FME can't read SpeedZones shapefile

I have a shapefile that can’t be read by FME Workbench 2024.1.1 or 2022.2.3. The copied log is attached.The “Speed Zones” shapefile comes from https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/speed-zones where you have to login and download the "Speed Zones data" as a ZIP file. Once unzipped you get the standard 4 files.When I load the shapefile into QGIS, it shows the following properties: 434MB MultiLineString 442,943 features EPSG:3308 - GDA94 / NSW Lambert Fields: Type Text (string) 200 length Status Text (string) 200 length Direction Text (string) 200 length Speed Text (string) 200 lengthThe only issue I can see is that there is no unique identifier field but I didn’t think that was an issue for FME. Any suggestions on how to read this file into FME?ThanksDoug

Standard Deviation calculations

Hi,I have an NDVI raster and need to clip it with many polygons. After that, I need to calculate the standard deviation for each piece of the raster (clipped by the polygons), and in the end, I need to correctly assign the deviation value to the attributes of the corresponding polygon. Thank´s

httpcaller to geoserver for getcapabilities to xml

I'm trying to build a service catalogue of our municipality's services (WMS and WFS) for easy search and access. I have successfully used xml readers and httpcaller along with xml flatteners to extract the information into a queryable json table and presenting it with datatables (https://datatables.net/ ). Very handy and fast. But now I've run into some trouble that I can't really understand or work around. Getting the info from well over 600 services has been easy but the last one I added does not work. See attatched workspace. "TK OPEN" works just fine. "Miljö" does not. It seems to be related to XML and HTTPS, but that really isn't my strongest field. getcapabilities.fmwAm I doing something wrong? Is there, perhaps, a simpler or other way to do this?

GeoJSON Reader - Cannot Add Additional Attributes

Hello Friends!My current setup: FME(R) 2024.0.1.0 (20240328 - Build 24202 - WIN64) ...from ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability Extension I am attempting to use the GeoJSON Reader to capture information from api.weather.gov/alerts/active (Weather.gov API). I am not having any problems getting data. The problem I am having is populating all of the available fields within the API - in case I ever do get them from the API. The first time I connected to the URL from the Reader, I got most of the attributes, missing maybe 10 fields. Adding another GeoJSON Reader and connecting to the URL an hour later, I get a different set of attributes. I do understand that the data is changing and their API is not delivering any unnecessary nested attributes.When opening the Reader’s Properties and then User Attributes - there is no way to add attributes. Am I missing something? Is there another way to add attributes?Thank you,--Adam

JSON formating

Hey. I'll try again and better. On the attached fmwt I am trying to assemble the correct geoJson structure - the data structure formatting is done on the "JsonTemplater5" transformer. The sample file for the data structure is the attachment "example_collection"( better to look here: https://github.com/UASGeoZones/ED-318/blob/main/examples/Example_Collection.json?short_path=e3f0eef), according to which I am creating a template (JsonTemplater5). The output from the workspac is "rmz.json" - the whole data structure is not created on jsonTemplater5, so it does not match the complete sample file.My question is. Does it really have to be this complicated and lengthy to define a template on jsonTemplater5 to send data to? Wouldn't it be possible to export the schema using a combination of some transformers from example_collection ( sample data )? Or if I have some schema available, can't I use this schema so that I don't have to create a template in such a complicated way? attachments: rmz_te

Running a workspace via Task Scheduler

Hi All!I’m new to FME and have (hopefully) a simple question. I have created a workspace that reprojects data from one projection to another in ESRI Geodatabase (sde). I have embedded the connection parameters. The workspace successfully runs. I have created a batch file, using the command prompt information from the result of the translation log. The batch file successfully runs when executed manually. When I schedule via Task Scheduler, its fails (0x1). Return code 2147942401The user account that runs the task is my own username. On local PC. Runs with highest privileges set. Under Action, it points to the location of the batch file. What am I missing?Thanks,Leanne

Geodatabase Error (-2147219884): The Field already exists

Not a question, but just an issue I thought worth sharing. When converting my data to a geodatabase, I kept getting the following error message: "Geodatabase Error (-2147219884): The Field already exists". Not a very helpful error message and googling this didn't help much.It turned out that my sewer pipe input file had a field named 'shape', and geodatabases don't like that! Using the AttributeRenamer to change the field to 'shape1', everything then went tickety-boo!

