FME Form

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.

Hello,Is there a good approach to extrude only outer edges from top image? Images below extrudes all faces (internal as well) but am only interested in extruding (external faces). Basically thinking of top image as a building roof, altough it's a terrain and extruding to "walls". On the lowest image I used PlanarityFilter to try filter faces at bottom but doesn't feel like a good approach.Thanks.   

Hi, I have a number of points which I like to create triangle polygons from to form a sort of elevation wall. The desired way of creating them is to have the lower ground (red points) as focus. Let's say the first two points (A and B) derives from upper green points, then the third point (C) would be the closest vertical red point. Please see illustrated image and attached file. Thanks!

I try to convert the attached dataset into ESRI GeoDatabase It failed following message. But there is not duplicated fields in my datasetThanks 

The feature count is 0 after conversion from GML.There is no error. I got warning only. The attached are dataset and log

What does error message"expression: prevrealnode_->arcinfo_ != nullptr" means?

From my tests it seems apparent that the ShortestPathFinder only works correctly in 2D. The route will snap between different levels even through the network is noded correctly. Has anyone had any success applying a shortest path algorithm to a complex 3D network, for example a building containing multiple floors with overlapping routes/nodes in 2D?

I am trying to convert a custom S-57 format into a file GDB. I can upload the file if needed.

Hi All, I've had something that I've been wondering about for a while.In this example, I'm reading 11 SQL tables in using a feature reader and all of them contain a WKB column. I need to run these through a geometry replacer to assign their geometry.   I tried running them all through a single geometry replacer, and using an attribute filter to return them into their own streams, but running them all through one transformer ruins the schema. Is there anyway to return the original schema? Or do I need to create 11 different geometry replacers and keep each stream 'seperate'? I'm aware that I can define the output attribute definition for each layer but I wanted to know if there was a less 'manual way. Many thanks, Sam

I have a large GeoTIFF file (11Mb after using compressing JPEG 75% and building Paramyd 6 Level Bicubic). And then tiling it with WebMapTiler, the result is 115,851 tiles.My Workspace:FME 2023.1 takes 1h15m to complete tiling and writing it.FME 2023.2 takes so long time and uses a lot of RAM and I can't wait, I don't know how long it will take actually. Do I mistake something?Everybody help!Many thanks. 

In my network I have multiple closures (Green Circles). Downstream from these closures I have risers (Blue Circles). I also have multiple boundaries (Red Polygons) which contain an x number of risers.  I need to calculate within each boundary which is the first riser that the cable hits after the closure. I need to mark these risers as value = 1 in each boundary as shown in illustration. Ive got as far as using a shortest path finder to try navigate to each of my Risers from each of my Closures but without much success Does anyone has any guidance on what method I can use to determine this?

I have installed FME Form 2023 on a virtual machine and when I try to run FME Workbench via a Remote Desktop session, the Workbench's main window does not display anything. I can see the title bar and, if I click at the right places, the different menus, but nothing regarding the workspace.  I have installed at least two different revisions of FME 2023 with the same behavior. However, with FME 2022, everything seems to work flawlessly. So the issue looks to be related with 2023 only, inside a Remote Desktop session (no issue when using on my laptop).  I tried to enable the GPU rendering after reading this link (https://knowledge.civilgeo.com/kb/enabling-gpu-rendering-for-microsoft-remote-desktop/), but that didn't change anything.

I have a dgn file which when I read into FME loses a line and I cannot figure out why. When I view the file in Bentley View I see the following:-In FME :-  Would anybody have any suggestions as to why this may be? I appreciate that the line is a BSpline Curve, which can cause problems, but others come through OK. Any parameter you may know of that I can change to allow the features to be read?I have attached a clip of the dgn in case someone would like to replicate the problem.Many thanks for any words of wisdom 😀

I'm attempting to filter through all the files within a specific location to identify what shapefiles and feature classes exist within that location (dealing with over 500,000 files). I'm using a Directory and File Pathnames reader to kick off the workflow which is recognizing that there are zip folders within the location, but stops at the zipped folder and won't read the files within them. Is there a way for me to read in the files from the zipped folders as well? Thanks!

Dear fellow FME users, I am trying to delve a bit into the Rcaller in combination with asking data from a website (CBS). I have a bit of R experience, but not so much with the Rcaller. With Rstudio the code works without a problem, however I don't manage to succeed in FME desktop 2022.2.1.0I am running the code below. I am aware that you need to adjust the R code a bit before making it work in FME desktop, so I was wondering whether I have to adjust the current code. In my case the Rcaller is running and it seems like it's doing nothing or stuck. I therefore I assume that the code is probably not working. Can someone else test and see how I have to adjust the current code?  Furthermore I am looking for blog posts that delve into the Rcaller. I would like to learn more about the rcaller and make myself a bit more proficient.# Run once:install.packages("cbsodataR") library(cbsodataR) # Downloading table li

Looking at article Working with Geodatabase Field Aliases: Altering Alias Values (safe.com) I am trying to run the same directly to an AGOL hosted feature layer. I have created the requisite "_alias" field to match those that I need alias values for, but no dice. Also tried adding the same fields (matching the attribute manager) to the writer attributes (manual setting) but the result simply created additional fields with the "_alias" suffix. Is this possible with this writer?

After upgrade to 2023.1.2 FME Form from FME Desktop 2022.2 Microsoft SQL Server Non Spatial Writer start writing empty attributes for all text fields but Datetime field still populating. Have anyone encountered this issue before? I tried changing TYPE to text, varchar_max, char, non of these works on FME Form 2023.1.2I have replaced that writer, replaced the workspace with brand new canvas, still no luck. But when I run the same exact workspace in FME Desktop 2022.2 the table populates fine. To make it even more confusing, within the same workspace I have another SQL Server writer but it just goes to another table, both version are able to populate all records.Something interesting I saw on the log for 2023.1.2 version is that before it showed 11 record written to the table, 120 attributes were truncated. (not sure why?), b

Hi, I am just wondering if it is possible to read the content of Web App published to Esri Portal. I want to know what layers have been grouped in which layer group. I think ArcGISOnlineConnector has to be used, but I can only get the general information (even after exposing all available attributes). The Web Application has multiple layer groups with different layers included.
