FME Form

I have 1 dataset with many overlapping features. These overlaps tend to have a different feature name. I have been given a list that tells me which name takes priority over the other. I want to find the overlaps and then just carry through the areas that take priority. For instance ancient woodland trumps everything. Building footprints trump everything else. Wetlands and pumping stations trump grassed areas.  I have started with an AreaOnAreaOverlayer, generating a list (OverlapAttributes), AreaCalculator, Counter and Tester, where the _overlaps > 1. I've then added a ListExploder.  Where the '_area', '_count' and '_overlaps' are the same, I want to only take the feature with the highest priority name. Am I going about this the right way?I'm a lost as to where to go from here! Attached is some test data and my workbench so far. Thank you!

Hello All, very new to FME, at this moment, I'm generating some nice 3D models converting FBX to KML. The purpose of these is effectively creating a 'radiation' zone. Are there any clever tricks in FME for creating some sort of line/boundary/something when the edges of that KML intersects with a 3D Building in Google Earth? I think this is one of these things where someone says 'absolutely' or 'actually, that's a really good idea! '  Thoughts very much appreciated! TIA  Colin....

I'm having a hard time using the WFS XML filter. I surely built a working workbench before so I am sure this worked. The only thing I want is adding a boundingbox in the WFS (2.0.0) request. I open the XML Filter setting and entered:  bbox=48187,407743,148934,408593 The workbench fails. Log:  <ows:ExceptionReport version="2.0.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1 http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/schemas/ows/1.1.0/owsAll.xsd"><ows:Exception exceptionCode="XML getFeature request SAX parsing error" locator="org.vfny.geoserver.util.requests.readers.XmlRequestReader"><ows:ExceptionText>org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog. Content is not allowed

I have a dataset with attachments using ArcGIS online and would like to download the pictures associated to a certain Field in the spatial dataset. Each attribute(row) usually comes with 1 or 2 pictures and the bulk download in ArcGIS has meaningless filename for the pictures.I would to use one of the attribute field names for the photo filenames. E.g. UNITID_0001_photo1UNITID_0001_photo2UNITID_0002_photo1UNITID_0003_photo1

I am new to FME and this is my first post. I am trying to create a workbench that will search through hundreds of windows folders and convert pdf to tiff images. I have tried the ImageRasterizer with no luck. Is this even possible? Thank You

Hi. I'm trying to get a single output from these two sources:County Assessor Parcel BoundariesSurveyed Parcel Boundaries The goal is that, if the parcel is in the Surveyed Parcel Boundaries layer, we use its shape. If not, we keep the County Assessor layer shape. Only some of our records are in both sources. Some are in one and not the other. Which transformer would be best for this scenario, and how would I go about setting it up? Thanks!

Hello everyone.Apologies for the lack of what's up Wednesday last week. It just means there is more to share this time! FME Community SurveyAre you a member of the FME Community? By "community" I don't just mean this particular site; it could be any site where FME is discussed, such as Twitter, Slack, Reddit, or YouTube even.  Basically, if you talk FME or interact with any other users online, I'd be really grateful if you took a survey on the current state of the communi

Hello FMEers,Here's your weekly look at what's new in the world of FME. Community UpdatesA very nice and just-released update to the FME online community is a reputation leaderboard:  It covers the top 100 users, excludes Safers, and lets you sort by Rank, Level or Reputation. Thanks to Fahad at Safe for implementing this. I think there are more updates to come and I'm really looking forward to them. On the subject of community, thank you to everyone who has taken our community survey so far. The information is going to be a great help in moving us forward.  If you haven't taken it yet, it takes about 10 minutes you can

Hi,I have used the online tool to create a custom coordinate system. I use the WKT, where among other parameters, the ellipsoid is defined:........SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,........ I also select GRS80 as elipsoid in here : I unzip the generated files at the "FME" folder inside the "Documents" folder, as stated:  But when I go to the "Reprojector" transformer and search for my new custom coordinate system, I see that there is no defined ellipsoid:   So, when

Hello, I am trying to create a workspace for doing a batch identification of information contained in tables within some pdf files, the thing is that the pdf also contains some other information as text, so I am a little bit confused on how to achieve that, and also if it will work with different tables, because the dataset I have was made by multiple authors so they are different tables on each pdf. I am wondering if it would be better to use a external application or a PythonCaller to achieve that, but before trying that out I would like to confirm first. I am attaching a sample pdf of my dataset so you can see the table that is in it. Thank you!

Hi,Is it possible to have FME modify the schema of an existing table? Say I have a table with name mytable and attributes attr1, attr2 and attr3, coming from the import of an external dataset. A new version of the dataset contains a new attribute, or the data type of an attribute changes from char to int or so. We do not want to drop and recreate the table, since quite a load of triggers, user rights and stuff is dependent on the table. Basically we want to truncate the table to the new schema. Is that doable in FME, has anyone experimented with that?  I guess I could use something like SELECT   *FROM   information_schema.columnsWHERE   table_name = 'mytable' (we use Postgis), check the results and compare them to the new version of the dataset, and if differences, generate and execute the necessairy ddl statements by FME, but I'm not sure if we should go that way.

