How to set colour value automatically for polygons in a ESRI Shapefile?

Hi everybody, I have 6 values which are standing for colour values for making maps. So each number is standing for a colour. The values are always the same and the numbers are 59, 63, 70, 72, 76 and 77. I have a lot of polygone ESRI shapefiles which are showing the administration of each country (OSM Data for example the states of India, which is the first administration level of India). To have the same style in each map for printing, I would like to use the colour values (59, 63, etc.) for every administration of each country. So each shapefile has a attribute field which is called "colour value". Now the tricky part is: the polygons (so the states of India) should have always one of the values, but the direct neighbour state should have always another value. Otherwise the colour of the states are the same of maybe two of them, which are neighbour states, and you can't see directly the difference on the map after colouring. I put some picture in the attachment, where y

Resample raster - problem with rotation

Hi, I have lots of large raster datasets that I want to resample and save as PNG. The problem is that their rotation is wrong, and trying to modify the angle according to the image properties gives incorrect result. The images are oblique images.The raster in geotiff format read into FME:Doing no rotation gives this result in the final png: The image after rotating it. RasterPropertyExtractor gives _rotation_x=222.30258951435636 and _rotation_y=223.52422211966618. None of these values give the desired result with a straight image. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is there a simpler way of doing this? Reading the image and disregarding the rotation?

turn a IfcGlobalUniqueId to a normal GUID and back

I have a question; how can we turn a IfcGlobalUniqueId to a normal GUID with FME?And is it possible to turn it back in a IfcGlobalUniqueId with FME, because of the buildup of a IfcGlobalUniqueId. I am hoping someone can help me by either passing a bit of Python-code or maybe Safe can create a Custum Transformer to help with this problem? We want to use a IFC for our asset applications and our 3d city-model.So, we can use the IFC from our engineering-team to fill the other applications with attributes. And when we need to develop new streets, we can give them the information back. Beste Regards,Bert @Takashi Iijima @daveatsafe

Water Network Analysis

Hi! I'm desperately trying to find a way to identify the impact of disabling a specific network on the surrounding networks. So far by using the NetworkTopologyCalculator, I've been able to isolate all my water networks, separated by water valves. But here is an example of what I'm trying to do:If I have to replace the water pipe on the network A, I will close the water valves to isolate it. The impact would logically be that there would be no water reaching networks B-C-D-E. Is there any way for me to dynamically identify this in FME?Thanks in advance for your help!

Update metadata of a feature class in an ArcGIS Pro File Geodatabase

We have some automatic data-updates on an ESRI File Geodatabase. I also want to update some parts of the metadata also automatically as part of the update procedure. I want to change Edition, Publication date, Revision date and dataset ID. I succeeded getting the right information to insert in the XML updater, but the XML updater doesn't seem to do anything in the metadata. I don't see any result. Could anybody help me out? I added the workspace to this question. Addition 9/12/2022:I just discovered that, if I fill out these fields manually in ArcGIS Pro, that this information is not found in the metadata that is read by FME. This is what's filled out and seen in ArcGIS Pro:I used the mehod with the XML Formatter to see what's in the metadata, and this gives the log attached. You'll see the information shown in ArcGIS Pro, can not be found in the XML read by FME.Exporting the metadata out of ArcGIS Pro to XML, contains other (and right) information: <identificat

how to define pathnames in FME server?

I am fairly new to Fme server and I have mostly only experience with FME desktop. I was running succesfully a script with Fme desktop. However when I published the script to fme server and I run the script, then I get the following error: I have slightly changed the names of the path due to security issues. DESIGN WRITER: Failed to copy the seed file '\\\\NotRealdomainName\\aplroot$\\A-APLDATA\\FMESERVER\\repositories\\Notrealrepositoryname\\Seed.dgn' to the destination data file 'C:\\Klic_Tijdelijk\\_Bomenanalyse.dgn'. Either the path to destination does not exist or the file is in use by other program I think the issue lies that I wouldn't be have to use hard pathnames in FME Server. Does anyone know how I should define the path names in FMe server?

Using PointOnAreaOverlayer, I would like to know how to extract polygon IDs and assign them to corresponding points that are within each polygon.

Force UPPER CASE on MSSQL writer

I have comprehensive worskpace to write many tables in PostGIS, where all the target attributes are in lower case. Now I need to migrate this workspace to work also on MS SQL. I was able to change the writer and bulk update feature types table qualifier. The schemas are just similar to Postgres DB, but I'm getting errors because of the lower case of the attributes while writing to MS SQL.Importing new feature types from schemas is not a way because I need to maintain the attribute mappings on every feature type. For example, the table name in lower case is not an issue but column names are. I would need that the writer forces UPPER CASE on writing to DB or bulk change all the attribute names in all writer feature type to UPPER CASE. I´m not feeling to do all the mappings again from the scratch, if the schemas are the same.On the attached picture you can see the attributes from changed writer feature type (PostgreSQL->MSSQL, left) and new imported feature type (right).

