If I have a date field formatted as month-day-year is there a way to retreive just the month and use it in a tester? I want the user to input a month and then if it matches the month in the date field it will select all of those records. The data is in a geodatabase if that matters.

Hi !I have an xls file with 2 columns. One contains a code and the other contains numerics values. I would like to create an attribute that group my data when there are a break on the values and group by code. For example : code valuea 1 => group 1a 2 => group 1a 3 => group 1a 10 => group 2a 11 => group 2b 1 => group 3b 2 => group 3 I saw "AttributeRangeMapper" but I have to indicate the bounds. In my case I would like that the bounds are create automatically because my datas change every time.My values can be integer or decimal. Thanks ! 

Hi friends, I have an ESRI filegeodatabase with 3D multipatches. I want to cut out areas there. I have tried this with the clipper, but no result. Not only that, but I also tried extruding the clip extension. But also without result. Does anyone know the best way to clip this? Thanks!

I want the user to be able to select the tables to be read from a geodatabase. I added the reader using the single merged feature type. This gives me a list of tables for them to choose from. What I want to happen is depending on which tables are selected, it will output to a schema mapper which reads the tables and writes to a geodatabase. So, I was thinking I would want a tester but the tester doesn't have the ability to show the tables. Anyone have any idea of how this can be done?

I have a process were I need to create a downloadable zip file that contains a file that has an odd extension. So far I am able to create the folder, but the file copy writer is renaming the folder instead of making it a file with odd ext. I have added a picture to show how the folder displaying how the folder got renamed instead of changing the extension and making it a file.Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hi.I'm working with a dynamic workflow. I have an ArcSDE reader and in some of my tables (I don't know which ones) I have a date (1899-12-30) that I need to set to null.My idea was to first filter the attributes with a date format, then filter the values and finally set the value to null.I know how to do it with one table because I know which attributes are set to date format. But with a dynamic worflow, how can I detect date attributes in all tables of my ArcSDE DB ?

So I want to delete the duplicates, or find the distinct combinations across two columns.I know I can do that with SQL on a database. But I just have a table here and want to do that directly in my FME script. Does someone has an idea?

I use XMLtemplater to design my XML file from Excel, but i have problem with the result:This result, it coincides with each output data field: I want to group like this:And this is my model FME:Anybody help me, pls !in my excel file, the fields "table_id" in sheet "table" and "table_id_field" in sheet "fields" are key fields to link these two data tables together

Hi,I'm downloading a bunch of text files from an FTP server and the contents of each file is stored in an attribute. The format of a text file is as follows : Station1;2022-04-12;09:00;Var1;True;30.4;Var2;True;0.5;Var3;False;0.0;Station2;2022-04-12;08:00;Var1;True;33.4;Var2;True;0.5;Var4;True;10.3;Station3;2022-04-12;09:00;Var1;True;27.4;Var3;True;0.5; What I would like to do is transform this text to a table as in the attached screenshot, but I have not found any easy way to do it in FME. Would you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm upgrading from 2016.1.3.2 to 2021.2.5.I have geometry stored in PostGIS -> GeometryReplacer converting from Hex OGC WKB -> optional Reprojector -> Shapefile or FileGDB (both types). According to the log files, for 2016, there's barely mention of GeometryReplacer and Reprojector, but for 2021, there's a significant chunk of runtime devoted to passing through the two transformers. There's minimal changes to make for them to upgrade so it's bizarre why it's adding nearly double the runtime. (See log attachments) For production concerns, jobs are taking several more hours to run. Here's metrics for another dataset:2016:2021: Thanks,Janet

I'm having a few issues with the ESRI ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer (using the FeatureWriter). I'm writing to a known ESRI Feature Service using Branch Versioning, and I'm creating a new branch to make the edits in. Using FME Desktop 2021.0.3 (64 bit), I'm finding I can write the Inserts and the Updates to the service, but not any Deletes? FME is completing successfully, so the ‘call’ seems to be successful, and no errors seem to be returned in FME, but any Deletes just don’t seem to be appearing in the branch. I've checked permissions in ESRI, and the user does have editor permissions (including Deletes), and I've successfully deleted a feature using a Branch in ArcGIS Pro itself. Anybody had a similar issue, and if so, how did you overcome it? Many thanks,

I am trying to covert geotagged photos from a mobile phone and convert them into a KMZ file, every works great except the actual photos are not being inserted into the KMZ file... How do I fix this? 

I have added an extra column in the shapefile using attribute manager. How can I edit the values in that column?

