FME Form

Hey Everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently working on a project involving data center integration, and I've run into a bit of a snag. I'm using FME to handle spatial data transformations, and I'm encountering challenges in seamlessly integrating data from various sources within our data center. Specifically, I'm dealing with issues related to data format conversions, data quality assurance, and ensuring smooth interoperability between different systems within the data center. I believe some of you may have experience with similar scenarios or could provide valuable insights. Here are a few points I'm struggling with:Data Format Conversions: How do you efficiently handle conversions between different data formats within the context of a data center using FME?Quality Assurance: What are your best practices for ensuring data quality as it moves through various stages of the integration process? Any FME transformers or workflows you recommend?In

(This is a spin of question from https://community.safe.com/s/feed/0D5OO000004YH4O0AW, but I thought it made sense to rephrase the question) I am trying to run a shell script from SystemCaller but for some weird reason I can not make it work.  My command line is: cd "/Volumes/disc1/test_systemcaller/" && my_script.sh 25 5The numbers at the end are parameters for the script. The error I get from the log file is:sh: my_script.sh: command not foundThe file 'my_script.sh' is placed in the actual folder, so should be found.If I test the file path by asking it to do something simple, eg mkdir, it will happily do so in the right place.If I run the command from Terminal it works fine.  I made a second script in the folder with a mkdir just for testing. While it works fine in Terminal, FME claims to know nothing about it. Since system caller cant find the script file, even though it is in the folder, I guess that something might be wrong with my syntax? I'm on a Mac if that matters. 

My fmw is saved in a directory called C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks. A parameter called InputFolder is pointing to a subfolder of this directory. Is it possible not to use FME MF DIR predefined parameter ? I use a text parameter to point to C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks\\DEV but the script is replacing it automatically by "$(FME_MF_DIR_USERTYPED)DEV" when executing which translates to C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks/DEV . I am using a python script later and python is every sensitive to / and \\ . How can I force FME to use C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks\\DEV instead of $(FME_MF_DIR_USERTYPED)DEV (translating to C:\\DATA\\VariousTasks/DEV) ?

Hello! I would like to create LOD2 buildings, but somehow, my files don't show their own citygml relations between parent_id and gml_id. Could you find me some errors in my workflow? I created gml_parent_id as a field already. eg.)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><core:CityModel xmlns:brid="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/bridge/2.0" xmlns:tran="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/transportation/2.0" xmlns:frn="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/cityfurniture/2.0" xmlns:wtr="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/waterbody/2.0" xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron" xmlns:veg="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/vegetation/2.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:tun="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/tunnel/2.0" xmlns:tex="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/texturedsurface/2.0" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:gen="http://www.opengis.net/cit

I have a workspace that takes a spreadsheet that contains these fields: And I've got that reader feeding into a FeatureReader that grabs the Source Dataset feature classes from a specified .gdb.  I would like to dynamically create a new attribute called "_description" and populate it with the values in the Feature Description column. The values that are referenced in the Feature Description column are not exposed, but I can view the values when I click on a feature in the visual preview. I've tried to use an AttributeCreator with the following parameters:However the output looks like the literal string input values, instead of dynamically grabbing the values from the feature:Is there another way I can achieve this?

I have an error connecting to older version of ArcGIS Portal (10.9.1) from latest version of FME Form/Flow (2023.2.1 b23774).

Hello, i used the topologybuilder transformer to build the topology of a network ( roads centrlines). The problem is that z values are not considered while computing intersections. So it may not produce correct results for overpasses, inderpasses....Any recommandations please. Thank you.

I have got this Geometry XML data from HTTPCaller and need to know what is next to convert it to SHP file or other ESRI formats, I tried to find an XML template for geometry and run it with XML Processor and then XMLFragmente, but I didn't get the data.

Hello - I am retrieving value from "date" field using ArcGIS portal services . It seemed to be in this datetime format ( YYYYMMDDHHMMSS like below screenshot) on UTC time. I would like to change this to local time. Please help on how this can be achieved. Tried using datetime converter, but does not seem to work . Thanks,Naveen

I am writing to MSSQL using a dynamic featureWriter. But I can not understand why it fail to write to an existing schema. Warning: Cannot find a matching schema named 'dbo.MyTable' in the known set of schemas: ''. Known schema sources are: 'MSSQL_SPATIAL_1'. Please verify writer feature type configuration Error: Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Writer: A feature has arrived with 'fme_feature_type' of dbo.MyTable, but the feature type is not recognized. Halting translationMSSQL_SPATIAL writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details. The fme_feature_type here is "MyTable". In the writer I use dbo as table Qualifier to match the existing table in my database "dbo.MyTable".What is it I am not getting? I have set the Schema Definition Name to the default option because it should use the table definition for the fme_feature_type "dbo.MyTable". I will try to prefix the Schema Definition Name with the dbo. prefi

I'm looking at some floating license logs for FME, hoping to build a reporting tool for it. What I've noticed is several cases where one user/machine checks out a number of licences in a short amount of time and check them back in after a while:I assume this is either the user starting multiple instances of one of the FME application on the same machine (or Workbench and Data Inspector) and/or using a WorkspaceRunner. Can anybody confirm that? And more importantly, does every checkout correspond to a checkin? I also assume that as long as there is at least one checkout active for a user/machine that counts as a concurrent license being used, correct?

