FME Form

When overlaying polygons I can get points, lines and polygons in a single result GeometryCollection. I'm sure this is a simple question (and have searched the knowledge base etc), but how do I use FME Workbench to detect such GeometryCollections and then extract just the polygons from the GeometryCollections?

I have a template dwg with a property set attached to lines and polylines. When I write a dwg and use that template is it then possible to fille the property set from FME?

I would like to import Autocad(.Dwg) file data into an Azure SQL table.In this table, I have the field GDB_GEOMATTR_DATA wich is populate by ESRI (Arcgis Pro) to store complex geometries. How can I populate such GDB_GEOMATTR_DATA field with FME? I tried to use the geometryExtractor transformer but it's not working.   @Takashi Iijima​, @jdh​, @Hans van der Maarel​ and others, any thoughts? Thanks, 

Hello , i am using GDB writer to write my output as GDB .but I have found most of times ,it create a folder that contain different files but when I view the output of writer again in FME ,I got no data to read .but for the same canvas ,when I use writer Esri shape File ,it save well and when I view the shape file output again in FME ,I found the data .it works great with shape file but GDB not at all . what is the solution to save my output as GDB ? Do there some restrictions should I look before writing my data into GDB?  FME Desktop professional 2021 

hello all,I am trying to get FME workbench to output into excel file this part of the log file.any suggestions very much appreciated.thank you!

I am trying to convert speciality maps for use in avionics software. I have converted the mbtiles to CADRG, and they import and display in the computer software, falconview properly. However I import them into the aircraft they display all black.  The only thing I can tell is the CADRG has been exported with. 217 color tables bet pallet, with the last table being 0,0,0 which I think is causing the display to be all black.  many ideas with resolving this issue? Thanks.

I am new to FME and am having trouble with a CADRG exporter. I need to limit the number of colors to 216 on the export however FME exports at 217 rendering the image all black on avionics software.

Hello community!I have 4 point clouds that I would like to aggregate. By aggregating the clouds with the "point cloud combiner" I lose the color information, why?

I'm encountering an issue reading NetCDF files I got from here:https://dap.ceda.ac.uk/badc/cmip6/data/CMIP6/CMIP/AS-RCEC/TaiESM1/historical/r1i1p1f1/day/pr/gn/latest/ When attempting to use a ListSearcher to search the "netcdf_coordinate_variable" list for an element with axis = T, I get no matches, even though its the first element.I also get no results using a ListExploder and a Tester to test the axis attribute.In fact the only attribute from the list that will match is "name". Looking at the list there are 2 elements, and the second element only has a "name" attribute and no others.I could see why this might trip up the ListSearcher, but I don't understand why the ListExploder + Tester method also fails to match? This is with FME 2022.1.2 on MacOS. I've attached a workspace (data linked above) and a screen shot showing the list has an element with an axis value of "T".

Hi, I have a workspace where run is disabled when "Prompt for user parameters" is on. When i disable this option run is active. This is the only workspace where this happens. Any ideas?  

Hi altruist, I have a very large datasets of daily records of soil moisture data which a FME workspace is getting failed to process. So, I have broken down by Financial Year by using testFilter and intend to produce average SM value by FY (as you can see in the image). Now I have to use a series of other transformers on each of the FY output that need to be repeated for each FY output port. Can anyone suggest which process would do it faster so that I can do like a batch process for each FY without manually changing the trigger etc? Looking for kind response.

Hello , i have attribute contains may values as streetname (park: mo (beside))street name (park: far away )How could I use test filter at first to find which value contains parentheses inside it ,I mean as (beside) which value has no parentheses inside it then the values that include parentheses after string as ( park: mo (beside))i would like to extract only the word beside at new attribute .all values include parentheses ( at the beginning but I am interested in the second parentheses ,how could I get the all values that contain two parentheses then extract the string inside the parentheses as beside word .thanks for help FME 2021

Hi,I've got a problem with the ListExploder. I am trying to divide a well-formed XML based on a XML-tag. This itself works fine, but the problem is, that all Object, wich get rejected lose there geometry information. I can see it in the DataInspector, the Min and Max Extent shows "nan". Leaving out the ListExploder, the geometry is visualized, so it seems clear, that the objects loose their information at the <Rejected>-Output-Port of the ListExploder.This problem appears since we installed FME Desktop 2022.2. I tried the same workflow with an older version (2020.1.3.0) and there it works as expected. I put on a screenshot to clarify the situation in FME 2022.Does anyone know about this problem? Any solution would be helpful. Thanks in advance and greetings,André

Hello , I am not sure how to use Regex expression First example :street name 34 (56)street name 56 ( 44 )street name 55(70) or street name 55( 70 )I would like to extract the number between parentheses and add - before the number so it should be street name 34 - 56 second example : street name 56 (text)street name 40 ( text )street name 10(text)street name 40( text )i would like to extract the text between parentheses and create it in new column  third example :street name 20 ( GdR 20 ) street name 22 (23-50)I would like to extract it and add - before the value in parentheses So it should be street name 20 - GdR 20thanks in advance FME 2021

