FME Form

I use the feature reader to read data from PostGIS, I created a user parameter in feature reader to get the feature type to read. However, it did not work if I select multipule features (tables) from my postgres database. It only works when 1 feature type is selected. Is this a common issue of FME?   

II read from a FGDB do some processing then I want to write back (update) to a field in the same FGDB.  I have a FeatureHolder immediately  after reading the FGDB to force complete reading before writing.  The Where clause  make sure I only update records with matching PremiseIDs (original source data and stream data).  I only want to update one field but I don’t see how to specify that field in the FeatureWriter.  In a AttributeManager before the writer I remove all other attributes than the one I want written.  Not working. 

I have a dgn Model and it’s meshed there are some mesh elements in the model but FME is not recognizing them. AppearanceRemover is rejecting them, Geometry FIlter is returning them as null geometry. These elements are visible in microstation and looking absolutely fine. MISSING_GEOMETRY_APPEARANCE  This the rejection code from APpearnce Remover and if I skip Appearnce Remover and pass it to geometry filter it returns the featurs as Null.

Ok soooo, for the longest time I’ve been a bit annoyed at the Terminator for it’s seemingly inconsistent behaviour about when it chooses to report it’s error message in the status result of an FME Server job and when we get the generic - “An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details”.Anyway it has gotten to the point that I’d like to actually figure this out and I’ve at least found a couple of workarounds which are working for me. Looking at the solutions it is kind of obvious and I’m not sure why I didn't think of it sooner. Anyway I thought I’d share my findings - probably other know about it but I couldn’t find anything clear on the community or in the documentation.1. Use a FeautreHolder, then into the Terminator,2.  User a sampler set to sample last 1 feature and feed that into the Terminator (probably better for memory).The workarounds aren’t great because they don’t halt the translation as soon as possible - but at least the status message is there. Anyway, just wa

Hi,It's possible to use FME Desktop to obtain indices like NDVI from images without downloading them? Thank´s

Hello everyone.. i am trying to use the GIS functionality of Union 3d in the FME. can you please advise which transformer can support this , since the normal union and joins  for features and data will join data level. below is the Union 3D functionality of GIS ESRI.https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/3d-analyst/union-3d.htmthank you in advance. 

Hello guys,Has anyone ever encountered the following problem: I need to find such situations in my data. It’s not a typical gap between polygons and that is a problem for me. Let’s call it “partial gap”. Maybe someone already had similar problem and found a solution?Thanks in advance!Shapefile with this case: 

How to read Multiple AGOL Features using wildcard using one reader?

Hello there,I got 3 tables. There is one table with polygones (A) and two with lines (B and C).The lines in table B are going through my polygones. With the LineOnAreaOverlayer I cut the polyonges (A) in two. Now I need to know which part of the cuttet polyone is further away from my lines out of table C (in a max distance around the lines in C from ± 10 meters).For each cuttet polygone couple I need the furthes away one from the lines out of C.So along my C Lines are a lot of cutted polygone pairs. For each pair I need just the polygone which is further away.Any ideas?I tried the NeighborFinder alrdy, but dont geht my result. Thanks a lot!!!

I want to create a glTF/glb mesh georeferenced, these are my parameters into the writer.Even though, the .prj file has the coordinate system tipe, they don't display the model georeferenced, any suggestion? Thanks in advance

I am having a unique issue where I cannot write out the date 19700101000000 (01/01/1970) to my ‘Date’ data type fields in an Esri sde feature class. How do I fix this problem? When I want to write out 19700101000000 to one of these fields, the writer runs successfully and I get the success message but then when I read the data back into FME or I check my attribute table in ArcGIS Pro the field shows up as 18991230000000 (12/30/1899). The date is formatted correctly. I can write out other dates no problem. I can write out 19700101000001 and 19710101000000 no problem. I just can’t write out 19700101000000. I can open the attribute table in ArcGIS Pro and manually enter the date as ‘1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM’ (from the calendar/time picker) and the table will accept it. I can also use calculate field and input '1970-01-01 00:00:00' (python format) and the table will update correctly. I have tried using AttributeManager and DateTimeConverter to make sure the date is formatted correctly and the

