FME Form

Dears, we have recently upgraded fme server windows machine to 2022. Post that character encoding default changed from Ansii to UTF8 because of this files generated by our workspace having special french characters causing issue for interface systems. Earlier with ansii encoding format they were able to read files with out issue. Im not able to find how can i change to Ansii encoding fo rthe files generated by our workspace. As of now im opening the file in notpad and saving in ansii and then sending to them as a work around. Pleas ehelp me ot automate this utf to ansii conversion. Thanks

Hi everyone, I have finished a FME Workbench and I wish to share it throughout my organization via an ArcGIS Pro Tool (Spatial ETL Tool). To create an ESRI Spatial ETL Tool, I followed this tutorial (Create an Esri spatial ETL tool—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation) and this specific section: “Reference an existing FMW file to an ETL toolbox”.Through the user tool interface (as in the Geoprocessing pane), I would like for a user to be able to:-         Define the output file name and the path where the file location.==> Those two parameters work.-         Select the unique input file in a Geotiff format (extension *.tiff)==> Doesn’t workTo do that in the FME Workbench (ArcGIS Data Interop. Workbench) --> Navigator (left panel) --> User parameters --> Right click --> Manage User parameter --> Insert new user parameter of type “File/URL” (trough the green cross) --> Click on the parameter to opens his settings à In File/URL Configuration :Items to Select : FilesFile conf

Hello everyoneI have installed the module xarray with pip but I always get the error message :Screenshot error messagePython Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'pandas._libs.interval'Error executing string `import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport xarray In the old FME desktop version 2021.1.3.1 the module worked perfectly. In the new version FME Form 2023.2.2 it no longer finds the intervall submodule from Pandas, although it is present in the installation path. The Python interpreter is set to 3.8+Can anyone help me with this?

I have 100 items of data, which are grouped together in various sub groups using a field 'groupNo',I want to process each set of groupNos individually, I need to select a group, and do the following processes for each individual group: Take one item with status 'original' which has data and duplicate that data to the 'new' items in that group. How would I do this using the groupNo identifier? An example input output data set: Input:OID, Status, Data, Group1, Original, XYZ, 12, New, <null>, 13, Original, ABC, 24, New, <null>, 25, New, <null>, 2 Output:OID, Status, Data, Group1, Original, XYZ, 12, New, XYZ, 13, Original, ABC, 24, New, ABC, 25, New, ABC, 2  

Hello, I’ve run into a strange issue. I am accessing a polygon feature class via a SDE connection. Whenever I add the reader it does not appear on the workbench, it does appear in the navigator panel, but not on the actual main workbench menu, where the workbench is visually developed.item appears in navigator panel, but no where else. I can run other readers from other .sde connections but there is something wrong with this one. I can access/read the data via the same SDE connection via ArcPro. 

Hi guy’s A workbench that worked before gives me some crazy errors that’s driving me nuts.I used the workbench before and it worked normally.  It has to write some geotif tiles with deflate compression. No matter what I do, I always get errors about me using jpeg compression. I tried everything. Clearing cache, deleting cache manually, restarting pc, copying everything in new FME file, updating all the transformers, making a new wb, try running it on another pc with more recent version of FME... I had a similar question in the past and than the solution was to use a bulkattributeremover with ‘geotif_’. This doesn’t work either. This is the wb, it’s just shapefiles and geotifs as import: Any one with ideas?

I’m looking to determine the number of line segments (green) to the end of a network branch (road network) from a given point in the network (red dot).Ultimately, I want to do this to be able to determine if a network branch is a dead-end up to a certain threshold of number of road segments (i.e. 30 segments, but would not consider 5000 to be a dead-end...threshold to be determined)I feel like using the StreamOrderCalculator to determine the Strahler Order is almost what I want except that loops may be present (as shown in teal) which removes that option.I’ve tried various things with the Stream and Network transformers, but can’t seem to figure it out.I’ve also tried with a PythonCaller, but I really struggle to translate a Python solution on dummy values to one that actually uses features and their geometry. I feel like I spend hours fiddling with syntax.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Question of the WeekThis question was asked in Live Chat this week, but to be fair it has come up several times from various users...Q) I've forgotten the password to the admin account on our FME Server. Is there a way to recover it? A) In short, no! But because the FME Server Support team has seen an increasing number of cases recently where a customer is unable to log in because of a forgotten password, I think it's worth outlining what the options are at this point, and how to avoid getting here in the first place!What's the Default Admin Password?Up until recent FMEs, the default administrator account used to be admin/admin. You can see why we felt that wasn't a good choice, because it's so easy to guess.So now - although the default is still admin/admin - you are forced to change it when logging in for the first time. The username remains admin, but the password becomes one of your own devising.I've Forgotten the Admin Password - Now What?So at a later date

