Use same FeatureWriter for Lines and Polygons

Hello,Can I use the same FeatureWriter transformer to write lines and polygons into the same GDB? I know how to do it in a normal writer but can't get it to work with the FeatureWriter. Below an example of the workbench which filter the geometry by areas and lines and then go into two different ports in the transformer Below an example of the FeatureWriter settings where I have included two feature types (polygon and lines) Do I need to set a Dynamic Schema Definition? I have tried that option with 'Schema From Schema Feature' option but failed, Any idea more than welcome, thanks! :)

Help with Looping for a multiple salesman problem

The goal is to make the shortest paths for the first salesman for first day of work, then the second salesman for the first day of work, then the third salesman for the first day of work, then move to the second day, and repeat. Days = User Parameter on # of days to iterateSum_Total_Time= the work + travel time for the combine paths for that salesman for that day.Each salesman can work a maximum of 3 hours per day (total_time).I have calculated the work, travel, and combined time per path per salesman.

Log file path issues?

Just looking to see if anyone has had similar issues? I'm using FME 2023.1.1 and I've been having some strange issues with Log file paths. I has a workspace run on a separate machine with a workspace runner and the job filed to submit because it couldn't find the log path. The log path was pointing to the original location on my machine. I took a look at the fmw in a text viewer and saw the path defined in full. I reopened the workspace, moved a transformer and re-saved it. This fixed reset the log path back to "$(FME_MF_DIR)<workspace_name.log". This has happened at least twice now and I'm not able to reproduce it. Just wondering if anyone has run into the same issue at all.

Hello everyone According to the rule, when digitizing objects, we need to place the object 0.50 cm above the red line. My question is: How can I find objects that are not 0.50 cm above the red line? Thank you in advance for your help

Does FME support moving data from an on-premise database (MySQL or SQL Server) to Databricks? We're looking to potentially replace StreamSets.

Inspect dataset to identify areas not covered by another dataset by field values

Hi guys i just need to find a way to identify the areas on a dataset which is not covered by each of the field values from another dataset.. I also need this inspection to be done by one of the fields. e.g. my input layer A needs to get scanned through to find out areas not covered by Layer B. but on layer B there is a field and each field value will need to be scanned separately and identified at the output..

How to use custom datum shift grid with PROJReprojector

Our customer has data located in Romania, and has provided a proj string that includes non default correction and datum shift grids. I have tried to install these in FME Form (2021.2.4), yet the workbench complains it cannot locate the grid file (“PROJ: proj_create: Error -38 (failed to load datum shift file): hgridshift: could not find required grid(s).”). I have found some links in the docs (also related to install this in FME Flow), however I'm not yet able to run this transformation in my local FME Form. Any help is appreciated. For reference, I have included the example proj string, grids, test data and workbench. Run it with the following parameters:

Trying to understand best approach for project using FME. FME Form or FME Flow Automation? Related to creating 3D Buildings

Hi All, This post is primarily seeking guidance, or advice rather than answering a definite question. I am trying to figure out the best method to automate 2D files into 3D buildings and load them into an SDE database buildings table. Though possibly also receiving 3D files from said developers. These files would be received by planning from developers and planning would share them with GIS (me). Would an FME App work better? Can it be dynamic and recognize all sorts of 2d or 3d files? Do I need a separate FME app for each file type? I created a PDF document that I want to share to my planning team so that developers can abide to for my future automated process. from my understanding, it should work, but I've noticed the tutorials (that use CAD) have an accompanying CSV with the building info. This has casted doubt on how i envisioned on using FME. I am very open to criticism as I am very green with FME still.

Translation was Successful then Translation Failed

I have some FME translation files (4 or 5 of them) that I use regularly on different datasets. These have worked without issue for some time, and are still working now except for one strange thing that's changed. The process runs, ends with "Translation was Successful" in the log as normal, then about 5 seconds later "Translation Failed" appears in red. As far as I can tell everything has worked fine, there are no errors in the rest of the log (usually if it fails I get good detailed error messages to help me fix my data problem). I think my data is good to go. But I'm not sure why I'm getting this delayed "Translation Failed" message in the log. One of the blue warning type messages (so not an error) says that my ArcGIS Pro v3.2 isn't supported, but this isn't shown as an error and my data appears to be translating fine. I think this ArcGIS Pro update is the only recent change that might affect FME though, so is that the culprit?

