FME Form

I’m reading a GPKG table, and when I view the data in the Data Inspector, I notice that FME removes some small holes in my polygons. How can I prevent this from happening?

I use a Sorter to sort on some attributes.When using the Dissolver with a GroupBy attribute and the Accumulation Mode ‘Use Attributes From One Feature’ after the Sorter I assumed the attributes are taken from the first feature of the sorted group. (Basically the same behavior as for a combination of Sorter/Matcher or Sorter/DuplicateFilter).However the Dissolver seems to work differently. The considered feature seems to be random (maybe a geometry condition drives which feature “wins”?).So the question is, how can I use the Dissolver so that always the first feature of my sorted group “wins”?I have an ugly mitigation flow with Tester, Duplicate Filter, AttributeKeeper, FeatureJoiner which is not really smart but cumbersome.Any ideas?Klaus (Version: FME Forms 2024.1.0 WIN64)

Hi,I am wondering if someone can give me some ideas on how I could pass the result of a sql query from a sql executor so that the result or specifically an ID is passed sequentially so that each is fully processed before the next one starts. So the result is as shown below. The attribute I’d like to pass one by one is either the device_id or the row_index.I have had a look at this post iterating/looping a workspace using attribute values | Community but cannot formulate the workbench to do this task.Any suggestions very welcome.Thank you.fb

Has anybody experienced an issue starting FME Form (tried from v2023.2.1 to v2024.2) when having 3 displays connected.We have 2 LG 24MP60G 1080p monitors conected to a Dell Alienware X15 R1 (Intel Core i7-11800H 4.20Ghz, nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6, 32 GB DDR4). In this setup FME opens as a blank white windows.If we disconnect any monitor FME starts as usual.Please let me know if anybody else experienced something similar or if this is a known issue.

I am working with a script that transfers data from one SDE to another SDE. Currently, the script does not ensure that the relationship between a feature and its attachment remains intact. To address this, I extended the workspace based on the guidelines in this article: Writing ArcGIS Geodatabase Attachments.This solution worked fine when transferring data from one GDB to another GDB using the same data model. However, when we run the script from one SDE to another SDE with the same data model and data, it fails and I encounter the following error messages: Failed to retrieve origin row for a relationship feature with OBJECTID '3' from table/feature class 'BAGGERWERK_WATERLOPEN' GeodatabaseRelationshipFeaturesPipeline::GeodatabaseRelationshipFeatures (SortFactory): A fatal error has occurred.

My team has a workspace that has ran thousands of times before that has started failing in two different ways. The first failure does not actually trigger FME to fail, it stalls out on the ContourGenerator and does not move. Memory space, RAM, CPU usage, and GPU usage are all fine, none of them spike or max out. In fact RAM usage is quite low. Other times it will fail, at the same spot and give this error:An error occurred. FME will attempt to obtain more information on the error, but this may cause the translation to be terminatedAn error occurred. Here is the information that FME was able to find on the errorget_next_capacity, allocator's max size reachedI found this post from four years ago suggesting to just contact the support team. Any ideas before I do so, or is that still the recommended route to take?Ve

Hi,FME Server 2022.2.1 Express install.Connecting out via proxy (not authenticated).https is not enabled on tomcat I've published an OAuth2 connection to the FME Server and am trying to Authorize it. Proxy is configured in the FME settings. Client ID and Secret is all set up correctly, including the redirect URI as I can get to the OAuth sign-in page for the app. However when supplying my credentials the token/code is being sent to http://<server><port>/fmeoauth but it just returns an error page "FME OAuth Service FAILED" "Failed to complete". I've also tried to use the ip address of the proxy to no avail. I'm guessing it is a tomcat redirecting issue but can't see any previous info related to modifying the server.xml or OAuth config file in the install folder.

I have a dataset, representing a road network, in a Geographic Lat/Long coordinate reference system. The area covers three UTM zones.I want to calculate the length of roads / polylines with metres as the unit of measurement.What transformer should I use?

Connection to postgres seem not to close after query execution to postgres db. We are here allowed to have 5 connections to the postgres db and with the SQLExecution for each feature entering the transformer, a connection is established but seem not to close after the the query has been executed. After 5 features have entered the sqlExecutor I receive an error message: Error connecting to PostgreSQL database.....................: 'FATAL: too many connections for role "xxxxxxx"Is there a way to close the connection after each featue that enters the SQLExceutor? We are using FME 2021.1

I use the AIXM 5.1 Reader with the default settings to read all AirspaceTimeSlice. Some of them are missing geometry. For example, I have a feature which uses xlink:href  to reference the geometry of a CTR. The CTR in itself has an UNION and consists of two CTR's which are also referenced with xlink:href. How can I get FME to get this geometry. It somehow doesn't seem to follow up on the xlink:href. I use FME Desktop 2019.2.3.1

I have 4/5 layers of rasters representing the geological horizons. I want to visualize the layers in 3D voxel. what the result look something  like this. Is there a way to get this with fme? 

