FME Form

Hi,  I have a script that I want to use in FME server. The script is creating vertexpoints from an excelfile and the outcome is points with relevant attribute. However when I run the script in my FME desktop and attach a geopackage writer that saves a file locally it creates the points without a problem. But in FME server nothing happens which is strange since it does create other polygons in the geopackage file. But the vertexpoints that are created in the script are not created in their respective geopackage file. Does anyone know why? I have attached the fme script.

How would one create a new line that lies right in the middle between two existing lines? Imagine that we have the blue and pink lines below, they are parallel but not identical, and we want to find the centre (doted) line between them.  I was thinking one could AreaBuild the lines and then chop the resulting polygon into shorter segments, use a CentrePointReplacer on the segments and then finally connect the points. But before I dive down that rabbit hole I was wondering if there was a more efficient method to achieve this? 

I want to write some 50000 features to Excel with fanout enabled by some attributes.One of the fanouts contains 23487 features and fails the workspace with the message Error running translation with 8179 features inputted to the writer. If I filter it out the remaining 118 fanout files get written to disk.I tried both normal writer and FeatureWriter. I have attached the workspace.I started with FME 2021.1.3 and updated to 2021.2.0.1

Hi team, As i am new to FME Desktop, I 've created 3 workbenches like Add, Update & delete processes. I need to run these workbenches in following order.1.Add2.Update 3.Delete Kindly provide which transform can i use to fulfill the requirement without FME Server option.It will be highly appreciate for your Solution. RegardsVIPLAW

Hi, does anyone have any experience with the following error: - "Unable to connect to the File Geodatabase at '------'. Make sure the correct filename was specified, and that the geodatabase wasn't saved with a newer version of ArcGIS than the one installed locally. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220893'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details" We have recently just started receiving the error on all workbenches that are reading feature classes from a .fgdb. The error is inconsistent between what database it happens on and when (i.e. re-running workbench multiple times in a row, it may read a few times without issue). We have alot of automated processes that should run in the background that are now failing.We are using FME 2018.1 via ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability and have recently had a company wide roll out of windows 10 laptops.I believe the issue is somehow related to the

Attached is a testkit with a raster (geotiff 10mx10m), 3 overlayered polygons and workspace. I would expect that if I clip the given raster with the smaller polygon the raster sum would be smaller. Clipping with a larger polygon (which contains the smaller polygon) would yield a larger rastersum. The polygon named T20 in contained within T100 - but the rastersum is larger for T20 than for T100 - if the cellsize is 7 or 10m.The last transformer calculates the ratio on the rastersums between the different clips, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern.   

I'm just trying to do a simple join of LSOA areas and an excel with some ONS data, joining based on the field 'LSOA_code'. The join mode is set to inner and appears to join based on the visual preview below from the joined output port but when I write to gdb, the fields I want to add from the excel don't appear to be exposed in the writer.  

Hi Folks,we are trying to monitor sftp folders and kick of workspace when there is any new file or existing file is modified. something similar to DirectoryWatcher. any idea how to accomplish ?

I have a workspace1 when completed posts the topic message to another workspace2 that subscribes to it. I get details about the status of the workspace1 which is received via the JSON file in the topic message (FME_TOPIC_MESSAGE). Is there also a method to extract the published parameters of workspace1? I tried HTTP caller with the link to the log file with a GET request but I am not able to achieve it 

I have a dataset containing fields representing year and shape length and would like to know how to sum the shape length based on different ranges of years. For example, if I had years 2010- 2020 how would I get the following? 2010 = sum of shape length 2010 2011 = sum of shape length for 2010 and 2011 2012 = sum of shape length for 2010,2011, and 2012and so on up to 2020.  For reference, please see the attached image of my data set.  I've attempted to work this out using test filter using the "IN RANGE" operator but it seems to filter out the values for each consecutive year. Would creating a new field using a combination of math functions and string functions within Text editor in attribute manager be a better method?

