Hello Experts,I have 3 files A: Point FileB : Line file (Street)C : Line file (Street2)I have extracted Street names from the A point file and transferred them to the closest street B. But unfortunately, the street names have been populated to streets within provided distance. This has caused superfluous names to the streets. I need to populate the street name to the streets where the names are missing, but it also should not be available in the polyline file C. Basically i want to identify the superfluous names.Any help would be highly appreciated

Hi All, i am trying to create some statistcis (records counts) on  10 fields in a table. I dont want to use multipule filters if i can avoid it.   I want to find out how many rows in the table have valid values such as ie Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) ie Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) ie Diameter <>  "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,)  The TestFilter looks promising except the test condtions are If, Else if, Else. I want the test conditions to be  IF, IF, IF.  ie currenlty the test filter allows IF Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) Else if Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) Else Diameter <>  "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,)   i would like it like  IF Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0)  -- port these to statscalc IF Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00)  -- port these to statscalc IF Diameter <>  "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,)  -- port these to statscalc  is there another way im missing ?  Many Thanks    Steve     

Hello,I have a shapefile representing a neighborhood of a city. It contains 455 shapes with one shape per building. Each shape contains multipolygons corresponding to the building walls or little facade elements. Some buildings have common walls but their 3D points are not equal (typically 10 cm distance between them).I would like to group the neighboring buildings and extract their hulls. In other terms, I would like to only keep the multipolygons that constitute the contours of the building blocks.I am a beginner with FME and I have tried many transformes (geometry extractor, bufferer, dissolver, deaggregator, aggregator, hullreplacer) but I could not get what I want.If you have any advice, that would be great!Thank you!

hello i would like to RUN my workbench with a batch file, so i copied the first line of the log but when i try it, it just launch FME with the workbench but he doesn't run it. how could i do that ? thanks charles.

Hello,  I'm currently testing all the workspace I have after upgrading from 2020.2 to 2021.1.3. There is an issue I can't fix. I have a workspace that export data from postgresql base to an excel file. The file can be modified so I have a dynamic feature reader to get the model and a dynamic writer to write the data.In 2020.2 it works (I still have the version on my laptop, until all projects have the same version). With the same data and the same workspace, but using 2021.1.3 version of FME, my file is writen empty ....FME isn't failing but I have 95 warnings :  Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being recorded on all output ports.Logs_systeme_StatisticsCalculator (StatisticsCalculatorFactory): Attribute 'resultat' has no statistics requested. If statistics are expected for this attribute please ensure that they are selected in the Statistics to Calculate tableExcel Reader: Found named range '_xlnm__FilterDatabase' on she

Hello,question about SSO for FME Server 2020. Is the SAML protocol supported?ThanksRoberto

This is definitely a "New to FME" question. I'm using FME Desktop, FME(R) 2021.2.3.0 (20220131 - Build 21812 - WIN64). When I select "Check for Updates..." an alert says that I new version of 2021 is available with a link. When I go to that web page, I see that 2022.0 is available. Is there is any reason I would not want to upgrade to 2022.0? When I upgrade to 2022.0, will some of my workspaces and transformers need to change? Thanks.

I have a series of user parameters that will display when I use preview but when I run the workspace the last one won't display. I can't see any options where a parameter wouldn't be visible when running the workspace. Is there a limit to the number of user parameters that can be set?

Hello, FME'ers,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly look at FME news. Today is May 4th, so it's Star Wars Day - and don't forget you earn a special badge for posting on the community today - or Cinco de Cuatro if you're a fan of Arrested Development (who isn't?) Either way, we're celebrating the release of FME 2022, which became available for download yesterday. FME 2022So FME 2022 is now officially released:  As always, you can find it on our website's downloads page, along with the full list of updates and changes in the ChangeLog file.  I'm sure there are lots of obvious changes, and you know about many of them already. But something I only noticed for the first time today is that the AttributeFilter now allows imports from Feature Caches:   It was something that helped me a great deal, and I hope you find it useful too. Something else new that I'm quite fond of...  The new Start Page with workspace preview image and the ability to &quo

I am updating a table in a database where I must insert, update or change value of one attribute of a record when it is deleted from source (ex: field ISDELETED is changed from N to Y when record is deleted). So in ChangeDetector I am connecting the destination table to "original" port, and new incoming data to revised port.The issue is that the attributes coming to "revised" don't have the same name like the ones from destination table, and I am using in my script a SchemaMapper tomap Source Fields to Destination fields (as the names can change and customer has access to the table used in SchemaMapper only).So because the attributes have different names, I don't think that the ChangeDetector will do it's job correctly. I attached a dummy script and dummy data to this issue.Can you give me some help here? Thanks.

I want to calculate the volume of ditches. It is do-able to determine the shore heights of these ditches, but it is not very precise. A better way would be to do a fill sink analysis. As far as I know FME has no way of doing this?

I have run some stats on a dataset where features fall into a specific polygon and have the count and the category. I now need a list that I can bring together in a single concatenated value that is {count1, cat1, count2, cat2, count3, cat3} The problem is that the number of the categories varies from polygon to polygon. The approach so far is statistics calculator => list builder => list concatenator (using category) => list concatenator (using count) which gives me two lists, comma separated but need to being them together. with the resultDoes anyone have any suggestions on how to bring together? 

