GeometryExtractor does not keep polygons orientation in geoJSON

Hey I think I found a bug in the GeometryExtractor, where the geoJSON writer and the GeometryExtractor that writes geoJSON geometry to an attribute lead to different results. I have a sample workbench where I buffer a point, the GeometryExtractor writes the coordinate following the wrong orientation (clockwise vertex order) but the geoJSON writer generates the correct geoJSON (counter-clockwise vertex order).is there any way to fix it? I need to write the geoJSON geometry string into an attribute. Thank you,Andrea

How to create geometry based on an attribute

Hi, I do some requests over an api to get some features.As result I have some attributes for each feature. One of them is containing the coordinates (lat,lon)Something like this:52.2413243,10.5215958,52.2411936,10.5215612,52.2410751,10.5215738,52.2409598,10.5215146...Is there a simple way to use the geometry attribute with structure lat,lon,lat,lon… and convert these values to vertices? I assume I have to use vertexcreator? But I do not want to define all nodes separate. Does someone know a smart way to do this in fme ? Thanks in advance

How to append one workspace dataset onto another workspace dataset

I have 2 datasets within my workspace and wish to append the contents from one into the other.  Will need to map fields as they are not named the same.  (or can do an attributerenamer step beforehand. ) No join clause is required, it’s just a simple append.What are the recommended steps?

Just sharing - parallel lmits fmeworker (FME Form)

So I have a big job to process and I’m trying to work out some theoretical numbers for the client (a rough estimate on the processing time range depending on various factors). I want to leverage the fmeworker limit of 16 parallel threads (I’m assuming a machine with essentially unlimited resources) because the fme.exe limit is 8.I have a batch job of many tiles with many rasters and features which all need to be processed at once. The easy thing to do is to just throw it to the workspace runner but the license only gives me 7-8 parallel threads (which is probably more than enough to be fair, most likely CPU will not be the bottle neck).Anyways for fun I did a test to see what the limit was on the number of parallel groups to send through a custom transformer when parallel processing was on. I pretty quickly got the following error: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsf_6 (TransformFact): Transformer 'ThreadLimitTester': Unable to create worker; try reducing the pa

Export LandXML without creating parcels?

Hello, I’m using the LandXML writer to export a surface. However, FME creates two Parcels, in addition to the surface (that i created based on a point cloud). These Parcels cause problems when trying to import the surface into some software. Civil 3D works fine, since it support Parcels, but for other software it does not work. Is there a way to NOT create parcels when exporting the LandXML?

How to make a 3D building in FME

HelloI have 8 building surfaces with z-value. I also have a ground model. I wonder how to get the building surface to go down to the ground model so that there are sides, 4 sides that go down to the ground model. Now the building surface floats above the ground model in arcgis pro. I want to take the result into arcgis pro.What transformers do I need to process my 8 building surfaces so that they become blocks that correspond to a building.Now it looks like this in arcgis pro:

FME Server REST API : get automation tasks/items

Is it possible to retrieve automation tasks/items using the FME Server REST API? Specifically, I’m trying to find all workspaces that are run by automations and I’d also need to determine the published parameters passed to each workspace.The Schedules and Notifications (Subscriptions) REST API methods allow all “items” to be retrieved, which provides access to the workspace details but this does not seem to be exposed in the REST API for Automations…I’m using FME Server 2019.2.2 Build 19817 - win64.

SharepointOnlineConnector and web connection woes

Hi all.I’ve tried to setup a connection to a list of files on a (customer) Sharepoint service without much success.I’ve read multiple other questions about it here, and some provided useful help (prompt=login), but most does not address my issues.The customer has created the site, and provided me with tenant and client IDs, and client secret. And he has created an “app” with an approval of my client (FME Form).First I tried to create a web service, but never got the “Test...” to work. First it erred insisting on getting an approval, but “prompt=login” solved that, but not it errs with a “refresh token” error.The same happens when I try to create a new web connection using the web service in a SharepointOnlineConnector.I then saw that there was an alternative use, using FeatureReader with “Microsoft Sharepoint List”, and here I was able to create a web connection using the previous web service unaltered. Sofar it can only access root douments, but the connection works, it seems.But now

AGOL Feature Service Writer resets visibility when using 'Truncate Existing'

I’m using the ESRI ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer to update a layer in AGOL.  I have it configured as per the screenshot below.After it runs, the layer in AGOL is visible when zoomed all the way out!So, I then republish the layer in ArcGIS Pro and it fixes the layer so that it now disappears when zoomed out (I could also do this directly in AGOL).I then change the FME writer to ‘Use Existing’ (and not ‘Truncate Existing’) and re-run the translation.This time it works without affecting the AGOL layer visibility.So I change the FME writer back to ‘Truncate Existing’ (and not ‘Use Existing’) and re-run the translation.It breaks the AGOL layer visibility again!I plan to use something like this to update many layers, and I cannot have them all visible when zoomed out.  It would be a complete mess.Am I doing something wrong? How can I update the data (including deleting features) without affecting the AGOL layer’s visibility?(The issue occurs for both 'Insert' and 'Upsert'.  I’m using

Create new field to ArcGIS Portal Feature

Hello,Is it possible to write new fields in ArcGIS Portal Feature Service with a writer ?I’m getting that message : ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Attribute 'NAME' on feature type 'Roads' does not match any field on the corresponding layer/table. The attribute will be ignored I can’t believe I have to create those fields with ArcGIS Pro, publish the layer and than run my workbench. Update:OK I just found out that I need my fields to be in lowercase to make it work.But for some reasons some field type are not working.Is there any existing list of all the constraints we need to follow for the fields in Portal? That would save me time! Thanks!

Strange characters appearing instead of date

I have a script that pulls numerous datasets together, formats them into a consistent set of attributes and then writes them to .TAB files.I’m having difficulty with date field (STARTD) in the final output because although appearing to be correct in the .TAB files, ArcPy is not able to detect the dates in the .TAB files and instead shows the data as odd characters. Please see the image below for more information. Has anyone seen this before or aware of how to fix the issue? I’m not sure if there is a setting in my FME script that may need to be amended.
