FME Form

Hi - I am hoping someone can help.Apologies in advance for the long message.I am using FME Workbench 2022.2.8.I am trying to set up a workspace that has three readers (using a SQL database that retrieves data from three separate tables) connected to a PythonCaller and then a feature writer (connected to the Python caller) that writes the data back into a SQL database.I need all the readers to have finished before the PythonCaller is executed as it uses all of them in the script.I initially tried to run this using the built in Translator Python3.9+ but every time I did It said no module named pandas.I attempted to configure my own python.exe that I have as part of anaconda navigator (2024.10.1).I created an environment called fme_env and set the Python version to 3.9.I was able to successfully set up all this, but I encountered the no module called FMEObjects error.I went into my FME installation path and there was a folder called fmeobjects and inside that there were several version bu

I have a SPATIAL table with the following columns: X_coord, Y_coord and a SPATIAL column GEOMETRYThe X and Y coordinates are adjusted. With which attribute can I adjust the GEOMETRY columns?It has data_type SDO_GEOMETRY (Oracle). Contents of a record:MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, 28992, MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(201234.5678, 47123.4567, NULL), NULL, NULL)  

I used Workbench 2022 to clip buildings (composite surfaces) onto an area with the clipper transformer. The buildings at the clipper boundary however are open geometries (refer to screenshot). How can I insert closure surfaces to each boundary building to create closed volumes?I tried to coerce the composite surfaces to a solid and coerce them back to surfaces after the clipping, but the method is not reliable, because most of the solids become faulty. Is there another solution? Best regardsAlex

Hi,I’m trying to save a polygon as a GPX track and am running into an issue. Here’s what I’ve done so far:Converted the polygon to a line using GeometryCoercer Reprojected to EPSG:4326 Created track_id, source, and name attributesThe translation completes successfully, but when I try to open it, I only see the attributes and no geometry. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? 2024-10-29 11_22_11-Window.png

Title says it all, Basically I have a workflow:Adding a prefix to the new attribute results in the new attribute not to have any values.Running with prefix:Running without prefix:  Also if I add a prefix, for example _, and have a new field I wish to extract, i.e. “ID” which should result in a new column “_ID” with values, it instead replaces the original id field with the new values, totally ignoring the requested “_” prefix. Workaround is to rename the original values with a prefix before extracting second set of values from nested json.

I have a workbench where I am reading data from a SDE looking for rows updated in the last 7 days then exporting to an excel file. That is working well. I’m also using mapnikrasteriser to create a map and export a tiff image however the new records have no geometry defined so won't show up on my map.  What would be the best option to calculate geometry for those new records?

I’ve successfully exposed a dozen attributes (see green check marks).  Then something changes in the source JSON not allowing me to pull “records.number” and others below “records”.  What’s different? Thank you!! 

Hello  , this is my first post , and I hope  to receive an answer I have in FME an ESRI license that allows me to read from and write to an Arcsde geodatabase . I'm interested in knowing if anyone has successfully edited specific feature classes , made modifications in a workspace (such as adding data , deleting data or moving points to new positions), and then writed the output back to the the same feature classes after editing  by ArcSDE geodatabase  writer.After editing and modifying the data, I understand that in ArcMap, data typically undergoes compression, tracking which data is added and which is deleted.Is it possible to write the output directly to these compression tables ?  Is this step  necessary to do by FME ?Second question :  about writing into Relationship classes I read an  article https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407490028813-Writing-Geodatabase-Relationship-Classesthat uses an XML workspace as a template for writing to relationship classes, but I didn’t f

Hi all,As part of a development of some routines, I have created a many tab excel file where i inserted Formulae using the AttributeManager and the Cell.Formula naming convention. Due to the nature of the VLOOKUPS i used (dynamically i suppose), i could not do this calculation in FME's Arithmetic Editor.Opening the excel sheet shows the values i do want, given by the formula in the cells. However, when i now come to read this sheet in my next routine, the values are all shown as <missing>. Has anyone encountered this before or have any ideas?Thanks all, kind regards,Jack

Hi all,I have created a custom coordinate system and placed it in the FME documents directory but I can’t access that in CSMapReprojector transformer. Has anyone dealt with this issue? Looking forward to your responses. Thanks

I’ve alluded to my question on a few other posts about FeatureWriters:When FeatureWriter fails there is no output | CommunityAdd a Rejected port to FeatureWriter | CommunityBut figured I’d ask a more directed question in its own posting. I’m in a situation where I want to do some post-processing after writing data to each of my 40 feature types. I have a FeatureWriter for each feature type, in an attempt to catch and do no post-processing for feature types that fail, but continue with post-processing on feature types that write successfully. I’ve come to realize that any FeatureWriter that fails, stops the entire workspace. Setting “Rejected Feature Handling” to “Continue Translation” doesn’t apply to a failed FeatureWriter. The “Rejected port” link above is suggesting adding such a port to the FeatureWriter, which would solve my predicament, at least as I understand it, but it’s not implemented as of FME 2024.1.1, and I don’t know if there are plans to do so. I’ve also tested out sett

I am working with a table from a GeoPackage in FME, reading it and clipping based on intersections between categories. When writing the output, the unclipped parts are successfully written to Writer 1 without any issues in the output GeoPackage. However, the clipped parts are written without geometry, even though I can see the attributes correctly in the visual preview on the attribute expose just before writting. I'm confident that I’ve set the geometry type correctly in the writer. What could I be missing here?    

