FME Form

I am trying some network analisys (isochrones and route/gpx creation) and I am obviously doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what.I am using OSM highways, unfiltered (I also tried a local route network, same result). The only manipulation I did is convert it to espg 28992RDnew (because it's in meters) before using it as an input for the topologybuilder (also tried topology calculator). Since I have multiple start points I created a road network Per stop_id and used ‘group by’ on the topologybuilder and networkcostcalculator.  The results are very weird. Connected and (way too many) not connected seem random: (green = connected, red = not connected) Zoomed in:I tried pretty much all settings on the networkcostacalculator. When I try the shortestpathfinder it's also clear that something is off, it refuses to use some (random) paths/roads/lines. So it's obvious I am doing something wrong, I just cannot figure out what.  

Hallo FME community, I am new to this FME software and got a task.  I have 100 city folders with single .jpg and .jgw file inside each folders. .jgw has x and y coordinates of a reference system. Can anyone tell me workflow with necessary transformers to select each jpg with their .jgw and create their own destination folder and save the Geotiffs in individual folders. 

Does anyone know if there would be a performance difference between having linked transformers stored on a shared external drive compared to a local drive?I do not have much experience with linked custom transformers yet, but my current understanding is that there may be slightly longer load times when opening the workspace using the linked transformer, however no performance decrease in translation. Would this be correct?

I am running FME 2023.2 and have a dynamic workspace that is creating a File Geodatabase (FGDB) with a FeatureWriter, and I am running against ArcGIS Pro 3.2. Recently, I have wanted to access some annotation class properties in that GDB, but I find that I cannot access them. ArcGIS Pro says that the FGDB is version 10.0 and that I need to upgrade the FGDB to the latest version to activate those properties. I looked at the log for the last run that built the FGDB, and I see "Created and connected to the ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase at '[Location]\\template_General_Prod.gdb'" I checked the FeatureReader geodatabase version parameter, and it is set to "Current." So, ArcGIS Pro is telling me that there is a later FGDB version than 10.0, while FME, though set to "Current," is creating a 10.0 version FGDB.  I am confused. Can FME only create a maximum 10.0 FGDB version, or is there actually no later FGDB version ... or is something else going on? 

I am working on a process to read in dwg files, parse the text and assign metadata attributes.  I have one file that I am using that had missing xrefs.  Using RealDwg Reader, it worked fine.  But, when I bound the xrefs, it gave me the following error after reading in most of the file: AutoCAD Reader: An error occurred for dataset '<filepath>\FIRESPRINKLER.dwg', in function RealDWGReader::processDimBlockCommon: 'eNullObjectId' I purged and also made a .dxf file, but still got the error.  I am using FME 2023.2.4Using the regular AutoCAD dwg/dxf Reader, it worked no problem.  I suspect there is some entity in the CAD file that the RealDwg Reader did not like, but after multiple purges and audits, I can’t find anything to delete.  If I am going to publish this Workspace, I need to know if there are things to look for that would help choose the correct reader.  The file is in AutoCAD version 2018.Questions: Is this error related to a specific function in RealDwg Reader, or is it just

Hi,I have a .add file that I just could open it as a text file in FME. Do you know anyway to read this file as CSV? Or a way to replace all spaces with one space?There are irregular spaces between them, and when I open it as a CSV, it is not a helpful file.I tried to use SrtingReplacer to replace many spaces with one space, but there are many different numbers of spaces in each attribute.Thank you for your assistance.

I tried the FileExistenceChecker to check fo a online xml-document but it seems that it can not check url adresses (result -> DoesNotExist). It didn't recognize an url-Adress that the xml-Reader is able to read (See attached Test Workspace). Any Idea what the problem could be?

