FME Form

From the FME Documentation about the INSPIRE GML Reader/Writer I read that "FME supports themes up to and including v4.0.". I tried to validate my FME INSPIRE GML output (for theme PS) with the INPIRE Reference Validator, but the test fails. On the support platform it is noted that the test that fails, "Validation against INSPIRE official schema", tests against the new version 5 of the schema. They recommend generating the GML according to the new version 5 of the GML. Can FME already do that, or do I have to wait for a new version of the INSPIRE GML writer?

Hi,I am trying to use FME 2023 version to convert OBJ into Cesium 3DTiles.While the conversion is successful, I notice that it causes our application to becomes sluggish, and it also consumes alot more resources. The application I am using is Luciad (https://dev.luciad.com/) and the software vendor has given the following feedback after investigating the Cesium 3D Tiles data:1. The number of .b3dm tiles generated are too few, resulting in each .b3dm being to "heavy" for loading & rendering.2. No sufficient number of "level of details" To demostrate that, I created a small sample and uploaded to https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FYMHx977zB_NAJa74nqMfmLvlMqWKPog/view?usp=sharing.1. Large .b3dm files    a. The .obj that I convert to Cesium 3D Tiles has 330K triangles.    b. Only 2 .b3dm files were created. But it should have at least 33 .b3dm files (330K/10000) since I am using 10000 for Maximum Number of Triangle Faces Per Tile (see 3dtiles_setting.png)    c. It seems like the FME 3DT

Hello,Could you advice, please, what transformers to use for my task? This might be easy task, but I am stuck. :( What I have: generic reader with the dataset in any of these formats SHP, TAB, KML or CSV.I need to define: if there is no geometry, WKT or SRID then set corresponding attributes to NULL If there is binary geometry then put the geometry to the attribute YY If there is WKT then add WKT value to the attribute UU if there is also a SRID in the file put that in ...How to check if my data has "no geometry", binary geometry, WKT and SRID and set conditions?Appreciate your help. Thank you in advance. 

Hello, I am trying to create a workbench that will read in all our add/delete tables from our SDE, do a count on the running total of records for each, and export a spreadsheet with the table name, and the counts in each,I’m using a SQL Creator and my SQL statement is something like SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <tablename>,and right now that's not returning me any value even though it was successful? Also, how would I go about coding out to add the next table in?would it be:SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <tablename>unionSELECT COUNT(*) FROM <tablename2>unionand so forth?also for background:We use Microsoft SQL Studio, and I chose the connection as a spatial server.Thanks for any help!

Hello, the problem is the following. I have a duplicateFilter attached to 2 different featuresTypes, which have an attribute in common. I would like, however, that when there are duplicates, the features of a certain type remain in the unique port. In other words: when there are duplicates, I always want the pair of the copy that goes to unique to be of a certain feature type, always the same, and to be able to control it. Any ideas? Thanks, Pol

Hello,I’ve researched this a bit now, and most folks point to the Generalizer, maybe Thin No Point.  However, I’m not concerned about distance away from other vertices (parameters of Thin No Point), rather I’m only concerned with removing vertices that fall in a straight line under the original line.  In other words, remove vertices that don’t change the shape.  These vertices could be 1 foot away from an adjacent vertex or 1000’ feet, doesn’t matter. I’m more or less looking for a algorithm that checks whether each vertex is on-line between it’s neighbor to the left and neighbor to the right.  If it is on-line, then remove, if not, keep.  I realize that there would need to be some tolerance parameter (angle or distance offline) due to rounding, but can accept that fact. Any ideas what transformer or Generalizer parameters to choose to best achieve this?Thank you,Tyler

I need some help with this problem below. As seen below the lines have diffrent attribute ID’s 1,2 and 3. The lines 1 and 3 are moving correctely as a offet 10 meter from their first location, as seen in the picture to the left. But line number 2 are not moving as an offset, as it is an exit ramp with different attributes than line 1 and 3. I want line number 2 to move with line 1 and 3, so they are connected in the same way as the right picture, meaning same direction and shape. I already have a dataset as the right version and my first thought is to create a point layer with start- and endpoints of each line and make them always connected as line 1 and 3 are moving. How should I solve this problem as easy as possible. I have a large roadmap of these lines and problems, so this is just an example.  

