FME Form

I was trying to build a custom Areabuilder sort of Transformer using a PythonCaller and started digging into the documentation.I was trying to instantiate an FMEArea/Solid/MultiArea but I keep encountering the issue where the classes are abstarct and cant be instantiated manually.How should we go about creating let's say FMEAreas? I have my coordinates but dont seem to find any Factory/anything that could generate these objects.I managed to create Lines from 3D coordinates but dont understand how that could result in Areas/any other geometiries.

For others to know: FME 2021.1When the default interpreter is set to the Python in the Arcgis Pro folder adding the BIM360 Transformer results in a failing BIM360 Transformer. We can solve this by removing the Autodesk BIM360 Docs Package, selecting the FME Python 3.7+ Interpreter and re-installing the BIM360 Transformer.  

The error I am receiving just says: Error running translation. Thoughts?

Hello!I have some weird problem.I have lots of user parameters in my workbench, and their order is critical to the success of the workbench.When I set my parameters in manage user parameters, and hit OK, the order got mix to the old order.Has anyone encountered this problem?Thanks,Dor.

perhaps the easiest way ahead is to explain the bigger picture of what I am trying to achieve. I want to produce individual location maps and block plans for about 30,000 properties. Each plan would be centered its dedicated property but show some detail of neighboring houses and roads etc. I am trying to use the clipper (using buffered property land parcels as the clipper) to clip a base map. Obviously the clippers overlap. The way the clipper works, each clipper takes a bite through the base map, and outputs the result. This means that some properties have many bite chunks removed from their data and their output is incomplete. Ive used FME for over 20 years, but I me not a techy programmer. Ideally the Clipper transformer would have tick box option that says 'retain input clippees for multiple processing' or something....... All suggestions welcome. Regards Dave     

Hi everyone,  Every time I load a reader into Workbench I get an error similar to this "Workspace generation failed. Parameter file was /private/var/folders/tr/rfmmyq590j17jq9ndl8my5lh0000gn/T/FME_1635634267372_8830."  Not sure what the issue is any help would be very much appreciated.  

I'm trying to find and replace a string from a text file where the first part is constant, then the second part of it could be anything, then the last part is a constant. I want to change some of the 'last part' text, keeping the first part + the second part (which could be anything) remain the same. I hope the highly simplified example below illustrates what I mean: Input text: This is constant Line 1 *This is anything Line 2* This is constant again and will change, Line 3Output result: This is constant Line 1 This is anything Line 2 This Line 3 has now changed Does anyone know how this could be accomplished? The files being fed in have hundreds of occurrences of the last part so the first part + second part (though this could be anything, a wildcard perhaps?) + last part search should ensure only one result. I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!

i would like to put symbol instead of point in pdf but i have used pdf styler and it has no symbols . do we have transformer that include symbols to define some points in pdf output fme 2018 .thanks in advance

From html-text "<a alt="Molen (molenromp) information" href="/monument/53454/molen-molenromp/plaats/">" I want to grep the "/monument/53454/molen-molenromp/plaats/"-part. Therefore I use @SubstringRegularExpression("<a alt="Molen (molenromp) information" href="/monument/53454/molen-molenromp/plaats/","\\/([a-z0-9/-])*",0,0,1,caseSensitive=TRUE) but this only returns "/53454/molen-molenromp/plaats/" (so looses the first part /monument).According the very usefull site https://regexr.com/ the reg. expr. "([a-z0-9/-])*" on "<a alt="Molen (molenromp) information" href="/monument/53454/molen-molenromp/plaats/">" though results in "/monument/53454/molen-molenromp/plaats/". What do I do wrong? Attached a workbench with the conversion.

Hi everyone,  I'm making a workbench where I try to write to a file GDB. To be able to use a fileGBD FME needs to be able to detect a ArcGIS license.  We do have arcmap and arcgis pro, but not on the virtual machine that runs FME. Do I need to install arcmap or arcgis pro on this machine to be able to write to file GDB's ?  thanks in advance

  How could i access to topological map by feature reader format WMS ,i am not sure ,where could i find WMS URL https://danord.gdi-sh.de/viewer/resources/apps/Anonym/index.html?lang=de#/ and another point also i would like to know:After reading the topological map .could i have acess to color ,if some lines or specific color in topological map that i do not want to show,what should i do ? i would like to read the four choice at this site.FME 2018 ,thanks in advance

I am trying to connect to an Esri vector Basemap through the REST Endpoint but am having difficulty setting up my workspace. Has anyone had any success with this as of yet? I was able to do this with a JSON filter on the older raster basemaps, but cannot do the same for the vectors basemaps. I am ultimately trying to pull imagery from a specified extent.  Here is the URL of the endpoint in question:https://basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/OpenStreetMap_v2/VectorTileServer?f=json Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!

