FME Form

I'd like to have the value of an attribute as a user parameter.I need to make sure tables I work with comply with a schema. The schema field names are in a CSV, imported without column headers. I aggregate the attribute which leaves me with this output:Is it possible to get the string in col0, row 1, as the default value in a user parameter to ensure my output table conforms to the schema? Thanks!

Hi I am trying to set up the trainingdatabase and are using the correct credentials that is specified in course. host: postgis.train.safe.com, port 5432, DB fmedata User fmedata PW fmedata. When test i got no answer from server. Tested in cmd and it seems to be down?..

I have a dgn file that consist of many models ( it corresponds to a building and every floor has its own model) and I would like to import the models as seperate features in FME if that would be possible. When I try to import individual feature types in the dgn reader, instead of the models I get all the level names instead that are present in the models. So the feature types do not correspond to the model names, but to the level names. So for example I would like to get a seperate feature type of a model for floor 1 and of a model for floor 2. Does anyone know how that might be achieved in FMe desktop?  

After .obj files had converted to cesium 3d tiles, buildings created transparently. When I looked behind building, I saw another building. I dont want it. I want that these buildings are opaque. Is there any way for this?Thanks!

How to compare two database schema (File GDB & SDE) including subtype & domains values.

I have an existing workspace that writes files using a fanout by a selected attribute. The workspace has been promoted to FME Server and runs on a monthly schedule. I noticed recently that the resulting number of output files was incorrect and after some troubleshooting I realized that the workspace will not work as expected unless the features are sorted by the attribute prior to being sent to the FeatureWriter with the dataset fanout by attribute. Should it be necessary to sort first? Is this something new?

I know StringSearch can look at that one selected column but I'm looking for a transformer that will search any column for a value? (similar way Visual Preview can find ??? in "any column")

The input looks like this:The result must look like this:

I'm using a geospatial pdf writer to export a map that was styled with a PDFPageFormatter. The PDF opens correctly in Adobe reader, but not in a webbrowser (Chrome/Firefox). After removing the layer by flattening the pdf (using an online tool or Ghostscript) opening the PDF in a webbrowser is possible. Is there a possibility in FME to flatten the PDF, the PDF-writer always demands a layer name... So writing without creating a layer is impossible.

Hello,Can anyone explain the difference shown below? Inside a standard workflow, the SchemaScanner captures the order of the attribute names correctly as they appear on the input file. However, when used inside of a custom transformer, the incoming attribute names are sorted alphanumerically. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? 

Hi Community, How can I read / expose the element information from a DGN file? Need to be able to read General > Description as the following screenshot shows:I have already played around with the Reader DGN parameters (e.g. read tag attributes, Read XAttributes, etc) with no success.  Any help would be much appreciated. Thank

Hi!I would like to export my datas (only attributes) on a jpeg file.I would like to create a sort of table like on excel, with blacks border and dimentionnate the columns in order to not truncate the datas. And then export an jpeg file.I used ExcelStyler and an JPEG writer, but it failed because it's not an raster format. So I tried with ImageRasterizer but I don't succeed. I'm not use to manipulate raster format. So could you give me advices to suceed?Thanks !

Is it possible to add a pdf as an underlay in a dwg file with FME? I am setting up an automated process for creating dwg-files. Im adding vectordata from a database but i would also like to include a pdf created with arcpy in my dwg. I can see from the format docs that there are attributes for xref:s but i can't figure out how to do it. I have the necessary coordinate information to place my pdf correctly, just not a way of adding it. If it's not possible to create xref:s with FME, is it possible to simply update the xref information in a template dwg-file (including position)?

