FME Form

I have a large XML (4GB+) I have trouwble to read. I need all elements, however: pand_bagpandid (2) only becomes a feature when it's the only element selected. If I check 1, I get alle elements execpt pand_bagpandid, when I select individual elements (3) I still get all elements except pand_bagpandid, if I only select pand_bagpandid I do get it, but I don't get any of the other elements. I am inexperienced with xml and have ben struggeling with this for quite a bit now. The xml fragements show the same behavior. Flattening, fragmenting or exposing attributes didn't work for me either

Hello FMEers,Here's your weekly dose of news from the world of FME. Scavenger Hunt ResultsThe Scavenger Hunt just finished and the results could not have been closer:  Team Nordend won from Team Zipster by just 65 points. And it wasn't just close in points, it was also close in time. Team Nordend made the winning submission just seconds from the game closing. I thought that was a deliberate tactic, but it appears that they really did get the winning solution at the last second:  So congratulations to them, Team Zipster, and Team Transformer - in fact, to anyone who participated. And thank you all for taking part. The whole idea was to learn a little about FME while having fun and to help build teamwork. It seems we succeeded:  If you want to have a go at solving the problems for yourself - or just check out the answers - then you can find most of them on the community: Fun with Flags Puzzles/Solutions (easy level)Where in the World Puzzles/Solutions (medium difficulty)Brain Teaser Puzz

Hi everyone,I’m struggling to change/update values of an IFC-file. Example:old PropertySetIfcPropertySet VolumePosition: 1Unit      : m3Quantity: 15  new PropertySetIfcPropertySet VolumePosition: 1Unit      : m3Quantity: 350 I used the GeometryPartExtractor to extract the IfcPropertySets from a IfcBuildingElementProxy geometry. Then I tried to adapt this https://community.safe.com/s/article/updating-ifc-example into my workspace. I used an AttributeCreator:ifc_property_set_name = VolumeQuantity = 350 After that I configured the GeometryPropertySetter and GeometryPropertyRemover. Unfortunately, the original PropertySet Volume will be deleted after writing. In the updated one, Position and Unit are missing. Is there a way how I can keep the traits of the original PropertySet and only change/update one specific value? thxNel 

My dataset contains date attributes per day that work was completed. My output needs to have the count of attributes that fall within any given week - example week 40 has 25 attributes - going back to the start of the year. I'm new to working with dates in FME so any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I encountered something peculiar last week. I had to compare two datasets about chemical substances measured in groundwater.To compare the datasets, I used the ChangeDetector. While doing so, for one substance an update/change was found for the value of a CASnumber. However, when I look at the originalValue and the revisedValue, I don't see any difference. Also, when I perform a compare using (a plugin of) Notepad++, it also detects a difference in the two CASnumbers. So there seems to be a difference, I just can't seem to spot the difference ;) Maybe some people here can help take a look and provide an explanation? Any feedback is appreciated. The CASnumbers are:CASnumber_1 = '‎483-63-6'CASnumber_2 = '483-63-6' See also the screenshots below for a dummy workspace and the comparison using (a plugin of) Notepad++; 

Hallo FME community,I want to know how to overwrite existing shapefile file and FGDB. With CSV it's clear but with shapefile and FGDB I can't find an option to overwrite.  

This is likely a simple question: I have a workspace set up to read, sample, clip, sort and combine Sentinel-2 data into a single raster with 9 bands. It works fine. The default band numbers generated by RasterBandCombiner are 1-9, but I'd like to name the bands based on the original Sentinel-9 band numbers as displayed in the original rasters. Is there a simple way to designate the raster band names using something like the fme_basename?

An error occurred while attempting to insert a row into the table 'UNSARE' using a cursor. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216063'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Spatial index grid is too small [HARBOUR.UNSARE]}

Hey guys, https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hBYOSA2/reconcile-and-post-issue Just following this here to reconcile our versioned ArcSDE in a workspace. I have the basic flow set up: Creator --> AttributeCreator --> Writer and i've set the parameters based on the thread above. My question on the writer is what geometry type and row selection information I need to fill in to get it to trigger? I didn't see this addressed in the two threads on this I found searching.Thanks

Hello,I am trying to read multiple excel files that unfortunately don't come very clean, meaning that the headers are starting on the third row while the first two rows are mainly blank. So I used the "Directory and File Pathnames" reader to pull all the excel files that I need and then connected it to the Feature Reader but the "Attributes to Expose" doesn't work as I don't have headers on the first row. I attached a snip of how the .xls files look. Basically I would need to somehow skip/delete the first two rows and read from there. Not sure.  Can anyone advise on this one? Many thanks!

