FME Form

The netcdf format is new to me. I have created a multiband raster with 50 bands. Each band contains values for 1 day. My workflow looks like this: The sampler to the left is for testing only and lets 7 bands go through. The listbuilder creates a list of values for the 'days_since' variable. I want to use these values in the writer for the 'netcdf_band{}.coordinate_variable{}' port.How do I apply this as a list? At the moment I have to apply them individually day for day in the attribute manager before the writer.This works but is obviously not scalable. Any help in this matter would be much appr

While reading a gpkg file, I am getting the following error, Does anyone know what i can get over this error?

Hi, I am trying to rename feature classes in the gdb. I have found couple posts about this but I got FAILED when I implementing suggested soutions. What am I doing wrong? 

Hi!! I've got a problem in FME Desktop 2022.2 that I did not have in FME Desktop 2021.2 I have a workflow that makes POST request to ArcGIS Print Service in order to get an image of a map. We upgraded version and this workflow it doesn't work right now. It shows the following error:  "The encoded string is not a valid fme-wwjd string" The content of this string is a JSON that I need to do my request. As I sayd, the same workflow it works on version 2021.2Does anyone has any idea what happen?

good morning fme intusiasts I need your help. I have to convert .RGB files to .ECW and unfortunately I have no possibility to install "https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate.html" GDAL_Translate, which would save me a lot. it is about the "Intergraph Raster Reader/Writer" (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-ReadersWriters/ingr/ingr.htm?Highlight=intergraph) Is there a possibility to use this reader/writer ?  Kind regards Michael

HiI've got ACAD file and need to migrate objects placed by operator on autocad paper space. FME can read paper spaces (parameter 'Read Paper Space') but objects have got coordinates related to paper spaces. Is there something to get georelation for paper space and map data?

I'm using the HTTPCaller to read in an MDS data feed that I would like to convert to an AGOL line feature by connecting the points together from the "route" attribute. I'm able to extract the attributes for each trip in the dataset using the JSON Fragmenter and JSON Extractor, but I'm getting stuck on creating the geometry. How can I take each point coordinate from a trip and connect them into a line and keep the trip attributes associated with it? Example of the JSON format is attached. 

Hi, In the FME basic training I am trying to create a PostGIS connection for Exercise 4 'FME Hackathon' (page 430).The Hackathon PostGIS Database should be located at postgis.train.safe.com, but I cannot get a connect with it using the given parameters (below). I followed the steps Tools -> Database Connections -> Add Database Connection.Host: postgis.train.safe.com Port: 5432 Database: fmedata Username: fmedataIn the log window the following error appears:Error connecting to PostgreSQL database(host='postgis.train.safe.com', port='5432', dbname='fmedata', user='fmedata', password='***'): 'server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.'Isn't the server online or am I doing something wrong?My version is: FME

Why does featurewriter hang when I import featuretype from dataset? Is this a bug?  FME Flow Version: FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)Windows Version: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (Build 19045.3693) I add a FeatureWriter to the canvas.I open its configuration dialog.I set the format as Microsoft SQL Server Non-SpatialI set the connection one of the Database Connections I have saved in FME.I click the drop down menu below the Feature Types input port list and select Import from Dataset...I select the table from the dialogs.The table attributes are loaded and the table shows up in the Feature Types input port list.I close the dialog and the FeatureWriter transform is now not accessible and immovable. I am able add other transformers, readers, and writers, but if I resize the Flow window, the window panes do not resize with the window.

I have a report coming out of an out-of-the-box Vertigis Studio workflow that is written out as multiple excel files. Each has the title Results (number) e.g. Results (1), Results (2). (The dataset name is exposed as the tab name, for some reason and not the file name). If I were reading a group of spreadsheets with the same structure, I would just set the reader to read *.xlsxw, and it would be non problem. However - here I have differing attribute schemas.  The datasets called by each report vary depending on a spatial interaction, but come from a finite list of possibilities. And as I say, the attribute schemas can vary.  I need to read all files of the output, expose attributes and write out into a single excel sheet, fanned out by dataset (presumably using the FME basename - is it possible to grab the tab title instead?) I have done the reading thus far using a Reader set as pic attached ...however, this isn't dynamic. Moreover, t

Hi everyone, If I want to change a numeric value of an attribute, I tend to use the ExpressionEvaluator. I kind of see it as the 'transformer equivalent' of the Arithmetic Editor. Is there a 'transformer equivalent' of the Text Editor as well? I guess there is the StringReplacer, StringConcatenator, AttributeManager, etc., but which one would be the best/most efficient to use? And speaking of efficiency, I have another question regarding transformers. A colleague of mine told me a while ago that, for debugging's sake, it is wiser to use e.g. an AttributeCreator, AttributeRenamer and AttributeKeeper in series instead of using a single AttributeManager to perform all those tasks in one go. I tend to agree with them on that, but does this also have any consequences for performance? I can imagine the difference being minimal, but best practices and all that. Thanks in advance!

