How to extract photo attachments from an fgdb esri file?

I am trying to access a JSON API by using a HTTPCaller and I am struggling with passing an array object as a Query String Parameter. The documentation for the 'extra' key I am trying to access looks like this. The code sample they give where you can see the 'extra' parameter as an array is here:{ "key": "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx", "query": "High Street", "country": "gbr", "id": "town=Maidenhead", "extra": { "exclude_areas": [ "gbr_channel_islands", "gbr_northern_ireland", "usa_non_contiguous" ], "exclude_pobox": true, "best_match_only": true, "no_groupings"

I have a workspace with a sql connection which can be ran with "run workspace" tool on FME server. However when I published it as a FME Server App (No authentication required) and ran the app resulted in this error. From completed jobs in FME Server UI, the two runs have the same user. And the user has full access to and is the owner of the connection. What could be the issue?

I would like to POST a zip file to a workspace in FME Server and read the shapefiles from it. The problem is that the shapefiles could be multiple directories deep. In workbench, I can use [**\\*.shp] as indicated here, but this is not retained on the FeatureReader dataset path when the zipfile is posted to the data streaming service in FME Server. Is there a way to achieve this?

I am currently working on a workflow that downloads a file from ArcGIS Online and I am then uploading the attachment to Cityworks via the API. The file is downloaded with a general name and I'd like to change the name of the file before passing to the API. I have done some digging on this forum and I am not seeing a way to dynamically change the file name based on other attributes in the middle of a workflow. Would I have to build a custom transformer to do this? Any ideas or examples appreciated, thanks!

Hi, I have a DFX file and would like to convert to an OBJ file, however it does not convert cleanly. Has anyone come across this and converted correctly. Many thanks

Using HTTP caller, how can I automatically fill-in the upload body? I am able to post the any test I paste in the upload body field, but I would like to fill in automatically the text of the upload body, with the output of an attribute manager.

I'm parsing data from an SFTP call to get the file name. I'm returning _list values that have all the FTP properties of each file. I use an AttributeCreator get the length of this string as an attribute (ListStringLength=69) --- @StringLength(@Value(_list))-rwxrwxrwx  1 user   278361 date 00137 0001539147T ABCDEFG1234567.jpg I'm also using the AttributeCreator to get the starting position of the file name based on the prefix as another attribute (StartingPosition=33) --- @FindString(@Value(_list),"00137 0001539147T")278361 Mar 21 09:49 00137 0001539147T ABCDEFG1234567.jpg From here, I tried to simply subtract.

Hello, I have a dataset in excel that I would like to simplify the data into a newly created status field. For example all records that are 1000 will be status A, all records that are 2000 will be status B, all records that are 3000 will be status C. I will then import the data into GIS to symbolize based on status. I am creating testers for each status type and then joining it all back together. I was wondering if there was a single transformer that I could put in all my criteria and have the status field updated. I think this should be fairly simple but not finding the right transformer. Thank you

Hi I have the intersection points in point feature. I want to have attribute field as the street address as 2 St/3 Ave. The street network has line features. is it possible to get this happened to point feature at intersection? thanks in advance.

I've looked all afternoon for the answer to this probably simple task. I am working with a feature class in a gdb. The feature class has a unique_id field that may may be populated with duplicate numbers or be null. I need to find all the dup ids or nulls, calculate them incrementally based on the last highest unique id while leaving the other records alone. I was able to put something together that seems to work when if I set the writer to overwrite existing gdb. Is there a way to do all of this and just update the existing gdb? I don't want to loose the other feature classes and tables in the gdb. I'm pretty new to FME!

I have a workspace which takes a dgn file(A) and matches it to another dgn file (B). dgn file (A) contains little changes everythime I have to run the workspace. These changes need to be braught to the second dgn file (B), and this workspace automatically (often succesfully) does that.  However, if I have run this workspace once, and then changed something to the first dgn (A), the reader will not automatically load the new data in dgn file (A).  I dont know how to fix this, obviously I dont want to delete the reader and put a new one back everytime a small change is made.  Is there anyway to make the reader completely reload the data everytime I run the workspace?

We used to have the following 'Emailer' Transformer in our FME Desktop /Server 2021.2.2 and it worked fine: However after upgraded to 2022.2.3, we experienced the following Python Exception error for Emailer:Any idea how to fix that? Thanks.

I have several Feature Classes in a FileGDB and would like to convert these into a Geopackage. Therefore I would like to remove/not read the different schema-names / Schema-prefixes.A Feature Class "WAS_LABEL/WAST_TEXT" would be read as "WAST_TEXT" without the schema-name/prefix.Is there an easy way to achieve that? The FeautureClass-Names in the geopackage need to be "flat" without schemanames...

