FME Form

Hello all ! I need to create CSV where value will end  with a semicolon. I can do it using AttributeManager > @SetValue(SUP); but in that case it would add “ “ between attribute because it is converted to varchar. I need it without those “ “ but can’t manage to do it.Example below : 1st is my output and second is what i want. Only difference is those “ “.PS : Title is correctly formattedCODE_AL;NUM_AL;LIBELLELOL;LIBELLEC;SECTSTAT;ANCIENNE_C;NOUVELLE_C;CODE_POSTAL;PRO;REGION;PAYS;POP;SUP10;10;GEROMPONT Avenue des Déportés 74;GEROMPONT ;25122C11-;Gérompont;Ramillies;1367;Brabant Wallon;Région Wallonne;BELGIQUE;82;"0,099368;"CODE_AL;NUM_AL;LIBELLELOL;LIBELLEC;SECTSTAT;ANCIENNE_C;NOUVELLE_C;CODE_POSTAL;PRO;REGION;PAYS;POP;SUP10;10;GEROMPONT Avenue des Déportés 74;GEROMPONT ;25122C11-;Gérompont;Ramillies;1367;Brabant Wallon;Région Wallonne;BELGIQUE;82;0,099368;

I would like to find for each green point the closest orange building limited by the parcel border the green points are situated in. See the attached image below. The neighbourfinder should do the the trick but should not search in adjacent parcels for closeby buildings. Any suggestions? Ps. This is a snapshot of my data. I have about 700 green points and their parcels and buildings. 

Hello, In the case of having a permanent FME Desktop license, can it be reused on new machines ( i want to use it only in one engine so i would like to know is it possible to use it in anothe engine), or do we need to purchase new ones?

I have a dataset with spikes, and I want to flag records with spikes for manual inspection.I am aware of the SpikeRemover transformer. Is there a method of just detecting spikes? Not removing them but just flagging them? I would prefer to do a manual fix.

Wondering if FME can read QR-codes from images. Input is folder with images with QR-codes and some other content. FME should determine where to save those files based on the QR-code so just be able to read the code within workspace. Has anyone tried doing something like this? 

Hello,I’m having a hard time figuring out why a json file created with a Text Writer is not accepted by the GoogleBigQueryConnector.I have an original JSON Key File downloaded from Google Cloud for the Service Account we are using to authenticate to BigQuery. This JSON file works fine and I am able to authenticate and select the Dataset I want to upload data as well as the table in that Dataset.The problem is that since I have to use a system environment variable and specify the service account key file location in that variable in order for the GoogleBigQueryConnector to be able to use Service Account instead of Web Connection, it seems the GBQC takes the project_id specified inside that json file and uses it as default project to log you in, which means that even if you have access to different projects in BigQuery you can only access 1 project per Service Account Key File.Here is an image of the error I get for when the GBQC tries to use the JSON file to authenticate into BigQuery: 

Hi,I have a workspace the reads json files: I need to publish this to Flow, and configure parameters to enable the user in Flow to read files from a certain folder. This will change several times, and I do not mind this part being a manual process.I am unsure of exactly how to configure this.I have set up a Folder and Pathnames user parameter:I have configured it to select Folders, and called this “SourceDataset_PATH”. I have then configured the parameter for the json reader to point at the SourceDataset_PATH parameter. I publish to FME Server, run the workspace: I have used “Browse Resources” to find a folder “Test 1 file” and hit Run.If fails after a few seconds:54 2024-11-13 17:17:27 | The file 'C:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FME Server\resources\data\WACSTEST_1_to_5\Test 1 file' could not be opened 53 2024-11-13 17:17:27 | Opening the JSON reader with source dataset 'C:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FME Server\resources\data\WACSTEST_1_to_5\Test 1 file' 52 2024-11-

I have been unable to find a up to date compilation of the AI transformers and connections available in FME, is there such a thing?Specifically, I want to do some experiments with reverse image lookups.

I have a series of Feature Services in ArcGIS Online.  Unfortunately they contain attribute names of varied case. This is proving difficult for me when I try to create a dynamic workflow that updates the data in ArcGIS online.  When the Reader reads the source data (also of varied case), it converts them all to lower case.Therefore, when my workflow tries to write to ArcGIS online, it cannot find matching attributes to write to because the case is different.It is now too late for me to change all the layers on ArcGIS online to lower case because of downstream dependencies. Will I have to write a separate workflow for each individual layer and individually do the field mapping?Or is there a way around this ?

From a csv file, I determine the target layers that I wish to update on ArcGIS online.The following 2 transformers build the source layer name deriving it from the csv data.My source data name is an attribute titled “portalservice_andfolder”This is fed to a dynamic reader that reads my enterprise portal for each layer.There’s an issue with the Reader.  Refer blue summary for settings.I’m getting all the features come through but only the schema for the FIRST feature type only.Refer the below image which is the result <Generic> port from my reader.  The schema port has a count of 1 when there are actually 2 source layers.The image below shows that the fme attributes are missing for the second feature type.I tried throwing in a SchemaScanner after the Reader but still only arrived at one schema. The issue appears to be in the Reader transformer.What am I missing here ?

I have a featurereader after a featurewriter which is writing 4 feature types. I have configured the dataset parameter as _dataset as per the output of the reader. What do i need as the feature types to read? I have tried _feature_types{0}.name _feature_types{1}.name _feature_types{2}.name _feature_types{3}.name and _feature_types{*}.name but neither work. _feature_types{0}.name by itself does work on the first of the 4 in that same parameter.

