FME Form

Hello, Im using FME form on macSilicon and ran into an error trying to run simple workspaces: /Library/FME/2024.1/fme is trying to execute itself. Aborting to avoid infinite loop. I managed to solve it temporarily by reinstalling the whole package, but after a while it started giving me the same error.Ive tried different workspaces from the tutorials with the same result, I imagine is something about the setup. Any suggestions can help, thanks!

I am using a python Caller to determine if a value is in a range of two other values which are read from a csv file.For Example:  Is SearchValue LMH_HNR_Z in the range of value PTOa and value PTOb? If yes, set the variable Fall = B3, if not set it to B3f.LMH_HNR_Z = 5, PTOa = 1, PTOb = 10 should return: Fall=3B, LMH_HNR_Z = 11, PTOa=1, PTOb=10 should return: Fall=3Bf  The Code in this picture is part of a bigger function where I discovered the problem but I narrowed the problematic part down to this. The row where the problem happens is this:if (min(PTOa, PTOb) <= LMH_HNR_Z <= max(PTOa, PTOb)):What happens is, that this request randomly returns false even if the search value LMH_HNR_Z is in the range of PTOa and PTOb. The output of some tested values and ranges is also visible in the lower part of this post. I can’t really see a pattern there, maybe one of you?Is som

I have a list of Attributees{}.name That contains attributes for each feature. the element count is variable.I am also using the ListElementExtractor and like how it works but i need from  15-258 attributes to put the list into.is there a way to get the list values out as attributes? or at the very least mmake the list populate (i.e. attr1, attr2, - attr258) in the destination attributes? I am reading the schema from a (blank) gdb with coded domains and WAY too many attributes to use AttributeManager. the purpose is to get the attributes with the correct domain and values so a different schema can be fed into this format and output as gdb with domains intact.

Hi,I have seen a few articles about updating metadata using the ArcSDE writers, which involve writing data and adding metadata simultaneously. However, what I want to do is just add new metadata while leaving the existing data unchanged (without accidentally overwriting it with nothing). I already have my metadata and types formatted as described in the articles I’ve read.xml formatted for esri importHowever, I am struggling to determine the exact settings needed for the writer. Since we don’t have a test system, I want to ensure I’m on the right track before proceeding. That said, I can create some test tables to trial the process. This is a related article which also update the data: 

Hi Everyone, I am working on a project for school and am reading in CAD data and outputting it as GIS data. However, the File Geodatabase writer is not outputting any features. I am setting it up how I’ve always done it in the past, but it is not creating the GDB where specified as the translation log says no features are being written. I have no clue on why this is happening nor how to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A while back I was informed that I needed to update the feature type name of a GPKG that I created with FME.Instead of generating the complete dataset again, I wanted to use a dynamic reader/writer to update just one of the feature type names, and leave the rest intact. However, upon doing so, I got the feedback from our 'data broker' that the GPKG no longer met the geometry requirement (should be single geometries).  When I investigated a bit further, it seems to me that a dynamic GPKG writer assumes multi geometry (in my case multi point), in case the writer is configured to use the Geometry 'From Schema Definition' (fme_point). Ok, I can get my head around that.However, when I then manually set the geometry in the dynamic writer to 'geopackage_point' or 'geopackage_multipoint', the geometry_type_name in the underlying SQLite DB (GPKG is based on this), returns 'GEOMETRY' (I think tied to 'geopackage_geometry&

For my process, I use pythonCaller and I have a JSON-type attribute. However, since the setAttribute function doesn’t recognize the JSON type, I have to use json.dumps() to convert the JSON into a string. I then connect a featureWriter to the output of pythonCaller to write the result in JSON format. However, I don’t understand why the featureWriter reformats the JSON on input. How can I have a correct json formatHere is an example of the file from featureWriter [ { "result_json" : "[{\"millesime\": [{\"2022\": {\"echelles\": {\"Y\": {\"max\": \"20.39\", \"min\": \"18.11\"}, \"X\": {\"max\": 461.0, \"min\": 0}}, \"resultats\": [{\"distance\": 0, \"pixel_value\": \"20.39\"}, {\"distance\": 425.0, \"pixel_value\": \"19.76\"}, {\"distance\": 265.0, \"pixel_value\": \"19.4\"}, {\"distance\": 461.0, \"pixel_value\": \"18.11\"}

We have merged Ascii grid and then classified the Raster using “RasterExpressionEvaluator” the Interpretation is set to UINT8  The color values have been assigned defining the interpretation of the palette as RGB24 using an AttributeCreator and then adding the color values to the RasterPaletteAdder.   

