AttributeKeeper @Value or text input User Parameter

Hi, I‘m stuck at a simple point. I want to make the AttributeKeeper filter from @Value or a User Parameter which is created by the AttributeCreator. Is it possible? I don't find a solution.The goal is to get more attributes late in a row: test_2,test_4,_test_x in the AttributeKeeper from the AttributeCreator/User Parameter.

Visualising data on inspector map after reprojection

I would like to visualise data on the inspector data or in the graphic view after I reprojected it. That would be in the middle of a workspace before using other transformers and just to locate some features. I know it’s possible to write the data in a shape and check the features on another software like QGIS or ArcGIS but I would prefer to do that in FME directly if that’s possible, when I’m building my workspace. Can I do that?

How do I convert a Raster file to COG (Cloud optimised Geotiff) with 4 bands (R,G,B,Alpha)?

I want to convert JPEG file (4 band) to COG with below parameter:I have problem with “Interleaving Type”:When i chooses “BIP”, i received a message log:“COG writer: JPEG compression supports at most 3 bands with BIP interleaving. Please change the interleaving to BSQ, choose another compression method, or reduce the number of bands”When i chooses “BSQ”, i received a message log:“COG writer: The file layout 'Cloud Optimized Tiles' may only be used with BIP interleaving. Please change the interleaving to BIP or select a different file layout”I need to convert JPEG file to COG with compression method “JPEG” and keep alpha band.Can i do that? Am I mistaken about something?

Extracting data from SQLite Database

Hi Community, I am facing a similar issues as outlined in the following link : However, I am unable to extract the data from the database. I guess am missing something in the JSON query parameter of the JSON Fragmenter transformer. Attached are the screenshots Am very new to FME so it’s possible that I might be missing something basic. Any suggestions on how to overcome this would be helpful.

I’m trying to convert DWG’s to SVG’s. It works, but it’s using the AutoCAD colors. I would like to just make the lines all one color, and NOT use the autocad colors. Ideally, I’d like to fill certain layers with another color.

How to replace FeatureReader?

I need to extract TAB or Shape file from S3 and read data from it including schema.I have discovered in this articlehttps://community.safe.com/data-7/how-to-extract-the-actual-shapefile-from-featurereader-geometry-and-attributes-14548?tid=14548&fid=7that FeatureReader apparently can’t read all attributes that are in the file, until I expose them. But what is I don’t know the list of all attributes? I don’t know what exactly will be uploaded by other people to S3 bucket, I just need to read the file. Could you help, please, to identify the correct settings of FeatureReader or another way to extract data?

Microsoft Word Writer and changing run order of transformers?

Hello, I have an issue with trying to use the Microsoft Word Writer. As far as I understand, I can build my Word document using multiple MSWordStyler transformers, and depending on the order of these, the document will be built differently. For example, if the “heading” goes in first, it will be at the start of the document, but if it goes in last, it will be last in the document. I have 2 MSWordStyler transformers, one table and one paragraph. I want the table to be first and the paragraph last. I got my desired result, but when I later saved my workspace my paragraph now ends up first and the table last. The order of which FME is reading the transformers has also changed. If I understand correctly FME runs the transformers in the order they appear in the Navigator, and you’re supposed to be able to change the order. I can’t do this though? I don’t get the option to move transformers up or down. I’m also supposed to be able to get the option to “Set connection runtime order” when I ri

How to extract the actual shapefile from FeatureReader (geometry and attributes)

Hello, I am using a "Directory and File Pathnames" reader to pull shapefiles from a folder. I then walk them through a tester to filter out the files that I do not need. All good and working up to this point. The goal is to work on those shapefiles and have a processed shapefile as an output, in the end. After the tester, I send the "passed" ones to a "FileReader" that outputs the desired features under the <Generic> port. My question is: how can I write those out and keep the geometry + attributes of the shapefiles for future processing? I can see them in the Inspector but I cannot figure out how to move on to the next step as the only attributes I see imported to any transformer I add, are the ones from the "Directory and File Pathnames" reader, not the shapefiles themselves.Long story-short, I want to use the shapefiles that passed the "Tester" as readers.

Merging Attributes with Line on Area Transformer

This all looks good as can be seen below, where each road (from a feature color setter) for visualisation is correct.Output from Neighbour FinderHowever, when i try and put these lines through the line on area overlayer to chop the pavement polygons up, different street id’s are being added to each polygon, hence i can not then disolve them back again.Output from Line on Area OverlayerPArt of the workbench below - not tidied up yet ..sorryWorkbenchParameter setting for line on area overlayer belowLine on Area Overlayer ParametersAny help on what is wrong would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Splitting Data

I am creating a geodatabase where I have buildings and all the corresponding rooms; however, when I import it into arcGIS pro, I am unable to select based on floor level. I checked the written data in fme, and all the rooms and floor levels are in the attribute table, but are merged onto one “layer”. Is there a transformer I could use that can make each floor level seperate from one another in the geodatabase? I tried using attributesplitter, attributefilter, etc. Thank you in advance!

Forward slash breaks SQL insert with SQLExecutor in stored procedure

Hello! I currently have a stored procedure in MSSQL that takes in some parameters and inserts into or updates a SQL view. I’m using a SQLExecutor transformer to run that stored procedure, passing in the feature attributes from FME as parameters for the procedure. The code in the transformer looks something like this:EXECUTE [schema_name].[procedure_name] @id = '@Value(id)' , @name = '@Value(name)' , @description = '@Value(description)'And the stored procedure looks like this:ALTER PROCEDURE [schema_name].[procedure_name] @id nvarchar(100), @name nvarchar(250), @description nvarchar(250)ASBEGIN IF ((select count(*) from [schema_name].[view_name] where id=@id) =1) BEGIN UPDATE [schema_name].[view_name] SET name = @name, description = @description WHERE id = @id END ELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO [schema_name].[view_name] VALUES (@id, @name, @description) END Generally this works, but some of my attribute values (eg name and description) are long blocks of text with various s

Splitting bulk features into individual features when performing simple copy of annotation between File GDBs

I am trying to do a very basic read/write of an annotation feature class from one file geodatabase to another. In my case, I’m first running a PythonCaller transformer to remove any and all annotation feature classes in the target file geodatabase, then I use a FeatureReader to read the annotation feature class from the source file GDB, and then run a FeatureWriter to write the annotation FC to the target geodatabase with “Insert” and “Create if Needed” options selected for the table, which I assume is creating a new annotation feature class in the target FGDB.Regardless of minor tweaks I make to both the FeatureReader and FeatureWriter transformers, FME Flow keeps writing these as individual features instead of bulk features. There are ~450k annotation features in the feature class, so running this by writing individual features takes over an hour, which will not work for our scenario.Interestingly, the first time I ran this in an earlier workspace, FME Flow used the bulk feature sett

FeatureReader Expose Attributes - User Parameters

Hi All,I’m working on a workbench to help my team with some geoprocessing. The plan is to upload the workbench to FME Flow therefore my team can run it on demand. I have included a FeatureReader at the start of the workflow to select a GDB containing Polygon data then I was able customise the tool to with a User parameter read the GDB and give the user the option to select the feature layer. That works fine.The challenge now is that I would need to provide the user with the option to select the relevant fields based on the Generic port, How can I set up the User Parameters to allow the user to select the relevant fields to include in the analysis? Here are some screenshots of the feature reader as well as the Parameter Preview:
