FME Form

Which version of FME Desktop/Flow supports “Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader/Writer”? I want to re-project MapInfo Tables in the GIS database. Currently I’m using FME Desktop 2022.1. Is there any alternative transformer I can use to re project the objects in the live database? 

Hello,I’ve had a workbench running on FME Server and FME Desktop 2022.2 perfectly fine through the last 2 years. Suddenly, it’s throwing an error HTTP Transfer error: Transferred a partial file. I tested it with FME Server and FME Desktop 2022.2 and get the same error. When I access the url through a browser, it perfectly downloads the zip file. But the HTTPCaller fails. Request Url: https://static.aer.ca/prd/data/wells/PLA_RTF_SHP.zipAny insights would be greatly appreciated.Thank you. Sample below for testing purposes, attempting to download the file in my local.HTTPCaller settings:  Error:

Hi, We are deploying FME Desktop 2022.2 in our server (it’s a virtual machine).  The security team had done a security scan and expected us to upgrade the FlexNet Publisher to version 11.19.6.0 or later. However, the FlexNet installer downloaded from this link (https://fme.safe.com/downloads/) is Build 11.19.2. And it looks like bonding with FME Desktop so that we cannot upgrade FlexNet Publisher individually. How can I upgrade the version of FlexNet to version 11.19.6.0 or later? Thanks in advance. Best Regards,Qubbie

Room output from an Architectural Revit model are solids. I need room polygons and I’m not finding a transformer that will do this.  Each floor of the model has a floor elevation value which would be perfect for slicing the room objects.FME version 2024.1

Hello everyone, I transformed some Orthophtos in a new coordination system and the nodata areas are black. How can I make these areas transparent? (The output data formats are TIFF and JPEG.)(I have read the related discussions, but couldn’t find the solution for my case.) Thank you for your help!  

Hi,I have encountered a problem. I have built a script that reads in from several SHP files followed by multiple SpatialFilters against another SHP file (A). The aim of my script is to check which polygons from (A) intersect with any of the other SHP files. I never know how many polygons from (A) will intersect because it is regularly updated.So, here is my problem. The result of this is a CSV and an SHP that contains the polygons that have intersected, and all the attributes from the SHP it checks against are appended. I want to remove all the attribute columns that contain only missing as values, but I have not been able to do that. The result can contain up to 25-30 different attributes! I have tried AttributeManager, NullAttributeMapper, and PythonCaller, but I can't make anything work.Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Hi,I have FTP Link, User, and PasswordHow Can I download a file using FTPCaller?Thank you for your assistance  

I am using Survey123 that generates a feature point at a default location. Every new point contains the name of the Road and from to information for the line segment. I am wondering whether there is a way to auto move that point right on top of the line segment using the Road Name information.Is there any functionality in FME that would allow me to move those points?

Hi,I’m getting data from a streaming source (Kafka) that contains multiple geometry per feature read in WKT. To process the geometry, I “desaggregate” the feature first, produce a geometry from the WKT string, then try to aggregate it back with the Aggregator transformer. As stream processing doesn’t allow blocking transformers, I have set the Group Processing parameter to “When Group Changes”.My issue with this solution is that the feature leave the Aggregator only when effectively, the group changes which means when a new feature is read… I was wondering if there was a way to force the output of the latest feature, or if it was possible to make the process “Desaggregate/Produce geometry/Aggregate back” treat one feature per feature. Edit: this is most probably possible with a PythonCaller, I’m wondering if there was a “native” solution.

Hello,  What is the best way to extract metadata from a shapefile? This would include Title, Tags, Summary, Description, Credits, Field Names, and Summaries. I want to export the metadata to an Excel spreadsheet.I am looking for some ideas on what transformers to use. 

Hi,My goal is to read multiple (unknown) Hosted Feature Layers (HFLs) from an AGOL group and write those to ArcGIS Enterprise (11.3). I can successfully specify a single HFL in my FeatureReader and using an Automated schema in my FeatureWriter, specify each individual layer and write it to Enterprise. As I need this to work for multiple HFLs, most with multiple layers, I need to use a dynamic schema in my FeatureWriter. As soon as I do this, my workbench fails. Every time I switch to a dynamic writer, using the fme_feature_type as layer name and schema from schema feature, the workbench fails due to these errors:Message Type: fme::internal::_v0::py::ExceptionPython Exception <KeyError>: 'My_HFL_Name'ARCGISPORTALFEATURES writer: An error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details I’ve tried everything I can think of to get this working and cannot understand what I’m possibly doing wrong. Any help would be

In the exercise: "Add Appearances to a 3D City Model" I have a problem with the "AppearanceSetter" transformer because I cannot get the colors in the buildings in the PDF output, as described by Liz Sanderson. I always get them in RED in both cases, namely: "AppearancesRed" and "AppearancesBlue". I have run the workspace as I downloaded it but both types of buildings always come out in RED in the PDF.https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407543263373-Add-Appearances-to-a-3D-City-Model

 Bonjour,je veux d’automatiser le téléchargement et la mise à jour des données accessibles via les plateformes de diffusion de données géographiques (IGN : BDTOPO, BDCARTO, etc., OSM, DREAL…).Actuellement, je travaille sur la partie automatisation du téléchargement dans FME, qui consiste à moissonner ces données. J’ai déjà fait quelques avancées, mais je sollicite votre aide sur des conseils; liens utiles  ou des pistes afin d’approfondir mes travaux..En vous remerciant d’avance. 

