FME Form

I have a problem when creating a workflow in which additional attributes are linked via an identical ID from Excel (name) and Ifc (ETL_TYPEN.NAME). The problem is that not all attributes from the Excel list are recognized and linked and the geometry is taken over in the updated IFC (Writer).

in FME 2020 the behaviour of Generic Reader changed in a way, that "Guess format from extension" for GPKG now defaults to GEOPACKAGE_RASTER instead of GEOPACKAGE (vector). This broke a workflow in our application. Why was this changed ?

Hi, I have a 3D modell as object file. I will convert this to cesium tiles!I tried this way:Reader -> CoordinateSystemSetter -> Writer (Cesium 3D Tiles) But if I import the tiles inside cesium (e.g. cesium ion) I do not get georeferencing. So the model is not display at the correct location.  Is it possbile to assign a georeference to an obj file?

Hello Sir / Madam, So I would like to subtract both "Top Height" and "Rooflevel" attributes. I use attribute manager to calculate the value@round(@abs(@Value(TopHeight)-@Value(ROOFLEVEL)),1) The result is shown as below.However, I want my result to be <null> if either TopHeight or Rooflevel is <null>. May I ask how to do it? Thank you. Zachary

Hi,I'm trying to read in various Caris CSARPC files and some fail with the following errors: (Had to sanitises paths)I've moved the FME temporary file location to a network share that has plenty of space as I thought it was running out on the C: drive, and it is writing the temp files in the correct location.It also is not consistent, I can run other CSARPC files through reader and it works fine, some a lot big then others, not sure what is going on?? Output"FME Configuration: Source coordinate system for reader CSARPC_1[CSARPC] set to `_FME_0' as read from input dataCoordinate System `_FME_0' parameters: CS_NAME=`_FME_0' DT_NAME=`WGS84' PROJ=`MRCATK' QUAD=`1' SCL_RED=`1.0000000000' UNIT=`METER' Storing feature(s) to FME feature store file `\\\\XXXXX-share4\\XXX_GIS_Warehouse_Scratch\\temp\\wb-cache--zD5304\\Main_CSARPC -1 2 -1 0 7d1dc4d5b02aac6f53ce8974ab35efb9a70c671b.ffsupdating'FFS writer: Writing point cloud with 10028592 point(s)

I have a 2016 workspace that I'm upgrading to 2021.2.5. The basic workflow is SQLExecutor -> GeometryReplacer -> Clipper with an AOI -> FileGDB.What comes out of the DB is the geodb_type which helps to determine features get routed either the polyline or annotation feature class. GeometryReplacer is used to convert from WKT so that features can be clipped with the AOI. From SQLExecutor, geodb_type has values (geodb_polyline, geodb_arc, geodb_annotation), but when it comes out of GeometryReplacer, geodb_type values are all missing. So after clipping, everything gets routed to the polyline fc, which will produce this error: "Cannot write a non-linear feature to a polyline feature class." [geometryreplacer_geodb_type.png] My workaround is to use GeometryFilter to route the features + a new AttributeCreator to hard-code geodb_type values to ensure the right features are created in FileGDB, rather than rely on geodb_type values. [geometryfilter.png] I've tried to

I can see the imagery on the inspector but don't see anything in the GDB package that would hold the imagery. The GDB package has ATX, GDBINDEXES, GDBTABLE, GDBTABLX and SPX files.

I am reading a record from a SDE geodatabase and using that record to create a new record. What is happening though is that it is just overwriting the old record. I need to have two records at the end. I select it based on an id and essentially need to make a copy of the record and then overwrite some of the values. Any idea of how I can do that?

I'm trying to connect to and access an MS Access database that has a password and I am getting the following error.   592021-12-20 15:02:42 | COM.safe.fme.jdbc.TableProbablyDoesntExistException: net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessSQLException: UCAExc:::5.0.0 user lacks privilege or object not found: VIP I can connect and access another MS Access database that is not password protected without any issues. For what it's worth, I can connect and access data in the password protected database from FME Workbench on my local PC, just not from FME Server.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi, does anyone know how to fix the "Geom" field and turn it into appropriate coordinates? I downloaded the CSV file from the city of Vancouver open portal and ran it in the FEM workspace without changing any parameters, but I couldn't see any point features after. I was wondering if I should fix the attributes as the coordinates are within the same field? Thank you!

I have a list of codes (over 100) in a CSV and want to use a test for each code in a TestFilter. Is there a way to load them all at the same time rather than cutting and pasting individually?

