FME Form

I am wanting my StringReplacer to search for values which start with a certain string, and replace the ENTIRE value with a new string (not just the start). I have table with a list of values starting with "Sh 1" and "Sh 77", and they all have following text after Sh 1 and Sh 77. I would like to replace the entire value, e.g. "Sh 1 Rs 401 Rakaia to Chertsey" should be replaced with "State Highway 1".  I have tried a few expressions, but currently I am only able to replace the "Sh 1" part of the string, not the following text.  How do I change my expression so the entire value is replaced?   

I have a large set of featureclasses that need to be run into a workspace, one at a time because loading the dataset all at once will make my FME workspace terminate because the memory is full. I have used workspacerunner on a folder with multiple csv files, which solves the memory problem. But I can't figure out how to do a simular thing with multiple featureclasses. I wouldnt mind if the featureclasses need to merged into one and the input the first xx number of features into the workspacerunner. If that is even possible.

Hi there, Until a few days ago we had a working SharePointOnline Connector in FME which uploaded a .dwg file every day. After updating to FME Workbench 2022.2 that stopped working. A saw in the webservices options that the Tenant-ID was replaced with the string 'common' so I reverted this to our setttings. I used this YouTube-video for implementing the right settings inside FME. I can test the webconnection which is succesfull. But encounter a number of error messages. See below. I've also been troubleshooting together with IT to make sure that all proxy/FireWall settings are correct but nothing has changed there.Thusfar I've encountered the following error-messages:   As of now FME also stopped opening the webservices settings menu. It just shows the blue windows loading circle. Hopefully some of you recognize these errors and point me in the right direction for a solution. Thanks in advance! best regards, Jaap 

The writer stops working after I added a geolocation field to the sharepoint list. Even without writing anything to the geolocation field, the writer still gives me this error. Could anyone help me? Kind regards.  https://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/sharepoint/sharepoint-user-attr.htm

Hello, I managed, with a PythonCaller, to create a dialog box with a dropdown list of choices, a button opening a url link depending on the selection. I would like now that:1) the choice list be taken from an FME list  (code line 38 below)2) once the coordinate is chosen, by clicking on "button2" ("OK..."), the FME attribute "Choix_adr" takes this coordinate and the FME script continues.  (code line 88 below) I have the following code that works at the list level (but without taking a FME list or defining the "Choix_adr" attribute once chosen) and the hyperlink button:from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysimport webbrowserimport fmeimport fmeobjects class Window(QMainWindow):     # Initialisation de la commande    def __init__(self):        super().__init__()         # définition du titre de la boite de dialogue        self.setWindowTitle("Choix de l'adresse")         # définition de la position et la ta

Hi there. I am outputting SQL data into a CSV into well known text. Some of these features are polygons and others are multipolygons. I am finding in the output some multipolygon WKT strings are spilling over into other fields which throws everything out. I'm not sure the field length is exceeding the maximum length for a CSV but is there anything I can do to keep it all on one line or is this a problem with multipolygons? I'm using a GeometryExtractor to convert to WTK, then a couple of StringReplacers to remove Z and change the SRID from 0 to 3857 so the csv can be brought into Power BI. Most are appearing fine. Regards, Josh

Hi, I'm looking for a way to generate a random 6 character alpha code. SequenceGenerator looks like it would work but it only uses numeric values.

I don't understand why I'm getting a failure to transform the projection system and save it in another format.jpeg - ecwundefined - 25830 

Is there a way to copy to excel user attributes table? I need to reproduce the table of writer attribute names, data type, width, value, precision. Figured there must be a way to extract those fast?

Hi, i am using this structure to generate solid meshes from a LAS, extruding the point from x,y and z and then building the mesh of each small cube. But I found that the solid mesh was moved in the space (there is an offset) when I use cloud compare to viz it, and I don't know why it is occurred.Very grateful for the answer!! thanks:) ! 

Have and excel spreadsheet, roughly 90 mb, if II make a workspace that simply reads that excel file and writes it, the size of the written excel file by FME is about 179 mb. I am just using the defaults on both the reader and writer. If I open the file in excel and clear all cell formatting, and save, it drops the file size down to about 109 mb. Any Ideas why FME is writing a file that is almost double the size of the source file? and is there any way to clear out any formatting, assuming that is where the bloat is coming from ?

FME training and tutorials appear to be a 'spatial first' - ie they assume that any new user wants to work with spatial data. But FME is fabulous for non-spatial data as well and this spatial-first approach is overly complex and off-putting for new non-spatial users. Does anyone know of any introductory tutorials, videos, etc that teach new users how to use FME without dragging them through complex (and irrelevant to them) topics such as spatial formats, coordinate system, geometry processing algorithms, etc?Thanks

Has anyone tried using FME to connect CityWorks to Kronos time keeping? We'd like to have the time codes sent directly to Kronos instead of having someone manually enter them in.