I ran into this same error when building this dynamic workspace a year ago and writing to existing, unpopulated geodatabase (GDB) in File GDB format. The solution was to add my template File GDBs to the workspace as resources in the Schema Sources control in the FeatureWriter parameters. I have now modified the workspace to write optionally to Mobile GDB format through an additional FeatureWriter set for Mobile GDB format. I have the FeatureWriter set up identically to the File GDB version (which works fine), but I am getting that "Feature Type Definition 'ftype_name' was requested, but not defined" error. The following screenshot shows the parameter setup for the Mobile GDB FeatureWriter (FeatureWriter_8), and the Feature Information for the first feature to be written as it comes out of AttributeCreator_38. I am baffled. The Schema Sources items are correct; the fme_feature_type, fme_feature_type_name, and geodb_feature_dataset format attribute values are correct. T

Trying to extract data via a CRM API. Stuck (401 errors for authentication in the FME logs) on our internal CRM api with FME. I can query the API using a web browser after authentication. I've also tried without success to authenticate with FME's ODATA reader with a similar authentication issue.the URL example is:https://MYSITE/api/data/v8.1/TABLE?When login works in a web browser there is a redirect (an active directory account is used) i believe this is using OAuth2 authentication.Any advice or hints would be appreciated. I have reviewed other posts on this form but have not been able to find a solution. thanks for the help!

Hey,Is there is no transformer for Geocode in Transformer gallery rather than take it from hub 

I’m looking at a workflow wherein the start point is this: Underwater photo manually copied into Powerpoint Measurement grid overlaid Percentage cover of different plant species estimated by eye Results copied to ExcelI haven’t dabbled in CV at all within FME, just read this blog - and this may be jumping in the deep end - but am wondering if this scenario might be a candidate? 

Hello,  I am struggling to read a very simple table from a PDF, I just want to have something in the output. I have turn on only the "Read Tagged Tables" in the Reader's parameters, but nothing is coming out from it. The reader is not being created in my window. I have created a special table from excel in PDF to be sure that the table was fine. It looks simple in the FME presentation... https://www.safe.com/convert/geospatial-pdf/excel/ Could someone git me a hint about what am I doing wrong?  Thanks! My simple PDF with its readable table: My Reading parameters:

I need to extract TAB or Shape file from S3 and read data from it including schema.I have discovered in this articlehttps://community.safe.com/data-7/how-to-extract-the-actual-shapefile-from-featurereader-geometry-and-attributes-14548?tid=14548&fid=7that FeatureReader apparently can’t read all attributes that are in the file, until I expose them. But what is I don’t know the list of all attributes? I don’t know what exactly will be uploaded by other people to S3 bucket, I just need to read the file.  Could you help, please, to identify the correct settings of FeatureReader or another way to extract data?

Hello,I am authoring a workspace, that uploading data in PostgreSQL database.And I have difficulties to implement one function.There is a validation that checks if value is not empty or null. If object has missing unique S_ID,  it is still gets uploaded in the “Data” table. But also, I add a record in the “Errors” table, that feature has missing S_ID.When features get uploaded in the “Data” table they are automatically assigned another unique key “ID” this is just a sequential number in “Data” table.  The task for me is to add “ID” from “Data”  table when I create a record with error in “Error” table.   Because it will be the only unique attribute by which feature can be identified in case it is missing S_ID.  The difficulties for me is that I am logging errors earlier than ID attribute is assigned to the uploaded features. I thought to use VariableSetter and Variable Retriever that should help in this case. But I don't know how to extract “ID” attribute anyway. I am using FeatureWrite

I have a collection of photos and a point layer in SHP (Shapefile) format. I aim to replicate the functionality of 'Enable Attachments' from ArcGIS Pro. Specifically, I want to associate each photo with its corresponding point on the map based on matching the photo file names with a column in the point layer. Is that possible? What transformers should I use?

Am sure am missing out some step or obtain right setting. I am trying to extract points that fall inside or intersect 3D Cube .  I am also getting points as an output that are not within 3D Cube .     Please note: 3D is cube is multi-surface with different shapes and its IFC file.  I shall be highly obliged with FME Community expert to help me with their know-how and expertise to bridge that missing part / thank you for support and time.  

Hi, I am trying to use the ImportFromFME package in Revit Dynamo and need to generate an FME Connection String using the FME Connection String Generator Utility, but I can’t find the FMEPCConfg.exe in my installation folder. Is it saved somwhere else or do I need another FME program like FME Server to use it? I have FME Form 2023.2 installed.The executable is supposed to be in this area, but it’s not there. 

This seems like it should be really easy to do but I’m spinning my wheels. I have a dataset of points, each with an attribute of Contract Number. I have a set of polygons also with Contract Number attributes. I need to determine if the point falls within a polygon AND the point contract number matches the polygon contract number that it falls within. What’s the best way to achieve this?
