FME Form

Just sharing information about a new feature I found."Enable Performance Profiling" would be introduced in FME 2025.2 Workbench. You will be able to log detailed performance profiling on workspace run easily whithout editing header.Have been waiting for 10+ years :-)Sharing: Detailed Profiling of Workspace Running Performance[Addition] The command is available since FME 2025.1. I have overlooked that... 

Unfortunately FME 2025 for Mac Silicon is still missing some file format integrations. What is the roadmap to get a complete collection of formats on the ARM plattform?I have had to resort to running an Intel version of FME on my Mac in order to be able to read File GDB and 2DPDF. (I don’t get to choose my source formats...). But it would be great to utilize the machines full potential, after all it was many years since Mac had an Intel in their line up.Previous discussion on the subject with more missing formats mentioned: 

I’m testing the new OPENFILEGDB Reader in 2026.1 that supersedes the old Open GDB Reader, but it doesn’t resolve my subtypes and domains. Am I missing something?If not, please bring this functionality back, as it is/was one of the main reasons for using the Open Reader.Workaround for now: the old one is still present albeit marked as deprecated, so I guess it may disappear in the near futureOld Open GDB ReaderNew Open GDB Reader 

Hello Forum, I have point dataset with 5600 points at an address level. Each point has a ‘score’ value of between 1 and 100. I need to create a hexagon grid. And then assign to each hexagon the score value of the point, or the average score values of the points, that fall into each hexagon. If only one point record falls into a hexagon, say with a score of 42, then that hexagon will inherit a score of 42. But if several points fall into a hexagon, say with scores of 13, 56 and 22, then assign the average value of 30.3 to the hexagon they fall into.  I also need to define the size of the hexagons/hexagon grid. I’ve been looking

I have been using Topologybuilder to merge attributes from overlying features. This worked fine as long as empty cells where set to NULL. Now for some unknown reason this does not work any longer. Example of two overlying features:Feature 1: attributeA = NULLFeature 2: attributeA = 'valuesomething'The output used to be one feature with the value 'valuesomething', but now I get the value NULL in stead. Has the way the Topologybuilder works been changed? Does anyone have a workaround?

All I want to do is create a TIN from a point CSV. I have used the TINGenerator transformer, but the TIN that is created does not have any elevation. The geometry is 3D in the Inspector, but it does not show any height information. If I create a TIN in ArcGIS, it has the correct elevation. I will also post my workflow. Can anyone help me?  

Hi All,Has anyone experienced issues with the AutodeskDocsConnector transformer when downloading Revit files from Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)?In my case, when the Revit files are downloaded via the transformer as part of an automation, the resulting files are noticeably larger in size and FME is unable to recognise them as valid Revit files, returning an error. However, when I download the same Revit files manually from ACC, the file size is smaller and the files are read correctly in FME without any issues.I would appreciate any insights or similar experiences, as well as suggestions on what might be causing this discrepancy.I’m using FME(R) 2024.2.4.0 (20250318 - Build 24831 - WIN64)Thanks :)

Hallo everyone,I copied and upgraded an ArcGIS Dimension Feature Class (File GDB) using ArcPy.However, when trying to read it in FME 2024 (FeatureReader / File Geodatabase Reader), I get this error:Unable to convert row to 'DimensionFeature'FME can see the schema, but fails when reading the features.Does FME support reading Dimension Feature Classes, or is there a known workaround?Thanks.

We’re currently in the process of looking to move to a newer version of FME Form (2025.2) but we’ve hit an issue where we can’t meet the required dependencies for adding a Smallworld reader regardless of having the correct files in the right locations. If we open an older workspace with the reader already added, it will still complain about missing dependencies but the workspace will execute correctly.If you select ‘Update Reader’ from the navigator you can add additional feature types etc and change parameters, but you can’t add a new reader due to the missing dependencies. I noted that there was a Fix in Build 25811, but when I tested in 2025.1 (before the fix), there are no issues adding a Smallworld reader. I understand that the Smallworld user group probably isn’t the largest but is anyone

I have a COG with a scale factor (excerpt from GDALInfo)Band 1 Block=1024x1024 Type=Int32, ColorInterp=Gray  Min=-50313.000 Max=57304.000  Minimum=-50313.000, Maximum=57304.000, Mean=4745.177, StdDev=7550.452  NoData Value=-32767  Offset: 0,   Scale:0.1How do I apply this scale factor in FME?   If I clip the input and create a new tif,  the scale factor is dropped and the values are 10 times the expected.In this particular case I can just scale the value back down, but in general, is there a way to retrieve the scale factor and apply it? 

Hi I am using the OpenAIChatGPTConnecter in FME Form and entered all relevant details but receiving this error- Could not resolve hostname Obviously something network related, any further ideas? I cannot ping to the endpoint from command prompt.

I’m trying to follow the FME Form course from a MAC and one of the very first exercises is using a Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) writer. Unfortunately I’m getting this error on the platform. Is there any workaround for this?

Hello All Please any idea / guess how i could maintain the intensity in output and decimate E57 point cloud file. Below is my current workflow. This is my first time working with E57 filetype.  

