FME Form

Hello,After reading a file geodatabse, I realized that for some fields are empty. When reading the same geodabase in arcmap or in qgis, the fields are not empty. What could be the reason and how to fix it?

Seeking help,I have an IFC file containing information about sewage pipes. In theory, it should contain two types of object classes (with geometry), namely IfcDistributionChamberElement (Manhole) and IfcPipeSegment (pipe). These classes use their subclasses as connectors, namely IfcDistributionPort (at each object node). Finally, these IfcDistributionPorts should be connected to each other using a relationship class called IfcRelConnectsPorts. My problem is that when I import the IFC file as a reader, the class IfcRelConnectsPorts cannot be found, which prevents me from establishing connections between manholes and pipes.  Here is a screenshot. in IFC file (open by notepad) Here is a screenshot. fme dont hv any feature or attribute name IfcRelConnectsPort. 

Hello everyone!  I'm having a problem with one of my layers in one of my GML files. Here's a screenshot of the problem: Do you know why there is this error on my data? The data is in 'line' format. Thanks in advance for your feedback! All the best, Dozhwal

I was following the FME Desktop Basic 2022.1 web training (trailhead). Now I can't find my progress or training anywhere. Is there something i missed?

I have some old JAVA files from a discontinued Java based program. The file extensions are .jar and .class. The data is basic line, point, and polygons with attributes. Is there any process I could convert these files to ESRI shape or geodatabases?

I would like to know if it is possible to run several fme workbench that will write in parallel to a file geodatabase at the same time with each workbench writing to different feature classes? I tried this but it is not working and I don't know why. @Takashi Iijima​ and others, any thoughts  on this?

I have data coming in from an instrument. It contains the readings for gasses like oxygen and H2S.  I am trying to create a report to highlight the highest value in a given hour on a given day. With the table below: Instrument 1 | 10:00 AM | March 1st | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 10 ppmInstrument 1 | 10:05 AM | March 1st | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 5 ppmInstrument 1 | 10:10 AM | March 1st | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 0 ppm...Instrument 1 | 10:00 AM | March 2nd | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 10 ppmInstrument 1 | 10:05 AM | March 2nd | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 15 ppm... I would want the report to show me the following,Instrument 1 | 10:05 AM | March 2nd | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 15 ppmInstrument 1 | 10:00 AM | March 1st | Unit ABC 123 | H2S 10 ppm because those values are the highest gas reading for each hour, (10 AM as a record, 11 AM as another etc) on each unique day. I have tried the statistics calculator, but it doesn't allow you to accumulate the other attributes, or allow you to find unique fields to 're-merge'

Hello, I have 3D building data in 3ds and sketch formats. These data are not georeferenced. How can I move this data to the real place? I tried offsetter, but it did not work. Can you help me? I will do scal and rotate later.

I have an FME 2020 workspace with an MS Access reader in it. MS Access 2013 Runtime is installed on my laptop. The workspace runs correctly. I have two FME Server/Form environments (2020 and 2023) with MS Access 2019 Runtime installed on them. The workspace will not run on either of them. 2020 FME Server wants the MS Access 2013 Runtime installed ("ADO Provider not installed or not compatible with FME architecture. Try installing Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime (x64)"). 2023 FME Flow wants the MS Access 2016 Runtime installed ("ADO Provider not installed or not compatible with FME architecture. Try installing Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime (x64)"). Is that because those versions of FME Server/Flow only work with those versions of MS Access Runtime? Or, is the MS Access Runtime info embedded in the FME workspace and I should install MS Access Runtime 2019 on the my laptop to work with either version of FME Server/Form? Bottom line is I would like to run the workspace o

Hello ,i have different points and lines as output of FME . i would like to write the output of Fme directly in new map view in arcmap . thanjs in advance fme 2021

Hi , I am having problems getting the XMLFragmenter to produce any results if I add a predicate. I have tested the following on an xpath online tool and it works. Workspace/WorkspaceDefinition/DatasetDefinitions/DataElement/Children/DataElement/Name[.="PROMPT_wControlValve"] the online tool requires esri: to work. I attach a snippet of the xml (an esri gdb workspace export).Ideally I would like to return the parent DataElement of <Name>PROMPT_wControlValve</Name> but I would be happy to make any progress. Thanks in advance   http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/10.6

Hey hey ... I'm successfully writing feature classes from ArcGIS Map Server layers to GDB. My writer names and schema are defined dynamically because I'm iterating over many service layers (with a feature reader, driven by CSV rows).  I was able to name my feature classes based on a field (readable layer_name) other than the fme_feature_type, but rightly the writer strips s p a c e s and ( parentheses ).  I'd like to use the unmodified layer name as the geodb_feature_class_alias by setting a format attribute (which is exposed and connected), but it doesn't seem to ever take.  Advice on how to set this up is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.  

