Split polygon by lines

I need to split this polygon using as a reference the rows, how can I do this? These polygons are initially rows, which I transform into polygons using AreaBuilder. As a result it generates 2 polygons, however I need to fragment the polygon into more parts according to the rows.

In a way through shell script I should be able to dynamically send the criteria that we apply in tester transformer for filtering the input data. How to do it.

I have made user parameter with name ward, in workspace I am using tester transformer to filter the input data based on criteria. I want to run this workspace using linux terminal while providing filtering criteria dynamically to tester using termin

I have configured tester transformer with user parameter, such that feeding the user parameter through command line will automatically provide the criteria to tester transformer for filtering.

How to (easily) extract an attribute name into the 'value'?

I am trying to get all the unique values from each field in a dataset. I would like to be able to expose the field name into each record, so I have an output table that looks like this:  I can run a statistics calculator to get the unique values, but the only way I have managed to expose the field name is by using an attribute exploder. This seems a bit messy because it outputs a whole bunch of combinations I am not interested in.  In the attribute manager, using @Value(fieldName) will return the actual value rather than the field name itself - are there any tricks using string expressions etc. to expose the actual field name? Seems like a simple thing to do but may be better handled in python. Just wanting to know if it's possible in FME! Would be really handy.

"Failed to retrieve feature types." - ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader

Attempting to read a layer via a Feature Service on Portal. As I am the owner I have the relevant permissions to access the layer, and it also has relevant editing permissions. This is confirmed by being able to edit the layer in Portal itself. However, when attempting to read in the layer I am met with the error in the question title. I can successfully connect to our portal, and even the Feature Service using the reader - it just fails when attempting to select the layer. See below:I should add that the log does not provide any useful information. Appreciate that this could be rooted in Portal configuration but any guidance much appreciated!

Odd behaviour for AttributeFilter, Tester, TesterFilter with Unfiltered values

Hi All,I'm facing some odd behaviuor with the AttributeFilter, Tester, TesterFilter. The screenshot below shows that my data includes 'g2a' values in the attribute table but I filters that value in any of the transformers cited above the values doesn't show up?  Here is another snapshot of the AttributeFilter (unfiltered) after importing all values From Feature Cache:  Why does it go into the Unfiltered values?  Any idea more than welcome 🙂Thanks

How to generalise/ simplify pipe solid by reducing the number of face polygons

Hello, I have a IFC which contains some 3D pipe (ifcFlowSegment), somehow it has about 70 face polygons, which makes it looks great but it creates some issue in the following workflow in ArcGIS Pro. I'm wondering if there's a way to generalise/ simplify pipe solid, for example by reducing the number of face polygons to half or something? Thank you.

What happens with "overwrite repository" when importing a project into FME Form?

I am importing a project into FME Form that contains two automations, associated workspaces, and the repository for the workspaces. The repository for the workspaces already exists in the FME Form environment I'm importing into and it has other unrelated workspaces in it. The Preview Import page states that I will overwrite the exisiting repository during import. What, exactly, does "overwrite" mean? I only want to add the two new workspaces to the existing repository. Is that what happens? Or does the import process completely replace the repository, wiping out any existing workspaces and keeping just the two new ones? Something else? I'm trying to figure out if I should include the repository during import or not. I can't find any documentation that provides an answer. If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

JSONTemplater does not set double quotes for number values

My configuration in the JSONTemplater looks like this:  {  "type": "Feature",  "geometry": {    "type": "Point",    "coordinates": [      fme:get-attribute("X"),      fme:get-attribute("Y")    ]  },  "properties": {  "33064" : fme:get-attribute("33064"),  "33085" : fme:get-attribute("33085"),  "33103" : fme:get-attribute("33103")  }} As result I get: { "type" : "Feature", "geometry" : { "type" : "Point", "coordinates" : [ 7.61438690276304, 47.5603635244644 ] }, "properties" : { "33064" : "", "33085" : 94328460, "33103" : "2. von B Spezmast Nr.55" } } The number is not set in double quotes which results in error when I use the json string. Any ideas what could be the reason.

Custom transformer error in linked mode

Hi;I created a very simplified version of my custom transformer.All it does is find the center point and define the layer name for the future dwg writer.Attached is a custom transformer and workbench example, where dwg writer creates a dwg file with point in the default layer that come from custom transformer.When I use the transformer in "linked" mode and start the entire workbench, I get an error.When I use it in "linked" mode but with the use of feature caching to the transformer, and then I only start the dwg writer with "run to this", then it's ok.When I use the transformer in "embedded" mode, everything works fine.The difference in the translation log is in line:"Using MultiWriter with keyword `PRIMARY_DEST' to output data (ID_ATTRIBUTE is `multi_writer_id')"in embedded mode and"Using MultiWriter with keyword `REDIRECTED_DEST' to output data (ID_ATTRIBUTE is `multi_writer_id')" in linked mode.Note tha

Use same FeatureWriter for Lines and Polygons

Hello,Can I use the same FeatureWriter transformer to write lines and polygons into the same GDB? I know how to do it in a normal writer but can't get it to work with the FeatureWriter. Below an example of the workbench which filter the geometry by areas and lines and then go into two different ports in the transformer Below an example of the FeatureWriter settings where I have included two feature types (polygon and lines)  Do I need to set a Dynamic Schema Definition? I have tried that option with 'Schema From Schema Feature' option but failed, Any idea more than welcome, thanks! :)

csv / feature writer slow with dynamic filename

Hi there, if I have a dynamic filename within a csv or feature writer, e.g. "@Value(LINK_DIRECTION)_@Value(SIMULATION)_@Value(TECHNOLOGY)_@Value(BAND)_@Value(CARRIER)_@Value(TYPE)_@Value(SERVER)-importfile" it takes about 25 seconds to write one million files. If I write simply to test.csv, it takes about 2 seconds.Both variants writes only one file. I tried also to group by within the featurewriter with option "Complete Groups when Group Changes". All records are within the same group.User Attribute Definition is in all cases set to "Automatic".What did I wrong? What's the best way to just write into a csv file, with various attributes in the filename?Thank you for any help!I'm using FME 2022.2

I have tried looking through the forums and found a few related questions. I am trying to use the schemamapper transformer but ever single time I load my csv into the transformer and press next, this seems to crash FME. Is this a transformer issue?

Or is there a certain way the csv needs to be structured in order to take on a new schema? Thank for your time.
