FME Form

I have been given an xml file which when opened in Notepad++ shows encoding “Windows (CR LF)” “UTF-8” I need to write a new file with the same encoding. My writer has these parameters It writes the file ok but in Notepad++ the file encoding shows “Unix (LF)” UTF-8-BOM”  What writer parameters should I use to get the same output?

I have hundreds of json file saved to one location, they have a structure as example below: [    {        "json_featuretype" : "1da87ac9-2472-42da-a80f-cba37a36cce5",        "path_directory_windows" : "C:\\Magda_H\\test\\",        "uuid" : "1da87ac9-2472-42da-a80f-cba37a36cce5"    }] I’d like to use PythonCaller to save them to location as state under:  "path_directory_windows" : "C:\\Magda_H\\test\\". Can I please ask for the help with creating a python script to run this. Thank you

I found that Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) (Tech Preview) [IFC_API] Reader in FME 2024 cannot reader IfcOpeningElement features and non-subtracted wall, slab etc. features.In some cases it's essential to read IfcOpeningEelement features as simple solid geometries and non-subtracted features.It would be nice if the [IFC_API] reader would have parameters equivalent to the "Subtract Openging Geometries" parameter in the current Industry Foundation Class STEP/XML Files (IFC) reader. 

Hi, I have multiple lines / links that each have attribute  per feutureID  Vehicle Load1   02  3003  250 In this case I would like all of them to create a single line with the total load, so new ID:4 and load:550. not keep the old ones. This is the easier part however ther are intersections as well. Some times very complex ones:Preferably this should be 2 lines with one node in the center. Maybe 2 parallell ones for the left lower part. I have done similar before with snapper and topologybuilder but would appreciate help. I used segment snapper.My workspace 

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.

I wish to implement a filtering procedure for the vertices of each polyline. The goal is to retain only the vertices where the elevation difference between consecutive points exceeds a specified threshold, for example, 10 cm.I have developed a script that extracts all the vertices and identifies them based on the polyline to which they belong, as well as their specific index. The process involves testing the elevation difference between each pair of consecutive points. If this difference is below the threshold, the point should be eliminated, and the process moves on to the next point.Example of the process:If Z_PL1_1​​ − Z_PL1_2​​<0.1, then point PL1_2 should be eliminated. Next test:  If  Z_PL1_1​​ − Z_PL1_3​​>0.1, then the point PL1_3 is retained. Next we test PL1_3 with the other points of the polyline excluding PL1_2, and so on. This principle is applied iteratively to all polylines.Problem encountered:I am facing difficulty with the implementation of iterations to apply thi

I have a workspace which writes multiple tables to a single Geopackage. When running manually it works with no errors but when running via tasks scheduler it fails with the following error: OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: A file system object called '\\xxxx\output.gpkg' already exists.2025-02-10 07:35:51|  25.2|  0.0|ERROR |OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: Unable to open or create file '\\xxxx\output.gpkg'.  Please ensure the specified file exists and is accessible2025-02-10 07:35:51|  25.2|  0.0|ERROR |OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsHow can I avoid this happening? Is this happening because multiple writers trying to access the same GeoPackage file simultaneously, causing a conflict? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I am reaching out because I have run into a problem recently and searched through previous thread and couldn’t quite find my issue with a solution.I am running into a hang up when I run a workspace that triggers an additional workspace through FMEFlow using FMEFlowJobSubmitter. I will paste an example of what the log looks like. FMEFlowJobSubmitter: https://your.specific. - Submitting a request to run workspace 'Your-Workspace' in repository 'YourRepository'…FMEFlowJobSubmitter: https://your.specific - Failed to submit request to run workspace ''Your-Workspace'' in repository 'YourRepository'FMEFlowJobSubmitter - 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' My workflow is submitting around 70 jobs so after this error occurs around 15 times the error switches to:Error: Failed to update access token.FME Flow error: `FME Flow error: `929026:Error: Connection reset''FMEFlowJobSubmitter: https://your.specific - Failed to submit request to run workspace ''Your-Workspace'' in r

I just learned that you can copy & paste Conditional Values from one transformer to another without having to open the "Parameter Condition Definition" windows each time. My question is: When pasting a Conditional Value, you have to select "Paste Conditional", if you select "Paste" it will paste a text equation that fails. I assume this behavior is a bug, can someone confirm this? This is better described in the second observation noted below.The screenshots below show how this works from AttributeCreator to AttributeManager. Observations I had which might be helpful to others are:When copying/pasting you need to select the text first (e.g. "3 Possible Values", not simply the Cell. (Right clicking the cell gives you options to Cut/Copy/Paste/Duplicate the row.) When pasting I noticed that you have to select "Paste Conditional", if you select "Paste" it will paste a text equation and refresh to appear like all is well (

Is it possible to write an image from a jpeg url into a file geodatabase? In other words, I want to store images directly from a url into a geodatabase. I need to extract the image from the url and move that image into a geodatabase. Thank you!

