General

I have two point datasets, GPoints (~100 points) and OPoints (~1000 points), and I want to find the nearest neighbor for each GPoints entry. However, the nearest neighbor from OPoints must have an ID that matches the values from 2 possible columns in GPoints. In this case the column names are id1 and id2. E.g.The first entry in GPoints has values of id1 = 9001 and id2 = 9005. Therefore the nearest neighbor from OPoints must have an id of 9001 or 9005 (whichever is closest to the entry in GPoints current being analyzed). In SQL this would be WHERE OPoints.id = GPoints.id1 OR OPoints.id = GPoints.id2.

After it begins running, I have this message: Error: The log file for job ID "19099" does not exist.However, I can see it (only the job id and the workspace number) in the running jobs section.

I have workspaces looking a data quality which are automated on fme server. I am looking to record the monthly number updates from the workspaces and was wondering is there a way a writer can create a new file with a new name (e.g jan 2023 or Feb 2023) instead of just overwriting the current one?

Hi all, I'm wondering if it is possible to preserve the order of (unexposed) attributes when they come out of the Generic port of a FeatureReader. The attributes are coming out ordered alphabetically, I want them to remain in the order they appear in the schema. My process involves a dynamic FeatureReader to grab data records, a SchemaMapper to map (some) attributes to new names, a SchemaScanner to determine the new schema and a dynamic writer to write features out in the new schema. The problem I have is that the new schema is coming out with attributes in alphabetical order, rather than in the original order (with the old attributes mapped to their new names). Is it possible to preserve the attribute order from the Generic port of a FeatureReader? Thanks!

I am right now struggling to understand this issue. I have read XML several time with FME several times and never encountered this problem. I have an XML file that just lists a couple of airports with some basic information. The xml file looks like this: I read it like this: But when I read it in, this is what I get out of it: What is going wrong here?

Hi, we have several workbenches deployed to FME Server that use the ArcSDE Queirier, which is deprecated. It was reading data from an .sde and deleting the data based on a WHERE clause, and the translation was continued on the output ports of the transformer. What is a transformer that I can use in its place that meets the above requirements?

I'm using FME Workbench 2022.2.24. In the window title and startup screen, it shows Workbench 2022.2, not the full version 2022.2.24. (I also have Workbench 2022.2 installed so this is confusing.) I would prefer seeing the full version number in both of these places. I haven't starting using FME Form 2023.x yet. Does anyone know if the behavior is the same?Should I post this as an Idea? It seems like a vey minor issue.

I have a database table that contains many attributes, one of which is controlled by a domain of acceptable values. I have a list containing a unique list of these valueI want to step through this list and each time through the loop select just the records from the table that would be selected if the unique value were inserted into in query:SELECT * FROM Table WHERE AttribInQuestion = WhateverColorFor instance, "Red" the first time through the loop would return:I've setup my Reader to read the SQL table I want to query, generated a List of my unique values, and created a TestFilter. The TestFilter works if I just type 'Red' into it, but I cannot figure out how to feed the filter a variable to save my life. I'm not asking about the looping (I've created a custom transformer for that), what I'm asking about is how to insert the 'Red' value into my filter using a variable? Thank you for any help you can provide. K

Can anyone suggest a really good changedetector tutorial or documentation? I'm having difficulties understanding the output where a change in attributes and/or geometry is found. I can't tell which attributes changed (before and after) and I'd like to see exactly where the geometry change is instead of only seeing which features have changed. Hope that makes sense. I'm still learning.

Say I have the following data;for which I can see the following information in the Feature Information window;feature 1; text (bytes): 48656C6C6Ffeature 2; text (string: UTF-8): WorldIs there a way that I can filter the features on the basis of the indicated data type (i.e. 'bytes' vs 'string (UTF-8)'?

Examples:10 > 105.1 > 5.0999999046325610.1 > 10.10000038146972720.1 > 20.10000038146972717.6 > 17.60000038146972720.3 > 20.2999992370605478.4 > 8.3999996185302735.3 > 5.30000019073486207.97 > 207.97000122070312

Hi there I am trying to connect a reader to sharepoint to read some information in. When I press authenticate this is the error that I get. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?  All the best-Ed

Either directly or using Python?

