FME Form

Hello everyone, I am trying to write a custom FME transformer using the FME Plug-in SDK with Java. I installed the FME Plug-in SDK and successfully followed the steps of the Java tutorial document (after installing the SDK, the tutorial document is located at '<FME>\pluginbuilder\samples\doc\FMEPlugInSDK_Java.pdf'; I attached it to this posting; especially section 4 "Installing and Testing a Transformer" is relevant to my question; ). In section 4 of this document the custom transfomer defined in file 'CenterOfMassCalculator_Java.fmx' is installedafter installing, the FME workspace '..\java\test\function_test.fmw' is run which contains the 'CenterOfMassCalculator_Java' transformer as second element in the translation flow Eventually, running 'function_test.fmw' in the FME workbench results in that the method 'execute(.)' of the Java class '<FME>\pluginbui

Hi, A simple case; insert some excel data into an oracle table and afterwards move the source file.The workflow consists of the following components: The data is written to the oracle table but no features appear from the output port on the featurewriter.Does anyone have a clue to why there is no output?Transformer documentation states that after succesfull writing all features appear from the output port.Thanks!

I have a sorted list and want to output as a PNG, which transformer should I use? I couldn't go direct from a sorter to a PNG Writer?

Anyone have any ideas about how to extract the data from this formatted html document? Ideally, the data would be extracted to a table linked to named images in a folder.

I have an FME workbench set up in Flow that grabs an XML file from an HTTP location - in that application the access is denied and no features are read. This same workspace when downloaded into a desktop workspace and when run with FME Form has no problem reading the XML into features and I can run the process successfully. What gives? Edit - I noticed the client was using the FME Server 2022.2 but provided me with FME Desktop version 2022.1. I updated the FME Desktop version to 2022.2 and now the HTTP requests register 401 unauthorized in both applications so I think this is less about any issue between Form and Flow and more about some nuance between versions... I can still connect to HTTP just fine in 2022.1 on same machine, same creds in a variety of transformers\\readers - but in 2022.2 no dice. Something changed between point versions but do not see this in Issues documentation.

Hi there, This one is fairly simple, I want to combine so the duplicate count is on a single row for each discipline feature:  should look like:  Duplicate UniqueRail Track and Civil 40 22 I've tried aggregator and attributepivot and haven't quite got it across the line! Cheers! 

I put the link of the data I try here which is open data from the Quebec Governement Rôles d'évaluation foncière du Québec - Rôles d'évaluation foncière du Québec géoréférencés 2013 - Données Québec (donneesquebec.ca) The problem table is B05V_UNITE_EVALN.dbf . When I open it in ArcGIS Pro, I can see 3000000 + records but in FME I see only 1500000.

I am trying to migrate Shapefile to Small world , in shapefile it is WGS-84 coordinate and in SmallWorld it has to be UTM-43N, I got "Smallworld Translator Error: coordinate3d(6.461e+007,1.066e+008,700.0) Incompatible sizes 3 2" how to clear this

It looks like STAMEN free background maps will be discontinued from 10/31/2023.  Does FME Form automatically show 'STADIA' maps as option from 11/01/2023 for free background maps? Also are there any other free background maps as other options?

I would like to know how can create a reader with a dynamic schema. To be able to read the new schema from the source without doing a manual update on the main workbench because it's published on the FME server as a service. knowing that the used format is excel for both the reader and writer.

I've used MapInfo for over 20 years and have used FME only a few times. I've been struggling to get the shortestpath finder to run on a large data set. I've read through many of the Q&A here and the documentation and have done the following: Data sources: TIGER road network To/From line segments. Data prep:1) I ran the TIGER file through the topologybuilder as was recommended. 2) I used the coordinateextractor to pull the start and end node from each road segment (start = coordinate index 0 and end = coordinate index -1)3) I used the neighborfinder to run my TO points file (base) to the nearest start/end node (candidate) and used the candidate x/y coordinates for my new TO location. I then did the same thing with my FROM points file.4) I created a polyline using the new To/From nodes (I did this in MapInfo as I couldn't figure out how to do it within FME) Up till now, everything w

Hi,I've been struggling to understand how to generate a pdf report without success.I need to write sections with charts, logos and text in them similar to this based on 50 to 100 attributes:I find it really tedious and complex to generate each section and I can't find any clarifying article or help. If I could use a PDF template it would be much easier but I can't find whether it's even possible. Bearing in mind the amount of attributes to process and show this will take forever.I've been playing with some transformers like PDFPageFormatter, VertexCreator+TextAdder+PDFStyler and with ChartGenerator. I've managed to add some text but charts are shown with a black square.Any advice on how to deal with all this?Thank you.   