I created a few polygons  with topologybuilder and now i need to explode them in order to test some line on line with another feature.ive tried chopper which works greate except the fact that converts the arc in polygons to line and ruins everything. so how do i split these close polygons back to lines and arcs?ivre tried GeometryPartExtractor to filder out arc but the results are arcs and rest of the polygon insted of being a polyline without that part it convert it in cloed polygon 

I received a service bus connection string in the following format:Endpoint=sb://sb-sb-s-sbb-mastersupa.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=Andblablablab;SharedAccessKey=blablablablablablalbablablablabla+blablabla=;EntityPath=moreblablablablablatestBut it gives me an error in FME 2019,2020,2021Is says: Error: claim is empty or token is invalid.Should I enter the string in another format? Also: In 2022 and 2023 I get an error: No module named ‘uamqp’. Looks like this module is not available in this Python library set?

Hello,I want to generate an incrementation from the max value of a column in order to not have duplicate values. The _max value column is not recovered in the counter for the 50 duplicate features :  Any idea ? Thank you 

I have encountered a strange issue with FME web connections via OAuth2 which does not seem to be resolved yet.On one of our company’s networks physical Windows 10 PC, there are three versions of FME Desktop / FME Flow installed in parallel (we need these to cater to our different customer’s needs). When I routinely tried to check and update an FME workspace, I ran into the problem that authentication with an OAuth 2 Web connection (via Microsoft 365 account) did not work anymore. At first, the web connection window took more than 40 (!) seconds to appear with the logos sometimes not even fully appearing. When I entered my credentials, it takes another 20 seconds and then gives me an error not to have found it. The credentials are tested and correct. There are no proxy connections.Resetting FME Options has not worked, and neither has setting up the web connection completely from anew.Tests on a different machine within the same network (but on my Windows user) could not replicate the pr

Attached are simple FME-Workspaces from version 2017 and FME-Form with GeometryPropertySetters and Aggregators and the xml outputs. The 2 workspaces are exactly the same.FME 2017 writes the aixm Marking Element Geometry as expected, but FME-Form does not - the MarkingElement Geometry Feature is missing (Workaround is to use XML-Templater).Any idea, is this a bug?

Hi All,I’m getting the following error in the FeatureWriter transformer:A field type of 'number(20,version;1;cell_border_formatting;NO;text_alignment;NO;cell_protection;NO)' was specified, which is not valid. Please check the documentation on the Reader/Writer for information on valid field types...the normal GDB writer works perfectly fine with the same data...I had a look into the field types but couldn’t find the error,Any ideas?

I want to style vector by “Mapbosxtyler” and write to .mvt (Mapbox vector tile).I try to make style for line, point no problem. But with the polygon file, Mapboxstyler , I use checked fill style and stroke style to make it, But they can’t. Could you tell me why? Thank you

Hi, I have a text string that looks something like this…LOT 4-6 DP 287 SEC 2-3 SO 345152 I have a regex “(LOT \d+[\s?&-]\d+ DP \d+ ){1,}”  that grabs the LOT 4-6 DP 287 from the text line.How can I split the 4-6 into separate attributes so I end up with Lot 4 DP 287 Lot 5 DP 287 Lot 6 DP 287I could do it with a testfilter but there are unknown combinations. 1-12, 60-62, 78-82 etcAny help is greatly appreciated.Regards, Paul

Hi,I am just wondering if you know the way to get the list of the layers that are chosen in particular Layer List widget in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder.

Hey.I need to count the number of characters in all text fields of my dataset.Any simple way to do this to avoid using multiple StringLengthCalculator ?

Searched for possible solutions here, but nothing yet. Have : col0 col1 col2 col3 col4 Region A BU02851 BU02852 BU02853 BU02854 Region Value A 50 55 40 10 Region Value B 7 11 4 15 Region Value C 60 70 10 25  Need : Region A Region Value C       BU02851 60       BU02852 70       BU02853 10       BU02854 25        What steps do I need to take to get this done? Thanks in Advance ! 

Hey. Do you have any idea how to solve the sequential processing of input elements on HorizonAngleCalculator? If I have several elements on the input of the Horizontal Transformer, I need one element to be processed and then the next element to follow after that element is processed. After that, I would put a featureholder after the HorizontalAngleCalculator and it might work. I've tried testing the featureholder with counter and filtering features that have already been processed, but somehow I can't get it to work. Thank you very much

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 resultant appellation in this example would be: PT RS 17343 17491 BLK VII X XI TENGAWAI SD-TIMBER NOT ASSESSED I would be very grateful for any help with this.Regards, Paul 

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 resolve this? Thanks, Chuck

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?