Hi,When using HTTPCaller with an authorization header with a bearer token, the token appears in the log.How can I prevent this ?I’m using FME desktop and server version 2021 so LOG_FILTER_MASK doesn’t work. Updating the version is not a solution. The bearer token is obtained at runtime so I can’t put it in a private parameter (PP cannot be updated at runtime).Thanks.

Bonjour, Je rencontre des difficultés depuis plus d'une semaine pour lire et transformer un fichier raster étendu au format ECW (orthophotographie avec une résolution de 5 cm et une taille de 30 Go) sur ue version FME 2020.  Je sollicite des aides.Merci d’avance Mouhamed 

In some tables stored in an Oracle database there are more than one spatial column.The reader can't read all the spatial columns but it reads onnly the first column it encounteres.how to read an Oracle multi spatial column table with FME Workbench?Emilio De Palma 

I’m wondering whether the dashboard workspaces for various versions are available online anywhere.I note that this question has kind of been asked before for a couple of reasons, most commonly that a restore and overwrites the dashboard workspaces of a new FME Flow installation.While it’s probably best practice to download the workspaces before the restore occurs, with the best answer for the previous question was for the workspaces to be attached (attachment is no longer available though), I’m wondering if it would be possible to have some hosted or available online, potentially via the FME Hub.As always, thanks in advance.

Hello!I generated a CityGML building model from an fbx model. The model could be opened in FZKViewer but the view is very strange. I could see the textures in the back when I am on the front view. It is like the surface in front of me becomes a very transparent glass.This happens at all of the sides of the model except the roof and ground surface. When I turn off the texture, everything is back to normal. Is it the problem of the texture? How could I check if it is on the texture and how could it be fixed? 

Hi community, I am using FME Workbench 2024.1 to create parquet files. Those files contain DateTime columns. It seems as those DateTime columns are missing a codec flag in order to enable the loading in other software (Dremio in my user case). Using parquet-tools we can see the problem:java -jar parquet-tools-1.9.0.jar schema ~/Downloads/part0.parquet can not read class org.apache.parquet.format.FileMetaData: Required field 'codec' was not present! Struct: ColumnMetaData(type:INT64, encodings:[RLE_DICTIONARY, PLAIN, RLE], path_in_schema:[_transaction_ts], codec:null, num_values:66, total_uncompressed_size:95, total_compressed_size:113, data_page_offset:35, dictionary_page_offset:4, statistics:Statistics(max:EC 90 D1 36 42 42 10 18, min:EC 90 D1 36 42 42 10 18, null_count:0), encoding_stats:[PageEncodingStats(page_type:DICTIONARY_PAGE, encoding:PLAIN, count:1), PageEnc

Hi all,I’m looking for assistance with calculating the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) in FME for a dataset containing annual cash flows grouped by a RecordID attribute.I’ve attached a sample CSV file ("Annual_cashflows_by_RecordID") that includes the data I’m working with. Each RecordID represents a unique group of annual cash flow amounts. My goal is to calculate the IRR for each RecordID.From my research, it seems the best approach is to use a PythonCaller transformer, but I’m not familiar with Python coding or how to configure this transformer for the task.If anyone has experience with similar calculations or can provide guidance on setting up the necessary transformers (or Python script), I would greatly appreciate your help!Cheers,

I have a workflow that assesses the proximity of points along lines. These points extend along a series of line segments of varying lengths. For instance, the distances to the next points might be 0ft (the start), 100ft, 100ft, 200ft, and 250ft, so I would like for the corresponding field next to these values to display 0ft, 100ft, 200ft, 400ft, and 650ft, etc. I am aware of the workflow to find cumulative sums (Attribute Creator>Statistics Calculator>Attribute Renamer). While this processes as described, I regret that the cumulative sums do not “reset” when there’s more than one batch of point data within the feature table (the initial point of an additional batch of points simply takes the prior set’s end sum and begins adding new distances from there). If there’s a way to prompt the cumulative sums to account for new “initial” points in a feature dataset and so start from scratch each time, I would greatly appreciate any insight on how to prompt that to occur.

I have a requirement to modify the list attribute generated on schema port.Lets say my schema scanner have default attributes name, fme data type and native data type.I want to look on name attribute and find any of its elements have OBJECTID string and remove if it is present.I try to modify list attributes using python caller. It modifies the list elements when I overwrite using feature.setAttribute method it is not working and returns original schema attributes unmodified. Any help using python would be highly appreciable. 

I’m trying to output all property sets from IFC files into separate Excel sheets. So far I’ve found all of the property sets, their attributes and their attribute values. This is my data:What I would like to do is transpose this list into separate lists for each property set like so: After that I could simply write each list to separate Excel sheets, but this is where I get stuck. I create the sheets by feeding the writer from a DuplicateFilter, but how do I join each PsetAttribute to Pset as well as transpose the data so each PsetAttribute is a single column?I need to do it without knowing the exact names or number of property sets existing in each IFC file as well.

Hi, I have a lot of polygons. I want to identify these ones who contain arcs.option: the polygon is made of lines onlythe polygon is made of lines and arcsI want to filter out all the polygons that contain lines only (option 1). I want to keep the ones that contain arcs (option 2). I tried the geometry property extractor but all polygons are always rejected : MISSING_GEOMETRY_PROPERTY as the error message. I don’t understand why. pls advise. 

"Failed to free sufficient memory to reach the process usage limit"This warning is appearing my log files. What do I need to do about it? What is the potential impact if nothing is done?As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the output files the script is creating.
