Hello, I am new to handling JSON but am really struggling to understand it.  I have formatted json stored in a csv as an attribute.  I cannot seem to flatten or fragment it.  Latest attempt was to write to a json then read in and fragment.  The workspace screenshot attached ran successfully but hasn’t exposed the strings I have requested.

Hello, I am trying to update the date field records of a feature class using arcpy update cursor, but I am getting the following error (text in bold), please let me know If I am missing anything :   Field Name : e_result_datetimeField Values : 20230803081554 Field datatype : Date Also, want to mention that I am able to update the string, double data type fields using updatecursor in FME with no issues - it’s only with date data type I am facing the problem. Python Exception <RuntimeError>: The value type is incompatible with the field type.

Hi ,Is there any way to use an ifc file containing ifc objects, extract a specific object , then put it in precise locations in another ifc file that I am creating in the workflow?for exemple if I am interested in using this ifcDoor object that is inside a file1.ifc file : and the positions where i want to put this ifcDoor are where the 2d doors (the red lines) of my input file are located (my input is a dwg file containg 2D doors):All I can do now is just extrude those 2d doors , add ifc attributes to them , and them write them to ifcDoor writer .  but they don't even look like doors :i want the doors to look like the ones in my file1.ifc file (their color , geometry , texture )I'm searching for a way to do it , but I am afraid that it is impossible .

Hi AllI am trying to set up a workspace to react when a change is made to an ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase table but cant figure out how to watch for changes on the table.I could set up a scheduled task to read all of the data and then a change detector to update a further table but that doesn't seem a wise use of resources, particular if there are no changes.SO any ideas how to watch this database table for changes efficiently??Regards   

I am getting features in through a WFS and pump the resulting XML structures through an XMLFlattener.The Elements to Match are ‘grouped’ by an attribute value and thereby dynamic.What I cannot make dynamic are the Attributes to Expose. I can either write them myself, or import them, but how can I get e.g. a list to work there, or the value of an attribute?Best thing would be the option of a conditional value… 😉

Hi how can create a perpendicular line that connect point to line, I mean I need to connect red points to blue line with a perpendicluar line  thxFrancesco  

I need to upload new csv file each day with there is date on file each day

xcopy "$(TEMP_FOLDER)\$(FME_JOB_ID)\Temp"  "$(TEMP_FOLDER)\$(FME_JOB_ID)\Results" /I /E /Y /TFrom the command line I use xcopy /I /E /Y /T and if the directory does not exist it creates it but within a SystemCaller it does not work and does not give an error message.I need Help 

Is there a way to check if a directory exists?I create a directory B using the mkdir command within one SystemCaller and in another SystemCaller it copies file from directory A to B and it works.But the process must copy copy new files that are created in directory A and the mkdir gives an error because the directory already exists.

Since eternity and up to FME 2022 we placed our DLLs for self implemented transformers in FME_HOME directory.In FME 2024 it seems they need to be placed in FME_HOME\plugins directory ?!Since when is this requirement in effect ?Is there a way to influence where transformer DLLs are searched by FME ?

Some users in my organisation are getting the below error when using  using fme-form-2023.2.1-b23774-win-x64. They have already looked at editing the path in environment variables and that didn't work.

Hello, I have a problem with INSPIRE validator. I created a ETL schema in my FME Desktop environment according to INSPIRE theme of Protected Sites. So I've done it by applying all the technical guides from INSPIRE, and solved all my previous validation errors except this one: The dataset has 1 file(s) with errors for this assertion.XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': The file has 1 schema validation error(s).XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': 1:729: cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'gml:FeatureCollection'.When I use the Hale studio for transformation and get my GML, validation process goes smoothly, but with FME I have a problem. During my analysis I saw that in Hale Studio GML I have a longer <gml: FeatureCollection > tag in the xxsi:schemaLocation part. Here is the Hale xsi: schemaLocation: xsi:schemaLocation="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0 https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0/Prot

Hi,I have a shapefile with lines, some of which show the degree of curvature...I would like to delete some lines based on the angle of curvature.How can I do that?  