Hello,I am trying to generate centerlines from IFMEDonuts/Polygons derived from CAD floor plans. The majority of these lines are fine, but there are a handful of instances where it ignores the shape of the polygon or creates an anomaly.  I understand that it does not bring the line all the way to the bounds of the polygon (maybe a setting in the next version? hint hint). This might account for a few of these issues, but not all. Here are a few screenshots with problem areas circled in blue:Any ideas? UPDATE: I was able to resolve a few of them by Intersector, Chopper, HorizontalAngleCalculator, Rounder, then TestFilter any lines not orthogonal. I also used the SmartCleaner to exten

Hello, I am trying to create a workflow in order to transform a dwg to a cityGML file and later to import it into a 3D citygml database. https://ometv.onl https://chatroulette.top https://omegle.wtf https://bazoocam.cam I have tried to find an example online doing something similar but I had no luck. I wanted to ask if something like this is possible with FME and if there is an available example to get a first impression of how to implement it. thanksalexsunny

Hi everyone, I have set up a simple dynamic workspace that reads a shapefile, reproject coordinates and write a shapefile. This should be a general porpouse workspace indipendent of the source schema dataset, but the output dataset contains all the attributes of the input dataset plus the attributes of the dataset I used to develop the workspace (and I don't want them). Could it be a bug of the shapefile writer? If I use a geopackage writer, instead, everything works fine. Thanks.

I have balcony drawings as attached files two sample data. I want to calculate the thickness of the balconies as seen in the picture. is there a transformer for that?

I have several sketchup files. I need to merge those files into single file. I am new to FME. can someone suggest easy way to do this?

I am trying to upload output geotiff files to a folder on a remote site via SFTP from a FME Desktop workspace. The FTPCaller transformer supports the SFTP protocol and I make the assumption that uploading files to an empty folder should work. My GeoTiff files are first written using a FeatureWriter. The FTPCaller comes next and fetches the GeoTiff file with the "Upload from a File" transfer type. The translation fails with "Login denied" probably because there is a missing piece of info.Actually the process works fine on the same machine using Filezilla. I just needed to provide the RSA key to Filezilla in a PEM file and the connection + file transfer work like a charm.Of course I would like to allow FME to take care of this upload step without depending on Filezilla.How should I set up the authentication parameter in order to make this possible?The info that I provided to Filezilla to make the connection work is the foll

For some reason, I can't read in a date such as 02-JUL-08using %d-%b-%yIt says that %y is output only.Surely there must be a way to read two digit years.

Dear All,  I am trying to write some features in a versioned featureclass. Instead of writing it directly to the SDE.Default,I have created version in ArcGIS and I have set the FME output to write to that version and I have made sure you have Versioning set as your Transaction Type under Advanced settings.I have Run the FME workspace and it has come up with below error message.  I am not sure why this has come up. Please let me know if you are aware of this.  Error message:   An error occurred while attempting to store a row into the table 'ARCFM.Lamp_LV'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147221230'.

Is there a way (or a script) that can turn off AUs when writing to SDE tables? I have tried the solutions from the below question and they didnt work for me:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/95896/how-to-turn-off-arcfm-auto-updaters-using-pythonca.htmlI am looking to do this because I get an error when writing to the table from FME server but I dont get an error when running from FME Desktop. I am just trying to try any solution I can at this point.Thanks.

can anyone suggest me, how to recognise road edge using FME Transormers

I'm really struggling with the string functions in FME at the moment. I have a workbench reading JSON features from an API and I have one attribute where the results are in a list. The JSON extractor results the attributes like this:  ["Medium"] Or if there are multiple values, like so:["Easy","Advanced"] I want the results to be: MediumIntermediate,Easy I want to remove the brackets and quotes using a single transformer and can't figure out the formatting for my life! Currently I have 3 separate "string replacers", each one removing a single character, but there must be a better way...I don't mind using a REGEX expression if someone can figure it out. I'm also open to using a different type of JSON query to extract these values? If there's a way to get the attributes without the brackets and quotes? I also tried using the stri

I have created an FME workspace that return some validation messages in JSON. The output looks something like this:{  "Response" : {   "transaction" : {     "id" : "78234626376472399",     "transactionDetail" : {      "validationResult" : [        {         "testCode" : "1001",         "testResult" : "PASSED",        },        {         "testCode" : "1002",         "testResult" : "FAILED",  "failMessage" : "fail Message 1"        },        {         "testCode" : "1003",         "testResult" : "PASSED",        },        {         "testCode" : "1004",         "testResult" : "FAILED",

We are new to FME and just have FME server up and running now. We are in the process of moving some of our existing workflows that we have built using FME extension for ArcGIS and so far we're having success publishing. We have some workspaces that error when we try and run them because we reference Python for Esri 3.6+ or Python 2.7. So far these particular workspaces haven't really needed arcpy so we just changed the parameter in the workspace and republished and they ran ok. Our server is a single, standalone machine with all components running locally. A little about the machine: We have 8GB RAM, 40GB free space on disk right now, it's a virtual machine running on hyperflex with 1 socket and 2 virtual processors (2.39GHz). So now I'm wondering if we should install ArcGIS Pro and or ArcGIS Desktop (for python 2.7) on the FME server machine so we can allow our GIS team to migrate some of their arcpy scripts to FME that do use arcpy. It would help them manag
