Hello , i would like to remove specific index of a vertex coordinates from a line .then build the line without this vertex . How could I achieve it ? my second question : How could I find which index vertex coordinates so close to next index coordinates ? then filter it to keep only one of them. thanks in advance FME 2021

Hello, I’m working with the ArcGIS Open data portal and I want to publish all my layers within a geodatabase to my AGOL folder as new Feature Services. Since there are multiple items(layers), I’m looking for a batch process. I’ve came across several transformers but none of them seems like working for me. I would appreciate your suggestion on transformer selection for this. Thank you. Rajesh

Hello Forum, We will have a polygon dataset of construction sites. The dataset will be managed within QGIS collaboratively by several planning officers. When the officer adds a new polygon object they will add a end date. This is the end date of the individual construction site project. Once that end date is reached the record needs to be deleted. I could ask them to manually delete it in QGIS when the date is due. However I’d like to take that overhead off them and replace it with an automated way of deleting records. Is it possible to build in a process to consider the end date value and then filter records accordingly? One port would go to all records where the end date has not yet been breached (this will be my published layer). The second port would filter all records where the end date has been reached (this will become a ‘historics’ layer). I’m assuming the end date value would need to be in a particular format (datestamp, perhaps). Thanks, Stuart

Hello, I have a master survey layer on ArcGIS online that will be continuously updated during the summer field season. I also have a master environmental layer that on AGOL that needs to be updated daily from the master survey layer. I know the steps to do this (attribute manager, change detection, etc) but I am running into problems when trying to ensure the attachments from the survey are included when appended to the master layer. The attachments do not transfer and we need those pictures in the master layer. How can I use FME to set this up? Thank you.

Hi Everyone, I’m working on an integration workflow between an editable polygon feature class in an enterprise geodatabase and an asset tracking the same asset in an Asset Management System (which will be where the majority of the info is populated). We cannot write directly to the Asset Management System database, and need to write/get to it via API. The GIS feature class has a few attributes that are not in the layer in the Asset Management System and vice versa therefore it is not a straightforward cloning. That being said, I will have the attributes/fields required in the GIS Feature layer already so that new fields/attributes themselves don’t need to be created in the FC. However, we want to set up an integration as the diagram shows above. So the lifecycle of the asset will start in GIS, whereby a user will trace out a polygon in GIS and the fields such as Geometry, Object ID and Asset ID will get autogenerated as a result. The user would then fill out the few GIS only fields in

Is this possible? I would like to create a self service map generator. There will be basically 2 paths that the user can go, interior or exterior maps, and features (door points, fire alarms, bike racks, etc) can be chosen to be turned on and shown in each map. This data all lives in an ever evolving SDE. And my idea is that all the parameters the user picks will be building an ArcPy script that is manipulating an ArcPro project. I’m laying out the base plan now, and would like to gather some ideas/input before starting off. Here’s an example of what I want this service to do, and my initial thoughts of going about it: Basically the user selections from the parameters will build an ArcPy script I will have 2 ArcPro Map projects, one for Interior, one for Exterior The user will select if they’d like to see the interior/exterior. If it’s interior; the interior ArcPro project has a map series created from every floor of every building from the “floor” layer (field called bldgFlr). Therefo

Hello , Spike remover : It cleans the lines and removes spikes and fix it but Changed port : the line geometry is changed . ( I mean the position of line ) i would like to fix the spike but keep the line without changing the position of it .How could I achieve it ? my second question : how to find and define the part of line that has spike ? Spike removed create point I would like to get also the Part of line that spiked . FME 2021 thabks in advance .

Hello,I have a situation that I cannot seem to understand.It seems that fme.exe is locking/using a file that I try to rename in the Startup Script, although that file is not used at all in the workspace (the processing where the file gets created/saved/renamed is happening in the startup script). The logs don’t mention this file/folder as being used at all.i don’t have the file open in any other app, closed everything else except FME. This is happening on windows. Logs say: 2024-05-24 11:32:20| 18.7| 18.5|INFORM|15160 fme.exe is using C:\Users\myuser\Documents\DataProject\CAFile\dtCA.xlsx 2024-05-24 11:32:20| 19.1| 0.0|ERROR |Python Exception <PermissionError>: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: ‘C:\Users\myuser\Documents\DataProject\CAFile\dtCA.xlsx’ The interesting thig is that on another machine with the exact same setup (both for python and fme) it does work without any issues. I checked the debug file for both, the output

Main question: how to create polygons at point locations Within FME 2024.0 I created a point dataset of cross sections with 866 points.At each location I want to create a square, which is sized 10 by 10 meters. The current points should be in the centre of the squares. Any suggestions how to achieve this?I tried the Bufferer but did not find the right settings yet to get a nice square at each point location. Output should be like the blue squares in this image:

Hi, I’m using a change detector to see if any updates has been made from the new data, to the data on ArcGIS Online. Previously I had the error about missing ObjectID on updated records, but I fixed that using a feature joiner from this Guide: How do I write updates to an existing ArcGIS Online feature service? – FME Support Center (safe.com) I got it working on points, lines and polygons, however if I want to update tables, I get the above error. By a search I found that this error has also been found in Survey123: Send Error Code 1000 - Esri Community Talking about GlobalID’s, I did try to activate GlobalID’s on my table service, and add that in my feature writer. Anyone who knows how to fix this? Thanks

