FME Form

Hi everyone,I am trying to match attributes and write the matching part of the substrings into a new attribute. The following table explains it best: 1 2 3 4 match 03.02.06.03.02.01 03.02.06.03.04 03.02.06.03.02.02 03.02.06.04.03.01 03.02.06 03.02.06.03.04.02 03.02.06.03.09.01 03.02.06.03.01.01 03.02.06.03.04.01 03.02.06.03 03.01.04.05 03.01.04     03.01.04  Note that the fields may also be empty and should then be ignored and not all strings are the same lenght. I am also trying to match from the start of the string only.  The only idea that came to me so far is to create lists for each attribute using the attribute splitter and then use conditionals to compare each two-digit part seperately, create each sequence and then string them back together. Maybe there is an easier way? Best reagrds. 

I have a text file that has a list of pointse.g. ID, X, Y I then have another file that has a list of linese.g. ID, FromPointID, ToPointID How do I create the lines using the coordinates listed from the points file?  

Hello, I’m trying to connect to my microsoft email with the emailer transformer. I get the ‘Unable to retrieve access token’ error after logging into my account and using authenticator app. I get this error with veryify HTTPS certificates enabled or disabled. Any help on this?Thanks

Hi this puzzles me: using FME(R) 2022.2.3.0 (20230131 - Build 22789 - WIN64), when reading an Open File Geodatabase from a zip file, features are duplicated. I created and attached a template which demonstrates the error. The workspace uses two readers to demonstrate the phenomena, both of type File Open Geodatabase.The first reader reads from ..\test.zip\test.gdb The second reader reads from ..\test.gdbRecords on the first reader are duplicated. When reading from just test.zip the duplication does not take place. Is this behaviour as meant to be?

Hi all,I have been informed by our IT department about the requirement to ensure that the publisher of our Azure app is verified by Microsoft. You can find more information on the publisher verification process here: Publisher Verification Overview.Could anyone from the confirm if this verification process is already being arranged, or if there are any steps that we need to follow to initiate this process?

Hi,I have a layer with closed polygons. On top of these polygons lies a layer with smaller areas. These areas are divided into 3 types.Each type of area needs to be assigned a year, and the total area per table type should be approximately equal within the larger area.How can I create a distribution where each type of area is used, and the total area of each type is approximately equal?How could I achieve this with FME?

Hi All,How can I force FME to use ArcMap 10.8 for reading GDB instead of ArcPro 3.x? I have a workflow that needs to use ArcMap because of a python script and everything works fine on my machine, my current versions of FME (2018, 2020, 2023...etc) use ArcMap to read GDB. Happy days. See below: One my colleagues also uses the same workflow, same version of ArcMap and FME but his workflow goes to ArcGIS Pro instead to ArcMap,How can I force FME to use ArcMap to read/write GDBs?Thanks :)

Currently we are using FME work bench to connect to S/4 via OData, however there are performance issues with using Odata, Is there any threshold limit uptil which FME can support the data extract using Odata without any performance issue. Any document or any recommendation from SAFE.What are the other options to connect to S/4 Rise if we do not want to use OData, our FME will be in AWS .What all config options we have other than OData to get rid of the performance issues. If at all there are other options available what all are the components needed to have the same Please help urgent

I have coordinate list. I want to draw a dodecagon with a known radius.example 

Hi, If I’m writing a fme-binary attribute out to jpeg using an AttributeFileWriter is there any way to publish as DataStreamer on FME Flow?  

I’m encountering this error and am at a loss. Everything in workbench (SQLCreator - Attribute Mgr - Excel Writer) seems to work fine, up until it gets to the writer. Excel Writer: Failed to write an attribute of type 'string' with value 'XMLDATA' to row '0' column '-1015942868'. Error message is 'col must be in range 0-16383'. Skipping featureWriter Mode: UpdateOutput Field Names: YesFormal Field Names: NoUse Attribute Names as Column Positions: YesStart Position: Start Column: 1 Start Row: 1  Any suggestions?  

I’m trying format the headers of an excel file. I’m attempting to use a template but can’t get it to work. The output always has a tab that is formatted like the template, and a tab with the data without the formatted headers. I’d like to write the data to the formatted tab. Is this possible?  

I’m querying databases using SQL Creator and have a Where clause date > ‘$(dateuserparameter)’.  I would like the dateuserparameter default value to be yesterday’s date, for example ‘2024-10-07’.  Is it possible to set the parameter’s default value to be yesterday’s date?

We want to automatically write 3D data to an existing 3DScene in ArcGIS Online. The data consists of borehole samples (geometry simple 3D-cylinder). We have tried using the Esri Indexed 3D Scene Layer-writer but the output does not show correctly and we can't create pop-ups showing the attribute data (although it looks like it's there). We're not sure why this doesn't work but figured we'd try here first to see if we can get any pointers to a best practice. So, can anyone please help shed some light on the best way of doing this - updating 3D-data to an existing 3D-scene in ArcGIS Online? (We will want to be able to do this also with mesh-data... for instance a ground model.)  

I’m reading a GPKG table, and when I view the data in the Data Inspector, I notice that FME removes some small holes in my polygons. How can I prevent this from happening?

