I have one dataset that has overlapping polygons. I want to advise the data owner of this and ask guidance for what to do when I come across these overlapping areas. I think the best way to do this is to show them all the overlapping areas. I was able to add on the overlap counts to each polygon (AreaOnAreaOverlayer) which is great, but what I really want is to create a new dataset with the overlapping areas. I have had a look at the AreaOnAreaOverlayer and Clipper. Is anyone able to provide further guidance or point out if I should be using a different transformer combination?

I have two enterprise geodatabases, each with an annotation feature class (annotation version 2.x) that I need to keep synchronized. Edits are made in the feature class in the source geodatabase, and (ideally) updated nightly to the feature class in the target geodatabase, using an automated FME workbench on FME server. The annotation feature class in the target geodatabase should have all of its features truncated and replaced by the annotation features in the source geodatabase feature class. This works great for a number of other feature classes (polygon, points, etc.), and it works fine with older versions of the annotation (Desktop version), but not for this annotation version. I'm testing this out locally, using ArcGIS Pro 3.0 and FME 2022.0.0.2 (Build 22343), and regardless of how I set up my workbench, I'm not able to read and write the annotation features between these two data sources. Currently, I'm getting the following error from

Can anyone suggest a really good changedetector tutorial or documentation? I'm having difficulties understanding the output where a change in attributes and/or geometry is found. I can't tell which attributes changed (before and after) and I'd like to see exactly where the geometry change is instead of only seeing which features have changed. Hope that makes sense. I'm still learning.

Hi All,Workbench is returning an error message I've never seen before when trying to write some photo's to an attachment table of a versioned feature class and i'm getting the message; "Unexpected execution path. please visit http://www.safe.com/supportGeodatabaseRelationshipFeaturesPipeline::GeodatabaseRelationshipFeatures (SortFactory): A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsA fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsSome error has occurred closing the pipeline factory, see previous warning" in the translation log. Any ideas where I can go from here to try and trace the troubleshooting?

Hi, I've got a 3d model made of cubes (points extruded in 3 dimensions) and would like to export it as Cesium3dTiles. I did styling with AppearanceSetter and everything is okay except the cubes consist only of 6 squares that are colorised and they are not filled in the inside. Having these solids filled is important to generate cuts through this model. Any suggestion on how to get filled cubes?Regards,Maik

I already had a look at the following link and it helped me in the right direction, however I am still stuck. I use values from the boundingbox transformer for determining whether I need a portrait or a landscape layout. See image below how I have defined it. In case the length of the xdifference is bigger than the ydifference, then I would go for a landscape layout.Then I tried several ways to define the size:1) defining the values shown above in the attribute pdf_page_size in the attributecreator transformer. 2) Create a user parameter from above and use it in the pdf writer under parameters "Page Size (points)"3 Using a TestFilter in combination with two PDFPageFormattters don't work I get the following err

Hi, I'm trying to built a webscraper tool for italian website using CSS (NO API available) and since each website has a different structure I put the css selector in a POSTGRES table and then in the HTML extractor I use these selectors as parametersThe probelm occurs when in a website an attribute is missing eg normally I extract data_inizio and data_fine but in some case data_fine isn't present.So I suspect that the html stop if th css for a specif parameters is missing, I tried to use the conditional value butthe only possibility is stop So the question is how can tell to the HTML if the css selector in a parameter is missing proceed ? Hope the explanation is clear thx for

I have a file with points and as an attribute I have the measurement with respect to the LRS. How to view the points on the map?

Say I have the following data;for which I can see the following information in the Feature Information window;feature 1; text (bytes): 48656C6C6Ffeature 2; text (string: UTF-8): WorldIs there a way that I can filter the features on the basis of the indicated data type (i.e. 'bytes' vs 'string (UTF-8)'?

I am trying to use the string search command to extract the file names from a text string, Path attribute. by reverse searching the path string in order to establish the location of the last sub directory i.e. \\ @FindString(@Value(Path),\\,-0,caseSensitive=TRUE) The forward search works but I can't get the reverse (right to left) to work! using a negative startIdx  

When rerunning my entire workspace, the transformers don't run one by one. They run to where all the transformers are being used at once and it takes an astronomically long time. It's faster if I run each transformer individually. Is there a setting to make each transformer run one at a time when I rerun my entire workspace?

