FME Form

About the projectWe have individuals checking traps and bait stations (points) located on different properties (polygons).  Every time someone goes to visit a property they create a point record so we know who has been there and when. Output requirementsWe need to fill out a word document (template given to us by the client) for each property we visit. What I thought I could do to automate this process currently being filled out manually by the team lead:Set up an FME process using the property parcels (polygons) and trap and bait station records (points). Use a PointOnAreaOverlayer and add the important point data onto to the property addresses. Each property has one form (filled out with a list of visit dates and who was there). I watched this really useful webinar

I am interested in read several .dbs files with FME. I have read that this .dbs is a Gupta Technologies SQLBase database file.Is there any chance that FME can read this format?

If this is a bug in 2022, then I can think of upgrading my FME version to 2023. Please confirm.

I have a large dataset of points (~21m) with an attribute column that identifies one of 540 groups that they belong to. I need to create a set of polygons that contain all the points in each group and then buffer these polygons so that there are no overlaps or gaps between them. I've tried creating voronoi of the individual points and then dissolving by group, but this was incredibly slow and seemed to generate odd results. The alternative approach I tried was using HullAccumulator by group, which was very fast but I can't think of any way to get around the gaps. Any help much appreciated.

Hello all, I've been trying to delete a folder containing some data after processing. I cannot use a temp folder so have turned to python to complete the task.I've tried following the comments in the following thread but it doesn't seem to work for me File Copy - DELETE (safe.com)I can get the process to work when 'hard coding' as shown below. But when I try to make it dynamic by replacing 'location' with feature.getAttribute('filepath') and dir with feature.getAttribute('directory') it fails.The filepath and directory attributes are shown below:'filepat

I'm trying to bulk insert features (Append) data (basically merge databases content) to existing destination Feature Service using the FME_ArcGIS_Portal web authentication for web service. I noticed that the Features Per request parameter has an odd behavior, and I can't seem to control/change that physically on ArcGIS Enterprise side. In the snapshot, if I leave the default to 1000, or reduce to 500 features per request it gives two different errors.ERROR |ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was 'None' and the message was: 'Could not access any server machines. Please contact your system administrator.'. Details: 'None' or ERROR |ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '500' and the message was: 'Unable to complete operation.'. Details: 'No edits ('adds', 'updates', 'delet

Hi everyone, I have split a pt cloud into 2 : Ground and Rest (Ceiling and Beams). and I would like now to calculate the minimum verticale distance (along z axis) between the 2 clouds. to avoid false results with the beams i want to eliminate any results smaller than 2meters. I am a little bit new on FME and i don't know which transformers would be best for this operation if it's doable. Thank you

I'm sure other people must have workspaces running this, but so far the only transformer I found was the emailer and no Email writer. At the end of the workspace I want to send an email to one of our staff summarizing what happened in the last week (how many traps were visited, names of the land owners and their contact details). This data is of course all in the workspace already. How do I set this up so it goes in one email with ideally a table of the above? Not individual emails per property. When I go into the Body of the Emailer transformer I see there are values I could add in (that looks like lists. They have {}), but when I actually run the process these values are empty in the email. None of them appear. I am not far enough along in my FME journey to understand how lists work yet... I think I might n

I have two datasets, where one (a) is holding x/y/z coordinates and the other (b) contains a distance value. I created a line, based on the coordinates from dataset a, and after densifying the line used a measure to get values I can compare to the distance values provided by dataset b. The distance and measure values are not perfect matches, and I would like to accumulate the attributes from dataset b to dataset a based on an a rule like the following: IF 'ref_length' >= 'start_length' AND 'ref_length' < 'end_length' This is what I have so far 

I have a csv with numerous fields that have ( 323244,232324245) and would like to know how i can get rid of the brackets and keep the data

Hello fellow FME’ers! I have a case where I need my on prem FME Flow to listen to certain messages from my FME Flow hosted instance. I want job a job to trigger automatically when a FME Flow hosted job has run. It looks like this is not an out of the box thing. Or is it? for the record: I don’t want to solve this with a schedule task!How would you trigger your FME instance A to run after job on FME instance B has run? A can communcate with B, but B can not send messages to A.  

