HTTPCaller not grabbing all the html code

All,Need some help. I have a httpcaller hit a webpage but the package it brings back is only a partial response body. The first file attached is the response body from the HTTPCaller and the second is from copying the html using the Chrome developer tools. Do I just have a setting wrong?

Travelling salesman with multiple vehicles

HiI have a travelling salesman use case, where a fleet of perhaps 2-4 vehicles need to reach a set of locations in a municipality. I have used the shortestpathfinder before, but not with multiple agents/vehicles. Is that possible (finding the optimal plan for, say, 3 vehicles for an address list)? I found https://engage.safe.com/blog/2016/11/fmeevangelist158/, but it doesn´t mention more than one vehicle.

Corrupt GML file error

Corrupt GML file error Hello everyone, I am creating an FME script, the input data are DGN files and the output data are GML files. I am using the "XMLValidator" transformer which contains a template file used as an example to model and structure the output GML file. Here's my problem: I need to convert several DGN plans into GML. 1) : When I input the DGN plans created with the Microstation software, the 'XMLValidator' indicates no errors and the output GML file is correct and matches my expectations. 2) : On the other hand, when I input DGN plans created with TopoCalc surveying software, the 'XMLValidator' transformer indicates several errors: (see photo) - no declaration found for the 'featureMember'" element - prefix 'gml' can not be resolved to namespace URI". Error in QGIS when opening the GML file:".gml is not a valid or recognised data source." The GML file is therefore corrupted and cannot be opened... I ca

Export multipolygons into a GeoPackage

I have a workbench which takes two inputs - both are polygons. One clips the other one. After clipping I use aggregator to aggregate the polygons with same attribute and the output i want to write into a gpkg file as multipolygon. The workbench works perfectly if i write single geometry to gpkg or if i write multipolygon into shp. However it is not working with mutlipolygon in gpkg. I have tried many things which were suggested in the forum. But nothing helped so far. Please let me know any ideas. I am out of ideas

How to select features that have a depth of +/- 20cm when compared to depths from another feature?

I have 2 feature types in my work space. One being a report from field staff that collects data on manholes and another being a shapefile containing a "master" set of manhole data. I want to match features from the report to the master manhole shapefile based on an asset number, then filter out the features that are outside the +/- 20cm e.g. if the master manhole data has a depth of 1.1m and the report has a depth of 1.05 i want to ignore it, but if the report had a depth of 1.3m i want it in my end result. I currently have my 2 readers going into a FeatureMerger which compares the asset numbers and any matching are allowed through. I then have those merged results going to a ExpressionEvaluator which is subtracting the report depths from the Master manhole depths. All that is feeding into a .xlsx writer which produces a spreadsheet that i can look at and decide if i want to update the depth in the master manhole shapefile. I have a tester in their coming off of the Unmerge

As you can see, when I extract the data, it's showing me all "advrnum" with "td". but when I merger them so I get only one recoder of Advr 8 I need all rows.

En-masse data translations

Hello Group, I manage a large directory of geospatial data, mostly in .tab. But times and needs are changing and I’d like to have the data available in other formats such as shp, geojson and gpkg. In an ideal world we’d have a PostGIS database, but that’s not about to happen any time soon. So, for the time being, and probably into the foreseeable, I will continue to maintain flat files. In FME Form, I need a process where I can point a FeatureReader at a folder and, in as few steps as possible, write each one to .shp, for example. I need to maintain the name (done so through Accumulation Mode: Merge Initiator and Result, I believe). So, for example a folder may contain 20 tab files (Zones_A.tab, Zones_B.tab, Zones_C.tab etc. etc.). I would want to create Zones_A.gpkg, Zones_B.gpkg, Zones_C.gpkg, but do so in one go. I know I can read in files from a folder (via ‘Select Multiple folders/Files’ in the FeatureReader) and then publish as a different format to the same location (or differ

Set to lower case all attributes that start with a given prefix

Dear all, Very simple question (sorry if it sounds naive, I am newbie to FME) : I would like to set to uppercase all attributes that start with a given prefix (or that match a given pattern). Is it possible to do that with the BulkAttributeRenamer ? Or what would be the ''cleanest'' way to do that without using custom transformers ? (NB : I know I could achieve this with a custom transformer (for example, inspired by this question), but I would like to avoid this kind of solution as then I face the tricky issue of having attributes that need to be dynamically exposed and I would like to avoid also the complicated things with schema mapping and so on...) I would be very grateful if you could share how you would implement that 😀 Thanks in advance for any suggestion

How to dynamically append attribute value to rows when writing to database

I would like some inputs if possible. I want to write several thousand of rows to a database (each of these rows represent a pdf file). I have created an attribute called 'status' that should have the value 1 or 0 based on whether the particular row has been written into the database. This should be a precaution if FME breaks down. Then it is possible to see which rows have been written into the database and which haven't. I don't expect a complete answer at all but perhaps just some ideas on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

How to apply attribute alias to all features using the existing attribute name

Using the AttributeManager, i understand that i could create a new attribute_alias for each attribute i want to update. However, since there are hundreds of attributes and they all need to be named the same as the existing attribute name - except in TitleCase without underscores > I wonder if there is an easy way to do this?

FGDB Writer: "Unknown exception" is raised when writing Text Feature layers with Umlauts (seems like a strange bug)

I have an FME workspace in which input from an DWG file is read and exported into an FGBD file. I am using a dynamic FeatureWriter. Whenever a Text feature is written to a layer whose name contains an Umlaut (i.e. ä/Ä, ö/Ö, ü/Ü), the translation fails with the following error message:"GEODATABASE_FILE writer: An unknown exception occurred" Very strangely, layer names with Umlauts are not a problem for any other feature type, i.e. Point, Line, and Area features all can be written to corresponding layers without a problem. (As another rather confusing side note, Text features can actually be written to layers whose names contain 'ß' which from a technical/encoding point of view should cause the same problems as 'ä', 'ö', 'ü'). Here is a screenshot of my workspace:After reading the features from the DWG, I simply split them by geometry type. For the Text features, the Tester:DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_UMLAUT only lets features pass whose fme_feature_type do

Inspect Cached Feature not working

Hi,I have been using FME 2019.1 for some months now with no issues. But strangely now I can no longer view the cached features. I have 'Run' set with 'Enable Feature Caching' but when I click on the green magnifying glass and select 'Inspect Cached Features', nothing happens. There are definitely records going trough these ports... I have probably changed some setting but can't work out what it is!Thanks,

Combining the output of PATH and PDF readers

What I want: I want to read a list of pdf files and write metadata of these files to a postgresql database. The attributes I want to export are number of pages, file name, file path and file id (which I create through the UUIDGenerator). I start with a PATH reader to find all pdf files from this folder through all the subfolders. The problem is I also want to add the number of pages of each pdf file to the output table and I don't think I can find this with the PATH reader. Therefore I included a PDF reader and have found the number of pages of each pdf. Now the problem is - how do I combine the output of these two readers? I have tried to use Featurejoiner and Featuremerger but both of these requires a common attribute to join on. But I can't find a format attribute in the two readers that is unique. Is there a way to index the attribute tables of each reader? Or is there some much easier way to perform this action? I have included a screenshot of my workspace until now.
