Hello everyone and thanks in advance. I have a geojson of polygons with the fields 'name' and 'area'. I want to know which polygons touch each other but have different area. I have reached the spatial relator with the predicate 'requestor touches supplier'. This generates an output with the 'related_suppliers' field, which indicates the number of polygons that touch the feature. It also generates a list, which I think is where the solution lies. I've come this far but I don't know how to continue. As a final result, I would like a simple table where each record is a neighborhood relationship between polygons. Thank you so much, Pol  

A colleague recently installed Desktop 2018.0 and later on 2018.1. Workspace seems to run correctly but when the inspector pops up it logs the following error:Failed to create the reader in the worker process for 2D rendering We can see the tabular data but the geometry won't show up.  He does have a 2017 version of desktop installed, this installation seems unaffected by this problem. Any ideas where to look / what to do with these symptoms / logs?

Hello Forum, I have several workspaces where I take a series of csv exports from our other applications and convert to useable GIS files such as tab, shp or gpkg. This example is where I am consuming a csv export from our GMS and publishing as .tab to location A and geopackage to location B. The problem I’m seeing is about the size of the output files. For instance, take this part…  The orange circled writer creates this tab…  Which has a combined files size of 56.9mb…  The blue circled writer creates this gpkg, whic

I have a csv file where the geometry is in LL-WGS84, but displayed into a single field like this: (lat, lon). I am very new to FME, but I think I have managed to first use a attribute trimmer to get the parentheses out. I then do a Attribute splitter, which sends the data into a _list. I send list{0} and _list{1} into a newly made latitude and longitude field for the geodb writer, but I get a lot of warnings saying  "FileGDB Writer: The `Longitude' attribute could not be written. The containing feature has been dropped"So latitude gets written, but not longitude, and I dont know whyAnyone know what I am doin wrong?

I would like to know how to build the JSON body for an HTTP POST request to pass in Published Workspace Parameters, opt_requesteremail (who to send an email to), and nm_jobsuccess_topic (which topic to notify on success) for the Data Download Service.  The goal is to interface with another web application where a user can  to submit an asynchronous "report request," that emails a download link when their report has finished processing. I am specifically looking at the POST to avoid any potential issues with large/complex geometries being passed in as a parameter and being too long for the URL. I had started looking into the FME REST API, and figured out how to define the parameters in a JSON body, but eventually ran into an article that states "A Web Service URL looks similar to the REST API Request URL; however, it exists outside of the REST API. A Web Service URL should be used instead of a REST call if you are intending on using the Data

Should it be possible to determine the details of the user or machine that "called" a workspace app shared by a URL link? Currently I'm seeing the name of the "owner" under the "RAN BY" column, but I'm interested in learning more details about the user or machine that made the call.

About the projectWe have individuals checking traps and bait stations (points) located on different properties (polygons).  Every time someone goes to visit a property they create a point record so we know who has been there and when. Output requirementsWe need to fill out a word document (template given to us by the client) for each property we visit. What I thought I could do to automate this process currently being filled out manually by the team lead:Set up an FME process using the property parcels (polygons) and trap and bait station records (points). Use a PointOnAreaOverlayer and add the important point data onto to the property addresses. Each property has one form (filled out with a list of visit dates and who was there). I watched this really useful webinar

If this is a bug in 2022, then I can think of upgrading my FME version to 2023. Please confirm.

I'm sure other people must have workspaces running this, but so far the only transformer I found was the emailer and no Email writer. At the end of the workspace I want to send an email to one of our staff summarizing what happened in the last week (how many traps were visited, names of the land owners and their contact details). This data is of course all in the workspace already. How do I set this up so it goes in one email with ideally a table of the above? Not individual emails per property. When I go into the Body of the Emailer transformer I see there are values I could add in (that looks like lists. They have {}), but when I actually run the process these values are empty in the email. None of them appear. I am not far enough along in my FME journey to understand how lists work yet... I think I might n

I have a csv with numerous fields that have ( 323244,232324245) and would like to know how i can get rid of the brackets and keep the data

Hello fellow FME’ers! I have a case where I need my on prem FME Flow to listen to certain messages from my FME Flow hosted instance. I want job a job to trigger automatically when a FME Flow hosted job has run. It looks like this is not an out of the box thing. Or is it? for the record: I don’t want to solve this with a schedule task!How would you trigger your FME instance A to run after job on FME instance B has run? A can communcate with B, but B can not send messages to A.  

The ERDAS IMAGE Reader cannot workHey！I encountered a problem in using the FME workbench.The problem occurs in FME Desktop 2022.1-FME Desktop2022.2 ，If the ERDAS IMAGE reader has set the “Use Search Envelope” and “Clip To Search Envelope”, it cannot work normally. If FME2022.0 is used, the ERDAS IMAGE reader is no problem.the ERDAS filesize is 16GB​

Hello! I am trying to add an attribute to a table from a dataset that is specified by the user. This input data varies in attributes, so I don't know the format of them beforehand. However, I am consistently just adding 1 attribute to this data and writing it to another table. It looks something like this: The first dataset that I input works fine, but any dataset after that does not match the attributes of the first dataset will not go through properly. I've done some research on dynamic workflows in FME, but I'm still struggling a bit to find a solution to this. Any ideas?

