Hello enthusiasts, I am trying to migrate a bulk data (assume 2Million records) to an oracle table due to size  planning to split and sent them by batches. In this situation I have a certain doubts which are below, if a data already migrated to the oracle table, but next batch also have that record means oracle will through the “unique id constraint” error. how can I skip that record and move next one? Due to size of the data, i am splitting them into different batches and try to run parallel. FYI: I am migrating data into one same oracle table using oracle writer. can i run multiple workbenches (like insert1.fmw and insert2.fmw) parallelly and is it works fine or will be chances to loss data in this scenario ?WRITER using: oracle spatial object expecting your thoughts and suggestions.Thanks in advance !

I want to compare different methods of generating TIN-models. To assess the quality of each model, I want to calculate the vertical distance between each point in the input point cloud and the generated TIN in order to later calculate for example the RMSE. Any tips on an approach?

I am using FTPCaller. If I add the Emailer to the rejected port will it send me an email if the output gets kicked to the rejected port? I would have the Emailer already configured to send me an email. I want to double check with the Community since my workbench will stop running if the FTPCaller output is rejected. Here is a screenshot of a mock up workspace (note I have not set up the transformer parameters yet hence you see the red gear icons.) Not shown below, I know it will send me an email if the FTPCaller output is sent to Output.  

I want to write lines into an existing PostGIS table, which has default values for most of the columns. With FME PostGIS Writer, when executing the process, I have errors returning (in french):Bulk copy failed on table 'XXX' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'ERREUR:  une valeur NULL viole la contrainte NOT NULL de la colonne « YYY» dans la relation « XXX » I would like to use the Postgres default values for these NOT NULL columns, but I cannot find the way to do it.I use FME Form 2023.2

I'm trying to read a (big?) ecw file (EPSG 28992, 173 Mb) using FME 2020.1.0.1.This is very slow (> 10 minutes), QGIS displays the same file in a matter of seconds. I'm wondering if I'm missing some reader parameters that might speed up the process. I do need best resolution though...

Hi FME community,I’ve been tasked with trying to get the metadata we hold (in a SQL server database) into an INSPIRE-compliant format.I was hoping that we could use the metadata we currently hold (Title, Abstract, Temporal Extents etc) and run it through an INSPIRE XSD template. However, it’s pretty overwhelming when I look at the XSD templates (which I got from here - application-schemas/schemas at main · INSPIRE-MIF/application-schemas · GitHub) as there are so many nested parts (see screenshot). Is there a relatively straightforward method I could use for each topic of data (be they addresses, parcels of land etc - which have their own topic under the INSPIRE framework) which could be joined in FME and output an XML file which can be imported to the data in ArcPro? It seems a bit convoluted but I’m just trying to get an idea of where to go from here with a large shift in metadata storage and how we will be using it at my organisation going forward. Thanks

Dear all, I’m fairly new to FME but currently I’m quite impressed by the software :). My question is rather simple: is there an equivalent in FME of the Tabulate Areas function of ArcGIS Pro: Tabulate Area (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | DocumentationI have two datasets:The cadastral parcels of Wallonia in polygon format ; A land cover classification (TIFF raster) with 20+ classes.I would like to calculate for each polygonal entity the proportion of land cover classes.The result should look like this:ID | LC1 | LC2 | LC3 | … | LC201 | 10% | 0 | 0 |25 | … | 02 | …3 | … Many thanks in advance for your feedback :)

When I simply add the PDF reader and convert to the TIFF writer, alle Images are exported separately into rows, meaning that for each individual PDF-File I get 100+ TIFFs. How can convert PDF to TIFF without this happening?

Hello, I am new to handling JSON but am really struggling to understand it.  I have formatted json stored in a csv as an attribute.  I cannot seem to flatten or fragment it.  Latest attempt was to write to a json then read in and fragment.  The workspace screenshot attached ran successfully but hasn’t exposed the strings I have requested.

Hello, I am trying to update the date field records of a feature class using arcpy update cursor, but I am getting the following error (text in bold), please let me know If I am missing anything :   Field Name : e_result_datetimeField Values : 20230803081554 Field datatype : Date Also, want to mention that I am able to update the string, double data type fields using updatecursor in FME with no issues - it’s only with date data type I am facing the problem. Python Exception <RuntimeError>: The value type is incompatible with the field type.