Hi, I have a workspace to translate a Shapefile to DGN. The shp file has a attribute wich I can filter data to output in three different levels. In this levels, two of them, only have contour style, but the other one is full. When I write DGN file, the level with full style is on the top, so the other levels are hidden under this one. I've tried to put the level number in an attribute called idgs_level, but it doesn't work. I've also tried to put the level number in the writer parameteres, but doesn't work. The issue is, how can i control the order of the levels? Thanks

I think I may have run into unexpected behaviour. I’m trying to pass some text in a user parameter via a workspace runner but it’s stripping out the quotes within the text when I try to retrieve it. The text I am trying to pass through to a child workspace: "Building_Use" = 'Residential' In the log of the workspace runner it gets passed along in the command line arguments as: --SQL_WHERE_Clause {${="Building_Use" = 'Residential'=}}' and the child workspace receives it correctly when initiating the workbench as: ``--SQL_WHERE_Clause' `"Building_Use" = 'Residential''. But when this is retrieved via a parameter fetcher or attribute creator it drops the quotes in the child workspace: Building_Use = 'Residential' However if I run the child workspace on its own (not via the workspace runner) it retrieves the text correctly. I can workaround this by replacing “ with another character before and then replacing it within the child-workspace, but I feel this shouldn’t be necessary. I couldn’t fi

I am trying to to transfer records with jpg file attachments between two seperate AGOL hosted feature services. The source has also has point geometry which is stripped out prior to passing into the target table. I've been able to create the target table by using the AGOL feature writer, but I'm unable to access the attachments - even though I've exposed the attachment attributes and ticked the "include attachments" parameter in the feature reader. Does anyone have a working example of this transformation? Thanks in advance, Brett

Hi, I have multiple features, for each I need use an Oracle sequence to get the ID of the feature. Then I need to write the feature to the database. The ID must be unique. I have used a SQLExecutor to obtain the sequence next value. I am struggling when there are multiple features to write. FME is executing the SQLExecutor multiple times before getting single value for the ID. I need to process each feature at a time i.e. run through SQLExecutor, get the feature ID and write feature to database, then proceed to next feature. Any suggestions ?

I am having a problem with the counter transformer in multiple workbenches on multiple machines: It ofthen does not start at the set value (ussually 0 or 1). For instance; The counter in the image is set to start at 0. However: When I run the workbench it starts at 577. I have no clue at al why it does that. When I use featurecaching and I run the whole workbench one by one transformer it will start at 0. But ONLY when I manually start every single transformer before the counter. I have this on this machine and another computer in completely different workbenches. I use the counter to merge features. the workbench stops because it can not merge features based on wrong counts.

All two-point lines when exported to DGN, are saved as ‘Linestring’, not ‘Line’. I have a problem with this in the later stages of working in OpenCity Maps. All two-point lines are displayed as ‘Linestring’ and none of the functions work properly for me. In DGN Writer I select : Two point Line output; Type 3 Elements . Please, can anyone tell me how to write these lines as ‘Line’?

I want all columns from the excel sheet in the table, not selecting them one by one in the column settings, is that possible?

I am trying to run my workspace on the command line, using a command file. fme COMMAND_FILE C:\Projects\330004063_Test\cmd_file.txt It takes a bit, not as long as I would have expected, considering the test run of the workspace in the workbench, but then I get the following three lines, and everything is over.

The command line run does not seem to process anything. At least there is no verbose handling of the processing. It also does not produce the expected

Hello, I use FME Forms 2024 and I have a very basic workbench just to test the emailer transformer and the configuration of our email system.

I would like to know the name of the localization language file for FME FORM 2024. I know that the localization language file for FME Desktop 2020 is named transformers-localized.* (for example, transformers-localized.zh). I want to know if the new version has changed the name of this file.

Hi everyone, I have an Excel file containing SQL WHERE clauses used as Definition Queries in an ArcGIS project and I want to use the same SQL WHERE clauses in my workspace to create subsets of my data. Is there a way to "convert" these SQL clauses to Tester test clauses? I managed to do a lot with some StringReplacers, to the point where regular (att1= 'this') and list clauses (att2 IN ('this', 'that')) are covered, but I also have a lot of LIKE clauses (att3 LIKE 'th%') and I can't seem to get these translated to Tester's Begins With . I know about the capabilities of the FeatureReader's Constraints, but in my analysis I need both the entire dataset I am querying AND the SQL-clause-derived-subset. And I want to prevent reading in the data twice, since that slows down my workspace a lot. Thanks in advance everyone!

Another one from my daily work: Is there any chance to find “spikes” in elevation to avoid situations like this in 3d view? I already found that there is spike remover but my job is to only find them. Red lines are bridges and they should look like a little bit smoother :) Attribute which they are based on is “F_ELEV” and “T_ELEV” Please help me with identifying such situation using FME. Shapefile with this situation:

Hello everyone, Based on the following video I was delving a bit into the Classifier transformer in combination with the FeatureColorSetter and I was quite pleased with the possibility of coloring polygons based on a class. I assume making maps such as traditionally done in arcgis pro, is currently not possible in FME.However, since it's now possible to create chloropeth maps or give classes random colors now based on classes generated by the Classifier Transformer, I was thinking it might be a nice step in the direction of being able to create maps in FME. My wish would be as follows: You could for example use the classes id (generated by the Classifier transformer) and a label for the classes id to create the legend for the map.A title can then be filled in by the user and maybe a scale bar can automatically be generated based on the extent/coordinates of the data. Moreover the user can move where the following objects should be placed on a landscape/portrait on some kind of preview
