Convert datestamp values to friendly UK date format

Hi, I have a geojson including an attribute with datestamp values. An example value is 202410231836 (year, month, date, hours, minutes - yyyy mm dd hh mm). These are important as I’m running testFilters with it. However I would also like to create a parallel attribute showing an easy to read UK date value from it. So, 202410231836 would convert to ‘31/10/2024 18:36’.I’ve been looking at DateTimeConverter transformer but couldn't work out what import format to use and what output format to pick - assuing that DateTimeConverter is the one to use.Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,Stuart

Force creation of table with no records (null?)

Hello Forum, I have a workspace which reads in a tab file with a start_date attribute and end_date attribute. These are populated with datestamp values (e.g.: 202410281200). That reader flows to a TestFilter which determines if today is before the start date. If so, these records go to a new output writer for sites not yet started. If today is beyond the start date. These then go on to a second testFilter, which determines if the end date has been reached or not. If the end_date has been reached, then this goes to an output writer for historic sites If the end_date has not yet been reached, then this goes to a output writer for live sites. These test Filters are doing exactly what I want them to do. However it can be the case that sometimes there are no sites where the start_date has not yet been reached. In these cases I need the output to be an empty table. However, I’m finding that the flow is failing to overwrite any previously created tables where, for instance, at a time when it

Hi there, today I have a question about the SchemaMapper lookup table. The SchemaMapper filter allows me to define conditional clauses to perform attribute mappings based on specific conditions.

Let's assume we have a feature attribute called "two_digit_number". The attribute can have any integer value from 10 to 99. The condition "not an unlucky number" is met, if the value is not "13". I was wondering if I could represent this condition in a single line of my SchemaMapper's lookup table? Something like two_digit_number != 13. I could probably use a "TesterFilter" to filter out features with unlucky numbers before they enter the SchemaMapper - however, in my project I have dozens of attributes that need to be handled in a similar way. I would have to send all of them through a "TesterFilter". And this is what I would like to avoid. I am excited to learn if there is a simple solution I may have overlooked.

spatial join points based on one attribute in FME

Hi, I want to find duplicate addresses in the data based on duplicate address numbers.The way that I found in ArcGIS Pro is using spatial join of the layer with itself using attribute matching “address number”. This way if a point has a duplicate with the same address number in the same location, is joining with the point with the same address number and if a join count is more than 1 display, there is a duplicate. I am looking for a way to do the same step in FME. I used SpatialFilter but did not get a result. I really appreciate any suggestion for doing this analysis.Also, in ArcGIS Pro, it is possible to join spatially "within a distance". Is this option available in FME?

Lines within polygon selection using NeighborFinder

I need to select the lines that fall entirely within a specific polygon and update their data with the respective polygon name. I attempted to use a spatial filter, but it didn't work as expected. When a line intersects two polygons, the filter selects and attributes the line to only one of the polygons, which is causing issues. I also tried using the NeighborFinder without success. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate a line segment that should not be selected within this polygon.

Bulk Mode in PythonCaller

I see an idea to add/support bulk mode in the PythonCaller has just been updated to "Released" - https://community.safe.com/s/bridea/a0r4Q00000HbriAQAR/support-bulk-mode-in-pythoncaller I'm wondering what the usage of the bulk mode is in the PythonCaller, by design the PythonCaller iterates over each feature individually, therefore going against the idea of bulk mode.

How to insert an empty object in JSONTemplater?

I need to create a JSON attribute with a key that only has an empty object as its value as you can see at key1.{ "key1": {}, "key2": { ... } "key3": [ ... ]}Problem is that the JSONTemplater turns empty objects into null. An empty object is valid JSON and is very different from the value null so this behavior is completely incorrect.How can I set an empty object as a value inside a JSON attribute?I tried using the JSONUpdater but it works in the same way. If you set value type to JSON/XQuery it replaces the object with null. If you set the type to plain text, it only creates a string “{}” containing two curly braces.

IFC3DObject Transformation from Local to X,Y,Z!

Hello FME members,I have an IFC file with no coordinate information in the site feature.it is a 3dObject of a parcel that is supposed to represent the surface - but it is just a (3dObject) flat surface with an extrusion of 1]What I have done: I have at least 4 coordinates to transform, I tried to use:the 3daffinewarper, but the transformer showed me an error [because the transformation from 0,0,0 to x,x,444.1 is coplanar - and I only have 4 known points that went from z:1 to z:443] (I also tried 0,0,1 to x,x,444.1, but it didn't work) so I used the affinewraper to send the surface to the correct coordinate system)that worked!i need to know how to get the 3d object to the correct z value to display the surface (3d object) at the correct height.I hope someone can help me.Greetings Michael

JSONUpdater Ssts all to last value processed

***UPDATE - PROBLEM RESOLVED***This is a strange one!For this example, I have 2 features. I put a counter to get 0 and 1 for the value. Then I’m updating my JSON with the _count value. The output from the JSONUpdater has SERIALNUM = 1 for both features. If I change the sort, it will set both to 0. I’m passing in the same feature in the Document and Update input ports. I’m not sure the distinction between the two input ports.

james_c_452Supporter

Hi,A very random question. My son has recently started to like making mazes out of Lego for marbles. I was wondering if there was a way in FME I could perhaps randomly generate a maze?I know there are a bunch of generators on the internet, however they do not account for a cell size of 2x2, to accommodate a marble, or a wall thickness of 1. I see there is a generator on FME Hub, but it also doesn’t work because it calls a webpage that doesn’t exist anymore. So I thought perhaps I might have a go but I can’t work out a way to use any maze generation algorithms. I don’t know python, but I’m reasonably handy at desktopIf anything glaringly obvious comes to mind I’d love to hear itThanks

Automation Writer in FME Form does not update in FME Flow

I have a workspace in FME Form 2021. It includes a writer for Automation. This writer creates the keys in the Automation I have created in FME Flow 2021. These keys are based on 4 Attributes I created and renamed in my workspace. When I change the attribute names, run the workspace, and upload it to FME Flow, they are reflected in the writer but are not written to the Automation I created that includes this workspace in FME Flow. The Automation still includes the old key names. ...but...after I run/upload the workspace as explained in the above paragraph, then delete the writer and re-add it into the workspace then run it/upload it again, this then it updates the keys in my Automation. Has anyone else encountered a situation like this?

How To Speed UP CSV Writer

Hello,I was hoping to get your input into how to speed up the following workflow:Read an Excel File with several sheets from a Network Share → Output each sheet to a different output port → Create a CSV file for each output port in a network share.I already have the above working, the problem is that CSV writer is taking a loooong time writing the files. My connection to the network is pretty good so it is not a matter of latency between my PC and the network share (at least I don’t think so).Does anyone have any idea on how to improve the writing speed of the CSV files or what to do improve the overall time it takes for the workflow to complete?.Thanks in advance.RZ.-
