FME Form

Hello everyone!New to FME here. I have a question regarding merging different geometry types into a single SHP. For example, for my scripts, I am converting over many features from a source DWG into a SHP. It seems to work correctly within FME Workbench where all features seem to be passed through into the SHP, but when I uploaded it onto FME Server to run on a nightly basis to update the resulting SHP, it states: Is there an alternate workflow/transformer to implement that would ensure that different geometry types would be merged into the SHP? For example, I would want line, area and arc geometries to be merged into the final LANE WIDENING SHP. 

Hello, We have been troubleshooting this FME translation for a while and can’t figure out a solution.  The Inserted, Deleted features of the ChangeDetector write reasonably quickly but the Update features are writing so slow it will be unusable, GIF for reference.  Things we’ve tried without any differences:Indexing all fields in ArcCatalogIndexing Just the Match Column fields (3 Fields to make a Unique ID)Indexing and using a CRCCalculator field for the Match ColumnsAdding a FeatureHolder after the ChangeDetectorAdding a AttributeManager after the ChangeDetector removing unused fieldsWriting to a File Geodatabase (SDE is ultimately the goal and being used in the gif below)Not Checking the Geometry in the ChangeDetectorChanging Transaction types in the WriterChanging and testing various other settings in the transformers and writers  

Hi, all, as the title suggests, we bought FME Server on the back of this information on the FME Website which reads "Esri’s I3S format is perfect for streaming large, heterogeneous 3D data across internet platforms. Create FME workflows to bring your 3D objects, meshes and point clouds together as a scene layer package (SLPK). This format is easy to handle and is ready to use in the cloud, on the web, or on your mobile device." Of course, we have learnt that point clouds is not yet supported. Can we get an update on what date the point clouds will be supported? Also, in the meantime, I think the FME website should be updated to more accurately reflect capability.

Hi there,I have following input:a list with unknown/varying keys and valuesWhat I need:the name of the keys as attribute valuesExamplesWhat I already tried:ListHistogrammer This has no effect. Is it because it’s a “nested list”? Cheers,Maria

Parcels are created, removed or changed in GIS,  but we also have a CAD Map3d basemap that we also maintain.  One of these basemaps contains a text layer that has the address number for each parcel, what I am trying to do is compare the parcel address number from the GIS against the cad basemap find out which ones have changed, removed or inserted then make the changes to the cad file.I have already setup readers for the GIS and CAD parcel polygons and using a change detector I know what is different compared to the polygon basemap, but now I need to take that result and check it against the text in the cad basemap and update it. for some reason the number of changes don’t seem to match when I compre the text.  how would you suggest I attempt to do this, is there something I am missing.

Hi, I am using FME to write tables into SQL Server, is there any setting for collation i can add Latin1_General_CI_AI Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jay 

I have a problem writing a date field in a Filegeodatabase (open API Fgdb Writer)As soon as I enter these date fields manually, nothing is put in the Fgdb.In the attribute creator I enter @DateTimeFormat(20240101,%d-%m-%Y) so this should work.What can I do to make this work?

HiI collected some data with mobile mapping system and I classified the point cloud now I would like to extract the upper profile of the facades (red line in the picture) I tried to extract the maximun z but I doesn’t workcan you help please ?thx Francesco

Is there a way to setup a trigger in FME to send an email anytime a new record is added to the Feature Layer. I have an AGOL hosted Public Facing Application where the residents can add points and fill out some information. I would like to get an email every time a new record is added by the user. 

hola necesito encontrar en mi base de datos si tengo alguna geometría duplicada.Alguien sabe de algún transformador? 

Hello there,i have a big Problem. My FME-Desktop-Application crashes while loading the main window. If i start FME the littel loading window appears. But when the main window is loading the launcher crashes without any errormessage.Reinstalling the software didnt solve the problem.Have anyone a idea what i can do? Thanks 🙂

Hi guys, I would like to run a network analysis. I red some articles about this using FME but I got stuck. Hopefully you can help me out. Input data:Polygons representing buildings Polygons representing parks. Line road networkFor each building I want to compute whether its possible to reach a park within 300m distance using the provided network. Could you give me support in the right direction?I tried to use the MeasureExtractor and NetworkCostCalculator but did not manage until now.This image shows the general idea, walking from a building via the red line to a park in green. 

I am trying to use FeatureWriter to create tables in various different PostGIS databases. I am specifying the Database Connection (host, port, database) using attributes from the schema feature but I'm getting the following error:FeatureWriter (WriterFactory): MULTI_WRITER: No dataset was specified for MULTI_WRITER_DATASET or FeatureWriter_0_DATASET or POSTGIS_DATASETMULTI_WRITER: No dataset was specified for MULTI_WRITER_DATASET or FeatureWriter_0_DATASET or POSTGIS_DATASETIf I hardcode the database connection parameter the FeatureWriter works as expected, even with host and port still using attribute values. I have used the database attribute successfully on a FeatureReader in the same workspace so can't understand why it's not working here.Any suggestions on why this might not be working or how I could get around the problem would be much appreciated.  ThanksTom

