FME Form

I have a field Filename where the naming convention is usually 2025 May Report.xlsx or 2025 January Report.xlsx I have used the filenamepart extractor transformer to fetch the filename along with a string searcher transformer just to extract the year and month  from the filename. Now I want to create an additional field where I can flip the year and month -→ Month Year. How can i build the regex to achieve this? Also I might be expecting different scenarios where January is written as Jan, JAN or january

Hi,  How can we set the set the limit for max features to write in the feature writer? I have set the limit of 10,000 in max features to read in the feature reader; will that automatically imply to write 10,000 to the feature writer

Hello,Sorry for the inconvenience. We've never installed a floating license. Is there a process, or do I just need to specify where it's located?Thank you for your help.Regards.

I want to Create a choice User Parameter that will show column list details from database, This will enable me to select my choice column field that when I run the workflow, I will be able to get the output result for only the column in a fanout dataset.

Bonjour,Je souhaite calculer une statistique zonale afin d’obtenir la moyenne des valeurs de pixels d’un raster, sur une couche polygone (vecteur), comme on a l’habitude de le faire dans un logiciel SIG (voir capture ci-dessous).Merci pour votre aide.

I wonder if there’s a way for me to hack the web connection during run time to expose the AGOL Organization URL and token so I can use this URL downstream.The ArcGISOnline Connector returns these as format attributes but I have the extra overhead of running the right action item to expose them. Submitted an Idea related to this:  

Hi.I built a workspace in 2024.1, that fetches a number of files from a customer Sharepoint site. It works (in 2024.1) without problems.I just installed 2024.2, and ran the workspace (with no changes).Now it issues an error with a SyntaxWarning from the package “safe.microsoft-sharepoint”:C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Packages\24783-win64\python\safe.microsoft-sharepoint\stringcase.py:247: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\W' return re.sub("\W+", "", string)Is this something that I should worry about ?SharepointOnlineConnector is not listed as an upgradable transformer in 2024.2Cheers.

SOLVED - I found the error Hello!I've been working on a script that has 56 columns (client needs all the fields of information), and now I need to write it using an Esri File Geodatabase writer. I have double- and triplechecked whether there is an invalid character (since gdbs are quite strict with field names) or a duplicate of one of the fields, but I cannot find it. Is there a tool in FME that let's you identify a duplicate of a whole column in the attribute table? Or a duplicate field name? Or does anyone know if there is another common solution to this error?This is the error code:ERROR |An error occurred while attempting to create the feature class 'Test'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220649'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Cannot create a table with a duplicate column. [Test]} I am using FME form 2024.1.Thank you in advance!

Hello!Is there a way to change the displayed date in a datetime userparameter as DD-MM-YYYY?The chooser interface is helpful to check if it is the right date, but it can still be quite confusing, especially in Flow, when not every user knows about the picker and just enters the date. Is there an option I am missing or is a text-field instead my only alternative? Many thanks in advance!

I have a large PDF that has bookmarks set up. So far I have not figured out how to access. Thanks

I want to download a PDF with the HTTP_Caller and then write it to a directory on the local computer.

Hello FME’ers,I am currently comparing FME and PostgreSQL/PostGIS when transforming some line geometry. In each scenario I need to round the coordinates to 3 decimal places. This has thrown up a anomaly when rounding coordinates ending .4999. For example, the coordinate 104269.57149999999 will be rounded to 104269.571 by ST_ReducePrecision but 104269.572 by the FME CoordinateRounder. I believe this is due to different rounding techniques like round-to-even or half-round-up. Can anyone explain this behaviour? Is there any “right” answer?Thank you,David  

We currently have an .asp script that builds a url/uri based on a selected prefix and document ID.When the OK button is clicked, the url/uri is opened in a new browser tab.The server where the asp script is located is being retired so we need to come up with an alternative.The parameters are Plan Type and Plan Number.The parameters are used to generate a path to the document to open. Eg. \\sample.file.path\resources\SCIMsPlans\pm12345.pdfI have converted the ASP to Python and made a self contained executable that works well but staff are used to accessing the plan search via a web link. I thought a FME web app may be suitable for this.Can anyone point me to the correct transformers to use for this or even better, a sample workspace.In case it helps, below is a snippet from the