Hi FME Community,I'm currently working on a BIM/GIS integration project where I need to regularly update Revit files into a 3D GIS platform. The initial setup is already in place: I've created the 3D environment and published some Revit files to Portal for ArcGIS using ArcGIS Pro.Here’s the current workflow:Load the Revit file into ArcGIS Pro within a 3D scene. Share the scene to Portal. This results in three published items: a scene-hosted layer, a feature-hosted layer, and a web scene.Since the engineering team updates the Revit files weekly, I’m exploring ways to automate this process using FME Form and Flow. So far, I’ve considered two options:Option 1:Use PythonCaller to replace the Revit file in ArcGIS Pro and re-share the web scene to Portal. This would overwrite the existing scene-hosted layer, feature-hosted layer, and web scene. N

Hello all - grateful for some suggestions here - I’m being driven slowly mad…We are developing a ‘data portal’ style workbench running in FME2025.1, using a dynamic writer to deal with multiple input and output datasets and multiple possible output formats - the dataset and output format are specified by user parameters.The source datasets are point or polygon datasets stored in an MSSQL Esri SDE and output formats  include all the usual GIS data formats.This is generally working well but one polygon dataset is failing to wite out. In this case the log reports the following:=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Feature output statistics for `GENERIC' writer using keyword `GENERIC_1':=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-                           Features Written Summary=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Hi thereCan anyone offer guidance on how to remove three stray vertices which remain after using the Dissolver transformer, please?Many thanks.

I'm quite new to CAD. I have an Oracle database with parcels. I would like to convert these to DGN (for users in Microstation) and DWG (for users in Autocad). The parcelnumbers should be a text field as the centroid of the parcels.  I have only a licence for Microstation to test the DWG's over there before I can sent them to the users using Autocad. I can create and convert the parcels and texts to DGN. These work fine.When converting the parcels to DWG I can see the number of features (elements) in Microstation, but not the geometry itself.What should I do get the geometry right?  

I have an HTTP caller using a GET Request, to access an API site using a Web Connection for authentication. I am trying to find a way for it to return (either within the JSON response body or otherwise) the access token which is generated when the process runsI have Accept and Content Type as my headers. I have tried: Storing the cookies doing grant_type = client_credentials in the Query String Parameters.  Creating a list for the Headers (no token content within that)In the setting for my web connection, I have this:But I am not returning anything called ‘access_token’ in the response body. To be clear, my process works as intended, but due to new constraints we need to store the access token that is generated every time to store it to use downs

I have a workbench that takes data from Oracle, merges it with a few other tables, runs it through a schema scanner and then tries to output to a file geodatabase.The file geodatabase has the merged table created but it only contains the schema definition not the data. The output from the schema scanner shows the points in the graphics display. These are the transformers that scan and output Here is the Feature Writer  The summary is showing the feature count  

I am not sure why I am struggling with this one… I have tried quite a few options.  What I would like to do is:Pull Alignment file from an XML (this has the starting value as an attribute, end value can be calculated by start value + line length) Set Start and End Measures Kick out an m-enabled polyline that is geometrically calibratedI have the workbench set up to pull this in, using a geometry coercer to make sure it is a line, then I have been trying the measure generator and measure setters to get these values to stick with no luck.    

HiI am encountering a critical issue when using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer (within a FeatureWriter transformer) in a dynamic workspace.When a specific column contains data that AGOL deems "invalid HTML" (e.g., strings containing <, >, or specific URL parameters), the translation fails with a Fatal Error. Instead of rejecting only the problematic feature or failing just that specific layer, the entire FME Engine stops, preventing the rest of the workspace from processing other layers. I have a custom Transformer that read, process and write individual layer. this custom transformer has a group by set to unique layer id.Current Configuration:Writer: ESRI Feature Service Writer (Dynamic).Transformer: FeatureWriterError Message: ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: 'column_name' has invalid HTML content.What I Need Help With:Error Handling: How can I configure the FeatureWriter or the

I would like to use gdalinfo to read the metadata/header for a folder of rasterfiles to get the extent and of each file. Ggalinfo can read this without loading the raster itself. This greatly speeds up the process.Can we use the gdal implementation of FME to do this and if so how? The goal is to also have this working on FME Flow.Example of gdalinfo output:gdalinfo "C:\path\to\file\1.img"Driver: HFA/Erdas Imagine Images (.img)Files: C:\path\to\file\1.imgSize is 200, 130Origin = (209000.000000000000000,529000.000000000000000)Pixel Size = (100.000000000000000,-100.000000000000000)Metadata:  DataType=GenericCorner Coordinates:Upper Left  (  209000.000,  529000.000)Lower Left  (  209000.000,  516000.000)Upper Right (  229000.000,  529000.000)Lower Right (  229000.000,  516000.000)Center      (  219000.000,  522500.000)Band 1 Block=64x64 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Undefined  Des

 Hi,I am using the Matcher transformer to find pairs of features with the same attribute value.Now I want to create a new attribute rel_obj that stores the ObjectID of the other feature in the matched pair as in the image. What is the best way to implement this in FME?Thanks 

Hi, I have many LAS tiles with gps_time component. Gps time values are in standard GPS Time : ex 363439432.1942503 I would like to display the minimum and maximum times in DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS format. I can use the PointCloudStatisticsCalculator to get the minimum and maximum values, but I can't work out how to convert 363439432.1942503 to the required format. Any idea? Thanks u !
