Hi there,is ther any possibility now (i saw the idea about a 3d Slicer) to slice a solid with a planar area (e.g. a bounding box) a few times with different elevations?For example ....one slice after 1 meter, 2 meters and so on....?Any helps? GreetzFranco

Hello, I need to uninstall tjhe earlier version of FME 2017.0.1.1 but the uninstaller in windows requires the fme_eval.msi file which I do not have anymore. Where can I get it?

Hi,I'm trying to color a raster based on slope angle values.I want to color the raster in intervals of 0-19, 20-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40 and 41-60. Low value = Green, High value = Red.So far I have used the RasterSlopeCalulator to calculate slope angle, and then the RasterExpressionEvaluator to color the points, but I can't seem to color more than one interval at a time. Is there away to merge the different colored rasters with the RasterMosaicker, or can I just tweak my IF-expression? OR, does anyone have a better solution for this?

Welcome back to What’s Up Wednesday after our FME World Fair pause. A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks, so let catch up.  FME World FairHope everyone had a wonderful time at the fair! You can still access the platform until June 30th if you want to catch up on any of the presentations you may have missed. As well the escape room is still open if you want to give it another chance! If you don’t have time to watch all the presentations, you can read all of the presentation recaps here.  FME AcademyYou may have stumbled upon it during our soft launch, but we now have a new online platform for learning FME

PL.shp with attribute 1 Excel with Attibute 1 and Attribute 2Attribute 1s relateI have AttributeFilter set for Attribute 1 to extract Attirbute 1 from PL.shp I need to relate Attribute 1 to Attribute 2, which was not in PL.shp, but is in a related Excel Once the relate is attained from 1 and 2, I need to create a shp that retains the name of Attribute 2 which is then written into a folder with Attribute 2 name.  This will have to be done 200 times, so how can I efficiently get from reader to writing 200 shps that need to be in attribute 2 named folders?  Then from there, the shp needs to be created into an excel that is placed in attribute 2 named folder.

Here's an example of the ranges:And I want to check my own point addresses to see if they're outside of the ranges. I've looked at the AttributeRangeFliter, but you have to plug in your own MinMax. Any ideas on where to start? I'm thinking the tester or test filter would work, but I'm trying to plug in mix/max from a table and it's treating it as a row. Edit: Now I'm thinking I can just join the ranges and the addresses based on the street name. They're formatted the same so why not? I have 39k Poi

Hi all,I'm looking for a way, to build a report using the HTMLReportGenerator, but the workflow must first kick off with a parcel of land being selected. Is there any way to do this via the FME Server? I know there is the ability to draw a polygon to initiate, but if we were wanting to start it by selecting a specific parcel of land, which is within our Cadastre dataset (or any other dataset for that matter). Any thoughts? The theory is to be able to specify a parcel of land, for it to go through and perform a series of checks against various datasets so that it can speed up the manual process of our users checking it against Environmental factors, planning zones etc.   

How do I avoid "Unexpected input" error when I change a shapefile in the reader? The message I get in part reads, " During translation, some features were read that did not match a reader feature type in the workspace".

Hi, everyone!Maybe you could help me with transformers: VariableRetriever and VariableSetter. I need to test models for some parameters and make a report. So that's why I have several VariableSetter's and several VariableRetriever's. And when I run hole workspace one of them works wrong, and VariableSetter set parameter, but VariableRetriever doesn't receive it. But when I run only several transformers near VariableSetter and VariableSetter, everything is excellent and works right. What's wrong? Where could I find a problem? Or maybe there is another idea, how could I make a test "if at least one thing has special feature" then take this chain, and if not, I want to use another one. Any ideas? Thank you, everyone, in advance! Hope somebody could help me!!! 

Hi, I have an export process (non FME) from system that writes a file to a folder every day and gives that file a name depending on the date.  eg 2465_20210514_01.csv​.  I would like to set a scheduled job in FME to read the new file in every day and process an output from it.  Can I set up a reader in FME to pick a file based on a name that changes but with the same format (with the only change being date).  Many thanks.

Functionality suggestion: I'd like to see the ability to add additional destinations in one writer. This is where I want the same output (with the same output file name in the same format) at the end of a workspace to go to to two (or more) destinations. At the moment I would need to add additional writers and set the additional destination in that. It would be great to achieve it on one writer

Hi with a floating license setup, is there a way to manage licences in use? I.E kick specific, known inactive sessions off to free up licenses?

I have a webhook set up to run an fme job submitter job. The developer who wants to trigger it is opening the url in the default browser of the user's machine. The job gets submitted. But every 6 minutes if the browser stays open, another request for the same job with the same parameters shows up in the fme queue. Is there anything I can do about this?

Hi all,I have two dataset (csv and shp) linked by a common field (COMM_ID).Using the readers and then a FeatureMerger, a lot of records are not linked.When I convert both to Excel, and I try to merge again, all of them find a proper relationship. Why this happens?In the attachment, both unused suppliers and unmerged requestor.TIARoberto

I have a dynamic Excel reader with a large number of tabs. I want to set both the "Field Names Row" and "Cell Range" at once. Is there any way to do them all instead of one at time?

I'm trying to write several geotiffs to a PostGIS database that has raster support enabled. I do this through the PostGIS Raster writer. I don't receive any error message when writing this data, and the translation is successful. However, when I attempt to view this written data in QGIS. I get an error message that looks something like this: GDAL provider Cannot open GDAL dataset.........Did you specify a 'where' clause too restrictive? ..... I was told that it could be because the raster metadata of the tables isn't registered correctly and that QGIS needs this data to render everything properly. Certain metadata like the SRID, the number of bands etc are empty, but in FME it should be able to add these constraints I have always set the SRID in the writer. I've also played around with constraints in the writer , but still no luck. How should I set my parameters?

Hi, I have a workspace that was set up with Python Compatibility of Python 3.7+.  Customed Python interpreter and Python Home with python 3.7 within the ArcGIS Pro directory.  This workspace worked fine with FME Desktop 2020.2 but failed when I run it in FME Server 2020.1.1. The error message was:Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'arcpy' I tried to change the Python Compatibility to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.6 and it didn't work with either the FME desktop or server as it seems this only supports ArcGIS Pro up to 2.6. Can anyone please help? Would be much appreciated.  

I would like to combine lines into 1 line/route based on an attribute. The LineCombiner seems not to combine lines with a different orientation. So, if two lines have the same starting point, they are not combined. I put the parameter "preserve orientation" on "no", but this doesn't seem to have any result. The result has too many lines (different line at almost each beginning or endpoint of the incoming lines, due to a different orientation). Any suggestions?

Hi all, I have one polygon feature class. I am trying within this feature class to show clashes of polygons by specific dates.  What would be the best way to perform this and update this in real time? We have a editable feature layer and when user performs an update, i was hoping FME might be able to then show update of the clash on the map of the polygon. Is that possible?  I was considering use spatialfilter to do this but can't seem to work out the dates.

I'm trying to figure out how to group features based on a matching ID value and only if they have a date/time within 5 minutes of each other. For example, if I have two traffic jam features that both have the same road ID (they occur on the same stretch of road), with one happening at 12:15 pm and the other happening at 12:18 pm, these features would be considered a match and their attributes would be combined (total delay time added together, etc.). If on the other hand one had been reported at 12:15 pm and the other was reported at 12:30 pm, they wouldn't be aggregated. So far, I have tried using the Aggregator transformer but it's only able to group by attributes where the values are distinct which only works for the street ID part of my example and not the time part. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

I have a gazillion zip files with shapefiles and their sidecarts. I want to generate a list with the shapefile name and CRS. Attempts so far: Use a reader, specify shp, read the zips: doesn't work, FME doesn't know the systems and CoordinateSystemExtractor returns almost nothing The system is named in the prj, so I could extract it with the Python caller: nope, you can't specify prj in the reader, so good luck reading prj from the zip. Extract the zips creating a mess (at this point I am already better off using plain Python), ctrl+f prj and load them as text, then try to expose the fme_basename with the AttributeExposer: FME doesn't show it (if I expose the fme_basename right in the reader, in "Format attributes", it does show it however but that's not what I want) storm off to the forums <-- you are here So is there a sane way to do thi