I had two features that both had FME Geometry of single point that I merged together with FeatureJoiner. The result of join I have single feature with FME Aggregate, with both points inside that. My question is that I want to get the distance (preferred in feet) between the two points that are now inside a FME Aggregate.  I figure the easiest way to do this is with Python caller. I tried looking at the forum question below calling Python. However, I couldn't determine how to use it to get both my FME Points out of FME Aggregate. https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008z6yR3SAI/distance-calculation-per-pipe-segment If there are other suggestions, please let me know.  I'm attaching a sample FFS file with the data points. Can open and see the features each have FME aggregate with two FME points inside tha

I am currently creating a network by running nodes to a central point, using a 2d Grid as my network. I am noticing that points that should follow a similar route, sometimes take a slightly different path see below. I'm wondering if there is anything i'm missing to try and avoid this?  

For example, I have two features with different code in their field "code".These two areas overlap when I use the transformer "AreaOnAreaOverlayer"and I have a field named "overlap" where it writes "2".  But now, I would like a field to know if these overlap include the same code of no. In this example, the features (area) haven't the same code. Thank you!

Currently, we have FME Desktop 2012 installed in our system. I would like to know, that if I install FME desktop 2020.2 in the same system, will the activation key remain same or will it differ? Please suggest.

Hey everyone, I am trying to write a file to a temporary filepath in my PythonCaller script and I thought that using the TempPathnameCreator transformer might save me some time coding something which is a basic function in FME. Unfortunately if I try to write the file to the location I get a python error that says that the location does not exist. I have used the OS python package to test if the temporary path is valid and it is not. Am I using the TempPathnameCreator incorrectly and is it logical that my PythonCaller is unable to write to the temporary location?

Hi I need to post requests to SOAP to retrieve some information about Planning cases back in XML and I have read the article: https://community.safe.com/s/article/working-with-soap-services Our process is more complicated as I need to log in and out of SOAP at the start/end of the process.  I created steps in a TestCase in SOAPUI and it worked and I have set up a workbench with the following transformers: CreatorXML Templater (for login)HPPTCaller (for login - cookies enabled)XML Templater (to Get data)HTTPCaller (to Get data)XML Templater (to logoff)HTTPCaller (to logoff) While this worked for retrieving one planning case I actually need to retrieve information on multiple cases but cannot get this to work. I tried two things: 1) I created a spreadshee

Hi Community,Based on the Figure 1 table, two fields exist as mentioned and I want to find the results as mentioned in Figure 2I tried so many transformers and had no luck.Figure 1Figure 2Please help me with how to get the results.

I created trees in citygml based on point data. The tutorial is described here:https://hub.safe.com/publishers/con-terra/templates/citygml-create-solitaryvegetationobject-with-implicit-representationWorkflow:Result: No I will set a color for this trees. Unfortunately it is not working with appearance setter. No appearance is set inside citygml file. In the description it is written: "tree models: can be any kind of 3D object (Sketchup, OBJ, DWG, ...) but currently does not work with geometry containing color appearances" So does anyone know

Hi friends, I would like to filter roads (Name) that passes through more than 2 suburbs (Suburb). I do not see a straight solution in Tester. Can anyone please give me a clue to about this issue? best regards,FS

This process used to work fine but I realised lately since updating the database connection due to SQL server moving I see it does not update the table like it used to. It stops working at the GeometryExtractor but no errors.  I do getEND - ProcessID: 888, peak process memory usage: 226836 kB, current process memory usage: 93912 kB Can that cause the issue and what would be a way around this issue? Regards, Josh

I m trying to get the data from KMZ and push it to the ArcGIS portal everything is fine but getting errors in the writer<class 'FMEobjects.FMEAggregate'> cannot be converted to esriGeometryPolygonanyone knows where I'm wrong

So I noticed that when using a parameterized INSERT statement in SQL Executor:INSERT INTO MYTABLE(FIELD1, FIELD2)VALUES ('@Value(FMEATTR1)','@Value(FMEATTR2)',)Any NULL becomes an empty string. How do I use logic like the above and still keep my NULLs? I've tried to wrap the entries in VALUES in case statements to catch NULLs and handle them differently - but to no avail.
