FME Form

Hi,Using FME Desktop 2022.2.1.0 against FME Server 2022.2.2.  Using an HTTPCaller to download a ZIP file (60MB) from a remote host, FME server (Windows 2019) started sending errors from a certain point in time. the workbench in FME Desktop still runs well.  Earlier downloads using this HTTPCaller worked fine with same settings in HTTPCaller.  Attached the error log. Any ideas? Kind Regards,Gerro   

Hi,I'm working with land use data derived from satellite imagery, and I've encountered a persistent issue with gaps and overlaps. I've already use TopologyBuilder and AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner transformer in FME, and while they've resolved some areas effectively, there are still instances where gaps persist, and some areas have been unintentionally cut off.I've experimented with reducing the tolerance values, but the problem persists. Has anyone faced similar challenges, and do you have any suggestions or alternative approaches to address this issue effectively?Your insights and expertise would be greatly appreciated!

How to download and save multiple DTM zip files from CSV with URLs. Need help with settings for extracting individual files

I want to upload a file to sftp location and we have only private key for connecting. I tried using system caller by keeping this command inside that :sftp -i <private_key_path> -b - user@hostname <<< 'put <path_file_to_upload> <path_remotepath_where_to_upload>'and also tried with this command also:sftp -o -i <privatekey_path> user@hostname but none of the commands worked in fme server, it is showing as failed to execute the command, Am I giving the correct commands or could anyone help me out on how to connect to sftp using private key in fme server configured on linux env.

I have a workspace in FME Workbench 2022.2 that reads an ESRI ArcGIS Server Feature Service containing 7 layers. It successfully reads all 7 layers and transforms them to the appropriate feature types.  That same workspace in FME Form 2023.1.1.1 is able to read in the number of features for all 7 layers but only able to successfully read in the features for 3 of the 7 layers. On the 4 layers that fail it appears to be failing after the first batch of 1000 records are requested. As a test I created a new project with only the FeatureServer reader in FME Form 2023.1.1.1, again same problem. As another test I tried using the MapServer endpoint for the service rather than the FeatureServer endpoint that failed on the 4 layers. This successfully read in all 7 layers.ArcGIS Feature Service Reader: Got 4222 results for layer/table ID 0ArcGIS Feature Service Reader: Splitting reading of 4222 features into 5 batches of up to 1000 featuresArcGIS Feature Service Reader: Getting feature results 0 

I created a primary key using SSMS for the new table but I still get the error the layer does not have identity properties.

I sometimes have to read from multiple readers. Is it possible to set the maximum features to read to ALL feature types? Not just all per reader? Related, is it possible to set the Search Envelop for ALL readers?

Hi All, I'm trying to create a workflow that iterates through a folder which contains individual GDBs (e.g. 20 individual GDBs) and then merges the Feature Classes with the same name into a new blank GDB.Any idea how to make that happen?Thanks 🙂 

Hi, I have 2 data sets (shape-files). A point dataset with 3d-points or at least points where the elevation is stored in an attribute field (different data quality) and a polyline dataset with 2d-lines whose vertices are identical to the points from the point dataset. Is there a way to assign the elevations from the point datasets to the line vertices and then create 3d polylines from them? Thanks for your help

I have a very simple workspace that just tests whether a string has a “.” Or a “:’ in it and if it does then these characters are deleted. I am using the Testfilter to test for the characters, and then a stringreplacer to delete them and then I must make sure the string is all caps. Is there a way to do these three operations by using the String Functions in the Testfilter? I haven’t been able to figure out how the string functions work. Also, will using the string functions speed up the translation? I have 47 million records to test and right now it takes 4 hours to run. I am using FME2018. I have included the workspace and source CSV file. Thanks.

In the writers, under user attributes we can see the table with name, type, of data, width., etc. Is there a way to copy/pate or export this table in csv? I am tasked with data type for multiple outputs, and it would be great not to do so manually.

We are attempting to use the Automations > Manage Automations as a built-in user, but when browsing to that page it is blank and there are no automations in the popup list. We've made the user a member of 'fmeadmin' and 'fmesuperuser' but it makes no difference. So far only the 'admin' account is able to Manage Automations.What are the minimum permissions required for users to make this work?

I have a feature class with a single feature that I need to convert to a multipolygon type geoJson file. I'm not super familiar with geoJSON, and I'm being told this is a hard requirement. How does one create a multipolygon geoJSON file from a single feature?

I have FeatureReader transformers within my workspace that are configured to read features from an Excel file.  The name and path of the Excel file are variables provided by parameter values, but the Excel sheet name is always the same. The schema of the file is likely to vary every time the workspace is run.  I'm really struggling to get any features to read in, and am a bit unsure of where I'm going wrong. From similar posts in the past (eg; https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hdRJSAY/how-to-expose-attributes-from-featurereader-if-feature-type-is-dynamic) it seems that what I'm trying to do potentially isn't possible without scripting something bespoke in a PythonCaller, but it really seems like something that FME should be able to do. Does anyone have any advice or a working methodology for this sort of problem? Thanks in advance

I have two tab files and while joining them I get this error for one of the row ERROR |FeatureJoiner (FeatureJoinerFactory): The UTF-16LE string 'DOÃƑ±A ANA-HILL' could not be converted to the encoding: windows-1252.

Just curious about it as there are different approaches, and would like to understand better my results and analysis.

I am converting ESRI gdb tables to Josn format(text_line), but unfortunately few of attribute values are given extra/unnecessary precision?data from tables : "aos" : 105.20 ,"aos" : 293.22 output generated : "aos" : 105.20999999999999, "aos" : 293.22000000000003To avoid this I have used attribute rounder , but no use, client required only 2 digits after (it should be float) . could some one help to resolve this issue on this.I have used the below transformers gdb readerattribute manager and attribute rounderJosn templaterText file writer (text_line)Thanks in advanceChandra Sekhar Guda  

I am trying to extract getVertexIndices from a mesh and I have to implement a loop when I use the getVertexIndices() method. Also, I am getting different sizes of the list coming through the getVertexIndices() method. Is there a way to get the list of all vertex indices at once and of uniform size?  @daveatsafe​ @Takashi Iijima​ @Hans van der Maarel​ 

As workaround I can create user parameter as intermedia parameter then get it accessed by shutdown python script. But I am more like to find the way to let shutdown python script to DIRECTLY access deployment parameters. Any tip?Thanks,Daniel

I have 200 files. Their names have spaces. I want to replace these spaces in each file name with a dash. What is the best way to do this. I know I start with the pathnames reader. But, what is the next transformer(s) I need to add?

I have a gdb with polygons ( multipolygons). I read polygons and simply write to a new gdb and my polygons holes are filled? It happens also while reading Isee. As if there is a geometry validation happening. How can I stop this? It is really annoying.  

Hi, I need some help setting a basic test with the tester transformer. I'm trying to fail rows from a feature if they match any values in a csv file I've added as a reader. I'm having some issues getting things configured correctly. So something like NOT @Value(field) Contains <Right value>. But I can't seem to connect the right value. Connecting the csv as an input isn't what I want, but I cant figure out the syntax to use in conjunction with '$(SourceDataset_CSV2)'. Sorry for this basic question but I couldn't figure this out looking at the documentation. Thank you.

Hello, I wanted to continue my course when I realised that instead of eight completed modules there is only three. Howewer in the list of completed modules there is the correct number. It seems that there is no cenection between modules and the whole course. When I click to continue course it shows up an empty incomplete module next to the completed one.

Hello Forum, I've searched previous questions, but couldn’t find an answer. I've no doubt someone has posted this before. But, sorry, I couldn’t see it. I need to replace a specified value within an attribute to another value. I have an attribute (field) called Zone Type. Each cell in that attribute has one of several possible values. Where the value is "container" I need to replace it with "Outside CPZ". I don’t want to change any other values. How do I do this? I've tried through AttributeManager but couldn’t work it out. Thanks,Stuart
