FME Form

Hello, Hope I am posting thing in the correct area! I have an FME workbench that takes a series of inputs, overlays them and sends them to point feature on our AGOL server. This process worked until yesterday when all of a sudden I keep getting an error message saying that it cannot find the REST service.“ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Could not find a layer/table matching feature type 'Utility Side _ Customer Side'”What is weird is that I have a reader for the exact same service that can see and read the service the writer cannot seem to find.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of making available a new Windows VM for FME Form users within our organisation. Our IT guys anticipated also using this machine for ArcGIS powerusers; but that's not preferred by the application manager team.As such it has some lovely CUDA GPU capacity assigned. Which is a bit of a waste if we don't use it. Can FME use CUDA for certain work? Are there plans for using CUDA?If there is no clear case for retaining the GPU, i intend to give it back to the resource pool. There is no guarentee I can ask it back: it is a finite resource, first come first serve.

Hey. Hey. I have a problem with GeoJson. GeoJson automatically writes the geometry and I would need to write an extra "layer" block to this geometry block, see attachment layer. I tried to create a template on json templater see fmwt, but it doesn't work. The idea of this template was that I would define the structure as json including the "layer" block and then write it as text with all parameters as geoJson, but I don't know if this is a good way to go. Would you recommend me any other options? I also have the schemas available, but I'm not sure on which transformer and in what combination with other transformers to use them to achieve the result. Thank you very much

Part of the handshake is described as:Upon receiving the Server Hello containing the Client Certificate request & list of Distinguished CA names, the client will perform the following steps:The client uses the CA list available in the SERVER HELLO to determine the mutually trusted CA certificates.The client will then determine the Client Certificates that have been issued by the mutually trusted Certification Authorities.The client will then present the client certificate list to the user so that they can select a certificate to be sent to the Server.So the last part of this states the cert list is provided to the user so they can select the cert to sent to the server. In this case the user is FME. How does it select which cert to pass to the server? 

Hi all,  I did not found the way to remove the M dimension from a shapefile to include it into a postgis geometry defined as linestringZ.  Do you know the transforer to be used ?  Thanks,  Pierre 

I am using FME to write to microstation DGN. The FME workbench file is using the fanout option to write different areas to the microstation DGN file, based on the same seed file. At the moment I have to use a microstation macro to "fitview" of each produced file in order to have the microstation file centered at each specific area. I rather use only FME to avoid this additonal step.Is there a way / transformer in FME to save the microstation file centered in the written data?

Hello all,I have succeeded in building a workspace that Reads from Oracle and Writes a fileGDB that includes metadata for the feature layer in the fileGDB. I used an XMLTemplater to achieve this.I am successful when I use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)However, I would prefer to use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)But when I substitute this Writer, it fails to include the metadata for the feature layer.Is there some setting that I am missing?Or is this functionality just missing from the Open API Writer?

Hello,please help me! During translation I can read error message "ERROR |MULTI_WRITER: No MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{*} or MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{NULL} was specified" -> whats wrong please?

I have a need to access some advanced graph algorithms in the RAPIDS (rapids.ai) package from a PythonCaller, which is normally installed as a Conda environment.  I have found a few references on selecting the Conda-environment-specific Python interpreter, but unfortunately, they all assume we are running under Windows.  We are running Ubuntu Linux, and the Linux installation of FME Form (as well as the macOS installation) doesn’t support custom interpreters.Any ideas on how I can get around this?  I’ve previously managed to install pip packages into the standard FME interpreter environment with no issues, but it’s very difficult to successfully install RAPIDS using pip due to its many binary dependencies.

I have created a series of workbenches that populate an ESRI File Geodatabase. Each workbench corresponds to an individual feature dataset. I have created a workbench with Workspace Runners for each of the individual workbenches so I can run them from there instead of individually.I have used a schemaScanner in the individual workbenches because the schema may change on the incoming datasets without my knowledge. For this reason I had set the first workbench run to overwrite the geodatabase instead of truncate to account for schema changes when doing geodatabase updates. However when I try to run it, I get an error that the geodatabase is locked. To get around this, at the beginning of the workbench I’d like to delete the existing geodatabase and then run each of the workbenches to recreate it. To do this I have read I should move the geodatabase to a temporary folder that FME will then delete at the end of the workbench run. I am have used the temp path

I´m in need to calculate the shortest distance in 3d between a set of basepoints and a line.Something similar to a Neighborfinder in 3d mode.Do any of you know a way to do this? 

