FME Form

I am creating a connection to an Access DB. The database has a username and password, and when I do the connections for the DB in FME it only asks for a password. After i set the connection up, i create a Reader for it, but after the reader is created it asks me for the username and password for the MS access db again. How do i get this to stop? Cause it is going to ask me that information everytime i run this query, which will be automated.

I build a .kml polygon from information contained in a .pdf file we receive for utility location planning print requests. The polygon has attributes with contact info, start date, bounding box long/lat coordinates, etc... I also have a utility locate app in ArcGIS Online that contains a survey 123 form, a webmap, and a dashboard for tracking the requests. I would like to auto populate the survey123 form with the data from the .kml including the polygon bounding box if possible. It sounds like it should be doable from this: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000017982Could an httpcaller put transformer send the custom url to survey 123?Thanks for any insight you care to share.

Hi,is it possible to use the LineOnAreaOverlayer transformer to test all lines in an area against all areas step by step. That means i have 10000 areas and all should be testest one by one against the 15000 lines in the line port. As a result I need a list which shows me what lines are in every single area. And yes, the same line will be in more than one area. Maybe i colud use a second workspace and use the workspacerunner to bring the data in, but i hope there will be a smarter solution for that.

Hello Dears,Im new to FME. I would like to convert SHP to TopoJSON. Is there any special transformers to use for this process or any customization required.I tried with simple attribute manager but the converted data is just a line. could you please help anyone SC attached  

In QGIS there is a useful tool that generates Random points on lines. It snaps the points to the lines whilst keeping an even spacing between all points. It also has a setting of points per line.Any ideas on how to achieve the same result in FME? Description of the function in QGIS:This algorithm creates a point layer, with points placed randomly on the lines of the Input line layer. The default behaviour is that the generated point features inherit the attributes of the line feature on which they were was generated.Parameters / options:For each feature in the Input line layer, the algorithm attempts to add the specified Number of points for each feature to the output layer.A Minimum distance between points and a Global minimum distance between points can be specified. A point will not be added if there is an already generated point within this (Euclidean) distance from the generated location. Wit

I'm running into a problem with the Google Sheets (V4) Writer. We have a Tableau Public Dashboard connected to a Google Sheets Document. Tableau Public will only daily update it's data when coming from Google Sheets. Other data formats are not supported.To keep our dashboard up to date I'm writing a selection of the last 24 months of data from our internal database to Sheets. About 1,5 million records. Using a 'truncate existing' mode. Only 1 column of data. All columns from B to Z have been removed from the sheet. Writer is set to end at column A . So no extra colums are created.When starting with an empty sheets this runs perfectly fine but after a week of daily truncates the sheet contains nearly 10 million rows. Only 1,5 million contain a value, the rest is empty. So not a real truncate, just a 'delete value' is performed. The next day my workspace crashed because the sheet will exceed 10 million cells...A drop and create won'

Due to a company merge, need to change the network domain for the entire infrastructure. What is the best way to handle FME server migration to the new domain? Is it possible to do an in-place migration, rather than building a new FME server?

 I have some problems using data made from FME. The workflow is basically from excel statistics data combined with feature joiner with shape polygon and after that through attribute manager to shape writer. I'm doing calculations based on both data sources attribute information in attribute manager (arithmetic editor) which I guess changes the data to text with point separator. When I try to do thematic maps in other GIS applications the data cannot be read even though it is there and looks good on the surface and contains both calculated data and polygons. I suspect the reason is that attribute manager changes the information to text after calculations. Even if I manually change the data type to double in shape writer this doesn't help. Any tips? Also possible reason is the use of point separator (most often I use comma). I haven't updated all the transformers lately. (The error I'm getting from ArcGIS when I try to do maps from data is that la

I am importing an AutoCAD DWG with multi-leader blocks for asset locations. The issue I am running into is that the value showing up in FME for the "TAGNUMBERS' is the Default value vs. the value that shows up in AutoCAD.  From AutoCAD: I'm trying to extract the 'T9' text from the MLEADERs shown here:  These are custom MLEADERS developed by the drafting department.  After different attempts to explode blocks, expose attributes both in Model and Paper Space, different combinations of parameters, etc. I attempted 13 different combinations to import the DWG and now luck, I keep seeing this in FME:  FME is only recognizing the 'Default' Tag Number.  I've tried to bring in both Model and Paper Space in a single reader to match Entity Handles, but no luck.

Right now I have several parameters accepting a single attribute selection and a published user parameter that accepts multiple attributes (basically you select all the ones you selected above). I want to use a single duplicatefilter transformer to filter out duplicates of the several user parameters that have already been provided.

