Avoid if else() structure in FMETemplater to generate empty lines in the output.

We used an XMLTemplater (2022.2) to generate an xml message using Excel file input with some optional columns.The XML template contains some if structures like this :            {            if (fme:has-attribute("STATUS")) then <Info> <keyName>STATUS</keyName> <value>{fme:get-attribute("STATUS")}</value> </Info>            else()            }The output xml is correct, but contains empty lines for every missing column, which we want to avoid.Leaving out the else() clause is not allowed as it results in a parsing error.How can we avoid those empty lines in the output xml ?

Why is the CSV reader truncating my string value but displaying the correct one?

It looks like it displays the correct value but for some reason when you click on it or look in the "Feature Information" it looks like it's the truncated version of my string. When I try to preform other operations it'll use that truncated version too which sucks.

retain order and data type of attributes in automatic workflow

I’m creating an automatic process to read in data in a feature reader and then output same attributes in the same order that they were read in, to an oracle spatial writer.I have set up user parameters in the FeatureReader for both the data to be read in and attributes to expose(.csv) however the order of attributes is not retained and neither is the data type. Currently, the attributes are alphabetised and they are all given the same data type of “varchar2”.Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.

Move polygons to become adjacent without changing shape

Hello FME Experts! I have been struggling with this for several weeks and I'm hoping someone may have some insight.  I have a set of data that contains buildings that were manually digitized from roofline data. From this set, I have scaled the polgyons based on the type of roofline (scaling factors predetermined). This resulted in some properties with multiple roofline types to separate from each other. Think of a home with some steep and less steep rooflines - the scaling was done on each polygon. In addition, I used @Takashi Iijima​ 's workbench and modified it slightly to right angle polygons where possible.  Now, I have an issue because I have polygons that should be adjacent (have shared boundaries) but because of the scaling, they are no longer attached (and because these were manually digitized, there were previous gaps in the data).  I would like to physically MOVE the polygons to allow them to have a shared boundary without changing the shape (much).  I tried using a c

Lack of precision with Arc Intersection Points: They Do Not Actually Intersect

I am trying to generate a point coordinate at the midpoint of Arcs. These Arcs have a very large radius and a tiny sweep, so they look like lines, but they are parts of a larger Arc. Whether I try the arc.GetMidPoint() method, or use Intersector with a crossing line, the point is always off. When I run the features through the SpatialRelator, it returns 0 _related_suppliers. It looks fine at first glance, but zooming in reveals that the intersection point really is NOT intersecting. My hunch is that this is due to the Point being calculated as a float. When using the Intersector or PointOnLineOverlayer, it actually changes the shape of the Arc! Here are some pics to illustrate:Midpoint of Arc at a distance Intersection point at a distance."Intersected" Point from Intersector lines (purple), with actual Arc (grey) close up. It intersects with the Intersector-created Arc, but not with the input Arc:Here is what I am running the features through to verify. Note: If I

ShortestPathFinder: Do intermediate stops on the From-To line need to correspond to a topological node or just a vertex on the network?

I have a linear network that I have processed with the TopologyBuilder. I have a second linear network that I defines the from-to lines for the ShortestPathFinder. My concern is that the polylines in the two linear networks are segmented differently, for example, the Topology Edges are segmented at intersections and the From-To lines are segmented at mile markers.  Is it necessary that the segmentation of the two networks aligns or just that the From-To vertices correspond to points on the Topology_Edges?

Namespace Prefix of Feature Type Exported by CityGML Writer

Hello All, Currently I'm converting CityGML 2.0 from IFC4. The IFC file is a building model. So normally the exported CityGML feature types should be under Building module, which are named with "bldg" as the namespace prefix, e.g. bldg:Building, bldg:BuildingInstallation, bldg:WallSurface, etc. However, I found some feature types of the exported CityGML were assigned to Bridge module. Although I can turn on "Add XML Namespace Prefix to Feature Types" (found in the parameters of CityGML Writer), and make the feature types "brid:Door"/"brid:Window" to "bldg:Door"/"bldg:Window".  I'm just wondering why the feature types "Door" and "Window" will be assigned to Bridge module by default. Or is there any mechanism to decide which module will be assigned to?  Thanks in advance.Regards,Qubbie

Using DateTimeStamper with FeatureWriter

Is there any easy way to add a date stamp to output file names when using the FeatureWriter? I am outputting Excel files that have multiple tabs with multiple separate inputs, from multiple data sources. The only way I could figure out how to do this without the FeatureWriter splitting up the different feature types into separate files is to add the DateTimeStamper to each data source, make sure it is kept all through the Workspace, and then take off the _timestamp attribute from each Feature Type in the Attribute list on the FeatureWriter. What a pain! Surely there is a better way? I tried to create a User Parameter, but it did not work. Any hints on this?  Thanks, -L

Set up the HTTP Caller to extract data from rest API

Hi!I am trying to get data (exchange rates) via a Rest API. I am a very beginner in using Rest API:s.By now, I start with a creator and connect than the HTTP Caller. However, I have difficulties to set up the HTTP Caller and get a connection.I use the following url: https://api.riksbank.se/swea/v1/Observations/SEKEURPMI/2022-01-01/2022-12-31 HTTP/1.1 The API needs a so called Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key. It contains of 32 numbers and letters.I guess this should be defined in the header, but how would I do this in FME? There is no such parameter available, is it?To access the API portal username and password are required. Do I have to use this username and password in the "Use Authentication" section or does it refere to the username and password of the API itself? Thank you so much in advance.
