I'm having trouble reading a collection of .ADF ArcGrid files. The error I'm getting has been attached. The log file seems to indicate it is looking for a file named W001001.adf. But as you can see from the 2nd screenshot (data) showing the files, W001001.adf is not one of my files. I'm not sure where this is coming from. What could be causing this?

I have a process I would like to automate.  Every week I go out into the field and collect gps locations with a few attributes. I export the gps locations as a .gpx file. I open the .gpx file in Google Earth to visually verify the data. I save place as a .kml file. I convert the .kml file to an AutoCAD .dwg file using FME.  Does anyone else do something like this? Hardware used:Motorola Moto g7 phone running Android 10 OSLenovo T495 Laptop running Windows 10 OS Applications used:US Topo Maps app on phone Google Earth Pro 7.3.3.7786 (64-bit)FME Desktop 2019.2 FME(R) 2019.2.3.1 (20200212 - Build 19823 - WIN64)AutoCAD LT 2021

hello there a mobile app to collect data from the field and we are getting coordinate value and accuracy value the accuracy is changing for each location is there a way we could adjust the coordinates based on the accuracy long: 42.725667797161lat : 18.35510516986accuracy 5.22930621796in other terms what will be the coordinate value if the accuracy is close to 0 Thanks   

Hello, I am trying to compare changes between 2 excel files containing borehole samples. I am new to the change detector transformer but my understanding is it needs a unique ID to be able to detect Updates but additions and deletions can be detected without one. My data is a bit irritating as a sample needs to be identified using 4 different fields (Borehole ID, Depth Top, Sample Ref, Sample Type) but when I have these 4 fields selected in the "Update Detection Key Attributes Field" it produces many extra results on a test sample.  Any advice?

The posts created in the new community is sorted latest-first, which makes sense (and is consistent with the old community) because latest are typically more relevant.But when I click on "View more" to see the old (and migrated) posts, they come in a random order.Would it be possible to set the sorting timestamp on these to be equal to the original posting date (or last comment/answer, if that's more correct) ?CheersLars

I can change (rename) the autocad_entity_handle of objects. But when I write them back to dwg they will get new handles. Looks like when writing to a dwg the objects in the dwg will get new handles :-S I'm looking for a solution to write to a dwg and have control of the handle-names of the objects. Who can help me? :-) 

 Hi all, I am getting Geodatabase Error (-2147024893): The system cannot find the path specified, when trying to fanout a dataset and writers are drop and create. It works for some areas but not others. Could be path length issues? Any ideas? Directory: "$(FME_MF_DIR)..\\_FME Outputs" Fanout Expression: "@Value(Area_Ref) @Value(Area_Name)\\@Value(Area_Ref) @Value(Area_Name) Outputs.gdb"  (as per clients request i cannot change this folder structure) Thanks!

Bonjour,Nous devons traiter en masse des fichiers dgn pour lesquels nous n'avons pas l'information de la projection (selon la zone de travail ils peuvent être en L1, L2/L2E, L3, L93). Nous traitons à la fois des DGN V7 et V8. Y-a-t-il un moyen d'identifier la projection des objets entrant (via un champ du DGN qui serait rempli 'automatiquement' par les applis ou par déduction des X/Y)? Avez-vous un retour d'expérience sur ce type de problématique?Merci d'avance, Cordialement,

Hi I have a number of zip files. I would like to extract these and copy only specific ones to a folder. The list of required files is in a text file.Any idea of the best way to achieve this

I am converting a JSON file to a table in arcgis online. This data needs to be updated every day. How do I update a table in arcgis online from external data (JSON)? I'm always getting errors ... Or at least delete and create a table again every time the workspace is set up.thank´s

I am currently trying to make a workbench which matches jpeg_exif_datetime attributes to a time interval from a google sheets document.  I have a list of start times and end times stored as attributes which I have converted to FME datetime format and FME datetime interval.   I have also exposed the jpeg exif data and converted this  So far I've tried two methods and feel like I'm getting close but can't quite get it to work.  I tried using an inline querier but I haven't managed to get that to work.  I can get a tester to filter the ranges using a published parameter of the datetime str

i don't necessarily need the entire translation log displayed in the command window but the features written summary would be nice.

