FME Form

I need to check the encoding of several files. For this I can use a scripted parameter like so: featureType =open('F:\\PGV\\Projektarbejdsmapper\\P4\\SCSV_til_kontrol\\scsv_2021e1_2021e3\\\\2021e1_lev_k_fortidsminde.scsv')t = str(featureType)return t With a Creator and a ParameterFetcher i get the following attribute:<_io.TextIOWrapper name='F:\\\\PGV\\\\Projektarbejdsmapper\\\\P4\\\\SCSV_til_kontrol\\\\scsv_2021e1_2021e3\\\\2021e1_lev_k_fortidsminde.scsv' mode='r' encoding='cp1252'> When I try to do this with a useparameter like so: file = FME_MacroValues['SCSV_file']featureType =open(file)t = str(featureType)return t This returns the following log:Starting translation...INFORM: Using Python interpreter from `C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmepython38\\python38.dll' with PYTHONHOME `C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fm

Hi authors.FME workspaces are stored in a specific and well-known structure on an FME Server. So finding the path of another workspace is feasiable.I'm wondering whether I can use WorkspaceRunner to submit other workspaces on an FME Server instead of FMEServerJobSubmitter ?Is this completely no-go, or are there benefits, such as running more workspaces within a single job ?It would also simplify building and debugging on desktop.Any insights are appreciated.Cheers

Hi.When you have a workspace with a published parameter of type text, and it has a default (e.g. testing) value, this gets used whenever the value isn't specified in JobSubmitter/WorspaceRunner.If I submit a blank text as a parameter value, this seems to be ignored, and the default value is used instead.Is this WAD ?If I want to overrule a default parameter value with a blank value, how is this achieved ? Cheers

Hi! I want to put points on lines with an interval of x (for example 100m) meters. I tried several ways to do that. (I beggin with FME). 1) I used the lenghtCalculator, then calculate how many points I can put in the line for 100m interval @int(@Value(_length)/100) , add a counter, copy the points distance attribute and get number of copy linked with the "cloner",copy the number of each lines*100, calculate at what lenght put the point @int(@Value(_length)-@Value(_copy)) AND snipper ! The problem with that solution is the "cloner", I have a VERY big database and it's make too much geometry... Is there a way to do it without touching or adding the geometry? Or maybe with a formula, ... python caller ?  2) I tried other ways too, like the chopper and the vertex, but it's not a strict interval of 100meters like this. 3) I also tried the method with measure generator, linedivider and

Hi everyone,I wonder if there is any way to force the SurfaceFootprintReplacer to not ignore holes in polygons?I have 3D cityGML data and want to get only the footprint, using the SurfaceFootprintReplacer the result is image Nr.2, all holes are gone and merged to one polygon. There is a custom converter called "GroundSurfaceExtractor" (I found somewhere in the web), what does it correct but this one takes around 10 times longer to calculate. Any hints?(btw: the cityGML does not include "ground_surface" elements to query for, I tried this one...)Thanks a lot!Building Polygon in 2D:SurfaceFootprintReplacer Result:

Hey all,I am using the ArcGIS Portal Feature Writer and when I push my edits to a feature service, it overwrites the editor tacking fields (eg. createdby, createddate, modifiedby, lastmodifieddate) with my username and today's date and time of upload, instead of values I have prepopulated. The table sits in a postgres database and I have turned editor tracking off against that table. Is it possible to push data using the FME writer without those values getting automatically populated?

Hello,An enterprise geodatabase reader interprets a value in a date field as: 20130426000000A file geodatabase reader interprets the same date value as: 20130426This is a problem when comparing date values in ChangeDetector, as they are always noted as an update, even though they are essentially the same value.Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the 2 dates comparable?

Hi there, I'm using the UpdateDetector transformer and it's detecting changes with lat/long fields where numerically there's no difference. This is because in one reader (the CVS reader) these two fields have trailing zeros, while in the other reader (an oracle table) they do not. What's the best way to resolve this?

RegEx, FontEncoder and StringReplacer experts, please help! I want to replace regular text characters in a text string attribute with entirely different unicode characters, and be able to use them as geographical labels.For instance, let's say that I want to convert the character "A" (unicode U+0041) in my text attribute, to the Roman numeral "I" (unicode U+2160), and label my map with that.  Some other characters should use other conversion codes - maybe using a lookup table. Is it possible?

I am working on creating a geodatabase made up of multiple types of proformas, a total of 67 different proformas. The proformas contact collected survey data of differing species and spatial data.

