FME Form

Hi everyone,I am new to FME and need some assistance with a project. I am trying to create clusters based on a point layer, using one of the parameters where the total hours equal to 'n' and a spatial parameter. The objective is to find clusters where the total hours equal 'n' and ultimately demarcate boundaries for these clusters to optimal coverage. I have been using the NeighborFinder transformer, but I am having trouble moving forward. Could anyone provide guidance or suggest a better approach to achieve this?Thank you in advance for your help!Sahan

The Coordinate Systems Gallery is missing EPSG spatial references we use all the time. How to update the gallery list so that more EPSG codes are available? (e.g. anything on https://epsg.io/)

Hey. Does anybody know how to solve the situation where I need zipextractor to not preserve the tree structure of the archive ( if it contains subfolders ) and save the file itself?Thank you

A user is supposed to use FME Server's web interface for running a FME workspace that has been published on it. That FME workspace takes a file geodatabase as input. The user should upload his/her file geodatabase at runtime in the web interface for that workspace. The problem is that the browser will not let the user select the folder defining the file geodatabase. Furthermore selecting all subfiles of that geodatabase will lead to a failed run. What is it that I am overlooking? Thanks in advance!

I want to build a flat JSON array using the jsontemplater. I try to use this example to understand the syntax but using the pipe character does not go well.Starting with a simple creator for the root object and sending the actual information to the ‘ADDRESSES’ sub template. I try to define the root template as [| fme:process-features("ADDRESSES")|]and the sub template as{ "ID": fme:get-attribute("Site_ID"), "Address": fme:get-attribute("Address")}Taking it from the linked example the pipe character is needed to separate the array items by commas.My translation log return the following warnings, and error messageJSONTemplater (XMLTemplaterFactory): The following error occurred near line 1, column 3 of the query:JSONTemplater (XMLTemplaterFactory): invalid expression: syntax error, unexpected "|"JSONTemplater (XMLTemplaterFactory): An error occurred while parsing the ROOT template How do I use the jsontemplater to create some flat JSON array structured as [ { "ID": "Site_ID", "

Hi there,Creating many workbenches over the years, and this is very rarely a problem.But it is very rarely a problem because FME automagically selects the postgres writer writes the data using the correct geometry type, not because I have been able to specify.However, here i have a workbench reading in spreadsheet data using a [vertex creator] on the X/Y columns, but when I write the data out to postgis/postgres i find that it arrives there in linestring format. At least, QGIS then sees the layers as linestring!What is super wierd, is that this workbench has been reused for several years, each year with the postgis writer being modified to create a new table for the years data. All previous years it has created point data, this year it has decided on polygon. This happens when i modify the workbench in FME 2022.1.3, or in the current FME 2024.2.3.So, obviously this is unsatisfactory, and I want to be able to tell FME to create that postgres.postgis table with the geometry type of point

Hello,Using SpatialRelator, I want to test if a feature line from Requestor, is "Requestor is OGC-Within Supplier", where supplier is an other layer line.If end vertex of line are the same, the test works but otherwise doesn’t work.OKNOK   

Can someone please let me know how I can grab two values from a JSON snippet like below image? Using FME Desktop I am trying to grab two values “portalURL” and "id" from two fragments of "info" and  "events" and assigned them to two User Parameters “PURL” and “PID” Can you please let me know what Translator/former I can use to the task for me?

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:
