FME Form

Okay so I have two features, a point feature (addresses) and a line feature (fiber). My end goal is to create a new line feature from the point to the nearest spot on the existing line. I have that process figured out but now I am wanting to fine tune it a bit which is where I am stuck. Currently, it will "snap" the new lines within feet of each other on the existing line and I would like to get it set so that if the new lines snap point is within a certain distance, they snap together at a single spot on the existing span. I have attached a screen capture of my current work flow for reference. I feel like I need another CoordinateExtractor + AnchoredSnapper but my attempts with those aren't returning what I am hoping to do. Any advice for a FME newbie would be greatly appreciated!Here is the current outcome, Black is my existing line and red is the output.

Hi I got this successfully working but seems things to have gone backward and I cannot figure out why my second http caller won't download the files. Hopefully someone can offer a quick solution.

Hello, when using the Bufferer transformer on points, a circular polygon is generated. The number of vertices constructing the circle is a function of parameters like the corner endcap type + interpolation angle. I'm good with this.  What I would like to know is if there is some logic to how the vertices of the buffer are generated. That is, how is the first point on the circle determined (since all others would follow from there based on the number of vertices / interpolation angle).  To provide context, we are capturing points that fall within the buffers and we have some edge cases that appear would be captured if only the circle were rotated or we increased the number of vertices. We want to see if there is a way other than increasing the number of vertices since this tends to slow down downstream transformers.  In the picture below, you will see that depending on the rotation of the points, the green dot may or may not be captured. In the case shown, it's captured by the

In a FMEserver APP: Is it possible to show the error messages from the log file in the results of a FME server APP? Pdd the user just gets "Failed" or "Completed" as feedback. How could this be done? // Wouldn't it be a nice and useful feature? Thank you.

Hi,I'm attempting to use the PlusCodeGeocoder Transformer,The intention is to read a CSV of Google Plus (Open Location) Codes and then write an Esri shapefile. For example, map this as points:id,google_plus_code3,"53PP+34 Taromeo QLD, Australia"106,"Q9XG+PF Widgee QLD, Australia"511,"HGM4+5X Amamoor Creek QLD, Australia" I've configured the visible parameters in the transformer.   The email value is the email I have registered with the Google Maps Platform for my API key.When run, the status code is 200, meaning the request was received, but the output is routed to rejected with the _pc_response_body stating:{  "status": "NO_API_KEY"}Where in the Transformer can I provide the API key?CheersMic   

DEvo calcolare la percentuale di ricadenza dell'area di un foglio di mappa catastale, all'interno di un'altra area. Ho utilizzato il trasformatore CLIPPER, conosco Area foglio di mappa, area ottenuta dal clip. Devo calcolare (AreaClip/areaFoglio)*100

I have created a workspace, where the source data (File Geodatabase) is fed in the workspace as a Required & Published User Parameter. The last value chosen gets saved as the default value.The intention is that each time the workbench is run, the user selects the appropriate File GDB.When I run the workbench, I get the prompt window to select the appropriate source file (see image 1 attached). However, when a colleague tries to run the same workbench, she doesn't get the prompt to select the source file.The workaround presently is for the colleague to open the workbench, then go into the "Manage User Parameter" space to enter manually a default value (see image 2 attached). This is however not practical, and we would love for all user to get the same simple experience.Can anyone advise?

HiWorkflow as of now: ArcGIS Online App, user clicks a polygon and a run button from the poup. The run button calls a workspace and sends the ID from the polygon using a webhook trigger. The scripts runs using the ID from the polygon. This works fine! But what I need is some sort of confirmation if they intended to run the script, this can't be done via html in the popup. So I was thinking about calling a workspace-app where the user manually have to run the script. So my question is, is it possible to call a workspace app in the same manner as the method Iam using now by sending a parameter to the workspace-app? If not, can anyone think of another solution?  

Could any body help me to start the process. The XML uses ADAC Schema version 5.0.1Thanks 

Run button grey's out Post successful execution . I'm running with Cache turned on. But SQL operation is not executed

I have FME Desktop installed on a machine with ArcGIS Server (licensed and site created). FME Desktop is failing to create reader (ArcSDE geodb) with the following error: ---------------------------Fetching Feature Types Error---------------------------<b>Failed to retrieve feature types.</b><p>Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. Please check your Esri ArcGIS Compatibility workspace parameter, found in Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Translation. This 64-bit version of FME requires ArcGIS Desktop along with 64-bit Background Geoprocessing; ArcGIS Pro; or ArcGIS Enterprise. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details---------------------------Close  --------------------------- Based on the dialog message, ArcGIS Enterprise is an option, and ArcGIS Server is already installed. What other settings are required for FME Workbench recognize and use ArcGIS Server to read SDE data?  Thanks,Vu    

Hi Guys, Right now I'm messing around with getting the corners sharp again after a positive buffer and back to negative. What I have is a polygon with small lines, I want to buffer it, so the small lines will be gone after I do again a buffering. So the first buffer is 5 meters, and the second one is -5. In the first buffer i get straight corners, but when I do the -5, I get rounded ones..... See picture :  What can I do so I get the straight lines back?

