FME Form

I am looking to extract data from AGOL to store in a separate table and filter the data by its date field. Essentially I will schedule this every evening to collate all the data with todays date, or run this early morning and filter on ‘Yesterdays’ date. How do I configure the tester transformer to reflect what I need.  Any help is greatly appreciated,

Hello,I am experiencing some odd behaviour with the FeatureReader when trying to read in a schema from a Feature Class in a FGDB. I am using the “path_windows” attribute that contains the location of the gdb. When run like this, I often get a rejected message (see Caption 2). When I add in the hard coded full path into the Dataset field of the FeatureReader, the data gets read correctly. What is strange is that this has been working fine in the previous weeks when I had developed it. It only appears to be an issue since today. It also seems to read successfully when I run the workbench with caching to the Aggregator before the Feature Reader, then running again from the aggregator (no settings have been changed). I have tried using the path_unix field instead, but get the same error. I have also tried other datasets, but get the same issue.Has anyone experienced similar behaviour when using the FeatureReader with a GDB?… and any ideas to help with the stability of the

I'm running a workbench on FME Server 2017 and after running through some transformers, the data should be writteninto a database. I'm getting an error ans this message: An error occurred while flushing the cursor for the table/feature class 'xxx.yyy.zzz'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216072'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Underlying DBMS error [[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Arithmetic overflow error converting float to data type numeric.] [xxx.yyy.zzz]} Am I right to assume that the error is possibly invoked by an incompatible value? How can I find out which value is causing the error? Is there a possibility to retrieve more information to start the search for the cause of this error?

Hello, I have a problem that I am struggling to get my head around recreating within FME. The images below are just for example.I have data from two separate sources for which I want to calculate the area of overlap, for each instance parcel data and problem area data.I want to calculate the area of overlap for every individual parcel and every individual problem area. So rather than calculating the overlap for every individual parcel against the entire other layer as would be the case in the image below:  I want to calculate the overlap for EACH SINGLE feature, and essentially create a list, so I can then also see the attributes for the problem area,

I am researching options for a GIS data catalog and data lineage system. There are some GIS data catalog tools out there (Ex. Voyager) but they lack a method to store the ETL lineage information. For example, I'd want to map that the Streets feature class in my Oracle geodatabase is sync'd to an AGOL feature layer named "City Streets" every night at 3AM.  Some of the data lineage tools on the market can connect to ETL applications (Informatica, Azure Data Factory, etc.) and scan them to get source/target information from all the tasks configured in the system. I haven't seen Safe/FME show up as being supported by any of these products. So I'm curious if anyone's come across a product that can scan for this stuff. Alternatively there's always manually populating these systems by reviewing all the FME Server job logs and investigating source/targets in the workspaces.

Hi everybody!I wrote some weeks ago about a new solution for our education department in order to get the nearest routes between one Adress and all the schools of the city.thans your answers we could make a first version of it!Now that we get more and more users we have seen 2 problems in our solution.We have a point with the adress of the student and the lines of the streets (including the way from the door of the houses to the street). Usually you have some distance between the point and the vertex of the line. To get the point to the vertex of the line we use the AnchoredSnapper (snappint type: end point snapping; snapping distance 15, Add Additional vertex: never). And hier we get 2 problems.If the point is on the line we get the result as “Untouched” instead of “Snapped” If the point is too far away we get the same problem. Is there any posibility to standarize it? I mean we want to cover all

Hi All,I have a feature class with 351 columns and need to know which columns contains ALL the records as <Null>. I have tried the AttributeValidator transformer but it doesn’t seem to do what I want as all the records go to Failed and there’s definetly columns with all records as <Null>, see below: The ‘Attributes to Validate’ have been included the 351 columns,Any ideas how to approach this issue?Thanks :)

I have several types of rasters in my folders (ecw, png, tiff..). Not all folders i want to process contain all of the types. In my workspace i created one reader for each type, but when one type is not available, i can not launch the workspace. How can i make a reader optional so it will accept no input data?

Hello dear communityI am a real beginner when it comes to PythonCaller. I need the syntax to create a group processing with this transformer. My problem: Persons on an address belong to a group. A new attribute should be created based on another attribute in the group.I have already generated a basic program with Copilot, but I always get an errorPython Exception <TypeError>: process_group() missing 1 required positional argument: 'group'The code reads:import fmeobjectsclass FME_PythonCaller:    def __init__(self):        self.data = []        self.log = fmeobjects.FMELogFile()        self.log.logMessageString("FME_PythonCaller initialisiert", fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)    def input(self, feature):        self.data.append(feature)        self.log.logMessageString(f"Feature eingelesen", fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)    def close(self):        try:            self.log.logMessageString(

Hi,I am struggling to read the content of a layer published to ESRI portal. I have a  _website_urlhttps://gis-eu.xxx.com/arcgis/rest/services/LayerTest_Pt_01/FeatureServer/0for ESRI portal layer. For example I need to get Item Id HTTP_Caller does not get this info in _response_body

Hi, I have created a gdb with 2 feature classes, strings and points. But it only works the first time. Every time I make changes to the model and run it again I get errors. I have tried changing every setting but nothing helps. The only thing I can do is create a new gdb every time but that is not the intention.I usually use the Insert and drop and create settings   

