General

I am attempting to offset all lines that intersect each other by increments of 5. Some lines have duplicate/stacked lines on top of them, as well as standard intersections with other lines. My intent is to assign all lines that intersect a differing offset (which is where the increment of 5 comes into play). I have tried creating a list on the Spatial Relator, but I am not getting my desired results. I don't have any trouble with creating the offsets through the Offsetter or 3D Forcer transformers, but I am stumped on trying to assign all intersecting lines a different offset (so they won't intersect in Z space).  I would appreciate any help or ideas that can be passed along, thank you!

We have been working with a user of FME ESRI Edition to repoint the connections to a SQL server Always on listener in a multi subnet environment. The connection string has been configured with the Multi-Subnet Failover check box enabled (see attached) however the connection does not appear to resolve, to the multiple IP addresses registered, in parallel as I would expect for this parameter. As a result, connections are occasionally timing out.  Can you advise if there are any relevant known issues with the FME release currently being used (FME ESRI Edition, 2021.1.3.0 build 21631). Also are there any additional configuration changes required to ensure the multisubnet parameter is set correctly within the connection? Any assistance with the above would be greatly appreciated. 

How to highlight in the workbench canvas in FME desktop the route of a chosen entity? Through which transformers this entity has passed.

Hallo FME community,I have a network consisting of interconnected lines. on the other side I have some points lying on the line. I need to cut out my network based on these points and the line between two points must be aggregated with each other. Also, PointOnAreaOverlayer couldn't help me.I would be grateful if someone can help me how to do this process.  

What limits are there on backwards/forwards compatibility when using FME Objects .NET? I ask because I have a custom .NET application that was built using FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll (build 18567) that fails when used with FME Desktop 2022 (build 22337). This is the exception message: System.IO.FileLoadException: A procedure imported by 'FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll' could not be loaded. There were no issues on install (FME Data Inspector 2022 works as expected), and the Path environment variable appears to be set correctly. The custom .NET application worked properly with FME Desktop 2019.1.1 (build 19617).

Hi folks, I'm just wondering if there is any interoperability for SAP Business Objects Web Intelligence - the data is stored in 'universes' and I want to be able to access that data using FME. Many thanks, Aaron

Hi there,Not sure where to post this so putting it here.Can someone please keep up to date the "Known Issues" button on the support homepage (https://community.safe.com/s/support) so it links to an article for the latest version of FME, not 2020 (https://community.safe.com/s/article/workarounds-to-known-issues-in-fme-2020x) ? Thanks,Marc

How to download multiple zip files from linux server in local starting with same prefix name (e.g. ARESFF01.341,ARESFF01.342, etc) with sftp in fme?Can we use FTPCaller?If so, how? If we can do it other way also kindly suggest.

I would like to use the hosted (cloud) solution, but my database is behind VPC, so there is no direct access from FME to my DB.how can I save the data in the EWKT or EWKB format, so I could save it by myself to the DB , using a text file? (or a stream in websocket?) I tried using GML & GeoJson - but they both loose the geometry types and just save as multilineString

I'm trying to take a simple shapefile and transform it to citygml. I've found a couple solutions that suggest all I need is what it defined in my attached workspace but the output doesn't seem to honor my extruded geometry. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? And here is a picture of the workspace if that helps.

I have an old autocad drawing which contains static labels in the 'Banen_Detail-regnr' layer.I wish to convert this to dynamic labels with map annotation templates.In case an object's metadata value (from the Object Data) changes I wish to update this label automatically (CMD: _mapannrefresh / Stringsonly) I can find the attributes values in fme_attrib_info{}.field_name & _value but I cannot write this to a block nor can i link it to the object.

I have 2 kind of points that are connected graphically every 2 points with a line. I would like to know how FME can be used to link the attributes of points with associated ones. I am attaching an example for better understanding. 

