attributes dynamically, based on the input files?

Hi,In case I select ISO format in TimeStamper, does it assume that it is UTC or not nesessarily?How to set it to UTC?  

Hello FME enthousiasts, I've been building a simple workspace for a collegue to get some parcel data from a public WFS. When I run the process it all seems to work (i get the desired parcel written to a File Geodatabase). But it keeps giving a single WFS error in the log, but the error apparently doesn't stop it from running:<WFS> GetFeature URL: `https://service.pdok.nl:443/kadaster/kadastralekaart/wfs/v5_0?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=2.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAMES=kadastralekaart%3APerceel&FILTER=%3CFilter%3E%3CAnd%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3EAKRKadastraleGemeenteCodeWaarde%3C%2FPropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3ERNN01%3C%2FLiteral%3E%3C%2FPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3Esectie%3C%2FPropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3EK%3C%2FLiteral%3E%3C%2FPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3Eperceelnummer%3C%2FPropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3E36%3C%2FLiteral%3E%3C%2FPropertyIsEqua

I would like to be able to parse a response from the Bentley OpenGround REST API, and am getting somewhere but not far enough!I can use a mixture of attribute exposer and JSONFragmenter to get some information out, but it never quite looks like the table i want. i will be doing multiple queries over the coming months into this api, and will have a different number of columns each time, so cant parse through each data record based on the number of columns i want in that particular query! I can get to the point where i have a feature for every feature in the database, and then i have a _response_body which i need to parse further. i can keep parsing it through jsonfragmenter, and i end up with a jumbled mess where columns are names wrong and the colunn information i want is in the wrong part of the table. it is a simple structure, such as “DataFields” “heade” for column name and “value” for data itself. i will add some screenshots to aid in query. any help would be great

Hello Forum. I’ve just run a workspace. It was successful and produced data as expected. No problems there. However it produced two errors never seen before… Is this anything to worry about? They didn’t seem to affect the workspace or outputs. Thanks,Stuart

Hello,In FME 2023 , in the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer the tolérance = “None” parameter has been removed. There only option of “Automatic” or “Custom value”.Question : if there was Tolerance = “none” in pre FME 2023 .fmw scripts, should we use Custom Value = 0 to have the same result as tolérance = none  or “Automatic”?Thanks

Starting soon I will receive about 150 XML files each with a different schema but the element name is include in the file name.  I have many ways to use a single FME workspace to process these files dynamically but have been unsuccessful.  I figured using a Directory File reader and passing the file names to FeatureReader setup as XML then saving to a Dynamic Writer to a database.  No joy. What am I missing for something so simple.

Hei, er det noen som kan hjelpe meg med å lage en fme-modell som konverterer 2.5D bygninger i sosi/quadri til 3D-bygninger ? Det er høyde på alle objekter, men høydene ligger ikke som  egenskaper.Ønsker et filformat som kan brukes i qgis for å bygge 3D-modeller.

Would like to hear the opinions of the collective on best practices for writing features back to a SQL database. Specifically Intergraph SQL in my case, but I guess this could apply to many formats.I have a table with millions of linear features that need to go through a LineCombiner process before being written back to the same database. The big question….what is the best methodology for deleting the old geometry and inserting the new? Two methods I’ve used in the past, each with their own downsides.•    SQLExecutor/DatabaseDeleter based on the unique ID. Main concern with this is if the translation fails after the Delete but before the writing of new features, those features are gone.•    Let the writer do a DELETE/INSERT (fme_db_operation). To me this is safer, but can take twice as long due to number of transactions.I can’t simply truncate the table because we are sometimes only reading a subset of th

Hello everyone. I am working with citygml modeling and I am facing some problems with appearanceSetter. I have a workspace similar to the con terra that I used as a base.Originally everything is fine but when I put an appearance setter before the roofSurface writer (ground or wall too). The geometry traits previously set are automatically modified by the FME. In the image below is the original output.And in this the output with the appearanceSetter.

We generate certain types of transformers (mostly HTTPCaller) with some attributes prefilled and want our users to be able to copy the content from a file or web source and paste it directly into FME Workbench, or use drag and drop, if possible. We don’t want to use custom transformers, which works, but the overhead would be overkill. The problem is that the paste does not work, CTRL+V does nothing and the paste menu option is greyed out. I tried with a direct clone of a working transformer so the format is correct. If I copy a transformer, paste it into an editor, copy the editors content and try to paste it back to Workbench it won’t work. I don’t know why this does not work but I persume it might have something to do with encoding. Does anyone have a clue how to overcome this issue, or maybe a workaround? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I have an object like the one in the screenshot which is read from an IFC file. And I have some 3D points in a GeoJSON file. I want to copy the object on each point coming from my GeoJSON file.And also, I want to rotate them in their place.  What can be the optimum solution?Thanks! 

Hi, I have this dynamic setup where a postgres FeatureReader reads the schema and the results are written to another database using this schema information to create the new tables. However, a table having colums of type unqualified varchar will be regenerated with varchar(80) and if records are loaded having length >80 the workspace will crash, saying: Error was 'ERROR:  value too long for type character varying(80)I attached the workspace. Is this a bug in FME or am I doing something unbelieveable silly?😕 I'm using FME(R) 2020.2.3.0 (20210129 - Build 20820 - WIN64) on a postgres 12.9 (Ubuntu 12.9-1.pgdg18.04+1). 

I created this line from a set of (X;Y) values of points : I’m trying to turn the lines straight and then buffer them to have a result like this: Is that even possible ? i tried using Bufferer directly then Generalizer , but the result is not good : Any Insight is much appreciated !

I would like to perform a visbility analysis as I’m used to with the esri’s fonction arcpy.sa.Visibility.I tried to build something and after goglling, I read this excellent post  which is not working for me because I’m currently bound with FME 2021.2 and the script  of this post uses a newer version.Is there a way to perform a visbility analysis with FME 2021?Currently it looks like the clipper is not able to work on TIN surface.Any ideas?

How do I write a csv file and name it using the value in the top / first row?I want just one file to be created, (not multiple files like fanout creates) named after the entry in the first row.For example in the table here I have 9 rows and 2 columns. I want to create a csv of all of this data but named “20231207.csv” As a secondary question, you will see the first attribute column is sorted into date order. If this wasn’t sorted into order, what is the quickest way of identifying the closest date to the current date, and then using that identified value to name the csv file?Hopefully this is something really simple!Thanks in advance.Stu

Hello yet again 😅I’m GET-calling a an online database through HTTPCaller which responds with giving me a feature in WKB code (in _response_body), then I run the respective code through GeometryReplacer and tried different WKB Encodings in attempts to get a geometry out of it (this should be a polygon), but no luck.The following encodings give me this:Hex Encoded FME Binary: Rejected (INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCE) OGC Well Known Binary: Rejected (INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCE) Hex Encoded OGC Well Known Binary: Ends up in Output and thus not in the rejected port but it does not create any geometry feature that can be inspected.The code is following, so if anyone has seen this before or is enthusiastic to figure this out with me then feel free to investigate:0010300002084080000010000000E000000931E86C64699244192E9D0891B741D41DBF97EF242992441C3F011010
