FME Form

Hello everyone, I want to get the largest rectangle inside a parallelogram. Do you have any good ideas for achieving this goal? I didn’t find an efficient answer on the web. Is there a transformer/workflow in FME that can do this? Thank you very much for the help! Jenny

HI, I’m looking into using HTTP caller to update records in my Salesforce Org I am struggling to get anything workisng, I have tried to setup a connected app to setup a FME web Connection but keep getting an error. The aim is that another service calls the FME job and it runs and updates a record in Salesforce, we have the record ID for each run so we know what record and field to update but I’m also not sure using the HTTP Caller how to have it refresh the token also? I have also tried following this guide https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407494166029-Connecting-to-Salesforce-in-FME but everytime I try to test it come up with a Network Error: invalid_request Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi. reading LYRX (“layer files”) from ArcGIS Pro failes when the layer file include Grouped Layers. It works just fine if the LYRX file does not include Group Layers. Thea Layer File/LYRX is made with ArcGIS Pro 3.2.2 where the LYRX file is in JSON format.

I am running a call to an Oracle DB based upon an input ID as a feature attribute value coming in from a CSV. There are upwards of 2000 ID’s to process. Initially, that call was running on a per-feature basis; I am now trying to make this more performant by using the IN statement e.g. WHERE ID IN (‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’). I am doing this by aggregating incoming ID’s into one attribute value. Where this falls flat is that there appears to be a limit on items that Oracle can cope with in an ‘IN’ statement, so I figured I would chunk it up into more manageable numbers. My first thought was to create a looping transformer. My conception of this would be that a Counter would increment a Sampler to take the first 500 records (X), then the X+1 group of 500 (e.g. values 501 to 1001), X=2 and so on, until the _matched_records result coming out of SQL Executor was 0, at which point a tester in line would fail. However, Sampler doesn’t support that kind of expression building (as far as I can see). Any id

Dear, I want to merge two different datasets. One data set has road segments with a maximum speed and the other is bike segments. For each bike segment I want to know what the maximum speed is on the nearby road segment. Now I want to merge for each bike segment the road segments that are near (next to each other) I have tried anchored snapper but that does not work 100procent. Do you have some ideas on how I could take this problem on? Thank you in advance (purple the road segments, pink? the bike segments) Only the segments that are parallel to each other should be combined

My workspace is not keeping my user parameters settings. It creates extra blank parameters when I close the User Parameter Editor window, and then my choices become useless at runtime. I’m also not able to delete these extra blank parameters. Downgrading to the stable version of FME Form but wanted to note the bug here.

Hi All, I have FME Form 2023.2. I am trying to make a REST API call using HTTPCaller. I got this error below, { "code": "data_validation_error", "message": "Invalid request values.

When using Manual Attribute Definition in the XLSX Writer or FeatureWriter, is there a way to copy the Column Formatting between attributes? I have noticed that if I manually add a new attribute beneath one already formatted it copies the Formatting of the one above. But I was hoping there would be an easy way to set one, and then have it applied to all attributes.

Hi, I am looking into a way to setup the HTTP Caller to Update a record in Salesforce, the writer is not suiltable as this is best for bulk, my JSON has the case ID and teh name of the field that nneds updating. I’m not sure how to setup for updating and not sure how to ensure refresh token works? I have followed this guide, https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407494166029-Connecting-to-Salesforce-in-FME but it doesn’t connect, coming up with a network error?

Hi, I’m having an issue with the StasticsCalculator returning some nulls for min and max. And also some unexpected rounded max values. Input data I’m calculating statistics on avg_dur field and grouping by SEG_ID. Unexpected results highlighted. The avg_dur field is data type real32. For some reason changing the data type to real64 results in the stats being calculated as expected. The ave_dur field was originally imported from an esri shapefile with data type .

I have a non-spatial table in MS SQL database with lat/long coordinates. In my workspace I use the VertexCreator + EsriReprojector to create point geometries in our standard projection. Now I want to write the point features to a new feature class in an Enterprise Geodatabase (SQL Server back end). The database connection I am using for the writer has permission to create table in the geodatabase and I am able to create feature classes in the geodatabase outside of FME. But in the workspace, the translation fails with this error: “An error occurred while attempting to create the feature class 'My_New_Feature_Class'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216035'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {This geodatabase does not support this client or operation [This geodatabase does not support this client or operation] [My_New_Feature_Class]} I have searched for this error code and do not find much out there, so I am hoping someone here may have add a similar error and found a solu

Hi All, I’m working on an automation that needs to identify those lines that follow the geometry from another layer. The following screenshot explains what I need to do: Red line follows a river (not exactly the same geometry but pretty close) and need to identify those red lines that follows the blue centerline….I was thinking maybe I need to calculate the percentage of overlap between red and blue? There’s other locations where the red line only overlaps the blue lines for a little section so I can ignore those, see below Any idea how to approach this?

