I am trying to write data to a xml data format. The problem is that I get an extra tag or element as shown in the following screenshot, so my first question is how can I get rid of the element which ends with -tabel? My second question is: In the element name I add some extra information like id and parent id. I add this in the xml writer Feature Type Name. This addition comes in the head of the element as well as in the tail as shown in the following screenshot. Is there a way to show it only in the head of the element? I want to have something like the following screenshot: I hope that someone have an idea and will have the time to help me here 🙂  Kind regards,,,

Good Afternoon, I would like to remove the south and Est limit from bounding polygons. Indeed, I have a matrix composed of multiple bounding polygons, their limits are topologic. I need to make geometric operations on points intersecting these polygons. A point can belong to one unique polygon. Unfortunately, some points are located on limits from 2 polygons. The solution I would like to do is to create a new matrix where the limits south and est of each polygon are removed : Consequently, the polygons won't be topological anymore : In this case, a point cannot belong to 2 polygons unsing intersection method.I tried polygoncutter (using the polygon and the limits as Input), but it seems not to work : Any idea?Thank you  

Hello!I have a layer in AGOL named "park furniture".I want to make a backup via FME to a FGDB named the same.Im wondering if there is any example of a workspace were i can see wich transformers i need to use if i want to make a backup from a feature layer in AGOL to a FGDB. I dont have any schema in the FGDB but want to use the one from AGOL and also transfer the domains and attachments straight into the FGDB.  Or is it better to make a copy in Arcgis Pro first and the keep overwrite/update the FGDB.  /Tim

I am transforming a shapefile of roughly 25,000 Los Angeles County parcel polygons into cityGML for upload to Cesium Ion. The translation is successful in FME Workbench, but when it uploads to Cesium Ion, it makes the following error in the Cesium Ion assets browser:  We were unable to process your data due to the following issue:Error: Input does not contain any eligible features for tiling.Read about what data formats are supported on Cesium ion. which is not very helpful. When I view the resulting cityGML file in FME Data Inspector, I see that all of the separate parcel polygons have become one joined polygon (and the extent probably should be trimmed). I see from the tables that I have created one CityModel and roughly 25,000 GenericCityObjects with missing column data. I've attached screenshots that show the values I am getting. What might I be doing wrong? For the 3DForcer height I used 3.0 without units. I'm wondering how to specify units, whether that is necessary (beca

Hi, I'm new on/to FME. How to check CVS header spelling. Example I have one CSV file and it contain name and location as it header. Header should be spell as name and location, if it spell as Name/NAME or Location/LOCATION it will return false/incorrect. Thank you.

Hello FME'ersHere's your weekly round-up of FME news, and there is a lot of content this week! FME2021.2 ReleaseYou'll have noticed that FME2021.2 was released yesterday.  What's new in that version? Well, we have a newly added CKAN reader/writer. Because it's delivered as a package this isn't totally new. It was added to the hub in August I think, and can even be used with older FME versions. But it's new enough to count!  What's definitely new is a reader/writer for Esri Knowledge Graph. I know very little, so luckily we have a full tutorial on what the format is and how to use it.  FME 2021.2 also has the usual amount of bug fixes - remember the What's New changelog is your friend there - and for FME Server a revamped Geometry Picker.  I believe the new part is the menubar at the top, a search tool, and you can now also change the background map to another provider. On a related note:The GeoCoder transformer was removed from FME in 2021.2 and repl

Hi, I have the following table: What I want is to get the column names into a new table as values: Everyday there will be a new name for Column3,4,5,6. The new name should just be added to table without deleting the old values. How do i get the column names into the table?

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&#3

Hello FME Community! Year long learner, first time poster, please go easy on me.  I've been trying to add a prefix to all files within a directory. I have searched the forums for answers, and have tried a few different suggestions from previous posts but for some reason, my files don't get renamed. In this example, I would like to add "2022-" as a prefix to all filenames in a folder. So far, I have used the "Directory and File Pathnames" Reader with the following settings:Next, I have used the Attribute Manager to change the filename properties:Finally, using the File Copy Writer to put the files into the same directory:I can't figure out which settings may be wrong or not completed properly. Thanks in advance for any help or tips! Stefanhttps://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hKw8SAE/quick-way-too-rename-files-for-noobs

I have a shapefile in which the download URLs of many tiff images are written in the attribute "RGB". I have to download all tiffs and save to my filesystem. I first tried with the HTTPcaller transformer which downloaded the files but named them all after the header description. I couldn't find a way to determine the filename in the transformer when "save response Body to" was set to "file". Then I saw a post from Takashi in which the FeatureReader transformer was used to download files. This downloads the files into an fme-Temp directory and I am able to name the indivual files according to an attribute in the Shapefile, but after the transformer has done it's work, all the tiffs are automatically deleted. Unfortunately I have no idea what's doing on here but i'm sure i'm only a short step away from being able to download the tiff files to a directory of my choice with the correct filename. Could anyone show me what i'm forgetting?

