FME Form

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

I have 64-bit FME Desktop installed (version 2017.1.1.1)I also have ArcGIS Pro installed (version 2.0.1)When trying to add readers requiring esri licensing, for example Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb) or Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb). I am getting the following error message…Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This 64-bit version of FME requires 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more detailsI have added the path to the ArcGIS Pro executable to the system PATH environment variable. FME still does not seem to see that ArcGIS Pro is installed. What do I have to do to get FME desktop to recognize the installed ArcGIS Pro?

Hello.I have some data like this:123 m32 m56 m...and I want to keep the numeric part and ommit the unit (m). Which way is the best?

I was able to create a Portal Web Connection from the Template but after I 'Authenticate' nothing happens--the window does not close and I can not proceed to the 'OK' stage and move forward. What is the problem?... this process works fine when creating an ArcGIS Online connection because the Authentication window closes automatically and you can finish the process, but with Portal it just stays open and shows my portal and there is no way to finish the process. Any help would be much appreciated! !

I have self interaction in line .line has id but it make circle and intersect itself .how could I remove the intersection point at same line ? my problem : after using intersection lines ,I found this line divide to 3 lines ,because it intersect itself in point .will be possible to let intersector Transformator to create find intersection lines but between different id and ignore the intersection lines for line that has specific id .Could I specific it in parameter ,to find intersection lines only for different id ?

Hello, I imported a point GIS dataset into FME to export it with datasmith into unreal engine. The dataset is point based (I used vertex creator). When exporting to unreal, the scene is empty. Essentially, I need to convert each point into a 3d object (like identical cubes) which will be read as a static mesh with UE. I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to do that.... I tried to play around with 2dboxreplacer and 3dforcer but they don't give me any results.Any help or tips will be very much appreciated. Thank you so much!!!  

Is there a way to dynamically set the "Attributes to Expose" option in the Feature Reader Parameters dialog box.  I've set a variable equal to the attributes I want, and I've created a user parameter pointing to a .csv file containing the attributes (one on each line), figuring I could update the .csv each time through a loop with the attributes I want from the next file.... but neither of these worked (at least in the form I tried them): I apologize for asking so many questions. I promise to answer some when I get better at this.

I'm using the CSV Reader to import a file that contains all of our AD users information so that they can be imported into other systems.  I've noticed a strange thing on the nightly Job I set up on the FME server with my workflow, that the output file doesn't have newly added rows from the day before (new employees). Though running the workflow manually seems to pick up the users, hence some of the confusion. I've refreshed the reader with a new one, that sets the datasource as a parameter and have tried tweaking some of the advance setting with issues still continuing.  I did try the AD Reader, but it was extremely cumbersome with my lack of knowledge of AD structure and required me to map multitudes of OU's to just get the users, and even then I was still missing some. Thoughts on how to get this thing to "re-read the file for each job run on the FME server?

Have anyone managed to correctly set up FME Desktop (not FME Server - this is OK) to use Azure AD when logging in to an FME Server with Azure AD? I have changed the template and the TENANT_ID and OAUTH_SCOPE and set the redirect url to http://localhost . However I get an error. Not sure where to go from here The scope set is: scope=openid+profile+offline_access

I made a workbench which takes a .zip folder as a source, which contains .csv files, and sometimes an 'attachment' folder which contains images or videos. The output is an xlsx file, a dxf file and if there is an 'attachment' folder, this 'attachment' folder. This workbench will be used through a workbench app in FME Server, the xlsx and th dxf data can be retrieved from the 2 featurewriters via the data downlaod service, but I have no idea of how to read and write a folder with file extensions I can't know. The only solution I see is to move the folder. So I made a python script which unzip the entry file, check if there is a 'attachment' folder, and if so, move it to 'FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR', so it can be downloaded from the url with the xlsx and the dxf. Here's my problem. With a .zip file with only .csv file and no 'attachments' folder, there is no problem, I get my url to download the data and I ge

I seem to be running into the same problem again and again. That problem is how do I pass a series of attributes to a transformer using what would be considered a variable in a scripting language. I can generate an attribute or variable containing a list or string containing the attributes, but I can't seem to figure out how to pass that value into a transformer and have it produce the desired result. I know it has to be possible (you can't know every attribute you want to keep/expose/use in every workflow every time, so passing them dynamically has to be a thing), I just can't figure it out. Plus, I can see having to use dynamic inputs in a hundred different ways I can't imagine yet, so I have to get this bit. Can anyone point me to a resource where I can learn the technique? Thank you.

How do I go about creating a table in AutoCAD like the one attached with inputs that look exactly the same (basically an insert of a csv)? It seems like such a simple task but is proving to be hard. FWIW I am learning AutoCAD via FME so my AutoCAD knowledge is not of a professional standard.

I'm trying to have a distributed deployment of my standard engine & the dynamic engines in azure kubernetes. I created 2 nodepools and referenced the tag of the 2nd nodepool in the values.yaml file. The dynamic engine has a nodeSelector: {agentpool: nodepooldynamic} field that says this engine has to go on a specific nodepool. However, when I update my deployment it says the pods affinity rules are not met since it only wants to schedule engine pods on the same nodepool as there is a core pod available. Although, the engine pod immediately launches even before the core pod is available. Is the presence of the core pod hard coded or is it possible to change this?

I have previously downloaded (using SharePointOnlineConnector)a file to my local PC storage, and I know that it is possible to use an S3Connector to upload attributes or files, but, how can I directly upload a file from Sharepoint to FME Server folder in the same Workspace without storing it at C:/?

Hi, I'm really new to FME, and am a little confused about how to do something. I have an existing automation built by an integrator that parses some emails for specific text. those are then bundled up various ways and sent out to various entities via email. I want to also send an API request with some of that data in it - the vendor i'm sending it to doesn't support a login auth, just tokens, though so i ended up making a workspace to send the call. However, i'm kind of confused as to how i get the outputs from the previous workspace into this one? I see the output keys from the writer, but, I don't understand how to get those keys into the next "run a workspace" My schema for the API looks like:{    "version": "v1",    "alert_text": "route.Email**#.RAWMESSAGE",    "title": "route.Email**#.Alarm

I am able to use Powershell to get json data from SPLUNK Res API.Now I want to translate this method to the HTTPCaller, but I dont succeed to get this working in FME. Does anybody have experience with this or has some tips and tricks? 

I'm working on data transformation and trying to achieve a task using FME. I have a dataset with two columns(From and To), and I need to match values from one column(From) with values in another column(To). The third column(ID) corresponds to the value present in col From, so eventually, I have to match the value in col From, find it in another col To, and populate the ID value(in new col ID2) in a new column.Essentially, I want to find instances where a value from the first column exists in the second column.Could someone guide me on how to set up an FME workflow to accomplish this? I got an understanding that it can be performed using AttributeCreator using Enable Adjacent Feature Attributes, though not sure if it can, and how!I appreciate any help or insights you can provide. Thank you in advance for the assistance!The ID1 values in the below image are IDs of col From. I have to populate ID2 values that refer to To column.

My keyboard input to FME has suddenly changed. If I use another application I get my normal response, but when I try to type in FME, it seems the keyboard layout has changed (probably to another language somehow). I cannot find anything in the settings that fixes this. Has anyone got an idea what might have caused this and how to fix it?
