FME Form

Hello , I'm working on finding the path for specific lines and reorder points .I have several lines, each defined by a start and end point, but these lines also contain intermediate points. Should I merge the intermediate points with the lines before using a shortest path finder, or how will the transformer know which intermediate points belong to each line if I don't provide them? My goal is to reorder all points, including the intermediate ones, to find the correct sequence from point A to the final point, such as A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Thanks in advance 

Hello! I have a problem regarding using a FMEFlowJobSubmitter within a workspace when running on fmeflow using only one engine. When testing the same setup on an old fmeserver i dont have this problem since a “child” engine is created and the procces does not halt. This also works ony my localhost fme flow. However when running on a new fmeflow setup i get the following error:346 2025-2-12 14:53:56 | FMEFlowJobSubmitter_5 (ServerFactory): Reason - 'Error communicating with FME Server host  FME-flow uses a “"FME Engine of a distributed FME Server deployment". Could this cause the issue or is there any other known problems that i can look into? /Fabian 

Hi allI have an FME Workbench file which has to do the following things:Ask for multiple directories via a published user parameter read two files in each directory which end in _changes.shp and _to_remove.shp AND are always located in a subfolder v1 in each directory.The transformers and writer after that are already doing what they should do, but I can’t seem to confgure my reader to do what I asked here. Is this even possible to do? And if so, how should I do this?Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,I'm using FME form 2024 and I would like to know how to configure the software so that the Inspector automatically opens in a separate window after a translation is completed. I’m having trouble finding this option in the interface.Could someone please guide me through the steps to achieve this in FME 2024?

Hello, I am seeking help with using a Regex to replace the first instance of an underscore in a string. I am using a BulkAttributeRenamer to rename a series of attributes with multiple underscores like this as an example: 0_4_C11_M I am trying to replace just the first underscore in the string with a dash with a regex replace to change the name from 0_4_C11_M to 0-4_C11_M. The regex I’m using is ([\_]+) When I test that expression in RegEx101 is does exactly what I need and only replaces the first underscore in the string as shown below:However, when I use the same expression in the BulkAttributeRenamer it’s returning and replacing all underscores as shown below:Hoping someone can help with advice on how to limit the return to just the first underscore in the string please - it the expression incorrect or is there something else I need to add to the parameters? Thanks :)

I am new bee and want to generate FME flow which reads every day file from SFTP server and populate the datathe first half of the file is default then their is date concatenation with “MMDDYYYY” format and then suffix with file extensioni use datetimestamper transformer and found the date but when pass that date to FeatureReader in Dataset with “default text”@Value(_Date) , it does not generate the fileCan someone help with if their is any example which can provide me guidance on how to set auto filenames

I have a field that contains values with parentheses, like (0601310951181134359628), and I would like to remove them. The parentheses always appear once at the beginning and once at the end of the field.I am currently able to achieve this using two StringReplacer transformers, each removing one parenthesis. However, I would like to do it in one step. I tried the recommended regex expressions from previous posts, but none of them worked.Any suggestions?

Hi there,Somehow I've managed to undock the Translation Log window from the bottom pane of FME Workbench and I've been unable to return it to it's original location.Currently, it is locked in the top-left of my screen and shows as a much more compressed version of itself (with no text) - see image.Can anyone enlighten me as to how to restore it?

Hi all,  I want to update certain attributes in a DWG block. To the left where it says "test" I have updated an attribute. However FME writes out duplicate blocks and the new one is also bigger than the original.  Is there a way to update attributes and write the changes to a DWG without touching anything else?  Thanks!  /Jacob

Bonjour,Je souhaite récupérer des données WFS de l’IGN (BD TOPO), mais je n’arrive pas à lire toutes les entités sur FME. Pouvez-vous m’aider à configurer le paramétrage ou me dire s’il est possible de récupérer uniquement les données du département de la Haute-Garonne ?en vous remerciant par avance !!!  

hello! I am currently working on an API integration project. My task involves reading data stored in an ArcSDE geodatabase, selecting specific data, and posting it to a website. The website accepts data in JSON format, which should follow a specific structure:{  "type": "Feature",  "properties": {    "id": <id>,    "name": <name>  },  "geometry": {    "type": "<geometry_type>",    "coordinates": <coordinates>  }}I read data from ArcSDE geodatabase and the option that converts data into the format above is GeoJSON writer. however, this writer saves the GeoJSON file to a directory, which I do not want. Instead, I need to convert the data into the required JSON format using a transformer, Extract specific parts like geometry and property from the JSON format that can connect with an HTTP caller to POST the data. I'm not sure which transformer would be suitable for generating the desired output. I would greatly appreciate any advice or help! Thanks!

I am trying to find shortest distance from all points in red to all other points in green using network connecting all of them. The point feature has only types (A,B).Is it possible to have the short path finder to search the path always staring from point A to pint B.

 I have tiff file that I have been provided when I run it through FME Workbench 2024.2 to create a mbtiles package, I get this strange black background, I assume it is the defulat tile for the area.  The orginal tiff only occupies the extent of what you see in the map itself below.  So the conversion is tacking on this huge black boundary.  Any ideas on how I make it not do that?  I have included a screen shot of my settings below.  Thanks for any ideas!!