Hi ,Is there any way to use an ifc file containing ifc objects, extract a specific object , then put it in precise locations in another ifc file that I am creating in the workflow?for exemple if I am interested in using this ifcDoor object that is inside a file1.ifc file : and the positions where i want to put this ifcDoor are where the 2d doors (the red lines) of my input file are located (my input is a dwg file containg 2D doors):All I can do now is just extrude those 2d doors , add ifc attributes to them , and them write them to ifcDoor writer .  but they don't even look like doors :i want the doors to look like the ones in my file1.ifc file (their color , geometry , texture )I'm searching for a way to do it , but I am afraid that it is impossible .

Hi AllI am trying to set up a workspace to react when a change is made to an ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase table but cant figure out how to watch for changes on the table.I could set up a scheduled task to read all of the data and then a change detector to update a further table but that doesn't seem a wise use of resources, particular if there are no changes.SO any ideas how to watch this database table for changes efficiently??Regards   

I am getting features in through a WFS and pump the resulting XML structures through an XMLFlattener.The Elements to Match are ‘grouped’ by an attribute value and thereby dynamic.What I cannot make dynamic are the Attributes to Expose. I can either write them myself, or import them, but how can I get e.g. a list to work there, or the value of an attribute?Best thing would be the option of a conditional value… 😉

Hi how can create a perpendicular line that connect point to line, I mean I need to connect red points to blue line with a perpendicluar line  thxFrancesco

xcopy "$(TEMP_FOLDER)\$(FME_JOB_ID)\Temp"  "$(TEMP_FOLDER)\$(FME_JOB_ID)\Results" /I /E /Y /TFrom the command line I use xcopy /I /E /Y /T and if the directory does not exist it creates it but within a SystemCaller it does not work and does not give an error message.I need Help 

Is there a way to check if a directory exists?I create a directory B using the mkdir command within one SystemCaller and in another SystemCaller it copies file from directory A to B and it works.But the process must copy copy new files that are created in directory A and the mkdir gives an error because the directory already exists.

Since eternity and up to FME 2022 we placed our DLLs for self implemented transformers in FME_HOME directory.In FME 2024 it seems they need to be placed in FME_HOME\plugins directory ?!Since when is this requirement in effect ?Is there a way to influence where transformer DLLs are searched by FME ?

Hello, I have a problem with INSPIRE validator. I created a ETL schema in my FME Desktop environment according to INSPIRE theme of Protected Sites. So I've done it by applying all the technical guides from INSPIRE, and solved all my previous validation errors except this one: The dataset has 1 file(s) with errors for this assertion.XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': The file has 1 schema validation error(s).XML document 'ProtectedSites ETRS89_jasmin.gml': 1:729: cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'gml:FeatureCollection'.When I use the Hale studio for transformation and get my GML, validation process goes smoothly, but with FME I have a problem. During my analysis I saw that in Hale Studio GML I have a longer <gml: FeatureCollection > tag in the xxsi:schemaLocation part. Here is the Hale xsi: schemaLocation: xsi:schemaLocation="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0 https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ps/4.0/Prot

Hi,I have a shapefile with lines, some of which show the degree of curvature...I would like to delete some lines based on the angle of curvature.How can I do that?  

I’m using FME Workbench 2023.1.  I have an excel file with a Payment Type attribute field.  There are 4 types:Cash Check Credit Card Money OrderNot all payment types will be present in the excel file each time this is run, but I need it to still have an output for that payment type.  I’m fairly new to FME and used an Attribute Filter transformer to filter for each Payment Type, but when there are no rows in my excel file with a particular Payment Type, I will not get any kind of output. See below image for example of one of the areas in my script where I use this filter.  I think I need to create a domain of values for the the Payment Type field, before this is run and maybe get a count?  In the end what I need is if there are no payments of that type in the Payment Type field, then when I sum the payment amounts for each Payment Type, that particular Payment Type would need to be given an output sum of, 0.  If you look in my below image, the only Payment Type that has an output is Cre

Hello FME community, I have a workspace which I always run with quick translator. Since my user parameters are never going to be changed, is there a way that I can simply double-click on this file and it runs with quick translator without the need to click OK or press Enter to confirm the user parameters? 

Hi,I have data from the WFS address, for parcels of land. I need to perform an additional check in which it will be checked if some of parcels are not duplicated. That is, I need to detect if there are two polygons, one on top of the other, in my layer in WFS in one place. Please give me some suggestions.
