FME Form

I have switched from using a custom transformer to a linked custom transformer for the sake of reusability. While there were no errors when I ran it with the local custom transformer, I started encountering an error message randomly after seeing the "Translation was SUCCESSFULLY" message, which reads "Error missing translation." after I changed it to a linked custom transformer. Here's some additional information that may help:1) The number of records outputted by the custom transformer in both cases is the same.2) In both scenarios, they were executed in "Moderate" mode with parallel processing.3) Debug logs are enabled, and although there are some "BADNEWS" messages, they were present in both cases. Can anyone provide me with some hints or guidance to resolve this unknown error message?" Here below is the screen capture for the error message.

Hello,Has anyone faced issues while trying to read DGN files (V7 or V8) in FME 2022? My current version is FME(R) 2022.2.5.0 (20230329 - Build 22795 - WIN64). Below an screenshot of the error:I have tried to changed the reading parameters but still unable to read it. Also I have loaded the same DGN onto FME 2020 and works fine.Can this be a bug in the 2022 version?

I am trying to read a parquet file with the "FeatureReader" transformer and I have no problems doing so. However, the three columns that I have in my parquet file, which are datetimes [ns], do not appear in the parquet. If I use an "Attribute Exposer" I can't get them either, they seem to come as "missing". Any alternative in this regard? 

I'm trying to copy metadata from SDE (Test) to SDE (Prod) environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,I need to write to several feature classes with the same schema but different prefixes to the names e.g. FAIL_wPressureMain. I am using an XML workspace schema only as template to define the output ( has subtype and domains). In the schema there is wPressureMain. The writer creates a feature class wPressureMain with everything correct but when I output a prefixed name e.g. FAIL_ the the subtype is not respected (haven't checked domains yet). I am presuming at the moment that somehow the new name does not match the schema 'name' wPressureMain and hence thinks it's something new and just writes out the data with the new name , loosing the subtype definition? Is there a way to fix this or is this correct behaviour? Or something broken in my script?I could create a schema for FAIL_wPressureMain and all my other classes and prefixes likewise, the result would empty feature class output, creating a different problem of deletin

The project number attribute from the TPL Corridors and Concepts layer did not exist in the target TDE Projects layer. However, I created a separate workspace that added in the field of TPL_Project_Number field into the TDE Projects layer already, so the target TDE Projects layer has the field in the table. This is my current workspace.This is how the attribute manager configuration is:The issue I am experiencing is that the script is inserting new records with just the tpl_project_number into the target TDE Projects layer, but I want these tpl_project_numbers inputted into the target TDE Projects layer for only the TDE Projects and TPL Corridors and Concepts polygons that overlap one another into the existing corresponding r

I'm using FME Workbench 2022.2.4. I have a couple of workspaces that I run daily  (via a batch files) to generate public facing data (a dashboard and a downloadable csv file). When I open and run one of these workspaces in FME Form 2301.0, it had 123 errors.  I noticed that Upgradeable Transformers did not appear in the Navigator Pane, and discovered that this is a know issue. The notice says that the issue is fixed in 2023.1.0.1 but, I don't think that version is available.https://community.safe.com/s/article/Known-Issues-in-FME-2023-x In the 2023.1 log file, the first error I see is:2023-09-22 12:15:35| 118.0|  0.1|ERROR |DateTimeConverter_2_1 (TeeFactory): DateTimeConverter_2_1: @Tcl2 -- failed to evaluate expression `DateTimeConverter_2_2ec7b318_cca9_46ee_ac8d_5fa555c5bb630_DateTimeConverter {DateTime_FME}' -- F

How can I fix the texture that the 3D-tiles writer puts out? When converting from obj(including .png and .mlt) to 3D tiles, the writer makes the texture very dark when they are being viewed in Cesium. There is no problem converting to kmz, the textures is perfect there but we need to use 3D-tiles for its streaming capabilities. KMZ: 3D-Tiles:  I have read multiple posts on FME forum and on Cesium forum:including this idea: https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0r4Q00000Hbqi5QAB/options-to-choose-and-set-gltf-appearan

I am TRYING (without success) to build areas from parallel horizontal and vertical lines. After MUCH work i finally have 2 areas that will simply not create areas.I started with parallel lines.use Intersector and others.but end up with 2 areas that are missing because of one line that the intersector chopped that is always incomplete in AreaBuilder.

I have a tree canopy coverage layer where tree canopies are overlaid. The layer contains around 5,000,000 entities and I need... :1) remove the overlapping area of the entities (I've tried with the space and overlap cleaner but it takes too long, I have 32gb RAM)2) merge all entities into one, and for display performance reasons, the resulting layer must be cut on a 1 km or 500 m grid. In attached an exemple of the layer  Any idea how to proceed? Thanks to all

I'm trying to setup a workspace that allows the user to choose what attributes to keep in the final spreadsheet. But AttributeKeeper seems to work wrong when passing User Parameters in the "Attributes to Keep" box. I've created a User Parameter of the type "Attribute Name" that allows to select multiple attributes, and I've setup AttributeKeeper to use this parameter. I'm facing the following:1- When selecting only one attribute: Schema gets lost, but the attribute is still retrievable by exposing it.2- When selecting more than one attribute: Both schema and attributes get lost.3- Noticed that AttributeKeeper has a comma delimiter when multiple attributes are selected, while "Attribute Name" User Parameters use a blank space as a delimiter. So I've created a third parameter of the type "Text" with the value "a1,a2" (where a1 and a2 are the attributes),

I am trying to test a bunch of IFC files containing different sets of IFC classes like IfcBeam, IfcColumn, IfcReinforcingBar etc. When I change the filepath in a user parameter, FeatureReader changes accordingly as per the presence of IFC classes in that respective IFC file(Refer images), resulting in breaking links with the next transformers. I also created a dummy IFC file manually adding in all the IFC classes which are there in all the IFC files I have till now. But this is not a reliable solution as future might hold some other classes as well. Kindly try to suggest me a reliable solution I am surely missing at the moment.

