Followed the example provided by @jovitaatsafe​, and the workflow appears to be exactly what I need to do with my data, where I have a number of points in different areas, and want to aggregate by count into hexagons.  The hexagons are also showing up in the ocean near Africa, so I'm guessing this is a map projection issue? But not sure where to resolve it exactly.

I've been sent some data - a simplified example would be like the below with XY coordinate points each with an attribute to say whether that location was covered or not. I need to create lines from these points, but I only want lines from the points that are 'Yes' covered, and each section of consecutive points that are 'Yes' covered needs to be a different line. Logically if I could ask the questions... "Are you a 'Yes' point?" and "Is the point before/after you a 'No' point?" I could find the first and last points of each line but I don't know how to do this in FME.Does anyone have any solutions or pointers?Thanks

Hi, does anyone know if Sketchup Writer is compatible with Sketchup version 2020? /Thanks

Hello everyone,I want to download files from USGS. In my workspace I have a Creator connected to HTTPCaller.My HTTPCaller looks like this: When I Run the workspace I get error 'Error running translation'.When I paste this URL to browser and click enter, after about two minutes file starts download but I can't use this URL in HTTPCaller.Any ideas ?CheersAnn 

Hi Guys,I'm wondering why I cant use $(FME_HOME) System Parameter on DGN Writer parameter for path to seed and cell files? When I use this parameter I'm presented with an input error and can't run the workspace. Setting up correct path to seed and cell files is mandatory to any workspace built upon this file format. But it can't hold true that any client is requested to set up these FME specific path!?   Looking forward to hearing any suggestions from you! Thanks Whkarto

Hello! I used this instruction to create a web connection to our ArcGIS Portal: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hBUjSAM/how-to-create-an-fme-web-connection-for-esri-arcgis-portal-feature-service-oauth-20 There is no problem using the ArcGIS Portal reader for reading the branched enabled service. The problem is when I try to use the ArcGIS Portal writer to write to the same service. I get the following error: ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was 'none' and the message was: 'The operation is not supported by this implementation.'. Details: ''A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsA fatal error has occurred.

Hi all, I have a workbench which works fine using FME Desktop. The aim workbench initially is to download two excel files and put them in a folder. Then workbench takes those files and converts information. Main transformer being used is sharepointonlineconnector When attempting to use FME server, it is strangely is trying to create a folder from the workbench but the folder already exists and is mapped.  "Could not Create Folder" - Message Are there any ideas on what could be reason for this? I do think it is setup correctly but unsure on why it is not sticking to just downloading the files to the folder instead of attempting to create a new folder.  

Hi all,​I recently converted data in fme from dgn to osgb.​I then published to postgres table. I can see all the attributes including the shape column. I can see numbers and data in each field and each row. ​The weird part of this now is, I go to Arcgis Pro and try to view data. Majority of dataset 1000 records work fine but there is like 50 rows which when I click zoom in, it does not have the polyline to display even though all the attributes have been generated including shape column.​ I checked FME inspector and everything works fine I tried in geodatabase it works fine but just issue is with postgis.​Any idea on what this issue could be would be huge help. I also did not generate srid for postgres if it helps.​​​​

Hi, Think I put this in the wrong location, moving from Authoring to Desktop. I'm having a difficult time getting global variables to both set and retrieve. I've got a table that is updated with deltas from another table. I need to get the last used number of a unique id in the updated table so that I can create the next sequential number and append the unique id to the one being appended. I'm already using one set of variables (both setter and retriever) for determining when the last modification of the script log file was done in order to grab only the latest ones (this is ultimately going to be a triggered script in FME Server) - this part is working well and I'm getting the latest additions to the table for append.  The part giving me difficulties: Need to read the appendee table to get the max number of an id, ABC2021-00##; where 00## is the max number assigned (can't use count since there could be some deleted items - purposely tested this). Getting max using

Hi,I have been able to download file from this url: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/active_fire/c6/kml/MODIS_C6_Canada_48h.kml in the past. Strangely, it does not work anymore. I am getting ssl connect error. Other than upgrading my FME Desktop from 2019 to 2020, nothing has changed.Any assistance will be much appreciated.Lawrence

I have 1 point shapefile and I want to extract out all those points which are within 10 feet of each other and then have to form separate lines out of them. How should I do this ?

I have countless roof surfaces as MultiPatches from which I would like to determine the highest point (x,y,z) using FME. I can determine the highest Z-value of a roof surface without any problems, but I always get only the Z-value and not the corresponding X and Y coordinates. One possibility would be to calculate a small elevation model for each roof and then use the X and Y coordinates from the cell with the highest Z value, but I would like to avoid this diversions if possible. Is there another more efficient way in FME to determine the highest point (X,Y,Z) of a multi-patch area?

