Hi there I have been trying to extract the contents of a webpage the Facilities Masterlist which is on our internal sharepoint. I have downloaded a local copy of the page I am trying to extract contents from and attached it. I haven’t had much luck extracting the contents to replicate the table on the page. This is what I have so far. 

Hello,When using Featurewriter with a template excel file, i encounter en error when trying to open the written excel file which indicates a problem with the Named range "Named range from /xl/workbook.xml part".This happens only since updating to 2024.1.2.0, if I use the same workspace with 2022 version it’s fine.Has this happened to someone else ? is there a workaround ?I’ve tried a lot of things but couldn’t find the issue so for now we run this workspace with 2022.Thanks for your help.

I am writing a workflow that refreshes data within a hosted AGOL feature service.To enable continuity of service, I have 2 hosted feature services for the same layer.  eg.  Playgrounds_A and Playgrounds_B.    There is a view defined called Playgrounds_View whose source is either Playgrounds_A or Playgrounds_B My workspace plan is to refresh the contents of the ‘non-active’  feature service, and then set the Playgrounds_View to point to it.I have managed this previously with Python for ArcGIS scripts using commands like item.add_relationship() and item.delete_relationship()How can I recreate this functionality in FME workbench ?

Hi there,I have placed few VIEWS on Oracle Database changing TABLE column names. ie: ID as PLANT_ITEM_IDWhen I connect the VIEW via FME 2023.2.1.0 all column names are showing as what is recorded on Oracle Tables. It is ignoring column names I have set up on VIEWs. How do I get around this issue?I don’t want to use “attribute manager” to change the names. I have already done that on my VIEWs.Is there a way I can see the Column names on VIEWS through FME?thanksRegards,Pushpa  

Hello everybody! some weeks ago I asked for help with our project: calculate the distance to all schools in the city having as input one address. (Server App - calculate shortest route to several schools | Community (safe.com)) I have done it using FME Desktop (2022.2) and the result looks pretty nice:In addition I get the shortest paths to each school (each school has more than one entry).Now I have uploaded the GDB with the streets and the Shapefile with the school entries to the FME Server Ressources.I have created a server app (workspace) and run the project.There I receive this error:2024-9-30 09:01:48 | Una

Hi,I need to extract pixel with value 3 ,8 and 9. Have some transformer that filter the pixel value? Thank´s

I have a very basic dynamic workbench that is reading data from SQL Server. Before writing data to a postgis database it is changing an attriubte name with SubstringExtractor. But it is extremely slow doing so after almost 3 hours 150 000 objects has been read by the reader. Typically 100 000’s of objects is handled in matters of minutes. It is reading about 25 different feature classes I need to migrate daily.I cant wait hours for the workbench to be complete. 2024-09-27 15:11:02|6056.7|  0.8|INFORM|Reading source feature # 470002024-09-27 15:11:53|6106.9| 50.2|INFORM|Reading source feature # 47500It takes 50 seconds to read 500 features? What is wrong? Why is the process so slow? I cannot understand where the bottle neck is.  

Hi! I have a FME workspace using FeatureWriter to write record to some tables. When running it from desktop, it populates the tables as expected. However, if I look at the log after job is completed, the "Features Written Summary" section at the end seem to be misleading by show "0", while I know that there are actually features written.Do I need to do any change in my FME workspace to add the count to the summary? Thank you!Below is the summary part of the log:Below is the part of log for FeatureWriter, which does give the count:

Hi! I’m new to FME. I’m trying to replace an existing feature class with data from a SQL query. I got it to work by using a Reader that specifies the existing table, SQLCreator then a Writer. When I add the writer, it’s using the “Copy from reader” option. Is there a way to use the FeatureWriter transformer and specify an existing feature class instead of using a Writer?

Hello,For the logged known issue in FME Form “FMEENGINE-82549” with “Excel Writer: Field Names row not written” the solution described is to Set the Row Height to 0 on the Feature Type, as discussed here. But what are the steps to do that?  Is it to simply just use transformer “ExcelStyler” and use setttings for “apply style to”?  Thanks!

I was wondering where the FME wallpapers are moved to? The old link does not work anymore.https://www.safe.com/support/support-resources/fme-downloads/wallpaper/

Dear All, Could you please let me know is there any transformer to do Radiometric calibration and Atmospheric correction in FME?  Kindly let me know the details. Thanks, Siva 

Is there a solution to correctly read sharepoint list attributes that are multi-select columns?When reading a sharepoint list with relevant permissions to read,write etc. the data table returned shows only <NULL> values for any column that has multi-selection enabled - adjacent columns with single select settings that hold the same data type (username) are returning the expected values - only the column settings differ.[Note the column setting for allow selection of {people only / people and groups} may also play a part in this question]The column that is returning NULL only has settings as below: List columns that return the expected values have settings:

I could use some help in understanding how donuts are stored in OSM XML. Or more specifically, why FME Data Inspector is not constructing the donut from the XML. Here is the simple shapefile test data I’ve created.In FME, I’m writing out the OSM using the normal writer:When I read that OSM back into Data Inspector, it doesn’t recognize the shape as a multipolygon. The geometry type is fme_no_geom:The XML code is below. I’m seeing the relation present, so I’m not sure what else is required.<?xml version=

