FME Form

Got a situation where I would like the store attribute values, @Value(attribute_name), in some HTML code which itself is stored in a SQL table. The idea is that the @Value(attribute_name) will be different for each of our clients, sending them a personalised email based on their own data. Currently FME reads the table in and keeps everything as plain text, @Value(attribute_name) does not get replaced with the appropiate attribute value. Is there a way to get FME to recognise the attribute names in the HTML code and replace it with the appropiate attribute values? if I copy and paste the HTML code into atttributecreator then it works as expected, however we would like to manage all this in SQL server - saving us having to update the

I'm attempting to use FME to inventory folder locations for all shapefiles and file geodatabases, and all feature classes within the file geodatabases to export to an excel file. I am able to identify all shapefiles and geodatabases, and can complete what I'm attempting to do but the performance is really slow. Some background on the workbench I've made - I'm using the feature reader transformer to read the file geodatabases to identify the feature classes (Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) Reader). The workflow seems to be getting super bogged down at this transformer. I've set the parameters to read only 1 feature, but it still seems to be reading all of the features within the feature class. Is this just the nature of the transformer or is there something I'm missing that's causing the transformer to still read all of the features? I've attached a picture of the feature reader parameters below - any suggestions are greatly

Hi, I'm trying to create a connection with my enterprise ESRI account, but only have the option to enter a username and password, when I can only connect to this account via SSO. Any idea how to work around this? I have set up a web connection to my ESRI account but it doesn't automatically connect to the map service through this.

I have two layers point and a polygon, I wanted to have the aggregate of a column name "Progress" with its respective polygon name and polygon id. The progress field in the point layer has the values namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . The count is the total number of points inside the polygon.  The result should be like this   I have currently done this process in FME The result is How to change the workbench to attain the desired result. Any leads will be helpful. Thank you. 

Hi, i have a problem where most of a large number of point clouds are missing the first number of the gps_time attribute, so "367091181.0231084" should be "1367091181.0231084". It is always a 1 that is missing at the start.What would be the best way to go about changing this attribute for every point in every pointcloud?The context for this is that the point clouds are data from lidar mobile mapping and need to be matched using the gps_time with trajectories in another software.Any help would be much appreciated.

FME(R) 2023.1.1.1 (20231011 - Build 23636 - WIN64) Hello As stated in the subject line, the Feature Caching icons can be seen in the "Main" tab but not showing in the "Custom Transformer" Tab at all. However the features are cached. So I think they are just missing.   ThanksSameer

Hi, I need help and guidance. I have 2 questions. 1st. I've been using the GeometryValidator transformer and selected the OGC standard checks. When I run it, all my geometry fails. How can I check what is failing and how to fix it? If possible, please provide an example of how to fix it. 2nd. I've read the OGC Geopackage standard and found that there are some tables that need to be included in the Geopackage file, such as gpkg_spatial_ref_sys and gpkg_contents Table. Is there an automatic way in FME to create these tables, or do I need to do it manually? Hereby, I am attaching the file for your reference, tqvm all.

Hello, I would like to prioritize a layer using the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer, is it possible ?Thanks

Dear All, I am experencing the following problem on FME (FME Desktop 2022.1.0.0 - Build 22618 - WIN64)  : when I work with PythonCaller, my workspaces randomly crash. For example, starting from empty workspace, I add a Creator followed by a PythonCaller ; run to the PythonCaller -> it works fine ; I add "import arcpy" in the PythonCaller and run -> it works ; I add "print("hello")" in any function of the FeatureProcessor class -> it crashes. Also, the crashes happen in an unpredictable way : sometimes, it crashes after having inserted "import arcpy" ; sometimes I can add 2-3 five more lines in the function of the FeatureProcessor and it works and then after 1 more line it crashes. By crashing, I mean the following : after clicking "run", the mouse cursor takes the form of a blue waiting circle during a few seconds and the window suddenly closes -> when it crashes, it seems that the trans

Hi, I want to amalgamate polygons from a map of natural environments to distribute it on a larger scale (1:5000 to 1:25000). For this I used the AreaAmalgamator tool with the settings that can be seen in the photo. I have 12193 objet in total. However, the software has been running for 10 hours and nothing is happening. Has anyone ever had this situation? 

For instance, one 58 unit apartment results in 17 rows with variously 1-24 units added together. We can't explain why this is happening but need to fix it. Have also tried adding a dupliate filter and another aggregator but this didn't work. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Is there a way of validating that the data contained in an attribute is valid based on a table of values?I know I can use a CSV list in a tester with 'in'. But my table of preset values is 4-500 entries long, and has the possibility of change, is there a way of comparing directly to this table, or using the table to populate the CSV value (maybe through a parameter?) automatically?