Hi everyone I'm trying to make a web app that will be situated on our company VPS which is off course on remote server. We are running FME Server 2019 on local machine inside our company local network and is accessed through IP address. For the web app, I'm using some REST API code (I'm not an expert I must say) found in your "data-distribution-with-web-maps" demo where you set fmeserver url and token. Off course, setting those two is not a problem. I have also enabled CORS on FME Server. When opening webpage, web app triggers workbench but nothing happens and web developer error appears : Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https: ...As I have defined in JS file in web app, fmeserver url should start with http and by no means https protocol. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone tried anything similar and made it work?When using this app on local network, it works (CORS disabled). T

Hi Folks - I am looking to use the API to get a list of all the Web Connections on the FME server. Has anyone done this before? Thanks

I know that the SharePoint List reader and the SharePointOnline connector are quite different from each other. Using a registered app on Azure worked fine for the SharePointOnline connector and its attached web service - but for the list reader, the web connection only required us to exchange the [TENANT] with our sharepoint tenant without changing anything else. This was working fine on our testing SharePoint platform using a non-personal user account to logon with. However, on our actual SharePoint platform, this trick does not work when using my own user credentials (it notifies me that the app needs admin rights) - and I am asking myself why. Does the user need to have certain rights in order to use the web connection? Then, as a second attempt, I followed the workflow here https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-create-a-Sharepoint-Web-Connection and it let me successfully test the connection as we have a registered app on Azure. But this failed when I tried to actually use th

I am trying to create an individual HTML file for each 'grouped by' polygon. I have the Fanout Expression set as per below with the attribute that is used in the 'group by' but I just get a single HTML file.  The attribute seems to be available to select but does not appear to be used during output. Is there something different I should be doing to get individual HTML files?

Well, it's time for all the latest FME news for the week. The FME World TourThere are many World Tour events still to come, as well as completed. The 1Spatial UK Tour visited London and tomorrow (perhaps today by the time you read this) is in Cardiff. They have upcoming events in Leeds and Glasgow too. Everyone was happy to be back in person again and to be presenting in front of others.  Also coming up, there are World Tour events in Brazil with Solutial (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), Austria with Axmann (Vienna), and Japan with Pacific Spatial (Tokyo). You know where the full list is. Don't you?! Of course, as some events are completed, their presentations appear online. Here we have some user presentations from con terra España. I don't speak Spanish but I do see mention of CityGML, Cesium, and FME Server Automations. I don't speak Dutch either, but even I can tell what "snel, sneller, snelst" means on Red Geographics world tour page. I think you can still

I would like to see if a value from a specified column/attribute can be counted into another column based on how many times it appears across multiple columns. I hope to do this for every feature/row of a dataset. Example of the data below : In this case, I would like specify the value in the DominantValue field, and I would like to see how many times this value appears in fields: AreaCount1, AreaCount2, AreaCount3, AreaCount4, Areacount5, and AreaCount6. The number of times it appears would be stored in a field called dvcounter. For example the desired output would look something like the below table: Does anyone have any recommendations as to what transformers or workflows can provide this "count" field? I've attached a portion of the csv data that I am working with and the workspace that I am working on. This workflow builds on top of question that was recently answered by @Takashi Iijima​ :https://community.safe.com/s/feed/0D54Q00009RcXusSAF  

Hello, newbie here. I'm using AttributeManager to rename and remove some Attributes - and to add a new Attribute using a Conditional Value based upon (among others) an Attribute named IATA, which contains airport call letters. For San Francisco International Airport, IATA contains "SFO" but for Nadi International Airport, the IATA Attribute contains "NAN". No matter how I try to force FME to treat those call letters as a string, it eventually becomes "if NAN != null... and I get "nan" as the result. Pretty sure that's a bug (2019.2). Note: Set Value with @Value(IATA) works fine with "NAN". It seems to be only the Conditional Value code that has the problem. Does anyone have an idea how to conditionally process an Attribute that may contain the value "NAN" (or other values that might also be mathematical constants)?

I think this is an easy one, however i am stumped.  I have a set of data with 3 columns.  Fieldname, Fieldval, RecordGroup.  I simply want to aggregate by recordgroup and then rename attribute names to the value that is stored in the Fieldname.  Where i am stumbling is how to rename the fields to the values in the input field.  Thanks in advance.   

Is it possible to get an additional attribute from a las file in FME. Indeed I have an input point cloud in las format with a vertical distance attribute on each point.I need this attribute to make statistics.How to get this attribute directly when reading the las file (or other) without passing "PointCloudCoercer"?

Hi, Is there a way to test if a polygon geometry contains curve? I dont find any transformer that explicitely achieve that. Thank you!

I have a workbench to process some raster imagery, each image is stand alone in the processing done, so a clear candidate for parallel processing. The workbench now looks likeI've set the group by to the image name (all unique), and run in both modes with the following outcomes:'Process when group changes (Advanced)' - Task Manager shows only only a single FME instance processing, act as blocking, processing all files before it begins writing results. 'Process at End (Blocking)' - Task Manager shows multiple FME instances launched, but only one is doing any work, acts as blocking, processing all files before it begins writing results. Both paths are giving correct results, I have removed any 'group by' within the custom transformer, I'm trying to understand what is going wrong in running in parallel. Thanks!

Currently, we have a very curious problem. A workspace is made in FME Workbench desktop which runs without any problem. In the workspace, geometry in a ESRI file geodatabase is repaired by a Python script (arcpy). However, when deployed on FME Server, this process results in an unexpected error, see attached file. The account which starts and runs the process on FME server has sufficient read and write persmissions on the location where the geodatabase is stored.  What could be the cause of this problem?  Kind regards,Pim van der Zwaag.