Lines/polygons contain ordered data of every vertice that they are made up of. Is there an easy way to extract ALL these positions as points? (preferably while retaining attributes) 

I’ve read this article : https://support.safe.com/s/article/autocad-to-ifc-conversion-example that converts a DWG plan consisting of a 3 storey layer , and all the object have a HEIGHT attribute that is used to extrude the 3D geometry from the 2D input , then the ifc file is created with all the infos in a single ifcSpace . But my need is different ,in the input , my autocad file has attributes of HEIGHT , as well as TYPE ,which would contain the type of each object (WALL , DOOR , WINDOW , Stairs , etc ).and so i want the output ifc file to be a rich file with multiple types of objects : ifcDoor , ifcWindow , ifcWall ,.. . instead of just a 3D model in an ifcSpace .

I recently posted a question on the r/fme subreddit but am reposting here to see if I have better luck. I’m including the reddit post for context in the Original Post Contents section below.Since creating the post, I ended up joining the attributes I needed from the JSON to my transformation table but at the cost of decreased performance, see the Update to Original Post section below. Original Post ContentsDoes anyone know if there's a way to easily load attributes from a simple JSON file to be used as Parameters in an FME workspace (Workbench 2022.2)?I want to be able to alter the values in the JSON file and have the changes reflected in the FME Parameters, instead of having to manually set each parameter in FME by hand when I want to make a change.Here's a portion of the JSON file I'm using.

i have a problem to find the driver for FME data Inspector 2023.1i have install the ODBC drivers 

Hi, when I create a new feature class in an ArcSDE Geodatabase (Oracle) the field “SE_ANNO_CAD_DATA” gets created automatically. Is it possible to disable this field in the writer? I did not find anything in the documentation about this. 

Hi - I’m wondering if anyone has tried to read a filegeodb straight from s3 with a featurereader.  The S3 connector documentation implies this might be possible - but I could not get it to work.  I had to have the gdb directory local on my machine for it to work.  Has anyone else run into this?  It would be cool if it did work, since I don’t like having these file geodbs local.  I can work around it if not.  

When using the SQLITE3 Reader, unchecked attributes from the User Attributes tab are not exposed downstream to any transformer like AttributeManager, -Remover, -Keeper. This behavior is as expected.However when using the FeatureType downstream on the Requestor side of a FetureMerger and the conflict resolution is set to ‘Use Requestor’ , the unchecked attribute is still active behind the scene and take precedence over the attribute of the same name coming from the Supplier.It turned out that I need to keep the unwanted attribute ‘checked’ and remove it actively with an AttributeRemover to avoid the unexpected usage in the FeatureMerger.I also tried to force it by changing the workspace option Reader/Writer Options > Allow Reader Feature Type Editing, but it made no difference.Question: is this a bug or dangerously intended? Setup: FME Forms 2023.2 for win 64

HI, I have a gdb with a lot of feature classes and I need FME to search thoroug the content of each layer and give me the list of all attributes from each layer that meets certain tester requirements. I was thinking of usint Attribute Validator but the content of the gdb will be changing hence adding attributes manually to each tester is going to be very time consuming. I need FME to search thorouhg the content of each layer saved in the gdb and give me the attributes 

Hello, I have received a GEOJSON file from a data supplier, which I would like to convert into a shapefile. Unfortunately, I am not able to extract the geometries with their corresponding attributes from this file. If I use the standard reader for JSON files, I can look at all attributes in the Inspector, but I have no geometries, only an object (?). If I integrate a ListExploder after the reader, I at least have all the objects that are integrated in the file, but I only ever see the first point of the object.My question now is how I can extract both the geometries and the corresponding attributes from the file and save them in a ShapeFile or similar?I attached a small sample. Thanks a lot

I have a workspace that uploads zipped folder to a Dropbox folder. I have established the Dropbox web connection, token is also retrieved and authenticated. When I run - I get translation is successful with no errors. But I dont see the folder on my Dropbox account. What am I missing ? Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you so much

Hi,I am converting a Civil 3D DWG file to GDB. However, once I read the DWG file, the colors appear to be changed to black and white. I attempted to use DWGStyler, but the colors are still not reverting to their original state. I've checked the Reader Parameters to ensure that "Resolve Entity Color" is selected. Could someone please assist me?1 more thing that I found is that, once I use autocad_color or fme_color in DWGStyler the values disappear.  Thanks in advance

Hi,  I am attempting to ingest Microsoft Project Online data into our on-prem MMSQL Warehouse. I have found that the only (?) way to get the api is via SharePoint: https://<xyz>.sharepoint.com/sites/ProjectWebAppTestSite/_api/ProjectData The URL Above lists endpoints for all the sub-components ie: https://<xyz>.sharepoint.com/sites/ProjectWebAppTestSite/_api/ProjectData/[en-US]/Projects I am after recommendations for "simple" one-to-one replication of this data structure in SQL via FME.  The SharpointOnline component allows access to the document as an HTML file which I would have to manually parse and furthermore the site (via FME) only lists 5 Items in a document library
