FME Form

I work for a deck building company that consistently needs to find lot boundary markers, but due to lack of information sometimes we are unable to identify where the boundaries of a lot are. We are exploring and trying to find ways that we could easily find the part of the lot that is the physical boundary marker of the property. Assuming we are able to find longitude/latitude coordinates, we are looking for software that could allow us to enter that information in a smartphone in order to be guided to that point on a map on smartphone. Thanks for any input you may give!

Hi, I haven't used FME in quite a while due to the flu outbreak. I have FME 2017.1 and have found that it will no longer reach in to my SDE due to the Legacy deprecation from ESRI. Are there any transformers I can use in 2017 that I can use?

Hello FME community, I have a long number (see the picture). I want only up to 3 decimal places to be displayed. Thanks in advance for your help 

I would like to know if FME has a reader and writer that directly read and write data back to the ArcSDE database.

Hello, I have a large workspace and there will be more developers that will develop it.I was wondering if we can use Git from inside the workbench. A visual diff that would identify changes in nodes and their properties, like e.g. Node-RED does, would be extremely useful.We already have the project in Git and treat it like a binary file.

I was following this example to write/update the metadata from SDE.https://community.safe.com/s/article/working-with-geodatabase-metadata-writing-to-xml READER features: from SDEREADER metadata: from SDE WRITER: GENERIC (4 options: SHP, FGDB, DWG, KML) I was able to write both spatial features and their metadata to FGDB (using ArcGIS Catalog to view both features and metadata).But when I picked the output as Shapefile, the features were written out with a boundary (for lines, but not for points). E.g. I have a point file with 722 features it will be written as 722 features. If I write a line file with 1000 features then I will end up having 1001 because there is a boundary linework written as one of the spatial features.Also, the metadata wasn't included in the shapefiles (using ArcGIS Catalog to view).  I try to narrow down the output by having a Shapefile writer only but the same problem persists. Anyone can shed me some light on this issue? Thanks. 

Hi all.I'm trying to expand an existing workflow, that outputs Shapes and TABs (and FFSs) just fine with an option to output GeoPackages as well. This does not go well.I'm using dynamic schemas, and merges the relevant schema information onto each feature. Then I use FeatureWriter with "Schema from schema feature" to output the data to a file, to be attached to an email. I normally use ZIP, but in this case I just want to use GPKG.The first problem is, that the writer ignores the request for dynamic schema, and attempts to output any and all exposed attributes.The second problem is that each attributes gets the data type TEXT(200).Is there a trick to have FeatureWriter outputting a Geopackage with dynamic schema ?Cheers.

Hello,i tried to read a mesh model in the format .osgb, but it doesnt work.The osgb-files are made with the SURE Software.As information it says "OSG Reader: Ignoring unsupported node".Regards Isabell

I have to combine 30 sql tables into 1 while preserving globalID unique identifiers. These tables have slight differences in column names (i.e. GlobalID vs globalid or JobsiteGlobalID vs JobGUID). These need to be mapped during the insert. I want to be able to run this multiple times so I'm looking for an "if not exists" append transformer. Any recommendations? I've looked as FeatureMerger, but it doesn't seem to work with 30 readers. I've tried a simple append, but re-running causes issues.Thanks.

Hi folks, When working with XML files, often I find it really usefull to be able to use the XSD reader to directly structurize the XML in FME feature types, AND to be able to use the known XML schema to generate the correct schema (attribute names, list elements, data types etc). However, when working with the XSD reader, I noticed something peculiar, which I think might be a bit of a bug.  The thing is, when you select a feature path, FME will generate a feature type with all attributes/lists that are contained at that path.What I think is quite nice and usefull, is that when you select both a feature path and a subpath of that feature path, the attributes/lists that belong to the subpath, are not included in the feature type of the parent path.  So in my case, when I select only 'msg:GMW_PPO' for the feature path, the feature type contains all contents of that feature path, including a list attribute for the subpath 'msg:GMW_PPO/msg:monitoringTube'.If however I select

I have a layer with 75 parks. I need to buffer all of them with 300 meters. But after this I need to clip the buffers with roads and railways(barriers). When I done this I only want to keep the polygon that are on the right side of the road. Sometimes these areas intersect an other park. So if I go for spatialfilter areas are kept even though they should not be. On the pictures below I only want to keep the selected polygon(yellow) because that polygon are intersected of the orgianal park. I've tried group by i spatialfilter but get no success. Is it possiable to solve this? Have attached my workbench with orginal data.  best regardsJesper

I PyhtonCaller that renames some feature classes/tables once they have been loaded to SDE database and checked using arcpyWhen I run the workbench on FME desktop I have not troubles, but when I publish the workbench to server the feature classes/tables can not be found. The Error is ArcGIS Pro: 000732: : Dataset does not exist or is not supported. As the arcpy works on my desktop, this would indicate that the paths are correct, but I may be missing something needed on our server.The environments areDesktopFME 2021.0ArcGis Pro 2.6.1Python 3.6.10FME ServerFME 2021.0ArcGis Pro 2.4.2Python 3.6.8 One of the paths is \\\\tnad.tasnetworks.com.au\\share\\Applications\\ArcGIS\\SDEs\\Dev\\BaseData_gisadmin_gisdbsdev1.sde\\BaseData.DBO.land_district Only difference between the paths is the feature class/table name and some have a Feature DatasetI have tried variation or relative and named paths and backslash forward slashesThe values are passed to the python from attribute values, so I don't

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

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'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.
