FME Form

I'm using a DatabaseJoiner to look up rows in an Excel file. This Excel file has about 6,000 rows and about 20 columns. I have an integer FME attribute that finds a matching field in a row in Excel. About 5 'Fields to Add' are concatenated into a new FME attribute. This works great!  I have 4 more FME attributes that contain 1 to 5 comma separated lookup values. One sample value looks like this: 13045,52136,38010. I need to look up a row in the Excel file (for each of the 3 values in this example), then cancatentate the 'Fields to Add' then cancatentate the three final strings into one big string. Do I have to expand "13045,52136,38010" into three new attributes then use each of them in the DatabaseJoiner and create a string attribute for each of them?  Since I have 4 FME attributes that contain 1 to 5 comma separated lookup values, this means that I'll need to add 20 (4*5) integer attributes for lookup and 20 (4*5) string attributes for output? That i

Hi everyone, I want to search for all Feature Classes in our SDE and list out only the ones that have a field name 'SDE_UPDATE' (date field) with a criteria that queries the ones that have been updated in past 10 days. Any example workbench to share?

I am trying to filter features in a large Revit model by Category, Family, and then Family Type. Each Category has many Families which have many Family types. Using the Attribute Filter import feature on the first level (Category) is fine, but if you want to chain subsequent filters (Family and Family Type), the import brings in ALL attributes for the entire file, not just what is coming out of the respective Category filter outputs. Is there a workaround for this? It would be so helpful to have a “local” setting where only feature attributes coming in to the secondary filter were selected.  Just to be clear, the import feature first gives me a choice to select from a list of feature types, but it still brings in more attributes than what actually is coming into the transformer. The resulting list turns the Attribute Filter into a massive object in the workspace.

Howdy Y'all, I am trying to extract wells data from Enverus (www.enverus.com) but their API has a limit of 100000 records. Can anyone share examples for pagination as well as how to keep the Token active all the time (instead of manually updating it)

We have done:Register an app and make sure the FME has permission to use the app.Make sure the user is allowed to access the data. 

The file gdb is a handy conversion template that avoids a lot of painful domain reformatting.

Hey, I love FME so no product bashing here.... but is there a bug in FME Server 2020.2? I have a schedule that's set to "Occur Only Once" and that I enable to run on a certain/time when I need it. In the past, this has worked great. I'd move up the date to whatever needed, enable it and hit "Okay". Since upgrading to 2020.2 last year, I've noticed that when I do this, the new date I select in the calendar will not take...... and when clicking 'Okay" in haste or out of habit, it will save schedule with the old date from the past and - now enabled - start running immediately. Bug, user error?Plan to upgrade to 2022 when it comes out. So if I don't get any nibbles here, I'll see if that resolves it.

It is to identify the sum of which group. Otherwise, the result is a list of values (for sum) but not possible to identified which value is for each group of features.

Is it possible to generate a horizontal bar chart with the HTMLReportGenerator?

During one of my projects I noticed in my counts that I am missing records.  As you can see 16k entries enter the requester eand only 13k exit via either port. This is connected to missing keys entering into the requestor I know that I can solve this using a nullattributemapper to change missing into null, or by setting reject null and missing keys to 'Yes' (non-default setting). However the fact that this is largely invisible has me worried.  I have also concluded that this behaviour is not consistent. The below workspace has a test setup testing for the behaviour with simple input data. All 4 cases behave as expected. Unless I missed something, I believe this is a bug. If you can confirm, deny or reproduce, it would be highly appreciated :).  

Hi, I'm curious if anyone has found an efficient way to calculate the X nearest neighbors in a pointcloud or a set of 3D points from a single 3D point.  My current method is mathematically calculating the distance from point 1 to every point in my pointcloud with the following formula and then sorting by distance. d (P1, P2)= ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2)^1/2   It works but it's not efficient at all. I'm curious if anybody has a more efficient idea. Thanks,Mark   

Hello to all, I'm stuck since yesterday on a problem I can't solve.I want to transfer the attributes of a 2D representation of the roofs of the buildings of a city to their 3D version.I have my 2D data in .gpkg and my 3D buildings in .dwg.According to my geometryfilter, the roofs are surfaces and the 2D data are areas.Everything seems to work on the first objects, my attribute replicates correctly on the concerned roofs, but I still get an error, when processing the 1145th object in my clipper. The error is "Attempted to access the value of an uninitialized optional object".I guess some of the geometries may have a problem, but even with GeometryValidators to filter my 2 data sources, nothing changes.What method would you recommend to fix this problem? Are there better ways than GeometryValidator for this kind of problem? Thank you in advance for your answers.

I am new to Json queries. I am trying to extract the details from a arcgis feature service as a spreadsheet for the ESRI living atlas requirements. I have gotten really close but I want my features and tables to be in their own column (second screenshot is what I want). What I am getting is the feature layer AFTER its attributes, and in the same column. I am hoping the resulting table can go into the corresponding feature layers metadata page, as they are manually updated at the moment. There is probably a way to do this using substring extractor, but I was hoping I could do it using json as I have to replicate this for 10 more data products.  

