FME Form

In a project with archive software an export of a BigTIFF from FME is noticed as a ZIF format. So is the export of a BigTIFF really a BigTIFF? The problem is that BigTIFF is an open format en ZIF is not an open format. Information about ZIF:ZIF File Format Specification (zoomify.com)  

Hello everyone,For example, I have the following pathname of the source datasetC:\\Temp\\FME Workbenches\\Kabelleidingen\\Klic\\Klicdata.dgn Then I would like to write the end result of the script to the followinglocation.C:\\Temp\\FME Workbenches\\Kabelleidingen\\Klic\\KlicData_analysisSo partly I want to write the data away to the root folder of the source dataset. Does anyone know how I can achieve that?The question is thus how I can get the value of the rootfolder that I subsequently can use in the writer.

I'm using the new Revit file reader in FME 2020.In the Revit file, I have a view, with linked file. When I read the view in FME, the linked file is not read.Any suggestions?

Hello Group, I'm experimenting with WorkspaceRunner. I've noticed that when I run a workspace via WorkspaceRunner the workspace itself completes far faster than if I ran the workspace directly. For example I have one workspace that processes around 20 heavy datasets and usually takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. But via WorkspaceRunner it takes just seconds. Or am I just misunderstanding WoprkspaceRunner. Is it actually the case that WorkspaceRunner itself completes quickly but the actual workspace/s it has fired off continues independently and takes just as long as if running directly?  Thanks,Stuart

Hi everyone, I am trying to extract some features from a WFS, but it is giving me an error. I'm reading from: https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/kadastralekaart/wfs/v4_0?service=WFS&version=2.0&request=GetCapabilities And this is the filter expression I use:  <Filter> <Or> <PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyName>AKRKadastraleGemeenteCodeWaarde</PropertyName> <Literal>WMV00</Literal> </PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyName>AKRKadastraleGemeenteCodeWaarde</PropertyName> <Literal>KMN01</Literal> </PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyName>AKRKadastraleGemeenteCodeWaarde</PropertyName> <Literal>ZDM01</Literal> </PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyName>AKRKadastraleGemeenteCodeWaarde</PropertyName> <Literal>KOO00</Literal> </PropertyIsEqualTo> <PropertyIsEqualT

I have an excel document with row 2 has merged cells for data category and row 3 has headers for attributes, row 4 onwards has data. how can I pull row as the data category? tried, columnstorow, and datapivot none seems to work as I expect

Hello everyone,I have some electronically signed xml files that I need to read with fme. These files have the extension .p7s and I did not find in the fme documentation how I could extract the .xml files (or any other format) from .p7s. Please, if anyone else has faced this situation before, if they have any suggestions. Thanks a lot 

A popup(FME has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program) occurs and then after clicking Close. I see "Error running translation." in translation log. No clues about what would have gone wrong. How to debug these kinds of issues. 

Hi, Using an AttributeKeeper (or AttributeRemover) inside a custom transformer, I'm finding that it removes the value of any parameters that have been set using that attribute, is that the expected behaviour? (FME 2022.1 MacOS). I would have expected a parameter set from an attribute value to hold the value of the attribute, but it seems to just be a reference to that attribute? It's a bit odd as the parameter will have a value up to the point the attribute is removed, and after removing it the parameter will be empty. It can be quite tricky to track the issue down in a branching workflow too. I've attached a sample workspace with a custom transformer to illustrate, but also a screen shot:Thanks,Andy

Hi, I have a line which I want to offset. It the centre of a rail line, which I made from a group of points spaced every 0.1m ish along the track. 1Hz trajectory values from a liDAR scanner for those of you playing at home.  At each point in the initial file there is a timestamp, XYZ coordinates, and roll/pitch/yaw values. The line I made only uses the XYZ values and would lose all the other information So, I have a centre line I can offset left and right to estimate the actual rails of the train line. I would like to include the roll values from the original points into this offset so the offset rails are more accurate. These roll/pitch/yaw values are not consistent over the site though so I cannot plug them into the offsetter transformer on the centre line. Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Is there a setting to suppress fme_rejection_code attribute creation with DateTimeConverter Transformer? Thank you, TylerFME Workbench 2022.1

Hi everyone, I am wondering how I can have a FeatureReader that dynamically adapts itself to any changing feature type name. The feature type name is linked to a private parameter, but since the output port created by the reader is ''named'', everytime I change the value of the private parameter, the output port keeps its original name and just goes empty. It there a way to make that ''named output port'' dynamically change its name to fit the value entered in the private parameter?  I am using a Geodatabase reader. See attached files for screenshots. Thank you!!

