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 python software installed - everything is installed via either FME or ArcGIS. Another colleague has experie

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 using. However, I'm don't want to report on valid intersects where mains are connected to each other. I've have some difficulty trying

I can't create the exact footprint through RasterExtentsCoercer, even i have set the Extents Type as 'Data Extents'. The transformer only allow me to generate a rectangle that covers the entire extents.My aerial imagery is in RGBA, possible the alpha band caused this issue. Is there a way to create the exact footprint?PS: i have attached a sample image.Thanks and Regards,Jian

HiI have a LAS (LIAR) file and I want to convert it to GLTF. FME can help me with the task? Does the trial version work for me? 

Hello everyone, So I would like to generate a HTML report by using "HTML Report Generator".For the final product, I would like to generate the report with the "current time" on the HTML page. This is what I write in the text editor:   KE Indoor run on @DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(local),ISO) The output is:   KE Indoor run on 2022-01-18T16:58:52.1754106+08:00 However, this is what I want for the result:   KE Indoor run on 2022-01-18 16:58:52 May I ask how can I fix the problem? Thank you in advance.

How to back-up FME Server content. I can find articles on "configuration" backup - but how about content?

Hello,  I have an issue with generalising contours inside a tiling system. All contours need to match at tile edges, hence a surface tolerance of 0 is required. When this happens, vertices are added in what seems to be every 0.1m. Therefore i need to generalise.  The standard generalizer causes overlaps between different elevations, so the only option is sherbendgeneraliser but it takes an age with the amount of vertices. I have tried adding a generaliser with 0.1 tolerance before the sherbend generaliser but this also causes overlaps. I want vertices roughly every 5m or so in the output. Question:How do i fix these generalised overlaps?is there a quicker way to speed up sherbendgeneraliser?

I consider to replace my Http callers by the Asynch Http caller.  I am curious whether other users have experience with this Asynch HTTP Caller. This is related to this idea which is worked out in a transformer.  Because the test suite states 'failed', I doubt whether I can use this transformer safely. Anyone experience with this transformer?  

I need to truncate the existing table and append data. I have two tables one from versioned sde and the second table is in FGDB. I need to delete rows from the table in sde and append data from FGDB. I have to do field mapping after appending data from FGDB. I am not sure what would be the workaround to accomplish this task. Please suggest any workaround.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to write nested attribute structure to a GEOJSON file. For that reason I've prepared some sample data for a Quick Translation to see how FME would set up the writer feature type properly. But surprisingly, my nested structure is lost during that translation! So in fact my test endet up in two questions instead of delivering a solution:1.) Why does the Quick Translation fail2.) How do I set up the GEOJSON Writer properly to build the desired nested structure.2.1) In case JSONTemplater is the solution to this task, how do I have to set it up properly? I spent some time playing around but never came up with some suiteable result, especially for proper GEOJSON (geometry handling, type defintion and so on). Find attached my sample file. Looking forward to any suggestions (and maybe solutions 😁 )

Hi, I am having problems with converting a TIN surface to a raster with height information. The input data is a LandXML which contains a surface of type IFMECompositeSurface. Right now I feed the surface into the RasterDEM generator with the following settings: The coordinate system is EPSG:28992 so the surface tolerance is set to 1cm, however the results are quite jagged:To give you a sense of scale, the image above is for an area of around 1300 meters wide so the the jagged points seen above are sometimes a 100 meters wide. To check my results I decided to convert the result to a pointcloud so I could take a look and compare it with the original surface in the 3D view in FME Inspector. In the image below you can see that the pointcloud that was created from the raster actually dives beneath the original surface:Does anybody have an idea what could cause these problems? I a doubting whether the RasterDEMGenerator is the right transformer for this job. I already have a workaround whe

Hello! I would like to filter strings which have two or more capital letters consecutively. I suppose it can be done with regular expressions but still didn't find the right expression...

Hi,  I am getting the following error from FME Server: The custom transformer'DateTime_Standard' referenced by this workspace was found, but could not be loaded. The custom transformer was created with a newer version of FMEWorkbench I have a workbench uploaded to FME server which contains 3 custom transformers. Each custom transformer presents the same error when I run the workbench. Both the workbench and the 3 custom transformers are in the same repository when the workbench is ran. The FME desktop version for both the workbench and all 3 custom transformers is:FME(R) 2021.1.2.0 (20210903 - Build 21627 - WIN64)  The FME server build is: FME Server 2021.1.1 Build 21619 - win64   I assume to fix the error, I need to match FME desktops build to FME server so Ihave attempted to source FME desktop Build 21619. However that is not available on the safe software download page: https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions I would prefer to avoid upgrading FME Server at this

The application itself is closed. And when I restart the application, a new fmeworkbench.exe process is started. This happens when I haven't done anything in the application yet. Didn't run a workspace or created one.  I also tested it with the simplest workspace I could think of: a Creator with an Inspector. In that case the process fmedatainspector.exe is started. That process also never closes.  I use FME Desktop version 2021.1 as part of ArcGIS Pro on a Windows 2016 VMWare machine. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this behavior?

Hi there, I am looking for a transformer or a solution that allows me to check if any attribute of a feature has a specific value (e.g. string "remove"). Only then I want to remove the attribute. Renaming would work as well. Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to calculate the percentage of nodata cells within a raster by using the point cloud combiner + point cloud splitter in fme to extract the value of cells with data vs cells with nodata, and get a ratio.  It's clearly not the right approach as it is taking forever. Is there a better way to do this?  Usually it would be fore raster tiles with 1,000,000 cells. Counting the nbr of nodata cells in each file basically  

I understand that it is in Beta, but I couldn't find a release schedule or a post of the anticipated date. Our cybersecurity team is requiring us to upgrade software very soon after official release so we are trying to anticipate when that might be.Thanks!

Hi there,  I came up with a problem within one of my data translations within FME concerning arc objects. The routine is about converting a geopackage file into a filegeodatabase. The included objects and their geometry are not manipulated inbetween. Arc objects within the geopackage-file are defined as geometry type "Arc by three points". The arc objects within the geopackage-file have all been constructed by 3 points (end, middle and startpoint). This logically means, that the arc line is intersecting with those three points.  After converting this geometry to a file geodatabase, the arc geometry has changed and is within a tolerance of the arc middle point. When checking the geometry info of the same arc within the file geodatabase, it states that tie IFMEArc is "Arc By Center Point With Ends) - but, most important, the geometry has changed!   Why does FME not convert the arc geometry in the exact way into the file geodatabase? Is there any way to change the IFME Type

Hello , I have a feature geometry with two parts (IFMEMultiArea with two IFMEPolygons). Using PythonCaller transformation, I want process line segments in various parts of the geometry.Is there an API for getting the coordinates of any part of geometry?I am able to get the part count as follows: partsCount = feature.numParts(True,True) I can get the parts as follows: areaPart = feature.getGeometry().getPartAt(0) But I could not find a suitable API for getting coordinates of a particular part in the API documentation. Thanks in advance. Regards,Byju  

Add color to Point Cloud, hello dear community, i have a point cloud in a .xyz format, only with coordinates. I would like to add sth. like a color or a height ramp, which depends on the height of each value and gives each point an unique RGB value.