Hi,I'm trying to convert a DGN file wiht mixed geometries: most of them are read by FME; but not all. It seems like the geometrytype "smart solid/surfaces" isn't read by FME Desktop at all? Is it possible to read those geometrytypes? We really need them ;-)Added this message are pictures of the same file showed in MicroStation and in FME Desktop. Also added is the DGN file.

 I have used @PadLeft(@Format(%.3f,@Value(FLOW)), 8) in an earlier attribute manager in the workspace to format the values to three decimal places and pad left. My output data and workspace are as shown below:

I'm trying to clip out 'curves' from a polyline. I have a 2 layers, a polyline layer and a point layer. The point layer has a "point type" attribute that states if the point is "Tangent-to-Curve", i.e. the beginning of the curve, or "Curve-to-Tangent", i.e. the end of the curve. There is a one-to-one relationship between "Tangent-to-Curve" and "Curve-to-Tangent" points.  The issue is that the "Tangent-to-curve" and "curve-to-tangent" points don't have a shared id to link them.  My polyline layer does have measure values, which might be of use.

I have polyline data representing roads and point data representing mile markers. The points are on the line, so PointOnLineOverlayer does segment the line as expected. The point data has a Measure value that I want to use on the line, how do I set the measure value of the points to the lines?

Hello everyone, I'm working on creating a Geopackage, and I've added a new table (feature type) to indicate the relationship between several other tables. How can I add features to this table without taking the original feature type or feature from the reader.

Now that LDAP/Active Directory reader have been put on the deprecation list in FME 2023, I'm trying to find an out of the box solution in FME to update my workbenches and continue using it.  

I am writing a shutdown script to logg a workbench result to a postgres database.To log the output location of a gpkg file I am fetching a public parameter like so fme.macroValues['dest_path']But i get some weird formatting where backslash etc ar written as verbose text instead of the actual path? How can I get the actual path? C:<backslash>Users<backslash>User<backslash>Documents<backslash>FME_proj<backslash>20230913_FME<backslash>WIP<solidus>output<backslash>myoutput.gpkg 

My input attributes have numeric or string values, with possible empty string values.I would like to replace empty string values with Null. When I use the option "Substitute Missing, Null and Empty by: Default Value", and set "Default Value: <null>", nothing happens. The values remain unchanged (with empty string values). I can get the desired result with the help of "Action:Set Value" and Value: Conditional Value -> If ATTRIBUTE IS EMPTY -> Value <null>". I know I can use the Null Attribute Mapper transformer, and the Set Conditional Value method above, but using the"Substitute Missing, Null and Empty by: Default Value" option seems the most elegant to me. Have I misunderstood the purpose of "Substitute Missing, Null and Empty by: Default Value" or am I using it the wrong way?

I have a routine to be done once a quarter-year or maximun a month. There is some major file downloading and processing that was managed by parallel workspace runner in Form (Desktop). I need to deploy the same routine on FME Flow, but I need to take advantage of parallel processing. As I understood I can't process multiple simultaneous jobs with one engine.So I have tried combining it with FME Form WorkspaceRunner that actually works, but somehow can't pass the DB connection from Flow job to Form workspace. Is there a way to pass the connection from Flow job to WSRunner other than embedding the connection and so creating a workspace for every DB connection?

Hi,I have been asked if FME can retrieve signal data from a site with no API. I have credentials to get into the site, and once in I can pass a list of site ids to a url to retrieve a csv file of the data.I'm having issues passing my credentials in the header of the HTTPCaller as UserName and Password to get past the login page. Any idea if this is possible? This is the site in question:https://www.detecdatapro2.com/login

Hello ,i have some points at the same line each two point has the same attribute .i would like to connect each point that has same id together So I think I can use line builder with group by id .how but how to connect each two point without the line intersect with other points ? as my phone , point 1 and point 4 has the same id but if I connect 1 and 4 together so it will create line intersect or overlap on other line between 2 and 3 2 ,3 has same id 1,4 has same id what should I do to create line between 1,4 and other between 2,3 ? The line should cross but not intersect because I would like to use network topology calculator later . fme 2021  

I am using the attribute validator to test a list of pavement marking line marking types coming from a AutoDesk SDF. The validator is throwing false errors when I use the "In" ValidationThe list of values in the rule configuration are: Broken 1-1,Broken 1-8,Broken 3-3,Broken 3-6,Broken 3-9,Double Solid,Simultaneous Solid/Brkn-1,Simultaneous Solid/Brkn-2,SolidEverytime I run my workbench Broken 3-3 is reported as an error even though I've verified that the spelling is correct.I've also tried subbing out the commas with double quotes and it doesn't seem to work either. 

Hello all, I frequently used the FeatureMerger or FeatureJoiner transformers. However, none of them seem to offer a join based on an expression, such as checking if a value from one table contains a value from another table. How can this be achieved? Thanks for any assistance.
