FME Form

We have a series of databases (postgis) that get _year_month added to their endings so that we can see which one is the newest. The rest of the name, schema etc is the same.It would be convenient to have our workspaces automatically look for the most recent database.So if there exists: supercooldatabase_21_09, supercooldatabase_23_07 and supercooldatabase_24_03 on the server I would like to have FME check all supercooldatabase’s and select the one with the higest number, aka _24_03. This attribute would then be passed on to guide FeatureReaders correctly.Would it possible to do this within FME?

Hi, I am using a sql executor reading dynamically some data from our db. I am using following query: select * from t_@Value(F_CLASS_NAME) where fid=@Value(FID). How can I expose the attributes of each query ? I can not use the attribute exposer of the sql executor as the attributes name and number change depending on the table name. I tried a few things but nothing has worked so far. I am reading about 10-40 tables so I want to avoid to manually type in all diff attribute names.

I'm converting an obj file to local coordinates, glb.Running one obj file in FME will take you to the desired local coordinates.But when I run thousands of obj files in FME, they don't move to local coordinates (0,0,0).I want to move thousands of obj files all to (0,0,0) at once.For reference, I activated move to local coordinate.

Hi, When I try to overwrite a layer in AGOL using the AGOL Feature Service Writer it creates a duplicate feature layer, with a different feature ID. I need to overwrite as there is a schema change in the data and i’m trying to avoid creating a new feature layer as we’ll have to re-configure the downstream map services.I ran the same workbench on a different environment and it had no issues overwriting the layer I was pointing at. Any ideas on how to get this to overwrite?I’ve attached a screenshot of the settings I'm using 

I want to give file path to load multiple CSV file to SQL server, How to give file path to reader to select multiple CSV file?  

​Hello guys, Damjan here,i have problems with my FME process so i need your help.  Task:I have 1 dwg file with 6 polylines (3 pairs), each pair must go to PROCES (process makes a polyline between 1 pair, that's fine all works), then process must save this polyline in dwg and go to start for next pair.Shema: FME:DWG GRT: Each polyline has an attribute id which represent pairs (for example: 2 polylines (grt_dt & grt_lt) have the same id which means they are 1 pair), the second attribute is Description (DET_OPIS): grt_dt = right polyline, grt_lt = left polyline.  I add Cr

Hello,I need to write the xlink:type in an AIXM5 file (see below)  But when I look at the User Attributes of the feature type AirspaceTimeSlice (AIXM5 writer), I can only see 3 parameters of the xlink which can be set: href, role and title.  Anybody knows how to write the xlink:type with the AIXM5 writer ?ThanksAndré

Hi All,I need to concatenate the two values of the same cell into just one line. I’ve been (partially) able to do it by using a StringReplacer but some of the cells show an space which make the StringReplacer not working, see below an example:There’s an space between line 2 and Siding, how can I make the final result ‘CE Siding’ ?  

Hello enthusiasts, I am trying to migrate a bulk data (assume 2Million records) to an oracle table due to size  planning to split and sent them by batches. In this situation I have a certain doubts which are below, if a data already migrated to the oracle table, but next batch also have that record means oracle will through the “unique id constraint” error. how can I skip that record and move next one? Due to size of the data, i am splitting them into different batches and try to run parallel. FYI: I am migrating data into one same oracle table using oracle writer. can i run multiple workbenches (like insert1.fmw and insert2.fmw) parallelly and is it works fine or will be chances to loss data in this scenario ?WRITER using: oracle spatial object expecting your thoughts and suggestions.Thanks in advance !

I want to compare different methods of generating TIN-models. To assess the quality of each model, I want to calculate the vertical distance between each point in the input point cloud and the generated TIN in order to later calculate for example the RMSE. Any tips on an approach?

I am using FTPCaller. If I add the Emailer to the rejected port will it send me an email if the output gets kicked to the rejected port? I would have the Emailer already configured to send me an email. I want to double check with the Community since my workbench will stop running if the FTPCaller output is rejected. Here is a screenshot of a mock up workspace (note I have not set up the transformer parameters yet hence you see the red gear icons.) Not shown below, I know it will send me an email if the FTPCaller output is sent to Output.  

I want to write lines into an existing PostGIS table, which has default values for most of the columns. With FME PostGIS Writer, when executing the process, I have errors returning (in french):Bulk copy failed on table 'XXX' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'ERREUR:  une valeur NULL viole la contrainte NOT NULL de la colonne « YYY» dans la relation « XXX » I would like to use the Postgres default values for these NOT NULL columns, but I cannot find the way to do it.I use FME Form 2023.2

I'm trying to read a (big?) ecw file (EPSG 28992, 173 Mb) using FME 2020.1.0.1.This is very slow (> 10 minutes), QGIS displays the same file in a matter of seconds. I'm wondering if I'm missing some reader parameters that might speed up the process. I do need best resolution though...

Hi FME community,I’ve been tasked with trying to get the metadata we hold (in a SQL server database) into an INSPIRE-compliant format.I was hoping that we could use the metadata we currently hold (Title, Abstract, Temporal Extents etc) and run it through an INSPIRE XSD template. However, it’s pretty overwhelming when I look at the XSD templates (which I got from here - application-schemas/schemas at main · INSPIRE-MIF/application-schemas · GitHub) as there are so many nested parts (see screenshot). Is there a relatively straightforward method I could use for each topic of data (be they addresses, parcels of land etc - which have their own topic under the INSPIRE framew

Dear all, I’m fairly new to FME but currently I’m quite impressed by the software :). My question is rather simple: is there an equivalent in FME of the Tabulate Areas function of ArcGIS Pro: Tabulate Area (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | DocumentationI have two datasets:The cadastral parcels of Wallonia in polygon format ; A land cover classification (TIFF raster) with 20+ classes.I would like to calculate for each polygonal entity the proportion of land cover classes.The result should look like this:ID | LC1 | LC2 | LC3 | … | LC201 | 10% | 0 | 0 |25 | … | 02 | …3 | … Many thanks in advance for your feedback :)

When I simply add the PDF reader and convert to the TIFF writer, alle Images are exported separately into rows, meaning that for each individual PDF-File I get 100+ TIFFs. How can convert PDF to TIFF without this happening?

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.

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 :

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… 😉
