What I want: I want to read a list of pdf files and write metadata of these files to a postgresql database. The attributes I want to export are number of pages, file name, file path and file id (which I create through the UUIDGenerator).  I start with a PATH reader to find all pdf files from this folder through all the subfolders. The problem is I also want to add the number of pages of each pdf file to the output table and I don't think I can find this with the PATH reader.  Therefore I included a PDF reader and have found the number of pages of each pdf. Now the problem is - how do I combine the output of these two readers? I have tried to use Featurejoiner and Featuremerger but both of these requires a common attribute to join on. But I can't find a format attribute in the two readers that is unique. Is there a way to index the attribute tables of each reader? Or is there some much easier way to perform this action?  I have included a screenshot of my workspace until now.

I have a very large 3D OBJ file and wanted to convert to 3D Cesium Tiles. The Cesium Writer only creates to tile outputs that are huge (650-900 MBytes). Is there a way of introducing LOD and enable more tiles to be created with smaller tile size?

Does FME have the ability to export Milsoft's Windmil .gdb to an Esri .gdb?

I am trying to connect to a map service hosted on another organization's ArcGIS Server. I have the credential for the service and able to connect through the REST endpoint on a browser. When I try to connect using the ArcGIS Server Feature reader, I get the error that a token is required. I read on community blog that some people had to set up a web connection using a Portal template .It looks like this requires and AppID from the Portal, which I can't obtain since I am no admin and it is from a different organization. What are my options then?  Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

hello , i would like to know if all my data are Esri objects or not How could I do that ?i am using oracle developer , and FME 2021

I'm new here and need to filter data from a Odata feed. The feed contains open data so no need for credentials. When I add an Odata reader and paste below URL, I can choose several feeds. The main one is named: TypedDataSet​https://opendata.cbs.nl/ODataFeed/odata/82062NED​​The direct link to main Odata feed is: https://opendata.cbs.nl/ODataFeed/odata/82062NED/TypedDataSet​It contains data from 2012 tot 2023 April. I only need data from 2022 and higher. I found some tips for filtering like placing?$filter=Perioden gt 2021MM12 but this doesn't work. I think I'm almost there and only need to figure out the right syntax. Can anyone help me?Thanks in advanced!Cheers Richard ​

I have several shapefiles in different UTM coordinate system. I want to:a. reproject each of them into LL84b. Then merge the re-projected feature into a single shapefile I need help in a. Merge features after reprojecting them.b. Find a better way to do it than the way I am trying to do it (see image below). As you can see, I am stuck and I do not know how to do the last part. 

I am working with a forest geopackage, in which small forest roads, rocky areas and other surfaces are not included in the forest layer. What I am looking to do is to make all these spaces part of the forest area. I tried with Area gap and overlap cleaner but I didn't get results, because the problem is that there are roads that I would like to keep as such or other surfaces that I don't want to be converted to forest. Any idea how to proceed?

I have a dynamic workflow that writes spatial data from a MS SQL Server to a postgis database. Since my inital data is not always restrictive on geometry types, I want to ensure that Geometry types are well defined in my destination database. I had an issue with mixed lines and multilines that I solved using an aggregator (destination geometry (multilinestring) ) but I had some geometry collections creating some issues when writing data so I added a GeometryFilter. Visually no feature is filtered (only lines) and the writing is doing great. Removing this filter will make the writing fail.  My question is then : Is the GeometryFilter altering the data or the way the data is presented to the writer? 

I thought I should have two lists, one with the current Xs and Ys and another with the same Xs and Ys and some defined heights as their Zs. And then make some lines between these two lists and after that make the cylinders. Can anybody help me to implement it?

Hi guysim trying to craete a workbench to backup my agol group content into local shapefiles. ideally i want to use _name (feature service name) as folder names so web layers (using fme_feature_type as dynamic shapefile name) goes into each folders by their service name.  however, for some reason the fanout option couldnt work. Also tried to create attribtue with the output file path then use it as destination esri shapefile folder on the writter - this solution doesnt work neither. wondering if anyone know a good practice for this? Thanks!

