FME Form

I am having problem writing attributes with swedish characters (åäö) to a mssql table.The characters get replaced by other strange characters instead. I am using FME Desktop 2022.0.0.2 build 22343.The database is set up with collation Finnish_Swedish_CI_AS as it should be.Other programs such as QGis is writing åäö to the table correctly.Is there some kind of setting that I need to do in FME or is this a bug?

Hi I am reading Smallworld data which has internal and external objects. When reading external objects we don't have any problem and all are read properly. In case of internal objects, the geometry is not extracted by FME by reader.  Is there any way we can read smallworld internal objects in FME without Spatial Biz? Thanks Siva Bulusu

Working on a little data quality initiative and would like to use Geospatial PDF writer. So I'm reading some SQL spatial data, then filtering, grabbing a centroid, building a bounding box, using that for the 'Map Extents' parameter in the Geospatial PDF writer after adding some labels. With fanout, I can write a bunch of PDF files that show my feature/label pair.  Is there not a way to append all these pages to the same PDF instead? The section "Adobe Geospatial PDF Multi-Page Support" sure sounds like this should work but I can't figure out how. 😉  Only way I can see is use FeatureWriter and followup with a Python Caller to do this part.Any suggestions appreciated. 

Dear Community,  I have a number of points in one dataset and I would like to draw lines so that I connect each point with all other points (many to may). How do I do this in FME?  Regards, Mats

Recently updated to 2022 and can no longer see a table through a portal connection.I can still see the other three feature classes but not the table. Is this a bug in the new version of SDE or did something change?

Hi,I have tried several parameters with the "Landsat-8 on AWS" reader, but every time, it returns nothing. I have included on screenshot of the reader. Would you have any idea why it doesn't work? Thanks!

From FME desktop it is possible to write the correct datatime (TIMESTAMP(6) to TIMESTAMP(6)) )when I switch the rows timestamp fme_datetime, timestamptz(width) fme_datetime in file:  "C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\metafile\\oracleAttrCommon.fmi".From FME server TIMESTAMP(6) becomes TIMESTAMP(6) WITH TIME ZONE...Is there a file on FME server what overrules this modification in the fmi file?

Hi all,I want to read out an Rest API. I examined the contents of the api using Swagger. I first have to authorize myself to use the api. After that I have to login on the API. With Swagger this works all well. How can I do this in Workbench? I started with a creator. Connected to that I use a HTTPCaller to authorize myself. That's working well. Than I use a HTTPCaller again to read out some data with the credentials of the login window. Than I get an error of accessing the url.  What is the best way to work with this kind of "double" authentications?

want to ask about my research, which is about converting IFC data to CityGML and CityJSON formats for 3D Cadastre. I'm having problem converting citygml model to cityjson using fme . The citygml model I got from converting the ifc model on the fzk viewer. The ifc elements I convert to citygml are ifc space . But when I convert it to a cityjson model, the space (room) element doesn't appear in the ninja cityjson viewer (https://ninja.cityjson.org/#). Can you explain why this can happen? does cityjson not support space elements represented in lod4solid model?

Hi all! This is a follow up from this post - super quick recap is that I have lots of Excel files, and I need to read their column headers into their own sheet.  I was able to get the FeatureReader running (thanks to excellent support agent Trent!) with a single Excel file. However, I'm running into an issue now when I try to run multiple Excel files at once, I get the following errors:The schema did not contain information for sheet 'test_data'Excel Reader: The schema did not contain information for sheet 'test_data'Excel Reader: The schema did not contain information for sheet 'test_data'Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'XLSXR' from 3 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See logfile for more informationFailed to obtain any schemas from reader 'XLSXR' from 3 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading. See

I'm using a FeatureWriter set to Esri ArcGIS Online Feature Service to publish a Feature Layer having a polyline layer to AGOL. How can I reference the polyline layer URL in FME right after it gets published?

