FME Form

The files are ziped .shp files broken up by state. I need to merge them into one nation wide dataset and safe to a geodatabase. A general workflow would be very helful. Or a list of Readers, Transformers and Writers and things to pay attention to.

I have an excel file that does not have any merged cells. Any cell that is left blank is supposed to take the value from the previous row. How do you do that in FME without looping through a list? This is what I haveAnd, this is what I want (with grey-color being the items I want to automate with FME): 

I have data going through feature writer that creates my csv, that then is uploaded to azure file storage using its connector in fme, once I successfully upload the csv, I want to delete that file from FME_DATASOURCE where I wrote it in the earlier step. How can I do that ?

I am trying to access each row of the excel data I read with pythoncaller. How can I do that         coulumnData = feature.getAttribute('Column1')        data = str(coulumnData).split()        for row in data:            print(row)and how do I read FLOAT values as well? I do not understand what kind of object is returned by feature.getAttribute. If I print coulumnData, it is printed nicely row by row. But, how do I access those row of data? I want to do something like         coulumnData = feature.getAttribute('Column1')        data = str(coulumnData).split()        print(data[10]) 

I'm able to setup and use "OpenAICompletionsConnector" succesfully with text-davinci-003, but since the completions API models will be deprecated at the begging of the year 2024 I wanted to try Chat completions with gpt-3.5-turbo as described here.I understood that is hould use another transformer called "OpenAIChatGPTConnector". I use role "user " and as "content" I use the same prompt as for Completion to resolve not well-structured addresses. With this setup the Connector somehow aggregates all the features from input port an

When I read data from a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database and I inspect the features using the Inspector, all attributes seems to be of data type "string: (UTF-8)" when looking at the "Feature information" panel. But when I look at the "Table view" panel, the id column (defined as serial4 in the database) is formatted as a number (the value is aligned to the right). Boolean values are read as either "t" or "f" (still "string: (UTF-8)") while when reading boolean values from a GeoPackage they appear as "Yes" or "No" (and the data type says boolean). If I look at the debug logging I see that a boolean postgres attribute has an entry like:Attribute(string: UTF-8): `my-field' has value `bool,BTREE' While a GeoPackage attribute has an entry like:Attribute(string: UTF-8): `my-field' has value `boolean' Is this really the expected o

Hi.. I have an FMW workflow that reads a shapefile with H3 polygons. Each polygon has a HEX color attribute (eg #000000). I need to do 2 operations: Style the shapefile filling each polygon with color using the HEX attributeRender and write the layer as a raster image (Geotiff or JPG) Can this be done, and how? Thanks, tC/.

Hi, I would like to use FME in order to retrieve some data by sending HTTP request to a REST API.  A GET request can only retrieve 1000 entries per call and follow the FIFO method (First In, First Out). So I need to GET 1000 entries, process the data and then DELETE 1000 entries and start the cycle again until there is no data left. I setup a loop in FME:I've read on this forum that a blocking transformer can not be used in a loop without beeing exported, so I've exported the custom transformer GET_API that contains (.FMX): So each loop should produce 1000 features.Outside the loop it works well when I only send 1 request. But inside the loop I get this error messa

I am trying to read a GeoTIFF that has LERC compression.I created a workbench in FME 2021 that read and mosaiced some GeoTIFFs with LERC compression and wrote them to GeoTIFFs with LZW compression. I was able to do that successfully.However I'm trying to do the same thing now in FME Workbench 2023.0 with the same files and I'm getting the following errors: 2023-08-15 13:18:41|   0.1|  0.0|INFORM|GEOTIFF reader: Opening file 'C:\Temp\DEMs\CB11_10000_0502.tiff'2023-08-15 13:18:41|   0.1|  0.0|WARN  |GEOTIFF reader: C:\Temp\DEMs\CB11_10000_0502.tiff: C:\Temp\DEMs\CB11_10000_0502.tiff:LERC compression support is not configured2023-08-15 13:18:41|   0.1|  0.0|ERROR |GEOTIFF reader: C:\Temp\DEMs\CB11_10000_0502.tiff: Cannot open TIFF file due to missing codec.2023-08-15 13:18:41|   0.1|  0.0|ERROR |GEOTIFF reader: Failed to open the dataset 'C:\Temp\DEMs\CB11_10000_0502.tiff'. Please ensure source data is valid and correct reader is se

I have a flow that pulls from an excel doc to an oracle database table. I have created LOVs based on some of the fields. Game plan is to create drop down list in my application.Question: How can I, within the flow, compare and replace the excel fields Descriptions with the LOV table ID value?Thanks

When I am using a regex in a string searcher, the output is as expected. When I am using the same regex as @FindRegularExpression in the Attribute Manager, my script always fails. What do I need to modify in the Attribute Manager regex? Thanks

I have a workbench that goes as follows:Read in attributes from a CSV. The attributes are locations, and Join those records with a buffer and spatial relator to find potential conflicts near the input locationWrite out the records to a PPT fileThe input table would look something like this  Location 1 | Table Text 1 | Table Text 2Location 2 | Table Text 1 | Table Text 2Location 3 | Table Text 1 | Table Text 2 And ideally, the final PPT file would look like this:Title Slide: Location 1Table Slide: Table Text 1Table Slide: Table Text 2Title Slide: Location 2Table Slide: Table Text 1Table Slide: Table Text 2Title Slide: Location 3Table Slide: Table Text 1Table Slide: Table Text 2and so on It's in step 3 that I run into issues. I can't find a way to dynamically filter attributes so that I can write to separate sl

Hi everyone!I'm new to FME and I have a question on how to group entries of a table based on two columns. This is the table:Now I want a new column with the group ID. It should look like this:Explanation:If the fruit is the same, they should belong to the same group --> Apples are in group 1.If the Buyer of group 1 also buys other fruits, then these fruits should also belong to group 1. -->Anna also buys Bananas, therefore Bananas belong to group 1 I tried different transformers, but did not find a solution. Can someone help?