Hello everyone!I'm pretty sure it's a simple problem, but I could not resolve the matter.We have a dxf file of cloud points, very loaded with points.I want to do generic filtering by square meter.For example he would leave me 4 points per square meter.All the transformers of the point clouds do not work for me, and even if I do, I do not know with what method to do it.Would appreciate help!Thanks!

i am using vector on rasteroverlayer transformer ( Lines over topological map) and also Mapnikrasterizer transformer ,i have got the output that i need but it takes long time .do we have method to increase the speed of process ? or what should i think about to reduce the time as possible and get the same output Thanks in advance FME 2018

Hi all,I've drawing as a SmartSolid in Microstation with tag attributes.But, FME recognized my solid drawing as wireframe of solid. So how can i re-solid of this wireframe? or how can i import data as a Solid? not a wireframe.I also need to tag attribute value on solid in FME. So I don't want to lose them. Thanks. 

I've had a look at a couple of the Inspire tutorials on writing Inspire data in particular the following:https://community.safe.com/s/article/eu-inspire-initiative-tutorialhttps://community.safe.com/s/article/inspire-natural-risk-zones-demo-annex-iiiThe issue that I am hitting is I am losing my geometries in the last step and I cannot for the life of me see why. I am missing something but cannot see it so any pointers from the community appreciated. I've attached a workflow and test data.In the screen shot below I can see the geometries in the geometry property setter but do not get written. 

Hello there, So I have two data set.(1) LL84 Coordinate system (in degree minute, etc)(2) Hong Kong80b.Grid System (in meter). ​I want to ask how do I know which measuring unit I am using in my fmw file. It is because I am using Anchored Snapper transformer and I want to set the snapping distance in 0.001m, yet I dont know what unit the transformer is in. Thank you in advance. Zach

I'm breaking my Roadway center line into each Vertex and when I use a spatial filter I'm unable to get 100% match. Any help? I'm planning to use line builder to create each line between each Vertex and remove the fake lines as some roadways have "multipart poly lines" ..Where m = two GPS locations. I hope to spatial filter those out.  This is the start of my work space, and I cannot get 100% match? Same GPS coords, I looked at the GPS value 7 decimals down and they match.  449024.999979021

Hi,I have a dynamic pdf with a large number of questions. This file will be filled in by different people and we will recover these files once the investigation is complete.Then we want to compile all the answers from these files and we would like to do it in Excel.Is it possible to convert dynamic pdf file to Excel with FME?Thanks a lot,Have a nice dayMatthieu

Each month I have a spreadsheet I would like to split into several separate spreadsheets based on values in one of the columns. This column contains peoples names and I would like a spreadsheet per person to be written out. To complicate matters the values in the name column can change each month so the process would need to be dynamic. How would you achieve this in FME?

I have a right-of-way polygon (ROW) that I generated a 3-foot buffer with the intention of selecting all parcels within this buffer. When using a SpatialFilter in FME not all of the parcels with in this buffer are selected as they should be. A sample of the parcel and buffer data is attached and the Parcel with OBJECTID 85 does not select. When using the same data in ArcGIS Desktop the parcel does select. Note, the buffer is created at 3 feet, a larger buffer results in false positive results. I also noted that when viewing the data in ArcGIS Desktop and FME Data Inspector the parcel is clearly within the ROW buffer; however, when viewed in the Visual Preview in FME desktop, the parcel is not within the buffer. Screen shots below of the same area in all three viewers. ArcGIS Desktop:  FME Data Inspector:  FME Desktop Visual Preview:Note the parcel crossing the ROW buffer when view in FME Visual Preview and not in ArcGIS desktop or FME Data Inspector.

 i would like to write different numbers for input parameters 2354 or 6985 or 4893i mean ,i want to add different input numbers and inside the workspace i have added test filter for the input user parameters if specific attribute has 2354 or 6985 or 4893 should do function .so my question : how could i add input parameters more than id numbersFME 2018 ,thanks in advance

I am using FME joiner to join tables. the joined tables do not show all fields from the source table. I was wondering what could be the reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
