Hi,I have an esri shape layer with point, the points represent a road and have a direction. Every point has the attribute "location". This attribute has the values "0" ; "1" ; "2". I want to create for every point an offset in a right angle to the direction of the road.location = 0 ==> no offestlocation = 1 ==> left offsetlocation = 2 ==> right offset I want to store the result as shape file.Has somebody some ideas how I can manage my workbench?Thanks and best regards.

Hi everyone,I am trying to build a workflow that does the following greedy clustering using either FME transformers or Python Caller. Does anyone have tips for me to approach this challenging problem? Thanks in advance!@takashi @david_r

i tried converting GML to 3dtiles using fme workbench 2018.The conversion was successful.But there was a data loss in the resultant 3d tiles.I have level of detail values in the gml data.But there are no level of details in the converted 3d tiles.Why they are absent in the tileset.

I have an urgent question regarding the transformer "NeighborhoodAggregator".The following numbers are used for the width and height which are equivalent to 0.0316897 (mile).I also used 2D Gridder to visualize the width and height and it looks like the following image. My question is that how come my 2 points which are 0.0316897 (mile) apart, do not get aggregated. I am using EPSG:4326 for my coordinate system. By the way, what is the difference between doing buffer/dissolve compared to using NeighborhoodAggregator?

Using the FeatureReader to load data. The source is coming from an email. I have set up FeatureReader to generate a output port with the attributes from a previous data source that has the same file name and attributes. But in subsequent load, the name of the file changed so FeatureReader didn't run. If I use generic port, I would have to expose the attributes but I have 16 workbenches I would have to edit (each FeatureReader is for a different data type).So is there a way to modify the original data source to be named the same during the running of the workspace to match what is in the workspace? or should I just suck it up and expose the attributes? or is there something else I can try?

Howdy,I've just run an inspector on a reader. Trying to get a visual feel for how the data looks before I put it through an attribute manager. Turns out this is feature type has a lot of features in it, and its taking ages for the inspector to return anything. Is there a way the inspector can just return top n features? If not could you build one?Thanks!Dan x

WorkspaceRunner in FME 2018.1 still is Version3, and still fails, anyway to upgrade Runner Version to the debugged one promised?

Hello,Does anyone have experience automating the download of data packages from the BC Data Catalogue (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset?download_audience=Public)? There are dozens of provincial datasets I would like to automate the download of on a weekly basis to keep the data updated for my organization, the problem is that they require submitting a AOI (or mapsheet) and an email before receiving the zipped data package in an email.Thanks! 

Dear FME community.I try to calculate distance between a suit of points like that :For that I make a sorter > counter and I try an AttributeCreator without success.Have you got an idea ?Thanks for your help

want to do something like this in FME Original Table Age  Number 0-10 5 10-20 10 20-30 230 plus  4 Create new attribute with range values or group values in Name field by ranges. The only way I can think of is to use Attribute Creator and use conditions to set up each category range. I am hoping there is an easier way of doing this. Lee!

Hi, i'm trying to run a simple workbench with @DateTimeNow(local) on FME 2018 (build 18578)  / windows 7 French but i get this error: DateTimeStamper: Failed to load timezone data. current_zone() failed: A mapping from the Windows Time Zone id "Romance standard time" was not found in the time zone mapping database.. Please visit http://www.safe.com/supportDateTimeStamper: Failed to evaluate expression '@DateTimeNow(local)'. Result is set to null It works with FME2017.1 running on  Windows 7 fr or FME2018 running on windows 10 fr. Do you know what to do to avoid that?Thank you,David

Hi All,I am doing the feature matching. wherein I have two sources [Line feature] and I am using a distance chopper to chop the line feature at a specific distance and then neighbor finder to find the nearest feature. but I am getting some falls positive in my final output. not sure what is going wrong.In input layers, there is no common attribute which can be used at later stages.Can someone suggest a solution to this? Please Find the attached screenshot herewith. in this screenshot blue line is one source, the green line is another source used for matching. and red lines are output. 

Hello all, I'm just trying to automate a process by creating a DEM with a shapefile which has elevation attribute to it. Once I've got it working with one shapefile I'd like to add further shapefiles. I've tried using the DEMGenerator and the RasterDEM but when checking the output (.tif) in the inspector instead of seeing a raster with a value from 0 to 100 for example it has a value of 0? I can see the data looks fine before it goes into the DEMGenerator and after selecting the attribute with the elevation it appears to then have a value of 0 for some reason so perhaps I'm missing something from the configuration?I can do this in ArcMap fine but I'm just wanting to streamline this process. Thanks in advance

Hey there,I recently tried to run a workspace I created a month ago where I download the latest Sentinel-2 image via the FeatureReader (Sentinel-2 on AWS format) based on an intersection with a shape file. The workspace used to work out fine.Now, the workspace fails early at the FeatureReader with the following error message:Imagery on AWS Reader: Error listing 'http://sentinel-s2-l1c.s3.amazonaws.com/?delimiter=/&prefix;=tiles/32/U/MC/'. Check the reader filters or try again later. The error was 'FMEException: 931363: Imagery on AWS Reader: Error downloading 'http://sentinel-s2-l1c.s3.amazonaws.com/?delimiter=/&prefix;=tiles/32/U/MC/'. Check the reader filters or try again later. The error was '403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: http://sentinel-s2-l1c.s3.amazonaws.com/?delimiter=/&prefix;=tiles/32/U/MC/''Does anyone encountered the same error message? Is it possible that the imagery downloading service is temporarily unavailable or did it changed the permissions (regardi

Hi,Hoping someone can help with this. I have installed both 32 and 64 bit FME Desktop on a machine. The UAC settings and some of the local policies were not set properly when I installed, they have since been changed. I was able to register my Desktop FME for my user, but another user account that also has admin rights on the machine shows that the FME still needs to be registered. I have in the past done this and FME was available for all users after registration. What gives? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall now that the UAC and Local Policies have been modified? All other software on this machine works for either user. The reason for two users is that we want to have a service account run scheduled tasks for FME. Which there are currently 5 scheduled tasks set up with the service account and 2 run, the three with FME in them don't.Thanks

How to auto run FME jobs after changing/updating source EXCEL file?

I have a task that need extract several excel workbook , then rename and combined based on a key; The result also write to an Excel workbook which I have a template; My question is how to order the results based on Template columns Names. I can manually re-order them, but I am handling excel sheet with 100 and 300 columns source tables, if I manually re-order, that needs every time to re-order again; See attached image: Template has " ILI Reference Girth Weld"; FME has "NDE Report Issue#" after "Dig Phase #"; I also can read the Template and get the order, but I don't know how to merge to the workflow, also feel redundancy since Writer already reference the Template. Any solution to this issue? Thank you.

How can i run fme quick translator using cmd and perform conversions without defining fmw file.

Hi,I've installed FME Desktop 2018 and have a script that uses DonutBuilder to intersect areas with each others. Before this transformer I have a sorter to sort my areas to get the lowest symbol first. It works OK in 2017, which I just tried on my laptop. The problem in 2018 is that it seems that the DonutBuilder can't handle all the areas that overlap. Does anyone have a solution for this?Regards and thankful for help!/Ann

I need to ensure that the polygons created are in ascending order from the first polygon which is known or can be found. I think there is a transformer in 2018 that can do this but I am using 2016. I have tried using NeighbourFinder and sort by ascending distance which is OK as long as the polygons do not turn back towards the first one.