I need to transform an Oracle geodatabase using st_geometry to postgresql using postgis. Ultimately it will be moved to the cloud (RDS on AWS). Is FME the correct tool for this sort of conversion? Would it be fast (roughly 15GB database(

Greetings, Do you have a best practice for adding a 'status' attribute populated with the value of the join status such as 'joined', 'unjoined_left', 'unjoined_right'? I can imagine using a 'create attribute' transformer outside of each join transformer port, but that seems heavy on transformers (four total). Let me know if you have a more efficient solution.  Thank you, TylerWorkbench 2022.1

The writer seems to be trying to write '00000000' for these features rather than leaving it as null Is there a way to stop this behaviour? In a standard workbench I could set a default value but it feels like I shouldn't need to do that as postgres can handle null values in date fields and I don't know how I could change the values as it's a dynamic schema. Errors in log:Value of attribute 'createdate' could not be converted to type 'date'. Feature will be logged and skipped Attribute(string: UTF-8)      : `CREATEDATE' has value `00000000' ---Schema definition for field:attribute{8}.fme_data_type fme_dateattribute{8}.name CREATEDATEattribute{8}.native_data_type dateThe next line is missing for features that do not have a value:CREATEDATE 20031118 

I will like to automate my weekly ftp download. Mapinfo reader example url (as zip with multiple mapinfo files): ftp:// ftp.data.com/Geodata_202103159999 .zip  'Geodata_' is always there, '20210315' is the data that changes (every monday when data is downloaded) '9999.zip' is always there  In my logik the easiest would be ftp://ftp.data.com/Geodata_*.zip But it doesnt work. 'Geodata_' must be there can be multiple zip files on the server.  Any suggestions on this problem?

Hi folks, I have some CAD files (dwg, dxf) that have custom line type information (so line types, the engineer defined by himself/herself. I know that the DWG format has some attributes to be exposed that indicated a "DASHED" line etc.I can read out lets say the linetype "FENCELINE" or any custom made linetype in an exposed attribute (I guess it is called "Autocad_resolved_linetype").  problem: While the complex linetypes are defined in the "acad.lin" files, the custom linetypes a user can create are just visible in AutoCAD. Is there a way to display those custom/complex linetypes to get this automated somehow?problem: I know the "LinePatterner" helps creating the simple line types. But how can I created a complex line pattern? Something with circles or characters in between?Many thanks if somebody can share his/her knowledge 😄  Best,Ferid

I stumbled across the following challenge in FME:how to deal with NULL values if you want to perform a calculation for a new attribute. For example, I want to sum up values (could be any other kind of arithmetics).The expected result is fine as long as no NULL Value is involved. FME turns any calculation into a NULL result if any NULL is involved (see documentation).   The question that haunts me is, how to treat those NULL values as 0 in the calculation without changing the value to an actual 0 (as the NullAttributeMapper would). The result I am looking for is the following: If all values are NULL i want the result to be NULL, otherwise I want the NULL value to be treated as 0. Furthermore, I dont want the NULL values to be changed to 0, so I can distinguish between NULL and 0 in further calculations.

I would like to download all shakemap files. I can download one based on event ID but how do I download all of them. I have specified a folder for them to download to but I have tried a few combinations to get all of the files to download however no success. So the 2022p955929 could change and there are many zip files to http://shakinglayer.geonet.org.nz/api/v1/events/2022p955929/latest.zip I have tried this and the $ sign but they don't workhttp://shakinglayer.geonet.org.nz/api/v1/events/*/latest.zip

dear FME,I've been having problems with converting dgn(v8) file format to dgn(v7) file format, and after exploring the forums looking for a solution, I encountered a similar problem with reference number PR#72482 that no solution was posted to it, and I wanted to know if anything has changed regarding the referenced problem, or is it still a low priority for a fix? thanks in advance

So far in searching I've only found instances where the Oracle DB was dumped into file geodatabases via copy and paste. Then another copy and paste into the target DB. Sort of a part two question:Regardless of the method used for the migration is it possible to process deltas from Oracle to Postgres directly?

Hi, I have two lines. One original one, and a generalised version of it.  Is there a way that I can compare the two so I can see if there are any major spatial differences? I want to look for error locations that I need to fix before I smooth again. For example a deviation of over 0.1m between lines Any help would be great Thanks  

Hi all,  I am using FME desktop to publish XMLs out. I'm currently using the XML templater and need to edit one of the attributes that is coming through via a feature reader.  The sub template expression looks like this (redacted some lines due to data):<data> <dataid>{fme:get-attribute("dataid")}</dataid></data> There's several other attributes in the XML but I'm not interested in those.  Basically what I would like to do is trim the value in that attribute as the attribute has the current format ABCD*00000000001. I only require the numbers in the attribute and only want these written to the final XML output.  How do I go about making changes to the XML attributes. I have tried looking at XQueries but not got very far. Many thanks

I am having trouble opening fmear data files on my Samsung A32 cell phone following installation of the FME AR app from the Google Play Store.The Samsung A32 is running Android 12 and “Google Play Services for AR” (ARCore) version 1.35.223110433 dated (16/12/2022) is installed. The version of FME AR that has been installed is V1.4.0 (dated 22/08/2022)I have downloaded the tutorial “Creating FMEAR Datasets from 2D CAD Models" – CreatingFMEARFromCAD.zip and put the fmear files onto my cellphone’s SD card under the documents area.Below is a screen shot of the FMEAR app where it is being run using a white piece of paper for clarity as to what I’m seeing on screen is shown below. I’m not seeing anywhere on screen or in the app settings for where the app is to find the fmear files to open and I would be very grateful if someone could help me and point me in the right direction.
