FME Form

Hi all.I just ran into a curious problem. I tried to generate a buffer around my data, exporting it to GML. The problem is that QGIS won’t open the generated GML.I found that the GML data contained geometry errors (OGC Simple), and that these in part was made by the Bufferer transformer !??When I debug run a GeometryValidator->Bufferer->GeometryValidator setup, only running passed+repaired features into the Bufferer, the second GeometryValidator outputs failed geometries, i.e. output by the Bufferer..Is this a known problem ?CheersUsing 2025.2 beta

Hi all,I’m trying to read a shapefile that is stored inside a ZIP file which itself is embedded inside another ZIP. I want FME to read it directly from the download URLI tried with https://url/data.zip[shp.zip] but did’nt work. any idea if its possible?Thanks

 Hello, I use FME Forms 2024 and I have a very basic workbench just to test the emailer transformer and the configuration of our email system.The Emailer is the following version When I run I have this error and it fails: <class 'socket.gaierror'>: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed Any Idea ?Is it a probleme of mail smtp mail server accessibility. What is the configuration to adapt ?RegardsFred ​​   

Do you know the best way to convert a Raster.gdb (with 31 records and no Length or Area fields) to Vector .gdb (would have probably around 5 million records)  in FME ? The only unique field is OBJECTIDI used RasterToPolygonCoercer but it is not bringing any of the attributes from the Raster dataset to the vector dataset- everything is blank Also I want the new vector data to be smoothed if possible.

Hi!I’m using FME Workbench 2022.I’m trying to insert some data in a table in PostgreSQL. The table has a composite key, like this: (id, feed_id, env_id). The table, obviously, has the constraint: CONSTRAINT agency_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id, feed_id, env_id).In FME, I’m reading from a GTFS file, doing some transformations, and then, trying to write into the DB with a FeatureWriter using PostgreSQL as Format. I have all the configurations right. I checked it so many times, and before posting this question, I talked to some experienced mates.The problem I have is, in runtime, the FeatureWriter is not adding the attribute called “id” to the insert, so the database is sending the error “null value in column id violates not null constraint”. It happens with and without bulk mode.Now I’ll provide some images for visual context and information.Flux:Data in logger:FeatureWriter Parameters:FeatureWriter User Attributes:I added the Debug to the log to see what is happening in the FeatureWriter. This i

I'm trying to reproject a DWG file from AGD 1966 ISG 56 (EPSG:102077) to GDA2020 Zone 56 (EPSG:7856). I'm using the original DWG as a template to preserve layers, colours, line styles, etc.I've set up a workbench to handle the reprojection and all the data looks good and in the correct location when viewed at the final step in the inspector:However, when I open the output DWG, most of the data is correctly reprojected (matching what I see in the Inspector) but some features remain in the original coordinate system, thus showing up in Antarctica:Zoomed in at the portion in Antarctica:I've tried several troubleshooting steps:A simple read/write workbench Writing to DXF instead of DWG Using the RealDWG reader/writer Using default DWG reader settings (no customisation)I saw this question is similar to mine, but I didn’t have any luck writing to dxf instead:None of these things have fixed the issue. It seems to mostly affect text features, although some text is reprojected correctly, so I'm

I have been trying to find a good use for the ‘ai assist’ function. I don’t think it has ever succeeded in providing a useful answer. Have any of you had any luck?Or do you also copy paste to a real ai?In this example I needed a SQL Query edited, but my request was invalid for no reason. When I post in any other LLM I get a thorough response and description of this and that.My overall questions is probably, why is the FME implementation so poor? Is this spelling the early signs of the end for FME? 