I use a Sorter to sort on some attributes.When using the Dissolver with a GroupBy attribute and the Accumulation Mode ‘Use Attributes From One Feature’ after the Sorter I assumed the attributes are taken from the first feature of the sorted group. (Basically the same behavior as for a combination of Sorter/Matcher or Sorter/DuplicateFilter).However the Dissolver seems to work differently. The considered feature seems to be random (maybe a geometry condition drives which feature “wins”?).So the question is, how can I use the Dissolver so that always the first feature of my sorted group “wins”?I have an ugly mitigation flow with Tester, Duplicate Filter, AttributeKeeper, FeatureJoiner which is not really smart but cumbersome.Any ideas?Klaus (Version: FME Forms 2024.1.0 WIN64)

Hi,I am wondering if someone can give me some ideas on how I could pass the result of a sql query from a sql executor so that the result or specifically an ID is passed sequentially so that each is fully processed before the next one starts. So the result is as shown below. The attribute I’d like to pass one by one is either the device_id or the row_index.I have had a look at this post iterating/looping a workspace using attribute values | Community but cannot formulate the workbench to do this task.Any suggestions very welcome.Thank you.fb

Has anybody experienced an issue starting FME Form (tried from v2023.2.1 to v2024.2) when having 3 displays connected.We have 2 LG 24MP60G 1080p monitors conected to a Dell Alienware X15 R1 (Intel Core i7-11800H 4.20Ghz, nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6, 32 GB DDR4). In this setup FME opens as a blank white windows.If we disconnect any monitor FME starts as usual.Please let me know if anybody else experienced something similar or if this is a known issue.

I am working with a script that transfers data from one SDE to another SDE. Currently, the script does not ensure that the relationship between a feature and its attachment remains intact. To address this, I extended the workspace based on the guidelines in this article: Writing ArcGIS Geodatabase Attachments.This solution worked fine when transferring data from one GDB to another GDB using the same data model. However, when we run the script from one SDE to another SDE with the same data model and data, it fails and I encounter the following error messages: Failed to retrieve origin row for a relationship feature with OBJECTID '3' from table/feature class 'BAGGERWERK_WATERLOPEN' GeodatabaseRelationshipFeaturesPipeline::GeodatabaseRelationshipFeatures (SortFactory): A fatal error has occurred. Could you provide guidance on how to resolve this issue?

My team has a workspace that has ran thousands of times before that has started failing in two different ways. The first failure does not actually trigger FME to fail, it stalls out on the ContourGenerator and does not move. Memory space, RAM, CPU usage, and GPU usage are all fine, none of them spike or max out. In fact RAM usage is quite low. Other times it will fail, at the same spot and give this error:An error occurred. FME will attempt to obtain more information on the error, but this may cause the translation to be terminatedAn error occurred. Here is the information that FME was able to find on the errorget_next_capacity, allocator's max size reachedI found this post from four years ago suggesting to just contact the support team. Any ideas before I do so, or is that still the recommended route to take?Version is FME 2021.1.3.0 (20211002 - Build 21631 - WIN64) I know this is an older build, I was told by my management that a new build would not fix any issues/make a difference a

Hi,FME Server 2022.2.1 Express install.Connecting out via proxy (not authenticated).https is not enabled on tomcat I've published an OAuth2 connection to the FME Server and am trying to Authorize it. Proxy is configured in the FME settings. Client ID and Secret is all set up correctly, including the redirect URI as I can get to the OAuth sign-in page for the app. However when supplying my credentials the token/code is being sent to http://<server><port>/fmeoauth but it just returns an error page "FME OAuth Service FAILED" "Failed to complete". I've also tried to use the ip address of the proxy to no avail. I'm guessing it is a tomcat redirecting issue but can't see any previous info related to modifying the server.xml or OAuth config file in the install folder. the FME OAuth log is detailing some nio error: Sun-19-Feb-2023 04:28:08.734 AM  INFORM  http-nio-0.0.0.0-80-exec-2  417005 : Retrieving connection with nonce: <removed>Sun-19

I have a dataset, representing a road network, in a Geographic Lat/Long coordinate reference system. The area covers three UTM zones.I want to calculate the length of roads / polylines with metres as the unit of measurement.What transformer should I use?

Connection to postgres seem not to close after query execution to postgres db. We are here allowed to have 5 connections to the postgres db and with the SQLExecution for each feature entering the transformer, a connection is established but seem not to close after the the query has been executed. After 5 features have entered the sqlExecutor I receive an error message: Error connecting to PostgreSQL database.....................: 'FATAL: too many connections for role "xxxxxxx"Is there a way to close the connection after each featue that enters the SQLExceutor? We are using FME 2021.1

I use the AIXM 5.1 Reader with the default settings to read all AirspaceTimeSlice. Some of them are missing geometry. For example, I have a feature which uses xlink:href  to reference the geometry of a CTR. The CTR in itself has an UNION and consists of two CTR's which are also referenced with xlink:href. How can I get FME to get this geometry. It somehow doesn't seem to follow up on the xlink:href. I use FME Desktop 2019.2.3.1
