FME Form

I’m using the SchemaMapper and I have a question. After transforming the data, I noticed that in the 'Unexposed Attributes' section, the attributes are correctly mapped, but in the resulting table, the attributes still appear without the mapping. Does anyone know how to ensure that the attributes, after passing through the SchemaMapper, show up correctly mapped in the final table? Is there any additional configuration needed? 

Hello, I want to access an api (not open to public but from one of our suppliers) using the HttpCaller .Connecting to the API with postman works fine. Connecting from the same server with FME gives the error: HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'SSL connect error'HTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set upHTTPCaller (HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been entered Connecting with FME from another environment works fine. We dont use a proxy.I have changed the option: Verify SSL certificates to NO Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Hello Forum, I have read in 45 tif files into a single FeatureReader via Select Multiple Folders/Files> Add Files. But when I click three dots next to Feature Types to Read, in order to ensure that all 45 files are listed separately, I can only see one listed. And that doesn't appear to be a input file, but instead it just states ‘TIFF’... What I am doing wrong here? I use this function quite often and it usually lists all selected input files, but on this occasion it is not. How do I get Select Feature Types To Read to list all the selected input files?  Thanks,

Hi community,how can I set a NoData value for the pixels that are located outside my geographic area of interest?Attached you can find a GeoTIFF file:https://we.tl/t-XjrxojSLZhThanks! 🙏

Hi, I’m trying to generically read some tables and distribute them into different DWG Object Data layers. For this, I have a mandatory attribute containing the output layername.I use a SchemaScanner with a Group By on this attribute to generate the schemas and finally write everything using a dynamic DWG Object Data Writer.But it doesn’t work, I get a Layer 'XXX' is not definedBut(bis) if I use another DWG writer (e.g. RealDWG) with the exact same configuration, it does work.I guess the difference comes from the Object Data table definition? But I have no idea how to do that. I’ve tried to sort schemas and features to make sure that the schemas arrive before the features but it doesn’t change anything.When using the RealDWG Writer, if the parameter Output Schema Before Data Feature is set to No, I get the same error, but once set to Yes, the file is written without problem. What should I change when working with a AutoCAD Object Data Writer? Any help appreciated. Best Regards, Julien F

Hello, I am using FME Form 2024.1 and have the Esri ArcGIS Connector Package (version 3.11.3). I am experiencing some weird datetime functionality. I have a Portal Feature Service Reader (old school) in my workspace and would like to upgrade it to the new ArcGIS Feature Service Reader. Setup was great and reading the data worked well, but I noticed that any datetime attributes that come through are now being read differently. I have attached two screenshots of two datetime attributes that are being read differently depending on their Reader. The old version looks correct, you can generally start to make out the date for a feature (20250906), but the new way of reading looks completely different.Is there a setting I missed when setting up my new reader, or is this some new format? At first I didn’t notice this, but when I went to write the data back to Portal after passing it through my workspace, I got an error regarding these attributes (basically saying they were invalid)DateTimeConv

Question:I need to generate a square georeferenced PNG where: the interior of a geographic region is transparent, the exterior is filled with a solid color (e.g., gray). Currently, I have two geometries in EPSG:2056, which I merged using a junction node.How can I produce a single georeferenced PNG with these properties?I’ve attached my script and the two input files. 

hello , How to use textures for different meshes of the same model in the PythonCaller converter?

Hi.Is it possible to execute dynamic SQL in the InlineQuerier ?I tried something like: SELECT * FROM Merged WHERE @Value(“sql_where”)but it doesn’t seem to work.Are there not substitution done in the “SQL Query” window in InlineQuerier ?Yes, I know it has to be SQLite syntax, and it is.Cheers.

I have a point layer, and within this layer I want to search around each point for those that are within 5000 m. For this, I used the Neighborfinder with "candidate only." It outputs a list with points that sometimes have 8 neighbors. In this list, I would like to keep either the initial point or the neighbor with the highest value in the TEST field. I'm stuck. I attached an image of the result and circled in red the points I’d like to keep.Moreover, the Neighborfinder transformer says it does not compare a point with itself, but I notice the opposite. Could you please help me?

I’m trying to query data from BigQuery using the GoogleBigQueryConnector and get a ‘Failed to get authorization header’ error message when trying to select a project. FME has been given access to my Google account to view and manage data in BigQuery.

Hi,I’m trying to modify the output file of a workspace using a Python shutdown script before it’s caught by the download service (or after, but before downloading). Is there any way to do that?The configuration is:workspace creating an output text file (interlis) workspace added to a Flow app with a download serviceI’ve tried to use the destination dataset parameter from the writer but without success. The script is :import fmedest_dataset = fme.macroValues['DestDataset_Interlis']with open(dest_dataset, 'r') as file: filedata = file.read()filedata = filedata.replace(',', '.')with open(dest_dataset, 'w') as file: file.write(filedata)Or if you have any clue on how to force an Interlis writer to use dots instead of commas as separator without changing the server locale, I’ll take that info as well. FME versions:Flow 2023.1.1.1 Form 2023.1.1.1 Best regards,Julien

Hi all.Is it possible to expose all attributes with a specific prefix with a transformer ?E.g. x_kjhkjhgk, x_iuyiuytiuyt and x_nmbvmnbvmnbvcAll attributes are read by FeatureReaders and renamed with a BulkAttributeRenamer.Or most I delve into doing some Python magic using the schema features and fmeobjects ??Cheers.

