FME Form

Hi,I am trying to complete this trail where it is requested to connect to a FME Server in order to upload the workspace. To try that I started a VM on stringo. But I dont know which FME Server Parameters I have to enter now to connect. Also I would like to access the web interface of the server in the VM but I didnt manage to login, maybe you can tell which login credentials are neccessary?Cheers,Merlin

Hi, I have a postgresql database I am writing to it has the following fields:    changedetect_date timestamp without time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),    changedetect_uuid character varying(36) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),    pk_index integer NOT NULL GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY ( INCREMENT 1 START 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 2147483647 CACHE 1 ), All these fields do not need to be inserted into by FME but FME is trying to insert NULL's into them even through the fields are not explicitly set in my feature writer (set to automatic and does not have these fields). When it inserts postgres gives an error 'ERROR: null value in column "pk_index" violates not-null constraint DETAIL: Failing row contains (...'POSTGIS writer: A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsSuccessfully closed POSTGIS database writer=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- What can I do to get around this? I tried using ma

I have two arcgis online feature layers (jobsites and trees) that are in a 1:M relationship. On the trees reader, I've set where clause as "EditDate" >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() - 7. The resulting features in this reader have the globalid attribute found in the jobsites layer. I would like to read just jobsites with globalids found in the trees reader. How do I create a dynamic where clause for the jobsites useing a unique list of globalids from the trees layer? So far I've used Listbuilder, DuplicateFilter, ListConcatenator, and StringReplacer to get a list of unique globalid's - '{28F268A5-7390-4FFC-9EF6-C522D1237ECE}','{28F268A5-7390-4FFC-9EF6-C522D1237ECE}','{28F268A5-7390-4FFC-9EF6-C522D1237ECE}','{28F268A5-7390-4FFC-9EF6-C522D1237ECE}','{28F268A5-7390-4FFC-9EF6-C522D1237ECE}','{28F268A5-7390-4FFC-9EF6-C522D1237ECE}' The first issue is how do I make the string say the following:GlobalID IN ('{28F268A5-7390-4FF

Is it possible to resample a raster so the values left are one of the existing band values? If I use the raster re-sampler with the average 16 interpolation type, I get an average of the 16 cells but what I need is the value that occurs the most in these 16 cells.

I am unsure as to why I'm not able to connect to NetSuite via the ODBC connector in FME. I have Windows 10 (64 bit), FME Desktop (2019.2 b 19801 64bit) with the ODBC (64bit) driver installed. I have verified that the connection works in ODBC Source Administrator and also in Excel.  The error I receive in FME is: Error connecting to databaseDatabase Generated Error Information:Database Error Message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specifiedDatabase SQL Statement Text:SQL State: IM002Variable Information:ODBC 3.x Reader: Failed to connect to databaseI have verified the data source name matches with the username and password in the reader parameters, but I am unable to connect. Any ideas as to what I could do to get it to connect? 

I've just finished the Academy Exercise: Improving Workspace Style. In the tutorial, the supplied workbench included a Creator transformer that fed into a FeatureReader which references a geopackage   Why is Creator used in this context? Why is this pattern used instead of using a GeoPackage Reader? I've read the doc page on Creator and searched for blogs but I haven't yet found anything that explains why Creators are used generally, or in a scenario like above specifically.  Is there a link to some good explanatory documentation or training? Thanks

I am tyring to insert into a PostgreSQL table where i have a primary key defined as serial (auto increment).   I want the database to increment this field and not have to supply the value from FME.  FME keeps failing due to the Null constraint on the field.   I have tried suppling 'DEFAULT' and 'NEXTVALUE('Seq_name'") as a string to attempt to fake it however both complain that an integer is expected and not text.    I am using FME 2011.  Any suggestions?

I have a jp2 and jpw file. Reading the jp2 results in the data inspector showing the resulting data in the wrong location. How can I fix the location? I've tried setting the coordinate system on the reader but that doesn't fix it. I know the j2w file holds information about the location of the jp2 but I don't know how to read it along with the jp2. I know I'm likely missing something simple so I appreciate the help.

Hi folks, I started using the Tygron API, which I used to extract building information for a specific location/site. However, when I request the building information, the response body is a JSON Array with JSON Objects of which only approximately 1/3 of the JSON Objects are actually about buildings. To determine if a JSON Object is about a building, I'm checking if it contains a "BAG_ID" attribute. Below is some a sample_json Array that illustrates the data structure I'm working with:[ { "id": 1, "name": null, "attributes": { "type": "Bridge" } }, { "id": 2, "name": "just a shed", "attributes": { "type": "Shed" } }, { "id": 3, "name": "just a house", "attributes": { "type": "Building", "BAG_ID": 1.5010000000035E14 } }]In the real world data, the JSON Array contains a lot more features and data.  Initially I queried out the JSON Objects on buildings using the following steps;JSONFragmenter (create features for individual JSON Objects),JSONExtractor (Extract BAG_ID at