We have FME 2020.1 32 bits installed on a Windows 2019 Server, With ArCGIS Desktop 10.6 and ArcGIS Pro 2.5. With the 2 Oracle Clients 64bits and 32 bits, configured with 64bits before 32bits in the PATH. It works all fine fine for all users connecting to this server and using FME with the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) reader/writer. But suddenly for one user the ArcSDE Geodb) reader/writer does not work anymore. The database client is failing to load. : -(   The error in the workspace is :Creating reader for format: Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)...Opening the Geodatabase readerAn ArcGIS license is already checked out.

Hi! I have two sets/layers of polygons, one containing boundaries for areas which my company have responsibility for, and one layer containing the categorization of the environment within these boundaries. The categorization layer should of course match the boundary layer exactly, but that is unfortunately not the case. Often, the categorization layer either overlaps the boundary, or there is a (very small) gap between the two. I have accomplished to remove the environment overlapping the boundary using the Clipper transformer.  What I want to do now is to fill in the gaps between the two layers, so that the categorization layer matches the boundary layer exactly. What I imagine I want to do is to fill in the gaps with the closest environment layer polygon, so that the polygon stretches out and snaps to the boundary. Any ideas on how to do this? I have tried to merge the two sets with each other, but since they do not have any common attributes that have failed.  Best regards! 

In the JSONTemplater is there a way to cast an array of strings into an array of intergers? https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hA0SSAU/how-to-coerce-attribute-type-for-jsontemplater?t=1636407693748  answers the question for regular attributes   but this does not work with fme:get-list-attribute. {"ids": [(fme:get-list-attribute("_list{}.id"))] }returns {"ids": ["1","2","3"]}    I would like{"ids": [1,2,3]}  

Hello, Can you tell me if FME is compatible with SAP R / 3? Is there a connector for this system in FME? Did anyone used this? Thank you! Nicu

Hi every oneI have a lot of CityGML files and want to edit the roof type for some of them. After that I want to write it again as it was at first:1-Some normal Buildings and some Buildings containing Building parts2-Each address attached to a building3- roof, wall, and ground surfaces attached to each building But this part of connecting child and parent doesn't work. I attached my Fme file. Can somebody help me? It is really frustrating.

Hello FME Community,When I write the result, I choose Fantout based on an attribute. As a result, I get my data in Folders, but I would like to get my results not in a Folders but one after the other. I want to know if there is a solution for this. (The pictures show what I get as a result and what I actually expect) 

Hi All,I am trying to convert ERSI shapefile(LOD0) to Cesium 3D Tiles using FME 2017 Writer. Here is my workspace :When i use Cesium to visualize it, bounding volume of tile is skew like this:I use Cesium's Template code to visualize(change url to my tileset path) so i guess my code is fine.Could anyone help me on this?Thank you,

Can anyone explain what I need to do in FME to connect to an ArcGIS Pro Layout to create the PDF Map of the Layout. Do I need the FME Data Interop Extension in ArcGIS Pro to do this via Python? Does anyone have examples of this code?

Hi! I have a dataset with 75,000 entries that were user inputted, and therefore have several typos. For example, they are proper nouns, some are labelled "kathryn" vs "katheryn" vs "kathrye". I'm trying to find out how to use a fuzzymatcher where each of these is matched to the ID that they most align with. Some challenges here:1) This is a register, so there may be 50 entries that are labelled "katheryn" and 50 entries that are labelled "kathryn". If I use a fuzzymatcher which doesn't have a threshold, then it doesn't work for me as each one connects to itself. I'm considering a similarity ratio between 0.7 and 0.99 for this reason.2) I want to preserve all entries, as entries include other data that I need for further analysis. Ideally, the output would be a column which uses an identifier for all entries that fall within the similarity threshold. Do you know how I can do this?  Apologies if it isn't clear, I don&

As stated, I am trying to add both geodb_polygon & geodb_attributes readers, and polygon gets added twice. Everything under General is grayed out and I am unable to change 'Allowed Geometries' on one of them to geodb_attribute. Geodb's were created using Arc 10.8.1

Child workspace is using a published parameter (integer) in a RasterExpressionEvaluator.The parameter is sent from a WorkspaceRunner.Translation fails with a fatal error.

We have an ArcGIS Online hosted feature service that has ArcGIS attachments. Using FME, I have no problem downloading the feature service to a feature class in an ESRI file geodatabase, including the attachments. Now our users edited the downloaded feature class, I will need to upload the feature class to ArcGIS Online to overwrite the content of the previous hosted data. Overwriting the feature data works fine, but I can't find a way to bring along the attachments. I am trying to do a truncate/insert operation. Any idea how to do this correctly?
