FME Form

Before the web presentation of Safe and FME changed to what they are now It was possible to find the zipped FMEData. Data that are pointed at in almost every exercise in the FME Academy, community postings and videos. The new FME page does not provide the “knowledge” structure anymore as before and all links in the community etc. are pointing straight into Nirvana. I can see that these resource now can be found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/FMEData, however, I cannot get a listing of the content of this bucket and I always end up with a 403. Without a listing it is impossible to guess the specific file I am interested in… Can somebody point me to an URL where I can get the latest version of the FMEData?

i have daily & repeated work in geospatial data and I did it manually it takes a lot of time

The IFC data was exported using ArcGIS Pro. After importing it into FME Data Inspector, the following errors occurred: ISO10303-21: Skipping instance #50: Instance is not syntactically valid An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details Failed to specify the feature index as constraints on the reader Could anyone please help with this? Thank you!

When trying to read an IFC file, I am getting an error ISO10303-21: Skipping instance #1154: Instance is not syntactically valid. How can this be fixed?

Hello! I’m trying to use the Cartegraph Connector and could use a hand. In the past year or so, I believe the API URLs have been updated compared to when this custom transformer was originally made. Now, I am having trouble with the very first step which is authenticating. I think I’m using the wrong URL to have my username and password accepted by the API. Also, this custom transformer was created in 2022 and may not work any longer for various reasons due to versions. As a test, using Postman, I have tested some API URLs and can successfully connect and perform a GET command and get back data. This shows that I’m close.. something works in Postman - so we’re on the right track.. now to get FME to connect. Because this is a work matter, I cannot share a great deal of information openly here. If anybody has a clue about getting connected to Cartegraph as it’s configured today (2024/2025) that would be awesome. Thanks and take care Jim

I’m at working on matching indoor point cloud data to gml LOD2 data using ICP so I want to transform my gml data to a point cloud data to help ease the matching. Can anyone please help me? question is how do I transform GML LOD2 to point cloud data? also if there are other suggestions to complete this task. Thank you

I need to copy records from one hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online to another hosted feature layer. Schemas are identical. Some of the records in the source data have an attachment (only 1 per feature/record so only in the 0 position in the list). No problem getting all of the records to write from the source to the destination but the attachments are not included. Anyone know how to do bring over the attachments with the rest of the data?

Hi, I have some villages (Primary and secondary villages), each containing a main folder, a subfolder, a data folder, and some empty folders. I will designate one village as the primary village. All sub-village files/data will be stored in the main village folder. Only location path links will be kept in the secondary village folder (marked in red color). Other data will be sourced from different locations (Marked in green color). Finally, I must validate whether all folders and data have been correctly segregated or not. I am currently performing this process manually, which involves copying, pasting, and validating each folder and village individually. This manual process is quite time-consuming and manpower. Kindly help me about this test cases and workflow. I am new to FME and am eager to learn more about its functionalities. Thanks.

Though experienced with reading WFS's, I'm a little bit frustrated about reading a WFS2.0 in the FeatureReader. It seems it is not paginating. Checking the WFS GetCapabilities, 'FeaturePaging’ is not mentioned. I want to query the WFS with a polygon. So that is my initiator. But I'm not sure whether the results exceeding the 50k or 100k or even 200k. That's why I want some sort of ‘FeaturePaging’. Anyone an idea on how to solve my issue? It's probably simple, but I can't see it at the moment.

Hello Forum, I have two polygon datasets, each with just one object in it. The edges of the two polygons abut in places. I’ve created a workspace where I‘m reading in the ‘Above’ polygon dataset and the ‘Below’ polygon dataset. I want to create a line feature of where they share a border. To do this I’ve used an Intersector which gives me a new _overlaps attribute… The exact line I require is where _overlaps = 2… So, I added a TestFilter to filter out where _overlaps = 2… But when I wrote that to a new feature no geometry was created. So, I added a LineBuilder, hoping that that would force the line to be drawn. But the resulting FeatureWriter is still not creating a line dataset - it creates a dataset, but with no geometry. Any ideas? Thanks, Stuart

Hello Forum, Is it possible to artificially create a polygon based on the lower edge of an existing polygon? Imagine I have an existing polygon, I’d then want to create a new polygon that snaps to the lower edge of the existing polygon. The depth of that polygon doesn’t matter, for example it could just be roughly 50 metres away from the shared boundary. What really matters is that is snaps to the lower edge of the existing polygon. An alternative approach could be that the artificially created polygon is a doughnut polygon which wraps around the existing polygon to say, a depth of 50 metres. I could then split it manually where required… I hope this makes sense. Any ideas? Thanks, Stuart

Hello everyone, I have some published user parameters, and the choices will be retrieved from the database. Is there any way to have the user parameters to be updated automatically once the workspace opened? Thank you everyone.

hi ! FME name machine parameter does it exist? I see the name of my computer at the beginning of the log but I don’t find where is this parameter. Thanks !

