I need to read multiple geodatabases from url, where some geodatabases are at the root folder, and some in subfolders.I tried to follow the article here, but already the initial schema reader fails. I set the source to https://arealdata-api.miljoeportal.dk/download/**/*.gdb. The error message I get is: Unable to connect to the File Geodatabase at 'HTTPS:\\arealdata-api.miljoeportal.dk\\download\\**'. Make sure the correct filename was specified, and that the Geodatabase wasn't saved with a newer version of ArcGIS than the one installed locally. The error number from

From a program called topocad I receive building models drawn from drone point cloud. In order to build more complicated parts of the building, they are generated using extrude-> intersect. This creates geometry problems when imported into sketchup with tiny segments, duplicate overlapping points and as result, polygons, or missing polygons. I have tried to snap and repair using areagapoverlaycleaner, 3d snapper, geometry validator with no luck. I'm missing something in the process of data cleaning in fme so I ask for some tips. #1 gml->gml routine . #2 double lines created that snap to vertices .001 mm apart. #3 how it looks when imported

Hi All I have a URL in the format http://blah.com/images/{index] where the maximum index value will be the total number of records minus 1. So for three images the indexes would be 0, 1, 2 What is the best way to take the attribute imagecount and loop to the URL for the correct number of times starting at zero??? Just getting a bit confused now....Regards 

Hi all.When running a FeatureReader normally, it outputs the schema feature for a given dataset before all features. This enables writing to a dynamic writer.However, when attaching the dynamic writer to a previously run (and cached) FeatureReader, and then asking for playback, it seems that the schema features are apparently _NOT_ played back before the corresponding features from the same transformer, crashing the writer.Is it true, is this really WAD ?It kinda ruins the idea of incrementally building and debugging a workspace.Cheers.

I installed FME Server 2022.2.2 on Windows Server using Express. I told setup to use the wrong* password for Postgres `fmeserver` database user. How do I change the password after the fact, without going through the whole install process again? I know the password is stored in fmeDatabaseConfig.txt in the FME Server installation directory and how to encrypt the password. But that's how to change what FME passes to the db, not what is stored in the db. I need to c

Hi,Is there any way to read an image from a excel sheet or expose the hidden attribute/row that contains it?Thanks

Hi I'm currently trying to combine 2 datasets based on a shared set value where table 1 attribute 1 ex. = 500, and table 2 Attribute1 also = 500, and there would be duplicate 500 values in both datasets so to do an effective Join I'm attempting to also join on *closest mileage value, the mileage is not exactly the same between the two tables so it would need to be within rage or closet to sort of function where first the join would be attribute 1 being the same between both tables and then joining table 2 to table 1 where the mileage from table 2 is cloest to table 1 mileage.

I use FME for updating several things in AutoCAD drawings (dwg) and writing out to new drawings using acad reader and writer. At present, when the new drawing is completed, the autocad_entity_handle is different on each object in the new drawing.  Is there any way to preserve the original autocad_entity_handle from the original drawing in the new drawing?Thanks!

Hello all, I am trying to write some data to my SDE geodatabase(file), and I tried two transformers to achieve my goals: Feature writerI got an error: invalid cursor state from the database. When I filtered one row and run the writer, the data were successfully injected, but some of the injected data are different from the intended data. For example, a foreign key needs to be injected as 5 but it's injected as null or 2 in a different row. Please see the setting below. Python CallerI used Geometry extractor to write the shape attribute, Shape@XY with the value (longitude, latitude), and then used arpy.cursor.insurtRow to insert the data under the input function using feature.getAttribute method. I got an error: the INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint.

Using the AttributeConcatinator transformer, how do I represent a blank space in the Separator String: data entry?

We need this to be able to post the attribute to an API which requires one of the other File Structure types than the default

I have a stream of features containing polygons and multipolygons.I would like to identify only the polygons and promote them to multipolygons (containing one polygon). I tried GeometryAggregator but it is converting multipolygons into geometryCollection(multipolygon) which I don't want.Must be something simple that I just can't see. Any help appreciated.Simon

Hi, I made a workspace to create INSPIRE datasets. When checking whether the created INSPIRE GML is valid, I wanted to add an XML Schema Validation step into the process. When doing so however, I noticed that in FME's XMLValidator I get two Validation Errors;no declaration found for element 'so:soilProfileObservation'element 'so:soilProfileObservation' is not allowed for content model '(metaDataProperty*,description?,descriptionReference?,identifier?,name*,boundedBy?,location?,inspireId?,localIdentifier?,WRBSoilName,otherSoilName*,validFrom,validTo?,beginLifespanVersion,endLifespanVersion?,isDescribedBy+,location)' See also below screenshot;If I however validate the GML using either (the XMLTools plugin) of Notepad++, or INSPIRE's validat

Hello, I have a digital model in ifc format that I want to convert to CityGML format in FME and then integrate it into a Postgis database. I want the model to keep its characteristics at the end of the process.