Hello Forum, I need to find the records from one dataset where the value in one of its attributes is the same as the value of an attribute in another dataset. For example, If I have two datasets (A and B) I want the output to show which records in A have shared value in B, based on a specified attribute. I want the output to be a selection of A. Something like this…  I’ve tried Matcher, but that didn’t work for me. Thanks,Stuart

I remember back in 2021 when this happened, someone from Safe was able to point me to where the “recover” file was saved. Please help me again as i have created a very robust workspace but have not saved it and it would take me 3 hrs to recreate this workspace

I’m a newby to FME.I’m about to write workspaces to refresh a list of AGOL feature services.  So far I’ve written a simple one that works on a small service.I’ve got a few questions.When I search for potential pitfalls in this forum, they are 5+ years ago and relate to AGOL time outs and also issues updating large datasets.  .  I’m on the latest release of Form & will use Flow (Hosted).  Are these issues still relevant these days ?My largest dataset is our Cadastre being about 140K features.  Am I safe to use the Writer ? I am doing truncate & inserts.  One might argue that I could use ChangeDetector beforehand, however, I reckon the processing required to compare 140K features would be greater than a simple truncate & insert. (am I right?) If an error is encountered, I would like to quickly restore the destination feature service back to what it was. Any tips on the best approach to doing that ?  My idea is to copy the destina

I have an FME workbench that runs every 10 minutes that reads from an ESRI Feature class in a SQL database. Once in a blue moon I get the following warnings.Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. This feature, and any other feature from 'xxx' that cannot be read, will be skipped. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147154945'Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. Aborting reading from table 'xxx'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216010' Yet the next run 10 minutes later has no problems. When this occurs I want the workbench to stop rather than proceeding with the incomplete data set. Is there a way to force a termination when this happens?

Hi, I'm attempting to classify the ground from point cloud data using FME transformers, but I haven't been able to achieve the expected results. Could you please provide a detailed workflow for ground classification in FME? I specifically want to generate a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the ground, excluding other features. Thanks! Classification Point cloud Orthomosaic 

Hello everyone,I have the following data structure and I don’t know which solution would be the best in FME Form to get the required result:attribute1; attribute2; attribute3Kreuzberg; Rom; group 1Berlin; Kreuzberg; group 1England; London; group 4London; England; group 4Lissabon; Carrer; group 2Carrer; Lissabon; group 1Kreuzberg1; Rom; group 1Rom; Kreuzberg2; group 1I need to create a group_id attribute that has the same id where attribute1 values reappear in attribute 2 and vice versa + the features need to have the same attribute3 to get the same group_id. This is how the output should look like:attribute1; attribute2; attribute3;group_idKreuzberg; Rom; group 1;1Berlin; Kreuzberg; group 1;1England; London; group 4;2London; England; group 4;2Lissabon; Carrer; group 2;3Carrer; Lissabon; group 1;4Kreuzberg1; Rom; group 1;5Rom; K

I’m following this API documentation to authenticate and can successfully do so in Postman.  However, with the HTTPCaller it keeps returning a 400 error:    "error": {        "code": "no_grant_type_provided",        "message": "Bad Request",        "status": 400    },I feel like I’m close but can’t crack this nut...what am I doing wrong?? Postman:Postman HTTPCaller:HTTPCaller 

I have several polygons. They follow a line pattern where tre long polygons should be one large, and by that i mean that there should be no space between them, and instead of three long polygons it should be one large. The following image shows three pairs, so these nine polygons should be three larger polygons.  Any idea how to do this? 

Hello, i have an api which i need to read on a daily basis.I use an httpcaller, this is what i get.{   "values" : [      {         "id" : "66d9f33fa4766fe73ac59fb9",         "start_time" : "2024-09-05T20:06:55+02:00",         "end_time" : "2024-09-05T20:07:54+02:00",         "vehicle" : {            "id" : "xxxxx",            "country_code" : "BE",            "id_type" : "licenseplate"         },         "price" : {            "amount" : 0,            "vat" : 0         },         "right_type" : {            "code" : "PAID_PARKING"         },         "area" : {            "code" : "xxxx",            "area_manager_id" : "611e58c434e393575bd3a064"         },         "registration_time" : "2024-09-05T20:06:55.593+02:00",         "registered_by_organization" : {            "code" : "xxxxx",            "name" : "x

Hi,Using 2024.1 : not sure if I’m supposed to feel zen about that, but I don’t. Before I just had to click once to get into parameters.Now I have to click twice to get into parameters. I am more frustrated than zen.My personal feeling.

I need to find lines which are completely outside polygonsI am using the Spatialfilter with “Filter is OGC-Disjoint From Candidate”. All of them pass and I dont understand why?Current workflow This is my dummy data i am using. As you can see, the line highlighted with the red box is clearly the only line disjointed from the polygon. So why does all candidate pass, it make no sense to me? What form of transformer should i use if what I do is wrong? Its obvious to me that it qualifies os OGC disjoint?

I’m working through a test case to pull a table data from one of our MS SQL databases into Google BigQuery. I’ve downloaded and installed the BigQuery package from FME Hub and setup the needed Clientid and secret to have it connect to our Google Cloud project. It tests successfully in the services setup, and if I use the GoogleBigQueryConnector, I’m able to select our cloud project and dataset for reading, so I know the connectivity part of it is working. The issue is trying to write something to BigQuery.If I go to create a writer and choose “Google BigQuery” as the format, the Format selection stays red, like it’s an invalid selection. What am I missing?Unable to select Google BigQuery as a Writer format

Hi,  I’m working on automating our FME workspace deployment on Azure Devops using the functionality in pipelines. One thing I would like to automate is to extract metadata about every workspace pushed to the repository and write it to a README.md file. With such a file placed next to every workspace it would be easier to navigate our repo. I would like to see basic information like workspace name, description, number of transformers etc.What’s the best way to extract this data? I have tried using python to read the .fmw text directly and using the FME workspace reader with partial success.  Has anyone else done something similar or have ideas?