When reading FCL from ArcGIS sde database, also the information about the FDS in which the FCL resides is available in FME. There is no problem in writing it to another database in a FDS, even if this FDS does not exist in the target. If one would like to create the new FCL not in a FDS (in my case SQL server database) straight from the input, you will get an error creating a FDS.Geodatabase Writer: Creating feature class `ARCFMUT.FCL_BW_LOGGER' in feature dataset 'BW_intern.ARCFMUT.FDS_BW_DIVERSEN'An error occurred while attempting to create the feature class 'ARCFMUT.FCL_BW_LOGGER'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220969'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Must be the owner to perform this operation.}After some time of investigating this issue, I concluded that the writer tries to create a FDS using the credentials of the reader, which of course did not exist in the writer, even if I explicit had left the field for a FDS to blank.My solutio

I have two feature classes (FC) that are linked by a 1:1 relationship. Both FCs contain about 4,000,000 objects, of which I ultimately need about 20,000 objects. I understand that I could join all 4,000,000 objects, but that would take a considerable amount of time, which I want to save.My idea is to select the required objects in FC A and create a new list using the join attribute. Later, I want to use the FeatureReader and a WHERE clause query to read and process the required objects in FC B. Unfortunately, I am having a problem with the creation of the WHERE clause, so no objects are being read.My workflow is as follows:Read and select objects from FC A Prepare the join attribute for the WHERE clause (add quotes) Create the list using the join attribute Convert the list to a string with commas as separators Read the objects using FeatureReaderEverything seems to work except for the last step. If I enter the WHERE clause manually (without the list), it works. Below is my current work

FME Workbench ver. 2021.2.3, build 21812FME Server ver. 2021.2.3, build 21812Hi Everybody.Sorry for my Canadian French, I try to be correct as much as possible in English, you may notice some errors on my part.Yes, I know, we should migrate to FME Form/FME Flow. The steps have been initiated with our supplier but we must wait until the migration from ESRI ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1 to the ESRI Enterprise 10.9.1 version is completed. Premises:We maintain data that we share on a feature service hosted on ArcGIS Online with a subcontractor (different types, SQL Server, GDB and Shapefiles); The address of the feature service must remain constant for the processing of our subcontractor; The initial creation of the feature service goes correctly (an FME Workspace process launched manually for creation; We must replicate the update autonomously on our FME Server (same version as the FME Workbench, 2023.2.3, build 21812) so that the data is up to date over a 72-hour period.The update workspace fail

Hi All, I would like to know thatis there any possible way to trigger mail while running my workbench in FME Desktop/ Forms if it is facing a error?.FYI : I am using FME Desktop 2020.1.1 version. Thanks in advance!

HiI am using the HTTPCaller to get the information from Issues page in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).The AuthorizationToken has been created and looks good but once I am using HTTPCaller to get information form issues page,  the result created in “_response_body” is not in the json format so consequently I am not able to use JSON extractor Is there any step that I am missing?P.S:In “HTTPCaller4”in requested URL I used “https://developer.api.autodesk.com/docs/issues/projects/$(PID)/issues”*I have predefined $(PID) in User Parameter. In Header I used “Authorization Token” created in 1st stepThanks

Surely there’s a better way than this???I have a json file with lots of attributes hidden in lists. So I use 5 ListExploders to expose those attributes.The ultimate goal is to then combine all of those attribute fields into one massive table, using the unique identifier field of “NODE_ID”.As you can see in the screenshot the Node list then feeds into AttributeFilter to reduce the number of features a little.So far so good… but this is where it goes a bit mad. I then need to combine all of those 5 exposed lists into one table. FeatureJoiners are then used to try to merge the datasets together.Those in the left hand bookmark are joined using an inner join to try to get as many features with the same NODE_ID value combined into the same row in the table.Those in the right hand bookmark then use a full join to pick up any stragglers from the first bookmark.I have 200 JSON files to work on, and this example uses just one of them, so I have to try to account for all output ports, to ensure n

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 filter them and then output to the excel template but the data gets saved onto sheet 1 and sheet 2 for example for each reader and then save the one excel file to the drive location!Am I missing a step or should i be using different transformations, etc?Appreciate any suggestions? 

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 location specified within that attribute. I guess I've already read the CSV file with the SharePointOnlineConnector, so now need to work with the attribute directly...​Reading an E

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 = [] def input(self, feature: fmeobjects.FMEFeature): id_number = feature.getAttribute('_count_Glaz_H') if id_number is not

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? :)@dmitribaghThanks in advance.-Sveta

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!
