Name File automatic

Hello FME Community,In order to retrieve the list of fields from Shapefiles, I am currently using the following workflow: SchemaScanner => ListExploder => AttributeManager(Name).csv.My objective is to perform this process on a set of Shapefiles contained in a folder and output the CSV files into another folder while keeping their original filenames.However, I encountered some issues with this setup:Filename Issues: I am having trouble preserving the original filename for each output CSV file. The current workflow doesn't seem to carry over the original Shapefile name correctly. AttributeManager: I'm using AttributeManager to manage field names, but I'm unsure if I'm configuring it correctly for this task. It doesn't seem to handle the filename dynamically.Do you have any suggestions or solutions to address these issues?

Interpolating lines at distinct vertices selected by a second point dataset

Hello,my challenge may have already been solved, or it may be difficult for me. Maybe I'm just missing something:i have a line dataset and a point dataset. the points are measurement points of the lines. in our convention, a line has 2 measurement points, an arc has three measurement points and splines have at least 4. there is no attributive connection between the two datasets. the measurement points are identical to the corresponding veritces of the lines 3D.the line represents the upper edge of the sidewalk and i derive the lower edge of the sidewalk (street level) from a point cloud. due to the point cloud, the lines jump at the vertices in height along the line. i want to interpolate the line and have so far fed the 3D interpolator with the start and end point of the line and let it interpolate the line. so far so good.but now i want the lines to be interpolated not only at the start and end points, but always exactly at the vertices at which a measuring point from the point data

All attempts to create a web service authentication fail on redirect

I have followed the documentation on setting a custom OAuth2.0 web service connection and all steps work within the Test… flow until it comes to redirecting to https://localhost . Is FME listening to a specific port on the localhost or should it be registering itself as a temporary server? This is the returned screen.Following the same flow within a external browser window also ends up here but the returned access_code is present in the URL.How is this being retrieved by FME - I’m kinda stuck here.

How to print a raster view of a dwg surface isometrically as a png

Can you provide guidance on how to convert a DWG file to a PNG image and then embed that PNG into an HTML PDF using FME? Specifically, I'm interested in preserving the visual elements like colors, hatch styles, and line widths from the original DWG file.Here are my transformers.Thank you.

Updating a Feature Service through ArcGIS Portal - Using Dynamic Schema

I am trying to see if I can update a feature layer in our ESRI Portal from a FGDB. We know we can insert, update, and delete features and have success on those fronts. However, we will like to also have dynamic schema available as we may change the data in our FGDB by removing/adding fields. I have tried several times to get a dynamic writer working to account for a schema change but without luck. I have tried to delete data in the feature layer to then insert but that had errors. Does anyone have advice or has done this? The FGDB is a testing stage as eventually we would want to update directly from SDE.

GeometryExtractor does not keep polygons orientation in geoJSON

Hey I think I found a bug in the GeometryExtractor, where the geoJSON writer and the GeometryExtractor that writes geoJSON geometry to an attribute lead to different results. I have a sample workbench where I buffer a point, the GeometryExtractor writes the coordinate following the wrong orientation (clockwise vertex order) but the geoJSON writer generates the correct geoJSON (counter-clockwise vertex order).is there any way to fix it? I need to write the geoJSON geometry string into an attribute. Thank you,Andrea

How to create geometry based on an attribute

Hi, I do some requests over an api to get some features.As result I have some attributes for each feature. One of them is containing the coordinates (lat,lon)Something like this:52.2413243,10.5215958,52.2411936,10.5215612,52.2410751,10.5215738,52.2409598,10.5215146...Is there a simple way to use the geometry attribute with structure lat,lon,lat,lon… and convert these values to vertices? I assume I have to use vertexcreator? But I do not want to define all nodes separate. Does someone know a smart way to do this in fme ? Thanks in advance

Just sharing - parallel lmits fmeworker (FME Form)

So I have a big job to process and I’m trying to work out some theoretical numbers for the client (a rough estimate on the processing time range depending on various factors). I want to leverage the fmeworker limit of 16 parallel threads (I’m assuming a machine with essentially unlimited resources) because the fme.exe limit is 8.I have a batch job of many tiles with many rasters and features which all need to be processed at once. The easy thing to do is to just throw it to the workspace runner but the license only gives me 7-8 parallel threads (which is probably more than enough to be fair, most likely CPU will not be the bottle neck).Anyways for fun I did a test to see what the limit was on the number of parallel groups to send through a custom transformer when parallel processing was on. I pretty quickly got the following error: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsf_6 (TransformFact): Transformer 'ThreadLimitTester': Unable to create worker; try reducing the pa

Export LandXML without creating parcels?

Hello, I’m using the LandXML writer to export a surface. However, FME creates two Parcels, in addition to the surface (that i created based on a point cloud). These Parcels cause problems when trying to import the surface into some software. Civil 3D works fine, since it support Parcels, but for other software it does not work. Is there a way to NOT create parcels when exporting the LandXML?

FME Server REST API : get automation tasks/items

SharepointOnlineConnector and web connection woes

Hi all.I’ve tried to setup a connection to a list of files on a (customer) Sharepoint service without much success.I’ve read multiple other questions about it here, and some provided useful help (prompt=login), but most does not address my issues.The customer has created the site, and provided me with tenant and client IDs, and client secret. And he has created an “app” with an approval of my client (FME Form).First I tried to create a web service, but never got the “Test...” to work. First it erred insisting on getting an approval, but “prompt=login” solved that, but not it errs with a “refresh token” error.The same happens when I try to create a new web connection using the web service in a SharepointOnlineConnector.I then saw that there was an alternative use, using FeatureReader with “Microsoft Sharepoint List”, and here I was able to create a web connection using the previous web service unaltered. Sofar it can only access root douments, but the connection works, it seems.But now
