How to add IFC property

Hello to all,I need to add a missing property into an existing Pset. I tried the workbench shown by Liz in the post “Updating IFC example” but it doesn’t work in my case. Before testing with an Excel sheet contaning GUID and properties to add, I just test to add manually a single property:First, I created 2 attributes:Then I used the GeometryPropertySetter:With the XQuery:I find my previous properties in the “Proprietes” Pset, but I don’t have the new one “TypeVitrage”. Did I forget something or do I have to use “IfcPropertySetDefinitionCreator” ? Thank in advanceBest regardsBruno

FME Server REST API : get automation tasks/items

Is it possible to retrieve automation tasks/items using the FME Server REST API? Specifically, I’m trying to find all workspaces that are run by automations and I’d also need to determine the published parameters passed to each workspace.The Schedules and Notifications (Subscriptions) REST API methods allow all “items” to be retrieved, which provides access to the workspace details but this does not seem to be exposed in the REST API for Automations…I’m using FME Server 2019.2.2 Build 19817 - win64.

SharepointOnlineConnector and web connection woes

Hi all.I’ve tried to setup a connection to a list of files on a (customer) Sharepoint service without much success.I’ve read multiple other questions about it here, and some provided useful help (prompt=login), but most does not address my issues.The customer has created the site, and provided me with tenant and client IDs, and client secret. And he has created an “app” with an approval of my client (FME Form).First I tried to create a web service, but never got the “Test...” to work. First it erred insisting on getting an approval, but “prompt=login” solved that, but not it errs with a “refresh token” error.The same happens when I try to create a new web connection using the web service in a SharepointOnlineConnector.I then saw that there was an alternative use, using FeatureReader with “Microsoft Sharepoint List”, and here I was able to create a web connection using the previous web service unaltered. Sofar it can only access root douments, but the connection works, it seems.But now

AGOL Feature Service Writer resets visibility when using 'Truncate Existing'

I’m using the ESRI ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer to update a layer in AGOL. I have it configured as per the screenshot below.After it runs, the layer in AGOL is visible when zoomed all the way out!So, I then republish the layer in ArcGIS Pro and it fixes the layer so that it now disappears when zoomed out (I could also do this directly in AGOL).I then change the FME writer to ‘Use Existing’ (and not ‘Truncate Existing’) and re-run the translation.This time it works without affecting the AGOL layer visibility.So I change the FME writer back to ‘Truncate Existing’ (and not ‘Use Existing’) and re-run the translation.It breaks the AGOL layer visibility again!I plan to use something like this to update many layers, and I cannot have them all visible when zoomed out. It would be a complete mess.Am I doing something wrong? How can I update the data (including deleting features) without affecting the AGOL layer’s visibility?(The issue occurs for both 'Insert' and 'Upsert'. I’m using

Create new field to ArcGIS Portal Feature

Hello,Is it possible to write new fields in ArcGIS Portal Feature Service with a writer ?I’m getting that message : ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Attribute 'NAME' on feature type 'Roads' does not match any field on the corresponding layer/table. The attribute will be ignored I can’t believe I have to create those fields with ArcGIS Pro, publish the layer and than run my workbench. Update:OK I just found out that I need my fields to be in lowercase to make it work.But for some reasons some field type are not working.Is there any existing list of all the constraints we need to follow for the fields in Portal? That would save me time! Thanks!

Strange characters appearing instead of date

I have a script that pulls numerous datasets together, formats them into a consistent set of attributes and then writes them to .TAB files.I’m having difficulty with date field (STARTD) in the final output because although appearing to be correct in the .TAB files, ArcPy is not able to detect the dates in the .TAB files and instead shows the data as odd characters. Please see the image below for more information. Has anyone seen this before or aware of how to fix the issue? I’m not sure if there is a setting in my FME script that may need to be amended.

Reading Excel files with different columns

Hello,i need to process excel files, currently by means of FME Form 2023.1, perspectively using FME Flow. These files, however, can differ in columns available. See attachments. The files are processed individually, only one file at a time.If i run the process with file “tk_template_v0.0.xlsx” I want the featurereader to display only the columns, containing in this file. If I run “tk_template_v0.1.xlsx”, which has got 3 more columns, i want these columns to be available in the process as well.I would like to run the script with these files without clicking on the “Feature Types to Read” button any time I process a new file! The sheet name always have the name “Tabelle1”.Unfortunately I do not find a set of parameter that results in the desired output.The existing posts have not yet enlighten me! Any ideas?