Hello, I'm currently working on .dgn files  I am using FME to make attribute changes and adjustments. However, I have the impression that FME automatically divides the objects or cells in my plan, as soon as I enter my .dgn data in the script, without any transformers being used...  Here's an overview of the data before and after FME: I also tried using an aggregator. But the objects and geometry in the output dgn file are still not aggregated as in the original dgn file (see the second photo).I would like the geometry of the objects not to be affected. Have you ever had this problem, and if so, do you have a solution to solve it? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am trying to use the S3Connector to upload/ download from an s3bucket.  Just to test this out i have setup a AWS web connection and i am trying to list all the files in the folder FMS/ I keep getting the following error:S3Connector: There was an error connecting to Amazon S3: 'Failed to connect to proxy URL: . Confirm that your credentials and region settings are correct. Some regions are not publicly available - contact AWS for more information I have played about with the proxy settings but im not entirely sure that is the issue as i have a python script that uses all the same credentials and proxy settings and that works okay. Im on FME version 2022.0 and using s3 connector version 2.1.2 Any advice would be appreciated

Hi there,I am working on two IFC files i.e. version_4x and version_2x3. At some point, I want to get or write this version in database. I failed to find any transformer to read or get the exact .ifc version. Is there a way to do that?

Hello everyone,  I am currently working with .DGN files.My goal is to create a new DGN file with new values in the "igds_cell_name" field. I would like to know if it is possible to modify the "igds_cell_name" attribute value??? Because at the moment, 

Hi, I'm looking for some additional explanation on parallel processing using the workspacerunner transformer. There's 20 batches of GDB-data (all separate gdb's to prevent locking).When I use the workspace runner to use 1 workspace to run 4 parallel instances using different input and output geodatabases (no locking is occuring) for all 20 batches something goes wrong. I cant tell what is causing issues because the logs are incomprehensible. Does every instance keep overwriting the log file? I see that it executes the command to run in a rapid order while each feature is expected to run around 5 minutes. After waiting and seeing all FME processes finish in my Task Manager i only see around 4 output geodatabases made. I need to see: 20. However: I tried to fix it. I use Text-reader and Text-writer to create 1 .fmw for each batch: so 20 fme models. I use each model 1 time in each parallel process. Meaning: unique input gdb, unique output gdb, using unique fme workspace. This

Is it possible to read curved annotation from File Geodatabase and write it to ArcSDE with zero/minimal distortion? Note: Source and Destination feature count should match. Thank you.

Dear all,  I am trying to do the following : I have a yes/no user parameter that determines if additional output files are written or not. At several steps of the workflow, if this parameter is set to 'yes', intermediary files are written (before the final output file).  To implement that, before all the intermediary writers, I put a sampler (to go through the filter with a single feature instead of the > 300'000 features of my data) followed by a TestFilter inside which I test the value of the parameter. It works but I don't find it very ''elegant''. And as I am new to FME, I was wondering, what would be the more "FMEic-way" to implement it ? Does a transformer (or something like a junction?) exist which would act as a ''gateway'' and pass the data further downstream ONLY if a certain condition is met ? Thanks in advance for any information

I found a VPF Coverage Reader. For Writing, the only VPF writer is VPF-DB which doesn't write VPF Coverages.Please advise if there is any add-on tool to write VPF Coverage.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to write some zip files using the blobStorageConnector. Now i have this in a folder that i want to upload direct to the root of my blobstorage account but the transformer requires a container to be selected to be able to write. I want my new folder to be the container. I can specify a container and write to it but i don't want a nested folder structure if i don't need one. So my structure would look like the below image.

How to create 3d visualisation for a pit like structure of rectangular shape or any shape pit for that matter. Thank you.
