FME Form

I'm using a path in an Esri geodatabase writer that contains a space in the path name - \\\\xxxxx\\gis\\SheriffsOffice\\Camera Information\\SO_Camera_Info.gdb. The workbench completes successfully (2019.1). When the workbench is published to FME Server and run, the path is truncated at the space form '\\\\xxxxx\\gis\\SheriffsOffice\\Camera.gdb' Is there a way to fix this?

Hello,I am new to FME but have some overall experience with coding and I know there has to be a simple way to solve the issue of automatically creating the file name based on an attribute. I am trying to create an excel file with multiple sheets and I have tried using the fan out parameter (along with anything else I can find online) but its been making multiple files or crashing, instead of just one file with multiple sheets. I have been researching this issue for far too long with absolutely no head way so any help will be greatly appreciated. I will also need to create a kmz/kml file with the same naming parameters if that changes anything.Thank you in advance,Sam

I have an ETL workbench and would like to create a text file where I can write some information while running the workbench. The information I would like to write includes:The path to individual readers The feature counts of each reader The coordinate system of the each reader How many objects have been written to the databaseI don't want to use logging per se because it writes basically all information.What alternatives do I have? Can I only do it with python`? 

Hello, I am a first-time poster on the FME forum. My goal is to read data stored in a plain view from a non-spatial Oracle database and then write it to an Oracle SDE geo_dbtable. The issue is that my Oracle Non-Spatial Reader slows down, taking more than 30 minutes to execute the SQL Statement when I include two comment fields that are long, 2000 characters. When I run the same query in SQL Developer, the result is back in a few seconds.   The log message that gets stuck on is:  ORACLE Reader: Executing SQL Statement `SELECT…<field names> to obtain features for feature type <Oracle View Name>If I uncheck the comment fields in the User Attributes tab the reader returns quickly, within a minute.  So I’m skeptical that it is caused by network distance.  Given these challenges, I need some guidance. I’ve tried using an Oracle NCLOB to hold the comments in the view, but the result remains sluggish. I'm eager to learn how to optimize my workbench's performance when dealing with

Hi,  This subject is discussed already quite some times but I don't get it working. I have a loop where a feature enters with 3 fields (field_name, field_value). I want to use the AttributeCreator to make a field that is named after the value in "field_name" and gets the attribute value from "field_value". As there is an option inside the AttributeCreator "Attribute Name from Attribute Value" is supposed this would do the trick. But this does not create a new attribute. If I type the actual field name in the "Attribute Name" field in the transformer it just works fine.  The attribute names are like this: net_elements{0}.xlink_href net_elements{1}.xlink_href net_elements{2}.xlink_href net_elements{3}.xlink_href ...

I am trying to set up a TCPIP Receiver to read raw data from a specific port on another host machine. On the box I am authoring the workspace with I can use Windows PowerShell to ping that location and have another technician confirm with Wireshark that data is being sent through this port.  So in using the TCP\IP Receiver transformer I can ‘Successfully connect to host’ per the log but the translation immediately shuts down per the attached snip. Why is it doing this? It should be streaming data and to do so needs that transporter open. Thanks for any help.     

I have a Microsoft SQL Server database and need to mirror/copy some tablez to another Microsoft SQL Server.For most attributes it is working, but not for numeric(width, precision) values it is not. The numbers after the decimal do not show in the new database. This might has to do with the decimal / language setting; I am not sure what the problem is. I read about the use of 'native_data_type'https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/Deriving-Destination-Schema-from-Schema-Feature.htm'To instruct the dynamic writer to apply the native_data_type to the schema feature, instead of the fme_data_type, specify attribute fme_format_short_name and set the value to the Format Type Identifier ("short name") of the format. For example, fme_format_short_name = “GEODATABASE_FILE”.'But do not know how to implement this. Where do I need to put this 'fme_format_short_name'?Hope someone can provide some insights.ThanksStefan

Hi All,Im trying to do a spatial join of attributes from the red line (running parallelish) to the black line, not the attributes from the red line running down Duke Street.I have tried a range of thingsbuffering the black line and seeing what it contains ( it contains a piece of Duke Street) and the parallel red line but i cant work out which record to take getting the polar angle of the lines and looking at the list of records that spatially join it - im struggling to sort the list to find the correct record. I think i need a Spatial Angle Join but am struggling with the logic on the listsAny help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks Steve

Hi All, I am trying to call a fmw file using bat file which will run on fme quick translator. Here for a testing i created a fmw file with “path” reader and changing the input value as user parameter which i newly added in workbench. I created a testing bat file to call that fmw file but i am facing “Undefined environment variable”.  I referred old case regarding and changed into ${variable} format but no change yet I’m facing the same. I attached workbench file and bat for your reference.I am using FME Desktop 2020.1.1.1 32bit version 

I am using an SQLExecutor to write spatial data into an ArcGIS Enterprise database table.It took me a while to get it done, and there is still more work to do but currently a smaller chunk of data is for the first time written into the table. What bugs me is the 4 lines of warning that I get for every feature written.Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Getting Custom SQL schema failed. Custom SQL query 'INSERT    INTO    building (OBJECTID,SHAPE)VALUES (27, geometry::STGeomFromWKB(here is of course the binary, 25832))' may execute in an unexpected manner. Make sure all columns are named (any ambiguous columns, e.g. GEOM.STBuffer(1), must have an AS clause). If there is an ORDER BY clause, either remove it or add a TOP clause. If this warning is generated in a SQLCreator or SQLExecutor, you can avoid it by picking Data Features in the Features to Read field the message coming from Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader seems strange how can I avoid this in the SQLExecutor? Should I set th

When adding a Geopackage Writer to the workspace and using the “Copy from Reader...” functionality to import a feature type definition (from a Geopackage reader), the geometry set on the Geopackage writer feature type is incorrect.Upon opening the newly added writer feature type, it doesn’t show any geometry. Opening it a second time then shows the Geometry as <All>, which is not a valid value for the Geopackage format. We’re currently investigating the issue and will be filing a bug report shortly to get this issue resolved. 

