We have a reader plugin (c++) that should be able to set aggregated/ multiple geometry to an IFMEFeature.For example:We have only several IFMEGeometry objects. These IFMEGeometry objects should be set to an IFMEFeature. So that we have finally an IFMEFeature that consists of several different geometry objects/ parts.                                                         IFMEFeatureIFMEGeometry_Part_1    IFMEGeometry_Part_2    ….      IFMEGeometry_Part_nfme_type = fme_areafme_geometry = fme_aggregatefme_feature_type = DepthArea How can we solve this? 

I am trying to compare the total of features from my original data source to the number of features  ultimately written to a dataset.   I thought I’d create a variable from Statistics Calculator result to refer to in my Tester.    Is there a way to reference the global variable I have set within the Tester phrase ?If not, is there an efficient way of comparing the stats between the beginning and the end ? 

Hi,I’ve tried a few times to do this over the years but I haven’t been successful. What I want to do is convert a set of cubemap images into on equirectangular panorama. Kind of like this:I know there are a lot of free python solutions of Github, but I haven’t been able to get any of them to successfully work. I’m not particularly good a python and I don’t want to install any script packages. I’d prefer to do this entirely within FME as I am already loading in the images.Would anyone know a solution?

Hello FME community,I'm trying to create polygons from Polylines. With Aerabuilder I could create 95 percent of Polgons. As you can see in the picture, in some cases no polygons were created.Polygon creation failed (yellow frames) 

Hi,I have thousand of Excel files I need to read but all of them have different starting attributes line. Sometimes line 15 or 16 or 17.(not me who developed that method of working….)The attributes are all the same for all the files.Any idea how I could have the Excel Reader to detect the starting line?Thanks !

Hello ,I am running workbench with caches .to check the result of each transformer . I have main custom transformer includes many custom transformers .when I make any changes inside the custom transformer  so I have to run the main custom transformer to see the results of changes for the inside custom  transformers .but it takes long time and I have each time to wait when I make small changes inside it .Could I run the transformers or custom transformers inside the main custom transformer  without running the main custom transformer for each time ? if possible ,How  ? thanks in advance Fme 2021

Hi folks, how can I resolve the error below;2024-09-06 07:06:19|   1.5|  0.0|ERROR |BADNEWS: No MULTI_WRITER dataset name was specified (couldn't find a value for `PRIMARY_DEST_DATASET' or `MULTI_WRITER_DATASET')2024-09-06 07:06:19|   1.5|  0.0|ERROR |(D:\code\fme\source\engine\core\engine\writrimp.cpp:672) class StatusInfo __cdecl STFWriterImp::getDataset(class stk::ex::UString<0> &) const 

I'm attempting to read in address points from a shapefile and filter them by the "County" attribute field. I'm using the AttributeFilter and trying to import all the values to route the points to their respective ports. When I try to import the values in the transformer, the only value showing up is that of the first feature. Not all of them. When I attach a second attribute filter, all the values show up. I guess I can go about the workflow doing it this way, but it seems like all the values should be showing up in the first attribute filter. Any suggestions?

I have been given a .JSON file to try and convert into an output Esri File Geodatabase format. I have managed to flatten the nested JSON values into attributes, and can view these ok. However, I am having a real issue trying to get my workbench to read the coordinate values that make up the polygon geometry objects. If someone could assist that would be much appreciated. I have attached a file, but stripped it back just to include the line containing the coordinate information for one polygon. Thanks, R 

Hello,i am facing the following task. csv-files that have different headers (different columns) are to be processed. In other words, file1 has a set of attributes, file2 has a different set of attributes, etc. In a Python start up script, the different columns are determined whenever the workbench is started. Now i would like to use these attributes within published parameters. The idea:A published parameter “p_city” asks for the column which corresponds to “p_city” (name of the city). The user can select among the columns that have previously been determined by the start up script.How can i pass the determined columns from the start up script to a fme parameter? Or do you have a better idea?Best wishes 

Hi, I’m looknig for a way to colorize polygons based on attribute value for writing to HTML and further use in data streaming service with workspace app. Each polygon have attributes with unique name and color.I want to apply these colors to based on the values in the “name” attribute. I know it’s possible to replace text in the “html_content” using the string replacer but how can I make use of my existing attributes when adding eg. a javaScript function? I guess I need to populate the feature properties dynamically from name attribute:However my edits seem to be omitted when written to final html…Any examples/ideas on this

Hello Forum, I need to convert a tab file to geojson, which is ordinarily a simple task. However I am getting this error message…“MITAB Reader: Unsupported table type 'NativeX' in file #######################.  This type of .TAB file cannot be read by this library.”Note that the # symbols are masking the UNC path and file name.Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks,Stuart 

I use a workspace that reads a list of data sources in an Excel file. The data sources are either a gml file, in url format or not, or wfs urls. The workspace reads the data and converts and merges it into one filegdb.In total, the workspace processes approx. 50,000 features. Nevertheless, the following error message often occurs: HTTP transfer error: 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' when reading (with a FeatureReader) the WFS sources. See also the discussion in: problem-wfs-query-5215.Findings (including those based on) this last discussion:Increasing Timeout values ​​or limiting the maximum number of features to be read does not seem to have any effect.  Another suggestion to read the GetFeature request via a browser resulted in the expected XML content for most services, but for the wfs that gives the HTTP transfer error, in an image with only coordinates and attribute values ​​in text format. It can take a while for the browser (Chrome in this case) to convert the read v

