FME Form

I am working with a workbench that was authored close to 15 years ago. We had to change out the SDE Readers that are pulling in our GIS features. Since changing the reader the text be written to the DGN is coming out in different sizes. I have checked the output in the inspector and although the text is visually different the idgs_text_size attribute is consistent. I have tried to override this with the DGN styler but there is something else going on. Any ideas on how to either assess or fix this would be greatly appreciated. 

Dear,I have a folder with 2208 xml files, approx. 30 GB. I read these files using a File Path Reader followed by an XML reader. From these files I select some features and save them locally. However, with my 16 GB RAM I run into memory issues. I already reduced the amount of data as much as possible within my workbench but still its not enough.Is there a method I read first 10 xml files – process them – save the outcome and go to the next 10 files, like a loop? My second question is whether it will safe memory in case I use a fanout expression or just write one final dataset with the results.My version is: FME 2023.2.1

I keep finding more and more areas where AI can enhance or simplify FME workflows. Just another example - we can ask the OpenAI API to give us expressions for RasterExpressionEvaluator and with the latest beta of FME 2024.1 (sorry, not publicly available yet), we can take the expressions from attributes. We can, for example, color a DEM by elevation. Do you want to see what AI can write for us? This is one of three expressions needed for coloring of multiple elevation intervals of the DEM. Good luck finding errors 🤣:if(A[0] <= 110, if(A[0] <= 22, 0, if(A[0] <= 44, 29, if(A[0] <= 66, 58, if(A[0] <= 88, 87, 116)))), if(A[0] <= 332, if(A[0] <= 154, 144, if(A[0] <= 220, 173, if(A[0] <= 276, 202, if(A[0] <= 332, 231, 255)))), if(A[0] <= 554, if(A[0] <= 388, 238, if(A[0] <= 442, 209, if(A[0] <= 498, 180, if(A[0] <= 554, 151, 122)))), if(A[0] <= 776, if(A[0] <= 610, 255, if(A[0] <= 664, 226, if(A[0] <= 720, 197, if(A[0] <= 776, 168,

I'm migrating records from one Salesforce org to another org using FME Form. But during the translation, some of my records are passed and some are failed. Though some of the records are failed to migrate, it shows a successful translation message in translation log window. I know the number of records that are passed and failed. But the problem I'm dealing is occurring while sending email. I want to send the number of total records, passed records, failed records and along with the failed records it should also show the error that why those records failed to migrate. How can I show this information in email?

Hello,I have encountered a problem, and I hope someone can provide guidance. I need to extract segments of a gable roof. I have attached a picture that illustrates my input data, which consists of polygons indicating the gable roof among other roofs in a digital orthophoto.I have utilized the CenterLineReplacer tool, which yielded satisfactory outcomes in most cases. However, I am experiencing difficulties in situations depicted in the image below (the line should be in a different direction): Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi FME people,When creating a reader or writer, our typical procedure involves selecting an SDE database connection, such as SDE.EDIT.R. Following this selection, we establish a link to a deployment parameter, assigning it a local value. In this scenario, the local value corresponds to the database connection SDE.EDIT.R.    This works well, except when we try ‘view source data’ or ‘view written data.  The connection is set to the deployment parameter but the local value is not used instead.Anyone who is experiencing the same thing? We use:FME Form: 2023.2.2FME Flow: 2023.2.2Thanks a lot,Francis

 Hi all, I seem to be getting a strange error when trying to attach an image from a feature layer in AGOL to Cityworks using the HTTP caller. My goal is to download and upload each unique image from the AGOL feature layer and attach it to the correct Work Order (i.e. picture of stop sign for sign work order, picture of a pothole for a pothole worker). My workflows is as follows, read in the AGOL feature layer, save each image using the AttributeFileWritter, create the work order, attach the image using the HTTP Caller. The error occurs when I try to upload the image will using a variable name in the output PATH + .jpeg extension. When I explicitly set the image in the file upload, it runs no problem. However when I use the variable name in the path I get a “ HTTPCaller_2 (HTTPFactory): [11]: HTTP transfer error: HTTP/FTP Transfer: Failed to open file 'C:\Path\To\Documents\WorkOrder_Pictures\.jpeg' for resource upload”.  Here is my Cityworks API callI write the image to a folder using a

My workbench creates a number of excel spreadsheets. Sometimes it fails due to users having one of the spreadsheets open when the workbench runs during the night. Though that spreadsheet cannot be updated due to the lock, it would be very useful to still be able to update the other spreadsheets rather than the entire workbench stopping completely.Can a writer error be bypassed or ignored?