Fanout failing to write fanned out files

Hello Forum, I’m attempting a fanout on a geojson file based on specifying an attribute. This is a simple task which I’ve carried out dozens of times before with success on other datasets. However, for some unknown reason it’s failing to fanout on a particular dataset. I’ve read in the geojson with FeatureReader. This is connected to a to a FeatureWriter. In the FeatureWriter I have… Selected format: Geojson (Geographic JavaScript Object Notation)Browsed to a destination UNC path and ensured the .geojson extension is shown. Note that the geojson writer it defaults to .json extension, so you have to change it to .geojson manually.In Parameters changed ‘Reproject to WGS84’ to NoIn General>Feature Type Name selected ‘open text editor ‘ and then selected Primary_Function from the FME Feature Attributes list. Note that Primary_Function is the attribute I wish to fanout on. The attribute exists in the source dataset and does contain values. However, this then fails to write fanned out geo

Reference a Global variable within a Tester Transformer

I am trying to compare the total of features from my original data source to the number of features ultimately written to a dataset. I thought I’d create a variable from Statistics Calculator result to refer to in my Tester. Is there a way to reference the global variable I have set within the Tester phrase ?If not, is there an efficient way of comparing the stats between the beginning and the end ?

Convert cubemap image equirectangular panorama

Hi,I’ve tried a few times to do this over the years but I haven’t been successful. What I want to do is convert a set of cubemap images into on equirectangular panorama. Kind of like this:I know there are a lot of free python solutions of Github, but I haven’t been able to get any of them to successfully work. I’m not particularly good a python and I don’t want to install any script packages. I’d prefer to do this entirely within FME as I am already loading in the images.Would anyone know a solution?

FME cached values won't show up when trying to import into a transformer.

I'm attempting to read in address points from a shapefile and filter them by the "County" attribute field. I'm using the AttributeFilter and trying to import all the values to route the points to their respective ports. When I try to import the values in the transformer, the only value showing up is that of the first feature. Not all of them. When I attach a second attribute filter, all the values show up. I guess I can go about the workflow doing it this way, but it seems like all the values should be showing up in the first attribute filter. Any suggestions?

Generate polygon features from coordinates stored in a .JSON file

I have been given a .JSON file to try and convert into an output Esri File Geodatabase format. I have managed to flatten the nested JSON values into attributes, and can view these ok. However, I am having a real issue trying to get my workbench to read the coordinate values that make up the polygon geometry objects. If someone could assist that would be much appreciated. I have attached a file, but stripped it back just to include the line containing the coordinate information for one polygon. Thanks, R

Python Start Up Script results used within User Parameter

Hello,i am facing the following task. csv-files that have different headers (different columns) are to be processed. In other words, file1 has a set of attributes, file2 has a different set of attributes, etc. In a Python start up script, the different columns are determined whenever the workbench is started. Now i would like to use these attributes within published parameters. The idea:A published parameter “p_city” asks for the column which corresponds to “p_city” (name of the city). The user can select among the columns that have previously been determined by the start up script.How can i pass the determined columns from the start up script to a fme parameter? Or do you have a better idea?Best wishes

Failure when receiving data from the peer (WFS FeatureReader)

I use a workspace that reads a list of data sources in an Excel file. The data sources are either a gml file, in url format or not, or wfs urls. The workspace reads the data and converts and merges it into one filegdb.In total, the workspace processes approx. 50,000 features. Nevertheless, the following error message often occurs: HTTP transfer error: 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' when reading (with a FeatureReader) the WFS sources. See also the discussion in: problem-wfs-query-5215.Findings (including those based on) this last discussion:Increasing Timeout values or limiting the maximum number of features to be read does not seem to have any effect. Another suggestion to read the GetFeature request via a browser resulted in the expected XML content for most services, but for the wfs that gives the HTTP transfer error, in an image with only coordinates and attribute values in text format. It can take a while for the browser (Chrome in this case) to convert the read v