I've always had a hard time with XMLUpdater, but it usually ends up working. This time I just can't make sense of the errors and how to solve it. I have two XML, I want to take elements from one of them and use those elements to replace the elements in the other XML.  If I take the exact text from the XML-fragmenter at create an attribute containing just that, the XMLUpdater accepts it and produces the expected result.If the XMLUpdater is part of the same flowpath as the XMLFragmenter the XMLUpdater will throw an error.I even tried putting it into a new attribute with different datatype. Can that be right?? The attached workspace is made in FME 2023.2 but the error is the same in FME 2022.2.Any help or ideas is appreciated.

Hi.I haven't really used XML Updater before, but is now tasked with trying to update certain sub-elements i a large hierarchy. I'm trying to update QGIS project files (QGS).I've extracted the needed replacement tag with content, and routes them in via the "update" connector. But I'm stumped wrt. how it's set up correctly.My XPath is set to be this: //field[@name=fme:get-attribute("fieldname")]/editWidgetThis is the location of the tags I want to update (replace) in the source XML file.But it doesn't replace anything, and it errs with this somewhat cryptic message in the log:XMLUpdater(XQueryFactory2): The following error occurred while executing query number 1:XMLUpdater(XQueryFactory2): The following error occurred near line 2, column 26 of the query:XMLUpdater(XQueryFactory2): invalid expression: syntax error, unexpected "type"My replacement XML tag looks like this (example):<editWidget type="TextEdit

I'm using Python Caller with the module ifcopenshell to validate properties and naming of Ifc entities.To do this im also using an excel file that lists the requirements, and the script is now dynamically creating attributes based on the excel file. My challenge is that i want to write a excel file with the results, but i dont want to manually decide wich attributes to expose so the reader can access them.Is it even possible?

I have been working with the following workflow:Bufferer to buffer the buildings with 50 meterClipper to clip the vegetation to the buffersSpatial filter where "BuildingBuffers OGC-Contains Vegetation". The vegetation is the candidate.Area calculator of the resulting areasStatistic Calculator to sum the calculated vegetation area for each building ID. The result is missing data for many of the building buffers. I think one problem is that the vegetetad areas only are counted once, while in reality they can be included in many of the building buffers. Do you have any advice? 

I have points contained by polygons. I want to buffer these with a spesific buffer of 2500 square meters. And I want these buffers to not cross or expand outside of the polygon. I need apply this to a lot of points with a single operation.The polygons look like this (there are hundreds in the project), and you can see the points inside:This is how I want it to look (the shape of the buffer is customized to the polygon): I got some help help here previously:

I have already included the network network utility package xsd file from github and followed the import instructions but now I do not know how to map the shapefiles to this network utility ADE in FME. The ultimate goal is to include this heating network system in my citygml model in cesium (3D tiles). Currently the cityGML is without the heating system

I have two seperate features classes - holes and polygons. I simply want to merge them with disolve by grouping by a certain id. However output has lines at the border of the holes. How can i get rid of them? Holes are brown and Polygons are pink in the picsAfter dissolve This is before dissolve

Hi All, I'm working on a workflow to identify if lines are perpendicular and running in parallel. Below screenshots shows what I'm trying to achieve: Line A and B should run in parallel and have the same YLine A should have the X for start/end to be perpendicularLine B should have the X for start/end to be perpendicular  I have put this workflow together and create a QA tool to flag the issues (not perpendicular and not parallel) but can't find the workaround: Any idea how to get this done? Thanks 🙂

Can FME create a pg database tables with attribute names that have upper cases? I know that this is possible in postgres - column names are case-sensitive when double-quoted. But no matter which parameters of PostgreSQL writer I select (standard/dynamic writing, with checked or unchecked option to Lowe Case Attribute Names in Table Creation Parameter), FME keeps replacing double-quotes with underscores and output is always folded to lowercase.  Is it something that can be bypassed? 

Hi All, I'm running a workbench that worked fine in my last FME ('22 now running '23) on the same files. These are the errors I'm getting below - I'm thinking this could be something with the new FME and coordinate systems?  Any thoughts are appreciated. Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being output and recorded on all output ports regardless of whether or not there is a connection.AutoCAD Reader: Failed to retrieve or apply texture for mesh entity.

Hi All, I'm putting a workflow together to help me QA some data and the final output will be an excel file with some fields as info, Below an example of the desired output which the header is bigger thna the normal rows and the QA QC field says pass in green and fail in red: Is this possible using the ExcelStyler or need to use the FeatureWriter? Thanks 🙂

I am sending this date, Oct-23, through the DateTimeConverter. I have set t he input format as %b-%y2099.