I have multiple (210) jp2 files, FME reads them but the extents seems the same for all of them. Therefore they sit top of each other. If I check the raster files in ArcGIS Pro, they are next to each other and extents are different.The coordinate system is not in the list of FME. I created a custom one using the tool below.https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmedatastreaming/Coordsys/Start.fmw? The coordinate system is ESRI:102717.https://epsg.io/102717 One warning that I am getting when I run the workbench is JPEG2000 reader: `<MYLOCALPATH>\\w_10890984_12_17100_4bd_2017.aux' exists but could not be opened. File contents may be invalid, or the file format may not be supported. 

HiWant to delete all rows from my SQL table. Created the following FeatureWriter to set to delete:However, ran it in my workbench and the database records are still not deleted. Anything that I did wrong? Thanks.

Hi!Since few time I have an error at the begining of the translation.PDF Reader: Failed to open document "xxx\\*.pdf"because it does not exist or because the reader does not have permission to access the fileI replace the path by "xxx" for this post.The path is good and I have permission because when I choose just 1 file manually it works. The problem seems to come to the relative path with the " * ".I don't see that is the problem.Can you help me? Thanks!

I have a workspace on FME Desktop (2019.2), and it uses some Python to create a new container, and then using the AzureBlobStorageConnector transformer, I can reference the new container and upload files there…except that it only uploads fairly small files! I have 10 files, all small, except for a 250Mb (.dat) file, and FME does the smaller files fine, but just stops once hitting the bigger file, and the log says ‘PANIC 55: fatal handler returned (calling abort) - Error running translation.’ I’ve tried changing the Block size limits to larger or smaller values, but still the error persists, and the log file doesn't give much away! Anyone else found this is the case? Does anyone know of any workarounds? Thanks!

I have simple workspace doing a point densification and generalization on polygons: I have three published parameters:the input (Shapefile), the output directory and the output name (Shapefile). I call it from a batch file (it is replacing another tool in a longer chain of commands) like this:fme workspace.fmw  --DestDataset_SHAPEFILE z:/ --ftp_feature_type_name_exp bThis works as intended, taking the default input (z:/a.shp) and writing to both directory and filename I define in the parameters (z:/b.shp)fme workspace.fmw  --SourceDataset_SHAPEFILE z:/b.shp --DestDataset_SHAPEFILE z:/ --ftp_feature_type_name_exp cUsing the --SourceDataset_SHAPEFILE parameter does not work. There is no error message, but it seems the workbench either does nothing or falls back to the default values for all parameters. How can I call a workspace with different input/output data, from console? These are purely geometric operations, so I don't think schema should be an issue (it is the same in these exampl

Hi, I have read a fbx model file (containing 6449 building meshes) and disaggregated it into 6449 elements of _geometry_name types. I then use a Tiler to discretize these elements spatially into 10000x10000 sized tiles. However, the building elements "located" at the tile borders are being classified as <Rejected> and are not included in the Tiled output, even though I have set Duplicate Elements on Tile Borders to yes. In the Tiler Wiki you wrote "Features that lie on the boundary between tiles will be output once in each tile." but I can't get it to do just this. I'm using the latest FME 2020.2.3 The tiler outputs: Tiled features are in green, and rejected (bordering features) in yellow.

I try to recreate a raster using FME which was originally produced using GlobalMapper. The input is a pointcloud, I use the NumericRasterizer and then send it to the GeoTIFF FeatureWriter. We visualize the result in ArcMap 10.7. We also have contours generated. When I zoom in to a contour line it looks like the new raster is slightly shifted: GlobalMapperFMEI did some googling and tried different settings using the RasterCellOriginSetter but this does not seem to change anything. What can I do to fix this? Update: I can't reproduce this issue in QGIS so it looks like it is not correctly interpreted by ArcMap.

One of our main REST API services is changing URLs. This will impact some 100 or so workspaces written over the last 10 years. Some workspaces need to be saved in a specific version of FME to match either the client version or an FME Server version. All of this means I don't want to manually update the workspaces to the new values. While hand editing workspace files is generally not recommended, are there any major pitfalls to just automatically replacing the old url with the new url in a text editor (though it will almost certainly be scripted)?

Hi, I have two datsets which I want to combine using a key. One dataset contains busisness names of companies and the other dataset contains more or less the samen names but there are smalll differences in some cases. I want to join both datsets on the keys which are most equal to each other.  For example: Dataset A:Amsterdam Cars B.V.Rotterdam Cars Deluxe Dataset B:Amsterdam CarsRotterdam Deluxe Cars Any ideas how to solve this issue? Maybe something with the FuzzyStringComparer?

I am trying to construct a webhook that can be consumed by an application. The basic idea is that I pass a variable to the webhook and it retrieves data and there is only a single object that is passed back. I have been able to create it to look like this:[    {        "barcode": "C000176",        "assetid": "F01239",        "description": "Dell Inc. - Latitude 7490",        "type": "Office Equipment",        "location": "Building 1"    }] I need it to be presented like this:    {        "barcode": "C000176",        "assetid": "F01239",        "description": "Dell Inc. - Latitude 7490",        "type": "Office Equipment",        "location": "Building 1"    } I have been able to create a text file (JSON) that produces something like what I am looking for when I am on the desktop.
