FME Form

Hello,I have two questions about the HorizontalAngleCalculator transformer. 1) I simply need the AutoCAD Angle property of a line as shown below. Is HorizontalAngleCalculator the best transformer to use?  Or, better yet...is there a way to expose this property in the reader?2)  The install message for the HorizontalAngleCalculator says it’s not not created by Safe Software, but rather by “safe-lab” implying Safe Software Lab which is kind of confusing. Can someone clarify what this means and whether the transformer is trust worthy?Thank you,Tyler

Hello,I am trying to create a workflow in order to transform a dwg to a cityGML file and later to import it into a 3D citygml database.I have tried to find an example online doing something similar but I had no luck.I wanted to ask if something like this is possible with FME and if there is an available example to get a first impression of how to implement it.

Hi.I have a file of text strings that have multiple ‘parts’ that I have split into a _list. Example text string... LOT 9 DP 19723 LOT 12 DP 384274 LOT 8 DP 30287 LOT 9 DP 2402 PT RS 17343 17491 BLK VII X XI TENGAWAI SD-TIMBER NOT ASSESSEDUsing string searcher, I have formed a list of the formatted string to push into the list using regex: (LOT \d+ DP \d+){1,}The result is a list containing the:appellation:LOT 9 DP 19723 LOT 12 DP 384274 LOT 8 DP 30287 LOT 9 DP 2402 PT RS 17343 17491 BLK VII X XI TENGAWAI SD-TIMBER NOT ASSESSED matches: LOT 9 DP 19723  LOT 12 DP 384274  LOT 8 DP 30287  LOT 9 DP 2402  What I want to be able to do is remove the matched part from appellation on the way through leaving me with both the matches as individual features, and a subset of appellation with the matches removed. The resultan

I have an FME workspace that sends me an email during certain error conditions. This works great on my remote laptop, but fails on my onsite desktop machine. The FME workspace needs to be run nightly on my desktop machine. This means that I won’t get the email (and won’t be notified of the error conditions). On my desktop machine, I get this error message: ERROR_DURING_PROCESSING<class 'requests.exceptions.SSLError'>: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='graph.microsoft.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1.0/me/sendMail (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1000)'))) The only difference I can think of is that my laptop use a VPN connection and my desktop machine is on the company network. I contacted someone in our IT department and they want to know the name of the certificate which I don’t know.Does anyone have ideas on how to r

Hi Community,I have a workspace with some python in to create a container within a blob storage account (something the blob storage connector was not able to do). The problem i’m having is that as soon as i use the blob storage connector in my workspace the package is installed in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME. This then seems to force FME to use this directory in my python caller. The problem is i’m using newer python packages where BlockBlobService no longer exists and is replaced by BlobServiceClient so they stop working despite being installed as per the instructions for installing python libraries. Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Hi,I am trying to use the RasterObjectDetector for an object detection task using FME Form 2024, but translation fails and I get following error messages:-Library 'C:\Program Files\FME\plugins/opencv/rasterobjectdetectfactory.dll' was found but could not be loaded. Ensure that all the dependent modules exist for this library.-Could not load module 'C:\Program Files\FME\plugins/opencv/rasterobjectdetectfactory.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found'-Module 'opencv/rasterobjectdetectfactory' is unavailable for use with this FME editionI downloaded OpenCV 3.4.9 and added the installation location to the system path, as specified in the documentation of the transformer, but it is still not working. Does anyone know how to solve this?Thanks!

I'm using the ESRIReprojector transformer. When converting between NAD83 and NAD27, I get one option for Geographic Transformer. In ArcGIS, I get several options for Geographic Transformer. Is there any way to get the same multiple options in FME without recreating them? Thanks.

Hi I have a very simple question but it seems i can’t do it . I just want to make a point from an excel list with x y coordinates, but not by writing it to a writer because I have to do a lot of other operations with it. I have already tried different things, I first used a coordinateSystemSetter and then a vertexCreator. But during further edits I always get rejected and my model crashes. It can't be that difficult :-)

WFS 2.0 services are available on the Geoportal Baden-Württemberg. It is not possible for me to view/download the contents of the objects (BP_Plan) with the WFS Reader using FME 2023.Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?Example:https://geodienste.komm.one/ows/services/org.165.d5516855-2ef7-4512-92f7-68d208f6f722_wfs/org.165.15f5882e-891a-4ce4-b2fc-000a45978e11?SERVICE=WFS&Request=GetCapabilities

In my workbench I download ffs file from azure storage and assign the path in attribute _download_path then try to read the file from the same path using FFS reader but it’s not recognizing the path and in the error even showing wrong name like it’s replacing some characters like it’s considering the wrod gelöst as gelo?st. This word is in my filename.

Hi all, I am trying to convert a AGS File to a standard format to view such as Excel or Shape. I seen something like this online using leapfrog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtyrYsx9teE but struggling to find a simple solution in doing this with FME. Any useful tips would be great.

