Boreholes. Im trying to find a transformer that constructs the end points in a dataset with boreholes. The boreholes have all necessary attributes: Z, Azimuth, angle and length. Is there a transformer that does the it or something I have to build? cheers

I have a list of lists resembling this structure:sublists = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] When I try to set this "list of lists" into a list attribute I get the following:code - feature.setAttribute('chunkList{}', sublists) error - Python Exception <TypeError>: Could not convert attribute value to a supported attribute type.Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 95, in inputTypeError: Could not convert attribute value to a supported attribute type.Error encountered while calling method `input'PythonCaller_Get_chunkList (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature The goal is to have a list of 1000 unique IDs or less to feed into a readerI do not know how many lists there will be ahead of time so I need to dynamically break out the lists into individual lists of 1000 elements later in the workflow which is why I want 1 list of lists to start with.   

Hello everyone,I have produced a dataset in oracle. I can't display those data in ArcMap because of the issue "the number of points is less than required for feature".After reading several posts, I now understand that the issue come from the esri grid (toleand and precision) which snap point and this snapping process when displaying data in esri create some geometric issues like self-intersections that were not in oracle.I thought of writing to a temporary geodatase. However, after importing the feature from the geodabase to oracle, I still face the same issue. Because, it is an esri issue, the geometry validator is not able to detect them. However, there used to be a transformer called ArcSDEGridSnapper which is now deprecated.  How could I replicated the ARcGRidSnapper function in my workbench in order to identify and exclude (or repair) the features that will cause geometric issues in ESRI? 

Hi, I'm trying to read PDFs and it looks like each character of each word is represented as individual features. Each PDF has thousands of these text features that I need to combine to make words. I'm stumped as to how to string these single character text features together to create words.  I have attached an example below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,  is it possible to read geometry from Sqlite in FME 2023? In FME 2022 I was using SQLite Spatial (GDAL) (deprecated), but I'm missing this format in the new version. Thank you.

Good morning. I'm writing this question to see if someone can provide a new idea! I saw couple blogs talking about, but without good result.I am trying to generate an atlas, given an Oracle database, of different files, each one with its ID, generating a PDF file for each one.The problem appears when adding a common image, such as a logo. If it comes from a reader, when doing a "fanout" on the writer, how it detects that it does not have an ID generates a file separate from the others, with the common information.After trying with a cloner, feature merger, or adding an attribute that is the path to the image for each record, I cannot get it to be seen (I can show that the path is physically written).Any ideas? Thank you so much!

Hello. I have a question. In "list_of_fixes" I have a list of track points and some of the tracks have more than 75 points. For tracks that have a higher number of points, I would need to filter and shorten to 75 points. The reduction in the number of points should be from the center to both sides. This means if I have, for example, 81 track points, I will delete 3 points from each end of the list. In the attachment I am sending fmwt, where the list is visible. Some ideas? Thank you very much

Hi everyone,  I have a dwg with autocad blocks which has several layers of polygons, polylines and annotation. I have a workspace to extract and convert these to shapefiles.  The problem I have is that multipart polygons and polylines are being split by the FME reader. When opened with ArcMap or Autodesk TrueView, the multiparts appear correctly. I have tried to play around with the parameters of the dwg reader (entity option/advanced options...but everything I have tried so far has not worked and some of the settings read far fewer components than needed).  Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance! :)

Hello everyone -  We are migrating from on-prem to Azure. Its lift/shift approach. The machine name is not going to change, but MAC address will change. We can't really get a MAC address before we move the machine. I have below questions. Can we directly edit the current license file with the new MAC address after we have moved to new server ?Does the licencing software supports TWO Network adapters setup. ( two NICs). If its supported, then we can do the below. Is the license server smart enough to detect there are NIC#1 and NIC#2 and that the MAC address of NIC#2 is the correct old address and hence the existing license is valid? We can lift-and-shift the PRD-XXXXX-01 server with the existing license. This will create by default a NIC#1 with the new MAC address.We can then attach a second NIC, NIC#2, to this migrated VM and overwrite its MAC address with the old existing on-prem MAC address.How long does it take if we request for license via - https://engage.safe.com/activation/f

I have been googling/trying to read about it but I dont seem to understand it too well. I dunno if I am trying to do something I cant. I am trying to use the UK Gov website (https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-council-tax-band/search) to search for council tax bands with a list of post codes. But the box to search the postcode sends the request and it appears to encrypt the postcode in the URL. Would it be possible to make it fill in this box and hit search? Appreciate any help as I am completely out of the loop here, never used the HTTP part of FME much. Cheers Also apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place!