Hi!In the translation log, i have tried to add a specific row (in my case row 85) to attribute table without any result. Is this possible to do it? The pythoncaller script (Esri Arcgis Python 3.7) look like this: import fmeimport fmeobjectsfrom arcgis.gis import GISfrom arcgis.apps.storymap.story import StoryMapfrom arcgis.apps.storymap.story_content import Image, TextStyles, Video, Audio, Embed, Map, Text, Button, Gallery, Swipe, Sidecar, Timelinefrom arcgis.gis import Itemfrom arcgis.apps.storymap import Themes class FeatureProcessor(object):  def __init__(self):    pass  def input(self, feature):    gis = GIS("home")    new_story = StoryMap("9f1567e92c514baabdc2e595776bfdc8")    new_story    new_story.nodes    newFeature = fmeobjects.FMEFeature()    self.pyoutput(newFeature)    print(new_story.nodes)  def close(self):    pass  def process_group(self):    pass arcgis package 2.0.0 in ArcGIS Pro needed to run this script. A similar script without arcgis package 2.0

Presagis Creator allows formatting of a hierarchy where polygons can be organized under groups, objects, and naming of polygons. When I read in an OpenFlight file with these attributes and output it to the FME OpenFlight writer the polygon names are all empty. Is it possible to define a hierarchy where groups, objects, and polygons can be customized instead of empty nodes? I included a generic screenshot showing how I would like to organize the FME writer output. Thanks!

I am trying to create features out of a large json file that has many objects mixed in with arrays. I can almost get what I need by using the following query:json["Domain"]["Classifications"][*]Unfortunately, it leaves out a crucial attribute. Here is a screenshot of the json file where it has me stumped:Here is a link to the entire file.The attribute underlined in red is what I am looking for. There are hundreds of them at this level, all differently named. I have not yet found an example of this schema type, with hashes within a hash. In addition, the schema is not uniform. I can get to where it will separate the "Psets" attribute into features, but the "IfcActuator" level does not come through unless it is all in one big feature. Here are some screen shots of what I mean:This is the result of: json["Domain"]["Classifications"][*] Add one more wildcard [*], and you get this:What syntax/language should be used to quer

I have a shp file generated by QGIS with three decimal places. In FME, the feature reader seems to auto round the field. I tried to change the "Numeric attribute type handling" to "explicit width and precision", still doesn't work.  Is there any way to let FME read the data as same as QGIS? ​

I am looking to dump from results of the SQL Executor into a DB table (fields not known). Looking for ways to do it. I see there is Schema and Result port for SQLExecutor. Not sure how to use both in order to insert the data into a table.

I am trying to write a 4 digit year into an existing MySQL database. The field type is year with a length of 4. Therefore, one would think that a 4 digit integer would write into it, but it does not. I get a warning saying "MySQL Writer: Skipped feature due to invalid date/time string". This seems extremely basic, but how do I turn a4 digit integer (e.x. 2012) into a date field that MySQL will recognize as a year?

This is less a question and more of a finding to report. In 2016, File Geodb Open API treats date values "1901-01-01" as "19000101000000", but in 2021.2.5, the reader treats the same value as "000000". The effect is the record gets thrown out, despite the writer saying all features are written.We've had to build in a StringReplacer to find all the "000000" to replace with the original date value.Is this a bug? Update:Affects "1900-01-01" as well.

I have road events from different groups and time lines.. so the geometry doesn't always match but they want me to push them together. is it possible to just use the PathName, Start Measure and End Measure to join many events together?  Example: All Path's have3 events Weight, Height, Width. I want to be able to merge them together like Snipper or LineOnLine so I can join the Start and End Measures where they break.. If needed in Python or Transformer preferably so I can complete this on the fly from two databases to compare.  

Hi, I have loads of vertices that belongs to polygons and want to change the start vertex so that the polygon always start and ends in the lower left corner. The order of the vertices must stay in the same order so its possible to rebuild the polygon. Spatial sorting works to identifiy which vertex that should be the start vertex but messes up the order of the other. Thanks

I have a process where I determine the last ID number used for two id fields using statistics calculator. I then use an aggregator to merge the two ID's. I then bring about 100 records from another table and am wanting to add these ID's to it. But what is happening is that the two ID's are just being added as another record instead. I have tried using variable setter & retriever but those didn't work at all.

Hello, I am trying a simple conversion from KML to csv. I need to write all data from ExtendedData element, it may be SimpleData or Data key/value. All I want is csv file with custom data from kml.  In a workbench I have  Generic reader which reads KML ( GENERIC Reader is requirement)  CSV Writer to write to csv  I have connected reader to writer directly no transformer and I expecting csv file. I yet to put CoordinateExtractor to get coords from file. So I am expexting only data to be written to csv. But when I run the workspace all I get is blank csv.  Here is a sample KML.  <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"> <Document>   <name>My Golf Course Example</name>   <Placemark>     <name>Club house</name>     <ExtendedData>       <Data name="holeNumber">         <value>1</value>       </Data>       <Data name="holeYardage">         <value>234</value>       </D