HiI’m using oData web service url to do http request and extract data.The request fetches every 5000 requests, I want to loop until ‘oData.nextlink’ attribute in the data is nil\empty.Its frustratingly taking so long to resolve this issue !FME doesn’t allow feature holder\sampler in loop, and there is no proper help\round about method.And can’t see \ debug from custom transformer fmx file .. so, how to resolve ?Attached are my ETLs, (main ETL & custom) (2023.0 version) for reference, can anyone please help identify issue and advise for fix Please ?Thanks  

Hello, Hope I am posting thing in the correct area! I have an FME workbench that takes a series of inputs, overlays them and sends them to point feature on our AGOL server. This process worked until yesterday when all of a sudden I keep getting an error message saying that it cannot find the REST service.“ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type 'Utility Side _ Customer Side'”What is weird is that I have a reader for the exact same service that can see and read the service the writer cannot seem to find.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of making available a new Windows VM for FME Form users within our organisation. Our IT guys anticipated also using this machine for ArcGIS powerusers; but that's not preferred by the application manager team.As such it has some lovely CUDA GPU capacity assigned. Which is a bit of a waste if we don't use it. Can FME use CUDA for certain work? Are there plans for using CUDA?If there is no clear case for retaining the GPU, i intend to give it back to the resource pool. There is no guarentee I can ask it back: it is a finite resource, first come first serve.

Hey. Hey. I have a problem with GeoJson. GeoJson automatically writes the geometry and I would need to write an extra "layer" block to this geometry block, see attachment layer. I tried to create a template on json templater see fmwt, but it doesn't work. The idea of this template was that I would define the structure as json including the "layer" block and then write it as text with all parameters as geoJson, but I don't know if this is a good way to go. Would you recommend me any other options? I also have the schemas available, but I'm not sure on which transformer and in what combination with other transformers to use them to achieve the result. Thank you very much

Part of the handshake is described as:Upon receiving the Server Hello containing the Client Certificate request & list of Distinguished CA names, the client will perform the following steps:The client uses the CA list available in the SERVER HELLO to determine the mutually trusted CA certificates.The client will then determine the Client Certificates that have been issued by the mutually trusted Certification Authorities.The client will then present the client certificate list to the user so that they can select a certificate to be sent to the Server.So the last part of this states the cert list is provided to the user so they can select the cert to sent to the server. In this case the user is FME. How does it select which cert to pass to the server? 

Hi all,  I did not found the way to remove the M dimension from a shapefile to include it into a postgis geometry defined as linestringZ.  Do you know the transforer to be used ?  Thanks,  Pierre 

I am using FME to write to microstation DGN. The FME workbench file is using the fanout option to write different areas to the microstation DGN file, based on the same seed file. At the moment I have to use a microstation macro to "fitview" of each produced file in order to have the microstation file centered at each specific area. I rather use only FME to avoid this additonal step.Is there a way / transformer in FME to save the microstation file centered in the written data?

Hello all,I have succeeded in building a workspace that Reads from Oracle and Writes a fileGDB that includes metadata for the feature layer in the fileGDB. I used an XMLTemplater to achieve this.I am successful when I use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)However, I would prefer to use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)But when I substitute this Writer, it fails to include the metadata for the feature layer.Is there some setting that I am missing?Or is this functionality just missing from the Open API Writer?

Hello,please help me! During translation I can read error message "ERROR |MULTI_WRITER: No MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{*} or MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{NULL} was specified" -> whats wrong please?

I have a need to access some advanced graph algorithms in the RAPIDS (rapids.ai) package from a PythonCaller, which is normally installed as a Conda environment.  I have found a few references on selecting the Conda-environment-specific Python interpreter, but unfortunately, they all assume we are running under Windows.  We are running Ubuntu Linux, and the Linux installation of FME Form (as well as the macOS installation) doesn’t support custom interpreters.Any ideas on how I can get around this?  I’ve previously managed to install pip packages into the standard FME interpreter environment with no issues, but it’s very difficult to successfully install RAPIDS using pip due to its many binary dependencies.

I have created a series of workbenches that populate an ESRI File Geodatabase. Each workbench corresponds to an individual feature dataset. I have created a workbench with Workspace Runners for each of the individual workbenches so I can run them from there instead of individually.I have used a schemaScanner in the individual workbenches because the schema may change on the incoming datasets without my knowledge. For this reason I had set the first workbench run to overwrite the geodatabase instead of truncate to account for schema changes when doing geodatabase updates. However when I try to run it, I get an error that the geodatabase is locked. To get around this, at the beginning of the workbench I’d like to delete the existing geodatabase and then run each of the workbenches to recreate it. To do this I have read I should move the geodatabase to a temporary folder that FME will then delete at the end of the workbench run. I am have used the temp path creator to create an attribute

I´m in need to calculate the shortest distance in 3d between a set of basepoints and a line.Something similar to a Neighborfinder in 3d mode.Do any of you know a way to do this?