Here is an example: I want to remove the small dots inside that circle. Thank you.

I am doing a simple SQL query that I created MS Sql Server. I pasted it into the SQL Creator and ran it, and it was successful. I then go to expose the attributes by populating them from the SQL Query, and nothing shows up. Below is my query. Can someone please tell me how to fix this. I have tried using the Delimiter statement at the top, but that doesn't work either. Here is the query: With AcscerRecdQry as (Select lpm.permit_no as PermitNumber, lpm.permit_id as PermitID, lpm.version as PermitVersion, gc.code_desc as PermitStatus, soclpm.soc_id as ScheduleID, soclpm.schedule_name as ScheduleName, (soclpm.ACSCERYearDue - 1) as ACSCERRptPeriod, soclpm.ACSCERYearDue, Case When (IsNull(soclpm.received_dttm,'') = '') Then 'No' Else 'Yes' End as ACSCERRecd, 'Permit Schedule Does Not Exist' as QA_

At our organization we have an extensive FME server installation with a lot of machines for the engines and cores. We have Apache tomcat 9.0.50 installed, but have a lot of issues with this version of tomcat in combination with fme server 2021.1. Our decision was to install a newer version, 9.0.68., recommended for fme server 2022.2. We succeeded to upgrade tomcat without deinstalling FME server. However we are interested if we can expect issues.with this version in the future. If you need more information please let me know.

Hi,there are lots of qstns about one to many joins.I want to understand what transformer to use to achieve a one to one spatial join based on geometry? I have a line in GIS that I want to analyse to see if there a geometry join to a line in CAD. This works fine with the SpatialFilter if there is only one line. however when GIS and CAD has two lines in close proximity the SpatialFilter is creating a many to one join by joining the Two GIS lines to the same CAD line. How do I create the one to one join please? thanks in advance

I am currently working on a project where I need to combine more than 20 personnel geodatabases  into a single one. The geodatabases have the same table field structure and also have attachments and relationships classes. I am using FME to perform this operation.I have  difficulty in achieving this effectively. I have tried using the "Feautre Merge” and tool in FME, but it seems that this tool does not take attachments into account. Therefore, I am looking for an alternative solution to combine these geodatabases while retaining attachments.I am sure that there must be a solution to this, and I would like to know if anyone could help me find a suitable solution. If anyone has worked on a similar project or has in-depth knowledge of FME, I would be delighted to hear your advice and suggestions.  

Hello, I have a table which needs to be written to PostGIS. One of my dataset columns contains a list of buffer distances for example 300, 200, 100m. It would be ideal to write this as an array to PostGIS for example {300, 200, 100}.  If the table already exists with an array column in PostGIS, FME will update the array correctly. If the table doesn't exist I can't see how to set the column type as an array in FME. Is it possible? Thanks :)

I need to clip the road with a bridge, and in the section of the road, where the road overlaps the bridge, change its attributes. Thanks in advance for your response

Hello everyone,  I used "featureReader" to read all CSV files from a specific directory via DirectoryPath and it works fine with me but I am surprised a little bit why I got duplicate data.  For example, if I have 3 files, it counts the read 9. What is the best way to ready all CSV files fast and quickly?  Do you advise to enable the cache files?  

Hello everyone,I am trying to convert dgn (Microstation) to dwg (Autocad), but for some reason the blocks are in my dwg unrotated. In Microstation those are called cells. Does anyone know how I can get the cells rotated in the dwg file? The igds_rotation attribute does show the rotation values in case of Microstation (see below for some example values)and I read somewhere online that the attribute name that holds the rotation value in case of autocad was 50. I could be wrong though. In the output (dwg) the cells are unrotated. It might thus be due to the fact that I stored the rotation value for autocad under the wrong name. 

I'm looking for a way to upload to an azure file storage with a new filename. I eventually want to expose an FME server app that will allow the user to upload any raster file, and then will upload that file to the Azure Storage and call a few REST APIs afterwards. I have a basic workbench working on my machine that can implement the workflow.  The issue is, we can't have any spaces or periods in the filenames in the Azure storage, but I want to allow the user to upload rasters without changing the name. I have not found a way to be able to rename the file before or during the upload. I have experimented with using a Feature writer transformer with the File Copy writer to create a temporary file then using the temp file path in the Azure File Storage Connector but I'm struggling to even rename copies there. I realize I could probably do hacky stuff like use a systemcaller to rename the file, but if I need to do that I'm not sure what the ad

In Salesforce, they have a feature called "Platform Events" where the fields are defined in Salesforce. Does FME have an existing connector or an app for this and can FME also publish changes to the "Platform Events"?Thank you