Hi, I am new to FME so might be making a rookie mistake. But I am trying to update AGOL from a GDB shapefile but it won’t update in AGOL. I have managed to get everything to work and it shows the updates but its not sending the data to AGOL. What am i missing here?

I have a fairly simple problem but can't seem to figure it out. I need to copy one excel file to another folder and rename the copied file. I've tried using the PATH reader and the File Copy Writer but nothing seems to get copied. Any ideas?

Hi everybody, My client has a spreadsheet that contains a list of Google Map urls embedded in text, inside cells in a Google Sheet. Using the Google Sheet V4 reader, I am unable to read the url of the embedded text into the workspace. For example, I cannot read the url for the Google Map url for Safe’s location in this spreadsheet. I’m really hoping to mine the lat/long coordinates from these urls. I use FME Desktop V2021.2.2.0 in production, but have Form V 2023.2.1.0 available, if needed. Thanks!

Hi Currently I am converting a DWG file to GDB (file) / SHP, The DWG file itself has line and polygon and they have color based on their different layer name. Once I read the file, it showed only FME feature name, I used AttributeExposer to add autocad color column and a few more useful information, then I used DWGStyler and FeatureColorSetter but once I write the file to GDB or SHP and bring the data to ArcGISPro, the layer has only one single color. (Please see the attachments) Can someone give me a clue how to solve it?

I have a .csv file with x, y, z coordinates. From these points, I want to create a 3D line. Currently, I have the issue that the z coordinates are not being transferred onto the line when I create a line from the points. Does anyone have an idea of how I can proceed?

I had a FME scenario running to read the feature service and related tables and write to an excel file. I have the excel writer setup to “Fanout” the dataset which used to drop each table from the feature service into its own sheet within excel. I went back to run the FME scenario and when I check the excel outputs some of the tables are missing. Prior to running the scenario I check to make sure all the tables are checked and that the reader is seeing all of the tables, which it is. I check “select all” and run the scenario but when I check excel I get 6 of 9 tables. I have double check every setting and even started a new FME template and recreated the reader/writer but I still don’t get all the tables in the excel output. Can anyone help me out? Thank you

Hi Everyone.. I was able to find a workspace from community this template attached and did few changes to it and it is working as expected with sample template provided in workspace to create a GDB with domains , fieldnames and field alias. 1) This workspace consider single default words in domainlist provided in excel only like Domain1 - Attached Sample_1_Workspace template - works with 2023 version. This workspace consider single altered words domainlist like alphabets(A,B,C….) in Attached Sample_2_Workspace_template - works with 2023 version This workspace consider 2 words in domain list like FME form in attached sample_3workspace_template -doesnt work and workspace fails.. If there are any special characters or space it doesnt work like : FME Form or FME_Form. I have attached error log and all sample data files with with each workspace.. Any Experts Kindly support : How can i resolve this with text as FME Form or FME_Form (with a space or special characters. Thanks

Greetings, I’m trying to use an ETL to convert RVT files (2023) into File Geodatabase multi patch, however, the following model produces the right objects, but in the wrong location, even though when reading the RVT file directly in ArcGIS Pro, the building falls in the right place. Any clue?

I have been trying to set up a batch process to create dwg files, adding a template based on the respective input file. I have tried to follow the advice from the links below, but am missing something or what I am doing isn’t quite the same. At any rate, my workspace fails after trying numerous different configurations. Published Parameters Batch processing I have attached the two Workspaces. The goal is to apply a CAD template to it’s respective output file, with the inputs controlled by the WorkspaceRunner parameters. The Workspace that outputs dwgs takes inputs from three sources: Two different folders of CAD files (one of which also happens to be same as the template but used for a different purpose), and a spreadsheet . Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

My dataset contains some river basins polygons, with 1 forestry polygon falling into each one. Each river basin also contains multiple habitat polygons. I am trying to measure the distance (edge to edge) between the forestry polygon and each of the habitat polygons falling within the same river basin. I’ve done some spatial joins to associate each forestry polygon and each habitat polygon to it’s respective river basin, but I’m unsure how to measure the distances between them, while grouping by river_basin_id. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