Hello, i have a question for a scanner. the scanner drive through our city. the scannner makes a couple of rounds per day. But i have many record with a timestamp. between the rounds there is a time diffrent say 1 hour or more. how can i crerate a round number that the scanner makes.for example the scanner start at 7.00 en ends at 10.00  (thats round 1) and then starts at 13.00 and ends at 16.00. (thats round 2) the next day is somewhat the same but the count must go on. Beste Regards Robert

When I update one of my destination folders for my writers, all of the writers are updated to run to the same folder. I don’t know why this is happening.When I try and run the workbench, it runs like normal but then as it’s writing it comes with an error: “CSV writer: Failed to open file 'C:\D_xxxxxxxx.csv' for writing.  Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file.  If the file already exists, please ensure it is not open in another application” after it has written the first file to the folder.This has only been happening since I upgraded my ArcGIS Pro to a newer version that isn’t supported by my current version of FME (which I need to maintain to match the clients version).Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I simply want to create a .CSV reader that should read the following dataset: $(FME_MF_DIR)DIDOK\didok.csv My workbench is on a network disk P: let’s say P:/myworkbench.fmw so I expected that $(FME_MF_DIR) will be P:/. But instead $(FME_MF_DIR) is resolved to C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Temp. So I guess that FME temporarily copy the workbench into C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Temp ? How to prevent this behaviour ?

Hi Community,I have FeatureWriters creating log text files for me depending on various conditions.If the conditions are not fulfilled the files are still generated but empty and emailer still sends those empty files as attachment.How can i stop this from happening, so that only the log files with any values are sent as attachments with email.Thank you

I have a workflow involving three readers (Reader 1, Reader 2, and Reader 3), and I need help setting up conditional logic based on feature counts for a given ID.Here's what I'm trying to achieve: All three readers are filtered by the same ID. Condition 1: If both Reader 1 and Reader 2 have at least one feature for the given ID, then do nothing—no features should be written to the writer. Condition 2: If Reader 1 has at least one feature, but Reader 2 has zero features for the given ID, then: Write the feature from Reader 3 that matches the given ID to the writer. I'm looking for the best way to implement this logic in FME.  Thanks for any advice or examples!

Hi,I use a CSV list with standard ArcGIS server queries + HTTP Caller to get geojsons. a CSV list contains also layer names etc. I use the File option when saving a response because I need a separate geojson file for every query. Everything goes great, however response files look like "http_download_153028689823_5840.json" which is hard to deal with. Actually I can create a folder with a layer name but I would like to have an option to save a response file itself with a meaningful name and keep granular file structure. Ideally I see it as follows: I run a query within my CSV then get some attributes from the same CSV and supply a response filename from HTTP Caller with these attributes on the fly.There is a way to deal with a new Workspace and rename all the files using filecopy (upd - today I have finally managed with DatabaseJoiner for this purpose), but I am interested in a more integrated solution. Thank you in advance!Evgeny

Hi, I have downloaded data from WFS (GML) as xml (attached). It shows the location of a parcel.

I have a request to build a FME workspace that can read a text file and load it into an Oracle database with the filename with a suffix appended as the table name (ie. filename_ext).That is fine, the problem is the column headers and fields will differ, depending on the filetype (file A might have 10 columns, file B will have 17 and the column names will be different between A and B)I’ve considered using a tester that directs the flow to an attributemanager based on a “user parameter”. This becomes problematic if the source text file changes column structure or an additional file type (file C, D and E) is introduced.Is there a way for the text file to be read (as generic in the featurereader), have the attributes exposed, split and output with the 1st row as the column headers. Ideally without having to know the column names prior.Thanks Thomas

Hello FME Community!I’m trying to read a Civil 3D file in FME, but I’m not able to access the specific attributes I need.I'm trying to retrieve Pipe and Structure Data Fields (Attributes), but I'm running into errors. Here are the errors that I’m seeing:```2024-10-27 15:13:47|   5.1|  0.0|ERROR |AutoCAD Reader: An error occurred for dataset 'C:\Users\Dor\OneDrive\Perach\Ayalon\חומר ראשני\R6407_01-RME-DR-SVD.dwg', in function AutoCAD2004Reader::readC3DSchema.