Hello there,i want to mark some points which are already placed at each corner of the building polygons in a DGN(MicroStation) file,i want to mark points which exist within 10m buffer from the road, and also points which at the road facing side of the building not at the back side of the building polygons,when i tried using the buffer it covered all the points including the backside points, if buffer reduced some building points got missedseen the image, the intention is to mark only the blue circled pointslooking for some suggestion, ideas are most welcome thanks. 

How to securely achieve the desired order of in which are feature types (tables) written in the database? I have some FK dependecies in the target tables and I have somehow discovered that its written from the bottom to the top of the feature types list. If its not written from the parent to the childs it crashes on FK violations. I know there is an idea registered. But so far what are the options? It consider the inserts/updates and also deletes where i would need the inverse order.Thank you for the suggestions.

Hello, I’m new to FME and I’m encountering a problem where the same rows of data aren’t being saved to both writers. I have two writers connected to the same database but with different tables. When the data is processed, the one saved in the shp_db_b table and can be seen, but there’s no output for the dashboard table (Even though it said ‘Translation was SUCCESSFUL’). I think the issue might be with the Aggregator transformer, but I'm not completely sure. I've attached the relevant pictures for reference.  

I’ve a Microstation DGN file where Building as polygons and each corner of the building polygons have a point, those points have some attributes in the form of MicroStation TAG, i want to check the TAG attribute of the points.Each point will have many attributes like building no, street name, etcif any point in the Building with TAG value ES=1 then the trailing point and successor point must be either ES=1 or ES=6in the below image red point are ES=1 and the orange points are ES=6i want to check the validate this caseany ideas most welcomethanks in advance

Hi,I am trying to put data in a zipped file geodatabase in 4 feature tables. Only 1 table is written to the zipped file geodatabase, the rest are not. (no error message). If I write to an unzipped geodatabase file, the 4 tables in the geodatabase are written. How do I write multiple feature writes in the same zipped file geodata tables? (I have tried feature holders to put tables 1 by 1 in the zipped file geodatabase but that makes no difference). 

It’s about this error message "No Module named GeoEncoder", how can I solve this error?  

Hi all,When I write to a newly created Feature Service on ArcGIS Enterprise, the attribute data doesnt populate, all the attribute column data is null.The shape data populates but the attibute data doesnt for the Feature Service.Has anyone come across this when writing a Feature Service to ArcGIS Enterprise using FME?ThanksAnthony

I am getting some really strange results when trying to offset aggregated lines. The fat red lines below are aggregated. This is sent to an OffsetCurveGenerator, thin pink lines. In this instance it seems like the OffsetCurveGenerator treats the lines as individual parts and offsets them to different sides (I am looking at only left channel out here). In other cases it fuses the lines into unities that can not be restored afterwards with a Deaggregator.Any ideas on how to resolve this, or workarounds?Edit: I went back and checked the geometries in the examples below, there where to complaints in the GeometrValidator. This is a spinoff from my previous thread:    

I’m trying to identify the vertex/vertices in a 3D dataset which are at the zmin.The task is very easy but I’m trying to figure out the fastest/cleanest way to do this. The dataset could be quite big and the geometry could be any type (not point cloud or raster).  

Hi,I need your help.I would like to read the data from an excel file that change every week.  Moreover the excelfile have a different name every week.I would like to try to automate the process and as an input i would like to have the directory instead of the file. How can I do that? Thank you for your answer.Pauline

Hi, I have generated a tree in FME that looks like that (data type=buffer)How can I save it as in Excel so it looks the same? I assume the question is how to change buffer data to an image

Hi all,I just wanted to get an idea on how others are working with FME when it comes to inspection.I have FME configured to always open up the FME Data Inspector rather that the Visual Preview in Workbench. Mostly I do this because I like to have a larger window and I’m used to it from the pre visual inspection days.Am I missing out? Any tips on using the Visual Preview? I’m interested to hear from other on how they handle inspection