Using FME Webhooks with custom parameter inputs and Python

Hi there, We have a workbench that takes as input a KML file, processes it and outputs a zip file. After testing, this workbench has been uploaded to FME Server, and has data download capabilities.

We are using Python to upload the user file to the Data folder (FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)import requestsfolderConnectionURL = "https://xxx/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA/filesys/pvDesign?createDirectories=false&overwrite=true" uploadedFile = "zzz.kml"os.rename(outKMZFileClipped, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(outKMZFileClipped), uploadedFile))outFile = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(outKMZFileClipped), uploadedFile) headers = {'Authorization':'fmetoken token=token','Content-Disposition': f'attachment;filename={uploadedFile}','Accept': 'applicaton/json', } with open(outFile, 'rb') as kmlFile:files= {'file':(outFile, kmlFile, 'application/

How do I Limit Traffic Flow in Topology?

I was reviewing the article "Build Topology and Calculate Route Length" and had a question left unanswered. The dataset ends with a fork in the route. How would we set the topology builder to allow traffic from segment A to B, A to C, B to A or C to A, but to not allow traffic from B to C or C to B?

How to access the FME Academy

Hi, I have just signed up with an FME account in order to access the FME Academy. When I follow the links through the Academy I end up at a SalesForce specific TrailHead. Foolishly, I created an account there to see if that would give me access to the Academy. Is the Academy functioning at the moment? Thanks,Chris

Creating WFS in FME Form and/or FME Flow

Hello Forum, For a project I need to create WFS feeds for several datasets. Looking at https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server I see that this may be possible. I’ve opened the example workspace provided in https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server. It wouldn’t open in v2023.1, so I opened in v2021.2 instead. Is creating a WFS in FME Form really this complicated?… Or is there a more straightforward way of creating one? I have FME Form and FME Flow. Are there other pre-requsistutes I need to consider? Note that at the moment I do not need the WFS to be externally accessible. Access should be internal only for the moment. Thanks,Stuart

FME clipper transformer is very very slow compared to ESRI Eraser geoprocessing tool.

Yesterday I used the FME clipper transformer to curve out unwanted portions in a polygon feature class from another polygon feature class. Both feature classes are in two separate Esri file geodatabases. It is a very simple geoprocessing operation, but it runs very very slow, measured in hours, some even became hung. Tested this in several feature class datasets, the same behavior - terribly slow. On the other hand, using the Erase geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS desktop, it finishes in 2 - 5 minutes for all the tested datasets. The results between FME and Esri Erase tool are exactly the same. So wondering why the FME clipper is so slow. I have been successfully promoting FME in my company in the last few months, but this came as a big slap on my face. I am at FME 2019.2.

Does FME Flow limit Python used in a Python Caller to One Core per Engine?

I believe currently each FME Flow engine only uses one core per engine. Meaning each workspace that is being ran is only utilizing one CPU core. My question is does this also apply to Python ran through a Python Caller in the workspace when being ran in FME Flow? For example, I have a Python caller running an Esri tool and set the parallel processing of the tool to be 5 (meaning the Esri tool will use 5 cores). Does this mean the Python will use all 5 cores? Or does FME Flow still limit the Python from only being able to use one core?

Conditional Value Expressions for a Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA)

Hi All, I'm putting together a workbench to run a multi criteria analysis (MCA) based on a hierarchy (hierarchy level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc). The conditional values in the Attribute creator will help me with that. The problem is that some of the values of the hierarchy need to the next level of the hierarchy . Here is the hierarchy that needs to be followed: - Hierarchy Level 1- Hierarchy Level 2- Hierarchy Level 3 o Exception A : Any record in level 3 is ‘No main habitat’ will go to level 4 in the hierarchy, if level 4 is empty then goes to level 5, if level 5 is empty then goes to level 6, if level 6 is N/A then goes to level 7.- Hierarchy Level 4- Hierarchy Level 5 o Exception B: Any record in level 5 is ‘Individual Tree’ then goes to next level 6 in the hierarchy, if level 6 is N/A then goes to level 7- Hierarchy Level 6 o Exception C: Any record is N/A then goes to next level 7 in the hierarchy.- Hierarchy Level 7 The following screenshot shows the conditional statement for
