FME Form

Hi all, I’m new to FME and would like to know if there is a way to generate a v5 UUID in FME 2024? From what I have read I can’t see a method for this. Thanks.

We are upgrading from 2019.2.1.0 to 2023.1 ​I have many AGOL feature services with attachments that we read and then write to a local database for archiving.​For example, I have a feature service that has about 50,000 point features. Only 4 of them have attachments (500K jpegs). I have it set to read in batches of 1,000.​In 2019, if I read this feature service with Attachments = Yes, it takes about 1 minute to read everything. If I open the same workspace in 2023 and run it without updating the reader, it times out every time. Sometimes it doesn't even log that it reads the first 1000 before timing out in about 7-10 minutes. Other times it has read for over an hour but still times out. If I disable attachment reading, it reads quickly in 2023.  If I upgrade the reader to 2023, the reading still times out when attachment reading is enabled. The same is true for FME server. On our old 2019 server this workspace runs in about 2 minutes, but it times out every time on 2023. Help, pleas

Prior to Desktop Version 2022. I could read an AGOL service with attachments relatively fast. Now with 2022, it doesn't seem to work at all. I can view the source from the workbench ok, I can read the features in if I disable read attachments. But it doesn't seem to work with read attachments set to Yes any more. The log gets stuck at 'Updating Access Token for..." Updating the token doesn't help either. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

Hi everyone,I’m having some trouble with the XMLQueryExtractor. I need to extract from the xml_fragment field the values inside the <name> and <description> tags.Currently, the output from FeatureJoiner is in the format: Theme | ID | xml_fragment What I need is for the extraction to produce the following table: Theme | ID | xml_fragment | name | description

I feel like I must be missing something obvious but so far have not been able to resolve.  I have published a Web Layer from Arc Pro to our organizational AGOL account.  This Web Layer feature service contains three sub-layers.  I’d like to update only one of the sub layers using FME.  This works fine if I publish each layer as its own service, but if published as a single service with multiple sub-layers, I can’t figure out how to target only a single sub-layer. Publishing these as a single multi-layer service has the advantage of keeping them ordered together on AGOL.When I open FeatureWriter to set parameters, I can select the overall feature service, but not an individual sub-layer.  I suppose I can run it without specifically identifying which of the sub layers I am targeting but am a little hesitant as I’m not sure how it would know which of the sub-layers I’m attempting to update.  Here is screen shot of my FeatureWriter interface below.  Road Rock is the feature service contain

i am trying separate stacked point data in to individual points, can suggest in FME or ArcMap 

Hi all I have a list like somelist{0}.val = 'apple'somelist{1}.val = 'donut'somelist{2}.val = 'aardvark'somelist{3}.val = 'apple'somelist{4}.val = 'aardvark'somelist{5}.val = 'apple'  the list histogrammer transforms it into _histogram{0}.value = 'apple'_histogram{0}.count = 3_histogram{1}.value = 'aardvark'_histogram{1}.count = 2_histogram{2}.value = 'donut'_histogram{2}.count = 1  now I want this information as attribute pairs like attribute_name    attribute_valueapple                   3aardvark              2donut                   1 any Ideas how to do this in FME without fancy scripting or looping are much appreciated! 

I’m using FeatureWriter to write data using dynamic schemas to multiple worksheets of an Excel file. In the particular case where I detected the issue, the data meant for the last worksheet contain just one row and value in just one of the columns. This value is ‘No’.As you can see, the native_data_type of the respective schema attribute for this value is ‘string’.In the result excel file, however, the ‘No’ value is changed to FALSE. I can’t figure out why this happens.The Writer writes other ‘No’ values to other worksheets and all of them appear to written correctly as ‘No’. This is the FeatureWriter setup:   Have I made a mistake somewhere, or is it a bug in the Excel Writer?

