FME Form

I'm working with a date field that needs to be converted from a text string giving the format as described in my title (e.g. October 1, 2022). I've found a lot of documentation on the DateTimeConverter, however none of the formats on the documentation seem to match up with my date format. This seems like a simple solution that I'm missing, any help is appreciated!

what I trying to do is write the values in the Database and then read from there as a readerbut the problem is when I run my workspace its runs same timewhat I m want is 1st load the data and then reader-run   

We get the error when translationfme Unexpected Input Remover Nuker (TeeFactory): Cloned 0 input feature(s) into 0 output feature(s)What's that means

If so, what parameter settings would accomplish something like the attached example?

Hi, I have a workspace to apply for a cutting permit that takes 3 cutblocks and aggregates them into one feature based on cutting permit and then output that directly to the HarvestApplicationWithCP output. This looks ok when the writer is redirected to the inspector, but the XML is incomplete, it only has one of the cutblocks in the HarvestApplicationWithCP portion of the XML.

I need to insert current date (month_year) in column name all time that run my workspace Look Bellow: Thank´s 

I would like to modifiy the last vertex of each line feature, if the lines intersect, to copy the depth so that also the connection is made in Z-coordinates. Based on an attribute field there should be determined if the Z-value should be copied or overwritten of it's connecting neighbour. 

I'm working on a script that I downloaded from the server and want to run this on the desktop version.It requires a couple parameter changes to make that working, but it's quite a hassle to do that properly whenever switching between desktop and server.For instances changing the featureReader file path from $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/$(FME_MF_NAME)/foo.json to ~/documents/FME/foo.jsonI noticed that I can set FME server parameters on the desktop, which are currently all empty.Can I for example set $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP) = ~/documents and $(FME_MF_NAME) = FME so it works on the desktop and server without the need to change these parameters whenever I switch between server and desktop?

Hi. Today's second question, I'm glad that this forum exists :) I'm sending the "example" file in the attachment. I would need advice on a transformer where I could implement a sequence of individual segments. I have an idea, but I don't know how to implement it in WS. StartPoint and EndPOint is one segment. I need to determine the correct order of the segments. To get the correct order, I need to determine the first and last point - the value of the first point must meet the condition of occurrence in "startpoint" and at the same time it must occur only once ( A1 ). If I manage to determine the first segment, I need to further apply that the endpoint value of the first segment ( A2 ) is the starting value ( startpoint ) of the following segment. This way the correct sequence will be connected. Some ideas? 

Hello,I have a workbench that checks several files for some data mergers. Problem is, this one source I have (30+ excel files with thousand of rows each) is useful only when there is a certain value in one of the columns. I was wondering if there is a way to open these files only if a condition is met beforehand (like a user parameter prompt). I wouldn't want to read all files every time knowing that if the condition is not met, they won't bring any value to the end result. For example, If I chose at the start of the workbench "Toronto" - it should trigger this reader; if I chose some other city, it shouldn't. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, This is probably a stupid question but I dont get why the following expression is in error in the PointCloudExpressionEvaluator with FME 2020 @round((@Component(x)*2))/2ERROR |PointCloudExpressionEvaluator (PointCloudEvaluationFactory): Failed to parse the EXPRESSION_LIST clause. The provided value was '@round((@Component(x)*2))/2;@round((@Component(y)*2))/2'. Please ensure that your syntax is correct Curiously, the @round function is not available in the Math functions list in the transformer: 

Hello Forum. I'm trying to help a colleague to setup an Oauth2 service (Tools->WebConnections->+->Oauth2Service) but we're struggling. We have the parameters from the data-owner, and the "Preview" window in the setup dialog presents an acceptable URL (see attached image), but when the connection is made to the server, the URL is malformed. The problem is that the URL received on the server is terminated (prior to the parameters) with ampersand thus: /realms/fdir-dev/protocol/openid-connect/auth&redirect_uri=https://localhost/&client_id=yggdrasil-sa  instead of question-mark as reported in the setup-dialog Preview (see image) The question-mark is required by the server and html convention. Has anyone had success with the OAuth2 server connector, who might be able to guide us, or is this simply a bug?

Is there some special reader for Bentley AXSYS drawings format that would parse nested objects in XML and joined with the drawing?