We just started integrating data to GCP BigQuery by adding a system environment variable called ‘GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS’ and pointing that to the service account key file. I am anticipating a need to integrate with a different BigQuery and would like to know how to run parallel integrations to two different GCP accounts. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi everyone,I’m pretty new to FME and I’m using FME Workbench 2024.2 to move data from my sde gdb schema to an Esri Parks and Grounds solution fgdb schema. I’m having trouble with the SchemaMapper and moving my domains(attribute values) to the fgdb’s schema. Currently they are not mapping.  Previous SchemaMapper parameter settings moved the source attribute value over to the target attribute, but kept the same source attribute value (MULTI-FEATURE STRUCTURE should’ve changed to Jungle Gym but instead it stayed as MULTI-FEATURE STRUCTURE). Can anyone help provide more instruction on how to get the source attribute values to move to the target attribute name and change to the target attribute value?Here’s the .xlsx I’m referencing Here’s my SchemaMapper Parameters

I’m stringing together a bunch of HTTPCallers, each of which has several query string parameters. From what I can see, you are only able to see two parameters at a time in an HTTPCaller transformer (see screenshot). Is there a way to enlarge/expand the dialog box so I can see all or most of them at once? Should be easy; I feel like I’m missing something. It would be so much easier, helpful, and efficient so see all query string parameters at a glance. (FME Desktop 2023.2.0.0, Build 20231201).

Hello everyone,We are encountering an issue when using the SharePointOnlineConnector. My colleague, who is a member of a SharePoint site, was able to retrieve all files from the site using the HTTPCaller. However, when attempting to retrieve the same files using the SharePointOnlineConnector, not all files are returned. We are unsure why the SharePointOnlineConnector does not return the complete list of files from the site. For further clarification pictures are added:My colleague can access a specific list in Sharepoint itself (Codes)In the SharePointOnlineConnector, after connecting to the same Site, the list Codes is not available to him. Codes is a List and not a Document. Maybe that might be the reason why Codes is not available? 

Is this a bug? I am trying to list and download several files (some have dependencies-- references-- and some don't) and noticed that I cant download files that have an associated reference file.Any thoughts or suggestions?Thanks

I have an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer containing point features that have attachments enabled. Could someone help me with some advice for how to use the ArcGIS Online feature reader that will allow me to access the features and their associated attachments (if there are any-not all features have an attachment)? It is easy enough to get the features, but I can't see a way to access the attachments. Thank you!

Hello,I want to report a bug related to adding attachments to a feature in an ArcGIS Enterprise Feature Service using the ArcGISAttachmentConnector in the latest version.I receive the following error:(C:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\Safe Software\FME\Packages\25606-win64\python\safe.esri-agol\fmepy_esri_agol\attachments\handler.py:104) add_attachment    return AttachmentResult.from_dict(response.get("addAttachmentResult", {}))                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^910523  Python Exception <AttributeError>: 'generator' object has no attribute 'get'The problem is that the ArcGIS REST API addAttachment endpoint returns text/html instead of json. This appears to happen specifically for Enterprise Feature Services, as described

Hi,  I am using a bufferer and a dissolver transformer to generate a buffer polygon from an aggregated set of 500+ geometries. The Inspector is showing the generated geometry but the Oracle Spatial writer is unable write the geom into the spatial table. I am getting the error "Bad geometry detected in the following feature; Geometry could not be encoded for Oracle".  I have added a GeometryValidator after the Dissolver transformer. The generated geom comes through the PASSED output but still the error remains.  FME Desktop 2013 is used.  Regards, Ananda

I’ve got a weird problem where an Excel reader is reading an entire file correctly, except for one column where it is only getting part of the data. When I decode the XML of the Excel file (change extension to .zip and expand), I can look at sheet1.xml and I see the following data:<c s="12" t="inlineStr" r="AK10"> <is> <r> <rPr> <b val="0"></b> <i val="0"></i> <strike val="0"></strike> <u val="none"></u> <sz val="10"></sz> <color theme="1"></color> <rFont val="Courier New"></rFont> </rPr> <t xml:space="preserve"> </t> </r> <r> <rPr>