Dear FME Community,I’m using a dynamic writer in my workspace and have run into an issue with newly added attributes.In my workflow, I added a transformer to perform an analysis and wrote the result to a new attribute field. However, this new attribute is not appearing in the output file.I understand that the dynamic writer uses the schema from the reader, and since this new attribute doesn’t exist in the original schema, it seems to be excluded from the final result.How can I ensure that this new attribute is included in the output when using a dynamic writer?Is there a recommended way to update or override the schema dynamically?Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear FME Community,I’m trying to cut lines with segment delimited by start and end point and all works with my method and with the transformer Snipper, but it doesn’t works with line who have auto intersection like a loop.With a “normal” line I’ve this result :But with a line who have a loop I’ve this result :The result should be this :I know how to isolate lines with loop but I don’t know how can I treat them.Can you help me ?

Hi,So I have a DGN. I am reading it in (not exploding cells so its just one point) and then changing its coordinate systems. I want to then reexport a dgn. The problem is if I want the cells to show up in the output DGN I need a cell library. Is there a way that I can just use the definitions of the cells in the original file (without having to make a cell library every time out of it) when I write it? Like you can with the DWG writer. They are exactly what I want.I know this question has been asked before, but that was 10 years ago and there was a few changes to the writer a few years ago.At the moment I am limited to what is in version 2023.1Thanks

I need to run a mapinfo data converter to convert tab file to map info bin. Wondering how to configure SystemCaller to run MapInfoDataconverter.exeI’m using version 2025.1 of FME. MapInfoDataConverter is an executable specifically aiming at RouteFinder / Drivetime BIN routing files, which is different from normal TAB export when using FME to write standard MapInfo TAB/BIN files (NativeX format).

Hi,I have a point cloud with colour values. Eg the first image. I would like to make an RGB raster of this at a specified ground size (0.5m2).However, whenever I try to do this with the image rasteriser I get nodata pixels everywhere. This is because only about half of my data has a higher density than 0.5m2. Eg the second image.So what I would like to do is either replace nodata values with an interpolated value (say the nearest colour, or bilinear) or make it correctly in the first place, at my desired size, so that there are no nodata values at all. As in its one continuous rasterDoes anyone know how to do this? I haven’t successfully been able to work it out.I should note that I want the input to be the point cloud as I don’t want to coerce it into points for efficiency. I can definitely do it that way, its just computationally expensive.I will also say I only have 10 distinct colours (Each representing the height difference between the pointcloud and a DEM). If I could turn spatia

Hi,I need help how to use Fanout and not sure if this is a bug or not.  Using Workbench 2024.1.1 Using DWG as a reader and then change the parameter to Geometry and selected lines. Add the AttributeFilter to import the feature cache type Add the data as a writer to write new feature name.  Am I doing something wrong or need some tweak work ?

Hello!Has anyone successfully used the ArcGISBranchVersionManager transformer to automate reconcile and post operations for branch versioned layers? I created the web connection to our enterprise portal and tested it as specified in this article and even connected to my version, so I know the web connection works but when I configure the ArcGISBranchVersionManager transformer to use the same feature layer with my version I get a rejected feature with this message: “`fme_rejection_message' has value `stopEditing failed for session {xxxxxxxxxxx}: The ArcGIS REST API returned an error: HTTP Error Code:  : 'The workspace is not being edited.' Message Code . Further details: '[]''”.  It seems like maybe I’m not configuring the workspace correctly but I don’t see any option to  start an edit session.  Below is the screenshot of my workspace. I am at FME(R) 2024.2.2.0 (20250114 - Build 24820 - WIN64) .Thanks! 

Hi Community!Is there anyone who has experience regarding interaction/integration possibilities of FME with Microsoft Copilot? Maybe in connection with image recognition tasks?Thanks in advance!Cheers,Christoph

Hello,FME workbench has a strong tendency to take longer and longer to perform editing tasks (NOT translation) the bigger the workspace gets.Disclaimer: My workspace contains over 2100 transformers and I am aware that editing transformer links upstream will cause FME to recalculate downstream. However, my frustration is due to the fact that even minor modifications to very small independent workflows in the workspace seem to trigger the same recalculation as the workbench becomes unresponsive for 5-15 seconds every time I do something. This even happens when i move a transformer without altering any workspace logic. It even happens when I move an unconnected transformer! Extremely debilitating to productivity.Is this a known issue / any optimization planned?Using FME Workbench on Windows x64 2016.1. Confirmed on multiple PCs.

