I have migrated data into Utility Network but have a large amount of duplicate stacked point features. They all need to remain but the network topology will remain dirty unless I find a way to make these duplicate XY's unique. After testing a few manually, it seems to work if I add a z value of 1 to only the duplicate points and revalidate topology. So if I could add a z-value of 1 to only the duplicates using FME, it would solve my issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am trying to read in a csv and write the contents into a javascript file. It works at least 90% of the way and looks like this when I export the features:[ { feature1: value1, feature2: value2 }, { .... } ] I would like to insert the text "var data = " at the beginning of the file, like so:var data =[ { feature1: value1, feature2: value2 }, { .... } ] Is it possible to insert this text in the file before the JSON writer writes out the contents?  Another detail is that this CSV file has over 5 million rows. It is difficult to open the file and write in the text or use powershell commands. Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone I am completely new to FME capabilties. We currently use Civil 3D 2023 and were looking for a simple way to create a geospatial PDF from a Civil 3D Drawing (DWG) file. Just wondering what solutions FME offers for this? Thanks everyone!

Hi, we're getting an out of memory issue running a workbench in 2022.2 that runs fine on the same computer in version 2021. Has the way the vertexd creator processes data changed?

Hello I have to migrate a MySQL DB to a Postgres DB. The input DB contains about 200 different tables. Some fields of these tables contain url. Before migrating these urls, I would like to validate them. I have created a workspace which works perfectly fine using a sequence of transformers HTTPCaller transformer.Before publishing it to FME Server, I would like to define some parameters amongst which the name of the table and the name of the field containing the url to check. Is there a way to do this? I have tried to use published paramaters which is ok for the fieldname but I cannot see how to do it on reader feature type. Thanks in advance for your help.I would like to create a workspace using a MySQL DB containing about 200 tables as input to let user define the table (and the field)

For some reason the .fmw script does work on FME desktop ( 2021.2.3) and does yield an output (in my case a geojson). When I import the script on FME Server (version 2021.2.4) then the script is completed without raising any error, but doesn't write the file on a map. I am quite sure that  the Published parameter "Destination JSON file" is correctly written. When I look at the view details tab after the script has been completed, I see a lot of statements with Nuke or TeeFactory. I read on the following link in the answer of merlingeorge: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00009fDZGRSA4/disabled-nuker-1-50-teefactory- that it might have to do with version incompatibility. Might that also be the case in my situation? I would assume there wouldn't be much differences between FME desktop 2021.2.3 en 2021.2.4. By the way, some li

Whenever we try to use a Reader or Writer to connect to ArcGIS Portal we're getting the error "Type 3, Number 1, Message: Failed to get authorization header" when using the [...] file browser button in the Service Parameters dialog.(Workbench >> Add Reader >> Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service >> {add portal url} >> Parameters >> {select auth type: Web Service} >> {select portal web connection} >> [...] file browser >> >>> ERROR)We've verified the portal Web Connection works (Tools >> FME Options >> Web Connections >> Manage Services >> {select portal connection} >> Test). Ho

I have a single table, TABLE1. I have a field named STE. I would like to select the values of STE that are NOT NULL, then add the selected values in STE to the ADDR field in same table. What is the most suitable transformer(s) to go about doing this?

I have two Geodatabase Feature Classes, FC1 and FC2. I want to relate the GIS_ADDR field in FC1 to the ADDR_BASE field in FC2.  Once the relate is established, for the matching (selected) records in GIS_ADDR in FC1, I will then update the ADDR_SRCE field which is currently empty with the value "ADS"; for the records that do not match I will add the value "Res".  I know how to do this in ArcGIS Pro. What is the best approach to do this in FME?

Is there an attribute that can read labels, ie. I have some pipe geography with labels allocated from the search engine. They are clunky and are not well placed. I was wondering if its possible to read these and redistribute?

Is it possible to read text that has been written on the geodata and has not been tabulated? for example a box representing a building with a label in the middle displaying building number 4.

We want to purchase a single-fixed license for one of our virtual machines and we were wondering what that is linked to? What if we have to destroy the virtual machine, then we can't reuse it?Thanks in advance!