Hi, I would like to share a solution to an issue I had, just to hear what you think about it. The challenge is: to create hyperlinks in a Word document.FME allows you, with the use of MSWordStyler transformers, to create a Word document in a very versatile and easy manner. These transformers, however, do not allow you to insert hyperlinks into the doc.Please see the attached zip file hyperlinks-to-word-python-docx.zip for a workflow where the document is created using MSWordStylers, followed by some post-processing with a PythonCaller to insert the hyperlinks: POIs with a link to Google Maps, in this case.No, I did not write all of the Python script myself, hell, no! I used some existing bits and pieces and tweaked them a little bit to get the job done.The add_hyperlink function was found on github and the docx_find_replace_text one on stackoverflow and I only modified them slightly to work together to replace my search text, the POI name, with a clickable hyperlink. More than 150 line

Recently I have been playing/fooling/struggling around with the creation and modification of Word documents using a combination of MSWordStylers and the Python docx library, called from a PythonCaller. A very instructive journey :-)To make sure I don't forget immediately everything I've learned, I have decided to summarize my findings in a template. And because a lot of input has come from this community I will share the results here. Please see the zip file attached: images-to-table-python-docx.zipIt starts by reading Parcel information from a database (gpkg) and it creates a summary table in a word document, including a little image with the parcel plotted on an aerial image.Inspiration has been taken from these to discussions:How to pull a raster from an ESRI basemap to use within FME workbench, especially the answer given by @nielsgerrits​  MSWordStyler how to include picture in table? with the Python example by @ebygomm​ With some slight modifications I have integrated these two e

hello i’ want to assign one single elevation(Z) for all the vertices in a polygon based on the elevation point available inside the polygonplease suggest any ideas  

Hello... I’m new here, and I have a basic question. I’m trying to update a hosted feature layer in AGOL, but I have a 400 error about HTML. I check my attribute table, and I have one attribute with notes (string), and the character that I have a problem with is <, but I cannot change it because I need the information. So, I cannot use the text encoder or change the character. Can anyone give me an idea of what I can do?  

I have a project to automate creating an OWX file to import into IHS Kingdom Geoscience project. I can manually download an OWX well header file from Enverus Prism. This file is in ascii format and can be viewed in Notepad ++ . I do not see a transformer the can read or write the wellheader.asc file. My guess is I would need to create a custom transformer and then parse the data. Landmark may be the original vendor to use this OWX file format.

Hello everybody.I'm stuck I think over a trifle.I have a dataset with dates like "1970".I want to create a column allowing me to have date classes in it (for example [1970-1980[ ).It seems to me that I need to go through a testfilter and a creatorattribute but what I do inside doesn't work.Could someone give me a hand on the operation so that I understand how it works?Thanking you very much in advance

Hi, we had "FME Desktop Database Edition - Fixed" installed on a linux server. Somehow the application has been removed/deleted from the server and we can't launch FME app: 1- If we have to reinstall it, do we need to uninstall first? 2- How do i download "FME Desktop Database Edition - Fixed" for Red Hat linux (release 8.9 (Ootpa)) from https://engage.safe.com/support/downloads ?

Hi,I am trying to publish a elevation mosaic dataset as a elevation layer to portal but it is rendering as imagery layer. The sd draft created in the script does not allow me to set Lerc as compression and the default is PNG8.Can anybody help with ArcPy publishing for elevation services ?

hello There we  number of hexagon feature and we want to sample them , but the sampled features should not have any spatial relation to other one , in other terms should not touch the other sampled hexagon Thanks  

Hi there,Relatively new to FME and very new to JSON and API’s. I’m working with the Smartsheet API and I’m stuck on how to the get the data set up properly, I’ve gone down many of the JSON Transformer rabbit holes and I can’t find a similar example to how this data is set up. When I use the JSON Fragmenter, I get columns and rows returned as separate arrays:  The columns are set up like this: And the rows/cells:I’ve gotten as far as exposing the attributes for each array separately, but I don’t know how to get cells back to their associated rows/columns. And I’m sure there’s a better way than I’m doing it :)

I have a set of line data that I wish to buffer for a client.The requirements of their GIS system are such that the shapes must not be 2D reentrant, lack donut holes, and be OGC Simple + OGC 1.2 compliant.I buffered the lines to .0003 ground units (coordinate system is in degrees)Input feature qty is 9287.The validator only passes 8175 of them.Every failure reported from the listConcatenator is “Fails OGC Compliant,Fails OGC Simple”.Is there something that I’m doing wrong?

Hi there :), I’ve been using RasterConvolver in FME Form 2023.0.1 to calculate the standard deviation with a round kernel, so some weights were equal to 0. The results were always incorrect, so to understand what’s happening I simplified the problem and used a raster with all values = 1 and one weight in kernel (3x3) = 0.From what I understand, the formulas used in RasterConvolver for calculating the weighted mean and weighted SD are a bit off. Here is what I deducted:The weighted mean is divided by a number of values (kernel cells) instead of by the sum of them. The weighted SD: in the sum equation the weight is multiplied by a cell value instead of by a square of the difference between a cell value and a weighted mean AND the sum equation is divided by a number of values instead of a sum of weights.This may seem pretty convoluted (pun intended :)), so I have attached a pdf with a visual explanation. I additionally attach a fmwt file with two examples of RasterConvolver misscalculatio