Hi I have a lot of tif tiles that together form an orthophoto of a municipality. There has been a problem and the colors of the different tiles don't match that wel. Is there a way to color match the different tiles so that they match better? Here you see what it looks like now: 

Hi, I have to zip the output from the featurewriter.The standard writer has the option to zip the output. Is this also possible with transformer "FeatureWriter"? I have not found anything about it. I need FeatureWriter because my process will go on after writing! 

Hello, When I inspect/read a OBJ file, the associated MTL file is not used (aka my objects are not textured). My OBJ and MTL files are both generated by Blender and their format seems correct. Thanks.

I have a GDB containing point, line, and polygon feature classes. I would like to setup an attribute manager or schema mapper that allows me to change a field name to whatever I please. I can place an attribute mapper on every single feature class from the reader but that will take forever. How do I read in all the feature classes, see all the current field names, be able to change said field names, keep all the attribution in those fields, and write the same data out but with new field names? Some screen shots are below of my GDB. Note, this is something I would like to be able to do to many GDBs down the road that should have identical field names.

I had a WFS reader with a search envelope that is downloading point features. The search envelope used to work in a previous version of Desktop.I'm now getting the error:Unknown coordinate system '' specified.  Nothing else changed. The data is read in as EPSG:4326 and the search envelope is the same. Any ideas?  

I've been trying to find explanations for the properties saved under "Attribute Name Configuration" for an "Attribute Name" parameter type and haven't been able to locate anything! This is specifically regarding how "Format Attributes," "User Attributes," and (especially) "Filter Attributes By Port" are handled, given that they have not worked the way I expected based on name alone. Is there additional documentation on these parameter settings anywhere, or should I try to communicate with technical support directly for info? Thanks!

We have a number of workspaces developed in older versions of FME that use various database connection parameters (e.g. database name, username, password etc). In some of these workspaces we do post processing (e.g. building indexes), usually via shutdown python scripts or pythoncallers and access these parameters in python using FME macro values.  I've tried running one of these workspaces today in FME 2021 (2021.0.2 - build 21321) and the python scripts no longer seem to be able to access the "password" parameters and python reports a KeyError.  If I try to test by creating a new pythoncaller in the workspace, I cannot see the "password" parameters in the list of user parameters, so I assume this may be a deliberate change?  Any ideas if this is a bug or a deliberate change by Safe in FME 2021? I can't find any info on that change, so if it's deliberate, it would have been nice to know about this so we could update our workspaces.  John

Hello,  for calculations on line segments I divide a line into its individual segments between two vertices (2-point line) using the transformer "Chopper". For a further processing step I need the number of the segment within the total line. This means that if my line consists of 11 vertices, I have 10 line segments. The first line segment should start with the element ID 0. I have tried to do this with a counter, but without success. For this reason, I would like to ask how I can solve this elegantly. Thanks a lot

hello , i have lines from data A and Lines from data B I would like to find the closet lines or parallel lines for Lines A then get the attributes from B to A .i have used Neighbor finder but i get not always the correct result .As example at my data , there are also intersection or curves between lines a and lines b , so I got wrong result . I have read that there is Fuzzy parallel line ,but I am not sure if this transformer what I want and how this transformer work .thanks in advance .FME 2021 

WelcomeI hope you can help me find a solution to this problemI really need help to solve this problemIn the attached form, I have successfully exported the data from the Revit program to the ifc formatThe data has a geographical reference specified by coordinates on a map in the RiftI want to transfer this data to citygml format while keeping the site coordinatesI tried to create a storyboard on fmedesktop as in the attached file, but I need something to be able to transfer the location information. What is this thing?

Hi, I'm working with building polygons. And I'd like to generalize them based on the specific ordinance. Unfortunately, Generalizer didn't give satisfactory results, so I decided to use the possibility of ArcMap, so I applied the arcpy script in PythonCaller - with Simplify Building algorithm. Much of the dataset has been generalized quite correctly. But some of the polygons have fragments whose width is narrower than the minimum value specified in the regulation. I mean buildings with complex geometry (see pic. below). And my question is - do you know any idea, how to extend only these narrow fragments using FME or arcpy? The solution should be universal, because, I need to transform a lot of buildings. I tried to use Generalizer or convert the polygon into lines, calculate length and extend this line, but without any satisfactory results.  I am working on FME Desktop 2021.2.5 and ArcMap 10.6 - without any chance to upgrade FME Desktop or ArcMap.

I have a 3d building in fbx format, while converting to vrml. The building is completely upside down.I am not able to crack the idea?