Hello everyone!We have a file format that we work with, which is used by our engineering world to create bills of quantities for engineering projects.The name of the format is SKN, and in fact it is very similar to csv/excle,Is there a way I can just read it and put it in my workflow?I am attaching an example of the file here (zipped)Thank you!

The ERDAS IMAGE Reader cannot workHey！I encountered a problem in using the FME workbench.The problem occurs in FME Desktop 2022.1-FME Desktop2022.2 ，If the ERDAS IMAGE reader has set the “Use Search Envelope” and “Clip To Search Envelope”, it cannot work normally. If FME2022.0 is used, the ERDAS IMAGE reader is no problem.the ERDAS filesize is 16GB​

Hello! I have problem to write several geopackage data to one geodatabase. I used Attribute filter and Dynamic writers. Attributes from all objects comes to each features. How to write data to geodatabase so that there are each features has own attributes? I am not profs with FME yet :) Would be thankful for tips.

How do we read AGOL relationship classes/related tables in FME? The published table can be imported separately but the relationship linkage is not maintained in the parent feature service. Is there a way to import feature service in a way from where the related table is linked?

Hello, I'm attempting to use an attribute with HTML as a value into the HTML2PDFConverter. What's odd is that said transformer asks where the HTML will originate from (a file, attribute, or URL), but when you select one of those options, it's still asking for the other two as a requirement. Is this a bug?     

Hi all!I'm reading spatial data from a MapServer hosted in organizations ArcGIS Portal. The query is made with HTTPCaller, and the response is in EsriJSON (by default). I then extract the "geometry" part of the response json, as well as some other attributes from the response, with PythonCaller and replace the geometry with GeometryReplacer to FME Feature Geometry, so that I can perform other spatial tasks with FME later in the translation.  However, I noticed that some polygons returned from the query contains holes inside of them, or they should contain (this is confirmed from the source data), but after the GeometryReplacer, the holes are not holes, but filled with a polygon, and the Geometry returned is a multiarea with polygon part of it on top of the polygon itself! This behaviour happens, when the Geometry source encoding is EsriJSON. The MapServer can be queried so, that the response format is in GeoJSON, and whe

I've created a workspace to call a lot of wms services - and I'm not getting the right response. When I copy the URL to a browser the %EF%BB%BF appears in my string - this I cannot se within FME. How can I fix this ?

Hi, I want to simplify some line geometries which may be single or multi part IF their coordinate count is greater than a fixed value. Is there a simple way that I can apply a generalisation based of max resultant coordinate count rather than a tolerance setting where the post generalisation coordinate count will not be know until until after the generalisation has been applied. In the latter situation if the count still exceeds my threshold the tolerance would have to be increased, and generalised once or multiple times? I was interested to know if I could go straight to my max value rather than having to create a looped process? I am using FME(R) 2022.2.3.0 (20230131 - Build 22789 - WIN64)  Ultimately I want to create a WKT Geom encode which does not exceed a fixed string length. For this I know that each line should have no more than ~1250 vertices, so I want to simplify the line to this number if the coordinat

So essentially the lines are the boundary of this polygon. I have tried spatial relator which only sometimes gives me a 1 to many join on every other line, I tried neighborfinder but I can get the attributes to copy over. I have specified merged attributes but it doesn't seem to be working. Not sure what I am doing wrong and help will be appreciated. The images show what I would like to achieve in FME.

Hi everyone.I am trying to obtain a csv file with some information about several raster files. One of the attributes I need to get is the number of pixels with a determined value (in my case I need, among others, two attributes for each raster: the number of pixels with value=0 and with value=255). Is there any transformer for that?Thanks!

I have some Autocad data where the objects are constructed as 3D solids, like this:The 3D data is nice for many uses, but I would also like to extract a simplified version for our GIS databases. The Surface Footprint Replacer will generate a nice polygon, but will also remove the elevation and return 2D data.  Is there a way to get a footprint that retains the elevations of the "top face" of the solid? I most cases this face is flat, but in some cases, like ducts and pipes, this is not the case.