Good Morning:We are trying to transform autocade dwg files to GeoTIFF. The log indicates that the 17,000 features are read except for the raster feature. Thus it fails when we try to write during the conversion.I've attached the read log and the failure to read the raster

Does FME support ESRI Representation when mapping data between two file geodatabases? If so how do you go about setting this up?  Thank you, Sam

Hi, I am trying to IMPORT an EXISTING relationship feature class and FME complains about the name being too long....I cannot rename the Relationship feature class since it is a part of an existing data model. The table/feature class name 'WaterstaatswerkWaterkering_Waterkering' is too long for Oracle (!!??) to accept. Please shorten the name and try again I think this is a FME limitation that should apply if you are going to CREATE the table, but should not apply if the table/relationship feature class already exists! Anybody any thoughts/ ideas on how to go about this?

I have a .dgn model that I am converting to a tileset but some of the input is just lines that I should 'fill' (see image attached). My initial though process was:Create areas from them, with the config from the imagesThen pass it through a MesbuilderBut what I'm getting from the AreaBuilder and the Meshbuilder is off (images attached)I am not su

When using PointOnPointOverlayer (POPO), after FME 2018, I experience performance issues. With FME 2018.1.2.0 (20190225 - Build 18590 - WIN64) I could use the POPO with 600,000 records and this portion of the job use to run in 30+ minutes. Now with FME 2020.2.1.0 (20201130 - Build 20806 - WIN64) it takes 7+ hours. I also tested briefly with FME 2021.1.3 (Build 21631 - win64) but saw no significant improvement. What options are available for removing this additional 6.5 hours of processing time? Similar issue to this article from 2017. Thank you in advance for your time :) Julia Highlights from the logfile:2021-10-21 14:11:59|  0.4| 0.4|INFORM|FME 2020.2.1.

I am trying to use DatabaseUpdater but it appears not to work with a versioned SDE Table. Is there a work-a-round?

Hi. I was trying to figure out a way to rename all the fields of my output shape using a PythonCaller. I used the "BulkAttributeRenamer" to rename the fields, but just using a single parameter as: prefix, sufix, lowercase, uppercase etc and it's not enough. When I tried to use PythonCaller, I could change only the attributes itself, but not their field's name (I used the function setAttribute(name, new_value))Is there a python function that can set the AttributteName ?

I get an error when I use the WMS reader. I add the the URL as: "https://wms.abc/ServicesWhen /abc.Proxy/wmsserver.ashx?password=yyy&username=xxx" That works, as I can see the layers from which I chose the one I want to load in. I dont select any "Network Authentication" option. I leave the Map options as get filled out from WMSs metadata. After pressing OK, the reader is successfully shown on my canvas.  When i want to run this reader, without having it connected to anything, it stops with a fatal error. I can see it made a WMS URL, where the username and password are used at the start and also end of the URL. That is also failing if I place it in a browser. But just by removing the closing un/pw, it all works in the browser.  Does anyone know what induces this double credential issue?  

I’m trying to define a transformation process between Intergraph GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse (Reader) and Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb API) (Writer) using FME Workbench 2015. I have defined a schema file in a spreadsheet that is added in the Workspace Resources (Schema - From Table) to be used as Schema Source for my writer. The features that I am reading are coming with geometries like: `fme_geometry' has value `fme_aggregate' and `fme_type' has value `fme_point' OR `fme_geometry' has value `fme_point' and `fme_type' has value `fme_point'. Basicly this means that my source contains multipoint features and single point features. In my schema file I have defined the Geometry Type Value as fme_point. When the process tries to write the multipoint feature it fails with the message: Failed to write Geometry to feature class … with geometry type 'esriGeometryPoint'. The process works if I manually set the geometry output to geodb_multipoi

How can I convert raster boundary to polygon? Raster Domain is equivalent tool in ArcGIS / Pro.

Can FME desktop call Open API data after receiving coordinate information from a file? Basically the client will supply a lat/long from CSV file and then we want use those coordinates to get data from our API source. Request format: https://<apiURL>/data/lat={lat}&lon={lon}&exclude={part}&appid=[API KEY]

Currently, I'm seeing all files uploaded as 'application/octet-stream'. Not that this is a terrible failure, but I'm trying to respond to uploads in the bucket with cloud functions that will follow the content-type as best as possible to determine subsequent actions.  I'll use file extensions for now.

Does FME support writing to Citrix Sharefile?

Weirdest behavior, I have a 'pipeline' with a set of transformers that do the job by themselves without parameters, let's call this the 'prototype' pipeline.I can copy this prototype pipeline into any workflow, it will work just fine, until I remove this pipelines starter and it starts behaving different.This prototype pipeline has a snakegrid transformer at the end, with the starter behind the pipeline I get the output, if this prototype is connected to another pipeline the attributes arrive to the snakegrid transformer but they don't go further from there. This seems to me like a bug because the prototype pipeline has no variables in it, everything is hardcoded and is working by itself so connecting it at the end of something else shouldnt be the problem, but it is. Any advice?
