FME Form

I have hundreds of shapefiles in different folders and subfolders. I would like to create an excel file that shows three columns: ​Col1 = Name of .shp fileCol2 = Geometry of .shp fileCol3 = Directory/Path of .shp file For Transformers, I think I need to start with Creator - FeatureReader, then I get stuck.

We have a workspace on a FME Server that creates PDF files using Adobe Geospatial PDF Writer in FeautreWriter.The files are transported into another system via PDF.js. Apparently PDF.js can't transport tagged PDF-files (?). Can I somehow make the FeatureWriter creater non-tagged PDF-files?Or is there other ways to get around this issue?

Hello,I would like to creat a server app in version beta 2023 and I have some user parameters in my workspace that use the conditional visibility. After publishing the workspace in FME Server 2023, the order of user parameters get wrong (using conditional visibility, after selecting an option, the next parameter should be displayed under or after the first parameter but it displays before the first parameter and it is confusing)Do you have any idea how can I fix the order in FME Server? Thanks

Hi all, I try to use the ArcGISOnlineConnector to update an existing Survey123 Form item on ArcGIS Online, but no success this far.  When I choose Request type 'Update' and upload a zip-file with the same contents as downloaded via the 'Download' action I get the fme_rejection_message:"file must have AGOL item type 'Form'" and fme_rejection_code INVALID_FILE. When I slightly adjust the downloaded zip file by removing the folder 'esriinfo', leave its contents intact and zip these files again with the same file name, it still shows this rejection code. This latter file structure is actually the same as in a blog post by Esri that demonstrates how to use the AGOL REST API and update the item in a Python script. So I expect this to work:

I have a json-file (see attachment) that contains the coördinates of a circular route. It looks like this:{ "segments": [{  "geometry": {   "type": "LineString",   "coordinates": [    [50.814103, 4.521174],    [50.81309, 4.521811],    [50.80626, 4.536902],    [50.80482, 4.538866],    [50.80573, 4.541452],    [50.80621, 4.543173],    [50.80705, 4.545501],    [50.80755, 4.546541],    [50.80777, 4.546841],    [50.80919, 4.547739],    [50.8096, 4.548199],    [50.81052, 4.550243],    [50.810663, 4.551096]   ]  },  {  "geometry": {   "type": "LineString",   "coordinates": [    [50.810663, 4.551096],    [50.81065, 4.555264],    [50.81071, 4.555622]   ]  },... I want to convert it t

Is it possible to change the name of a repository on FME server (2022 to be specific)? If so how?

Is there a possibility to suppress annoying WARN messages of the 'Autodesk AutoCAD RealDWG DWG/DXF' FeatureReader? Please see the following example:I use the AutoCAD reader to read features from an DWG file. I am only interested in the features of one specific layer (specified by a user parameter):Hence, the AutoCAD reader reads the file and skips all layers but the specified one.  In the log, the reader starts writing which layers are skipped. These messages are written at 'Information' level. After writing the 10th skip message, it writes a message "Further instances of this message will be suppressed" on WARN level. -----As text:2023-03-23 14:17:38|  1.8| 0.0|INF

How do I Copy SHAPE column from an ESRI GDB feature class to a non spatial Postgres database?

Dear FME Community,I am currently working on a project that involves a vector point file containing electricity power plants. As part of my quality control process, I need to check if there are any power plants that overlap with the point file.I am wondering if there is an automatic way to check for this overlap, as there would be two situations, one where point file is overlapping with power plant in satellite imagery, or else it is not. I want to ensure the accuracy of the data and identify any potential errors. We can hover to locations and find it, but can there be something more in an automated way?I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions from the FME community on how to best approach this quality control challenge. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi! I have a workspace where I mainly use a PDF reader to read around 5000 pdf:s in folders and subfolders (defined by the dataset “…\\**\\*.pdf”).The workspace is large and quite complex but the thought is to take the pdf file name, which is an object ID, and combine it with other files that contain the IDs coordinates, etc. The pdfs contain other info on the objects that get extracted through its predetermined local coordinates.The workspace has worked excellently, but since recently it doesn’t complete. The only change I recall is that the amount of pdf:s keep increasing as times goes by. I’d say that last time it worked was then it contained around 3000-4000 files.I also find the reasons for the error to be sporadic. Mainly the workspace runs though a few hundred pdf:s, but eventually I get the message that the pdf cannot be opened “because the file is not in PDF format, or because it is corrupted”. Sometimes the program just crashes. The pdf can be individu

Hi,I have a workflow where I need to forecast particular values. The formula to calculate this forecast value (in Attribute A) needs to reference the previous feature in Attribute A, but the AttributeManager doesn't allow you to reference ajacent features (in this case, previous) for the same attribute. Is there a way I can do this? I wonder if a looping process would help. Thanks

I have a request to convert some postgis geom data into TopoJSON. However they want the output to be single combined file similar to what is produced by https://mapshaper.org/ I can easily create individual TopoJSON files in FME. (Simple read postgis and connect to TopoJSON writer.) But I have not figured how I can produce a combined file with multiple objects in it like what is done with mapshaper.org site.  I uploaded sample TopoJson output files from FME and the sample combined file from mapshaper.  I figure this will likely need some type of python code, which is fine, but I'm hoping to not install any additional modules outside what FME provides.  Currently using FME 2020.2. That is what company uses. But I can use new FME version if it had options for doing this in some update.

I am getting the following error when I use the ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Multiple Global IDs defined for feature type 'd_y_n'. This is not permitted." I am trying to copy the data from one ArcGIS Online (AGOL) hosted feature layer to another hosted feature layer with the identical schema. The source is a view-only feature layer, and the target is an editable, blank duplicate of the source. The target has hasVersionData=false and supportsApplyEditsWithGlobalIDs=true. All layers with attachments have global IDs defined and all attachment relationships are defined to use GlobalIDs as keys. In the Writer parameters, I have tried Use Global IDs=No and also UseGlobal IDs=Yes and Preserve Global IDs=Yes. I still get the same error with either of these cases. What might be going on here? I can't say I really know what the error is getting at. Might the problem be that there is

Hello,I would like to ask. If you look at the attached file with an editor that can display binary characters, you will see how individual requests start with these binary characters ( ef-bb-bf ). Why do these signs occur? How do I remove them?Thank you

Also, I put the .gtf file in the customTransformations folder. It could not find either. (I use ArcGIS Interoperability extension and the directory that I used is "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Esri\\Data Interoperability (x86)\\reproject\\EsriPEGridData\\customTransformations" for .gtf and C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Esri\\Data Interoperability (x86)\\reproject\\EsriPEGridData\\ntv2\\canada for.GSB)

Hello, We are looking to use an Active Directory group as a Role in FME Server. I'm able to import an AD group and use the Load Template button to grant the AD Group the same set of permissions as the "fmeadmin" role. The Load Template dialog does not have superuser role as an option. Is it possible to set up an AD group as superuser role? Thanks,Vu Dang  

In this article - Woody describes a custom HTTP caller using a parameter to call PBI API. Idea: Power BI Writer (safe.com), I don't really need a writer, I am looking for a way to use the HTTP caller and liked the post about using parameters.I have followed Microsoft's instruction for registering an APP. I can use MS docs to call the API to refresh a dataset. I have done the same with Postman. I am stuck trying to do the same with FME.Thank you - Tim Woods