Examples:10 > 105.1 > 5.0999999046325610.1 > 10.10000038146972720.1 > 20.10000038146972717.6 > 17.60000038146972720.3 > 20.2999992370605478.4 > 8.3999996185302735.3 > 5.30000019073486207.97 > 207.97000122070312

I'm struggling to find documentation or an article for this problem I am running into. I have a validation tool I created that checks for all sorts of different errors within a GDB. The errors that are caught are then written to ArcOnline where the data can be visualised. The validation tool handles mostly missing/null data. Once the null/missing data is found or fixed, you run the validation tool again to update the ArcOnline data. What I am trying to achieve is that the updating of the data is replaced based on a specific attribute- 'Project_ID'(PID). The ArcOnline layer could have entries for 'PID_1', & entries for 'PID_2'. If the tool is ran again and some existing errors have been remedied for 'PID_1', only those with 'PID_1' will be removed and updated, and those with 'PID_2' are left untouched. (When running the tool, the input data will never have conflicting Project IDs. So it is ran on a project to project basis.)

Hi there I am trying to connect a reader to sharepoint to read some information in. When I press authenticate this is the error that I get. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?  All the best-Ed

Hello, FME Desktop users and educators, I hope you are all doing well. Today, I'd like to discuss a pressing issue I've encountered with FME Desktop while using it alongside classroom management software for teaching and geospatial data processing. It seems that there are compatibility challenges between FME Desktop and certain classroom management platforms, and I'm eager to hear your insights and experiences on this matter. As a geospatial instructor and avid FME Desktop user, this software plays a vital role in my classes for data integration and transformation. However, since incorporating classroom management software into my teaching methods, I've come across the following issues with FME Desktop: Screen Sharing Glitches: Attempting to share the FME Desktop interface during live classes or collabor

I have the lakhs of electric line features in FGDB , I want to find out the line features which are overshoot and correct those . Can you please help me with the FME workspace ?

Hi, I am using a FeatureWriter to create a Geopackage. Although I set the Spatial Column name as "SHAPE" it is changed to lowercase "shape" in the output. Can I prevent this behavior somehow or is there a workaround for this (e.g. renaming the spatial column with sqlite in a PythonCaller)?

Our salesforce writer credentials need to be updated as a workspace is moved between environments, there doesn't seem to be any easy way of verifying that the values copied and pasted are correct without running the workspace Any suggestions?

Either directly or using Python?

Hi guys, i'm having an issue when i run my workspacerunner. Undefined macro `UNIT' dereferenced in file `G:\\wb-xlate-1690810120428_4936' I't s workbench build in an older version (2021) of FME. And now i want to run it in 2022 FME version. But it keeps saying that error. I also tried to create an new workbench, with new readers.....but it won't work. What I am doing wrong? :(

Has anybody tried using a Loupedeck with FME? I just got myself one, primarily for my Illustrator work and photo editing (hobby) but since it's programmable I figured I'd give it a try with FME too. Basically it's a little thingamajig that connects via usb and has a bunch of programmable buttons and dials. It comes with presets for various applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, video editing etc but you can also create your own mappings for any application. I've mapped most of my often-used transformers to it as well as some general tools (zooming, running etc).

I create alayer by overlapping some polygons and save the results in an oracle tabe. When trying to open that table in ARCGIS, I receive the error message [The number of points is less than required for feature]After doing some research, it was stated that the arcsdegridSanpper can be used before the writer but it now depreciated and therefore can not be used in my workbench since I'm using FME 2021. How can I solve this issue?

One thing I prefer to do when building a new FME tool is to log the input parameters in a startup python script in order to facilitate debugging when things go wrong. A sample of the code I use is below.import fmeobjects fmeobjects.FMELogFile().logMessageString("Input parameter 1: ") + FME_MacroValues["parameter1"], fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)fmeobjects.FMELogFile().logMessageString("Input parameter 2: ") + FME_MacroValues["parameter2"], fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)This has worked great for a long time, however it's cumbersome because I need to manually enter the names of the parameters. I'm curious if there is a method for returning the names of parameters dynamically in the startup python script, and then loop through them to include in the log file. If this is possible, I could keep my startup script the same between all tools and simply copy it into new tools without having to modify.