How to run the entire workspace as an iteration?

Sorry if the question does not express what I want to achieve, but of the top of my head I did not know how to ask differently.The issue I have is, that features provided by the very left reader are used to identify raster files they intersect with, which afterwards are mosaicked and processed. There are a lot of raster files and a lot of features coming from the reader, and I would like to run this entire process rather feature by feature, instead of feeding all the features into the process.What is the best way to achieve that?

How to convert string to date format in FME?

Happy New Year all. Can anyone please how can I change a date column (dd/mm/yyyy) from string to date time format within a workbench. The column is originally coming from a CSV file but after reading in FME, its getting converted into string. I want to apply test filter to get values within a certain date period but because the date is in string, I cannot do it. Do you have any idea how to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance.

DWG Dimension - Read text height of annotative dimension

Hi, I am looking for a solution to read the correct text height of a dimension from the Model Space. If the dimension is not-annotative, you can simply use the fme_text_size attribute. When a dimension is set to Annotative, the fme_text_size is rescaled.In AutoCAD:While in FME:--> Scaling factor = 10However, I noticed that most of the time in the autocad_extended_data_list{} , you can select the last "real:" value in the list to find the actual text height.So far so good, but now I have a new input file, where I cannot find a correct real value in this list. I have attached this DWG.--> scaling factor = 5 I have disabled the "Explode Dimensions" in the reader parameters, butI have checked an this has no effect. For dimensions I can't find some kind of annotative scaling factor to multiply the fme_text_size. Any ideas? Jasper

Extract key value pairs from XML

Morning, I'm trying to extract logger data from an api returning XML. I can use the XMLFlattener to match my message element and return the pt element as an xml fragment. However I need to then expose all the key value pairs in the <pt></pt> element into attributes and if I try to use the AttributeExposer there's a huge list, which will change when i run the api with different data ranges (ie more key value pairs to manually expose).Is there any way I can automatically expose all of the elements within the <pt></pt> xml element one column each of time, value, ch, chtype etc to insert into a db table? Cheers!

How to group features based upon count and distance?

I have a linear asset, such as a road, that needs work done to it. The work group can only travel 5 miles per day and can only do a maximum of 5 jobs per day. I am trying to group the locations using these constraints. Some groups may be 5 miles with 5 work locations, some may be 5 miles with fewer than 5 work locations, and some may be less than 5 miles with 5 work locations. I have both the linear asset and the work locations as spatial data with all the appropriate attributes (road name, mile points, etc). The linear asset has measure values that correspond to mile points. What is the best way to dynamically group the work location data based upon the above mentioned constraints?

Calculating percentiles using RasterStatisticsCalculator or other tool

I have a very large (~90 gigapixel) single band geotiff file and a vector layer of ~16m polygons. For each polygon I would like to calculate the 10th percentile of the band of the raster within it and output to a table (e.g. csv). I've set up a Clipper which seems to successfully cut the raster for each polygon and I was hoping to use the RasterStatisticsCalculator to get the 10th percentile. However, percentiles do not appear to be an option. Can anyone suggest how this might be possible please?

Hello there we have the geo-location of the car and we do have multiple users we need to create a notification based on the geofence value set by each user, The car location is streamed in reel time, we don't know in advance the number of users is there any way we could create a dynamic filter that will notify the users based on their setting to be more specific user 1: notified when the car is within 500 m user 2: notified when the car is within 1km....the only problem we have is we don't know in advance the user and the value of the geofencecould we send those values to the filter as for example JSON ??Thanks

schema mapper "domain to domain"?

I have power lines for a utility that I want to merge into our esri gis system. For any given feature class there are some field that will map straight across without modification. But there are many cases (many fields) where they have, what I think of as an esri domain (a code - integer linked to a description- string). Then on our side, we have a normal arcgis domain. So, for example, they may have an attribute value of 2 that I need to change to a 4 when it is loaded into our gis. At first, I used the attribute value mapper. This worked great. But it does not appear to work well for many fields. So, now I am trying to do it with schema mapper. I did the tutorials but still having a hard time getting it to work.So, questions are:1) Is schema right tool for this problem?2) If so... what is wrong with my workflow:Lookup table test (only one field so far)ActionsWhat I am trying to say is:if ID_PHASE = 1 then PHASEDESIGNATION = 99 Thanks for the help!