Hello, I have a feature class from an geodatabase that contains larger and smaller features that overlap one another. I sort these features to have the larger features come before the smaller features. The attributes of the feature class are: Id and date The goal is to union the smaller and larger overlapping features, but only keep the attributes of the larger overlapping features. Since there is one feature class the overlapping areas share the same attribute names.  Therefore, I use the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer, with accumulation mode set to Use Attributes From One Feature.  However, I am unsure of the behavior of Use Attributes From One Feature accumulation mode. Which attributes are copied over to the resultant feature when the overlapping features are unioned? The document mentions the following for the Use Attributes From One Feature accumulation mode: "Takes all attributes from one representative feature" How does the AreaOnAreaOverlayer determine which of the

Hi,I want to find local low point in the point cloud. It is to bring out possible locations for water accumulation. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Hi FME team I started on using FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll and started reading CHM helpand I started to write some simple code, and I'm stuck on mapping FMEReader GEOMETRY column to another GEOMETRY column in FMEWriter FMEReader is from shapefile but the target database oracle table has 2 columns and I want to directly update to 2nd column, and seems cannot find the right "keyword" in CHM help, also the samples is not really helping with this problem C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeobjects\\dotnet\\apidoc\\FMEObjectsDotNet4.chmC:\\Program Files\\FME\\FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll Also in IFMEOWriter seems lacking IsOpen method to check whether the connection still open or notso we can do something about it. Maybe like manually commit ..    on another topic:1) is there a NUGET feed from you for this library like Telerik nuget feed https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/get-started/install-nuget https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json2) is there a link/resource/forum/video/training/repository

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm trying to move data from a editing GDB environment to a production GDB. Everything else works fine, except when it comes to importing the relationship class for my attachments. I get the error:  "Unable to create table/feature class/relationship class of type 'geodb_invalid'. Creation of this type is not currently supported by FME, and must be done through Esri tools" Does this mean I can't import the relationship in FME and should be doing it in ArcGIS Pro? Thank you.

In a file geodatabase (GDB) to GDB translation, I am writing dynamically to a blank (unpopulated) template GBD that has relationship classes. From a source GDB I am reading features both from feature classes that participate in relationships and from the relationship feature classes themselves. I get the usual geodb_feature_has_relationships and geodb_oid format attributes on the participant features, and I get the usual geodb_type (= geodb_relationship in this case), geodb_rel_origin_oid, and geodb_rel_destination_oid format attributes on the relationship features; however, to keep the workspace generically dynamic and reusable, I need to determine--during translation--the names of the origin and destination feature classes for the relationship classes being read. Of course, I know what those feature classes are before runtime, but the dynamic, i.e., non-prescient, workspace does not. Is runtime determination of the origin and destination feature class names of an existing relatio

I have this equation in Excel:=A2-($A$2-$G$2)*B4/SUM($B$4:$F$4)this A2 and B4 has to change every row. so that the value I just got from the current row calculation needs to be used in the next step.9.83,8.82,7.56,6.41,5.41,5minus0,1.01,1.26,1.14,0.99,0.4it starts with 9.83-0, then 9.83-1.01, then the result which is 8.81-1.26 and so on.how can I write this equation? or how can I get the result of previous row calculation in the current row?

Hi community, A client I am working for recently upgraded their FME Desktop/Server installation from version 2018.1 (20180717 - Build 18520) to 2021.1 (20210730 - Build 21619). I upgraded the workspaces and I am currently in the process of testing. I noticed that a workspace ("gdb2gml.fmw", attached to this thread) behaves differently in FME Desktop 2021.1. The purpose of this workspace is to read a File Geodatabase, map the attributes to a specific format and write to a GML. The output file (GML) is validated against an XSD file (XSD-file and input GDB also attached to this thread).  The validation in the GML writer should fail. The File Geodatabase contains an illegal feature (a multipart polygon) which is not allowed as a geometry for this feature class. In the GML writer, the setting 'validate output file' is set to Yes. In FME Desktop 2018, this multipart feature is detected by the validation and the workspace fails. This is the expected behaviour. In FME Deskt

Hi, I am working on two excel-files that I wanted to merge with address. Unfortunately I am struggling to merge with the address since they are formatted differently for each excel file. For example: Alex Olssons Road 50 - Alex Olssons road 50 There are more strange cases where there are lower and upper case letters between each spaces. I wanted change the attribute for addresses in both files so that all the letters are in uppercase and all spaces are removed to make it easier to merge. For example: ALEXOLSSONSROAD50 Any ideas what transformer I should use?      

I need to revisit this answer, that I find to be a limited work-around, not a proper solution.The offending and unsupported type "mediumint" is not from the MS/SQL database, where data are sourced, so it has to be something that FME itself generates on the fly. Aka a bug.The database table has a field named ID, which is an "int" (32 bit), and it uses an identity value.This is how the schema feature sees the field:I really cannot understand, why FME cannot transfer this to a table in a Geopackage. The very same schema and data feature are used to create a GeoJSON with any problems.Please advise.Using 2022.1