When I try, it throws an error. Indeed, there's no button in the editor that seems to offer user parameters as an option. I'm currently on FME 2021.0. Thanks.

I have converted a DWG layer to shapefile and am in the process of trying to georeference it. I have used the AffineWarper to get the data to the correct location but the scale is too big and I need to reduce it. When using the Scaler it changes the location. I then used the Offsetter but it does not place the features where I need them either!Any help would be much appreciated 🙂Screenshot shows process after AffineWarper with features in right location but with wrong scale.

I would like to switch fields names and their values in Excel . Because for now, fields names are in columns and their values are in rows. Thanks for helping.

I'm trying to separate several years of data based on an install date which is input as a string field.  The data is manually input as a simple string (ie. "2019" no day or month information) and in an effort to keep from having to manually update the entire process at year's end I'm using a test filter with date/time functions that will pull out "Current Year", "Last Year", etc. for several years of data but I'm having trouble getting the string converted to a format that the date/time functions will recognize. I've tried using the string formatter to get the string into a number which I thought would register as a date automatically with FME but that doesn't seem to work either.  Any thoughts? This seems like such a simple issue I can't find a solution for.

 Hello I have some result data in FME, I want to export these data to excel, how can I do this (see example jpeg)

I want to be able to present the user with a single input option that will accept either a shapefile or an FGDB feature class. It doesn't seem possible to me because: the generic reader doesn't seem to allow you select an FGDBI can't have a shapefile reader and an FGDB reader in my workspace, but only use one Am I really going to have to create 2 workspace apps, one that processes shapefiles and one that processes FGDB feature classes? FME Desktop 2021.2 and FME Server 2021.2.

Hello! FME newbie here 👋 I have 100+ Excel workbooks, each of which has 2-4 worksheets in them. To prep to do some schema mapping, I'd like to read out all of the attribute names to a new spreadsheet (Excel or CSV, doesn't matter). Could anyone give me some guidance on how to do this? I've played around with the following transformers, but haven't had much luck figuring out how to use them to do what I'm hoping to do:Sampler (with no header on Excel reader)AttributeTransposerFeatureReaderAttributeExposerAny help, guidance, or links that might point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Will FME work on a file-system-based control such as Visual Source Safe (VSS)?

I have numerous shapefiles in numerous folders. While I can parse through all of these and convert directly into a GDB I will have 203 separate classes. I would like to use the parent folder name as my feature class name. Each folder has a varying number of SHPs in it but they all belong to their parent folder.

I have to read and process features in several File GeoDatabases and was going to use the FeatureReader to do so. I expect not more then a single feature class in each gdb, and you can see the parameters dialog in the following. It does not matter if I change the output ports from 'Single Output Port' to 'One per Feature Type', all the features in the feature class are read, but their attribute table only returns a single column, labeled <no schema>, while the Schema output port of the FeatureReader contains the structure of the initiator, and an attached ListExploder shows the correct schema. Yet, I do not get any attributes of the objects, due to <no schema>. How do I get the proper schema of the GDBs returned, so that I have the correct attribute values to work further?

Firstly, I have 10 .gml files and want to convert these files to cesium 3d tiles, then want to show this model with cesiumjs. However, in result of my workflow, I got several errors and warnings.1- I want to show my workflow in FME :2- I want to share errors which I get :Finally, This workflow has been completed, and then b3dm file and tileset.json have created. However, tileset.json file has created erroneously. For example, bounding volume is not created correctly.3- I got screenshot in order to examine:I want to complete these steps efficiently.Which transformators should I use in this workflow in order to complete and visualize buildings? How to solve this problem? I would be appreciative.

Hello everyone, I have a drawing in the picture. There are many polygons drawn on top of each other in this drawing. In some of the polygons I have extra drawings. Place 1 is correct, place 2 is correct, but place 3 is wrong. In a layer with grouped holes, I have a drawing on the bottom with the same shape, but some of the holes are hollow. How can I detect empty spaces? ( see ex. 3)