Hi there,I am fairly new to FME. I have around 6000 dwg. files regarding the same industrial drawings and the data is roughly found in the same place in each file. I would like to know how i can extract the attributes that i need out of these files.I have started using a wildcard function to read multiple files. I know this question is fairly vague, still I was wondering if anyone has the time to help me with this, or knows any recomendations for explanation (youtube or similair examples/workspaces) Like I said, FME is still pretty new to me so any advice would help. Thank you

I am making a call to an API and getting a JSON in return. With the JSONFragmenter and it's flattening options, I can expose most of the attributes in the JSON into FME attributes, but I am getting stuck on a particular structure. Sometimes there's a little table within a single attribute in the JSON like so: "related_objects": [                    {                        "relation_name": "verbinding",                        "relation_id": 1,                        "objects": [                            "randomid1",                            "randomid2",                            "randomid3"                        ]                    }                ] This indicates objects that are related in a particular way to the object in my query. I would like to generate a list of all of the related objects (randomid1, randomid2 etc.). I want to use that  list in my FME flow. The number of related ob

Hi All,I have created a workflow that reads a few large GIS datasets in vector format across different areas. To avoid reading all the records in the dataset and reduce time I have used the FeatureReader transformer which is connected to the layers and an Area of Interest. The Spatial Filter option is ‘turned on’ as Boundary Boxes OGC-Intersect to read only those records within the Area of Interest. The problem is still takes ages to read,I have got a few FeatureReaders within the workflow and I was thinking to use only one FeatureReader (as all the data comes form the same GDB) to improve the performance, Any ideas to improve the performance of the workflow?

I have a SQLExecutor that inserts data child records for contract IDs. It does fine if it’s a one-to-one but if it’s one contract ID with many children, it only inserts one. Nowhere in my workbench does it group by the contract ID though. If there are 2 contracts and each has 2 children, there are 4 individual rows of data to insert. I managed to resolve the issue by adding a select statement after the insert to produce a result. I don’t understand why it’s behaving this way though. Note that I’m using a SQL Executor instead of a writer because of the need to set the audit user for each insert. Below is the sql statement I’m using. Why does the select statement at the end make it work?  FME_SQL_DELIMITER |EXEC sp_set_session_context 'AuditUser', 'SNOW Sync' |INSERT INTO CONTRACT_ASSOCIATE (CONTRACT_ASSOCIATE_ID, BA_ID, CONTRACT_ID, CONTRACT_

How to calculate the IRI between two points in FME if we know the distance and the slope?Thank you.

After upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3 i get the above error when writing to an Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb). Does anyone know what the reason could be? I've also upgraded to FME 2022.2. Thanks in advance! 

In FME 2018, I want to use a custom python interpreter, and a specific python virtual environment (conda environments).How can I do this?

Hi!  I am trying to convert an excel spread sheet (no spatial data involved, just plain data) into a pdf file with pagination based on a field in the spread sheet. Can somebody help me through the steps of this conversion? I have seen posts about using table adder, text adder, pdf styler, pdf page formatter etc. but I am trying to understand the high-level steps to start developing this process.I was hoping SAFE would have some webinar or tutorial on simple excel to pdf conversion, all I can find is extracting data from pdf and converting to excel.Any help is much appreciated.Thank you,LSugumar.

Hi,if a similar issue has already appeared on the forum, please redirect me.I'm trying to generate an automatic report in HtmlReportGenerator. I mainly use CustomHTML to prepare the exact shape of the data table. When I manually create a table and fill it with values from the flow, I have no values in output (the table displays empty records). What am I doing wrong?for example:     <tr>         <td>1</td>         <td><a href="https://geoportal.gov.pl">INDICATIVE LRT/BRT VARIANTS (SR CPK, SFP MODEL)</td>         <td>DATE</td>         <td>@Value(INDICATIVE_VARIANTS)</td>         <td>@Value(INDICATIVE_VARIANTS2)</td>         <td>NON</td>     </tr>

Hey,  I have FME Server running great, my workbenches are running fine on schedules etc.  I have several that are 'job submitters', and I am now trying to use the mobile app to trigger them manually, each time I connect to my server, navigate to my Repository and open the workbench, I click "Run Workspace" and I am immediately thrown an error: Failed to submit job. Error: 404 I am not finding any help articles etc, has anyone seen this issue before?

Hi, I have one Form workspace that writes to a hosted feature service on AGOL fine. It is set at insert and Truncate. It writes a little more than 9,000 features and I run it every week without issue. However, I now have a different hosted feature service on AGOL that has +23,000 features. When I try the same process to update it, it drops all the data and only ends up writing out 15,000 records at most. The number of records diffs as well. I have tried adjusting the timeout and features per request, but have not been successful in achieving the full write out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Hi, I'm looking for a list of special characters used in a text editor. Is there a description of their function? Are there any others available that are not listed in the window? For example, I use the MSWordStyler transformerThanksFilip

Hi, With FME I want to read a sde geodatabase. (feature class). For this I use the reader: “Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE geodb)”. Until recently this worked. With ArcGis Pro an Attribute rule has been created for 1 field and since then the reader no longer works if the workspace is on FME server. If the workspace is run in FME desktop (not FME server) the reader will still work properly. The message I get when the workspace is running on FME server is: An error occurred while attempting to open the table, feature class or relationship class 'My_TABLE'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147211773'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The item does not have a definition.}  What could be the cause of this. FME server and FME Desktop are the same version. Greatings, Hans
