Why this is not working? 😕 I am using:2020.2.0.0 (20201027 - Build 20787 - WIN32)REALDWG reader/writerDWGStylerI want to: read DWG file with som "autocad_text" entities,change size of these entities,write it to new DWG file.My approach:I use REALDWG reader to read my dwg:

 I have a workbench that has two ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE GeoDB) readers. The first (TableA) is a table containing updates that have been made, there could be up to 500 rows found. The other (TableB) is the table that needs to be manipulated based on the updates found in TableA, this table has 500,000 rows.  For efficiency sake, I am hoping to only read the TableB if there are rows returned from TableA. Can we tell the workbench to run the TableA reader first, IF rows found in TableA, then read TableB and continue through workbench processes, ELSE end workbench. Any thoughts on if this is a possibility?

We use the ProjReprojector to reproject data (FME 2020.1.0.1), using a wkt string. For the UK, a special datum shift grid is specified in the wkt2 string, yet the resulting raster is not located correctly when reprojecting to EPSG:3857. I'm wondering if this issue is related to FME, parameters in the wkt2 string or my (limited) knowledge in this area.  When reading the raster, FME reports a crs of _FME_0. I can manually set this to "OSGB-GPS-2015-OSTN15" using a coordinate system setter, yet I prefer to perform the reprojection based on the wkt2 string. Can somebody please assist in how to do this with FME? Attached zip file contains the raster data, the wkt string, a document with the current (and expected) location.

Hi, I have two shape files. One containing roads and one containing the grade of the condition of the road based of an inspection. The shape files share two attributes, starting point of the road and ending point of the road. I would like to add an attribute in the road shape file, which is the grade from the other shape file. Not every road has been graded, but I would like to add the grade as a new attribute for those that have a grade. So, if there is a matching starting and ending point in both shape files, which means that it is the same road, the grade should be printed as a new attribute in the road shape file. I hope this makes sense. Thanks a lot in advance! :)  

Here are the BADNEWS errors, these I haven't seen before.

Hi,I have FME(R) 2021.1.2.0 (20210903 - Build 21627 - WIN64).With this version, appears the Parameter Manager.And I have big problem with it.I often use a type "Choice" or "Choice Multiple" with a list of around 2000 or 3000 values. And sometimes more.With FME 2019 I had no problem to configure it.But with FME 2021, it takes several minutes to open the Parameter Manager, any modification takes a long time and sometimes, it's so long that FME crash.It's very annoying because it worked great and I can't do without these lists.Have you got a solution or a patch for this ?Thank You

Hi All, I have a customer who is scheduling fme.exe from within Microsoft SSMS - because it has good logging functionality. The fme.exe command is taken from a desktop log file on the server machine. If they run the command in a shell it works, and scheduling with Task Scheduler works, but from inside SSMS as the sql_agent account they get 'FME license system failure: License dependency check failed. This FME suite license is dependent on another license which is not available. Program terminating. Transaction failed. Process exit code 2. The step failed. '. Does anyone have an idea what is the issue? SSMS scheduler has only the one user account available to run jobs, but I assume that could be changed. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm trying to map fields to match a SQL table where some need to be Null and others are Not Null. As far as I can see, I've done this correctly in the 2 NullAttributeMapper Transformers (attached screenshots). Basically I need some to be Null, and others to be Not Null. These have been separated in the screenshots below by 2 NullAttributeMappers. I've attached the error as well, as this is proving to be quite tricky. Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to get my head around this: I've been given a png image in a polar stereographic projection, a set of coordinates of its extents in LL84 and this PROJ4 string:+proj=stere +lat_0=90 +lat_ts=60 +lon_0=10 +a=6370040 +b=6370040+no_defs +y_0=3609144.7242655749 +x_0=542962.16692185635And the challenge to georeference the image. Problem is I can't use the RasterGeoreferencer with the extents because in LL84 they don't form a rectangle. Any other pure-FME solutions I can try?