Postman connects easily to Veoci (emergency management software) via a two-step process:1) Get a private token;2) Submit query using the private token. These is done in two separate steps:Step 1 (https) returns five new or updated Veoci cookies in the headers, two of which are APIALB and APIALBCORS.  Their values are identicalStep 2 (https) returns two more new or updated Veoci cookies: APIWALB and APIWALBCORS.  These two values are identical (to each other).These four cookies appear to be related to Amazon.I want FME to combine the two steps into one (and let me store the results in a relational database).Step 1 works fine in FME.  In fact, the pattern of packets matches exactly.Step 2 unfortunately returns the message “Authsession not found in cookie” no matter what I try.  I know conversation contains a permanent redirect (looks like Amazon) and I think this is the problem.Even running Step 2 alone in FME always fails

Hi everyone,We have floating licenses and installed FME Form in a server, and the users will login to that server to use FME. So, my question is How many users can run the same workspace using FME Form in a same server at the same time? My user has different username and password to access the server. Please advise. Thank you.  

Hi, I have a html content in _response_body. I am struggling to get only specific text from it. I would like to get only the text highlighted in red. <b>Layers: </b><ul><li><a href="/arcgis/rest/services/Imagery_Wayback_Ardstaw/MapServer/0">2014/02/20</a> (0)</li><li><a href="/arcgis/rest/services/Imagery_Wayback_Ardstaw/MapServer/1">2016/12/07</a> (1) How can I do it? I assume I should use XTMLFragmenter but I am struggling to get the result I want

Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to get a workspace on FME Flow that makes use of the AutodeskDocsConnector. This single transformer would make my worksapace a lot smaller and easier to manage. Problem is that it just won’t work FME Flow! On Form it works without a hitch. On Flow accessing the same project and folder on Autodesk Construction Cloud also works when using the HTTPCaller. It’s only the AutodeskDocsConnector on Flow combo that seems to be failing me. This is the error message I get on Flow:  Anyone have experience with this or know how to help me out on this one?

Hi, Is it possible to read all content of Esri Portal not just one group or a user?I tried to use * but it does not work 

Hi everyone,I’m encountering an issue with the migration of Smallworld collection records to MSSQL using FME. I perform a differential migration of Smallworld records daily, and I need a way to identify and log any failed records during this process.In a previous migration project, I handled this situation using a post-validation Magik script, which compared the migrated objects in the external database. This database had a version control mechanism managed by an additional date column, making it easy to track if records were inserted, updated, or deleted.However, in the current case, there is no such versioning column in the MSSQL database, making it challenging to track failed records.I’ve decided to log the failed records directly in FME. After exploring various resources, most suggestions point to using the Logger transformer, custom transformers, or Python scripts to read the FME log

Hi, I’m using FME 2024.1.I want to write xls files out where my field names appear in Column A (with their corresponding value pair in Column B) instead of in rows. Sounds simple, right?!Writing the data out with an Excel Writer produces a default output like this:Field Names in Row 1, values in the corresponding column....this doesn’t make for a particularly human-readable output when you have 250+ fields in the output dataset.This is the style I would like the output to be in:Field Names in Column A with matching values in Column B.I have tried using an AttributeExploder to create n

Hello : ) I have a Form workbench that first deletes some records from two tables in a geodatabase and then inserts new records into these tables in the geodatabase. This worked fine in FME 2021 but after upgrading to FME 2024 the delete creates a lock on the geodatabase and causes the process to fail: An error occurred while attempting to open an insert cursor on the table 'Total'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220947'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Cannot acquire a lock.} Any advice on how to fix this problem would be great. 

I am new to using FME and am currently facing an issue. Here's the situation: I want to use a FeatureWriter to create a new file of type Esri Geodatabase (File Geodatabase), and I want to include the value domains of certain attributes when creating the Geodatabase. Thank you!

Hi FME Community!Does anyone know how to create a web service in FME form to connect to ArcGIS Portal?i see this article (https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407635174285-Web-Connections-and-FME#h_01J0S3JP9A7W1TX5B2GG56ZX8S) but could not figure how to properly fill all the parameters to get it working. my goal is to create a token based web connection to authenticate requests to endpoints stored in ArcGIS portal.Thanks in advance!

We have two different buffer results from the same road network and I’m doing some work on identifying what is differentThese are large multipart polygons and I wanted to chop them up to give common parts (overlay > 1) and individual parts. In the picture I want to separate the red hatched bit and the solid blue bits from  the combined data. Running the area on area overlayer with no grouping but creating a list of parts results in…Where the orange hatching has created a fill in on the closed triangle  and the roundabout. This is not what I was expecting but I cannot find a setting on the transformer to avoid this.Help!!!! ThanksRob

Hello FME Community,I am trying to convert annotations from a CAD (.DWG) file to a GIS (.GDB) file in the form of points, in such a way that each line of annotation text is a separate point with an attribute of this text. Everything seems to work fine in my workbench, however, after attaching to GIS programming and loading the resulting points, it turns out that in many cases additional points have been created in each line of text, which prevents me from using them correctly.Has anyone encountered something like this and would be able to help.I attach screenshots of sample annotations in AutoCAD and after conversion in GIS software.FME version: FME(R) 2023.2.1.0 (20240104 - Build 23774 - WIN64) 

I’m fairly new to FME and I’m not sure this is possible. I’m attempting to add a MS Word doc. to multiple zip folders (from a fanout) that contain shapefiles. It’s basically a data dictionary that needs to accompany the shapefiles.  Is this possible?

Does anyone have a sample Workbench (WB) for creating a replica using the ArcGIS REST API?