Hi all, I would like to use an existing FME reader to open a file with an unsupported extension. Is there a workaround to achieve this? Alternatively, how can I clone an existing reader and modify it to support the desired file extension? Thanks a lot! 🤓hp

hello,Despite reading all post about my problem i could not succed in solving my problem.error message is : “Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'qgis'” 

Hi everyone,I am trying to match attributes and write the matching part of the substrings into a new attribute. The following table explains it best: 1 2 3 4 match 03.02.06.03.02.01 03.02.06.03.04 03.02.06.03.02.02 03.02.06.04.03.01 03.02.06 03.02.06.03.04.02 03.02.06.03.09.01 03.02.06.03.01.01 03.02.06.03.04.01 03.02.06.03 03.01.04.05 03.01.04     03.01.04  Note that the fields may also be empty and should then be ignored and not all strings are the same lenght. I am also trying to match from the start of the string only.  The only idea that came to me so far is to create lists for each attribute using the attribute splitter and then use conditionals to compare eac

Hi this puzzles me: using FME(R) 2022.2.3.0 (20230131 - Build 22789 - WIN64), when reading an Open File Geodatabase from a zip file, features are duplicated. I created and attached a template which demonstrates the error. The workspace uses two readers to demonstrate the phenomena, both of type File Open Geodatabase.The first reader reads from ..\test.zip\test.gdb The second reader reads from ..\test.gdbRecords on the first reader are duplicated. When reading from just test.zip the duplication does not take place. Is this behaviour as meant to be?

Hi all,I have been informed by our IT department about the requirement to ensure that the publisher of our Azure app is verified by Microsoft. You can find more information on the publisher verification process here: Publisher Verification Overview.Could anyone from the confirm if this verification process is already being arranged, or if there are any steps that we need to follow to initiate this process?

Hi,I have a layer with closed polygons. On top of these polygons lies a layer with smaller areas. These areas are divided into 3 types.Each type of area needs to be assigned a year, and the total area per table type should be approximately equal within the larger area.How can I create a distribution where each type of area is used, and the total area of each type is approximately equal?How could I achieve this with FME?

Hi All,How can I force FME to use ArcMap 10.8 for reading GDB instead of ArcPro 3.x? I have a workflow that needs to use ArcMap because of a python script and everything works fine on my machine, my current versions of FME (2018, 2020, 2023...etc) use ArcMap to read GDB. Happy days. See below: One my colleagues also uses the same workflow, same version of ArcMap and FME but his workflow goes to ArcGIS Pro instead to ArcMap,How can I force FME to use ArcMap to read/write GDBs?Thanks :)

Currently we are using FME work bench to connect to S/4 via OData, however there are performance issues with using Odata, Is there any threshold limit uptil which FME can support the data extract using Odata without any performance issue. Any document or any recommendation from SAFE.What are the other options to connect to S/4 Rise if we do not want to use OData, our FME will be in AWS .What all config options we have other than OData to get rid of the performance issues. If at all there are other options available what all are the components needed to have the same Please help urgent

I’m encountering this error and am at a loss. Everything in workbench (SQLCreator - Attribute Mgr - Excel Writer) seems to work fine, up until it gets to the writer. Excel Writer: Failed to write an attribute of type 'string' with value 'XMLDATA' to row '0' column '-1015942868'. Error message is 'col must be in range 0-16383'.

I’m trying format the headers of an excel file. I’m attempting to use a template but can’t get it to work. The output always has a tab that is formatted like the template, and a tab with the data without the formatted headers. I’d like to write the data to the formatted tab. Is this possible?  

I’m querying databases using SQL Creator and have a Where clause date > ‘$(dateuserparameter)’.  I would like the dateuserparameter default value to be yesterday’s date, for example ‘2024-10-07’.  Is it possible to set the parameter’s default value to be yesterday’s date?

We want to automatically write 3D data to an existing 3DScene in ArcGIS Online. The data consists of borehole samples (geometry simple 3D-cylinder). We have tried using the Esri Indexed 3D Scene Layer-writer but the output does not show correctly and we can't create pop-ups showing the attribute data (although it looks like it's there). We're not sure why this doesn't work but figured we'd try here first to see if we can get any pointers to a best practice. So, can anyone please help shed some light on the best way of doing this - updating 3D-data to an existing 3D-scene in ArcGIS Online? (We will want to be able to do this also with mesh-data... for instance a ground model.)
