FME Form

Hello, I am trying to make a REST API call to one of our servers from inside of a Workspace with an HttpCaller and I am not sure where would be ideal to store or pass credentials like username-password pairs/tokens that are required for this. I don't want to just leave it hardcoded in the Workspace, what I'm looking for is some kind of storing mechanism for sensitive data from where we can retrieve it later in a Workspace.(whether it's in the Cloud/Server does not matter, as long as it's via an FME feature) Any alternative/tipp would be greatly appreciated on the topic of credentials/security measures when working with the FME ecosystem. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to extract images (pdfs, tiffs, etc) from attachments in an ESRI geodatabase. I have been able to get what looks like the proper file but it won't open. Any ideas or perhaps know what to fix this?

i want to read an aprx or lyrx file in fme . is it possible?

Hi all,I wonder if it is possible to have FME expose the day of the week at the time of running the workbench? E.g. If the workbench is running today I would like to have an attribute "day_of_week" that has "Wednesday" as a value.If it is run tomorrow the attribute should read "Thursday" etc etc Thanks!Ed

I have attached the actual workbench below. SO in more detail, what I am trying to do is to output fanned out (by council name) shape files and GDBs to an already existing folder (of the same name as the council name attribute) on a drive somewhere. Is there a way to direct the output data to go into the different council folders when this workbench is run for all councils?The intention is to place this in the server and then schedule it to run on a quarterly basis.any thoughts?thanking you in advance.

Hello, I am passing in a list of values to a user parameter (eg: LGA LGATYPE ABBNAME). The user parameter is assigned to a parameter of ChangeDetector (Selected Attributes).  If I open the FME workbench and run it, the ChangeDetector recognises the parameter value passed as a list of attributes. It then uses those attributes to check for any differences between 2 datasets. That is as expected. However, if I run the tool from the command line and pass in the attribute list as a parameter, (eg: LGA LGATYPE ABBNAME), ChangeDetector does not recognise it as a list and does not find any attribute based changes.  If I reduce the command line parameter down to just one attribute (eg: LGA) then it works. The parameter is a list parameter:  Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?

I have an excel spreadsheet with 3 columns (featureclass, tag, summary). I want to update the metadata.xml file that corresponding to the featureclass. These xml files are embedded in a column in an sde table gdb_items. I'm able to extract the xml, but I don't know how to add xml elements. I have seen the xmlUpdater which works but only when that tag exists in the xml. Also, the "tag" field in the excel is a list of tags separated by commas. I need to create multiple <keyword> tags, one for each item. Here's my workspace so far. shows the xml without the existing "summary" and "tag" <idPrup> <searchKeys> with child nodes <keyword>, respectively shows xml with those nodes (lines 80 to 86)

Hi everyone. I am new to XML and am having some difficulties using the XMLUpdater and XQuery. My issue is around updating 3 attributes within an xml element from 3 attributes in an FME list to create multiple children. When I do this for a record which has say 2 items in the list it’s producing 9 children instead of 2, do I need to group my data somewhere in my XQuery? I’ve attached a sample workbench and data. I am reading an Excel document, then creating a list of all LCS_Codes and their measures per TAC_Code. I then want this list to form the children of a location element within my XML. So I’d hope to go from something like this: Input table:To this output XML text: <tractionCurrentSection id="M58"><location> <part idEl="B077/MSBFA" startPos="0" endPos="149.302"></part> <part idEl="B077/MSBLO" startPos="0" endPos="133.761"></part>

Is there a way to have this python module in FME?  

I'm trying to convert a DWG with solids to an OBJ mesh.The conversion is good but the OBJ doesn't include the color of the solid ("autocad_color"). I tried GeometryColorSetter but I can't seem to set it up properly.I also tried the AppearanceSetter, following this post: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080he8G/how-to-set-the-color-of-an-ifc-objet-ifcproxy but I can't set it up correctly Could you give me some suggestions on how to setup the transformer GeometryColorSetter (or a better one) so that it takes the "autocad_color" of the geometry and gives the same color to the resulting obj.

Hi, Is there a way to replace curve rings in polygon geometries with vertices along the curve without generalizing the whole geometry. The input is a feature class in a file geodatabase. Thank you for the info! 

Hello, I have a line shape file which is in 2d. I want to drape it on terrain to make it 3d. I have the terrain data of the area which is a .las file.

