FME Form

When using the "Select file from Web > Browse Amazon S3" option as the source for a reader, is there anyway to pass parameters in to the dialog?I have some FME Flow/Server workspaces that are called with the bucket name and path as parameters, I'd like to be able to use those parameters instead of hard-coding the bucket and path. Currently we use the S3Connector with parameters to download the files to local temp and then a FeatureReader to read them, but it would be nice to read them directly. Thanks,Andy

Has anyone run into CTRL+V not working in 2022.1? Seems to be okay within transformers but I can't use a shortcut to copy and paste a transformer itself. What's weird is if I use CTRL+C, the paste icon above correctly pastes the transformer. Just can't use the CTRL+V shortcut. Worked without issue in 2021.

Dear all,You have an article explaining how to create a WMS Service. Two operations are explained: GetCapabilities and GetMap (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19640/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server.html).However, we also need the GetfeatureInfo operation. Is it possible with FME? I have not found information about this operation. It would be very helpful to have a .fmw for the GetfeatureInfo operation, in case it's possible to create it.Thanks in advance and best regards,Montse Marco

Hello all,I am trying to update a feature layer on the ArcGIS Enterprise Portal.I have the feature layer and an Excel I'm using for the updated information.  The change detector detects the one change I've added to my test version but when I try to update the online layer I get this error message:  "ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: 'updateResults' error for a feature in 'C1_Cluster_Flurstueck'. The error code from the server was '10500' and the message was: 'Cannot convert a value of type 'java.lang.String' to 'INTEGER'.'" The values that I'm trying to update in the excel and in the layer are both text fields and not numerical hence I dont understand where the integer part is coming from. Can someone tell me if I'm using the right transformers and what I should change to make it work? Thanks in advance! (I'm fairly new to FME so any help regarding the workspace is appreciated) 

Hi, I am a new FME user and hope someone can assist with my issues. I have to update weekly utilities data from .12dxml to geodatabase. From thegeodatabase, I have to create a map in ArcGIS Pro and publish it to ArcGISOnline. I just run the FME and overwrite the map whenever I receive data toupdate. I have no issues doing it since I just overwrite the data for everyupdate.However, the team requires me to add the date to each of the layer names e.g.:utilities_electricity_20221025.Previously it was just utilities_electricity.Hence, I couldn’t overwrite the data into the gdb. It will create a new layerinstead since the layer names are different every time I update the dataweekly. eg:utilities_electricity_20221025(for week 1); utilities_electricity_20221104 (for week 2). My questions are:1.      How to overwrite/replace the layer with a different name? E.g.: utilities_electricity_20221025(old data) replaced with utilities_electricity_20221104(new data) in gdb?2.      How to make sure the m

I've built an AutoCAD based automation in FME Form and use blocks with text for some of the output features. The text aligns how it was designed in the block in the FME Form output.   However, when running in FME Flow the text shifts.If I move the block slightly, select Reset Bl;ock or edit the text in AutoCAD then it snaps back to the correctly designed position.I'm using the same template dwg in FME Form and FME Flow.

Hi, I'm trying to run the attached workspace on a series of files to check the coordinate system then output the filename and whether it's georeferenced or not.  I want to extend this functionality later, but am struggling to just run it on files instead of the features within. Can someone please explain the best way to achieve this - my current way is to run a separate workspace runner and direct it to this, I don't think I'm quite getting it though still. I'm also running a different workspace for internal feature checks, and assume this would be the way to go - to break to an internal feature check, and file check workbench (can't think of clean way to organise the data otherwise.) Thanks!  

Hi all. I've got the measure calculator working with the standard measure generator/pointonlineoverlayer/measure extractor routine. In many cases points are close to two or more line however there is a common attribute between a point and the line. How do I go about using the common attribute detail to calculate the measure. That is a want the measure of Point 1,2...n with attribute "x" calculated on line 1,2...n with attribute "x". Kind of like preventing them from snapping to the incorrect line. The other issue is not all points fall on the line but are very close so a tolerance needs to be introduced. Hope that makes sense. Thanks,Michael

Hello everyone, I have a dataset with a lot of columns which do not contain data in every row. It is structured something like this: What Im trying to do is create HTML-Reports for each Row but excluding the empty columns in each individual report, basically creating something like this: Table in HTML Report 1Table in HTML Report 2Table in HTML Report 3 Group Processing gets me halfway there but sadly keeps unnecessary columns. Is there a way to do this in FME? Any help appreciated.

Hello, does someone please knows how i can do if I want to detect the point with min Z value in a PoinCloud and calculate the distance ( along the Z Axis ) to the closest point ? Thank you

Hi, I have an attribute by the number 0821 and similar which I want to add next to another counter attribute that starts on 01 and goes on 02, 03 etc. My attrbute KnKod_1 looses the leading 0 to the left. See expression in Arithmetic ed. in the pic.