Hello! I have a workspace selecting a feature then passing its geometry into a different workspace for analysis: However, I receive these messages and the second workspace doesn't run:WorkspaceRunner_CleanerUpperOfBatchesInitiator (CreationFactory): Created 1 featuresWorkspaceRunner_CleanerUpperOfBatchesDoWeNeedToDoIt (TestFactory): Tested 1 input feature(s) -- 0 feature(s) passed and 1 feature(s) failedWorkspaceRunner_CleanerUpperOfBatchesRunner (TestFactory): Tested 0 input feature(s) -- 0 feature(s) passed and 0 feature(s) failed Here is the Geometry Extractor: Here is the WorkspaceRunner:

AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner has turned on itself, see examples below. The changes occur within tolerances, but the transformer should only be modifying gaps between neighbouring polygons, not itself?

By referring to the article Creating a Custom Format and section Using the Custom Format Wizard, I have created a custom format along with few (Published) user parameters.However, when consumed the custom format via Workspace Resources of a new FME workbench, user parameters those were created in the custom format were not appearing. Did I

Hi, I'm following the FME Basic course, here exercise Flood Risk Project within the module Use Conditional Value. In the course text the Inspector result is shown in the picture attached here ("... Inspector according to exercise").However, in my FME the outcome is different (see "... Inspector"): other names and 3 items instead of 5 items.I checked the conditional values used in the AttributeManager several times, it is exact the same as in the course text (see "... Conditional Value" Any thoughts?

I have 3 tables, a linear tables of sections, a non geometric table of bus lines, and a intermediate table between both, with relations N:M. I need to merge the sections to get the geometry of bus lines. but some of the sections belongs to many bus lines, so I need to "duplicate" some of the sections. Any idea of how to get the geometry of bus lines? Thank you again

@Dale Lutz​ @donatsafe​ Hi Guys - can someone tell me if the home use licence is still available. I have just tried to get a new licence and been told that the home use program no longer exists. However, when safe did their rebranding the question was asked about the home use licences and Don and Dale said it would continue. Can someone please confirm which is correct...

HelloIs it possible to create user parameters and save them for use in other workbenches?I have numerous workbenches that all load different data however some of the parameters will be the same and used in every workbench.I have looked at the documentation, but cant see anything obvious. If these created parameters could be saved to either a database, or file to allow sharing with others that would be even better...RegardsAndy  

Hello,on the SchemaScanner transformer, in the data types section, there is a parameter to define the action to be taken for attributes with the value Missing/Null/Empty.When ignore is selected, if an attribute has no entry, it is excluded from the schema. This seems correct for Missing. But is this the case for Null and Empty?In the latter case, shouldn't the attribute remain in the data model?If not, what other prossibility exists for retaining an attribute that has no value entry in the data model? Best regardsPatrick

Hi there,I'm trying to Update a Scene Layer in ArcGIS Portal for Enterprise. While I'm able to delete the existing Scene Layer, update the existing Scene Layer Package and sharing it, the step of publishing fails. The error Message is: PUBLISH_ERRORThere was an error while publishing the item: ERROR 000800: The value is not a member of SHAPEFILE | CSV | SD | SERVICEDEFINITION | FEATURECOLLECTION | FEATURESERVICE | MAPSERVICE | FILEGEODATABASE | SQLITEGEODATABASE | SCENEPACKAGE | GEOPACKAGE | GEOJSON | TILEPACKAGE | VECTORTILEPACKAGE | EXCEL | COMPACTTILEPACKAGE. Failed. I can select the Scene Layer Package in the ArcGISOnline Connector. If I publish the Scene Layer Package, that I uploaded with FME, directly in the Portal, it works fine. A Scene Layer (hosted) is produced. However, if I try it with the ArcGISOnline Connector it fails and produces an empty "Feature Layer (hosted)". I think

I am reading into my workbench both dwg and dgn files using two feature readers. I am able to expose the fme_dataset for the dgn file by using an attributeExposer transformer, but the fme_dataset will not be exposed for the dwg files. I am able to get the fme_feature_type and fme_text_string for each FeatureReader. But I want to add the file name (fme_basename) as an attribute to each feature so I know what file it came from. Things I have tried:separate AttributeExposer transformers for each FeatureReaderThe same AttributeExposer transformers for both FeatureReadersAdding fme_basename to the <Generic> Port, along with $(SourceDataset_DWG)checking all of the needed options in Reader > Parameters > Schema AttributesWhen I open the inspector after the Exposer, all of the attribute fields are there but the values are empty. All of this information (file name, project name) comes from published user parameters. How can I ad

Hello!I know there are quite a few posts on the subject, but despite everything, I could not apply the solutions to my information.I have a worksheet that produces an ffs file for me, attached, (I changed the names in Hebrew to letters and numbers..)The file represents a neighborhood by type of consumption and amount of water consumed in it.my output is this: How can I Transpose it into this:(The number 1288.64 as a generic representative of consumption..)I would really appreciate your help!The excel file here represents an idea, at the end I write the FFS file for other formats..

I want to generate a textured plane top-down projection from a mesh. Like a raster equivalent for the SurfaceFootprintReplacer, which would derive a footprint polygon. Is there a transformer for that use case?