Hi,I am trying to prepare a PDF with the PDFPageFormatter. I have 6 input ports in the PDFPageFormatter and it seems impossible to align them exactly with each other. I have the same upper left x and -y for all 6, the same size. I selected them all and centered them with allign. but there is still one of the input ports that shifts slightly. How can you set this alignment correctly?The top part of the attachment is the Data Inspector. The bottom part is the PDF. The green areas have shifted.

Some workspace of us is using ogr2ogr to move data from one postgres db towards another (more performant then setting up a FDW in postgres itself and more performant then FME for doing the data move).Calling this via the system caller shows all information in the log file (including password information). Is there a way to avoid this more recent then this post:   

I am creating a set of workbooks which require the correct value being set on a session based temporary table in a postgis database. To achieve this, I am using a multiline sqlexecutor, where the first query calls a function which sets the values, and the second query returns the values. The issue I am having is that the transformer is only returning a value for the first function call. FME_SQL_DELIMITER ;SELECT sms_1transact.goto_checkpoint('$(end_transaction_name)');SELECT "A"."fid", "A"."theme", ST_Envelope("A"."geom") [...] -- « This is the result I want returned by the transformer. I cannot change anything about the database I am getting the data from, as it is third party, and isnt in scope for change. For an earlier call, I am using the “SQL to Run Before Read” on the Reader, which works fine, but this second query is dependent of the values retrieved in the first, so needs to be inline. 

I want to send ~150 users a stock email. No data translation in this one, I just want to read a list and send the email. (also a attachment, with a file that matches mostly matches their email addy but one thing at at time). 

Hallo FME community,I have many lines in a shapefile and some lines are connected to each other. I want to bring all lines that are connected together into one feature. I would be grateful if someone could give me an idea. 

We have been putting together a transformer using the FME Packages SDK using FME Packages SDK Guide. As part of the package we are using the fmeobjects.FMEUniversalReader to read features. When we pipe the features to pyoutput to one of the transformers output ports all the attributes are not exposed. As the UnversalReader in our package references parameters in the transformer the attributes will not be consistent. Is there a way to make the attributes exposed on the output?ThanksBrad

I am building a workspace to do data prep for an AI model training process. This will involve, in this order: Copying a number of image files of type A When copying completed, creating image label .txt files for these when all image copying and label creation complete, copying an exactly equal number of images of type B (from a larger pool than that of the A’s) creating the image label files for these Terminate process when counts match1 and 2 are working fine. I’ve added a counter after stage 2, and I want stage 3 to keep running until the count of type B images copied = count of type A images copied. How might I a) kick off 3. only when 2. is finished and b) stop 3. when count of B = count of A?  

I saw a very similar question to this from a couple of months ago where the poster managed to resolve it on his own, but his fix did not work in my case.I'm reading from AutoCAD Map OD (multiple files) and writing to AutoCAD Map OD (single file). I've checked my template file and Shape File Folder Path and they all seem to be fine, so I don't understand this error or why my workspace won't run.

Case: To get an unified look I am trying to aggreagate line features before offsetting them. Once they are offset I want to deaggregate them back to their original geometries and attributes. I assume using ‘Geometry - Assemble hierarchy’ in the Aggregator is the way to go. Unfortunately I find the documentation a bit confusing.Q1: Could someone please explain the parent - child concept? I have features and their attributes, so two(?) levels deep. I want to “pack” and then “unpack” them. But I don’t understand where to get the ‘parent ID’ or ‘child ID list attribute’? It would make sense to me that they were created when I group the features, not before?Q2: In the documentation the word nodes is used frequently. I guess this should be understood as ‘parts’?NB this might not even work. When using the setting ‘geometry - assemble one level’ features wont deaggregate after being offset. If it is also so when using Hierarchies, is there an other tool to achieve my desired result?

As the short path finder requires FROM.TO. input with line terwork.I have a data that has 680(From) and 1882(TO). So the From To table will be 1,279,760 record which takes too much time. For analysis..My data extent is 1500m*4000m.The farthest From To path  in my data never exceed 300m.My idea is to create a table using neiblghbour finder to search for all( From) point to TO points with a tolerance 300. OR within a boundary.Or something like excluding  the To found  with minimum distance shirt path finder found.Is this valid?I'm trying to minimize the matrix created by FME to reduce  the process for short path finder.Any help or ideas.?

We have a model where we use a ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader. On the FME Desktop machine, the model works fine for me but not for my colleague. On the FME Server, the same error pops up as my colleague gets. In the logs, there is the following message when the model fails (on Dekstop for my colleague and on the FME Server):511 2023-3-31 00:32:15 | ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Logging into 'https://URLarggisportal/' as user 'username'512 2023-3-31 00:32:15 | Python Exception <MalformedPacError>: Malformed PAC file (ReferenceError: identifier 'myIpAddressEx' undefined513 2023-3-31 00:32:15 | duk_js_var.c:1258514 2023-3-31 00:32:15 | FindProxyForURL src\\pyduktape.c:41515 2023-3-31 00:32:15 | eval src\\pyduktape.c:1 preventsyield) When I run the model myself on FE Desktop, I get this log and everything works fine: 2023-03-31 10:34:00| 117.4| 0.3|INFORM|ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Using proxy http://proxy.url:port/2023-03-31 10:34:00