Hi Everyone,I’m new to FME. Currently, I use FME to convert IFC4 LOD 300 to CityGML 2.0 LOD 4. It happened that a long railing can make the size of one CityGML feature exceed 1 GB, and it’s challenging to import it into 3DCityDB. I have to divide the railing into pieces so that each CityGML feature won’t exceed 200 MB. As shown, the railing has 1270 parts of MultiSurface. I’m thinking of splitting it into 1270 CityGML objects.First, I tried the “Deaggregator” transformer. But when it is written to CityGML with other feature types, the divided geometry cannot be viewed. The file size is small, so I believe the divided geometry wasn’t written into the CityGML file. However, if I only convert the divided geometry into the CityGML file. The file size is 1.4GB, and it can be viewed in FME Data Inspector. Here is the screen capture of my workbench.I have no idea what was wrong. I was thinking it could be due to the geometry structure being changed. Originally, it was Geometry->MultiSurfac

Anyone having this issue ? Even if everything is fine with the parameters in the transformer, I see the red arrows. When I zoom in / out everything is ok. Kind of annoying. I’m using 2025.1.3.  

I feel like everytime I try the PythonCaller I really struggle with the scripting and usually switch to a start up script to avoid it. Can anyone help me figure out why I don’t have any outputs when I run this in my PythonCaller.  import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport reclass FeatureProcessor:    def __init__(self):        pass    def input(self, feature):        """        Processes a feature to extract and set address components.        Args:            feature (fmeobjects.FMEFeature): The feature containing the address attribute.        """        # Retrieve the address attribute from the feature        address = feature.getAttribute('ADDRESS')        # If the address is missing, set all related attributes to empty strings        if not address:            for attr in ['Suite', 'AddressNumber', 'StreetName', 'StreetType', 'Direction', 'Street']:                feature.setAttribute(attr, '')            return        # Split the address into suite and core address parts        parts = [p.

Hello FME Community, Salesforce recently announced the retirement of their SOAP API login().  Are there plans to replace the current Salesforce readers and writers or update them to support Salesforce’s OAuth 2.0 Flow?  Currently the readers and writers use /services/Soap/u/51.0 which will be retired in the Summer 27 release.  I’ve used these a good bit in production workspaces, so need to start mapping out some transition plans.  For retrieving data, the SalesforceConnector will work, but it’s nice to be able to write and update data with a drop in transformer rather than setting up HTTP callers with Salesforce’s REST API. Any thoughts on the current plan for the Salesforce readers/writers or ideas on how to make this transition seamlessly? 

Would be great to be about to output Dynamic blocks to AutoCAD, things likeVisible states and Flip setting would be great, Distances for stretch, rotation and Alignment parameters might be a bit harder to achieve.

Hello,is there any version of FMEFORM 2025 that will allow me to select a coordinate system in the reader from outside the short list without automatically closing the entire application? I checked 2025.1.1 and 2025.1.3. or is there any tip to do this? I tried different scenarios and always when i am trying to open More coordinate systems the application closed by itself.Regards Artur Gustowski  

Hi,I created a parameter in my custom transformer of the following form:PARAMETER_NAME: LRF_FILEPARAMETER_TYPE: OPTIONAL FILE_OR_ATTR LRF(*.lrf)|*.lrfPARAMETER_PROMPT: Label Rule File:PARAMETER_DEFAULT: $(FME_MF_DIR)No matter what value I enter for the Parameter_Default, the file box on the transformer GUI always initially shows up empty in Form. Can someone suggest what I’m doing wrong?Thanks,Martin

Hello,I have a configuration table that my FME workspace reads to update a GIS database. This table includes ArcSDE database connection information. The workspace dynamically reads each database connection one at a time and passes it to the Feature Reader. Because it's dynamic, all features are routed through the generic port.Currently, I use an AttributeExposer to make feature attributes available for processing. However, this requires manual updates whenever database schemas change, which is problematic since the workspace runs on a schedule.Is there a way to automatically expose attributes at runtime, based on the schema of the next database being read, so I can eliminate the need for manually updating the AttributeExposer? Thank you, 

