FME Form

When I add a shapefile reader or DWG reader in the same manner, it takes very little time to navigate my way to the shapefile location. I do not understand the difference. If they all took the same amount of time I might conclude it had something to do with my directory structure.

Hi,We have noticed a difference of behaviour in the GeometryValidator transformer in FME 2020.1 and 2021.2 without upgrading the transformer. A sample geometry in WKT : LINESTRING (45.02687462450092 0.06721615791320801,45.025979838437365 0.06841778755187988,45.02593434046724 0.06878256797790527,45.02601017039738 0.06899714469909668,45.02638931854123 0.06853580474853515,45.02621491070693 0.06806373596191406,45.02639690147848 0.0685572624206543,45.02660922331399 0.0685572624206543,45.02700353320486 0.06818175315856933) The transformer is configured as such :And we have the following results in FME 2020.1/2021.2 :In FME 2021.2, the geometry fails OGC Simple while it doesn't in FME 2020.1. One of the issue with that, is that the geometry is being repaired in FME 2020.1 but not in FME 2021.2. I have noticed that version 8 of the transformer made the OGC checks stricter, but the transformer was not upgraded and is still at version 4. Is there any way to restore the old behaviour?

I have two shapefile data, and one label which I created through MapTextLabeller. I have then in DataInspector the view with these 2 shapefiles and text above them. The question is can i generate raster tiles from it, and store it as GeoTIFF?

I have a workbench script that makes multiple ggplots (graphs) for end-user reports. The Rcaller works great in FME Server without error, but it will not export the plots. The output excel files export, but not the plots.

I would like to combine 2 datasets: one containing about 500 monument_id's and one with about 20 types with scores and remark fields that should be added to this monument_ids (to create a list of about 10.000 items).  As there is no attribute value to match (so FeatureJoiner or ReatureMerger doesn't work); can these somehow be combined based on predefined matching attribute names? Or what would be a good idea in this case? Thanks in advance!

Hello there are vertex at equal distance (0.100) but these are unnecessary, only one vertex in 1m is enough. How can I remove the vertex in between, I looked for vertex remover, but I think I am doing something wrong, can you help me please? Additional information: There are always 10 vertexes in 1m.

Hello, couldn't really describe the problem in the Question field but to sum it up, I have a table of X/Y/Z that represent contours (see on photo)Meaning that between the "*" there is an independent contour, first one having 5 vertices, next one having 7 and so forth. Now I want to enter these vertices into a contour generator, but in the way that that Transformer creates separate contours from the "*" grouping, instead of a whole binge of criss-cross connected lines. Probably best way to do this would to give each vertex group a common ID and then run contour generator with Group by "ID". But how on earth do I group based on the logic:if X is within two * then it belong to the same group, then after the latter * there is a new group with a seperate ID and so forth? -Please send help :D

I have been asked to convert network vector data to raster tiles using the MBTiles writer. For my specified dataset zoom levels 5 - 10 have been requestedProducing this hasn't been an issue but the problem is that the requestor wants a single MBTiles file and my workspace outputs 313, the number of rasters generated.How can output a single MBTiles file that still contains all the zoom_level, tile_column and tile_row attribution required to use the raster files in a leaflet map?   

I try to use the new CSW Reader.  At the moment i only get the summary version of the metadata. I´m looking for a way to set the get-Parameters, so i can specify:&resultType=results&outputFormat=application/xml&outputSchema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&typeNames=csw:RecordMaybe some of you has an idea. best regardsandylicht

We are currently using FME to run the process to convert GDA94 Zone 55 ( EPSG : 28355) ECW file into GDA2020 Zone 55 ( EPSG : 7855) , the output ECW was projected to the right location, but the CRS was not recognized by QGIS or other GIS platform. I have the FME bench as attached for your reference, could you please let me know if I missed any configuration settings or should use different transformer?

I'm trying to run a python shutdown script and get this error - "The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server" I've also tried calling the script from cmd line and get this in the engine log - "Thu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6   File "createaprx.py", line 9, in <module>Thu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6    import arcpyThu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6   File "C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\Resources\\ArcPy\\arcpy\\__init__.py", line 77, in <module>Thu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6    from arcpy.geoprocessing import gpThu-19-Jan-2023 10:02:35.348 AM  INFORM  Thread-1100  WP301_Engine6   File "C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\Resources\\ArcPy\\arcpy\\geoprocessing\\__init__.py", line 14,

I am trying to project a .ecw file from LL WGS84 to a custom local coordinate system. Using the ESRI reprojector I am able to select the custom output coordinate system (it is Nad27 UTM feet) and the proper geographic transformation. The log file of the result seems to indicate that the process is using the correct parameters, however the resulting dataset is UTM meters and has an EPSG 26717 code (even though I explicitly set the parameter to 'Never use EPSG code' for the projection). It seems to always revert to ecw format of 2 so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it. Many thanks for any assistance.