When running an old script in FME 2024.1.1.0 we get 58 errors “The object at location ___ was previously deleted and cannot be retrieved from the Object Stash” (see attached log file). It doesn’t appear to affect the output, the log file says “Translation was SUCCESSFUL” and CPU and Memory usage don’t get close to 100%. Can we ignore these errors? This is part of a much larger script but only this part is producing the errors. We updated the transformers and saved the script to FME 2024 but still get the errors at the transformer FeatureJoiner_13. The only way to not get the errors is to run the script up to the 2 preceding transformers (“Run to this”) and then run FeatureJoiner_13. The output appears to be the same as when we were getting the errors. We tried adding in FeatureHolders before FeatureJoiner_13 but still got the errors. Bye Doug

Hi, I need help. I have an attribute column X with string values ‘S001’, ‘S002’, ‘S003’, and ‘S004’, all lined up in 1 column with 4 rows corresponding to the string values. I would like the output Y should to be a single row list, having just one column and one row, containing the four values: Y = (‘S001’, ‘S002’, ‘S003’, ‘S004’) Could you please advise how this could be done in FME Form. Greatly appreciated. Thanks, Willy de Vera

Hi, Could you please provide an official documentation on how to configure FME Form to access the latest Python version from Anaconda distribution as well as its machine learning libraries. Admittedly, there are topics already posted in the community related to the subject; however nothing seems to work for me. BTW, I’m running FME(R) 2024.1.2.1 (20240906 - Build 24624 - WIN64) on Windows 11 Enterprise Thanks in advance, Willy de Vera

Quick Question.. I’m trying to use the SharepointOnlineConnector transformer to access/download contents in my OneNote, but no luck so far and now I’m questioning if this is even possible? I can’t find any examples or information of this anywhere.

Hi, got a question from a client yesterday who wants (with FME2018.1) to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database (no the question is not from a museum: ). FME returns a Fetching Feature Types Error, "... SQL Server Native Client 11.0 does not support connections to SQL Server 2000 or earlier versions". Any ideas the minimum hazzle to get around here? Just to install the SQL Server native client 9.00 and problem solved? I do not have an environment for testing this myself :/ cheers

Hi, I am trying to request information from FMEflow with an httpcaller. I have created a temporary token that allows everything. If I include the token in the URL, the request works fine. (https://<...?/v3/info?fmetoken=abcdefg...) When I put the token in the httpcaller I get a 401 warning. What goes wrong in the caller?

Hi folks! As I was using AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot to troubleshoot, I suddenly received information from the AI about the "Generate Workspace Documentation" function. Here's what I learned: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generate Workspace Documentation This feature allows you to automatically generate comprehensive documentation for your FME workspace. The output is typically an HTML file that provides detailed insights into your workspace structure, parameters, and transformations. It's incredibly useful for sharing with colleagues or for archiving your workflows. How to Use It: Usage in FME Workbench (GUI): Open the FME Workbench application. Load the workspace you want to document. From the Tools menu, select Generate Workspace Documentation. You can choose to output the documentation in an HTML format, which can be opened in any browser. Command Line Usage: This function is als

I have a point feature which has been developed based on the polygon ID. All of these points are created at the polygon Centroid, I want to distribute the point randomly within the polygon

Hi I’m calling an Ordnance Survey API using a bounding box of a 25km grid square to just get the building outline features I need. I’m doing a spatial filter and buffer then to further reduce the number of features I want. I’m doing this manually i.e. putting the new bounding box values into the API call parameters then running the workbench again. I want to be able to do this dynamically via a parameter, from a list of bounding box coordinates from another file, so I can effectively loop through and spit out out a file for each grid square (I’ll append these back together later). Is this possible? Any help gratefully received.

Hi, I am trying to convert raster data in the forms of .grd, tiff or GRID from ArcGIS Pro into a csv/table. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated. GRD file loaded on ArcGIS Pro