My current FME Server setup includes a CORE/2 Engines set up on one machine with another Engine-Only Host running remotely on another machine. Recently, I noticed jobs on the remote machine queuing up and never processing. Restarting the FME Server Engines Windows service temporarily fixed the problem. But only for a few hours. I don't see any errors in logs. But I've just switched to debug level logging for more info and hope to capture some. What I do notice is that in FME Server web console, under licensing & engines, the remote engine just won't show up. Once I restart the service, I see it under both the Engines tab and the Deployment Status tab, until it disappears again. Unlikely this is service account related (as other similar post/solutions suggest) since I can restart service and then it runs for a bit. I did make a change regarding domain controller/Active Directory recently but rolled that back and it didn't solve the issue. I am not aware of any other

Hi all, My colleague and I are preparing to do the Form and Flow certification exams. We use our work laptop to start Talview. The laptop only has FME Form 2024 (scripted). We would like to remote desktop onto our azure virtual machine to access Form 2025 for the exam.  This machine is also set up for publishing to Flow.Will Talview allow access to a remote machine for the exam? Thanks,Annette

I am trying to read in non-spatial data from Microsoft SQL Server. I need to read in three Tables and three derived Views. I have set up a connection using the Microsoft SQL Server Spatial (JDBC) format, and I have the connection to the main folder in the database working fine. In the Parameters > Constraints, I am only offered the option of ‘Tables’, and this does allow me to read in the three tables in the database perfectly. However I cannot find a way to access the Views which are in a different folder in SQL. Is Reader limited to just reading Tables? The FME documentation says “The Microsoft SQL Server Spatial (JDBC) reader and writer modules provide FME with access to spatial and attribute data held in Microsoft SQL Server database tables.” - with ‘tables'; being specifically mentioned, rather than all folders within a database.Is there another way of reading in Views? Or do I need to go back to the database creator and get him to do something else.

We recently migrated to FME 2025.1.2 / ArcGIS Pro 3.5.3Now I need to update some records in a point featureclass in SDE so I created a new workspace with a Creator, a FeatureReader, an AttributeCreator and a FeatureWriter.Reading the data from SDE works as expected. But when I try to write the data, I get the following errors:2025-10-22 13:12:21|   2.0|  0.0|ERROR |Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Type Definition 'd_y_n' was requested, but not defined.

Just point to the correct featureclass and go.I think I’m now pretty much out of options, because I upgraded my ArcGIS Pro.The only way to get it to work again is to remove ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and install a version which does work with an older version. I came from 2021.2.6 so I know that works, but I would prefer a more recent version.So my question is

Hi All,I’ve got what should be a simple issue but I’ve not been able to find and answer for my exact query.I’d like to take a feature class, containing photo attachments, stored in a file geodatabase and write it to another file geodatabase. Essentially copying the data from one file gdb to another.I’ve seen lots of posts about reading and writing as separate processes. In both instances the photo’s are imported and attached or extracted from the data.Is it possible to essentially copy a feature class with attachments between file geodatabases, without having to extract the photo attachments and then reattach them?Thanks for your time.

Hello, the workspace is close to “Creating CityGML Solitary Vegetation Object | Community” but without the issues. I would like to randomly rotate the instances along the Z axis. Dimensions are set as in the first matrix shown below. When I use the last row to rotate, as shown in the second matrix below, the rotation is ignored and dimensions change. I tried the rotators, and the 3D affiner after defining the matrix to no good results. It seems that CityGML only looks at the transformation matrix.  Any advise or workaround to force instance’s rotation is appreciated. I have a random rotation value stored in an attribute brought as an attribute of the location point. +++++ Matrix withOUT rotation +++++++++++@Value(width) 0.0 0.0 0.00.0 @Value(width2) 0.0 0.00.0 0.0 @Value(height) 0.00.0 0.0 0.0 1.0+++++ Matrix “WITH” rotation? +++++++++@Value(width) 0.0 0.0 0.00.0 @Value(width2) 0.0 0.00.0 0.0 @Value(height) 0.00.0 0.0 0.0 @Value(rotation)