Hello everyoneI hope someone can help me. I try to convert an INTERLIS (Switzerland specific dataformat) into a File-Geodatabase and got always the same error message: Could not create the File Geodatabase 'C:\Users\Documents\IBI INTERLIS\Test\ibi_saxeten.gdb'. A possible reason is that you may not have permission to create the Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220902'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {} Could anyone explain to me what this error message means, because I have literally no idea what causes this problem. Thanks a lot and have a nice week :) 

Hi,I’ve got a strange issue.I am using a FeatureMerger to match values from a lookup table.Then I use a DuplicateFilter to check that all the terms from the lookup table are used. And strangely, with certain non ASCII caracters, there are duplicates coming out the Unique port ! Another strange thing is that these duplicates in Unique port dont appear when I check for duplicates immediately on the lookup table.So what happens in the FeatureMerger that makes the DuplicateFilter dysfunction ? Here’s what the Excel lookup table looks like. When I replace the non ASCII caracter, the problem doesn’t appear.What to do ? 

Hi allDoes anyone have experience in using Google Earth Engine (GEE) in FME Desktop (I work with FME 2023.2)? I would like to access some remote sensing data in FME, process it and combine it with other data.I found out that the transformer “PythonCaller” could be used to integrate some Python code in FME. GEE advice to use the package ee/geemap for formulating requests to the engine. Accessing the GEE via Jupyter Notebook does work, but I’d rather integrate the processing in FME.Thanks for any help/advices.

 I have a workflow that takes a file in input , does a conversion , then outputs the converted file.I published this workflow to fme flow . and i want to use it to in my simple node js project : simply : the user clicks on “Choose an input File” , and chooses the file he wants to convert ; and after clicking on “Convert and download result!” , his file should get uploaded to my fme server , the workflow gets applied on it , and the resulted file gets downloaded to the users computer.  And I don’t know how to apply the workflow on the file that the user chooses , because the filepath of the reader dataset is static , and can be changed only manually in the fme flow web interface ;​​

Hello FME Community,I'm currently working on a project that involves a large number of subdomains and domains, and I have my data available in table format. I'm looking for guidance on how to organize this data into a geodatabase (GDB) using FME, while adhering to domain conventions.Specifically, I would like to know:How can I create subdomains within a GDB using FME? What steps are involved in defining domains for attributes within the GDB? Are there any best practices or recommended workflows for organizing subdomains and domains efficiently?Any insights, tips, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards,Vishnu N V

 Hello,  I am updating an existing AGOL Hosted Feature Service with changes in a File Geodatabase. The workbench in the screenshot is what I am using. The Feature Service updates no issues, and it does update the feature service. But I have a question:When I add 1 new feature in the file gdb (Updated FGDB Feature Class Bookmark in screenshot), I run the workbench and in the ChangeDetector it shows 1 record Inserted and 238 records updated for a total of 239 records; The only change I made was to add 1 new feature (which I expect to be in Inserted), but why would there be 238 records in Updated in the ChangeDetector when I only Inserted a single record and Updated zero records, should these 238 “Updated” records be in Unchanged?I then reran the workbench it showed 239 records in Updated (which includes the one I added in the 1st run), but I Updated zero records so I would assume these 239 records should be in Unchanged?  The ChangeDetector Parameters I am using is in the screenshot. 

Greets,  Any idea to cut the polygons in the layer 2 based on the polygons in layer 1 in the same shape and close or same ratio of cutting , please note that there is a shifting between tow layers.or move the polygons in layer 1 to match the location of polygons (based on corners) in layer2    

Hello everyone,I'm facing a challenge in processing data in Excel and I'm seeking assistance. I need a method to search in one Excel table for entries that contain values from another Excel table and then create a new table with the found entries.Specifically, I want to search an Excel table (Table A; 8 collumns) for certain keywords. These keywords are located in a separate Excel table (Table B; 1collumn). When any of the keywords are found in Table A, I'd like to create a new table with these entries.I would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or examples that could help me solve this issue.Thank you very much in advance for your help!
