FME Form

Hello,I am creating buffer polygons for points, but I would like to loop through the newly created buffers and associate them with subsequent points that fall within the new buffer.If 2 points are next to each other, the first point would be buffered and the second point would be associated with that buffer.Thank you.

Hello,I have a API request working in postman, but cant get it to work via FME. If I could see the request headers/body, etc I would be able to debug the issue by comparing the working request vs the fme request.Does anyone have any ideas how I can see this?Thanks

I’m not sure if there is already a Hub or Custom Transformer for this, but posting my own version up called “FeaturePrioritizer” for any comments or use.  I may upload this to the Hub if some belief is useful. 😉FeaturePrioritizer is a helper when the user needs to change the order of Features coming out of an Output Port to feed into a downstream Transformer or Writer that has a dependency on the order that features come into it.This is commonly needed when needing to say: Make sure that the first feature entering a Writer/FeatureWriter is a Schema Feature, or say when using an Aggregator that the output Attribute Parameter has been set to take only a single feature in the group (Eg.. The first feature in the group to enter the Transformer)  to use as the Attribute output.Not much to it, behind the scenes this just uses a temporary sorting ID and a Sorter, but puts this all into a single Custom Transformer to make it easier.As an exa

Hey everybody,I'm currently trying to transform LAS file into Cesium 3D Tiles with FME Workbench. Las file is provided by an Agisoft Metashape project with EPSG:3945 coordinates. I would like to transform this points cloud into Cesium 3D Tiles with EPSG:4326 coordinates.I can't use Cesium ion for my project. Unfortunately, I obtain this strange result. First screenshot is the original file and the second one transformed file.Has anyone run into the same problem ? Can someone help me to handle it ?Have a nice day !

Hello ,How could i convert Geospatial Electrical Network Data (includes stations, cables , houses) are connecting to each other to convert these data as compact Block diagram .it is not important the coordinates ,I need to create a simple block diagram  of electrical data .I would like to adjust the positions of elements by bringing them closer together without overlapping and create the suitable connections between them .Is there any idea that I should to test ?FME 2021thanks in advance .

I need to export data of an oracle database to XML, it’s data from an electricity network, so not highly structured or nested.I created a workbench using the xml-templater and got some results, so far so good.Are there any limitations using the XMLtemplater compared to the XSD-driven Writer?I don’t want to create the whole export and realize later, that I would have better chosen the XSD-driven Writer for XML.Also a little problem with XML templater:I created an Attribute Value using Attribute Manager, a simple number “0.4”.When I write this value using the XMLtemplater it gets written as “0.40000000000002” to the Textfile.What am I doing wrong? 

is it possible to automate my 2D to 3D workflow in ArcGIS Pro in FME? here is the process: 2D polygon layer with a height field → extrusion in ArcGIS Pro → “Layer 3D to Feature Class” Geoprocessing. Here, I group it based on a field so multiple polygons will be merged into a 3D multipatch. → then use this multipatch layer on top of the 3D AGOL terrain layer so they appear good on a 3D scene in AGOL.Does FME have a transformer & writer to automate this workflow? Thanks! 

I have two spreadsheets. One is the original data; the other is data that has changed. The schemas are the same. The spreadsheet with the changes has 3 records. I need to add these 3 records into the original data (while deleting the original 3 records in the original data), thus updating the records in the original. What is the best way to do this using ChangeDetector?Currently, when I use ChangeDetector, the records from the changes spreadsheet are output to Inserted; The records from the original spreadsheet are output to Deleted. Deleted includes the 3 unchanged records that are in changes spreadsheet.  In the screenshot below the 95,392 in Deleted include the unchanged records that are in Changes. The transformer outputs the Original and Revised separately with no way for me to delete the 3 records in 95,392 and add the 3 changed records?

I built a flow where an Excel spread sheet updates a snowflake data table. The spreadsheet in located in a SharePoint documents library. To get the flow to run on an online FME server I had to put in a SharePointOnlineConnector. When I run the flow, I keep on getting “Could not decode contents of ‘jjjjj.xlsx’ as ‘utf8’. I’m running FME workbench 2022.2 at the present time. Any ideas on how to clear this error would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to convert 15 dgns (approx. 50 MB) into 5 gdbs using a workbench. The conversion is aborted with the error shown in the jpg. If I deactivate a few readers (dgns), the run is completed without errors. Could this be a memory problem? Please help.

