FME Form

I have a "Directory and File Pathnames" reader that gives me a list of text files in a Windows folder. I want to pass those folder and filenames to a FeatureReader transformer and be able to read the text lines from them as output for further processing, but I can't seem to get anything out of the FeatureReader other than the results of the Directory and File Pathnames that go into it. How do I get the contents of the text files out?

Hi,I am facing an issue where wall was not rendered properly by the FME inspector as it has direction issue. I tried "SurfaceNormalExtractor" but I didn't get any information out of the transformer. Please find the screenshot. Could you please help me in this regard. Same issue was posted 6 years back https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hfTrSAI/citygml-generation Wall not render properly in FME inspector   

I am utilizing the EsriReprojector and am getting limited results for datum transformation options from GCS_WGS_1984 to EPSG:6574. Is there a certain setting that needs to be applied to gain the other transformation options?

Is it possible to write into 'autocad_layer_desc'? A key piece of info/metadata that seems to be unavailable on DWG writers.

When setting the connections to Azure Database in FME Desktop, it does not have an option to use Active Directory Integrated authentication. It has only Windows and SQL Server Authentication. Is there possible to connect Azure Database by using Active Directory Integrate? Any help is very much appreciated.

The documentation for autocad_dimension features says that you can use an attribute "autocad_text_rotation" to rotate the text of a dimension.See autocad_dimensionHowever, I haven't succeeded in rotating the dimension text yet.I use "autocad_dimension_type" = autocad_aligned Any ideas?  

Hi, I'm trying to write an XLS file based on a template (according to this help), with complete rewriting of the data (Overwrite Existing File = Yes) and I can't find a way to keep the order of the columns according to the template in the output XLS and not in the order in which FME processes the attributes. For example, I would like that if I invert 2 columns in the template, it also inverts it in the output xls, without setting this with an attribute manager. Did I miss a parameter in the xls output that would allow this or is there another method.Thanks a lot in advance for your answers and best regards. Antonin

We have a client that has a unique need and I'm wondering if it's even possible in FME. There goal is to have a csv or table that contains a dataset name, itemID, and layerID. They also have a GDB file containing the datasets. The would like to have a function to cycle through their csv table, and overwrite an individual layer in an AGOL hosted feature class. The caveat is this hosted feature class may contain many layers and as far as I know you can't update just one layer. We have been racking our brain and FME seems like it may be our last hope. Here's the short version of the workflowRead update table -> Read GDB -> Update Hosted Feature Service Layer Any advice would be appreciated,Chad

G'day, My workspace generates several rows of data, then goes through a statistics calculator so I can count the total rows of data. This total row is calculated so that I can email the user a summary of what has been done during the run process. What I am finding is that I am unable to use this fmt_acc.total_count figure unless I connect the Summary output through to the HTMLReportGenerator. When I connect this to the generator it ends up creating an additional row in my report with all NULL values, which is not ideal, so I disconnected it. I then use an emailer to send a copy of this HTMLReport, and in my email subject I would like to say "XX Number of Features Found, full list attached", where XX is the fmt_acc.total_count.  Unless I connect this summary, the emailer has no acce

Hi all, I have building footprints, DEM and DOM data, I have finished 3D modelling for DEM with overlaying DOM, and 3D buildings, while the bottom part of some buildings, especially those located along the foot of the mountains, are under the terrain. I have tried many ways like 3Dforce with values minZ, or chopper buildings to points and acquire the points cooridinate Z value, and also clamp function, while all failed. Anyone can help? thanks a lot.

I have an FME workflow that extracts planning overlays against the cadastre/properties. Some properties could have 5 or more planning overlays. I am currently using AreaOnAreaOverlay transformer and then a ListExploder to get all planning overlays against each property, otherwise not all overlays appear for some reason. ListExploder seems to show all overlays against each property but it duplicates certain overlays. It doesn't matter which transformer I use to remove the duplicates, the result still has duplicates. Also, when joining the result to the rest of my workflow I have a feeling it chews up too much memory due to the listexploder as I get a non-descript translation error, which online forums suggest it is due to memory usage. What's the best way to show all distinct overlays without duplicates?