Hello community,I am trying to combine 2 different images. DSM (GEOTIFF) : Band 0 (Real32) as heights 50 cm GSD Orthophoto (JP2): Band 0 (RED8), Band 1 (GREEN8), Band 2(BLUE8), Band 3 (UINT8 - NIR) 10 cm GSD My workflows looks like this:  with following settings    Unfortunetly there are some pixels where values get lost, so when I add an RasterBandAdder, there are holes in it.Unfortunetly I dont know a solution where I can add those two images into one without loosing informations.  

Hi.After installing the latest beta, all my 2024 and 2025 workbenches have lost all access to our shared server and database connections.How can I restore the access without compromising everything. Will a regenerate work ?The access still works in versions 2020 and 2022.Cheers.

Hi all,I’m encountering an issue with the InlineQuerier transformer in FME Form 2024.2.1 (pre-production environment) that seems to differ from previous behavior.(FME Form 2024.1.3 in developement environment)🔧 Workspace Setup:The InlineQuerier has two input ports:tubes (can sometimes receive no features)parametre_generique (always receives data)I’m using this request :❗ Problem:When no data arrives at the tube input port, the transformer throws the following errors:InlineQuerier_2 (InlineQueryFactory): Generating output 'tubes_statuts_inactifs' using query 'SELECT * FROM "tubes"WHERE (    UPPER("statut_administratif") NOT IN (        SELECT TRIM(UPPER(value))        FROM "parametre_generique",             json_each(                 '["' || REPLACE("valeur_parametre_text", '|', '","') || '"]'             )        WHERE code_parametre = 'STATUT_ADMINISTRATIF_RETENU_TUBES'    )    OR    UPPER("statut_operationnel") NOT IN (        SELECT TRIM(UPPER(value))        FROM "parametre_generiq

Normally I use FeatureReader to import my datasets. This time I am dealing with a 4.5 GB GML dataset. What are the best settings to improve reading speed for my FeatureReader? Just like a general approach to use, reading GML file is just an example. I also other formats like .gdb, xml, json etc.I try to use the SpatialFilter when possible which makes the reading already more targetted. Hence, its switched this time also using my study area as Initiator.  

I need to write my data into an MSSpatial database with a spatial index. However, when setting the SQLSERVER writer to the following then I do not get any spatial index generated. When I now go into SSMS to ‘clean up’ after FME Form then I face the issue that I have a column id of type identity, but it isn’t a PrimaryKey. Looking into the possibilities to set an index in the attribute definitions I can see that I set the index to ClusteredNotNull. I can also see there is no possibility to generate a ClusteredPrimaryKey, as it is necessary to create the spatial index. I assume I am going somewhere wrong here and would like to hear how I get my spatial index generated and applied when I am writing the data, instead of following up in SQL.

Hi All,I am trying to migrate Dimensions from AutoCAD to ESRI. But while doing so, i get an error "An error occurred while attempting to set the 'DimensionShape' property on the 'IDimensionFeature' interface for the dimension feature class 'PD_ServiceDim100'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147220936'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The coordinates or measures are out of bounds.}". I have assigned the coordinate system in dwg. I have tried by normally migrating the Dimension as well as re-projecting the same, but am getting the same error. To test, whether the coordinates are correct or not i placed a point feature in the same and was successfully able to migrate (without reprojecting) it to a point feature class in GDB. Not sure, whether any attribute is creating a problem for Dimensions. Any ideas ?

Hi everyone,I'm encountering an issue when running a workspace in FME Workbench, and I get the following error:“Zorba Internal Fatal Error”What would be the best way to troubleshoot or fix this issue? 

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue in my workflow: when I process two shapefiles with the same name, the Feature Reader (in Generic mode) interprets them as a single file. This causes an error in my Join. Is there a way to handle this so both shapefiles are read separately?

I’m working with getting raster imagery in the area of interest out from the WMS. It’s the Land Coverage WMS. (https://dmsdata.cr.usgs.gov/geoserver/mrlc_Land-Cover-Native_conus_year_data/wms?)End goal is to clip the Raster out from WMS into smaller area, and I need to be able to write attribute table showing the value number & RGB value in the Raster.End Product. (Smaller Raster with attribute table)​​​​​​The issue I’m having is that the Palette index seeing inside ArcPro and FME is different. (Approximate location, SE corner of Possom Kingdom Lake, Graford, Texas, USA.) (32.856463, -98.431004)Screenshot from ArcPro. When clicking Blue (Water) the value is 11. Screenshot from FME. When viewing the Palette after using RasterPaletteExtractor it showed Blue as 0. and I cannot figure out how to get the value “11” out of it. Also If anyone can help me figure out how to write the raster file out with attribute table that would be greatly appreciated. I’m quite new with Raster, so I’m no

Hi everyone,I have a very large dataset made up of numerous GeoTIFFs that I need to merge using FME’s RasterMosaicker. Unfortunately, the process stops due to memory issues, most likely because of the amount of data being processed.What’s the best way to get around this limitation and still perform the mosaic?

Hello,I've encountered an issue with how color attributes are read by the different IFC readers.The IFC reader (deprecated) reads a color value as the diffuse color, but the newer IFC_API reader reads the exact same value as the ambient color.Consequently, when using a writer like the CityGML writer, the diffuse color information is missing, which results in incorrect materials being created in the output file.Let me show you with a simple IFC example.When viewed with BIMVision: The color appears correctly as expected. When read with the IFC reader (deprecated):The geometry has the diffuse color, which is correct. When read with the IFC_API reader:The geometry has the ambient color instead of diffuse. What is the recommended way to handle this? Do I need to wait for the next version for a fix?As a temporary workaround, would it be possible to change the ambient color to diffuse color? This seems difficult because in my actual project files, the hierarchical position of the geometry par