Hey Team! I'm scratching my head over a problem that I'm sure one of the gurus on here can help with.  I have some very large spatial files that I need to store in a Snowflake environment. Snowflake has a few big issues when it comes to spatial data. It has very strict acceptance criteria on anything submitted as geometry so we have decided to store all of the spatial information as a binary field to pull out later (using GeometryExtractor) . However when writing this binary attribute to snowflake there is a size limit of 16MB... and when some of your features have over a million vertices this is not really going to work. We are looking into storing the FME binary over a number of attributes (_geom1, _geom2, ect.) to stick back together when needed, but cant get any string based functions to work due to it now being in binary format. I have tried substring extractors and attribute compressors with not much luck.

Hello everyone, I can't seem to find anything about this so decided to post a question here. We've been having issues with some of our automations ever since we upgraded from FME 2020 to FME 2022. These workflows use SchemaMapper to configure and export shapefiles based on a clipped location, and what we've been seeing is that the SchemaMapper will fail (the logs say something like "A required column was not found, row fme_feature_type will be skipped") and a bunch of the shapefiles that should have been clipped and saved in the output folders are missing. I noticed that, even though the Schema Mapper is able to read the Excel spreadsheet we're using (ie. everything shows up properly in the "Parameters" section), once you hit the 'Next' button the Preview appears empty. That is, all the tables show up in the pull-down menu but the view pane itself appears empty (see screenshot 1). And this is what shows up in th

Hi I am using FME Server 2021.2.3, from which I am using a SystemCaller to call a python script, which uses ArcGIS API for PythonThe python script runs correctly when run manually on the server and also when called in FME DesktopThe command line on SystemCaller is:"\\\\fme001.dev.stw.co.uk\\C$\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\Scripts\\propy.bat \\\\fme001.dev.stw.co.uk\\e$\\FMEShare\\resources\\data\\CheckVersions.py Waste/COR_RX_WASTE https://tt-gis.dev.stw.co.uk " When running the workspace in FME Server, I get 'Failed to execute'I have tried putting double quote around the whole command line.Have also granted full access to FME Server domain user for the directories above.

hi, i am getting errors, when trying to implement an old workspace, witch was created in datainteroperability extension in arcmap 10.8. Now upgrading to a higher version of python and ArcGISPro i have difficulties with dwg writter. As soon as i add layers from .shp, to dwg writzter i get an error. .shp has correct coordinate system. Also an old model on older version works. Does someone have an idea what could it be? There is a log of an error: FME Configuration: Destination coordinate system set to input coordinate system `_FME_0'Dynamically creating layer `visina_topo_znak'Dynamically creating layer `id_visine'ACAD writer: Splitting bulk features into individual featuresFME Configuration: Using ESRI Reprojection EngineReprojector: Implicit reprojection prohibited from `_FME_1' (GCS: `GCS_Slovenia_1996') to `_FME_0' (GCS: `GCS_unnamed') using the Esri reprojection engine; specif

For example the value 1.7 is read as 1.7000000000000002. I guess the json utility is using float data type that cannot store just a 1.7. It stores the closest possible value = 1.7000000000000002. I need to round the value to get rid of the extra digits. But I don't know the string representation of the value in the JSON file . So I don't know the scale of the value. The only possibility I have is to set a fixed number in the AttributeRounders decimal places.This is highly irritating!It would be better if the JSON reader tool would also return the scale of the float so I can round the value properly. Or it would be nice if I could set the tools to return the string of the float value and I do the conversion into a number my self.Do you know a workaround for this problem? 

Hi all, here it says that the current supported version for the LandXML Reader/Writer is version 1.1 and that further support is planned for the future. The current version of LandXML is 1.2. Does anyone know anything about the support for version 1.2 or the future version 2.0?  Thanks in advance in case you have any info, cheers!

Hi all,I'm having issues configuring the JSONTemplater to output my data.I currently have 7 rows, with 2 unique IncidentIDs. I'd like to aggregate the postcode data and geometry for these 2 IncidentIDs so that the json can be used on a webmap showing all the postcodes associated with an incident: I've configured my ROOT and SUB templates but the JSONTemplater fails at the root. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?ROOT:{ "type":"FeatureCollection", "features": [ fme-process-features("SUB") ]}  SUB: {    "type":"Feature", "properties":{&qu

attribuut : Oracle Non-Spatial Writerparameter : Table Handling (Use Existing/Truncate Existing) Is it possible to adjust the values ​​of Table Handling (Use Existing or Truncate Existing) in a flow? In a daily data dump, there can be a mutation file or an initial file per table (csv file).Based on that I want to determine Table Handling.  This will save a lot of work. Now I still use 25 CSV files out of more than 100. This may increase in the future. For example, of those 25 files, 5 can be initial files and 20 can be mutation files. It will be written to Writer Oracle Non-Spatial.For the Feature operations I use fme_db_operation. I hope my question is clear. Thanks in Advance