It used to work in older versions (2020?), but now will only use the value set in the writer. If I set it to 0 for automatic width, it results in "Error running translation"I need the cell size to be a specific decimal value, but the writer will only let me set an integer for the cell width.

Hello,Context : FME 2024.0.3, Windows 11I'm currently working on a project with source data and files “.shp” files within it. Each of these files has several columns, one of which is called “IdGen”. Only this column is not written in the same way according to the “.shp” file, example: IDgen, idgen, IDGEN, idGen……To insert it into our GIS, I would like to know if there was a way to change, at once and with a single transformer, all the columns having “idgen” regardless of how it is written to “ IdGen” as I wish ? All this with the aim that my FME project can work automatically during the next updates without having to use AttributeManager behind each of the files…Thank you !Antoine

Hello FME enthusiast,  I exported a data from SW to SHP using FME workbench and after exported i used FME inspector to view exported shp file which don’t have geometry.  but when i open  same shp file in QGIS which showing geometry as MultiPoint. But in writer (Shp) mentioned shape_file point not multipoint.  Does anyone come across this case ?.Thanks in Advance!

Hi All,Am attempting to read a feature service (actually several) that are open to the public on ArcGIS Online (AGOL).  I have created a new web connection using an existing user in AGOL for our organization (getting a token, client id, etc).The data that I am attempting to read is the ACS Census data (several different feature services).  When entering the copied URL from the AGOL website, and then attempting to select a layer from the feature service, I get the following errors.  I see that that it is looking in the content of my user, but this data is open to all.  This used to work for me before the changes in the web connections.  Where do I look from here?  I have tried this in FME 2022 and Flow 2024.Thanks,LorindaCreating reader for format: Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature ServiceTrying to find a PYTHON plugin for reader named `ARCGISONLINEFEATURES'Using Python interpreter from `C:\Program Files\FME Flow\fmepython312\python312.dll' with PYTHONHOME `C:\Program Files\FME Flow\fme

I am doing an inventarisation of all our scripts. Each script has the workspace parameters completed. This information is ideal for the inventary. I have found a way to do this adding each .fmw script individually, but this is very time consuming so I am looking for a way to do so in bulk.  I tried to use Directory reader to initially find all the .fmw scripts in a particular path, and this works, however I do not find a way now from this list how to extract info from inside the various files. I tried the FeatureReader transformer as I used this before to extract DWG files in bulk, but that does not seem to work for .fmw files.

Hello, I’m a beginner to FME and need help with how to exctract the images from a scanned pdf to fit with the OCR text I got from Tesseract. The idea is to create new pdf files from the scanned ones where you can copy the text and so on, and I also want to keep the original layout of the text and images. I have attached two images to illustrate what I mean. One is of the original scanned pdf and the other is my OCR extracted text and where I want to put the images. Also attached is my workspace.  Thanks!

Hi, I have a workspace that writes a XLSX from a template. The source features come from Smallworld (there's also a very simple Excel spreadsheet that is joined in the process). I can run it in FME Desktop 2018 (32) + Smallworld 4.3 with no problem. But when I run it in FME Desktop 2021 (64) + Smallworld 5.2, the resulting XLSX seems to be corrupted. While starting Excel, I get a message: "We found a problem with some content in... <file name>. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes". After clicking Yes, Excel does its recovery thing, and tells me "Removed Feature: Named range from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)". To rule out an Excel problem, I opened both output files (FME 2018 and FME 2021) in the same computer, and got the errors only in the FME 2021/Smallworld 5 file. I also see these warnings in the FME log when I run it in FME 2021 / Smallworld 5: Excel Reader: Found named range &#39

Hello,We are trying to manage changing attachments on a feature layer on ArcGIS Online using FME. We can successfully read, compare, and add attachments using a combination of HTTP Callers and Python Callers. However, we are having difficulties deleting attachments that are no longer relevant. The easy solution would be to delete the entire record but we are trying to avoid that.Has anyone had success at using the deleteAttachments POST request outlined in the ESRI’s api guide.https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/delete-attachments/Or has anyone found another way of managing attachments?Thanks,

I’m trying to write a PDF, currently attached to a GIS point feature class, to a PDF file. Preference being that this would be an additional page to another. I currently have a FeatureReader accessing the Attribute Table for the feature class. I have tried using the Adobe PDF GeoSpatial Writer but I am not getting anything but a blank PDF document. Is there a transformer or set of transformers that handles this specific workflow? The Data attribute on the Attachments table contains the original PDF document’s information.Thank you all,

Hi All,I’m trying to write an existing ESRI GDB relationship 1:1. I have watched a few of the FME articles material here https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407490028813-Writing-Geodatabase-Relationship-Classes  but can’t get it to work. Here is the scenario:I have created the relationship (1:1) manually in ArcPro as the relations can’t be created using FME. The relation is one to one and needs to be done by Title_Number field. I have also created the relevant fields after reading the article above, here is an screenshot of the AttributeCreator:   Here is an screenshot of the relationship in ArcGIS:Also here is an screenshot of the FeatureWriter settings to write the relation in the template GDB: And finally the error in FME after trying to write the relation: Attempting to write a non-relationship feature to relationship class 'rel_NPS_CCOD'. Ensure the 'geodb_type' is set to a valid relationship class type  Any idea how to make it to work?Thanks