Its possible to write the TAGs but in MicroStation the tags do not work.I use FME 2016Thx for help.

Customer has a working migration chain on FME 2021.2.5 and we would like to upgrade to 2022.2. At first, I started extracting data using FeatureReader from our source (Oracle Spatial), but I have strange warning message in the log and not all data all extracted from the source.  Warning message in the log relates to entries in ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA which are all set correctly – I would mention once more that data reading from Oracle using same workbench in 2021.2.5. is working. Here is the warning message: Execution of statement `SELECT table_name, column_name, (SELECT COUNT(*) from TABLE(META.diminfo)) dcount, SRID FROM ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA META WHERE ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA.owner = '<SOURCE_SCHEMA>''did not succeed; error was `ORA-00904: "ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA"."<OWNER>": invalid identifier'.

Hi all.I'm using a dynamic writer to output a series of features as tables in an SQL Server database, adding a fixed schema name in the "Table Qualifier" parameter.However, FME completely ignores this setting, and outputs all features to the default "dbo" schema.I've then tried to add it to the "Table Name" parameter (with "fme_feature_type_name" in "Schema Definition Name"), but then it just errs because the data features "fme_feature_type" now contains my added schema.Is this really WAD ?Why doesn't the dynamic writer accept and use the setting in "Table Qualifier" ?? 

For example:In the parameters dialog of the writer-plugin a file was chosen from the hard disc and the filename is availiable in the parameters list.Now if we add the FeatureTypeImporter in the FME via Writers - Import Feature Types ... and select in the Format: field the FeatureTypeImporter we want to have this file displayed in the Dataset: field.The Dataset field is defined in the fmf file of the FeatureTypeImporter and a default value is set there.There also exists a parameter in the writer fmf file for this file.

Hello, I have an FME Server Workspace that uses a Python Caller to write custom EXIF tags to a JPG.  I want these images to be provided directly to the user via data streaming. The only way I have found to accomplish this so far is to pass the image path to a filecopy writer. This works OK - It will display the image, and if saved - it will retain the custom EXIF tags - however, when saving the image - it wants to save it as the .fmw workbench name (and .fmw as the filetype).  Does anyone have any suggestions to get around this? It seems that the mime-type isn't coming across using the data streaming.  FYI - I have tried a JPG writer at the end (feature reader - feature writer), but this cuts out the custom EXIF tags.

Hi, I have a need to convert ellipsoid heights to a height datum (Australian Geoid 2020). I currently have the geoid in a dat/gem/gdf/gsb. Is there a way I can open and of these in FME to make one of the grids that FME accepts? I wish to use the CSMapReprojector I have tried to rename the dat file from Geoscience Australia as a txt but that does not work This is the list FME accepts, via a gdc filehttps://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop/CoordSys/vertical_grids.htm Does anyone have any ideas? I can seem to find anywhere to convert any of these formats

I've found not documentation around any name formatting limitations for Attributes for the Hyper file Writer. When I work in Tableau Prep, I have no issues writing a file with a field name like "Budget$" to a hyper file. I've found in FME that when writing to an Excel file, it also takes such a name, but when using the Hyper writer, it drops the "$" and replaces it with underscore "_". Why is it doing this? Is this a mistake in creating the code for the Writer or is it a Necessity and if it is a necessity, shouldn't this be documented?

IfcPresentationLayerAssignment is the entity where autocad layer information is stored in my ifc model. I can see that it is included in the ifc-file by reading it as plain text. However I can't seem to expose that entity in FME. I have tried different combinations of AttributeExposer, GeometryPropertyExtractor and listexploder. Is there anyway to expose that attribute and its values in FME?

Hello, I’ve used FME Desktop in the past to convert a planning applications shp (points) file to a csv file for use in PowerBI. To get data working in PowerBI certain set fields need to exist (in the output csv) that are not in the planning apps shp file: Name, Icon and Color (sic). This is where Name is typically the main reference value in the dataset (e.g.: the site name or an planning ID), Icon is the name of the icon type to be used in PowerBI (e.g.: hexagon-thick) and Color is the colour PowerBI uses for the icon (e.g.: #8B0000). So, when creating this output csv for use in PowerBI I read in the shp, connected to a AttributeReprojector to convert to LL-WGS84 (because the source shp was in EPSG:27700 and PowerBI requires LL-WGS84). I then connected to an AttributeManager where I 1) renamed the Planning application number field to 'Name', 2) added a new field called 'Icon' (with the value of ‘hexagon-thick’ for all record

Is it possible to read all layer names from a DWG source file? By all I also mean the layers which do not have any features on them. For example, if I have a DWG file with the following layers and numbers of features on them:L_01 (with 10 features)L_02 (without any feature)L_03 (with 1 feature)L_04 (without any feature)I want to somehow get access to all the layer names, i.e. L_01, L_02, L_03, and L_04 in FME, even though L_02 and L_04 do not have any features. Alternatively, is there a way to convert a DWG file to a DXF file such that all layers are preserved (i.e. , again, also those that do not have any features on them)?