Hello FME friends, Server Apps and AutomationsFME 2022.2 is coming out shortly (my estimate is about 4-5 weeks), and one of the new features is called "Automation Apps":  Automations can be started on a set schedule or by a certain event, but can also be started by a manual trigger. An Automation App is how you can set off that trigger through an app or webpage. As I understand it, it's like a workspace app, but the end user supplies information through keys, instead of parameters:  We're already working on articles and videos to go with the launch. But if you've already tried this functionality in the beta version, we'd love to hear your opinion. In fact, if you use apps of any form in a production project, it would be great if you left a comment below. We'd like to get some feedback on the value that Server apps provide to your workplace.  Best Practice Guide SurveyI recently suggested to a few users that we work together to create "A Community Guid

Occasionally the Folder (existing) parameter will change a backslash in the folder path to a forward slash when the feature is is shown in the table. This creates a major problem for reading, writing and comparing to this folder. Is there anyway to make sure this doesnt happen?

I am looking for suggestions for a user friendly database editing tool. A client of ours has a deliverable in Excel format. We feed data to it via FME from a SQL Server/SDE database. However the client does edits in the excel file and the edits never make it back to the database. I know, we can load the edited data back to the DB via FME again, but preferably, the users will edit the data directly in the database. The client is used to the editing functions in Excel so we need to offer them something very similar/easy to use. The data to be edited is a non-spatial table but related to a parent spatial object.The tool must have:Allow for bulk editing (replace drag functions in excel). Must be user friendly/no code. We have tried MS Access but it is too complex. From the user perspective they just need to:access and filter a subset of the data eyeball the values and add comments in one column.Good to have:Track editor idRead and write by FME We are flexible on the database so if there is

Dear readers, A strange thing occurs today. In an an AttributeManager, I changed the value of an output attribute, from a fixed string to using a user parameter, partly.The original string was: mkdir "Y:\\Basis\\Kunstwerken\\@Value(KWK)\\@Value(KW_CODE)" I substituted the part in bold with a user parameter (in bold, too): mkdir "$(Kunstwerkmappen)\\@Value(KWK)\\@Value(KW_CODE)" Now, here's the funny thing. If I provide the user parameter with the original string, the result is (one record as an example):copy "I:\\BEHEER\\Temp\\Ferdinand\\LM_fotos\\Pictures_LM249DrempelsZestienhoven\\061720122651.jpg" "Y:\\Basis\\Kunstwerken\\Gemalen\\KGM-231\\061720122651.jpg" All seems fine. But the idea is to be able to change the value of the user parameter. So I tried filling in "I:\\BEHEER\\Temp\\Ferdinand\\LM_fotos\\Kunstwerken" (without the quotes)I get this result: copy "I:\\BEHEER\\Temp\\Ferdinand\\LM_fotos\\Pictures_LM249DrempelsZest

for examole,I have some 3d point,how I can get near point for one point,thanks

Why isn't this easier in FME? I've tried lots of examples on the Hub, but can't get any of them to work. The Attribute Pivoter is difficult to use and never gives me the results I need. I can perform this very easily in SQL. I'm trying to turn my rows Vxx into columns with the value of Litres, grouped by all the other rows. Any idea how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance! 

Hello, Following this example as a starting point: https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-read-all-feature-classes-from-multiple-esri I am able to convert all of the feature classes in a file GeoDatabase to shapefiles. In production, the workflow would actually import the feature classes into an Enterprise GeoDatabase, while reprojecting the geometry as well. After making the modification to the above example so that the output is directed to our EGDB and then running the workspace, the log indicates a successful connection, however it subsequently fails with a very unhelpful message, "Error running translation".Below is a screenshot of the workflow, modified to test for particular feature classes (as well as a disconnected reprojection step, as I'm not sure if simply placing it between the FeatureReader and Dynamic Writer would work, considering the dynamic nature of the workflow that would input to sources to the reprojector).And the EGDB writer properties and para

Hi,how can i order the nodes on a line.I put line segments into the topologybuilder to generate its topology. in the result i got an orderd line (see attachment) but unfortunatly the nodes are not really ordered (see second attachment).can somebody explain how can i get the right order of the nodes on the lines?thanks in advance

Hello class!In the attached PDF (in Dutch) I have an example of what I want to do exactly but the example was made with the PostMan program (but I can't follow the same steps in FME). Mainly the part of obtaining the Token (access authorization to the Melvin database). I would like to know how to authenticate Melvin API via FME? In this case with HTTPCaller transformer. I already have the Melvin account (username and password), but I don't know how to use this information in HTTPCaller. I have 3 requests, 2 Post and a Get: https://keycloak.ndwcloud.nu/auth/realms/ndw/protocol/openid-connect/token (POST) https://melvin.ndw.nu/melvinservice/rest/area/all (GET) https://melvin.ndw.nu/melvinservice/rest/export (POST) My WS follows along. Does anyone have a model to share? Thanks in advance. Regards, Everton

I'm an FME newbie and am trying to do the equivalent of a join in GIS, where I have a key field in my source data and a key field in my joining data. The issue here is that the fields in these layers are of different data types (source = int, join = char). I tried to use the featurejoiner for for this, but no joined attributes came across in the output. I'm assuming this is because they are of different data types. How can I get around this without having to write a new dataset that has the char attribute converted to int as an intermediary step? Is there a way around having to do this?