I’m using FME Workbench 2023.1.  I have an excel file with a Payment Type attribute field.  There are 4 types:Cash Check Credit Card Money OrderNot all payment types will be present in the excel file each time this is run, but I need it to still have an output for that payment type.  I’m fairly new to FME and used an Attribute Filter transformer to filter for each Payment Type, but when there are no rows in my excel file with a particular Payment Type, I will not get any kind of output. See below image for example of one of the areas in my script where I use this filter.  I think I need to create a domain of values for the the Payment Type field, before this is run and maybe get a count?  In the end what I need is if there are no payments of that type in the Payment Type field, then when I sum the payment amounts for each Payment Type, that particular Payment Type would need to be given an output sum of, 0.  If you look in my below image, the only Payment Type that has an output is Cre

Hello FME community, I have a workspace which I always run with quick translator. Since my user parameters are never going to be changed, is there a way that I can simply double-click on this file and it runs with quick translator without the need to click OK or press Enter to confirm the user parameters? 

Hi,I have data from the WFS address, for parcels of land. I need to perform an additional check in which it will be checked if some of parcels are not duplicated. That is, I need to detect if there are two polygons, one on top of the other, in my layer in WFS in one place. Please give me some suggestions.

I have two Excel Files. You can see from the screenshot, in the Visual Preview, I need to compare 95137 and 95138 in a Tester. Before I can do this, I need to “move” 95137 to row 1 (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below) and have only one row in the table not two, what is the best way to make this happen?   

Hiich would like to write an gml Class "ExistingLandUseGrid" Object from the INSPIRE Specs http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/gelu/4.0Wenn adding a INSPIRE GML writer by pointing to the cooresponding GriddedExistingLandUse.xsd, the writer does not offer a featuretype "ExistingLandUseGrid" which is what i would expect. The only featuretype in the GML writer is "SpatialDataSet".Are there any options for the writer to enable writing a featuretype "ExistingLandUseGrid"? Or an example of a working script? RegardsPeter

Hi there.I am needing to pull data directly from a SQL Server Analysis Services data cube. Can FME connect to the cube?   

I am using Oracle DB. My sql commands are update commands. I believe it is directly sending to the oracle to execute rather than regular transformer which execute in batches. Please clarify. 

Hello!Here is my problem:I have a SDE db (let’s call it T1) with field “date_change” (type: date). I also have a table (let’s call it T2) that has a filed “sync_date” (type: date).I am trying to make a query where I select all features from T1 where “date_change” is equal or greater than T2 “sync_date”. I am using a FeatureReader and trying to apply it on the where clause. However, my query keeps coming blank. I think the syntax is wrong (WHERE clause: “date_change” >= “sync_date”). Anyone has any suggestions?Thank you in advance!

I’m on 2022.2 and using a StatisticsCalculator with a Group By (based on the name of a CSV) to get statistics (min, max, mean) on a handful of attributes.  It works great for all but 1 attribute (Specific_Gravity) and I can’t figure out why.  The attribute type (64 bit real) is the same between Specific_Gravity and Temperature_F so I’m not sure why one works and the other doesn’t.  The kicker is that I can get Mean values for Specific_Gravity but not Min or Max.Do I have the transformer configured incorrectly, is it a data type issue, or something else??Screenshot of transformer with results: 

I’m running a FME script that reads feature classes from a GDB, performs a handful of transformations followed by one inspector, then writes to a new GDB.  After running the entire workspace, it says the translation was successful.  But that message is followed by: Failed to initialize the reader in the temporary rendering process.  I’m still new to FME, so I don’t understand this error, or what needs to be fixed.  Can anyone provide any insight on this, or how I can troubleshoot this further?   FYI I’m using FME 2023.1.1.1  

Hello, I have just updated FME: 2022 -> 2023 (2023.0.2 (20230727 - Build 23338 - WIN64). Checking that this upgrade doesn't cause errors when running several important processes, I see this warning message in the log of one of them: POSTGRES Writer: Renamed user attribute 'attribute{0}.fme_data_type' to 'attribute{0}_fme_data_type' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and casePOSTGRES Writer: Renamed user attribute 'attribute{0}.name' to 'attribute{0}_name' based on format constraints for invalid characters, length, and case This message was absent with the previous version. The transformer concerned is a FeatureWriter whose parameters are shown below. It has two upstream branches: one for table schemas, the other for features. Adding all these entries to the log file slows down processing considerably and, when many features are processed, the file can even saturate the disk (up to 40GB!). I've temporarily deactivated t
