Hi All, I'm trying to write Bag-ids (adress ids of the Netherlands) to an Excel or CSV file. However I'm unable to write it to these formats without destroying the data.  Source data example Bag_id _ 0735200000017598 1735200000017598  If I write it to CSV i'm losing the prefix 0 (while using varchar type).If I write it to Excel the numbers without the prefix 0 are rounded (while using the string type) See appendices. The only fix i'm able to come up with is prefixing everything with " ' ". But that of course transforms the source data. This I don't want. Does anyone have a solution for this? I have added my test sample in the appendix aswell (e.g. source_data_v3)

Hello, I am trying to build a process where files are being generated on a Windows Server. I am wanting to takes these files convert them from .doc to .pdf then upload them to a SharePoint location then delete the files from their original location on the Windows server. I believe I can see to the the format conversion and SharePoint upload but am really struggling to figure out how to connect to the Windows Server which requires different permissions from my normal user account to read the files in the specific folder. What Reader/Connector should I use to be able to connect to the Windows Server to gain access to the files? Thanks

Hi everyone,I have a script with a reader that connects to an ArcGIS Enterprise database through a connection file.  My question is: Is the connection file information embedded in the script itself, so if I move the script to another location, that do not necessarily have access to the connection file, will it still work? Or is there a way to make sure that my script works whether it has access to the connection file or not? Thanks 🙂

FME 2022 Build22153: Calculating the value of an attribute fails, In the screenshot below, I wanted to calculate the “BuildingPercent” attribute field by dividing “BuildingArea” field on “BoundaryArea” field but appears not to work.

Hi all,  I am trying to remove some keywords based on the value of another column.   What I am hoping to achieve: Removing Oxley & Victoria in Column A Can anyone please provide some assistance.  Thanks

Hi, Can anyone recommend a workflow to have measures generated across line multiparts with measure formed based on the order that the multiparts are stacked in the geometry. The measuregenerator is rejecting multipart line geometry items. I have valid multpart lines (roads with gaps) for which i need to run a measure across the gap (but not including the gap in the measure). If not possible using current FME transformers, could i please submit this as a feature request to enable multipart measuregenerator. With thanks.

Hi, Are GDAL raster processing tools available in QGIS also accessible from FME Desktop on the same machine? If yes, does someone have an example script of how to call and run such a tool from the GDAL library. In QGIS I would for instance use the tool itself with the following command line for generating contour polygons:gdal_contour -b 1 -p -amin minimum -amax maximum -i 50.0 -snodata -999999994.0 -f "ESRI Shapefile" <input path> <output path>How would the code need to look like for example in a PythonCaller on a typical Windows machine with both FMEDesktop and QGIS installed on it? Thank you! Best regards, Olivier

A Program I use can't export a GDB but can export a folder with shapefiles. The problem is the names of the attributes are truncated for shapefiles upon Export. I would like to Set a feature reader to pull all .shp from a folder I set as a parameter. Then I would like to batch rename attributes of the features. But different feature classes have different attributes that may or may not be truncated. When I export my GBD I need to set up the new schema somehow. Any Ideas?  

I have a dateset of polygons which I know includes some anomalies such as self-intersecting and spikes. I'd like to identify these and if possible count the number of instances of each type in a report. I have tried following the FME guide on self-intersecting polygons but it does not seem to be working as I expected on my dataset. I'm not sure if its my setting in the GeometryValidator transformer or my base data that is at fault. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I'll include some images of the types of issues I'd like to identify along with the workbench I created and some sample data:

hello, i'm interested to know the usual process in reading/getting files from FTP caller.I did make FTP caller run, however, I don't know the next transformers to use to read the csv (not in a zip file) from the FTP server.

FME Desktop v2021.1.1.0postgresql v11.13 We have an expiration date col that we default to a hard coded high value on INSERT using a trigger and function. The value of that timestamptz col is:9999-12-31 23:59:59.000 -0600 SQLCreator or SQLExecuter will not allow the selection or reference of that column. However, I can select or reference the col in DBeaver without issues. This statement produces this error in FME:select exp_ts from test_table;POSTGIS reader: An error occurred. FME will attempt to obtain more information on the error, but this may cause the translation to be terminatedPOSTGIS reader: An error occurred. Here is the information that FME was able to find on the errorPOSTGIS reader: stk::ex::bad_expected_access Workaround was to change the col to timestamp.Any ideas?