I have been having a consistent problem in FME for quite a while now, across both 2023 and current 2024 versions. I have a workspace set up which has a SQL Spatial reader, a few transformers, then a writer back to the database of origin.Any time I run this database, it goes through and successfully runs it within FME. However, as soon as I go to another source and read the database table(s) involved, such as SQL Server Management Studio or QGIS, I find that the data is still the exact same as it was originally, like FME had done absolutely nothing. Likewise, if I make a new table, it will simply make an empty table with only the columns/fields intact, with no attributes at all. I have no problems editing data from this database in QGIS or SQL Server Management Studio and have even had colleagues run the exact same FME Workspace with no such problems. I have also had two different FME installations on two different devices behave exactly like this.I'm pretty much out of ideas here. Has

Hi I'm trying to update attributes in a copy of an MS Access database. The workbench fails at the writer due to a provider error '(-2147467261) invalid pointer. Any ideas as to what the issue may be?

Hi, Currently have a process that recieves a list of record id’s from Salesforce using HTTP callouts, the record ID include the ID of records from a custom object and the id of a number of users, we are trying to create an insert in the customobject_share to create records to give the list of userId access to the records from out custom object.  We currently are getting an error,Salesforce Writer: Record 1 was not processed successfully: 'FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION:invalid parent id: Parent ID:ParentId --' The parent id is the record Id of the salesforce record we are creating a related share record against. the record exist in salesforce and in testing we have event tried hardcoding te ID of both records, and user Id with RowCause = “Manual” and Access Level = “Edit”. The form is running as using the Salesforce reader/writer with a System Admins login details? Thanks  

Hi,I have a scenario where I need to recode the pixels of raster, but the values are determined at run time.I have a list of from-to values, but what is the best way to implement that?The RasterCellValueReplacer will take attributes, but not a list.  Is there any way other than looping through the list and recoding the raster one value at a time?   There can be anything between 1 and 300 elements in the list.

Hello everyone,I am using the StringPairReplacer to find and replace short codes with their corresponding fulltext from a string that may contain multiple codes. It looks something like thisA1, A2(A3), A4 → Fulltext1, Fulltext2(Fulltext3), Fulltext4with the Replacement Pairs: A1 Fulltext1 A2 Fulltext2 A3 Fulltext4 A4 Fulltext4 This works fine, however the lookup table containing codes-fulltext translations may change in the future and I would like to implement a dynamic solution which doesnt rely on changing the workspace everytime something changes in the translation. I managed to create the correct text for the replacement pairs field using the SQL Creator from my translation database but am having trouble inserting this string into the appropriate field as it only accepts text and user parameter input. I am not too familiar with user parameters and cant seem to work out a solution to insert the dynamically created string into the StringPairReplacer.Does anyone have an idea how to do

Hello,I would like to use FME to search for partial name matches (essentially a fuzzy string comparison) between two columns in different datasets.The challenge I'm facing is that it’s not a straightforward ID-based comparison. I want to pick a name from a row in one dataset and search for the closest match in a column of names in another dataset.Does anyone know a way to achieve this in FME, perhaps without relying on IDs?Thank you!

Hi there, I have a workbench published to FME Flow. In the workbench I have a SharepointOnlineConnector which reads in an Excel Sharepoint spreadsheet, and downloads it to my shared data source in Flow server.  The workbench runs successfully and the output (a table in ArcGIS Online) says it has updated, however the values are all old data.  When I run the workbench manually from Form, the SharepointOnlineConnector reads the current data in the Excel.  Any pointers on how to get Flow to read the current Excel Sharepoint?

I am writing to a file gdb, I will need to run my workbench to update this file gdb each month. The schema of my incoming tables may change so I have used a schema scanner with a dynamic writer.I want to use drop and create for table handling but it is not behaving as expected. Instead of dropping the existing feature class it just appends the entries to the existing table.I am not sure why this is happening. Of note, my feature classes are also within feature datasets. See attached screenshot of writer settings.  

I’m trying to follow the FME Form course from a MAC and one of the very first exercises is using a Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) writer. Unfortunately I’m getting this error on the platform. Is there any workaround for this?

Error: “the number of points is less than required for feature”,  We are extracting data from CAD files. The destination is layers stored in ESRI file Geodatabase. Copying the features from the generated layers to other enterprise geodatabse layers result in the error below:  CAD file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ii2dszjoo4zoij4/AsSamou_Hebron_MasterPlan_05_X_03.dwg    Workbench   Extracting the Roads polygon (Roads = Boundary – Landuses)       What might be the issue here?  Thank you  Best  Jamal

Hello! I'm working with one of our legacy systems built in Microsoft Access, and I need to extract data from a query. So far, the only method I’ve found involves using the system caller and command prompt. Are there any alternative ways to achieve this?I've tried using the system caller, but I’m encountering security issues with the runtime version. It appears that I need to set the location as trusted, but I can't do that with the runtime alone. We're aiming to avoid installing the full version of Access, so we're limited to using just the runtime.

I am trying to upload a tif stored in my PC locally to the contents in arcgis online. I can upload the shapefiles efficiently but not tifs. Can someone advise? Thanks!

I have lines and their vertices should be written to XML (using XSD-driven XML-Writer).I extract the vertices coordinates into lists using the “coordinate extractor” .Now I need to find a way to output those coordinate pairs to xml, so that the output looks like this:Is there a way using the “list concatenator”?

Good day,I have a featurewriter and I want to give the dataset the same name as the display value (and not the value itself) of a parameter for which I used a choice configuration. How can I do it ?