DateTimeConverter and NULL values

I want to convert the format of a date-attribute from %Y%m%d to %Y-%m-%d by using the DateTimeConverter. This works fine, as long as there are no Null-values. As soon as there is just one Null-value, all other values are set to Null as well (even though the option “Passthrough Nulls, Empties or Missing” is set to Yes).I tried to filter out the features with the Null-values, convert just the features with values and merge all features after the DateTimeConverter again, but here too, all attributes are set to Null.If I set the Null-values to a dummy-date, then it works. But I don't want dummy-dates, but Null-values, so how do I do this?Thanks in advance, Vera

Export GML with Date attribut using Dynamic Reader and Writer

Hi everyone,I have a workflow that exports data from Oracle to another formats, like Shp, GML... using dynamic readers and writers. This workflow recive some parameters, like table name, that is used to read de Oracle table and to write the file name. The question is about GML file and date values. When the Oracle table has datetime attribute, FME exports as text, by default. I've achived that FME exports GML with attribute as date type, but this attribute has null value, beacause the format of date is wrong. That is, the exported date value is "19630904000000" but it shoud be "1963-09-04".As I said, I use dynamic readers and writers, beacuse I don't know what table will be exported and I can’t see the table structure, neither, when data goes out by Generic port of Reader. So I can't use StringReplacer and DateTimeConverter, because I would need to know the name of attibute. Anyone has any idea how to modify the format of the date?

Where has the FMX file documentation gone to ?

Hi all.Today I needed to build a custom Python based transformer from scratch, after a two year hiatus, and needed to explore some new things in the FMX file part.So as always I opened https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/p/documentationBut apart from the Format GUI Type documentation, I can only find a new “.fmxj” documentation, but not the proper FMX file ditto. And fmxj looks nothing like FMX, it seems.Why has this crucial piece of documentation been removed ?Can I find it somewhere else ?Cheers

How to dynamically read excel sheets?

Hi,I have the values of an attribute which corresponds to the names of sheets of an excel file. In other words, the attribute of interest has the values attrib1, attrib2, ..., attribn that also corresponds to the sheet tab names of another excel file.What I would like to do is to be able to dynamically read the sheet tab names of the excel file based on the values attrib1, attrib2, ... attribn that varies per feature. Those values are unique per feature so I won't need to read the same excel sheet twice.Any ideas?Thanks

Automatically remove unused attributes

According to several solved questions in this forum, there are two recommended ways to automatically remove attributes that only conatain NULL or empty values: using a small python script or using the NullAttributeMapper. Unfortunately both suggestions do not work for me (FME Desktop/Form 2022.2). Both the PythonCaller and the NullAttributeMapper keep the Null-Attributes and they are present when I write to Excel (see attached workspace). Is there something wrong in my workflow or is there an updated solution? Thanks for any suggestions!

When I try to set a local value in form, it ignores this value and throws an error saying it can’t access the share resources file path. I’ve tried creating a deployment parameter that is type: database connection, but this doesn’t work either. Here’s the error:This was working a week ago and now it refuses to acknowledge the local value. Many thanks, Sam

How to know what is inside zip file for processing

Hi all,New on the forum but not on FME :) (although not an expert). I come acrross a doubt on how to work with zip files. I know FME reads zip files directly but only if you know what kind of file is inside it. So If I have some URL with zip files but those can have dwg, shp, png...I cant really figure it out how to say FME ok, you shape file go this path, dwg this other path... I know I could use httpcaller and store them, unzip and work with them after unzipping by filtering out the inputs but I want to save disk space and dont really want to unzip.Any idea will be welcome.Thanks!