I was able to do a cumulative count of duplicate values (where duplicate is “-1” only) using a Group By on a Counter transformer shown below. (Added note: I should have added this to remove ambiguity - SORRY. The output as shown below in the Preview is the desired output. I only care to know the number of consecutive sequential values when the value is “-1”. If the pattern changes and another series of duplicate “-1” appears, the count starts with “1” again. I don’t care if the pattern for duplicate values are greater than “0”, like “2420” on the Preview.)  Since I have more than a dozen of these attributes, I’d like to use an AttributeCreator instead but I can’t seem to use the CurrentAttribute() to accumulate duplicate values.In addition, everytime a sequence of “-1”s begin (as shown in row 143 abov

Hello everyoneI need to run a test process that reads a file in netCDF format and clips it using a Clipper. I am using a shapefile for clipping, but the Clipper is giving me the following error:Clipper_<Rejected> (TeeFactory): Clipper_<Rejected>: Termination Message: 'Clipper output a <Rejected> feature. To continue translation when features are rejected, change 'Workspace Parameters' > Translation > 'Rejected Feature Handling' to 'Continue Translation'' Here is an example of the process I'm trying to test.I want to write two output files, one in NetCDF format and the other in Geotiff format.Afterwards, I need to open one of the result files and the original netCDF file in QGIS to check the values.The goal of this test is to verif

Hi,For the writer ArcGIS Portal Feature Service why using by default a deprecated WKID (102100) ? It’s even written in the FME doc  : hereAccordingly to the Spatial Reference organization, this WKID has been deprecated for quite a while now (before covid!) We need to use 3857 instead. So I don’t understand why FME continues to use the old one by default. Why don’t we see his replacement : 3857 ?Thanks ! 

Hello,There have been some previous posts about converting OSM data in FME, but I’m hoping to breath some new life into the conversation. I have an Overpass Turbo query here meant to query ski area boundaries, lifts, and runs within Colorado. The query works just fine in Overpass Turbo, and I’m able to read the raw XML data into FME with the HTTP Caller no problem. The issue I’m running into is visualizing the data beyond that. I’m aware of the example workflow that is similar to my process, but I don’t understand how the XSLT Processor and XML Fragmenter transformers work. If I use those transformers in my workflow, all the coordinate information seems to disappear when the data is fragmented.Does anyone know how to prope

I have data stored in a SQL server database in a native geomtry type format. I would need to migrate this data to a postgis database and store the data using simple geometry (point, lines and polygons instead of the generic geometry datatype).I have seen options how to modify the destination schema. But it does not include how i can specify the geomety type. https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407537293069-Dynamic-Workflows-Destination-Schema-is-Derived-from-a-Schema-FeatureMy data is stored as geometry but it is known and expected that specific tables will polygon or lines. Is there a somewhat simple way to do this without creating the destination tables beforehand?  

Hi All,I’m creating an archiving workbench for our Esri Enterprise SDE databases. I’m trying to automate checking for an existing version of a raster in either our shared or archived databases and then assigning a version suffix according to if the data already exists in one of the databases. I have the majority of the workbench sorted but struggling to automate renaming the raster to include the version suffix when writing to archive.In my example below I’ve identified that there are two existing versions of the test data “gen_aaa_aaa_test_ras” so I’ve created a name field “archhiveddataname”, which contains the the name I want to give the raster when I write it to Archived “gen_aaa_aaa_test_ras_2”. I can access this information from the schema port but not from the generic. If I include the information from the schema port I get an error saying that I’m trying to write non-raster geometry and the workbench fails. I’m using FME 2023.1.2.0 (20231110 - Bui

Reading the documentation and online search regarding this transformer - ArcGISOnlineConnector I have some questions. The Actions are pretty self-explanatory and it seems possible to both upload and download data from AGOL. However that does not seem to be the case. I can list every Group and item. However when I try to Download it just says: cannot download file of type 'Web Scene'cannot download file of type 'Scene Service'cannot download file of type 'Feature Service'cannot download file of type 'WMS'cannot download file of type 'Geocoding Service' I was hoping to download a Geopackage or something else. Is there anything that CAN be downloade? Any other usage areas for this Transformer?

Hello,We have an excel file with different first lines.For this reason, we have defined the featurereader in the excel file, which allows us to have the column names in A, B, C ... and not the column name with the values of the first line.This works very well, but as soon as we put a parameter in the dataset (instead of a hard-coded directory path), we lose the A, B, C field names and can't use them generically.do you think there's a solution for keeping column names in A, B, C?Best regards

Hello fellow FME form users,I had a script which worked in FME 2022.2, but not in FME 2023.2. I then get the following error:<WMTS> An error occurred while generating the GetTile URL, please check the dataset URL and selected parameters Another weird thing is when I make a fme workspace app based on this fme script, then I don't get the error at all and I manage to get results. It's just not clear  to mer why the script doesn work in fme workbench 2023.2I have checked the following parameter to yes: “Prefer Dataset to URL” This is our curernt fme form build:FME(R) 2023.2.0.0 (20231201 - Build 23764 - WIN64) and this is our curernt fme flow build:FME Flow 2023.2.1Build 23774 - win64I have attached the workspace, so that others can also test with my workspace.

We recently upgraded both Form and Flow to 2023.1 after we ran some workspace from form and flow we encountered that they were failing on the writer part with the following error message: "Too many values to bind. Found '127' when expecting a max of '100' ".It seems that FME is not able to write the data to an Oracle Spatial DB if the amount of attributes is greater than 100. When we reduce the amount of attributes to lower then 100 there is no such message and the writing is succesful. The problem is that I cannot reduce the amount of columns below 100 (the DB design is debatable I know ;-) ). Is this supposed to work like this or is it a bug in the writer?
