FME Form

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 Team,I am using the following xml snippet (thru postman) to get the response and i get the response from postman. it is working good. Now the same thing i need to achieve thru FME. Please help me on what transformer to be used? and how can i pass the parameters?can httpcaller do this? i tried with http caller using GET methos but Response is NULL.  <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:test="http://www.synchronoss.com/spatialSUITE/test"> <soap:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"> <wsa:Action>HubTraceB7</wsa:Action> <wsa:To>

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.

Hello,I am struggling with a similar problem as this post (I think?).  One of my attributes in the Workspace contains a 0 or 1 that is used as a Boolean.  The value has been assigned the datatype ‘buffer’ in AttributeCreator and ‘string’ in the FeatureWriter, which outputs an Excel file.  I am using a template, where the cell format is set to ‘General’.For some reason, the Excel file that is generated will give me inconsistent formatting of the attribute value:  What is going on here??? As you can see, even though they all should be interpreted as strings, some of the values become numbers.  The formula bar do

I have a dataset that has customer data, vehicle data, planned driving distance (with a bunch of other scrubbed attributes).  In this data, there are many days when a customer was not planned to have accumulated any distance but did use a machine.  If the planned driving distance to date is missing, I want to copy the value for the previous planned_Driving_dist_to_date that has a value, but I want this sorted by date and grouped by customer and machine.   The attached spreadsheet shows my dataset. 

Hello, All my data is in Excel spreadsheets. All the schemas are the same.I have two readers:The Updates Reader includes the 3 records that have been changed. These 3 records already exist in the Address Reader spreadsheet.The Address Reader is the original spreadsheet that includes these 3 records before they were updated. I would like these updates written to the Addresses Writer which creates a new excel spreadsheet with the 3 records updated but no new records added. In my workbench here, I run it, and the results are the 3 records are added to the 95,393 thus the new spreadsheet has 95,396 records in it. Having the 3 records added results in having 6 duplicate records whereas previously there were no duplicate records. I need the Addresses output to be 95,393 records with the 3 records I mention previously updated. I have tried changing all the parameters in the Writer with no success. The results are always the same, 95,396.

Hi,I'm using the Raster Mosaicker to create a mosaic with overlapping images. However, the final result generates 'shadows' as shown in the image below. What is the best configuration or additional transformer I can use to solve this problem?Thank you 

Hi there I would like to scrape the data from this page. So want the lat/longs of the pins on the map and the background water outage data. I can't find an easy way to scrape the data and am just going around in circles trying to extract the data. https://www.ccc.govt.nz/services/water-and-drainage/water-supply/maintenance-and-repairs/water-status-map/#12  

When writing to Geotiff I would like Band interleaved by Pixel (BIP, interleaved RGBRGB) rather than Band Sequential (BSQ, per channel RRGGBB) interleaving but whichever option I use, the Geotiff always saves using Band Sequential interleaving.I have checked using Photoshop and also GDALinfo and both agree that INTERLEAVE=BAND rather than PIXEL. Is this a bug/can anyone else replicate this?

Bonjour,J’ai une table avec plusieurs colonnes (23) chaque colonne à la valeur 0, 1, 2 ou 3 dedans.

Hello :)Here is what I am doing: I am working with FME-Flow and FME Workbench 2023.1.1. I have geodata in the form of .csv-files and am using a simple CSV-Reader ➡ MSSQL-Writer to create my datatable in my MSSQL-database (see attached image for FME-script). The datasets are saved to the ‘dbo’-schema and work without problem in GIS (QGIS in this case). This is done for a number of CSV-files. As an example I have shown the summary annotation for the dataset ‘ov_boende_aldre’.What’s the issue? When FME writes to the MSSQL database, the resulting datatable(s) is/are not recognized by the systems view ‘geometry_columns’ (se image below). Why not? When creating a dataset directly in MSSQL or in GIS (QGIS, for example), the dataset appears in said systems view. What can be the issue here? Any secret sauce to make FME create the dataset correctly that I am just missing?All help and hints are appreciated. Also, if you are aware

Hello, I’m trying to dynamically add a suffix to selected attributes using BulkAttributeRenamer.  I want the suffix to be the day the script is run and expressed in YearMonthDay.Example: the attribute is “addresses_count_“ and using the BulkAttributeRenamer and running the script on the 24.10.2024 I want it to be “addresses_count_20241024”.I tried using UserParameters. The first parameter I made was a Text Type Parameter where before the script is run the User needs to input by hand the Date. It has a few flaws. For example, the user may enter the wrong date, the date is not entered automatically by the script and will not always be processed correctly by BulkAttributeRenamer.The second UserParameters I made and think it is the right way to do it is a Scripted Type Parameter. Below you can see what I made.I have no

I know that there is a reader parameter for file geodatabases to only read in spatial data, but is there a way to only read in attribute data? I have an FME workflow that involves working with all of the attribute data and there is no need for me to read in the spatial data/geometry. However, my tool is getting hung up/stuck when reading in features from the file geodatabase - I suspect there's a multi-part feature with geometry issues, so I want to revise the tool to simply read in attribute data & not spatial data.  Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,I’m using HTTPCaller to retrieve a set of data via an API that I know works, as I tested it in Postman. The problem with HTTPCaller is that the response_body is not as full as what I received in Postman (I don’t have the full result), so I cannot continue with my process.I don't know if anyone can help?Thanks!

I have over 30 000 .png files that have been georeferenced. However, some of the files have up to 3 or four bands when only 1 band is necessary. So I want to change this.  I want to change the number of band from 4 or 3 to 1 for each file and then replace the old one with the new så I dont loose the accompanied georeferencing files. I also want some type of iterator for this, since i have my files in a directory tree: Directory → Subdir → folder → Files

Hello,I am creating buffer polygons for points, but I would like to loop through the newly created buffers and associate them with subsequent points that fall within the new buffer.If 2 points are next to each other, the first point would be buffered and the second point would be associated with that buffer.Thank you.

Hello,I have a API request working in postman, but cant get it to work via FME. If I could see the request headers/body, etc I would be able to debug the issue by comparing the working request vs the fme request.Does anyone have any ideas how I can see this?Thanks

I’m not sure if there is already a Hub or Custom Transformer for this, but posting my own version up called “FeaturePrioritizer” for any comments or use.  I may upload this to the Hub if some belief is useful. 😉FeaturePrioritizer is a helper when the user needs to change the order of Features coming out of an Output Port to feed into a downstream Transformer or Writer that has a dependency on the order that features come into it.This is commonly needed when needing to say: Make sure that the first feature entering a Writer/FeatureWriter is a Schema Feature, or say when using an Aggregator that the output Attribute Parameter has been set to take only a single feature in the group (Eg.. The first feature in the group to enter the Transformer)  to use as the Attribute output.Not much to it, behind the scenes this just uses a temporary sorting ID and a Sorter, but puts this all into a single Custom Transformer to make it easier.As an exa
