Transformers clipper

Hello, I want to cut a layer (buffer zone) according to another layer (urban zones), so I set up the transformers clipper but the cutting does not take place and the entities that emerge are the same as at the input (cf. attachment) :Before Clipper :After Clipper : Would you have an idea to make this cutting work so that my buffer zone does not exceed (that it must therefore be cut) according to the urban areas present in the second layer? Thanks!

Feature Reader from Esri FGDB with a where clause based on a last_updated (date/time) field

Using an Esri FGDB Reader (an Esri FGDB FeatureReader) in a Workbench, I would like to apply a where clause using the last_updated field. I believe that because this is a date/time field that it is causing me troubles as I am able to run tests on other fields. What is the correct syntax to enter a where clause on a date/time field from a FGDB?

Dynamically read and nd create an sde table

Hi All, First of all, thank you for taking your time to read this post.FME Desktop 2022.2Objective: Using the Feature Reader I’m trying to dynamically have a user input an existing sde table name (so the user is prompted to insert the table name that already exists), then I have a reprojector followed by the FeatureWriter to Drop and Create the table in a new projection. The table to be dropped an create will be the same one inserted by the user. Hence, this table already exists. Error: ‘Feature Type Definition {feature here} was requested, but not defined’. I checked another similar post, but I still can’t get my workbench to work. I have a Feature Reader set as follows: When I run the workbench, the FeatureReader does not show the table name that was inserted by the user, but instead, it catches the table records under ‘Generic’ see screenshot below. (If I were to access that table statically (connecting to the table via the SDE connection), then the table name will display along w

convert lines to gpx-files, fanout by name of the route

I have a feature class with cycling and walking routes (with ID and Name) and a feature class with the starting points of the (circular) routes. I want to write all the routes in the feature class to separate gpx-files. Each gpx-file should have the name of the route in its filename.I tried with the ‘fanout’ option in the writer, but the resulting files are no gpx-files and are very small (1kB), so without content I guess. Any advise?

Change Detection port delete not work

Hi all,I am using Change Detection to compare 2 geodb_tablesAt the delete ports, the correct number of deleted rows is 2But it is not being cleared in my writer, the result in the output table is still 11Please let me know how to fix this error.For the geodb_point and geodb_line data, the result is completely correct, only geodb_table has an error as I showed above.

DGN lines to infinity

I try to read a dgn file using FME and have some special results. The data is in epsg:28992 (Netherlands RD new) which is in meters. But it reads lines with the following coordinates:189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.224907750701906 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304 189492.31740355192, 348069.1195426307, 28.22490763540268 189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.22490775070190The second coordinate seems to be very far off and not correct. I am able to delete the points from the lines which are that far off, but I wonder if anyone knows this as a bug, a feature or a setting?Thanks for looking,Niels

Merging rasters causing problems downstream

Hi,This is a question that is really related to another piece of software (lastools) but it is using a product of FME.Basically in lastools you can colour a point cloud by an aerial image (the same as PointCloudOnRasterComponentSetter). I want to set up a script to do it in lastools because that is faster for this task.Anyway, lastools only accepts one raster (tif) as an input. I have multiple overlapping rasters. The overlapping parts are identical. What I want to do is merge these rasters and chop to the extents of each input point cloud.That is all easy but I’m having a little trouble getting it to work. It seems that lastools doesn’t like the RasterMosaicker transformer. The input (pre merged) rasters work fine, and even the clipped rasters (clipped but not merged). Which I’m taking to mean my writer properties are correct. I can’t see any difference in properties between ones that work and a mosaicked raster. I.e the bands/palettes are all the same because the source rasters are a

FeatureWriter GDB Performance // Over 94M records to process

Hi All,Today’s million dollar question: I have created a workflow to process some polygon and table data into a template GDB. The process isn’t too complicated but I think the most consuming transformers in the process are the DataTimeConverter and the FeatureWriter. I have done some tests but assume that processing around 94M of records will takes days. Mainly, writing 94M of records into a gdb template will be a nightmare.Here is a screenshot of the workflow, I have also attached a version of it:How can I improve the performance of the workflow and process around 94M of records in a clever way?Open to suggestions :)Thanks

Export by Polygon Selection

Hey all, I am very new to FME and this may be a basic question, But I currently can’t find the answer elsewhere so I figured I would post and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. Currently, I am exporting from a GE small world database and moving the data to a FGDB for data analytics in other software. This is a complete export of all available data. That much I have been able to figure out with a few minor transformations. What I can’t yet figure out is how do I export only a small portion of the database. Say by a predefined polygon within the existing data set. For example My DB crosses a number of contiguous cities all having a defined boundary within the drawing. How do I tell FME to select and export only the lines and other objects within the city boundary of interest and excluded the data within the other city boundaries? Ultimately I need this breakdown so I Can export this to AutoCAD since the full DB is entirely too large for one drawing. Any help is apprec

Generic reading GML on a web yields http 404

Hello, I am trying to read data of different formats, controlled by a resource list. I isolate web services with a separate WFS FeatureReader, I do not have database resources and for the other resources I use a Generic FeatureReader, with the REAL_FORMAT parameter set to:<Guess format name from extension>Some resources include gml files on a web location (URL). The Generic FeatureReader usually reads them correctly, with one exception that gives an http 404 error (Not Found). I can avoid the error by choosing OGC GML (Geography Markup Language) for the REAL_FORMAT parameter. But I cannot control this from my resource list, only with a published parameter. I have tried adding an OGC GML resource reader, but this does not help. The Guess format parameter apparently does not make the right choice.Does anyone have an idea how to solve this, without adding a tester with a separate FeatureReader or using a WorkspaceRunner?I'm using FME Form 2022.2.4 (Win)Below an extract of the worksp

But when opening the dgn, I noticed that every level that uses an attribute value has the colour ‘white’ instead of the intended colour.Is this a bug? Can somebody help me how to solve this?Thanks in advance.

After the update, I also updated some transformers.Now, I need to revert to FME 2022, but some transformers are incompatible and not visible on the workbench.Is there a possibility to restore those transformers to a previous version to be compatible with FME 2022?Thanks!

Executing vacuum in PostgreSQL via SQLExecutor

I have a workbench that imports a lot of data into PostgreSQL (~90m records across 3 tables, 1 containing spatial data) and we've identified a possible need to vacuum the tables. The data is "cleansed" post-import via a SQLExecutor that deletes data, creates data if necessary. However, we're unable to vacuum analyze (Analyze is fine) the data once that occurs as it appears that the SQLExecutor wraps commands in a Transaction Block - which means we cannot Vacuum. Any ideas on how we can perform vacuum via the SQLExecutor or have another strategy we can utilise? I am unsure whether using the writer's post-write execution of SQL in a parameter is performed before or after the VacuumAnalyze option that FME provides. I've seen some information around setting Autocommit to on/off within the SQLExecutor but this does not work in the newer versions of PostgreSQL. We are using an Azure managed database

To do that I have used another HTTP caller set to POST with the URL.../services/Ams/Attachments/AddWorkOrderAttachment?
