FME Form

I have data that would need to be loaded into different tables. But I need to load them to load in a specific table order because of foreign key constraint. I have put on a connection runtime order which only controls the very next transformer. One of the data paths has a statistics calculator so i thought if i put a statistics calculator on the path that needs to be loaded last, this would give me the order I need but they are still going first.The first 2 are going in at the right order. The 3rd has the statistics calculator. It also has a tester where only the records that passed will be in the statistics calculator. The records that failed do not need to go anywhere. Also, all records can fail the tester. In that case, no related IDs are created for the 4th table so then the Foreign Key Constraint is not violated.I added 2 feature Holders and 2 statistics calculators on the 4th path hoping the 3rd path will finish first, but the statistics calculator for the 3rd pa

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here has any idea why this is happening. When I open fmeworkbench.exe, four processes are created:QtWebEnginepProcess.exeQtWebEnginepProcess.exefmeobjectsworker.exefmeworkbench.exe But when I close the FME Workbench window, only the top three processes are ended. fmeworkbench.exe continues to run in the background. The number of fmeworkbench.exe processes keeps increasing the more times I open and close FME Workbench, which is quite often on a typical day. It ends up taking a lot of memory, so I'd like to figure out how get these closed properly. This behavior is consistent across the three versions of FME I have installed (2017.1.2.1 32 bit, 2021.1.2.0 32 bit, 2021.0.1.0 64 bit), and is only occurring on a Windows Server 2012 machine. FME Workbench (and FME Data Inspector) are the only programs on the server that are exhibiting this run in background after closing behavior

I'm trying to reproject layers that were built in CAD. The first 6 figures of the coordinates match up to british national grid 6 figure grid ref. BUT there are 9 figures in the grid reference almost like it used BNG in millimetres instead of metres. I'm sure it is a simple quick convert/reproject but I'm a bit stumped...?

Hey FME'ers. I've not been online for a bit recently (because of updating the FME training materials for 2017) but I wanted to throw out a new idea that is part challenge, but part crowdsourcing.I came up with the idea of an FME-driven service for assessing a workspace for best practices. Just now I found I wasn't the first to think of this, which shows there aren't any new ideas any more!Anyway, in my spare time I've been putting together a workspace using the FMW reader to test other workspaces for best practice. I've built about 20 different tests and can think of quite a few more. But I thought it would be great if we - the FME community - could work together to take this idea to completion.So, this is an open invite to take part in this project. I think there are a number of different ways you could contribute:

Hi All, I am stuck trying to figure this out. I am having trouble seeing feature classes inside FeatureDatasets using the FeatureReader. My Feature Types to Read is fme_feature_type_name and I am exposing fme_feature_type and geodb_metadata_string. All seems to work for feature classes but FCs in FeatureDatasets are skipped in Generic. They come across in the Initiator though. See screen cap below. I must be missing something simple. Any thoughts?

I have a workspace which reads rows from an excel file and writes the same rows to an other excel file using dynamic schema definition. Gets the schema from the excel file which is read. My problem is that the first row that is read is skipped in the writer. In the attached example the output will only contain the second row of TestExcelWriter.xlsx

I have a data that contains whitespaces at the beginning, between and at the end. I have used an attributetrimmer to trim out the spaces at the beginning and end, but I am left with the spaces in between. Please, does anyone have an idea of how I can go about it because I can't keep using a stringreplacer repeatedly for this large dataset?

I'm fairly new to FME Desktop. I have a FeatureWriter with three inputs. I'm creating an Excel file with three sheets. It works great except many of the column widths are much wider than the content. I have to open each sheet, select all columns and Auto Fit Column Width. Today I realized that if the data type is text(255) then the column width will be 255. If the data type is text(150) then the column width will be 150. My data source is an ArcGIS feature layer created from Survey123. The default length for a text field is 255 so, I have many columns that with a width of 255 in Excel. This doesn't seem like a great way to determine width. I'd rather go with the Excel default column width. In the User Attributes tab of the FeatureWriter parameters, I see that I can set the column width. I believe that I can use zero to auto fit the column width. The problem is that I have about 30 columns and 3 sheets so, I'd have to type '0' c

i have seen numerous posts about this but i cant get a good working solution. i have a user parameter that i want to limit a second user parameter based on the selection of the first. so far i can get a filter on the first parameter but how do you link the second parameter to the first in order to present the user with only the attributes that match the first parameter?

Hi, How could I assign a value to a polygon based on the value of most of the overlapping points? Thanks in advance. 

FME Desktop: Attributes fails to be transferred to a file geodatabase, In the screenshot below, I wanted to write the result of the “geometry filter” into a file geodatabase having all fields transferred. However, the indicated fields are not transferred. What could be the issue here? The data and workbench are attached        

I just would like to convert xml files to json keeping the structure. I give you an example of my problem : My xml files look like that : <Organisme id="pmi-25047-01" codeInsee="25047" dateMiseAJour="2019-04-19" pivotLocal="pmi">  <Nom>Centre de protection maternelle et infantile (PMI) - Baume-les-Dames</Nom>  <EditeurSource>La Direction de l'information légale et administrative (Premier ministre)</EditeurSource>  <Adresse type="géopostale">  <Ligne>2 rue des Frères-Grenier</Ligne>  <CodePostal>25110</CodePostal>  <NomCommune>Baume-les-Dames</NomCommune>  <Localisation>  <Latitude>47.3492012024</Latitude>  <Longitude>6.36126995087</Longitude>  <Précision>8</Précisi

I'm trying to convert a CityGML file into a 3d model that I could open with Blender, I was able to use FME data inspector to convert it to .obj, but it doesn't come with any textures. How can I convert CityGML to .obj or other 3d format with textures included? EDIT: And by the way I have never used FME before, and I'm not planning to use it for anything else than converting CityGML to 3d models, so explaining the process step-by-step would be really helpful.

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

Desktop version 2020.2.0.0 Build 20787, FME Server version 2020.2 Build 20787.  When the workbench is run in Desktop, the result is:> FMEServerNotifier: Sent notification to topic ... on FME ServerAnd the second workbench in FME Server gets triggered as expected. However, when it is run in FME Server, the result is:> FMEServerNotifier: Failed to send notification to topic ... on FME Server>FMEServerNotifier: Reason - unable to connect to FME Server Some things that have been attempted:+ ensuring 64 bit desktop upload to 64 bit Server+ using a different connection+ trying to verify topic and connection credentials with admin person+ verified the Topic can be run directly within FME Server, which triggers the other workbench correctly+ Desktop and FME Server versions appear to be the same ie 2020+ adjusted the python interpreter+adjusted the Notifier's pr

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.