I want to convert a ESRI Multipatch Feature class to IFC and wonder what the best practice is to write the feature into IFC writer. I am using FME Form 2023. Appreciate your help! Thanks

Hi, I'm prepared my fme as the picture attach. I use the transformer Offsetter to change the Z value. My sequence of the Z value is 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 etc. Can i know how to define Z offset based on requirement that I have been mention.

I am reading a large xml dataset - about 80GB .gz file - and send each feature in a PythonCaller that simply dispatch the content in different .gz files according to the feature type (since multi-writer will keep all the content in memory/temporary files). Seems to work since I can see the size of the different files increasing.  however, Since it is being running for 8 days now (yes, 8 days), I wonder if I could eventually improve the speed of the workbench - parallel reading, processing, ... whatever could help!  Daniel

Hi all, I have a dataset that contains a _dirpath attribute that I would like to use as the Destination Fanout Directory. My workflow injests CSVs from multiple different folders, and I would like to output the Writer data to the same folder that the data originally came from. Does anyone know if that is possible? I can't seem to set an attribute as an input for the Destination Fanout Directory. Any suggestions?

Bonjour j'ai un "nuage de points" et je cherche a les trier par distance :le resultat attendu est le suivant:le point 2 est proche du point 1, le point 5 est proche du point 2, le point 3 est proche du point 5 etc...j'utilise un neighborfinder en candidates only mais le probleme est que dans ce cas j'ai comme resultatle point 2 est proche du point 1et le point 1 est proche du 2et je ne les trie pas  il faudrait que lorsque le point 1 est traité il "disparaisse" je ne suis pas sur d’être très clairmerci a la communauté de votre aide   

To previously set up our license server we followed the majority of info in this link:https://community.safe.com/s/article/create-fme-license-server The documentation show that the redhat-lsb-core package is required for the license server. The problem is the new Linux 2023 is based on Fedora and CentOS, whereas the previous Linux 2 box was based off the REHL 7, so it's now unavailable. Curious what others who may be required to upgrade their machines to Linux 2023 may have done or are planning on doing?

Hi, We recently upgraded from FME Server to FME flow and I've noticed that a few workbenches that contain only one python caller and a creator, are taking up to 10 times longer. Both environments hosting Flow and FME Server are identical in specs. Here are the workspace statistics from each environment FME Server:Average Elapsed: 12 minutes 44 secondsAverage % CPU: 96%Average CPU time: 12minutes 20 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 256mb FME flow statistics:Average Elapsed: 53 minutes 42 secondsAverage % CPU: 19.4Average CPU time: 10 minutes 42 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 264mb Does FME flow utilize CPU differently when using python, or is there some setting I can change in the form workbench? I can see from the logs that simple arcpy commands are taking 10x longer and the CPU is being under utilized in FME flow. I've looked into the transformer

i have two geodatabases. geodatabase 1 containing all lookup tables. One lookup table is source_table in which there is a column named "source_table_name" is added. Based on the values in "source_table_name " I want to select the feature class from geodatabase 2. I am getting output but its routing through generic port of the FeatureReader so no schema is being added. Can anyone help me solve this issue.

I'm new, so any help is appreciated. I have a SQL table that has lat/longs.  Want to copy table into SQL Server SDE feature dataset with geom column.  Tried the feature writer, but don't see where I can select the feature dataset.

I have a lookup table in which some feature class name is mentioned. I have to select in the feature reader only those features from geodatabase which in there in the lookup table. How to do that. One more problem here all my feature classes is in the feature dataset in input geodatabase. In output I want this outside feature dataset

Hi! I have a gml file that i have downloaded from the statistical bureau of sweden. This is the data source: https://share.scb.se/OV0105/Xml/PD/pd_befolkningsfordelning_totalbefolkning_nt.xml It is in GML format and the data is structured in 10km squares. However, I can't seem to be able to convert it to any other format. The geometry im getting is just a bounding box for the entire dataset, not the specific 10km squares. I have found very limited resources to help with this problem online. The final destination should be in an enterprise geodatabase.  Has anyone else had trouble with this? Thankful for any help.  /Alex
