FME Form

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 🙂

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. The DateTimeConverter is failing to parse the date with the message "Attribute(string: UTF-8)         : `fme_expression_warnings{0}.message' has value `Failed to evaluate expression '@DateTimeParse(Oct-23,%b-%y2099,repair)'. Result is set to null'". What am I doing wrong? I have attached a sample project that demonstrates the failure.My FME Form version is FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64). https://docs.safe.com/fme/2023.1/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/!Transformer_Parameters/Date-Time-Functions.htm#Format

Hi how can I include the following api curl post in an http caller? curl -X 'POST' \\ 'https://<a domain>/upload' \\ -H 'accept: text/html' \\ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <a password>' \\ -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \\ -F 'filter=<a textstring>' \\ -F 'file=@<a filename>' \\ -F 'adddata=false' \\ -F 'type='  

Hello I'm currently transforming a GeoTiff in a point raster using centerpointreplacer. I have a grid of points every 100m.The next step is to add 8 attributes for the 8 neighbours (or less if the point is on a border) and in each attribute set the slope from this point to the neighbor [in %].I have z values for each point, I don't know how to get the distance between 2 points and how to add the attributes according to the neighbors.Maximum distance for neighbors: @sqrt($(Resolution)^2 + $(Resolution)^2) * 1.1  Thanks,Antoine

The second image represents the two input layers. It is possible to see that there are shifts between the layers. Following the AreaOnAreaOverlayer (fig. 2), “intermediate” polygons are created. I performed a TestFilter to identify polygons <= 1. Now, I would like to dissolve polygons less than or equal to 1 on the rest of the polygons according to a specific attribute (OBJECTID_CAD). Indeed, I would like to respect as much as possible the geometry of one of the two layers (which was created by surveyors).

Hi  I am setting up a job to update data in AGOL using FME Desktop 2020.2.3 I am aiming to have a single job which I will publish to our FME Server to refresh the data on schedule.  I have multiple Feature Services to update and am hoping to use a single Feature Writer to update them.  In my workspace I generate the Service ID and am passing through to the Feature Writer Feature Service constraint parameter. This works successfully when the Feature Writer only updates a single Feature Service however when I try multiple it cannot find the Feature Service, it seems to still connect to the first. The log shows that it maintains a connection to the first Feature Service and does not switch to the second. 

I have a column of health conditions for individual patients.Often patients have multiple health conditions. If they have more than one, then the conditions are seperated by a ; (Some patients have up to 5 separate conditions)I need to find out how often individual health conditions feature. ie how many times is "Arthritis" listed as one of the health conditions? I've used the Attribute Splitter, using the ; as the delimiter. This creates a list of the health conditions, I've named the list "Health_Conditions". I now want to find out the number of times each health condition appears in the list / exposed values of the list. ie how many times does eg "Arthritis" appear? And how many times does "Diabetes" appear?  Note: From the screen shots below you can see health conditions can appear in any of the exposed value lists{} I've tried Statistics Calculator, C

Hi,I would like to be able to read the name of the layers from AGOL that are shared with the same group. ArcGISOnlineConnector reads only the genaral name.

Hi,When using a 'File/Folder/URL' public parameter inside a GroupBox with Conditional Visibility of the user parameters, it doesn't seem to enable file upload within a published FlowApp. When you're editing the Workspace App in Flow the expected behaviour is working with a display window which allows you to upload a file. Also when running the workspace in Flow it works. Only doesn't work in a published app. Is this a known issue of FME Flow 2023.1.2 and Form 2023.1.2.0?Previous post and reply by Kelvin Jenkins seem to highlight this. Thanks.

Hi I need to reproject from EPSG 7791 to wgs84 but I received an error I use data interoperabilit 3.2 with reprojector engine ESRI can you help please ? thx Francesco   

I have a bunch of attributes that I want outputted into a list on a pdf. What's the way to achieve this? Somewhat stumped. Thanks!