Hi Everyone I have a nice complex workspace with a lot of linked transformers. I would like to embed all of the linked transformers. This is the resource page that I have been looking at:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop/Workbench/custom_transformer_embedding_linking.htm For some reason, I can only "edit" linked transformers but not embed them. Second test was to "Embed All Transformers" under the Menu>TransformersThis action is now greyed out..   Any tips how to get embed my linked transformers?I have a suspicion I cant embed them because the transformers are somehow part of my default Paths?   Any help will be appreciated! FME Build: 227822022.2.2.0. CheersFred

I am using Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) Reader to read a gdb file where some attributes are mapped to domains. If gdb contains any value not matching with domain, then reader is reading it as null.  For example: gdb has one column Citizen with domain value - 'Yes', 'No'. If any row contains 'yes' then reader is reading it as NULL because its not matching exactly with defined domain value. I am using FME(R) 2020.2.5.0 (20210510 - Build 20827 - WIN64)

Hi everyone,I am stuck with the FeatureReader and I manage to read a table out of the database when I keep the WHERE clause empty, however when I fill in the WHERE clause based on the user choice of a choice list saved in a parameter "NAAM_BUURT" and I want to match it with the column also called "NAAMBUURT" I don't get an output. I just get schema data, while I also indicate that I want data features. Does anyone might know what I might be doing wrong? By th way I am using FME Desktop 2022.2.1.   

Hi everybody I'm using FME to merge several different spatial feature classes to create a new one. The user of this product is one of our partners in the office who doesn't have the possibility to view the data with a GIS-system. Therefore the output should in form of an excel. At the end of the workspace I use two writer: one for the excel and one for the GDB. When I compare the two results regarding the total area of the features, only the GDB one is correct. It is important that the area-values in the Excel are correct because they are used the analyze the other attribute using Pivot-tables and so on... Thanks in advance for you help :-) 

Hi,I have a point data set and I want to connect all points that have the same ID to each other. So if four points have the same id, each point should create a line to the other three points. The LineBuilder does not solve my problem because it simply creates an entire line and not just individual ones. I've read a few articles that the VertexCreator could help me, but I haven't found the solution yet.I would be very happy about your help. Greetings, Bastian

Hello, We are experimenting the use of FME as a sales reporting tool. Can someone provide an example of using the GooglePlacesConnector  or some other way of using Google Maps or other geocoding type transformers? Ultimately, my goal is to plug in a store name and have FME process a list of list of stores with address and lat/long across the USA. One example of what I would like to develop would be a list of all Chick-fil-a and Walmart stores in North America with their store number, address, and lat/long location. I can see using this for mayly store names and facility types in the future if it works.Thank you!Matt

Hell FME Community, i am trying to write the data into existing Oracle Spatial Point Cloud table. However, the translation fails with the following error: "ORACLE Writer: writing the point cloud failed because it has 3 extent dimensions, but the table 'AHN_BLCK' column 'BLK_EXTENT' contains data with 0 extent dimensions. The number of dimensions must match for all point clouds in a table."The "BLK_EXTENT" column has the SDO_GEOMETRY data type.Does anyone have any ideas? Best regards

Hi, I have two lines I would line to join together. However they do not intersect with each other so I can't use the line combiner. The lines are 3D and I want to preserve the dimensions so a neighbour finder might not work because that is 2D They are lines along the centre of a rail line but there is a small gap (see picture). I would like to join it so that it forms one line. The direction of the lines is the same. If anyone has any ideas how I could do this I would be very appreciative Thanks

Building a brand new Windows 2019 Server, with FME Server 2022.2.5. If we have workbenchs that write to SQL Server 2017 standard edition which ODBC Drive do we need (if any). My old server uses SQL Server Client, but my DBA says:SQL Server Client was announced as deprecated and isn't recommended to be used. ODBC driver is the one to be used.

Getting repeatedly the geometry object as delta on multiple runs

An example would be a spreadsheet with 2 columns such asNeighborhood activityA RepairB InstallA RepairB Remove Ideally, I could get output grouped by Neighborhood (A and B) and show the Activity values as column headers such as Neighborhood Activity.Total.Count Repair.count Install.count Remove.countA 2 (activities total) 2 (repairs) 0 (installs) 0 (removes)B 2(activities total) 0 (repairs) 1 (installs) 1 (removes) Should I expect to be able to do this with FME Statistics Calculator? If I need to use a parameter, I don't know how.. Any guidance would help.thanksJim