FME(R) 2023.1.0.1 (20230831 - Build 23620 - macosx-aarch64)

This is what I am trying to accomplish in FME:A. Read a .jpg file, clip collars, add GCPs.B. Feed that into a GeoTiff reader to convert to GeoTiff.C. Feed the GeoTiff into a CADRG writer (requires GeoTiff for input). I've done this with some (limited) success using "reader to GeoTiff writer",then "GeoTiff reader to CADRG writer". (see my previous post on how the resultant GeoTiff raster was flipped horizontally) As the GeoTiff is an intermediate format, how can I streamline this flow? Thanksbill  

We are currently using FME server version FME Server 2021.1.3 and FME Workbench 2021.0.1 and we wanted to upgrade the FME server to the latest version, so if we upgrade the server will it be some issues with the old workbench automations already running in the FME Server. Or the old workbench is compatibile for the upgraded FME server ?  

Hello ,i am trying to create a connection by SAS token between FME and Azure it works great when I create SAS token for all data inside the storage container ,then use this SAS token in Azure File storage connector in FME .but in case i specify one folder inside the container then generate new SAS token then use this sas token in FME ,it does not work in Fme .my question : How could I create the connection between FME and Azure storage for only specific folder ?i do not like to let FME has access to all data in Azure Container  FME 2021Thanks in advance  

In a lot off my workspaces I need to fetch some 'global' values based upon user input. Example: user needs to provide project name: first check if projectname complies with the rules, once that is ok, use some api's to fetch global values for that project.Now those global values are in an attribute and need to keep track of those when using attributekeepers, list builders,...I can set them as a global variable with variable setter but it means that I need to use a lot off variable retrievers (10+).  Is there a way that I can put that value in a private parameter so that I can use it across the workspace without the variable setter and retrievers?

Hello everyone! I'm a new FME Desktop user seeking some guidance. I've successfully managed to join tabular data with an existing GIS layer and write the data using the ArcSDE Geodb writer with the "truncate" option to update an existing feature class. Now, I'm looking to automate a new process in FME. Specifically, I want to join a table to a feature class and calculate one of the fields in the feature class using a value from the table I've joined. Is it possible to achieve this without overwriting the entire feature class, only updating the specific field's value? Your insights and assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone, I am relatively new and in my current position I am replacing someone who was a bit more advanced than me. I understand a lot of what the workspace is trying to do (and it worked in FME Server) but once we migrated to FME Flow, the workspace no longer works. The premise is similar to the FME Demo "Map Based Data Distribution". The difference in our workflow has an Input Project Area instead of an Area of Interest which allows the user to upload a shapefile or use our municipal boundaries which is stored in our Repository. We also create a waiver for our Digital Licensing Agreements, but that's a User Parameter with "yes/no" and with either setting, the workspace/app fails. I've included images for the parameters for the FeatureReade

Hello everyone, I am currently exploring the generation of displacement vectors between two sets of coordinates in a point cloud, with the aim of creating graphical representations for further analysis. My current situation involves the availability of two distinct pairs of coordinates for each point, and the aim is to create arrows indicating the direction of displacement, with a length proportional to the displacement of each point. However, I am facing a major difficulty concerning the scale of these arrows, which must be adjusted so that they are visible on screen or on a plane. I've appended the script I've developed so far, but I notice that it doesn't take the notion of scale into account. More precisely, the problem lies in the inability of the "Scaler" transformer to allow individual definition of the X and Y coordinates of each point, which is necessary to determine the origin of each arrow. Does

I have geodatabases, which can contain strictly structured data of linear utilies and related objects, such as powerlines, utility poles etc. However, geodatabase sometimes contains only powerlines, sometimes only poles, sometimes powerlines, poles, power plants and more. So, one geodatabase may contain two layers of data with strict and specific names and attributes, the other may contain all of defined layers, and so on. I convert this geodatabase into an XML file through XMLTemplater provided with an input from XSD file. Since the structure of the geodatabase is always the same, XML Templater allows me to set the template beforehand, and XMLTemplater just writes the attributes afterwards. The reduced ROOT template looks something like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><geodatabase:Utilities xmlns:gss="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/

Hello Everyone im still new to FME i been given a task to run a topology rules by referring all the rules from esri gdb as shown in the image that has been attached with. My problems is that i already did some reading that FME is capable to do topology rules checking by using TopologyBuilder but i have no experience on how to operate the builder to do topology checking on Area, Line and Point, Can anyone help me with this situation ?

I have switched from using a custom transformer to a linked custom transformer for the sake of reusability. While there were no errors when I ran it with the local custom transformer, I started encountering an error message randomly after seeing the "Translation was SUCCESSFULLY" message, which reads "Error missing translation." after I changed it to a linked custom transformer. Here's some additional information that may help:1) The number of records outputted by the custom transformer in both cases is the same.2) In both scenarios, they were executed in "Moderate" mode with parallel processing.3) Debug logs are enabled, and although there are some "BADNEWS" messages, they were present in both cases. Can anyone provide me with some hints or guidance to resolve this unknown error message?" Here below is the screen capture for the error message.
