FME Form

Hi I need to sort in ascending order and only keep the first 4 rows of the result. So I used a sorter but I can not find how to limit the number of rows in output. Thank you

In the Manage Automations page I can select and automation and then select Actions, but the Trigger Automation item is greyed out. Do I have to trigger each schedule in the automation manually?

I have a writer that creates a CSV file to a folder on my computer. How do I write this CSV file to AGOL (ArcGIS Online account)? I already understand how to write data to an AGOL Feature Service. I need to create a CSV file to my AGOL account. I plan to update this CSV file every night (via the Task Scheduler) and share it with others. I'm using FME Desktop (not FME Server). Thanks.

Hi, I have a contour dataset which has been clipped incorrectly and has produced errors in the resulting polylines. There are numerous breaks in it, for example, the 0.8m contour line (see attached image) and I would like to join these together. A straight line is fine. I have tried Snapper and LineCombiner with no success. Any suggestions would be great!Thanks.

I have workspace that currently has one choice dropdown input parameter that lists regional utility companies. The parameter dictates where the input data is read from and where the output data is written. On FME Server, I have setup separate Users for each region. The client has requested that I limit access of each regional User to it's own region. So, say we have Region1 and Region2. Region1 shouldn't be able to run the workspace by selecting Region2, and vice versa. My thought is, if the FME Server User accessing the workspace is available at run time, I could essentially do away with the drop down, and let that dictate which data is processed. Is this possible? If not, what would be my best course of action to accomplish that separation. My second thought was create separate repositories for each region, but then I would need to make copies of the workspace only allowing a single choice in the dropdown. This doesn't seem ver

Hi!I have a problem with a Json Templater and an Aggregator. I would like to have this result :In my data, I have two items (Json_fragmenter_19) and I need to aggregate them to match with the result I want.I do this :I tried different code in the JsonTemplater but it doesn't work.Can you help me?Thanks Laura

Hi all,Just a quick question:What I try to do today is to write a hyperlink from my workspace to a word document. I am compiling a Word document with a bunch of MSWordStylers and one of the paragraphs contains a hyperlink... I have been looking around, and it looks like it is currently not possible to insert a hyperlink to a word document using the MSWordStyler. Is that still true, or did I miss something? And: would there be an alternative route to accomplish this? Any insights will be highly appreciated. Cheers, Egge-Jan

Dear FMEI want to connect a series of points that follow a certain road alignment.I have a set of point data that are snapped to a road alignment. The point data were registered by different equipment several times in a year. Unfortunately, the point data do not distinguish between different equipment. However, there are two registered dates for each point data that follow the from-to principle. I used these dates to find the sequence and then use them to connect the related points to each other. Even though I was able to create convex from the related points, the built convex were linearly connected.What I would like to attain is to find a method that can link the points based on the road alignment. I gave the point-to-line-overlay transformer a try, but it was not successful! I think the problem was basically because of not having attributes that could be used for grouping!If that was the case, does anyone know

I have used SchemaMapper successfully with CAD to GIS conversions but apparently CAD to CAD is different. The output DWG has all the layers in the DestinationLayer column of the crosswalk.xls as well as the SourceLayer layers. No redefinition takes place.

I'm a bit surprised I haven't found this answered already - maybe I'm just not seeing it. When using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service writer - is it possible to define the layer ids, or layer order that will be used when creating a new feature service? I want to help ensure that the new layer ids match previous ids. Since the writer can't add new layers to an existing service, I need to delete the existing service first. Do I need to ensure the different layers are passed to the writer in the preferred order? Thanks!

Is it possible to auto assign different point fonts based on table data. ie. assign differnt points to pit, pole, electrical, water ect. I have a .tab to edit. I have some blocks from autocad, it is possible to use these? Would

Hi, is FME Server version 2022.1.2 compatible with City Works version 15.5.3? Thanks

Hell everyone, I apoligize if this has been answered already but I haven't had any luck trying to find a solution. Basically I have a URL in HTTPCaller that I need to append a value at the end of so that I can run multiple GETs. The values that I need to append are stored in an AttributeManager column. I understand that I may need to create some type of looping function that will go through the list of attributes, append the first value to the end of the URL in HTTPCaller, run the GET request, save the results, get the next value in AttributeManager, append to the end of the URL, run the request, etc.. but not sure how this could be configured in FME. Ultimately we will need to place the results of all the GET requests in one data set.

