FME Form 2023.2 doesn't recognise ArcGIS Pro 3.3

I’ve seen that FME 2023.2 Build 23764) doesn’t recognise ArcGIS Pro 3.3 for access to Esri licenses. Will this be resolved in 2024.1? I haven’t tested 2024.0 as I’m waiting on the .1 release

Conditional Values for Rule Configuration in AttributeValidator

I'm building a data validation tool and utilising the AttributeValidator heavily as part of the process. There are a couple of attributes that are "optional" but have an associated list of valid values (field validation/domain). This means they are allowed to be null, but if they have a value, it must be one of the pre-defined valid values. I'm hoping to use the Conditional Value option for Rule Configuration as below: However, upon running the workbench, FME terminates and the translation fails immediately due to "unbalanced quotation marks on line XXXX of file <workbench directory>\\wb-xlate-1700200438336_13788". Is this a bug or is my conditional value rule configuration just incorrect?

Logging in to new FME AR App

The new FME AR app update has introduced a login page with a URL or Barcode (see attached). Are these logins for a server app or a FME Flow instance? I cannot find any documentation on the process here. I have not been successful in logging into my FME Flow Instance or server apps so I am not sure what else the login url could be. Any help is appreciated.

Setting up a dynamic conditional value for creating attribute

I’m combining lines based on end noded while keeping some attributes in a list for each original lines (1). Then I create a new attribute based on the lists (2) with conditions based on numbers in the lists (3). I would like to set up the condition statement dynamically: the number of lists varies each time I run the workflow so I would like to pick numbers from the last list available (in this case PR_list{2}) and do something like: PR_list{0}.ORIGINE < PR_list{max}.ORIGINE instead of choosing the list manually. Is it possible to create a dynamic condition in the condition value definition?

Reading and selecting layers from .dwg files in reader

I am currently reading all .dwg files from a folder with a dwg reader and it works well. To gain time, I would like to select in the reader the layers I want to keep (named “CADRE”) instead of reading all the dwg files and the thousands of elements contained by them, which I filter after as I am doing currently (see photo). I looked the reader documentation and on forums but I can’t find the right parameters, is it not possible to do something like that? Thanks for your help!

Does FME support ECRG and HRE file?

Dear All, I'm looking for tools to write ENHANCED COMPRESSED RASTER GRAPHIC (ECRG, MIL-PRF-32283) and High Resolution Elevation(HRE, NGA.IP.0002_1.0 HRE) files. I have searched the FME reader/writer list, and these two formats are not on the list. ECRG and HRE files are physically formatted within a National Imagery Transmission Format 2.1 (NITF 2.1). Is it possible to use NITF writer to export ECRG and HRE?

Attach point name to a line

Hi, I have a problem. I just created a line out of multiple points of an x,y,z text file with the LineBuilder tool. The problem is that the points name are lost. After the LineBuilder I use a Chopper to split the line into segments. Now I want to add a new attribute to the line segments, which has the initial names of the points. Because due to the LineBuilder the names are lost and are everywhere the same. How can I do that?

Handling Data Validation Errors in FME Script: Capturing Invalid Records for Review

In my scenario, I have an FME script that performs data validation. If the data is valid, it updates the database. However, if any records contain errors, I want to capture those records in an Excel file for users to review before uploading the data. In this error case, no data will be updated to database. So, the logic I'm aiming for is as follows:Validate the data. After validating all data, capture all invalid records to an Excel file. Then, terminate the FME script without uploading the data to the database. If all data is valid, proceed to upload it to the database.I've attempted to create a flow with a terminator, but the Excel writer doesn't have a connector. Connecting the terminator to the output port of the TestFilter after validation would terminate the writing of the error Excel file as well.Can anyone provide suggestions to solve this issue?

Update Esri GDB field type

Hi all, how do I easiest update change the field type in a GDB?Esri Introduced the BigInteger, which is giving me a lot of issues. It dosn’t work in all applications, and I can’t even do a relate or join on it. I need to get it into a integer. For some reason the data we get delivered now on a weekly basis has all the number fields in BigInteger.I need it to find the BigInteger Fields, and change the type, without loosing data. The data also fits an normal integer.Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks

unique nearest neighbor matches?

I have two point files and need to identify the nearest point in file A to the nearest point in file B, however the matching must be unique. Meaning once a point in file B is matched to a point in file A it cannot be matched to any other point in file A.I can match them using nearest neighbor but don't see a way to restrict to eliminate duplicate matching, so I end up with the same point in file B matched to multiple points in file A.

RegEx to get the first letter of each word. Works in search, but not in SubstringRegularExpression

I’m trying to create a new value based on the first letter of each word in a string. I tested the regex ‘\b(\w)’ and the returned value is correct, but when I used that regex in the @SubstringRegularExpression(), it only returned the first letter of the first word.@SubstringRegularExpression(@Value(ID),\b(\w)) where ID is “MARKHAM RD/ORANGE BLVD, SANDFORD”. You can see in the regex editor, it is correct. This is the result of the substring

Area Calculator vs SHAPE_Area

Hi Community! I was wondering if anyone had an idea of why I am getting different values for polygonal areas when calculated in FME using AreaCalculator vs the SHAPE_Area attribute of an ESRI feature class?The geometry I am working with enters the workbench with a defined projected coordinate system (DUB-DTLM) from a dwg file and the feature dataset in which the destination feature class resides is also in DUB-DTLM.The discrepancies are minor (at the 3rd decimal place in sqm) but nonetheless have the potential to cause issues.Interestingly, when the features are interrogated in Map3D, they show the same area as is calculated in FME.Any explanation (or even hint!) as to the cause of the difference would be much appreciated.

Fill gaps in time series data?

Hi all,I have a 15 minute timestep data which has random missing values (expected). I’ve managed to track where the data has gaps, but in order to calculate a consistent rolling 24 average of the value I need to fill these missing gaps with a timestep but null value (so i can calculate an average from the preceding X values)Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fill these data gaps automatically? Or better still calculate a 24 hour rolling average using specific timesteps rather than just number of rows? Thanks

Filtering data with the value from another reader

I have a SHP file with geometry. It has an attribute called 'id_alt.' I would like to extract only the values of this attribute. Is there any way to convert these values into variables that I can use the value use with TESTER after UUIDGenerator to filter my data? Alternatively, what is the most efficient method to achieve this with FME

Writing null geometry features to ESRI file geodatabase

Is it possible to create features with a null polygon geometry and write to an ESRI file geodatabase?I have some features with known geometry which I write successfully.I would also like to write features with no geometry to the same table and update their geometry by manual editing later.I have tried modifying fme_geometry{0} and fme_geometry but nothing seems to work.I usually get an error like “can’t write features to and area feature type” I have read through similar questions but don’t seem to have a complete response. It appears it is possible to create a valid null geometry. Thanks go any help.
