Hi list.I have a dataset with mixed date/time formats in a single field.I want to create a cascade to transform these, i.e. "Try this format", and if it fails, "Try that format", etc.HOWEVER, when data are output on DateTimeConverter's rejected port (signalling a data error), the field value is cleared, rendering a cascaded approach impossible. Why is that ??Is there a way to avoid this unwarranted nulling of a possible valid field value ?Cheers.

Hello!I have a challenging work to do. I have 3 differents vectors data (DataVector1, DataVector2 and DataVector3 ) which i've extracted from a pdf file. And, I have also from the same pdf file, the location of the three Datavectors (boundaries). The boundaries is also a vector data that i've extracted from the pdf. However, the boundaries boxes are smaller compared to the limit boundaries of the Datavectors. Now, I need to scale and shift all my 3 Datavectors into the boundaries boxes. How can i do this ? knowing that the coordinates are in local values ( fake coordinates from PDF). After that, I'll do a manual georeferencing, since I know real coordinates of 3 points over the whole 3 Datavectors.Anybody, have some hints ? Thank you in advance !

Hi,I'm using the TopologyBuilder to create relationships between water mains (the edges) and the valve furniture (the nodes). Our corporate GIS (Gwater, Oracle based) has an start and end node for each feature to show connectivity, but ARCGIS does not . These values do not exist and I have to create them to align the two GIS systems.So far the results have been good, as the corporate GIS feature can only connect to two other features. This doesn't happen in ArcGIS for one particular type of feature called a cross valve, which connects 4 mains pipes.I can find the 4 pipes a cross connects to, but not the direction in which they connect to create the east-west and south-north connectivity. There's nothing in the topologybuilder output which suggests this relationship:  I was wondering if I can use the spatial location of the pipes that the cross connects to to determine which one is easterly of the cross, westerly and so on:Any idea how this might be achieved? I can then use

Hello FME'ers,A slightly late What's Up Wednesday because of the webinar I was in yesterday. But it's still packed full of fun and useful content... FME Community WebinarOur FME Community webinar was yesterday. If you're interested, you can find the recording on our website or on YouTube. We also have a blog about it too.  We showed how to use FME to crowdsource data for an ArcGIS Online map (even if it did get a bit slow at times), and we played a City Guesser game that was pretty cool. Dale and I managed to describe and demonstrate the FeatureTypeFilter transformer (picked at random by a marble race) and the FME Scavenger Hunt was launched. Oh, and everyone got a free lunch on us. And afterwards... well, these are the bits that got cut out of the official recording! Enjoy. FME Scavenger HuntThe FME scavenger hunt is up and running.   So far we have 37 players, making up 9 teams, including our first company team, "Team Abley" from New Zealand. There are currently 5 missions to complet

Im a very beginner with FME. I've a polygon (gpkg) file, which has several attr. columns. 3 of these column contents should be under one column. I prob. need to create new column where to put contents of these 3 separate columns, right? How? Thanks!

Hi everybody, I have a seemingly trivial problem that I can't solve: I would like the name of a file inside the zipfile produced by FME Server data download service to be the same as the one produced by FME Desktop (maybe statically defined or by some parameters/attribute values) instead of a random meaningless name. Any advice? Thanks

Working on a little data quality initiative and would like to use Geospatial PDF writer. So I'm reading some SQL spatial data, then filtering, grabbing a centroid, building a bounding box, using that for the 'Map Extents' parameter in the Geospatial PDF writer after adding some labels. With fanout, I can write a bunch of PDF files that show my feature/label pair.  Is there not a way to append all these pages to the same PDF instead? The section "Adobe Geospatial PDF Multi-Page Support" sure sounds like this should work but I can't figure out how. 😉  Only way I can see is use FeatureWriter and followup with a Python Caller to do this part.Any suggestions appreciated.

I want to be able to present the user with a single input option that will accept either a shapefile or an FGDB feature class. It doesn't seem possible to me because: the generic reader doesn't seem to allow you select an FGDBI can't have a shapefile reader and an FGDB reader in my workspace, but only use one Am I really going to have to create 2 workspace apps, one that processes shapefiles and one that processes FGDB feature classes? FME Desktop 2021.2 and FME Server 2021.2.

Will FME work on a file-system-based control such as Visual Source Safe (VSS)?

Hello everyone, I have a drawing in the picture. There are many polygons drawn on top of each other in this drawing. In some of the polygons I have extra drawings. Place 1 is correct, place 2 is correct, but place 3 is wrong. In a layer with grouped holes, I have a drawing on the bottom with the same shape, but some of the holes are hollow. How can I detect empty spaces? ( see ex. 3) 

When running a Data Inspector to read a mvt tile ，I got Error message like this "No geometry mapping entry found for 'wkb_geometry_collection' in metafile 'C:\\Program Files\\FME\\metafile\\MVT.fmf'. Please visit http://www.safe.com/supportNo geometry mapping entry found for '%0' in metafile '%1'. Please visit http://www.safe.com/supportFailed to specify the feature index as constraints on the reader"I tried to use QGIS ,it works fine.  

I have a scenario where I have a CSV reader which reads in values of specific types. On occasion there is unexpected data in the input that does not match the type (such as a negative number where a UInt32 is expected, or character data where numeric is expected). The CSV reader generates a warning message and substitutes the offending value for missing or null, but I would prefer if it generated an error so I could terminate translation and look at the data myself to see if it is either bad data (which I need to fix) or if my input types are incorrect and need to be expanded. Reviewing the logs every time is possible of course, but sometimes the processes are automated, and sometimes I need the workspace to terminate on error before it gets to the point where it writes the final data. In these cases using the logs to check warnings isn't great. I can set the CSV reader to read in only string data, but I still want the type checking as a first data validation step. Ideally I would

Hello Experts,I have two polyline files. Both have name attribute . The condition of validity is if the line name is in continuity then its valid, if not then its invalid.

I am running into something I have not ran into before: I have an XML_fragement attribute with a WKT. For example (direct copy): POINT (154791.869730325 463171.926750512) When I use the geometry replacer, set to WKT, I get a rejected feature: INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCE When I use an attribute creator, than manually paste the value (POINT (154791.869730325 463171.926750512)) and connect the geometry replacer to the new attribute it works flawlessly. Also when I try the featuremerger and merge on 'new atribute' and 'xml_fragement', nothing merges/matches. Why? They are exactly the same values (ctrl c + ctrl v), there is also no space or enter at the end of the value. FME Desktop 2022.1

I want to update an ifc file with attributes. For a reason I don't know, the element to be linked is not displayed in the ifc reader. That's why I created an extra Ifc Reader with Dataviews and linked the missing attributes via the Elementid. Then I linked the attributes of the Excel list with the added attributes. The output on the second FeatureMerger is correct. Only the ifc is not written correctly. What could be the reason?

I have very limited experience in configuring FME Server, so this may be a softball question. I have workspace that generates a set of shapefiles, and outputs those to a directory specified in a published parameter. However, when uploading this workspace to Server, the output is only available as a download. Can FME Server be configured to output the results to the published parameter directory? In the case of this workbench, it would be a local directory.

Hi Experts,  I'm tearing my hair out ... 🙂I have a line (with approx 500 vertexes), the length between each of them is never the same....

Hi,I am using FeatureReader to read JSON files, and converting to GDB, when I select multiple JSON files in Desktop it is working fine without any problem, but when publish into FME server it is not working (when select single JSON it is working fine) when select more than one JSON files.Before I used JSON reader but due to some issues (not auto updating schema (attributes) until we manual update reader ) now not using.Requesting you to help what exactly the reason for this error?