I got over 380000 polygons of landcover data and I'd like to find out which of them have parts thinner than 0.2 meter and identify where these thin parts are located, so I can fix them.I've tried bufferer, but there's no luck for me, please help me, thanks very much!

We have certain coordinate system transfomation requirements for LLH to grid coordinate conversions that are difficult to satisfy using the available reprojectors.I would like to understand how to build and provide a custom projector to be used in our FME transformation pipelines.

Hi FME Guys I'm struggling with a data situation that occurs frequently in my daily work. When I have a polygon feature it may occur that this polygon is composed from "thin" and "thick" sections. See below a screenshot of such a situation.I'm now looking for a way toidentify affected polygon featuresidentify "thin" sections from this featureremove the thin sections or at least cut them from the "thick" parts.Each solution should keep existing Z-values as I'm dealing with 3D data. Any ideas how to achieve the desired result?

I have an idea about a collection of feature readers and writers (feature reader for DWG can break blocks 1 level. then checking if the entities resulting from that break is geometry ( ill keep the block containing that geometry from before the break) or if its a block (break again). then iterating over that until all i have is blocks that if breaked/exploded only consists of meshgeometry.  I would like to hear some feedback on this idea.

Hallo! I'm trying to set the folders in the zip-file for my data download service, as discribed in this question It works the first time I set the folders. But when I need to do a change in the zip-file order, the value of the 'Path to zip-file' are 'stuck'. Even if I edit them, they go back to the value they were initially set to. How do I get around this? Best regardsKicki M

I am trying to merge a set of tiles into a geopackage file. The sources have different geometries and schemas. The string transformers are beacuse the sources have (4) unique characters in the beginning that need to be removed in order to do the merging. I have successfully used a similar workspace to merge tiles into shapefiles in the past. This time all is well until I try to write the new file. There are quite a few errors reported but the geist of them seems to be: "OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: No definition found for input feature type 'NNNNNN'. Ensure that fme_template_feature_type is not set incorrectly and that the feature type name is valid". Any ideas on how to resolve this? 

Can FME be used for secondary development in winfrom? There are secondary development tutorials

I use this guide to add the date to my output file and foldernames:https://community.safe.com/s/article/including-dates-into-the-names-of-output-files-or Works like a charm but slows down my fme with large datasets. Now I don't need the DateTimestamp in my data, only in the filename. So I wonder if there is a way to re-use one DateTimestamp for more than one output.All the outputs use the same WriterAll outputs have a different inputI don't need the datetimestamp in the data Small test model how it is now (and works):How I would want it (but doesn't work like this):The second version is 40% faster than the first...

What I want to achieve is:colour is split into list attribute colour{}nationality is split into list attribute nationality{}status is split into list attribute status{}size is split into list attribute size{}shape is split into list attribute shape{}etc. in one go. Thanks for you help

Trying to calculate distance (Have been using nearestneighbour) but now require were we have a set of points in table 1 and a set of area features in table 2.We need to calculate the distance from each point to the nearest area feature but not its centroid, the requirement is to find the distance from table1 point to the nearest edge or vertex of an area feature from table 2 happy to hear ideas on how to do this thanks

Hi. I have a XSLX files with a column with path value ( value exemple: file:///\\\\common\\Environnement\\SIG - GIS\\Sondages\\Log_Sondage\\01-17_a_TR-20-17.pdf). It's possible to valide if the path adress is valid ? I have more 2500 path to validate. Thank you.

Hi all, I currently have drone imagery where i have 500 images but each image is 500mb in size. I have ArcGIS pro and FME desktop but need to combine the images then publish it to ArcGIS Enterprise. I also need to reduce the image size, then combine and also to set the coordinates to local area. Can anyone recommend what steps i can do this, would be really appreciated as i am struggling to understand where to get started and have many limitations due to the size of the file.

when i change the Default line width to 0.6 in feature wirter ( adobe geospatial pdf in Feature writer ) ,i found it changes for all layers . i would like to change only for one layer and others still has the same width of lines .How could i achieve it ?i need only to change paramter of width of lines in one layer without effecting other lines at other layers . my workspace : i have different lines ,with different colors and i would like to increase the width line with green color that i show in pdf output and others still have the same line width in pdf output .Thanks in advanceFME 2018
