FME Form

Team: I have been developing some processes in fme server 2018 and have an issue that I am not sure how to troubleshoot. The work bench is pretty simple, read access, sort some things, a couple of joins and then push the data into a clean database that has the same schema as the source data via a feature writer instead of an access writer in the workbench—this forces me to use a 2 step approach as I have some SQL executors port processing.The feature writer works in desktop but not on server. Initially, I thought it was a permissions issue, but then I broke the process—to a 2-step approach—each process worked fine independent of each other. The log below contains the information related to the issue that I had with the first approach—handling everything in 1 process. I was basically pushing records to a couple of clean preexisting tables. I don’t have a project number for support, I will be happy to talk to any of you later tonight to see if we can solve this to make sure its not a p

Hi guys,im working on a data loading workbench for our sql sde database. when applying change detection before writting into database, is there a way it can be dynamic and detect changes in group? Like original dataset a comparing to update dataset a, and b to b with key and compare field listed in a sheet? Thanks guys!

Hello everyone,I'm fairly new to the world of FME, and I'm trying to do a rather complex manipulation, but which I'm sure is possible with FME. However, despite my research I can't find a solution and I need some expert advice. I have 2 types of input data:On the one hand, railway lines as output from a ‘LineBuilder’ transformer. Secondly, a digital terrain model in TIN format.The idea would be to be able to create tunnels under the terrain. In some places, railway lines run underground in tunnels. It would be necessary to be able to ‘punch holes’ in the digital terrain model at the point of intersection. My initial idea was to generate 3D data around each rail line with a rectangular cross-section (5x4m) and then to be able to create an intersection between this 3D data and my digital terrain model to perform a subtraction. I've already tried a few things on found the net, but nothing has really worked. Could you give me some advice? Thanks in advance,Nicolas

Hello, i have a problem with the stringconcatenator. i would like to combine several values of text attributes with the stringconcatenator as a new attribute. the values should be separated by a comma, empty attributes should be ignored and there must be no comma at the end. how can this be achieved? I always get two or more comms if the attribute is emtpy. Thanks a lot.

I  have an “Extras” attribute that is XML-like with different number of attributes in different order within the attribute value.. When I use the , XMLXQueryExtractor* and configure a  query, it only returns rows that has one tag only called <PAGE_TITLE>, like below.  The query returns this query result in the list attribute. THe resr of the rows are rejected as invalid XML Queries.For the other failed queries, they have multiple tags, as shown below.What I’d like to do is aplit the tags into field::values regardless of number. This attribute value:<PAGE_LINKS>https://p3tips.com/community/</PAGE_LINKS><PAGE_PRECISEPUBTIMESTAMP>20240905151800</PAGE_PRECISEPUBTIMESTAMP><PAGE_TITLE>Lynchburg Police searching for suspect after armed robbery at Family Dollar</PAGE_TITLE> Woud look like below with all the attributes in the Extras value split into however many tagged attributes.PAGE_LINKS PAGE_PRECISEPUBTIMESTAMP PAGE_TITLE https://p3tips.com/com

Hi All, I am trying to reproject some .e57 files containing LiDAR scans and oriented imagery collected with a terrestrial scanner. Reprojecting the point cloud is straightforward, but I am having some trouble with the imagery.I can see in the Feature Information window that the image locations seems to be stored in the e57_translation_x, y, and z Geometry Traits (Geometry->Raster->Geometry Traits), here’s a screenshot from Data Inspector:I’m working from a local coordinate system, hence the low translation values.My goal (I think) is to extract these translation values, reproject them in the same way I’m reprojecting the point cloud, and then write the new values back in to these traits, but I’m not sure how to access these trait values, and was wondering if anyone had experience with this. Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone,I'm looking for a way to check if the ending character of a string attribute is an uppercase letter, and if so, convert it to lowercase. For example:Foo1K → Foo1k BAR4 → BAR4  BAZ → BAzWhat's the best way to accomplish this in FME? Are there any specific transformers or approaches that I should use to achieve this result?

Hello there, How can I read a tsv file in FME? Do we need  to use csv format only:? Thanks,Siva

Hi All,Anyone could help me with this specific question  in FME? I want to remove the repeated words in each row, e.g. A,B,C,A,B in a row, the A, B have been repeated twice, I would like to remove the repeated A and B only. please see attached the  sample data. many thanks. 

I have created a workbench to detect schema different.I am using two ChangeDector Transformer in this workbench which is producing output as I intend. Figure below shows that part.Workbench for that part This is output data (in csv file) based on that workbench.Output by FME Workbench 2023.1 (FME Form 2023.1)However, when I used the same workbench with the same data, the following output were produced. It got extra error. For error code E302, those not bold should not be there.Output by FME Flow 2023.1.1.1The workbench used is the same.The data is the same.Only output 1 run in FME Workbench 2023.1 (FME Form 2023.1) and output 2 Run on FME Flow 2023.1.1.1 and FME Flow 2023.2.Note: The additional error contain field that is unchanged in first ChangeDetector and does not included in the second ChangeDetector (ChangeDetector3)

I have a shapefile that can’t be read by FME Workbench 2024.1.1 or 2022.2.3.  The copied log is attached.The “Speed Zones” shapefile comes from https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/speed-zones where you have to login and download the "Speed Zones data" as a ZIP file.  Once unzipped you get the standard 4 files.When I load the shapefile into QGIS, it shows the following properties:    434MB    MultiLineString    442,943 features    EPSG:3308 - GDA94 / NSW Lambert    Fields:        Type    Text (string) 200 length        Status    Text (string) 200 length        Direction    Text (string) 200 length        Speed    Text (string) 200 lengthThe only issue I can see is that there is no unique identifier field but I didn’t think that was an issue for FME.  Any suggestions on how to read this file into FME?ThanksDoug

