Hi,  I have a series of WorkspaceRunners, they are parallel i.e. not connected in sequence. But I want to be sure that one of them is executed before the other. Would it be possible to achieve this by connecting the first ones Summary port with the other WorkspaceRunner, having a FeatureHolder just before the later WorkspaceRunner? Anyone tried this?

I thought that with a Inspector attached in the workspace the ​FME data Inspector would automatically start when the run is completed, but nothing happends? How can that be?

I have a table that has almost 1000 rows, but these rows have a date field. I need to make a filter, which I can only use from today's date the previous 3 days ... however, I have some doubts on how to do a subtraction for example if today is 01/4/2021 (mm / dd / yyyy )

Hi,I have a set of points, and I wanna build lines between pairs of points whenever their separating distance is within a specified tolerance for example [3,4] meters

Hi all,I want to make Uppercase the first string of word.For example: 12 tran Dai nghia >> 12 Tran Dai Nghia, 12/3 le dai hanh >> 12/3 Le Dai Hanh.Could you show me how to make to do it? Thank you

Hello FME'ers,I'm posting today instead of Liz, so let's see what news I can find... Custom TransformersA short blog article was just posted showing how the new parameter editor dialog in 2021 can help create custom transformers, and how you can publish them to the FME Hub. That reminds me, I have a small custom transformer to make and publish so I will try and record doing that and post it to YouTube as a practical demo. FME Hub UpdateSpeaking of the FME Hub, its test suite engine has now been upgraded to FME2021, so your content is now tested against the newest FME. However, that version on Linux no longer includes Python v2.7 - so if your content used Python 2.7, you might find it now fails the test suite and requires an update to use Python v3. New ArticlesA new article on creating 2D network topology is now available on the knowledge base. The first few transformers are what I'd call "Just in Case" transformers. You might not need to snap, deaggregate, or

Hi all,I am attempting to use FME Server apps first time with buffer.I have now setup a very simple workbench just to perform buffer tasks but I am struggling to get this to work with FME Server. I get following error, i have set it up as data download.

I have a csv file that has 259200 rows. The first column CELL_ID has consecutive integers from 1 to 259200. When used this file in the CSV reader, its data type is automatically set to be uint16, which limits its max value to be 65535, consequently all other rows after 65535 are read as NULL. The data type can't be changed. I also notice other issues. For example, one column has many initial rows with a value of 0, so the CSV reader set its data type to be uint8. But this column has many rows with data type of double, and those end up as being read as null . It would be nice if all columns can be changed to be read as string so we don't miss anything. I would say the default settings are not correct in most cases. I have used the CSV reader for years, and this is the first time I notice the bad default settings.

does anyone have any insight on how to connect/query BS&A data directly from there site?

It is possible to read a xml and 'style' it with a xslt file. I've read on the forum FME can only read version 1.0 of the xslt-file.When I try to do this I get an error (creator + xsltprocessor) and i don't know how to fix this/what the error is? Who can help me? :-) Thanks! I've attached an example xml and xslt file + the belonging output (created by the default program...I just want to automate it).

Hi,I have a JSON file containing data for last 24 hours api information and want to convert it to excelThe time and api change accordingly depends on the time we browse to the JSON file. I would like to make the first list as the header but in the Attribute Manager we can't edit the Output attribute value.  This is what I got once I used List Exploder and Attribute Manager.Is there a way I can make the first row as the header? 

Hi all, I would like to get a mobile app using FME Server apps. I am trying to see if there is a way a user takes a photo, then once he takes it uploads that information to sharepoint.This photo then contains your Long/Lat information as it has been geocoded along with the time it was taken. Any suggestions if anyone has done this previously?     

I'm looking for a workflow that would combine Addresses/Attributes from a worksheet to either a 2D Shapefile of building footprints or a 3D fbx model (the FBX model is just the 2D shapefile building footprints extruded). I used geocoder to get address points from the excel sheet and need help moving onto the next steps of moving the attributes from the excel sheet to the 3d models they correspond to.

I need to create a csv to load into another application so I'm using a csv writer. That works perfectly but I get an error becauwe FME uses an "," as a delimter instead of a ";". Does anyone know how I can change this?

Hi All I feel like this should be a simple problem to solve but... I have a dataset containing hundreds of points which represent places which require a delivery. I want to divide these into X equal zones which minimise the amount of travel required for the delivery driver. Having done that, I'd then like to order the delivery points within the area so that they're roughly in order - this doesn't have to be very precise so I may just group and sort by postcode unless anyone has a better suggestion? Any advice appreciated - thanks!

I want to replace attributes from Unicode to without accent.For example : Find âÂăĂđĐêÊôÔơƠưƯ --> Replace aAaAdDeEoOoOuUĂn >> AnĐô >> Do Could you tell me how to replace it by python or other way?Thank you

Thanks for any help!

Question of the WeekIt's been a while since I got to highlight a question, for which I apologize. But here is a question that was asked during our recent replay of the Shapefile webinar. "I have a question: I have a large number of shapefiles that I need to turn on some "Format Attributes" like FME_dataset" and "FME_Basename". Is it possible to turn on these format attributes by default when I put the shapefiles on FME workbench?" So let's have a look at how we can do that. Format AttributesEach feature FME reads has three sets of information. There are user attributes and - for spatial features - there is geometry. But there are other pieces of data that aren't stored in such a way; for example the name of the source dataset, the color of an object, or the size of a piece of text. These are stored as format attributes, and they can be accessed and used in your workspace. Exposing Format AttributesNormally you expose format attributes in t

Hello there I am reading for DB point geometry formated as WKB , how can create a vertex from this wkb filedex: (wkb_geometry: 0101000020E6100000F4FFFF87CF5447401BC047148BD43840 ) why the same point read from csv ( lat,lg) file converted to wkb format using geometry extractor transformer has not the same length as the previous wkb stored in database ( 0101000000d81f259db86224417980c06195f54441) wkb extracted (geometry extractor ) thanks

Total novice question when it comes to the Sentinel dataset - I am using the Sentinel 2 open access dataset, trying to play around with getting vegetation index calculations, I am wondering what the easiest way to clip the raster output to remove cloud cover. Which band should I use to identify cloud cover and is there a vector polygon that is already available in open access with this data?  Thank you very much for your help and have a good weekend.Oliver

CSV to CSV, show only unique values?  I know it can be done in excel using Array Formulas. But I need to it on many CSVs, (analyzing IIS Web logs, want only unique hits). There must be a transformer for this.

I have created city buildings from building footprints and have added attributes to them from AttributeManager. Now I know that 3D tiles cannot be set as readers so is there a workflow to update those attributes without redoing the process of creating them again?

I've 2 solids and I want to use a clipper to split them. But I can't get the clipper working (tried all the options) :-S.So it would be great if somebody could help me :-).I've attached the files and workbench. Thanks!