I would like to update an email address within a published parameter. I am able to edit the value but when I hit the Save button it gives me an error and says it cannot save and save to another location. What am I not doing?

I am currently running FME Server 2022.0.0.2 Build 22343 and FME Desktop 2022.0.1.0 Build 22346. My question is whether it is safe to keep the FME server at its current build version. Would it be better to upgrade the FME server to the same version as the FME desktop? It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist with this.

I did go into C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME and deleted the License folder within, but that won't refresh anything that shown in FME Desktop Licensing Assistant. I am looking to see 0 under "In Use" column shown in the Licensing Assistant little window.1) How do I refresh the license server (? I do know its name -- hostname of my floating license server-- if that what it takes to see the 0 under "In Use" column?2) I need to release the seat so I can reuse it to license the FME Desktop again after I'm done with re-installing the app (Currently it keeps saying the one seat is still "In Use." Is it because I didn't not release it properly by just doing an 'accidental' uninstallation of my FME Desktop prior?3) Do I need to do anything with the register key it gave me?Thanks.

I'm still new and learning FME. I've added GDA2020 zone 56 (EPSG:7856) to 4 las files within FME. I've run this by add reader function of LAS files with no coordination system and using the add writers function to select the coordination system and the output file. They output the correct coordinate system but took over 3 hours to run for 4 LAS files. Is there a quicker way to added coordinate system for LAS file within FME, as I have to run over 1100 LAS files?

Hello everyboy! I got two different point feature classes.  The neighbor finder lets me do the 1:1 and 1:n relation which is fine.  Now i would like to perform a spatial many to many (m:n) relation of the points of the two feature classes but i can't figure out a decent way to do this in fme. I really appreciate your help! Thanks a lot!René

Hi, I'm Pol and I'm quite new to FME. In one task I have created voronoi cells from points that share the same value of an attribute and at those points that have a unique attribute value I have created a buffer of a given radius. I did this in order to create an influence map for a certain attribute.The problem I've run into is with the overlapping buffers on the border of the voronoi cells. This is the current result:  this is the desired result:   How can I do it? I've tried the donut builder and the hole extractor but I can't get it to work. Any help is great, thanks in advance. Pol   

Hi, I have three features; each feature has a lat and long column. How do I read the lat/long to visualise the features as points on a map (e.g. HTML map or in the Visual Preview within FME)?

I have an Excel spreadsheet in my Reader. I am using AttributeManager to change field names. I am writing to an ESRI Geodatabase.  FieldX has values of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. What is the best way to add a hyperlink to this field? so that values look like Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 and when clicked the link opens. The hyperlink is the same URL for all the values. I am able to add the hyperlink URL to FieldX in AttributeManager, but the result is it shows the actual URL, not the linked value (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3) in the field.

Hi all,I have an excel file. They have id, photo fields.The photo field include multiple url image. If I use ImageFetcher, I can't download the attribute include multiple link. Could you share to me how to fix it? Thank you  

EDIT:I have created a text parameter with value contractor_log and used that as the layer name in both, this seems to have fixed the problem (not fully tested yet). This seems to be more of  a hack than a proper solution. Is there a 'more correct' way I should be doing this? Hey, I have a workbench that manipulates some input data, then it checks an arcgis online table (contractor_log) to see if this particular mobile number exists in the AGOL table. I need the AGOL table to be UPDATED if the mobile number exists in the table, but if it is new (non existent in the AGOL table) I need FME to INSERT a row into this AGOL table, which is a dozen field to insert. I have inserted the AGOL WRITER into my workspace, setup my UPDATE writer which works perfectly, I now wish to duplicate this writer to setup my INSERT, but when I create a copy of this it must contain a unique layer (table) name, which is not ideal, as I want both writers connecting to t

Hi, I have a parameter in my workbench that I want to lock down to expect a 10 digit phone number. Here in Australia they all start with 04, so I am hoping to make my parameter restricted to between 0400000000 and 0499999999. It doesn't work if I use integer, because it drops the leading zero. Does anyone have any tips on how I can achieve this? Ultimately this will be published to server and be a web form input field. I am hoping the user cannot press submit until the mobile number is in the range I mention above. Cheers