Hello.I have a layer of lines and a table of observations on these lines.The line observation table contains the ID of the line on which the observation is made as well as its distance from the line origin. I would like to build a layer of points along the lines containing the information of the observations respecting the distance of the observations to the origin. Do you have any ideas? My research has only allowed me to create points in a regular way without being able to assign the attributes of the observations. I am a beginner in FME, thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello, I'm experiencing difficulty transforming a .las file to Mojang Minecraft format, as I receive an error stating that the Z coordinates exceed the allowed parameters (0-255). I've found no straightforward way to manually set the maximums and minimums before transforming. I've tried to scale the .las, but the feature is imprecise and results in distorted structures. ​Is there a way to set minimum and maximum coordinates prior to transforming?

Hello, Is there a way to 'fanout' when writing to an SQL Database? The image below shows a simplified example of what I want to achieve , I have a number of target SQL Server tables and their table names relate to the values in Col2 (I actually have dozens of target tables to write to). I'm guessing I could achieve this by writing to a format that is 'fanoutable' (e.g. Excel), then re-importing and then writing to SQL Server, but I wondered if any one knew of a more eloquent way of achieving this? Thanks, RB

Currently, all the values overlap each other, I only need whatever layer/value has the highest qpf at any given location. See the attached screenshot as an example. This one shows at the location I clicked on there are 6 layers overlapping that location (1 of 6).

I need to convert the polygonised raster and populate the raster value into the field category  features are inserted but not renderingbecause there are too manycan you merge features with similar categoryas in one multipolygon for each categorylook at this image it's like each pixel has been inserted separately as a recordthis is wrongadjoining features need to be merged as a single polygonthat way they will represent a single region yes, I should have no more than (1000 Guess) features  

Hello! I am trying to create a service area from polygons. I need to create an area that can be achieved during xx minutes with average speed xx km/hour. Is this possible with FME Workbench? (Or do I need to transform the polygon -type into point-type etc.)? I hope you understoor the question and am happy to inform some more.

Hi ! Keeping an eye one your website is not an easy option to be up to date on what is going on. I'm searching RSS feed for these items :Forums (one feed for all post + one feed per forum)Knowlege base (same as forum : one feed for all + one feed per topic)IdeasUser groups (one feed per group)BlogDo they exist ? Thank you

 FME Desktop Build 22304: Moving attribute fields up and down through the “attribute manager” is slow, I couldn’t figure out why moving attribute fields up and down is slow    Is this by design?

Hello,I made an FME script to automate modeling when importing new coordinates.I have two column plots "NUM_PARC" 409 and DP139 which fail to create the polyline correctly. Some points with the same numbering are taken from parcels outside the zone.I can't create a link with my area "MOVD_CAD_TPR_PRF_S"(NUMERO:2) and my final result.Can someone help me?Thanks 

On June 24th I downloaded the version for Desktop and Server 2022.0.0.1 Build 22339. I update my system with those products, and validate the functionality of the workspaces as well as the configuration of the server. It looks like everything is ready to be moved to production environment.I give notice to IT that the artifacts can be moved to production and they require FME Server 2022.0.0.1 Build 22339. Now I receive a notice from IT that the mentioned version does not appear in the downloads list of FME. Now I have to make a whole verification with a new version. 

HelloI'm looking to keep my geometry from my old state. (polygon with arc of circle or building with inner courtyard) I tried with the GeometryExtractor and GeometryReplacer transformers, but my new state changes by a few centimeters and I would like to adapt my geometry from the old state to my new coordinates.

Hello sir / madam, So I have two attribute "_zmax" and "ROOFLEVEL". So I want to test if "_zmax" value is within 5m of "ROOFLEVEL". If yes, then "Pass". If not, then "Fail".  So if "_zmax" is 10m, then acceptable value should be 5-15m.Might I ask how to do that?Should I use attribute manager transformer? Thank you in advance.  

Oracle has been supporting table and column names up to 1000 chars since 19c. ArcGIS desktop 10.7.1 and Pro 2.8, and later, also support long entity names for Oracle. But the latest FME 2022.0 Oracle SDE writer still limit user attributes in the Feature Type panel to be 30 chars. This puts quite a big limitation on our table design. Hope FME can accommodate long Oracle entity names soon.