FME Quick Translator 2023.1.1を使用して、CitygmlをIMXに変換したいのですが、エラーになります。原因と解決策をご教授頂けると幸いです。

Here is my use case: I have created a workflow that works well and can handle multiple files. However, when I publish this workflow to FME Flow, I have the following problem when I copy and paste multiple files at once: Copy and paste two files at once.The resource or network directory sees the change and triggers the same workflow twice (see https://community.safe.com/s/article/Do-the-Directory-modified-Automation-triggers-support-single-events-for-multiple-file-datasets)The first workflow runs fine and writes all my data to a databaseThe second workflow (which is the same, just triggered a few milliseconds later) fails because of a "UNIQE KEY constraint violation". This is a bit annoying and I am looking for another solution. Maybe if I can run the workflow file by file. But how is this possible with FME Flow? Does anyone have a recommendation on how to solve this problem?*****************Update, 2023-10-26How to proceed, if FME Flow should process the files in a defined or

I have a input data file with a unique ID (BORRHAL_NR) with 2 variables (Date/Granvattenniva). I am using a python caller in a CT to generate a chart with matplotlib. I would like to produce as many charts as unique IDs, and I am using the group by in the custom transformer but even though it produces in this case 4 charts I see that is using all data from all unique IDs in those charts (except for the first one that is actually correct).Any ideas?I am using FME 2022.2.4. (Build 22792)

The webpage titled, "Efficiently Convert ArcSDE to GDB" doesn't provide documentation on how to do that. Is there a tutorial or documentation somewhere on how to convert ArcSDE to a File geodatabase?  

I see in the documentation that this is possible (I.E. setting a value in SchemaMapper using a built in FME function). But I sure can't figure it out. Does anyone have an example, or can they please point me in the direction of an example? Thank you.

I used points geometry to create my .shp file. I got the visual preview from the read file. But after extruding, I am not getting anything and it's not showing any error. I want to create 3d cesium tiles.

Since they use different parameter settings, can we have both of them established in the same FME Form? I am having issues while trying to establish the connections.

Hi there, I have a whole lot of OBJ's of course they don't have any coordinate system, but they are tiled, so the first is 0,0 the second is 100,0 etc. I want to move these obj's around the world, I thought to just use an offsetter, but it scales the OBJ down.In ArcGIS PRO I can just move this over the map, and I hoped that the offsetter did something similar.I guess this has something to do with the world not being flat, but is there an easy fix for this, or even a hard fix. I really don't care which coordinate system, I can always reproject it. Thanks :-)

In my workspace, I have an FTPCaller Transformer that uploads (copies) files from a folder to an ftp site.  Next step is I want to delete all the pdf files in the source folder from where all the pdf files were copied to the ftp site. I have tried attaching this solution (File Copy - DELETE (safe.com)) after the FTPCaller but the files are not deleted, besides it seems to only delete a single named file. Does not seem to handle wildcards like *.pdf. I also tried FileDeleter FME Hub (safe.com) and it not only did not delete the files, but I was reading it does not work in FME Flow, and I plan to upload my workspace to FME Flow and run it on an incremental schedule.  Should I create a separate workspace that just deletes all the pdf files in the folder and run it after the files are copied to the ftp site? In essence, what is the best way to delete *.pdf files in a folder?  

Does anyone have a solution how I can decode a Bearer Token?

Hi, I am struggling with one simple task that is extracting information from wms and saving it as geotiff. 1. I would like to use HTTPCaller and ImageFeather to extract geotiffs from wms service https://environment.data.gov.uk/spatialdata/lidar-composite-digital-terrain-model-dtm-1m-2022/wms 2 The URL of the wms should include BBOX=527389,177252,534694,181976&WIDTH=3000&HEIGHT=3000 to minimise the time to read the data 3. The geotiffs should be saved in Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset) Thank you for any help

I encountered a challenge with writing to Excel using a template in FME. Despite setting it up correctly, FME wasn't reading the Excel template sheet. This issue persisted in FME 2020 but seemed to be temporary solved in the 2022 and 2023 versions.Progress Made:Identified a Excel plugin we use at work in Excel as a potential cause.Our IT support thinks the windows update for Excell 2023 is the probably reasonExplored potential reasons like multiple Python versions, recent Windows updates, and potential conflicts in the .xlsx files. However I dont want to uninstall my python versions due to other development projects. Cant uninstall windows updates since its restricted due to company policyReinstalled FME to overwrite any potentially corrupted files without success.Various troubleshooting attempts: rebooting, re-saving the FME workspace, re-saving the .xlsx save to 2007 xls template, etc.Upon uninstalling the excel plugin, FME 2022 and 2023 began working normally, but the issue pers