In the documentation I see that Appearances are planned for a future release. Just wondering if this is already on a timeline somewhere: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/cityjson/quick_facts_cityjson.htm @deanatsafe​ - perhaps you're the one to ask?

How can I connect MapInfo Pro 2021.1 with ArcSDE 10.8.2? It's the Universal Translator that isn't working.

I`m trying to make a strange raster, due to a specific software demanding exactly that format.  It seems to be a GeoTIFF with 1 rasterband (UINT8) that has palettes with 3 values (RGB). See below for more information. I have managed to create the 1 channel TIF with the correct value, however I struggle to add the palette, and add the correct value for each palette to each pixel. Since FME can read the file correctly, I assume it can also create such a file, however I am stuck after examining all the RasterPalette* Transformers.  Any raster-wizards out there? 

Migrating from FME 2018 - FME(R) 2018.1.0.0 (20180717 - Build 18520 - WIN64)Migrating toFME(R) 2021.1.1.0 (20210730 - Build 21619 - WIN64) We have a web portal that triggers FME workspaces and gets a response. The HTTP Caller is used to POST a request to the portal (JSON message). It works like a charm in FME 2018. Migrating the same workspace to FME 2021, the web portal can trigger the workspace but it gets no response.  We have checked the proxies etc. They all seem to be in order. Looking at the settings of the transformer, FME 2021 has two additional settings.HTTP VersionRedirect Authentication Looking at the help of 2018 - http://docs.safe

Hi there I have ran into this error on a script that i usually wasnt encountering this error on. and I cant quite figure out what it means.  Just as some extra context I am writing data which is stored on my local device, projecting it correctly before clipping it and uploading to an already exisiting data set by using the "Insert" and "truncate" function. I am not sure what is causing is the issue, whether it is on the FME side or AGOL side but I am not encountering this issue for other data sets. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated -Ed

Hi All,  I have been asked to create a digital sign in/out form for when contractors visit our workplace to carry out contracted works.  Currently when a contractor arrives we ask them to fill in a paper based book, just capturing name, phone number, time in and internal contact person. Then when the job is complete (or at the end of each day) they must sign out with a simple signature and time out. This allows us to keep track of who might still be in the building before we lock up at the end of each day. I can create a simple workspace that caters for capturing this information, but I am more asking for advice around best practice for setting it up in workspace and then in the FME Server.  For example, should I create one form, with a question for 'Sign in/out', or should I create two forms, for the two tasks? I might be over complicating it, but basically this is the request I have received: 

Hello FME Friends, Automation Apps Sneak PeekFME 2022.2 is coming, and with it is an important piece of new functionality in FME Server: Server Automation Apps. So me and my colleague Kezia Yu are hosting a Sneak Peek presentation next week, to unveil this new tool and to show you all how it works and why it can enhance your FME workflows.  LinkedIn doesn't let me set up the streaming link until an hour before, so just reply yes to the above invite to keep informed. Q) How are Automation Apps diffe

Hi, One FME Workbench user in my organization recently had FME Workbench 2022.2.0 (build 22765) installed on his Windows 10 (Enterprise 21H2) machine and it was working perfectly up until a few days ago. He even went on a Basic FME introduction course without any problems. But suddenly, FME Workbench won't even start up. According to Event Viewer in Windows 10, fmeworkbench.exe crashes because of an unknown error in Qt6Gui_fme.dll:  However, FME Inspector runs just fine. To our knowledge, there has been no updates or changes to Windows 10 on his machine. We also tried deleting %appdata%\\Roaming\\Safe Software\\FME\\ but it made no difference to FME Workbench. Does anyone have any other ideas we could try out?

Hello Sir / Madam, So I have a CityGML (.gml) 3D model, it has three layers - Bridge, BridgeConstructionElement and BridgeInstallation. I am just wondering is there any way that I can merge all layers into one single 3D model? As I will have thousands of models that might be divided into different layers, I need to find a way to group all the layers for each model. Then, I can analysis the data later. I tried "Deaggregator" and "MeshMerger" but it seems like it is not working.I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a hand. I have attached a sample data below. Thank you very much.