Quick a simple question but one that has stumped me.I am trying to remove all of the data that has been pulled into FME from a shpfile on AGOL. The aim is to later replace this removed data with new data in same shpfile before reuploading this to AGOL. So I was wondering whether there was a tool that was able to be used just to remove the data while leaving the columns itself.

Hello,I'm very confused, I don't find how to remove the two last elements of a address list and concatenate the other words.I think it's quite easy but even with the ListElementCounter, I dont find the answer!Thank for your help.

I'm trying to extract data from the website https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-council-tax-band/search. After submitting a postcode (e.g. LS26 0AG) it returns a coded URL with results, which I want to extract. I've got the last part (extracting the results) working well but I can't figure out how to use HTTPCaller to submit a postcode and get the URL that is returned. The form name is "postcode" but when I set it up and run I get a "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request" error. Can anyone help please?

(i need to choose one dataset from many dataset in geodatabse)

I'm buffering a points shapefile, then using the resulting square polygons to clip a raster (vrt OS backdrop). The clipped rasters are then passed to a PDF PageFormatter to produce location maps for each point. My problem is the raster outputs once written to PDF seem to move - placed in relation to the location of the point. how can I force the rasters to be drawn in the same place on the page everytime?

Hello everyone, I have a shapefile with polygons (neighborhoods) and a shapefile with lines (waterways). Each polygon has a specific code attached to it. I want to provide each line with the code of the polygon it runs through. When the line runs through several polygons, it must get the code of the polygon through which the line runs the longest.  Does anyone know how I can best handle this? Regards Bas 

We have a large GeoJSON file, we need to "cut" it in multiple geojson files equal in "size", like each resulting file would be of 1200 meters X 1200 meters and named in a X,Y manner, like "1.5.geojson" and "2.7.GeoJSON". Is there'S a way to do this with FME ?

I am reading some data from a ESRI based web GIS and need to convert them to DWG. The data contains XYZ data, but the Z-values are missing when opening the DWG in CAD-software.  I got Z-values before writing: This is my workspace: AutoCAD: How can I make sure the file contains Z values?

Hello,I am struggling with what I am sure is a very simple thing but one that I cannot sort out. I am using Path to search for specific files in a directory which I then read with the Feature Reader. Thing is, I need part of the path_rootname as an attribute to use forward but I cannot seem to be able and extract it. I created "Year" as per the snips but I don't know how to use it forward. I only get the values from the Generic port but for "Year" I get <missing> for each row. I can see the "Year" attribute in the <Schema> port (and it shows up correctly) but I do not know how to pass it on to the next transformers. I tried connecting the <schema> port along with the <generic> one but it doesn't work. I also tried attribute exposer, attribute creator but no luck. Any ideas on why this isn't working? thank you!

I am generating a weekly Excel report and I wish to dynamically add a new column every week containing last week's data. Also, I need the column name to include today's date, for example - 'Outstanding work 04/10/22'. Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi everyone, I have a workspace where I am trying to test some element attributes to see if they match certain conditions/values. So kind of like: Location: Melbourne (fixed for all elements in file)Asset type: various (varies per element) I have around 80 of these attributes to test. The tests parameters are contained in an Excel file, i.e. I have a file that has the following columns: Attribute NameAttribute value (either has a value that I want to check against if Fixed)Attribute type (contains term 'fixed' or 'varies') Other than writing each individual rule into the Tester, is there a more efficient way to do this, particularly as the parameter spreadsheet may update and I want to avoid re-writting all the tests? Thanks in advance for your help! Amit

I have one table where id already there now what I want is when I push the new data it will generate an automatic id  for example the Table ID is 47 and when I push new data then that table insert from 48 in ID columns I use a counter to generate the ID from new data and then I use the static calculator from Table so it gives me a max number of 47 and when running that wS then it's not generate the ids