Hello everyone, So I have many points and lines in my data set. I would like to extract those points that are not on/touch the lines.  May I ask how I can do that? Thank you and sorry for all the questions. 

Hello there,​So I have a list of data - Floor and units. For the units, it could have more than one categories (with space to seperate different categories). And I have a excel list that shows all the categories.What I can ​to do is to check all the Units are within the excel table categories. Might I ask how to do it? Since there could be several cateogries in one unit, I am not sure how what transformer I should use to solve my problem. Data:Floor UnitsG/F Lobby1/F Office Toliet Excel:TypeLobbyOfficeTolietBathroom Thank you for your help!

Sometimes when reading various files I get different behaviour for the coordinate system the FME chooses. Sometimes I see 'NonEarth_Meter' while other times is something like XY-M. Seems to be somewhat random, however, it could be specific to the input formatDoes anyone know if there is a difference of why both these definitions exist?

I have 2 readers. I am trying to add new fields and values from the 2nd reader to the 1st reader if there is a match. There isn't always a match and I want to keep the order of the records in the output. I'm trying both featuremerger and feature joiner but neither are reproducing what I expect.The featurejoiner failed because not all job records have a lineID. I still want all jobs in the output. One note is there the Lines have a 1:M relationship with Jobs. There is only 1 line record that would populate the output new fields.Thanks!

Hi, I am new to FME. I have a Mapinfo TAB file from UK Mastermaps which contains the map text ( housenumber, streets etc). I would like to conert it to gdb annotations to be used in arcgis.

Hi, I'm very, very new to FME and I'm working my way through the FME Academy. Everything has been going swimmingly until I've got to the point of publishing workflows to FME Server as part of the Publish a Self-Serve Workplace to the Web section of the Automate Workflows module in the Integrate Data with the FME Platform trail - https://safe.my.trailhead.com/content/safe/modules/automate-workflows/publish-a-self-serve-workspace-to-the-web The issue I have is that the module refers to a gdb file called CommunityMap.gdb and I can't see it anywhere. It doesn't appear to be a resource on any previous sections. Am I missing something obvious? I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to find this gdb file. Many thanks Brendon

Hi, I have a polygon layer that represents the building footprint (attribute: building id). In .csv I have a list of apartments (attributes: building id, Apartman id). One building consists of x apartments. So, I need to x duplicates of the building footprint and each clone needs to have a different apartment id. I used the FeatureMerger to join shp and csv and clon to create duplicates of geometry but all duplicates have the same apartment id.

Hi, newish user here trying to figure out dwg to shp conversions. I've got the attached DWG file that has 31 feature types that I need to convert to SHP. But when I run the attached workbench it's projected to 0,0 what am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hi everyone. I have 2 gml files and want to replace some buildings from one of them in the other one using their gml id. I tried feature joiner, but it doesn't work. Can somebody helps me with that? Many thanks in advance

I am using Intersector in FME Workbench 2022.0 Beta and it is resulting in unexpected nodes and segments in our data. We are running the beta because of issues with other transformers. Any ideas? Sample data attached in a ZIP.

Hi folks,Let's call this edition of What's Up Wednesday the "GIS Day Special" - although by the time I finished writing it's more like a "Meme Special"! 32-Bit DeprecationIn case you missed it, external factors mean that we've had to bring forward the deprecation of FME on Windows 32-bit. FME 2021.2 will be the last FME version to support 32-bit! FME 2022 onwards will be 64-bit only. Most formats already worked on both 32- and 64-bit platforms, including ones you might think of as mostly 32-bit, such as File Geodatabase, Microsoft Access, and Smallworld.  But some formats are 32-bit only and will therefore be missing from future FME versions. We will try and supply patches (to 2021) if necessary and where possible, but we really do encourage users to upgrade to 64-bit. For more information, read this article on our knowledge base. For similar reasons, the FME Integration Console tool is also being retired. This was the tool that searched out related