What are FeatureReader/Writer vs Reader/Writer advantages/disadvantages

Hi,I very new to FME and I am trying to get a hold of things. Right now, I just need to make sure I can simply distinguish elements added to the workbench. However, I can't seem to be able to rename everything. This PATH reader for example, properties are greyed out. There is only one for now but I am planning to add many more and I will need to differentiate them. How can I rename them and that is shows up in the workbench? Kind regards,Anne-Marie

Here is another simple-yet-not question: I am working with a large pdf and want to populate pdf_document_info_metadata attribute values for every feature.  I have tried: FeatureMerger, Joiner, Aggregator, AttributeValueMapper, NullAttributeMapper, AttributeManager (trying to use Adjacent Feature) etc. This should not be that hard, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas? Thanks,@lorenrouth​ 

I've got a dynamic workspace I've set up, where a user can specify a SQL query that will be read from an Oracle database, and depending on user-specified input, generate either a shapefile, file geodatabase, or geopackage. I'm testing defining the schema based on a Lookup Table as outlined in this tutorial: https://community.safe.com/s/article/dynamic-workflow-tutorial-destination-schema-is-de-1 In my initial test, everything worked perfectly fine for shapefiles and fgdb's. However, some of the records in my database hold empty values in certain date fields that have been defined as 'fme_date" in the Lookup Table. In the .shp and .fgdb feature classes, these values are simply displayed as <null>. When writing the geopackage th

Hi folks, I'm trying to read a GPKG Layer from a rather extensive Geopackage which I use as an offline data exchange container. Said layer has a total of 228 objects, of which 47 have multipolygon geometry and the rest are tabular data.  The problem: While FME Data Inspector on its own reads the data correctly, the FME Workbench GPKG reader reads all features as type "geopackage_none" and omits geometries completely. I have not found any reader options to resolve this. What can be done do force FME to read all "geopackage_multipolygon" objects correctly? Splitting the data into separate tables is not an option, since I have to use a given data model. Thanks for any helpful advice!

Hi, I'm still fairly new to this tooling ecosystem. I have "inherited" a workbench and have made some changes to it. At some point, one AttributeManager started to appear in the "Incomplete Transformers" section of the Navigator. It's missing the attribute called "subcontractista": What I don't understand is, this attribute is being consumed in the preceding custom transformer as well as in the other branch that leads from it. I mean, in the following image, the green transformer is parametrized by this attribute and in the Tester that is hooked to the output, this attribute is visible under the FME Feature Attributes tab.There is no other Atrr

Helloi'm trying to do basic treatment but it's not working for me. I've looking for this on technical forum but i don't find exactly what i want to do.I have a layer of points (which represents adresses) and a layer of lines (which represents streets).The points are snapped on lines. I want to calculate in a new field for each point adress, his distance to the startpoint of the polyline which it belongs.I try with "PointOnLineOverlayer" combined with MeasureGenerator/MeasureExtractor but i don't reach purpose. Do you have an idea for my problem ?ThanksGui

Hi,  I have an issue when reading from an Oracle database.In my table a field is set to number(10,2) but when read with the Oracle Reader (Non-Spatial or Spatial Object), I get the attribute with the fme_data_type String. However, in the User Attribute tab of the reader parameters, I do see the oracle type numer(width,decimal) / 10 / 2. How come this can be ? Same behavior with the the FeatureReader.I am using FME 2020.2Context is : reading from Oracle DB, reading from Postgres DB and comparing both tables with same attributes with ChangeDetector to syncronize Oracle to Postgres.

Dear users, I have a string attribute stored in a field for >150k point features including addresses, numbers, and sometimes additives. Three examples of addresses:  Maria van Reedestraat 9-BSEduard Künnekehof 1Bucheliusstraat 11-BS What I would like to have, is a new attribute indicating only the street name (= everything before the last space) and a new attribute only having the street number plus additive, which matches everything after the last space.  I have found some tips regarding regular expressions, but I haven't found a way out yet.  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance, Martin

I have got a set of polygons as result of my FME processes which I want to write to DGN and Excel (they carry different attributes like area, the country they are situated in etc.). When writing to DGN, the polygons get an igds_element_id I would like to use to identify the polygons in the Excel document as well, so that an user who opens the DGN and the Excel document is able to connect the polyon in Microstation with the respective row in Excel. Is it possible to control the creation of igds_element_ids before writing to DGN (like it is with fme_text_string -> igds_test_string), or do I have to generate an additional ID (is it possible to pass it to DGN?!) respectively merge the igds_element_ids with a second Workbench to my Excel rows after writing th DGN? I'm a little lost at the moment when it comes to find a solution fot this 😵

I'm trying to load data from an Excel sheet which has spaces in it's name using the Generic Feature Reader. I've got the reader set up to read a dataset based on attribute values (derived from parameters), and to read the feature type directly from a parameter value. The above works perfectly regardless of the dataset name, but I can't get it to work when the 'sheet_name' parameter value contains spaces. I've tried the following;Using an attribute value for 'sheet_name' instead of a parameter value. This doesn't work eitherUsing an Excel reader rather than the Generic one. This doesn't work Any ideas or help much appreciated. In case it's of relevance, I'm using FME Desktop 2021.1.0.1 Matt