I've created a workflow to update, delete, and insert new records to an hosted feature service. The delete and update have been throwing log errors like:ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: 'updateResults' error for a feature in 'Job_Line'. The error code from the server was '1019' and the message was: 'The specified feature could not be updated or does not exist.' In the reader, I'm making sure to include arcgisonline_globalid and arcgisonline_objectid in the format attributes window. These appear in the Joined output for the FeatureJoiner (for updates) and the the Deleted output of ChangeDetector (for deletes). I'm really scratching my head as to how to the OBJECTID's can be incorrect in the writer when the reader is the same online source. The parameters for the Writer have Use GlobalID = No and Preserve GlobalIDs=No.For the layer, parameters are set to Writer Mode = Update (dont think this matters with fme_db_operations) and Trunca

I want to calculate distance from aspect and slope on a raster. Both raster have same resolution. Could someone help on this? I am novice on raster dataset in FME. Thank you in advance.

When dealing with JSON data, I sometimes like to use the JSONiq XQuery extension to manipulate JSON data a bit more directly. For example to be able to directly query for only relevant data (see e.g. this question), or directly setting list attributes for portions JSON without the overhead of fragmenting/flattening the entire JSON structure (see e.g. this question). I've been quite happy with the flexibility that the JSONiq XQuery extension seems to bring me, but as I'm using an XMLXQueryExtractor for this, this seems like a bit of a hack, and thus it might be that JSNOiq is not officially/fully supported. For example, I also came across the situation where I wanted to check if a JSON value was equal to null or not. At first I had a look at the JSONiq specification page. There in the Revision History (at the end), I found this line below Revision 1-1;Removed the function jn:is-null() because it is redundant with the "eq" and "instance of" operators which sup

Hello all,It's Wednesday, so it's obviously time for the latest FME news. This time I'm dividing it into what my colleagues at Safe have been working on, what you beautiful people have been working on, and what I've been working on. Our Week in Webinars, Blogs, and Customer StoriesWhat have our marketing and support teams been up to at Safe this week? Here's a quick review: Blog: The Difference Between Geocoding and GeoreferencingBlog: Coordinate Systems and Earth MovementsWebinar: Coordinate Systems in FME 101User Story: Visimind and the Polish Power GridThis story links to a partner's blog on the project and is - I think - worth a read, especially if you work in utilities.  Tutorial: A major update to the KML Transformations Tutorial  I believe I wrote a lot of this tutorial (as part of a training module) was back in the early 2010s, so this was due an update!  It's important to know that KML is not just a data format but stores all sorts of formatting and

Hello, I have the following dataset (See picture "Before"):- one layer of lines. Each of the 10 lines belongs to a group (a,b, c etc.) which is saved as an attribute. the first and last vertex of a line is highlighted in black.- one layer of points. Displayed in blue on picture.I would like to aggregate all lines that belong to the same group to one line except if there are intersected by a blue point. So all lines of the same group shall be merged into one till they are intersected by the point layer. My final result shall look like "After" attachment which means 7 lines in total. Thank you for your help.

FME Desktop 2020: How to concatenate based on a particular field when working with “AreaOnAreaOvelay” tool? When performing the “AreaOnAreaOvelay” tool, I wanted to create a field at which the values of the “autocad_color” field are concatenated as per the screenshot below. How this can be accomplished?           

Hello,I am using Aggregator with FME 2018.I restricted my data to only one feature. So literally there no aggregation but the transformer is taking 10 min to proceed.Is this normal? Is there a way to optimise it?

FME Desktop 2020: How to filter all features that are “not equal to” a particular value,  For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to filter all polygons that autocad color doesn’t equal to 10. How this can be performed in FME?      

Hi. I need to convert V7 dgn file to work in V8 Microstation. I don't know how to do it. Im new to the FME. If someone could give me instructions on what buttons to push? :D

I have created one text attribute using the AttributeCreator transformer and by default, its length is 50, there is no option to change this length in FME. This attribute is created for the feature class to save filename which is over 50 characters.

I receive an empty shapefile from our client and if I don't add any features, have to rename it.Since FME is feature based it won't write to a new shapefile if empty. The shapefile can also not contain a null feature so the NoFeatureTester or a null Creator is not an option.I'm currently on FME version 2019.2.1 How can I write empty shapefiles?

Hi! I'm trying to get the effing per-cell formatting to work in Excel but I'm not succeeding. My excel output doesn't come out with a yellow background. Please check my screen dumps and help me figure out why!

Is it possible in FME Server to run a workspace with workspacerunner that starts a workbench on another server in fme desktop? (and uses that license)

While converting Ecw the following error will appear ECW writer: The ECWJP2 SDK only has 200.0 MB of memory allocated to it and this is not enough to compress this dataset. Please set the SDK's memory limit above 304.7 MB

I am setting up a brand new installation of FME Server 2021.2.0.1 and I can't authorize any ArcGIS Online connections. It gives FME Server OAuth Service Failed. It doesn't matter which user I try to authenticate. This works in my other 2019.1 server, so I know these connections should work.