Hello.So we have a FME Flow set up on a Microsoft Azure machine that is causing some problems for our Spanish and German colleagues. More specifically that when their data (mainly KML’s) that contains one of their local language characters is being sent through our Flow tools then the process fails due to “invalid byte ‘local character’ at position 1 of a 6-byte sequence’.Due to the fact that our users are using diverse data formats then most of our Flow apps use generic readers where they select the format of their input data in a published parameter dropdown that is then feed into the “Input format” of the reader. We are not allowing the feature reader to figure it out itself due to limitations of GeoJson’s and GML’s.So far I cant see that you can change the character encoding parameters in the Generic reader like you can in specific readers, such as the shapefile one (correct me if I am wrong). So I have instead tried to change the Regional settings of the server machine to Latin (b

When running an old script in FME 2024.1.1.0 we get 58 errors “The object at location ___ was previously deleted and cannot be retrieved from the Object Stash” (see attached log file).  It doesn’t appear to affect the output, the log file says “Translation was SUCCESSFUL” and CPU and Memory usage don’t get close to 100%.  Can we ignore these errors?This is part of a much larger script but only this part is producing the errors. We updated the transformers and saved the script to FME 2024 but still get the errors at the transformer FeatureJoiner_13.  The only way to not get the errors is to run the script up to the 2 preceding transformers (“Run to this”) and then run FeatureJoiner_13.  The output appears to be the same as when we were getting the errors.  We tried adding in FeatureHolders before FeatureJoiner_13 but still got the errors. ByeDoug

Hi,Newbie type question. I am currently loading in files to a output on a weekly basis. Issue has been I have to edit the file in the workbench with the new filename. The file I upload changes on a daily basis with its name. How can FME pick up the latest file that has been updated without having to change the file path on a daily basis?I have tried to use this https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/65203/read-only-the-newest-file-from-a-directory.html method but unfortunately I am not getting it to work. I also do not need to generate any further data to my existing table, just was interested in the function where it can automatically pick up the latest file at folder level by date modified. Thank You

I need to send three files to an API. When I do it directly via the API, I have no issues—the files are sent and I receive status code 200. However, when I try to send them through FME, I can’t get it to work. Am I making some configuration mistake in FME?

Referring to this (closed) post: https://community.safe.com/ideas/httpcaller-to-specify-client-certificates-31782​@LizAtSafe mentioned that the feature is released. I can find it nowhere in the documentation. Could someone point me to the right direction on how to authenticate at an API,using a certificate?

What transformer could be used to identify if a townland border which is lines, is supported by an underlying line feature and any areas that are supported to be extracted.

I have a set of feature classes inside a File Geodatabase, which I read using the "Single Merged Feature Type" option in FME. After reading, I perform some analysis on the data.At the end of my workflow, I want to write the results to a new File Geodatabase. I'm using a Dynamic Esri Geodatabase Writer because I want to write each input feature class as a separate output feature class, keeping the original names — but with a _buffer suffix added to each.🔹 Goal: If the original feature class was Rivers, I want the output to be Rivers_buffer.🔹 What I've Tried: I used an AttributeManager to set:fme_feature_type = @Value(fme_feature_type)_bufferI also tried setting:fme_schema_feature_type = @Value(fme_feature_type) (before overwriting it)But I keep getting this error:Esri Geodatabase Writer: Feature Type Definition 'Rivers_buffer' was requested, but not defined.🔹 Additional Info: The writer is fully dynamic.I believe the error is because I'm using "Single Merged Feature Type", so the ori
