Renaming attributes from metadata table

I'm working with American Community Survey (ACS) data and would like to rename the attributes in a demographic table with the corresponding values in the metadata table but I'm at a loss. This seems like something that should be less complicated than I'm making it so I'm looking for any thoughts or guidance.

I am using file .gdb more and more but I find it frustrating that when I want to add a feature class to read from a .gdb the select process takes a very long time just to navigate through my existing folder structure to find the .gdb. Why is that?

When I add a shapefile reader or DWG reader in the same manner, it takes very little time to navigate my way to the shapefile location. I do not understand the difference. If they all took the same amount of time I might conclude it had something to do with my directory structure.

FME 2020.1 to 2021.2 - GeometryValidator giving different results

Hi,We have noticed a difference of behaviour in the GeometryValidator transformer in FME 2020.1 and 2021.2 without upgrading the transformer. A sample geometry in WKT : LINESTRING (45.02687462450092 0.06721615791320801,45.025979838437365 0.06841778755187988,45.02593434046724 0.06878256797790527,45.02601017039738 0.06899714469909668,45.02638931854123 0.06853580474853515,45.02621491070693 0.06806373596191406,45.02639690147848 0.0685572624206543,45.02660922331399 0.0685572624206543,45.02700353320486 0.06818175315856933) The transformer is configured as such :And we have the following results in FME 2020.1/2021.2 :In FME 2021.2, the geometry fails OGC Simple while it doesn't in FME 2020.1. One of the issue with that, is that the geometry is being repaired in FME 2020.1 but not in FME 2021.2. I have noticed that version 8 of the transformer made the OGC checks stricter, but the transformer was not upgraded and is still at version 4. Is there any way to restore the old behaviour?

How to generate raster tiles (GeoTIFF) in FME?

I have two shapefile data, and one label which I created through MapTextLabeller. I have then in DataInspector the view with these 2 shapefiles and text above them. The question is can i generate raster tiles from it, and store it as GeoTIFF?

Are there users that can show an example using ggplot in FME Server?

I have a workbench script that makes multiple ggplots (graphs) for end-user reports. The Rcaller works great in FME Server without error, but it will not export the plots. The output excel files export, but not the plots.

How to merge a list of attributes based on just the attribute name

I would like to combine 2 datasets: one containing about 500 monument_id's and one with about 20 types with scores and remark fields that should be added to this monument_ids (to create a list of about 10.000 items). As there is no attribute value to match (so FeatureJoiner or ReatureMerger doesn't work); can these somehow be combined based on predefined matching attribute names? Or what would be a good idea in this case? Thanks in advance!

Hello there are vertex at equal distance (0.100) but these are unnecessary, only one vertex in 1m is enough. How can I remove the vertex in between, I looked for vertex remover, but I think I am doing something wrong, can you help me please? Additional information: There are always 10 vertexes in 1m.

Grouping features in a table based on "*" or another symbol delamination

Hello, couldn't really describe the problem in the Question field but to sum it up, I have a table of X/Y/Z that represent contours (see on photo)Meaning that between the "*" there is an independent contour, first one having 5 vertices, next one having 7 and so forth. Now I want to enter these vertices into a contour generator, but in the way that that Transformer creates separate contours from the "*" grouping, instead of a whole binge of criss-cross connected lines. Probably best way to do this would to give each vertex group a common ID and then run contour generator with Group by "ID". But how on earth do I group based on the logic:if X is within two * then it belong to the same group, then after the latter * there is a new group with a seperate ID and so forth? -Please send help :D

Output WebMapTiles to one MBTiles database

I have been asked to convert network vector data to raster tiles using the MBTiles writer. For my specified dataset zoom levels 5 - 10 have been requestedProducing this hasn't been an issue but the problem is that the requestor wants a single MBTiles file and my workspace outputs 313, the number of rasters generated.How can output a single MBTiles file that still contains all the zoom_level, tile_column and tile_row attribution required to use the raster files in a leaflet map?

ECW GDA2020 transition enquiry

We are currently using FME to run the process to convert GDA94 Zone 55 ( EPSG : 28355) ECW file into GDA2020 Zone 55 ( EPSG : 7855) , the output ECW was projected to the right location, but the CRS was not recognized by QGIS or other GIS platform. I have the FME bench as attached for your reference, could you please let me know if I missed any configuration settings or should use different transformer?

ECW file not resulting in the correct coordinate system when using ESRI Reprojector

I am trying to project a .ecw file from LL WGS84 to a custom local coordinate system. Using the ESRI reprojector I am able to select the custom output coordinate system (it is Nad27 UTM feet) and the proper geographic transformation. The log file of the result seems to indicate that the process is using the correct parameters, however the resulting dataset is UTM meters and has an EPSG 26717 code (even though I explicitly set the parameter to 'Never use EPSG code' for the projection). It seems to always revert to ecw format of 2 so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it. Many thanks for any assistance.

More complex SQL querying in a ArcSDE Reader WHERE-Clause?

I'm looking for some help to use SQL in 'where clauses' for FME Readers.I'm trying to read from an ArcSDE database, using SQL operations like GROUP BY or DISTINCT. But I am under the impression that ArcSDE is not compatible with more complex statements than the simple terms like: equals/is null/not null/ in range / and so on. On the documentation page I read however: "Enter any SQL where clause that constrains the attributes of the layers selected in the layer list." I have found the SQLCreator and SQLExecutor transformers, however these do not support ArcSDE format. I'm starting to think that the ArcSDE format simply does not suppport 'advanced' SQL querying in FME. Is this correct? So far I have found 1 alternative: a PythonCaller using these ArcSDESQLExecute functions from ArcPy. Could someone tell me if this is indeed the only workaround? Are there other workarounds? I've not found any further documentation on this topic, perhaps someone e

Is there a work around for adding feature types and attributes to an IMDF writer?

Although the IMDF writer has a fixed schema, the option to copy attributes from another feature class is still available and will preform the action. However, when I try to copy attributes from any other dataset or feature type in the reader, they will appear as being added, but when running, they do not appear in the GeoJSON. Does there need to be some other process that will tell the IMDF writer to accept these attributes?

Download link not available in workspace app, however available when running a workspace

Another post: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008is1jiSAA/why-is-the-download-url-not-being-returned-in-an-fme-server-app has already asked this question, but to date there was no definitive answer yet on that forum. I included the "data download" during publish, so that is not the issue. It's just weird that the download link is not available in the workspace app, but is available when running the workspace from the workspace repository. Does anyone might know what the cause of it is?

Regex Different Result FME vs Online

filtering a string based on conditions

Hello. I'm thinking about how to solve a filter that is defined on this data:- KASON DJL ?IBABA ?LUKID ?DIPIR ?KELUK ?KOVAR ?PAS PADCA NIFKU BANKO - applies here if the name starts without "?" (KASON) and somewhere in the string a name appears with a "?" (e.g. ?IBABA, ?LUKID.. ) and at the same time the end of the string is a name without "?", so remove "?" throughout the chain. The result is this KASON DJL IBABA LUKID DIPIR KELUK KOVAR PAS PADCA NIFKU BANKOThere will be more such definitions and combinations, does anyone have an idea how to solve it? A regular expression? Or a combination of some transformers?Thank you