Hi,I have an NDVI raster and need to clip it with many polygons. After that, I need to calculate the standard deviation for each piece of the raster (clipped by the polygons), and in the end, I need to correctly assign the deviation value to the attributes of the corresponding polygon. Thank´s

I'm trying to build a service catalogue of our municipality's services (WMS and WFS) for easy search and access. I have successfully used xml readers and httpcaller along with xml flatteners to extract the information into a queryable json table and presenting it with datatables (https://datatables.net/ ). Very handy and fast. But now I've run into some trouble that I can't really understand or work around. Getting the info from well over 600 services has been easy but the last one I added does not work. See attatched workspace. "TK OPEN" works just fine. "Miljö" does not. It seems to be related to XML and HTTPS, but that really isn't my strongest field. getcapabilities.fmwAm I doing something wrong? Is there, perhaps, a simpler or other way to do this?

Hi, I’m finding XMLFragmenter removes geometry, is this expected?Data Interoperability in Pro 3.3, so FME 2024.0.1.0 build 24202.Thanks.

Hello Friends!My current setup: FME(R) 2024.0.1.0 (20240328 - Build 24202 - WIN64) ...from ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability Extension I am attempting to use the GeoJSON Reader to capture information from api.weather.gov/alerts/active (Weather.gov API).  I am not having any problems getting data.  The problem I am having is populating all of the available fields within the API - in case I ever do get them from the API.  The first time I connected to the URL from the Reader, I got most of the attributes, missing maybe 10 fields.  Adding another GeoJSON Reader and connecting to the URL an hour later, I get a different set of attributes.  I do understand that the data is changing and their API is not delivering any unnecessary nested attributes.When opening the Reader’s Properties and then User Attributes - there is no way to add attributes.  Am I missing something?  Is there another way to add attributes?Thank you,--Adam

Hello, anyone knows how to split a DWG into tiles? i can make it happen with tiler however i cannot split it or simply chhose the tile i want to export  

Hey. I'll try again and better. On the attached fmwt I am trying to assemble the correct geoJson structure - the data structure formatting is done on the "JsonTemplater5" transformer. The sample file for the data structure is the attachment "example_collection"( better to look here: https://github.com/UASGeoZones/ED-318/blob/main/examples/Example_Collection.json?short_path=e3f0eef), according to which I am creating a template (JsonTemplater5). The output from the workspac is "rmz.json" - the whole data structure is not created on jsonTemplater5, so it does not match the complete sample file.My question is. Does it really have to be this complicated and lengthy to define a template on jsonTemplater5 to send data to? Wouldn't it be possible to export the schema using a combination of some transformers from example_collection ( sample data )? Or if I have some schema available, can't I use this schema so that I don't have to create a template in such a complicated way? attachments: rmz_te

Hi All!I’m new to FME and have (hopefully) a simple question. I have created a workspace that reprojects data from one projection to another in ESRI Geodatabase (sde). I have embedded the connection parameters. The workspace successfully runs. I have created a batch file, using the command prompt information from the result of the translation log. The batch file successfully runs when executed manually. When I schedule via Task Scheduler, its fails (0x1). Return code 2147942401The user account that runs the task is my own username. On local PC. Runs with highest privileges set. Under Action, it points to the location of the batch file.  What am I missing?Thanks,Leanne

Not a question, but just an issue I thought worth sharing. When converting my data to a geodatabase, I kept getting the following error message: "Geodatabase Error (-2147219884): The Field already exists". Not a very helpful error message and googling this didn't help much.It turned out that my sewer pipe input file had a field named 'shape', and geodatabases don't like that! Using the AttributeRenamer to change the field to 'shape1', everything then went tickety-boo!

Hello all,I have a two roads datasets with a road_id, a through_distance_start and a through_distand_endI want to do a merge, FeatureMerger, where;road_id equals road_idtdist_start equal to or greater than tdist_starttdist_end equal to or less than tdist_endHow do I accomplish this in FeatureMerger? Or is there a different transformer?

I want to convert the format of a date-attribute from %Y%m%d to %Y-%m-%d by using the DateTimeConverter. This works fine, as long as there are no Null-values. As soon as there is just one Null-value, all other values are set to Null as well (even though the option “Passthrough Nulls, Empties or Missing” is set to Yes).I tried to filter out the features with the Null-values, convert just the features with values and merge all features after the DateTimeConverter again, but here too, all attributes are set to Null.If I set the Null-values to a dummy-date, then it works. But I don't want dummy-dates, but Null-values, so how do I do this?Thanks in advance, Vera

In a process in my company we use a Python script (PythonCaller) to call a download API, we need to modify it, but we get some errors that I don't get when running the script from Python on the Windows command line.Is there a way to debug the execution of the script in FME?

Is there any way to read dynamically any excel file and that the header are simply the column name A, B, C, D...Through a Reader I can read any Excel file but the problem is that it always takes the first row as the header.Thank you!

Hello,I am running on macOS 14.6.1 and I use FME 2021.0.3.2 which stopped working from today.

Hi everyone,I have a workflow that exports data from Oracle to another formats, like Shp, GML... using dynamic readers and writers. This workflow recive some parameters, like table name, that is used to read de Oracle table and to write the file name. The question is about GML file and date values. When the Oracle table has datetime attribute, FME exports as text, by default. I've achived that FME exports GML with attribute as date type, but this attribute has null value, beacause the format of date is wrong. That is, the exported date value is "19630904000000" but it shoud be "1963-09-04".As I said, I use dynamic readers and writers, beacuse I don't know what table will be exported and I can’t see the table structure, neither, when data goes out by Generic port of Reader. So I can't use StringReplacer and DateTimeConverter, because I would need to know the name of attibute. Anyone has any idea how to modify the format of the date?