Hopefully this doesn't ramble too much... I've been tasked by my Organization to standardize our development processes and implement clean, repeatable deployment processes across all of our environments. This means storing all of our integration configurations in version control (git), and being able to use pipelines to auto deploy to any environment at will. Over the last 6 months, I've built a PowerShell module that:Deploys Workspaces (if they have changed against the server version)Registers ServicesDeploys/Updates TopicsDeploys/Updates SubscribersDeploys/Updates PublishersDeploys/Updates Schedules The process is getting much better, but still has a few dependencies:A "sandbox" FME server environment, where all of our work is deployed manuallyDevelopers create a "Project" on the Sandbox FME server and adds all the dependencies for their integrationA workspace is run that exports that Project into JSON format, along with all settings, parameters and op

As you see, I connect separate inputs to the two duplicates of my custom transformer. But all the data goes into one of them. Why is it like this?

I'm using FME serverI got a dataset with only one feature inside.I converted it to fgdb with ignore schema selection as attached fmw.But the output is zero feature.It can be success if I duplicated the feature to make it become 2 features.The attached is dataset, log and fmwIs any other thing I can do on fmw for this situation

I want to loop number of times (22), so, created Custom transformer. Tried embedded, didn't work, so now Linked Always with fmx.1. Unable to work out whats the issue, it works if just run for only one iteration (test purpose), so, seems no issue in both main & fmx (custom). 2.But an issue to loop, or going to next iteration 3.Could not change CustomTransfomer>Transformer Pramaters>Advanced > Maximum number of iterations or Attribute to holdl iteration count !? 4.However, I have used 'LoopRecs' for iteration from main to loop transformer and added 'MyCounter' for loop test. 5.Please note, added sampler, just to run 3 times for testing, but actually wanted to loop based on 'LoopRecs' variable, which is passed thru main to custom. Whats issue here ? I have spent a lot of time figuring out . . is this a bug ? tried to get help from our FME tech support here , no response.. Can anyone help PLEASE , getting really frustrated to figure out the issue ! 

I have a workflow that needs to run completely offline, where the customer wants to be able to navigate using a map, and then once at a given location, click on a feature on the map, and pull up a specific model in an AR environment to illustrate what the future conditions at that site would look like. The model would need to be geolocated/anchored for a simplified experience for the user.   It would be very easy to create a url within the mapping app to send to FME AR (to include the model name, even an insertion point, etc.) I am curious if FME AR supports a deep linking capability that many other mobile apps support. I cannot seem to find any documentation on this topic, so any insight is appreciated.

Greetings,My Spatial Transformer is not working, none of the records are captured.The ListExploder fails, the error message is: MISSING_PARAMETER_LISTAny advice to capture the List?? ThanksClive 

The problem I am facing is I cannot figure out how I can send Answer value for Observation Question to the FME Server. I have been using this syntax: {"Address":"~~Location~~", "InspectionId":"~~InspectionId~~","Observation_Id":"~~ObservationId~~","Facility_Id":"~~Facility_Id~~","AnswerValue":"[~~AnswerValue~~]"} Also, I can find API documentation for the InspectionAnswer, but I am having trouble setting the right Syntax, so it will send Answer Value to the FME Server. Can someone help, please?Thank you

Has anyone worked with spatial indexing using GDB/SDE as output format? The spatial indexing function only appears for SQL Spatial formats. Any response is very much appreciated. Thank you!

I tried to create a global temp table in an SQL database to bypass limited database privs. Here is my FeatureWriter setting:No errors were given, but the temp table was not created on the SQL server tempdb. I tried using the fully qualified name tempdb.dbo.##MyTempTable for example to no avail. Appreciate any suggestions! 

I have an FME workspace in which input from an DWG file is read and exported into an FGBD file. I am using a dynamic FeatureWriter. For the layers, this has the following result: If there is a layer named 'xyz', and this layer contains e.g. text, line, and point features, the FGDB writer will create three layers 'xyz_text', 'xyz_line', and 'xyz_point' for the features. Is there any possibility to tell the FGDB writer to group the layers such that in e.g. ArcGIS Pro, all the layers 'xyz_text', 'xyz_line', and 'xyz_point' are already grouped below a parent layer/group layer 'xyz'? Or is this something which necessarily has to be achieved by another tool, e.g. using ArcPy?

hello, I'm having several java.lang.NumberFormatException: warning when writing to MS Azure SQL database. It does not prvent the workspace to run properly however, it create a very long log file with hundreds of thousands of warnings. Is there a way to correct that so that I won't have such warning anymore? Thanks