I have a bunch of statistics that I want to add to a HTML report similar to the image below. Not all columns have the same number of rows nor is each column / row related across the table. So was thinking that if I could create a table and each cell contain a list or similar.   Any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thanks Dean

I have an ArcGIS feature layer with two tables that I'd like to backup daily. I've created workspace with two readers and two writers. The Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature Service Readers read from the two tables. The Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb) Writers write to the same geodatabase (.gdb) folder.  This works great. For the GeoDB writer I'm using Insert for the feature operation to append rows onto the destination table. Since I'm writing to the same GeoDB folder, over time I don't think that this is not the same as creating a copy. I'd like to try to append the date to the file name such as fileName_220503 for today so that I have a new gdb folder. I'm not sure how to do that. Ideally, storing no more than 30 or 60 days of backups would be best. So, maybe appending a number (instead of a date) would be better. I plan to run this from the Windows Task Scheduler (which I have not used before). I'm not sure how to limit the number of backups to 30 or

I am using a statistics calculator for a max value and then use the counter to proces new features which receives the new value thats Counter start = @value()+1. However it keeps failing due to an INVALID_PARAMETER_COUNT_START. I can't figure out why it fails. I tried setting the scope to global or local but it just doesn't want to work. So does anyone have an idea on how to avoid the Counter and get the same result? My thanks in advance! - Zoë

I have a dataset that has been collated daily over the past year but a crucial attribute hasn't been collected which would have taken the submission date of the record and looked back to see if any matching records by Name over the last 10 days and then if true write a True or false into an attribute.Is there an easy way run/play back through the dataset by day and calculate the True\\False attribute and then add to the result, I need to consider all dates cumulatively so the first date I would be just records for that day then 2nd date would be the processed records and the records for the next date etc.It feels like it should be quite a simple thing to do but I can't get my head around it at the moment, any help would be much appreciated. Many Thanks  Tom

Hi, Is it possible to make a Intersection and set that, work just if the two, or three pologon contains other by 90%. Thanks

Hi, I'm creating a workbench to make some audit on GIS files. First my workbench list all files that are into a directory (including subdirectories).Then, I filter theses files to keep only the one I want to audit, for exemple every shapefiles.Finaly I get the schema of every shapefile with the <schema> output of a FeatureReader. It works really great but if I have two files with the same name in two different subdirectories my problem comes : only 1 schema is kept.That's how FME works, it unions feature types with the same name. But in my case, I need to analyse the schema of every layer even if they have the same name. This is an audit so these file can have different schema even if they have the same name. I want to have an automatic workbench and not having to create one FeatureReader for each directory. Is there anyone with an idea on how to get the schema of two files with the same name in two different subdirectories ? Thank you

Is it possible to draw a 'centerline' for a polygon but on e.g. one third from the outer edge instead of half ways?

Hello, I created a batch file and need to run it through a task schedular. The file gdb needs to change in this batch file on every run. I am not sure if is there a way to loop through a folder and select the current gdb from the folder.  "C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fme.exe" "D:\\Workspace_features\\Country_NEW_APM updates_FeaturesOnly.fmw" TRANSACTION_TYPE_GEODATABASE_SDE "VERSIONING" VERSION_GEODATABASE_SDE "DBO.SarahS_APM_edits_Country_006" geodb "G:\\APM_DOWNLOADS\\Country\\Country_Bulk_2022-05-01_22-43-59\\Country_Bulk_2022-05-01_22-43-59.gdb"PAUSE Any advice and suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sarah

Hallo FME Community, I am trying to convert ArcSDE to DWG file. A DWG template is available for this, which must be applied to the points (See picture 1).   in my file there is a column named autocad_block_name. this column defines which symbol in DWG template has to be applied to which point. one layer can contain two symbols. (See Picture 2)   Other column is autocad_layer sets the name of the layer in writer.   the DGW Template contains 250 layers and each layer contains a symbol. from these 250 symbols we only need 40 symbols. what problem is that my result contains all layers of DWG_Template and autocad_layer column. I want my result to only get the layers that are in my autocad_layer. 

Hi all, I'm trying to download a file from a secure url using MOVEIT platform. The URL for the file looks like: https://moveit.alleghenycounty.us/download?arg01=file859046970&arg02=124162592&arg03=b24db17e945a7f9aeee83c81d52cbc The site uses a secure login and I have username and password The first step in the workflow is to download a .xls file. Do I start the workflow with an HTTPCaller or do I need a reader first? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Jason  

Hi All, the attached screenshot explains a lot so might want to check that out first. My problem is that I have successfully set up a homemade 'file watcher' where we can drop various files into one folder to be sorted and moved to their correct folders. All this is doing is saving a lot of manual drag and drops but there's a lot of them so it's quite useful (if I can get it to work).  As you can see in the screenshot, the first 4 files sorted just get copied back out and that works perfectly. The 5th, an xls file called 'covid vaccine data', needs to be read in and the records written back out as a csv before being copied elsewhere. You can see that I attempted to use a Feature Reader but the records come out blank so the writer at the end writes out 1,274 blank rows. Any idea how to make this work so I can get that file, read in the actual data, and write it back out? It feels like I'm close but it sure isn't working yet :) Thanks in advance,Ian