I want to log some workbench results directly to a database. As a template to start from I followed this example https://community.safe.com/s/article/shutdown-python-scripts-in-fme#ex3Works greeat, only issue is fme.totalFeaturesRead and fme.totalFeaturesWritten evaluates to 0 when there are 10'' objekts in my workbench which is dynamic. How would one go about to get the totalFeaturesRead and written for a dynamic workbench? fme.totalFeaturesRead i evaluated if a regular reader is used. But i am using FeatureReader / Writer - in that case it is not reported. But why not?

Hello,I have a SalesForce account that is working but for somehow I'm not able to read data with FME.When setting my account, it was first asking me my username and my password   After fixing this, now I'm not being able to create the web coinnection for Saleforces. I'm only receiving the following error message . I went to manage web connection and tried to test the web service for Saleforces but still the same error.Any ideas?

Hello, I have a workspace that is attempting to look for substantial changes to the schema/attributes of client data by comparing a past dataset to a new dataset. It does its job well, except for when it freezes. Irregularly, when processing one of its featurereader transformers, FME freezes completely. When it does freeze, the FME process is hung and will not stop/free the license until the machine is rebooted.  I am running this workspace via the CLI, but the freezes have happened running from the GUI as well. When it freezes, the log file appears to be attempting to either find a plugin to use for the file, or merging the schemas (based on the last thing written/what would be written next). The freezes sometimes happen on the first featurereader, sometimes on the second. I have grabbed the last lines of the log file below from a recent freeze. This workspace normally takes ~90 seconds to complete, and is still running 16 hours later. I've waited over 48 hours before with no change. 

Hi,I have a process where I have identified the closest two points to each point (using the NeighborFinder), then created polylines from the source point to each of the closest points, using the VertexCreator (Add Point, closest candidate x, closest candidate y). The process runs and seemingly creates the lines (attribute table shows the features), but the lines aren't visible in the inspector nor when I write them to a .gdb. When I click in the area where I know there is a line on the inspector, the attribute table selects the record - but the line isn't visible? Has anyone experienced this before?

I've tried following the steps here: Article Detail (safe.com) but my kmz folder name doesn't appear in the "Select Feature Types" dialog

Hey Safers ... Long time listener, first time caller. Go easy!  See below, I'm iterating over rows in a CSV, using these to build ArcGIS Map Server URLs, pulling features from the services, and writing them out to GDB (eventually SDE) feature classes.  I use the Map Server layer numbers to build my URLs, in turn these layer numbers are assigned to my schema and feature_types, and eventually become the feature class names in my GDB.  Has anyone got any pointers on how I can use the more friendly layer_name values to name my feature classes? Thanks in advance!

Feature cache works great as a method to inspect all transformers after a workbench has ran, but causes a few issues for me.it hurts performance to cache each and every transformerI lose all the cached data if FME crashes or I close the workbench.I am looking for advice on ways to cache or otherwise save output from only a few transformers. My only idea is to write features out to a file, and later bring back in with a writer. are there other transformers I may not be aware of that can save/recall data after restarting the workbench? 

Is it possible to restore the cached data from a ran workbench that has been closed or crashed? I am running a heavy dataset (10s of millions of features) and it takes several hours to run. As I troubleshoot the workbench after, I am bouncing around between the cached inspectors for each transformer. My workbench has been crashing often in this process, and I wish I could re-open it and get back to the full cached state without having to re-run it.

I would like to write features to a local file to read back in later and looking for the best file type for performance.My local machine does not have any DBs to use for this purpose (Oracle, SQL, etc)so I am limited to files I can save to a PC folder.Does FME have it's own DB file type that I could be utilizing? I tried FME Feature Store (FFS) but it has limited functionality, such as not being able to set truncate or table drop on runs. And it's main purpose is to add encryption which I don't need and seems like it hurts performance.I have read on here that CSV is very high performance but I don't want to lose metadata such as data type, len, etc.Excel has a feature limit that does not work for me. 

I've PostGIS table with two geometry types - Point & Polygon. When I read table, I'm only able to see Polygons. But point geometry column is only shown in table and unable to visualize. Is there any way to visualize point geometry instead? How do we explicitly mention for which geometry columns to be visualized? Thanks!

Hi there,we have a workspace where we check with a HTTPCaller, if an URL has data to download. This workspace works perfectly in FME Form.  If we notice, that there are no data available, we want to become an E-Mail in order to react on time. We have created an automation in FME Flow with an E-Mail-block.  Now we do not know how can we make the match: No data to download (FME Form) -> Action failed way in FME Flow in order to send the mailData to download (FME Form) -> Action successful in FME in order to log a message how can we make it? Thanks a lot in advance