What would be the fastest way to work out deltas between a feature service in portal and and the original dataset. We are talking about a table with over 700K records in it.

How can I delete an AGOL table with FME? Thank´s

Hello, I noticed that in the Coordinate System Gallery it is missing the EPSG:3794 for Slovenia. Am I correct or I am looking for something wrong?

I would like to reuse some parts of a workspace in such a way that the combination/module of transformers is only written once but used by "many". I would like to reuse these "modules" so that it can be used by different streams. A simple example to explain what I am after: Imagine that I have created a group of transformers that conducts some wizardry, a module of sorts. How can I use this in such a way that it makes copies of a Feature, applies different amounts of "something" and then fans out the result in a file for each "something"? I understand that the question is vague, I was hoping for suggestions for further reading so that I could try and understand the principles for this. Should I be looking at custom transformers? Child workspaces? Or is there an other way to achieve this?

Hi FME'ers,Have you ever - as I have - wondered why some software installers are different? For example, some software is just a standalone file that runs by itself without installation; some have an installer that simply installs the software to a specific location; some ask you to extract the installation files first; and others install a manager that then downloads and installs the actual software. Well this week I found out a few secrets about installers, and that happened because I discovered that the FME Desktop installer is changing for Windows in 2021. Current vs New InstallerThe current FME Desktop installer is a .msi file that simply installs FME where you want. The new installer will be a .exe file that first asks you to extract the contents to a temporary folder. It's a "bootstrapping" technique, to use the technical term. The process extracts the installation files and then automatically ru

Hello everyone, I recently tried to install the paramiko library in my FME environment using the command: fme.exe python -m pip install paramiko --target C:\\Users\\NMI\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python On my local machine it works as expected. When I try to install it at the customer however it fails with the error message: Installing build dependencies: finished with status 'error' Further in the log it returns the following information (newline characters have been added to improve the readability): Expected an even number of command line arguments, instead got 9 for command line: >> `pip' `install' `--ignore-installed' `--no-user' `--prefix' `C:\\Users\\NMI\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-build-env-ilnw8_md' `

Have the same issue in FeatureMerger, all remains unmarked. So the data which looks identical and should merge is invisibly different (did trim it)

Hello, I am trying to retrieve lat/long/rotation attributes from jpegs sitting on Azure but can't get it working.  My workflow is as follows:I read features from AGOL with attachments, attachments get stored on Azure Blob Storage, then I try to retrieve lat/long/direction of jpegs and write these data somewhere else.Attachments coming from AGOL or Azure come in binary format; which makes exposing jpeg's metadata tricky. I have no problem getting lat/long/direction if jpegs sit on my harddrive. I've tried to use BinaryDecoder, got (TextEncoderFactory): Invalid Base64 character 'ÿ' error. I've tried RasterReplacer. It shows the actual photo but AttributeExposer doesn't expose metadata this way. Below are screenshots of my workspace as well as attachments' attributes: 

Hi, so there may have been a bug in my SQL (I'm not convinced) I tried to fix it and it still didn't work then I cleared the sql in the Where clause and it still reported a error. I then created a new sql reader from the same DB connection and got an error. next I replaced the DB connection. the older reader that had the sql in the where clause still reported an error. the newer reader that never had sql in the where clause works. both report that they are using the DBconnection 'GISDW_test. the older one has the error:Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Query failed, possibly due to a malformed statement. Query Text `SELECT [mirn], [year], [state], [readingType], [maxFlow], [janDays], [jan], [febDays], [feb], [marDays], [mar], [aprDays], [apr], [mayDays], [may], [junDays], [jun], [julDays], [jul], [augDays], [aug], [sepDays], [sep], [octDays], [oct], [novDays], [nov], [decDays], [dec], [slope],
