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. The secon

Greetings, I created a very simple Workbench, that reads a ESRI File gdb and exports to AutoCad DXF. I have selected the Attribute Output as Extended Entity Data.The table column is present, but no attributes are showing up in the DXF file. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Clive

I am reading many jxl files. Each jxl has a "CoordinateSystemRecord". 1 for each file. howver this is not a standardized CS as recognized by fme.It has an attribute for ZoneName which is a text value like "New Mexico East 3001" and a SystemName attribute like "US State Plane 1983". How can I use these to set the coordinate system value as the file is read?i currently have the coordinatesystemextractor transformer in my wb. but the value is empty. 

I'm trying to process multiple features (OBJ files) through the same transformer (Rotator). The default workbench is set to start with Reading all the features one by one and applying the transformer. Only after the reading and transforming is complete, starts the writing. how to make each individual Reader-Transformer-Writer process to finish, before continuing to the next one?

Hi everyone I am trying to use FME for a project where I upload GIS data into Minecraft. However, to do a test run I download the maze game on the FME website just to see how the software works. The thing I am stuck on is that I don’t know how to get the FME file into my Minecraft game. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have 3 shapefiles and and 1 spreadsheet I need to import into 1 PostgreSQL/PostGIS table ADM1_area (Shapefile) is linked to the spreadsheet via a name column however due to differences in spellings this may need manual intervention How Do I bring up both the Shapefile name column and the spreadsheet name column and where necessary manually map the values across the two? for instanceMyPlace = My Place (Or one source might have diacritics ) This is probably a manual process as REGEX would take to long The preferred name spelling will then map to the name column in PG table and all other spelling concatenate to a list in alt_names column  The other 2 shapfiles are ADM2_area and ADM2_pointthese form 1 database row that has both geometry and point_geometry columns and are linked to the ADM1_area row via ADM1_name column this needs to be the same name used before and may need intervention When I created the PostGIS connection I could only see how to had 1 geometry column not two? T

I have 2 point shapefiles having 1 common ID but there is some shift between them, I want to calculate the distance between the points with the same ID, how should I do that? I tried some methods but they didnt work out, please help !

Hi! I'm using the HTTPCaller to get records from CSW. I'm using POST as HTTP Method and posting:Request URL: https://www.geonorge.no/geonetwork/srv/nor/csw-dataset<?xml version="1.0"?><csw:GetRecords xmlns:csw="http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2" service="CSW" version="2.0.2"    resultType="results" outputSchema="csw:IsoRecord" startPosition="1" maxRecords="1000"><csw:Query typeNames="gmd:MD_Metadata"><!--            <csw:ElementSetName>brief</csw:ElementSetName><csw:ElementSetName>summary</csw:ElementSetName><csw:ElementSetName>full</csw:ElementSetName>        --><csw:Constraint version="1.1.0"><Filter xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"/></csw:Constraint></csw:Query></csw:GetRecords>The thing is that I want maxRecords to be 10000 to get all records. Max records in the database is between 7000-8000 but I want to build this for expansion.When I'm setting max

So in the Coordinate System Gallery, one can see what units that coordinate system uses (ex: foot, meter, etc.). I need to access the unit of the picked system programatically so I can perform conversions if needed, but I don't see this information available as a feature attribute or property. Is this possible in any way, perhaps with some custom python? Thanks.

Hi,I have two Tables GDB_Grund and GDB_EIG, where I join with the field EZNR with the FeatureJoiner. Now there are two unjoined features from the right(GDB_EIG) with EZNR= 651241256. I know that this is not possible because every GDB_EIG has at least one match, so I checked with the SQL manager and in both tables this value exists. So I used the FeatureManager and there were all Suppliers used, but this is super slow. I created a new Workspace with two Tester which passed only EZNR=651241256 and used the FeatureJoiner again. Here they are joined. Same reader and I copied the FeatureJoiner from the other Workspace. What is going on? Why are there 2 UnjoinedRight with the FeatureJoiner?I am using FME 2019.2x64

A dataset of 900 records contains a string attribute. This string varies in length and contains always a X- and Y-coordinate. Example:":5.781699137962022,"rijksdriehoekX":181934.095,"rijksdriehoekY":474580.092,"rijksdriehoekZ":0 I just want to get the part in bold and created a Regex to select this part. My idea is to replace the complete string and just keep the string part with the coordinates (bold part).  My Regex: rijksdriehoekX":[0-9]{6}.[0-9]{3},"rijksdriehoekY":[0-9]{6}.[0-9]{3}Any ideas how to solve this issue?