Is there a way to convert an fgdb point file with attachments to sqlserver? Should the photo attachments be stored outside of sqlserver in a separate file? I can convert the point file but how to handle the associated attachments is the problem. thanks 

I'm looking for some help to use SQL in 'where clauses' for FME Readers.I'm trying to read from an ArcSDE database, using SQL operations like GROUP BY or DISTINCT. But I am under the impression that ArcSDE is not compatible with more complex statements than the simple terms like: equals/is null/not null/ in range / and so on. On the documentation page I read however: "Enter any SQL where clause that constrains the attributes of the layers selected in the layer list."  I have found the SQLCreator and SQLExecutor transformers, however these do not support ArcSDE format. I'm starting to think that the ArcSDE format simply does not suppport 'advanced' SQL querying in FME. Is this correct? So far I have found 1 alternative: a PythonCaller using these ArcSDESQLExecute functions from ArcPy. Could someone tell me if this is indeed the only workaround? Are there other workarounds? I've not found any further documentation on this topic, perhaps someone e

We have two FME server with same version.The .fmw are the same. We translate file from gml.zip to fgdb.zip.But the output of 2 zip files are difference in sizeThe files size in fgdb folder are the same.How can we set the FME server in order to get the zip file with same size 

Although the IMDF writer has a fixed schema, the option to copy attributes from another feature class is still available and will preform the action. However, when I try to copy attributes from any other dataset or feature type in the reader, they will appear as being added, but when running, they do not appear in the GeoJSON. Does there need to be some other process that will tell the IMDF writer to accept these attributes?

I am new to fme, I set up a processing chain to compare two shape files and I would like the output file which will be a renamed shape of the columns.for Example the file checked I have a column called depth_1 I would like the export ca to be depth_upstream.is this possible in fme ? 

Another post: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008is1jiSAA/why-is-the-download-url-not-being-returned-in-an-fme-server-app has already asked this question, but to date there was no definitive answer yet on that forum.  I included the "data download" during publish, so that is not the issue. It's just weird that the download link is not available in the workspace app, but is available when running the workspace from the workspace repository. Does anyone might know what the cause of it is?

I am building a simple regex expression which extracts the letters of the alphabet including the letters with accents. What I am having trouble with is using FME's regex editor vs the online one and the conflicts. The example below I have screenshots of regex101 online and FME regex editor and they both show different results for the expression:[a-zA-Z\\sčćđšž]+ I need help understanding why is this and what to do to get around this issue?Also, how do you apply regex flags?

Hi guys, I am fairly new in FME but have been working in a workflow and got stuck on something that might be simple solution for some of you. I need to be able of calculating the last calendar day of previous month from today's date. So today being 21/02/2023 my result should be 31/01/2023.  Can you please advise how I can do this ? I have been really struggling to do this and have attempted DateTime Calculator transformer.

Hello. I'm thinking about how to solve a filter that is defined on this data:- KASON DJL ?IBABA ?LUKID ?DIPIR ?KELUK ?KOVAR ?PAS PADCA NIFKU BANKO - applies here if the name starts without "?" (KASON) and somewhere in the string a name appears with a "?" (e.g. ?IBABA, ?LUKID.. ) and at the same time the end of the string is a name without "?", so remove "?" throughout the chain. The result is this KASON DJL IBABA LUKID DIPIR KELUK KOVAR PAS PADCA NIFKU BANKOThere will be more such definitions and combinations, does anyone have an idea how to solve it? A regular expression? Or a combination of some transformers?Thank you

Hi, How can I give 3d polygons the height of a base. The ground plane I created with the PointCloudSurfaceBuilder. The 3d Polygons have a z-axis with a value of 0.See the image, the polygons lie above the base and disappear below it.

Hello dear FME community members, I use the HTTPCaller with an output in HTML. From that output I want to get values from the HTML and get them exposed as attributes. Therefore I use the HTMLExtractor to extract the values of the CSS selector and return the output als a List Attribute.The result is that I see one feature with several listattributes. After that I want to explode the list with the ListExploder. The strange thing is that the ListExploder dies not see the List attribute. When I use a AttributeExposer and expose the list (list{}) then the ListExploder sees the list...a strange behavior!?!?  In several examples on the community the AttributeExposer is not mentioned or used to expose the list afther the HTMLExtractor, see an example: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008EcEOlSAN/how-can-i-isolate-html-table-values-td-based-on-attribute-name?t=1676911484807 I expected that the ListExploder sees the output list made in de HTMLExtractor. Is this a wrong assumption on

I have pull and transformed a series of table from a MS SQL Database. I am now trying to using FME to enter them into a specific sheet starting as a specified cell.  I feel like this should incredible simple, but I struggling to get it to do what I need.