Hi all, Is it possible to add a generated histogram to HTML? I was going to output as a PNG also but wanted to export within an HTML dashboard. Doesn't seem like it is going to work based on the options of linked or from an already exported image.  Thank you!

Hi all,I am just wondering if someone can assist or provide pointers on how to generate a navigation tree in FME writing to a GeoJSON file, to be opened in arcGIS pro. My input/reader file is a CSV. For example, in the arcGIS navigation tree, data of types of poles should present as follows: Pole-> Steel->->Blue->->-> Pole A->->-> Pole B->->-> Pole C-> Plastics->-> Blue->->-> Pole D->-> Red->->-> Pole E

what is the easiest way to automate adding previously created domains to a new FGDB in FME ? or is it possible to manually recreate them in AttributeManager (similar to how you can create alias') ? similar to how it is in ARCPRO show below 

Hi, I can read an arcgis online feature service using fme AGO reader. The globalids all have a curly brackets in the inspector. Is there a way to write the feature to a new table without the curly brackets. Curly brackets are messing things up when using globalids in url links. thanks

Hi all, I want to save a step in my workspace by using AttributeManager to generate an ESRI Global ID (aka, a UUID with "{}" in the string value) with the @UUID() function. I do this with the @TImestamp() function, but I don't quite understand the syntax...  @UUID(SIMPLE,UUID_FORMAT,[GLOBAL_ID|UUID_ONLY])  I've tried a bunch of different options, but how would I skip the "SIMPLE,UUID_FORMAT," options? All I want to stipulate is the GLOBAL_ID option.... thanks!

I'm trying to draw a box given four vertex creators, I couldn't get the polygon section to work from line builder - any tips on making this more efficient, I feel like four line builders is not the most elegant solution (although it works.) Thank you. 

Hi all, I have a dataset (CSV) of different types of trees (type, colour, flower, etc) and I want to open this dataset in ArcGIS Pro. I want it to have a navigation tree and a heatmap based on dense areas.  I am new to FME and wondering how I do this and what the best output file format is for the structure I am wanting? I am struggling to find any direction of approach to this specifically. I have done similar in KML with Google Earth, although couldn't implement a heat map, and it is slow with my dataset.

Also is there any article to show step by step process for converting from IFC to geodaabase that can be used in arcgis pro

I frequently use Form/Desktop to grab data from SDE or from Geodatabases.  Creating the reader(s) is pretty easy. Load the dialogue, point at the connection file, load the list and select your feature class, and then press ok. This brings in the tables and features just fine. However, it seems like it never fails that I need to bring in another table or feature class from the same connection. If I save and close the workbench, I have to start the reader dialogue again. When I bring in another feature class or table, the new table also shows up as a different connection in the navigator pane. It makes troubleshooting a little harder when I have several different readers in the navigator that ultimately point to the same database or folder.  Is there a way to reuse the existing connections? The navigator and the properties don't have a way where to "double click" into the connection and add another table or feature class to the c

From my testing, when reading data that is branch versioned from an ArcGIS Enterprise Feature Layer, it seems there is a limitation on the FME Reader side as to how many layers can be in the ArcGIS Feature Service. For example, if I publish a service which has one layer, the FME reader can read successfully. But, if I publish as service which has multiple layers, the FME Reader reads the schema, but fails to read features.  Are there any known requirements or limitations in FME readers and writers when connecting to branch versioned ArcGIS Enterprise Feature Layers? Has anyone else seen this behavior? If so, what workarounds do you use? I would like to avoid having mulitple published services for a logical grouping of data. Thanks in advance! 

Hi,When working with visibility of published parameters through conditions in Form, is it possible to have multiple test clauses for a parameter?Similar to the Test transformer with logic "if", "or".Thanks!

If I run each reader individually (one-at-a-time) then I get correct output from each of the readers. If I choose 'Run Entire Workspace' then one reader only processes one record and the other reader processes normally. All feature classes are in the same file geodatabase. Any ideas why 'Run Entire Workspace' doesn't give the expected results?Thank you.