Hi guys, i'm having an issue when i run my workspacerunner. Undefined macro `UNIT' dereferenced in file `G:\\wb-xlate-1690810120428_4936' I't s workbench build in an older version (2021) of FME. And now i want to run it in 2022 FME version. But it keeps saying that error. I also tried to create an new workbench, with new readers.....but it won't work. What I am doing wrong? :(

One thing I prefer to do when building a new FME tool is to log the input parameters in a startup python script in order to facilitate debugging when things go wrong. A sample of the code I use is below.import fmeobjects fmeobjects.FMELogFile().logMessageString("Input parameter 1: ") + FME_MacroValues["parameter1"], fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)fmeobjects.FMELogFile().logMessageString("Input parameter 2: ") + FME_MacroValues["parameter2"], fmeobjects.FME_INFORM)This has worked great for a long time, however it's cumbersome because I need to manually enter the names of the parameters. I'm curious if there is a method for returning the names of parameters dynamically in the startup python script, and then loop through them to include in the log file. If this is possible, I could keep my startup script the same between all tools and simply copy it into new tools without having to modify. 

How to get home licence in fme 2023 version

i have multi rows coming from the source and I want all that rows in one single row and layout same as I mention below Data Source coming like thisI want Output like this in one single Row and the same layout

When viewing (in FME server) my workbench that I uploaded tot FME server I see different Advanced Feature Type Parameters settings then in my Workbench on FME desktop. In my workbench the settings of my writer are 'insert, drop and create' after I upload the same workbench to FME server the settings in server seems to be 'insert, create if needed'.Why is that? I do not expect the settings change while uploading tot FME server. If I run the workbench from server the outcome is that the writer used the 'Drop and Create' and not the 'create if neded'...this behavior is confusing settings in my Workbench on desktop: the settings in FME server of the same workbench after uploading to server:

We have photos in jpg format that were taken with a DJI drone. Usually all EXIF data are easily accessible using the JPEG reader, but not the DJI custom metadata. We need to access the data that shows up when opening the image in a text editor: I tried reading the files with a text reader, but that gives several thousand lines of text and no way of seeing which line of text is connected to which image. This should be a common problem for everyone with a DJI drone? Any suggestions for now and maybe a DJI photo reader or DJI EXIF reader in the future?

Hi folks, I have LAS files that are in zipped and stored in a folder. There are 16 LAS files to each zip. Furthermore there are about 100 zips in the folder I'm accessing the data from! The zip files are about 2.5GB on average and I would like to process each zip at a time (sheet1.zip, sheet2.zip etc). I'm adding height attribution to building polygons using a clipper which is a blocking transformer, then the point cloud statistics calculator. I can use the Directory reader to produce a list of zipped files and feed these into a Feature Reader, then use a clipper to clip the LAS data to the building polygons. However the clipper is a blocking transformer which will wait for the FeatureReader to finish. Ideally I want one building polygon dataset for each zip (sheet1.shp, sheet2.shp etc). I need to somehow loop back to the start of my workspace and start again with the next file on the list produced by the directory reader. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm looking for information regarding writing features to geopackage with geometry compatible with Geomedia. I have found the article dealing with Geomedia geometry in Oracle (listed below), but nothing for geopackage. In my testing, FME successfully writes, but the tables are not visible in Geomedia. https://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/oracle_spatial/GeoMedia_Geometry_Repres.htm

Is there by any chance some kind of 'Paste as Text' option when Copy-Pasting text (often from online sources) to Annotations in Workbench? Personally I sometimes copy online sources to Annotations. However, I constantly struggle that also formatting is copied. For example, when I copy the following from this FME Community question;and paste it in an Annotation of FME Workbench, the result is;Whereas I would like to get;Is there some option/menu in FME Workbench to do so? I'm looking for something similar to the 'Keep Text Only' paste option in Microsoft Office.  ps. Currently my way to work around this, is to first paste text to notepad, and then to Workbench.

I would like to write some messages to the Log, at the end of a successful Translation.For example, the source schema & table name and the destination schema & table nameIs there a FME Transformer that can write a user parameter to the Log? With some surrounding text?

I am trying to get the result when both "insert" and "unchanged" have values, but if one of them doesn't have a value, it's going to fail. Can anyone please help?