Hi, I'm trying to dynamically create the line drawings in a GTFS, that is, I want to create the shapes table, which is empty by default. I thought that it must be possible to do from the stop_times table, the stops table and the 'mother' lines in kml that contain the total theoretical route of each line. With stop_times I can know all the patterns that each line has (starts and ends) identified with stop code. patterns from stop_times.txtstops.txt, with coords The spicy part starts here. I should cut the parent line by start and end, keep the correct segment - I don't know how to identify it - and reorient it in case the 0 vert

Hey Folks.I’m trying to move files from one folder to another after execution but it’s not working properly.I have tried using filecopy writer by selecting move option, but copy is working properly but its not move.I have also created attributes - filecopy_source_dataset, filecopy_dest_dataset, filecopy_dest_filename. But I’m not getting what value should i give into these attributes.Kindly help. Thanks in advance

In a related topic I’ve asked about api’s and JWT authorization:  The currently only way is to do this via python. I’ve got myself a script that I call via a systemcaller that runs the python script in a conda environment (not keen on installing extra python stuff in the FME locations). This works as I can fetch my bearer token to do api calls.However there is an expiration time on the bearer token (1hour).So now I’m wondering how to tackle this the best way:I want to do several http calls in parallel (default 25) but if I’m using the token voor 3500 seconds, I want to call my CT for getting a new bearer token. Any not processed calls (I need to make 3k+) should now use the new token. If I again come to this 3500 seconds another refers etc.So what would be a good way to achieve this kind of looping? As the http caller

I’ve been creating some workbenches that regularly update datasets on ArcGIS Online, but I’ve hit a small issue with the ArcGIS Online authentication within FME. It’s fine when I run the workbench, but if someone else runs the workspace they need to use their own AGOL account. I’ve added the workbench into an ArcGIS Pro toolbox as an ETL tool so it can be scheduled in Pro, so is there anyway to pass a persons ArcGIS Online account info from Pro to a FME workbench? Or force it to need a login prioir to running. 

I need to connect to an api that requires a bearer token in the header for authentication.This token should be generated with a jwk. Example to request a token (there are public available examples from the service, so no secrets from my side):POST /op/v1/token HTTP/1.1Host: authenticatie.vlaanderen.beContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=client_credentials& audience=8ed36a78-8443-11ec-b334-83e86b606670& audience=9e6a512c-8443-11ec-ae2c-8700eb2a0cde& scope=org_api_appread%20org_api_appwrite& client_assertion_type=urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Aclient-assertion-type%3Ajwt-bearer& client_assertion=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpc3MiOiIyODM1ODgxNC01YzIwLTRjMTMtYmJmZi1kYjVkZDhjNGFlOTMiLCJzdWIiOiIyODM1ODgxNC01YzIwLTRjMTMtYmJmZi1kYjVkZDhjNGFlOTMiLCJhdWQiOiJodHRwczovL2F1dGhlbnRpY2F0aWUudmxhYW5kZXJlbi5iZS9vcCIsImV4cCI6MTU5MjIwODA2MCwianRpIjoiRGt6bm

Hi, I’m trying to connect using the ‘Databricks (JDBC) Reader’ but I’m receiving an error. I’ve attached a screenshot from the Error - Log Window. Any ideas? 

Hi FME users, I have only been using FME for a short while, so please bear with me if this question is very basic. I remember seeing in several example screenshots of the workbench having multiple tabs open rather than just the default "Start" and "Main" tabs. I can imagine it would be very usefull to be able to toggle between different workspaces in the same workbench but couldn't find how to do this. Could anyone please share any experience on this?

Working with crossborder maps that get their data from two different datasets. There are many ways to approach this, and I am toying with the idea to convert the attributes and their values from dataset A to the standard of dataset B. The benefit would be easier downstream processing. A simple example:Dataset A: attribute ‘Lakes’, value ‘yes’Dataset B: attribute ‘water’, value ‘1’Then do some FME-magic to convert everything from A to the standard of B, ie ‘lakes’ → ‘water’ and ‘yes’ → ‘1’I imagine that the only reasonably fast way to set this up  would be by utilizing an external lookup table, csv or similar. How would one go about to change both the attribute and values from an external lookup table? I would like to keep it dynamic and easily editable, so preferably avoiding the AttributeValueMapper. 

Hello,I was wondering if someone here could give some guidance to a problem we are experiencing.We our trying to connect FME to BigQuery but regardless if it is the reader or writer we are unable to connect using Web Connection.For the Web Connection settings we use or own accounts which have access to BigQuery. In fact when we connect directly to BigQuery we are able to see the project, datasets and tables and we are able to run queries on them.But when trying to establish the connection from FME using Web Connection we get the following error: BigQuery Connection ErrorAny help on how to solve the issue or to even find out what exactly is wrong would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.RZ.-

I have a table of data that I’m trying to map. The locations are essentially polygons with their bounding streets entered as attributes:I have street data and have been able to create polygons using AreaBuilder, but am stuck on trying to add all of the streets back as searchable/joinable attributes rather than items in a list.I’ve tried the ListExploder and gotten a stack of polygons, each one with one street’s attributes, but I aggregating isn’t quite getting me the results I’d expect. In a perfect world, I’d be able to run FeatureJoiner or something similar on every item in the list, but it only seems to allow one.Any advice is very much appreciated!

Hi I am trying to set up connection to an external SQL database (the supplier describes it as an ODBC connection). I am using the SQL non spatial reader. However, we have been told it needs to use SSL to connect. Is there an option in FME to use SSL for the connection please?

Hi I am compressing LAS to zLAS with ArcGIS Interoperability.One of files is huge - 2700 million points and 89331057kb Software stops to write fail in folder without any comment at written file size 25Gb (Error running translation). There are no problems with disk space and memory! FME_TMEP is configure properly in 4Tb SSD store.