My input is contour lines, I want to convert to raster. How can I do this? I was thinking contour->vector->raster, but i am not sure how to convert contour to vector. Any help would be appreciated

Dear All, I have GML with various types features like building, stream, road etc. In building feature member there are sub types like representation_point, roof_outline , roof_surface. My task is to extract only representation_point from building feature member. Kindly advice which transformer I have to use or steps to achieve the task. I tried xmlflattener but ended up with failure.

I've created a workspace server app which allows the user to select a projection from the list of FME coordinate systems and reproject their data. The desktop workbench has access to our FME server (e.g. \\\\A-FME\\FME\\CoordinateSystems) and is able to choose from the list of custom coordinate systems created by our survey department, but the server app does not list the custom coords. I've manually copied the custom files to the server (/a-fme/fmeserver/#/resources/browse/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_ENGINE/CoordinateSystems?name=Engine) but it still doesn't list any of the coords. I've followed the instructions as stated here. Any ideas or suggestions will be much appreciated.

I am using a change detector before uploading anything to portal. I am able to use Inserted and Deleted without any errors. However, when I try to run anything from the Updated side it sends back the Error Code: "Operation rolled back." Any ideas as to why this might be happening

Hello everyone,This is the FME news for 19th January, 2022. Favourite Transformers PollThank you to everyone who took part in my "Favourite Transformers" poll over the last couple of days. Here's the top-ten list of favourites:  FeatureReaderTestFilterAttributeManagerFeatureWriterHTTPCallerAttributeCreatorFeatureJoinerTesterFeatureMergerSpatialFilter So in my not-very-scientific method, the FeatureReader is the FME Community's favourite transformer ever!   Some statistics:There were 65 different transformers mentioned.

Hello,I'd like to "remember" an attribute and use it to populate an attribute of another feature in the same execution.I thought AttributeKepper would do the job (because of the name haha), but the value of the attribute is empty, except in the first pass through the breakpoint. 

As the question suggests I cant seem to find instructions on how to convert LAS scans to GLTF format and retain the color_red, color_green, color_blue values. I've expereince with successful conversion of CAD models to GLTF but the resulting LAStoGLTF refuses to play ball. I've tried various combinations of reading LAS > use PointCloudPropertyExtractor to expose color data and even forced the issue with PointCloudLASClassColorSetter but all to no avail. The resulting GLB is created using default white colors leaving me with non-viewable model. Is this translation just too new a possibility for GLTF writer or am I missing something fundamental here (most probably I hope!). Thanks for any advice.Source LAS from Drone:Resulting GLB model:

Hi everyone,I have a series of regularly produced Excel files, each containing a number of sheets. The number and name of the sheets in each file isn't fixed.I can read data from all the sheets no problem by keeping the reader parameters blank - but annoyingly for these files the header starts on row 2 and in some cases junk is written into row 1. As such, FME picks up attribute names from row 1, so for one sheet the attribute for column B might end up named"995" and for the next sheet it might be "376", so I end up with a lot of attributes where there should be one - ideally just called "B".Is there any way to force the Excel reader to always use column letter as the attribute name regardless of how many sheets are in a file and what they are called?

Hi all,I have an issue when I'm running my workspace. It throws a Python error relating to what I'm guessing is something with the python version: File "C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\envs\\arcgispro-py3\\lib\\site.py", line 177 file=sys.stderr) ^SyntaxError: invalid syntax Warning: not all FMESessions that were created were destroyed before shutdown. This may cause instabilityWarning: not all Stashed Objects that were registered were dropped before shutdown. This may cause instability I'm using Data Interoperability extension to ArcGIS version 2020.2 and have ArcGIS Pro 2.7.2, since I need to be able to write to an SDE and we dont have that license to our regular FME version. But I do have a regular installation of FME, so I'm wondering if the issue could be related to different python versions between the two? I do not have any individual

Hi There,I've got a question that seems to appear a fair bit within the forum but I have so far been unable to find a methodology that works for my case.I'm attempting to identify water mains within a water distribution network that have accidentally been duplicated, incorrectly split and not removed, or more generally are errors that went unnoticed. What I think it boils down to is isolating where lines overlap exactly (Scenario B of attach image), where mains have been split and a segment wasn't retired/removed when (Scenario A), or where a segment was completely replaced the old segment wasn't removed or retired (Scenario C). *Orange segments below are the erroroneous segments I'm attempting to isolate.From the forum posts I've read here there's a lot of talk of using the LineOnLineOverlayer which I have tried usin
