FME Form

Hi, we have several workbenches deployed to FME Server that use the ArcSDE Queirier, which is deprecated. It was reading data from an .sde and deleting the data based on a WHERE clause, and the translation was continued on the output ports of the transformer. What is a transformer that I can use in its place that meets the above requirements?

I want to replicate oracle tables with SDO_GEOM data types to a Snowflake data warehouse without any transformations before. Just a straight up replication of the complete table, including the SDO_GEOM data field. Can Safe FME do that?

I'm using FME Workbench 2022.2.24. In the window title and startup screen, it shows Workbench 2022.2, not the full version 2022.2.24. (I also have Workbench 2022.2 installed so this is confusing.) I would prefer seeing the full version number in both of these places. I haven't starting using FME Form 2023.x yet. Does anyone know if the behavior is the same?Should I post this as an Idea? It seems like a vey minor issue.

error ( Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Failed to connect using Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server. Provider error '(-2147467259)). FME server version FME Server 2022.2 Build 22765 - win64, works on desktop with same SQLServer credentials

I have followed the steps at https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-create-an-FME-Web-Connection-for-Esri-ArcGIS-Portal-Feature-Service-OAuth-2-0?t=1688516897087 for FME Form only.  After I am presented with the authentication challenge and log in with our portal administrator account I receive: "unable to retrieve access token""Request to update access token failed. HTTP Error: HTTP/1.1. 500 Internal Server Error

I tried to keep the same credentials to S3, but in the server side, the error points to the process doesn't have permissions to access the file. Does the server's user have to ask for reading privileges in the bucket?

I have a table with multiple rows. Each line has a number. The number is appended to the column name. After that, each line should be appended to the other. The picture shows the starting table and the target. I've researched a lot but found nothing. Does anyone know how it works?

Hi, I am trying to reduce texture resolution on a .obj model. This is what i have currently:The output at AppearanceSetter does not have any textures applied to it. I have tried connected AppearanceStyler to AppearanceSetter directly and it also does not work. So I am assuming that perhaps the way that I am setting the appearance is wrong. Images attached below shows before and afterI have attached the .fme workspace. The .obj can be found here: (due to size limit here) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cg6wNNzllzl0M7O6ifciswnPfC_0z57s/view?usp=sharing 

Hi there, I am connecting to Vicmap as a Service (VAAS), which is an ESRI ArcGIS Service Feature Service, which will allow me to bring in the state property data and push it straight into our SQL Database. This will replace a weekly download of MapInfo files which are pushed into SQL via automated procedures. The ESRI data is in Vicgrid GDA2020 (EPSG:7899) and I am trying to push it out to SQL as UTM55S GDA2020 (EPSG:7855). It doesn't matter which projection tool or coordinate system tool I use the data still outputs as Lat Long with an SRID of 7844. Is there a way I can do this? I thought perhaps I need to output to a different file format and then reproject that file and push into SQL, but I'd rather avoid an extra step if possible. Regards, Josh

Why might I be getting a 401 or 404 when creating a web connection to FME Server from FME Workbench?

I have a database table that contains many attributes, one of which is controlled by a domain of acceptable values. I have a list containing a unique list of these valueI want to step through this list and each time through the loop select just the records from the table that would be selected if the unique value were inserted into in query:SELECT * FROM Table WHERE AttribInQuestion = WhateverColorFor instance, "Red" the first time through the loop would return:I've setup my Reader to read the SQL table I want to query, generated a List of my unique values, and created a TestFilter. The TestFilter works if I just type 'Red' into it, but I cannot figure out how to feed the filter a variable to save my life. I'm not asking about the looping (I've created a custom transformer for that), what I'm asking about is how to insert the 'Red' value into my filter using a variable? Thank you for any help you can provide. K

I have a workspace where permit data is joined to GIS data through a series of joins. That data is then written into separate feature classes. The 3 datasets in order are as follows BIN Join, BBL Join, a spatial join using the Point On Area Overlayer transformer. After all of these joins happen I'm dumping any remaining unjoined records into a point feature class called Fallout Points. However all of the records from the spatial join are ending up in the Fallout Points layer. How do I exclude them (or delete them after)?

I have 1,000's of 1km asc files which are simply named 1.. 10,000 which I wish to merge in to 5km asc files, and appropriately name with the correct OS Tile Ref. I have managed to perform a spatial filter and added the OS tile ref. I now wish to filter so all 1km tiles within an identified 5km tile go forward for merging. Is there a way to automatically filter based upon the present OS tiles without creating the individual condition filters manually?  

We are trying to create geopdfs for different defined area having multiple devices , features in them. Adding labels to symbols using LabelPointReplacer Parameters and set the label scale that most of the area fits to it. But few areas are having labels that are overlapping with the symbols as shown below Is there a way to adjust the scale based on different areas.  

In some cases I like to create cumulative statistics using the StatisticsCalculator. I'm glad it's kept as a Advanced option in the StatisticsCalculator. However, it feels a bit odd that the StatisticsCalculator seems to require/expect attributes for 'Summary statistics'. I.e. if I only want to create cumulative statistics, the StatisticsCalculator shows an error (Red Cogwheel) indicating; 'Parameter 'Statistics to Calculate: ' must have a value'; Although it's possible to ignore the error and run the translation, or provide a dummy attribute to calculate regular 'summary statistics', it doesn't feel fully correct. It would be nice to also have the option to only create Cumulative Statistics. I guess that may be possible by (also) embedding the regular 'summary statistics' in a Checked ParameterGroup (and be default checked).

Hello All, I have a Tester transformer that ideally produces no Failed outputs but I want to count the number of Failed outputs, even if its zero. I've tried a few things with no results. The Failed output from the tester doesn't seem to produce any data or if it does, I don't know how to access it. Thank you,Kevin

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 FME Workbench: "An error

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 error  PDFPageFormatter (PDFLayoutFactory): Invalid page object '<at>Value<openparen>Grootte<closeparen><space>=<space>Portrait' parameters 'MINX;-260;MINY;1152;WIDTH;255;HEIGHT;39;FIXED_ASPECT;Yes;CLIPPING_ENABLED;No'.  All point positions must be a pos

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 support Francesco

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)'?