Hello , i have many lines and many points .i have used anchored snapper then topology builder then edge output as in input network for shortest pathfinder and I used every point connector transformer for points to get lines to use it as input for from to shortest path finder . my question : i need to find all routes that possible .shortest path finder has found many paths but there are still too many no paths .How could I find all routes between points ?then extract ids from each route .i hope there is a good idea let me know .i have spent much time but no success .fme 2021

In Portal for ArcGIS 10.6.1 in the backups folder there is a walarchive folder. The files in this folder accumulate daily. Annually 14,000 files are created. Each year these 14,000 files together equal approximately 143GB. There is no setting to change this in 10.6.1.   Every January, for example, in order maintain a reasonable amount of disk space, I manually delete the 14,000 files from the prior year. It is a fairly straightforward task to delete these files, but I am starting to wonder if I could create a workbench and let FME do this.   The file names are random digits and sometimes a letter is included in the name. There does not seem to be a pattern to the file names. I cannot reference the file names in a workbench because of this.   The only way to identify which files to delete is by the Data Modified column in Windows File Explorer, example, delete all files between 1/1/2022 and 12/31/2022 would be a single year.   H

I have the following problem: I have multiple csv files with multiple columns. I want to dynamically change which columns to read.I have a user parameter to define which columns to read.  Even though the " Attributes to Expose" Parameter of my FeatureReader gets updated correctly the Reader dosn't read the correct columns.Only after opening the properties of the Reader and closing it again by clicking "Ok" the Read reads the correct columns.  I'm using FME Desktop 2020.2.3.0 on Windows 10 Maybe someone can tell me if this is a bug or if I'm just overlooking something. Many thanks in advance !

Hii all,How can I optimize the performance of my FME workflows when dealing with large datasets? Any best practices or recommended settings to consider?Thanks in adavnce.

I'm working in FME2023 build 23283 using an Intergraph SQL Warehouse reader. I have a rather lengthy process that deals with comparing a single 'target' feature class against multiple other 'candidate' feature classes (defined by published parameter via Features Types to Read on the reader. This process needs to be reiterated for several 'target' feature classes. So instead of trying to implement Group By throughout the workspace, I've decided to use a WorkspaceRunner to run the workspace separately for each 'target' feature class.  The issue I'm running into is passing the Features Types to Read parameter from the parent workspace to the child. I have simply copied all the published parameters from the child to the parent workspace. This is the command line being passed (non-pertinent info redacted): 

I am using a featurewriter to update 3 three fields. For this update, I am only exposing the fields that need to be updated, because I have found that works best.However, I need the rest of the fields in the dataset downstream.I ran an attributeexposer to reveal the other fields, but they all come in with null values. These fields do exist in the dataset, and they do have values. How do I access the fields in such a way that I can see the values in them?Thank you,Randy McGregor

Hi everybody, I was wondering if anyone can help me with clamping 3D Building Tiles to the Cesium World Terrain. We are developing a 3D web application with Cesium JS and we need to have our 3D buildings sit flush with the Cesium World Terrain. Our input into the application are 3DTiles. I know you can clamp citygml files to the terrain with the in-built clamp to ground tool in Cesium ion but is there any way to get 3DTiles clamped to the ground in cesium JS or with the help of FME?We use FME to create our 3D Tiles but we have not found a way to get the buildings to line up with the terrain. Is anyone here aware of anything I can do in FME to get my 3D Tiles output lined up with the Cesium Terrain?  I would really appreciate some help on this! Thank you,Jan

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to export fbx to cesium tiles.  My FBX model structures are follow11-NE-12A\\BXXXXXX11-NE-17A\\BXXXXXX I would like to export at the same folder structure in Cesium tiles.It gives me an error when I use the fanout expression. And now, I only able to create the following folder structure. 11-NE-12A\\BXXXXXX\\BXXXXXX11-NE-17A\\BXXXXXX\\BXXXXXXMay I know how to fix it? I have attached my sample data and fmw in this email. And I hope some experts can give me a hand. Thank you

Hello ,  i got 6 lines at rejected port from network topology calculator transformer .the reason is invalid line geometry .How could I fix it ? What does the reason and what should I check ?FME 2021 thanks in advance .

Hi.  I'm having trouble seeing views in a REVIT file with the FME Form reader. I can't see the views of the Area Plans as per the Project Browser (see the attached image) but I can see the Floor Plans and 3D views. I've set the Read Geometry As: parameter to Floor Plans and then specified a view to read. The ones that I need aren't visible though. How do I expose these? via attribute or a different method? Many thanks,Michael