I have a layer that contains 2 point line features i.e. start and end only, and I want to convert the start and end to points but have a count that keeps the parts in order. For example the start of the first line has count of 1 and the end of that line a count of 2, then the next line, start point would be 3 and end point would be 4. Each line has an ID so was thinking to try and group the points by line ID and then apply the count but can’t get the grouping to work as expected.   

Hi, Im trying to write approx 17.000 rows into an existing feature service in AGOL. I get the error "entity too large for url", so I assume its too many rows. I have tested with a few rows, and that works fine.  I have tried now to use the ModuloCounter and a TestFilter to split into smaller groups, and then add multiple AGOL-writers, so they only write one group at the time. Im not sure this is the best way to go, as I would the need a lot of writers. Another is to use the FeatureWriter to do the same, but I would still need to do the setup for all the groups, so not sure if thats ideal.  Does anyone have any better suggestion? Best,Anne Kathrine

With a permanent licence fme desktop hit much engines do we have available ?

Hello all ! I need to create CSV where value will end  with a semicolon. I can do it using AttributeManager > @SetValue(SUP); but in that case it would add “ “ between attribute because it is converted to varchar. I need it without those “ “ but can’t manage to do it.Example below : 1st is my output and second is what i want. Only difference is those “ “.PS : Title is correctly formattedCODE_AL;NUM_AL;LIBELLELOL;LIBELLEC;SECTSTAT;ANCIENNE_C;NOUVELLE_C;CODE_POSTAL;PRO;REGION;PAYS;POP;SUP10;10;GEROMPONT Avenue des Déportés 74;GEROMPONT ;25122C11-;Gérompont;Ramillies;1367;Brabant Wallon;Région Wallonne;BELGIQUE;82;"0,099368;"CODE_AL;NUM_AL;LIBELLELOL;LIBELLEC;SECTSTAT;ANCIENNE_C;NOUVELLE_C;CODE_POSTAL;PRO;REGION;PAYS;POP;SUP10;10;GEROMPONT Avenue des Déportés 74;GEROMPONT ;25122C11-;Gérompont;Ramillies;1367;Brabant Wallon;Région Wallonne;BELGIQUE;82;0,099368;

I would like to find for each green point the closest orange building limited by the parcel border the green points are situated in. See the attached image below. The neighbourfinder should do the the trick but should not search in adjacent parcels for closeby buildings. Any suggestions? Ps. This is a snapshot of my data. I have about 700 green points and their parcels and buildings. 

Hello, In the case of having a permanent FME Desktop license, can it be reused on new machines ( i want to use it only in one engine so i would like to know is it possible to use it in anothe engine), or do we need to purchase new ones?

I have a dataset with spikes, and I want to flag records with spikes for manual inspection.I am aware of the SpikeRemover transformer. Is there a method of just detecting spikes? Not removing them but just flagging them? I would prefer to do a manual fix.

Wondering if FME can read QR-codes from images. Input is folder with images with QR-codes and some other content. FME should determine where to save those files based on the QR-code so just be able to read the code within workspace. Has anyone tried doing something like this? 

Hello,I’m having a hard time figuring out why a json file created with a Text Writer is not accepted by the GoogleBigQueryConnector.I have an original JSON Key File downloaded from Google Cloud for the Service Account we are using to authenticate to BigQuery. This JSON file works fine and I am able to authenticate and select the Dataset I want to upload data as well as the table in that Dataset.The problem is that since I have to use a system environment variable and specify the service account key file location in that variable in order for the GoogleBigQueryConnector to be able to use Service Account instead of Web Connection, it seems the GBQC takes the project_id specified inside that json file and uses it as default project to log you in, which means that even if you have access to different projects in BigQuery you can only access 1 project per Service Account Key File.Here is an image of the error I get for when the GBQC tries to use the JSON file

Hi,I have a workspace the reads json files: I need to publish this to Flow, and configure parameters to enable the user in Flow to read files from a certain folder. This will change several times, and I do not mind this part being a manual process.I am unsure of exactly how to configure this.I have set up a Folder and Pathnames user parameter:I have configured it to select Folders, and called this “SourceDataset_PATH”. I have then configured the parameter for the json reader to point at the SourceDataset_PATH parameter.

I have been unable to find a up to date compilation of the AI transformers and connections available in FME, is there such a thing?Specifically, I want to do some experiments with reverse image lookups.

I have a series of Feature Services in ArcGIS Online.  Unfortunately they contain attribute names of varied case. This is proving difficult for me when I try to create a dynamic workflow that updates the data in ArcGIS online.  When the Reader reads the source data (also of varied case), it converts them all to lower case.Therefore, when my workflow tries to write to ArcGIS online, it cannot find matching attributes to write to because the case is different.It is now too late for me to change all the layers on ArcGIS online to lower case because of downstream dependencies. Will I have to write a separate workflow for each individual layer and individually do the field mapping?Or is there a way around this ?