We want to convert Date in format 2023-09-13(YYYY-MM-DD) to Timestamp in milliseconds 1694563200000 using FME Transformer but no FME transformer is able to convert date to milliseconds.For example 2023-09-13 -> 1694563200000

Hello Forum, I’ve read in a points dataset (properties) and a estates dataset (polygons). I need to do two things: 1)add an area calculation in a new field to the estates polys. This has been achieved with an AreaCalculator. 2) add a count of the amount of properties (points) falling within each estate polygon using an PointOnAreaOverlayer.  See workspace image attached. I’m finding that the output is counting some estates (polys) two or three times. However when looking at the source data these features are there only once, which is correct. See Inspectors image attached. I’ve played around with GroupProcessing and some other settings, but couldn’t get it right. Can you advise, please. Thanks,Stuart  

Like the title states, a while back I encountered a situation in which I obtained an SSL connect error when using the HTTPCaller.In my case I wanted to fetch some 'table information' from a website, and I noticed that using the HTMLExtractor for this job did work for me.  In the end the HTMLExtractor sufficed for my usecase, but I'm still curious on why the HTTPCaller resulted in the SSL Connect Error. Also, I can imagine that maybe in the future I would like to use the more advanced functionality of the HTTPCaller here (e.g. 'Retry Failed Requests' or 'Rate Limiting'). See below screenshot and attached workspace for some more information.Is there maybe someone that has a clue on why I obtain an SSL Connect error with the HTTPCaller? Within the HTTPCaller, I tried tweaking the settings a bit, in particular the 'SSL/TLS Options' and the 'HTTP Client Options';SSL/TLS OptionsChanged 'Verify SSL Certificates' to 'No'Changed 'M

How can I efficiently integrate the results from a previous transformer into a tester, especially when the results may vary with each analysis, without the need for manual updates every time?

We are seeing an intermittent issues with connecting to database from FME workbenches ( That runs on FME server ) though the database is healthy FME Server 2021.2.6Build 21821 - win64 The error message is "Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216072'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Underlying DBMS error[HY109:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Invalid cursor position No extended error.]}" Any ideas on how to investigate this further ?? Thanks

Hi all, I need a hand integrating this python regex script into the python caller, I basically want to run as per below. I have it all working in python but now have been asked (as work uses FME) to do it here. I'm struggling to understand how to integrate python into the FME workflow. if you could assist setting this up in a basic manner I'm sure I will get the hang of it, but have been struggling for a day or two. (Also I know I could not use python, but I want to extend beyond this functionality later and prefer python) My python script is around the lines of: def check_filename(filename):    pattern = r'^([A-Z]{3}-\\d{3}-[A-Z]-[A-Z]{3}-MOD-\\d{2}-[A-Z]{3}-[A-Z]{3}-\\d{4})(-[A-Z]-\\d{2})?(\\.\\w{3,4})$'    match = re.match(pattern, filename)        return bool(match), filename if not match else "" def check_all_files():    for filename in filenames_:        result, reason = check_filename(filename)        if result:            passes.append(filename)       

Hi guys, I am working on a 3d building model conversion to cityGML​I have several openings and I tried flipping them with their original geometries​I set the gml_geometry_reversed attribute and used GeometryPropertySetter(gml_geometry_reversed, xlink_href) to make the orientableSurface as followsthe orientable surface was successfully generated but when I open the file with the inspector its appearance was flipped in wrong waythe windows and doors are supposed to be like this I GUESS the appearance part in the document must be written incorrectly(specifically, <app:inFront>fasle</app:inFront> part)this is true part​and this one is false partthe order of the coordinates is the same for both parts...I am not sure this has something to do with the flipping issue I have no idea how to edit the transformers and fix this problem please help me solving it...!!😂

I have an FME workbench that writes to multiple Excel files (all contained within a single zip file) with the intent that the generated files will not really be stored, but merely returned as the output of an FME web app and discarded soon after. Having to write these files on-disk first means I have to consider "hygiene" between runs so that there's no risk of file name collision/overwriting, while also saving them in a location that is available for the FME Flow server to expose to the user via HTTP. None of the documentation I could find really addresses where to save files meant for use with the "data download service", nor how to ensure that file paths cannot overlap between runs. Is there an FME Flow parameter for this purpose, like a unique run identifier I could add to my file names, or a private directory created only for the output of this run? I'm thinking of something like what TempPathnameCreator outputs, but not as a transformer, since it means

I have a table including some file name and I was wondering if ther is a transformer or work flow can read the file name from the table and download them from the local server to my computer.

Is there a straightforward FME way to set all attributes exiting the failed port of an AttributeValidator and listed in the validation message list to null? I have a very straightforward bit of python to do it, but my brain is failing me this afternoon on an FME methoddef FeatureProcessor(feature):    for i in feature.getAttribute('_fme_validation_message_list{}'):        attrname = re.search(r"(?<=Attribute \')\w+",i)        feature.setAttributeNullWithType(attrname.group(0),fmeobjects.FME_ATTR_UNDEFINED)