I have two sets of address data that I'm trying to match up using the CRCDetector as described here https://community.safe.com/s/article/creating-a-unique-identifier-crccalculator. Geometry isn't a concern so there are only the 3 fields to match up but I'm getting different CRC values for things that should be the same.Some of the algorithms will give a handful of matches but no more that a couple of dozen (out of about 12,000). I've checked for trailing white spaces. What else is making it think these things are different? Thanks

I am trying to segment a line dataset at every intersection with a polygon dataset. Instead of breaking the line at the true intersection, the transformer appears to generalize the polygon first, then break the line at resulting intersections. The result is as seen in the image, in this case a dangle of about 7'. (candidate line left to right, original polygon in brown, and Intersector's drawn line from bottom left to top right. Selected blue line should end at polygon boundary.)I've tried LineOnAreaOverlayer, Intersector and Clipper with similar results. I've manipulated the coordinate systems of each dataset and changed their source type with no differences. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!  

Calendar to activate in Arcmap, selecting the date highlights all the objects corresponding to the selected date. Calendar tool to activate on demand.

Pretty simple data export, I have a reader referencing some SDE data and then a writer to a file geodatabase. But reviewing the attributes in the file geodatabase I see that the domain attributes are the codes (1,2.3, etc) not the descriptions (copper, steel, PVC, etc).Is there a way to write the domain descriptions and not codes? The same is true for the subtypes, it is writing the code (1,2,3) and not the description (tap, bend, saddle, etc).

Hi,How can I expose the information that are visible in the Properties/Source tab of feature layer

I am joining 3 tables together. There will always be a record in the first table and there may or may not be a related record in the second. If there is a related record, there may or may not be a record in the third. I always want to have the record from the first table.The relationships are as follows:Left: Table 1 primary key - Right: Table 2 foreign keyLeft: Table 2 primary key - Right: Table 3 foregin keyWhen I try and set this up using FeatureJoiner transformers, it works ok on the first, but if there is no record in the second table, it cannot join to the third as there is no left key. Is there any way to pass records with a null left key in FeatureJoiner? If I did a similar workflow in a Microsoft Access query I would still have the record from the first table. I presume I could use a FeatureMerger and pass Merged and UnmergedRequestor into the input of the next transformer. This could work ok but I do much prefer the FeatureJoinerMany thanks

Hello Community, I have a points dataset containing 17 records. Some at stacked at shared locations. Some are isolated in one location…  I need to separate this into two different streams. Stream one: all records that are at shared locations (i.e: sharing an XY co-ordinate pair)… Stream two: all records that are the only records at that location…   How is this achievable? Thanks,

Hi, I have simple workbench where outcome is saved as dynamic schema. Somehow, additional columns are added to attribute table of the feature classes in gdb. Any clue what is going on?

Hi,I was wondering if there is a way to format text that is used in the "Message" User Parameter in FME Form. There is no Text Editor available for the "Message Configuration" option and when I use the Parameter in a FME Flow App, line breaks are removed, although they show up when prompted in FME Form. Is there a way to keep line breaks?

Hello! I could make a 3D buildings with simple roof form, I got SurfaceNormal Z, so I could separate flat form roof. But I have a building with complex roof. So I want to separate the building from certain Z height, above it, it is roof and under it, it is body of the building. Do you have any Idea to get it?

Hi, I am working on translating data from numbers to phrases. I know using the String Replacer and Attribute Value Mapper is the best for this, but I am having issues when trying to map more than one value to one field.  An example would be the reason_of_given_set has multiple values, I need these values to populate with given phrases, each number represents a phrase. I provided the parameters of the transformer I am using below. I also tried creating 14 different string replacers to represent each number and each time the output shows blank at the attributes with multiple values. I am probably using the Attribute Value Mapper transformer incorrectly and its not designed to do this, or I have the parameters set incorrectly. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I have a "Directory and File Pathnames" reader that gives me a list of text files in a Windows folder. I want to pass those folder and filenames to a FeatureReader transformer and be able to read the text lines from them as output for further processing, but I can't seem to get anything out of the FeatureReader other than the results of the Directory and File Pathnames that go into it. How do I get the contents of the text files out?

Hi,I am facing an issue where wall was not rendered properly by the FME inspector as it has direction issue. I tried "SurfaceNormalExtractor" but I didn't get any information out of the transformer. Please find the screenshot. Could you please help me in this regard. Same issue was posted 6 years back https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hfTrSAI/citygml-generation Wall not render properly in FME inspector
