I am new to fme, I set up a processing chain to compare two shape files and I would like the output file which will be a renamed shape of the columns.for Example the file checked I have a column called depth_1 I would like the export ca to be depth_upstream.is this possible in fme ? 

Hi guys, I am fairly new in FME but have been working in a workflow and got stuck on something that might be simple solution for some of you. I need to be able of calculating the last calendar day of previous month from today's date. So today being 21/02/2023 my result should be 31/01/2023.  Can you please advise how I can do this ? I have been really struggling to do this and have attempted DateTime Calculator transformer.

Hi, How can I give 3d polygons the height of a base. The ground plane I created with the PointCloudSurfaceBuilder. The 3d Polygons have a z-axis with a value of 0.See the image, the polygons lie above the base and disappear below it.

Hi There, So I am using the: safe.microsoft-sharepoint.SharePointOnlineConnector to download and create .xlsx files in my organization's SharePoint site-- and this transformer is awesome save for one fatal problem...the problem is that the connector only appears to be able to Download or Upload/Overwrite files--but it can not Update existing documents at SharePoint. And the problem is that if a user has the .xlsx document open (in a browser session) the Upload will terminate / fail until all users have closed out of their browser sessions viewing the document. My question: is there a way to Update documents at SharePoint that are being viewed, or is Overwriting the only option. And if the latter is the case, is there a way to terminate all open user sessions of the document at Sharepoint so that the new version can overwrite the old version...Otherwise this transformer, great as it is, is somewhat useless. Any thoughts on this issue, or is it just another "Curse

I am trying to automate creation of highway markers along a highway line feature class. I have been able to create the points along the highways at the correct interval (Using the DistanceMarker transformer) but I can't figure out how to apply the correct distance along that line (in Kms) to the newly created points. Ie. 2km, 4km, 6km, etc. in an attribute for the new point features.

I have one feature, which has two geometry points with text location. I only need one of them. Is there a possibility in FME to delete every geometry, except one?

Hello,As the question group suggest I am new to FME. ATM am doing some test with a .LAZ dataset (825 tiles about 60km X 60km)1-What I want to do is read in the folder were the LAZ files are and read in a shape file (the 60x60km box). 2-clipper, to only use the LAZ tiles that are within my polygon.3-RasterDemGenerator to create the raster in this case a DSM because there is no filter).4-write to .TIFThe main problem here is processing time. I am new but I feel I need to do something about the processing time so I looked up what I can do about it.1 Tiling. If I understand correctly, I can create 7 workers from a main project. So, in my case dividing this project in 2x2 or 4x4 (3x3 would already take 2 runs so logically 4x4 would be my next choice).2 parallel processing. I tested https:/

When publishing a workbench to FME Server under my username and configuring it as an automation or schedule, what is the best practice as every time my username requires a password change the automations/schedules fail. Then one has to go in and modify the connections to update them so it will accept the new password. We are using AzureAD.

I have a StatisticsCalculator that determines the min and max time values in a data set. If I feed the time.min and time.max into a TestFilter to filter out values from another table which are outside of the time.min and time.max range, the filter doesn't filter properly but if I use the actual time value is does. What do I need to do to get the TestFilter to work with the FeatureAttribute?

I'm trying to open my workbench, the .fmw, but when it opens it shows an empty canvas. The workbench (.fmw) is 3.5 mb, the recovery file is empty. It was made with FME Workbench 2019.2.  I've been working days and weeks on the workbench, and foolish enough, my last 'handmade' backup is a week old.....  Is there a way to recover the .fmw file?  

Hello, I am currently trying to process an output from the JSONformatter that has the below structure: name_1:"value_1",name_2:"value_2",name_3:"value_3", etc. The output I want to achieve is a feature set as per the below: name_1 name_2 (as columns)value_1 value_2 (as values) I am able to achieve it to an extent using the JSONFragmenter, but this seems to work only for 1 feature (i.e. name_1). I have tried to use the "+" as explained in the documentation but this instead produces a second row, rather than a 2nd column. May I ask for your advice please? Thank you, George 

Running the attached translator : Test_Pole_geodatabase_file2geojson.fmw, returns the attached Test_Pole.json, but I need the attributes: MEASURE, ACCURACY, VISIBILITY to be nested under a new "QUALITY" attribute. The translator returns this: { "type" : "FeatureCollection", "name" : "Test_Pole", "features" : [ { "type" : "Feature", "geometry" : { "type" : "Point", "coordinates" : [ 5.0735809934, 60.6100338064, 36.882 ] }, "properties" : { "OBJECTID" : 1, "HREF" : "foot", "STATE" : "existing", "MEASURE" : 99, "ACCURACY" : 500, "VISIBILITY" : 40, "MATERIAL" : "metall", "TYPE" : "high voltage", "INFORMATION" : "Example of high voltage" }My goal is to achieve this:{ "type" : "FeatureCollection", "name" : "Test_Pole", "features" : [ { "type" : "Feat

Hi I got this successfully working but seems things to have gone backward and I cannot figure out why my second http caller won't download the files. Hopefully someone can offer a quick solution.

In a FMEserver APP: Is it possible to show the error messages from the log file in the results of a FME server APP? Pdd the user just gets "Failed" or "Completed" as feedback. How could this be done? // Wouldn't it be a nice and useful feature? Thank you.

HiWorkflow as of now: ArcGIS Online App, user clicks a polygon and a run button from the poup. The run button calls a workspace and sends the ID from the polygon using a webhook trigger. The scripts runs using the ID from the polygon. This works fine! But what I need is some sort of confirmation if they intended to run the script, this can't be done via html in the popup. So I was thinking about calling a workspace-app where the user manually have to run the script. So my question is, is it possible to call a workspace app in the same manner as the method Iam using now by sending a parameter to the workspace-app? If not, can anyone think of another solution?  

I have FME Desktop installed on a machine with ArcGIS Server (licensed and site created).

Hi Guys, Right now I'm messing around with getting the corners sharp again after a positive buffer and back to negative. What I have is a polygon with small lines, I want to buffer it, so the small lines will be gone after I do again a buffering. So the first buffer is 5 meters, and the second one is -5. In the first buffer i get straight corners, but when I do the -5, I get rounded ones..... See picture :  What can I do so I get the straight lines back?

Hi,I have a point data set and I want to connect all points that have the same ID to each other. So if four points have the same id, each point should create a line to the other three points. The LineBuilder does not solve my problem because it simply creates an entire line and not just individual ones. I've read a few articles that the VertexCreator could help me, but I haven't found the solution yet.I would be very happy about your help. Greetings, Bastian

Hello, We are experimenting the use of FME as a sales reporting tool. Can someone provide an example of using the GooglePlacesConnector  or some other way of using Google Maps or other geocoding type transformers? Ultimately, my goal is to plug in a store name and have FME process a list of list of stores with address and lat/long across the USA. One example of what I would like to develop would be a list of all Chick-fil-a and Walmart stores in North America with their store number, address, and lat/long location. I can see using this for mayly store names and facility types in the future if it works.Thank you!Matt
