Hi guys, I have DTM files in ASCII GRID format and I need to generate contours from this files. Everything works fine untill last step. When I am generating contours with contours generator transformer everything works fine, but I have in the area few lakes where I don't want to generate contours.  I've tried to use breaklines but when I am using it generally nothing change - contours still looks the same. I have layer with lakes where I don't want to generate contours. Before connect it to Breaklines arrow in ContourGenerator transformer I am using geometry coercer and 3DForcer. Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong? I have no idea how to manage with this. Screnshot below. Brown polygon is a lake. Thank in advance. 

A few years ago I created a FME-hub custom transformer InlineGeoJSON. It creates a GeoJSON file with FeatureCollections. The transformer works fine in fme 2020, but does not work in versions starting from FME 2021. This has something to do with the dynamic schema setup. The current error is:  GEOJSON writer: Unknown feature type 'GeoJSON' passed to the JSON writerInlineGeoJSON_FeatureMerger (ReferenceFactory): GEOJSON writer: Unknown feature type 'GeoJSON' passed to the JSON writer I tried many different solutions, for example:replacing the schemasetter with the new schemascannerchanging the schema definition namechanging the feature type nameI added my workspace with the current test workspace. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Hi!Im looking for a way to import StoryMaps API to FME PythonCreator/PythonCaller. I have tried to import and read the following script:"from arcgis.gis import GISfrom arcgis.gis import Itemfrom arcgis.apps.storymap.story import StoryMapfrom arcgis.apps.storymap import Themesfrom arcgis.apps.storymap.story_content import Image, TextStyles, Video, Audio, Embed, Map, Text, Button, Gallery, Swipe, Sidecar, Timeline" When I read this script in PythonCreator/PythonCaller I got a message "Translation FAILED". The first two worked perfectly, but not the other three. Any ideas how i can work around? Appreciate your help! 

Hi, I'm trying to get all the attributes of all spatial tables in an Oracle schema.For this I start with a SQLCreator. It runs a query that gets table names from user_objects. The SQL creator exposes TABLE_NAME. I connect the Result port to a FeaureReader. I set this up as follows:Feature Types to Read: TABLE_NAME.,Generic> Port Attributes to Expose: *When I run the workspace, I see the correct number of records coming out in the < Generic> port. However, not per attribute. In the log I see that a select is performed with all attributes. (Select schema_name.coloumn_a, schema_name.coloumn_b, schema_name.coloumn_c etc.).When I connect an attribute exploder to the generic port I see all attributes with content but then they are shown separately and no longer per record.Is it possible to dynamically retrieve all tables and then show all attributes of all these tables per record?   

Hi, what might be the impact of a closed TCP port 7078 on FME Server installation? Could it be that the only impact would be not being able to use the Topics Testing, as well as not being able to use the WebSocket protocol? Or am I missing something?  Regards, Helmoet.

Hello there is there a way we could generate random number grouped by feature type the actual transformer does not have this optionThanks

I would like to exit a workbench with my own user defined exit code. Is that possible and how can I achive this?

Is it possible to prevent FME Server from zipping the temp folders ? My server is zipping the whole temp folder instead of only the output of my FeatureWriter, making it impossible later on for HTTPCallers to access the file I need it to upload. This behaviour is problematic because I access files inside these .zip in later steps of the workspace and it raises errors because it is in a .zip file.

I have defined a new published parameter (pp) in an existing FME workspace, which exist as a scheduled workspace on FME Server. When published with the new pp to FME Server, I can see the new PP in the interface of the scheduled workspace on FME Server. However when I use the REST API to get to the scheduled workspace it doesn't recognize the new pp, only the old ones. Just when I open the scheduled workspace on FME Server and click OK, then the REST API can see the new pp. Isn't that a bug of some sort?

On 2018 build 18520. Attempting to read in an Esri GDB and get this error This GDB version appears to be working fine in ArcGIS. Is it an FME version issue ?  (I'm new to Esri technologies other than shapefiles. Be gentle...

Hello there,​I would like to check a dataset attributes. So I would like to write a workspace that can check the incoming dataset. ​For example, I expect to receive a dataset that has attribute name. My expectation dataset attribute name: A, B & CThe incoming dataset attribute name: B, C & D. In this case, I would like to call out attribute A and D. As attribute A is what I expected but missing and D is not the attribute name that I want. May I ask what transformer I should use in this case? Thank you very much. Zachary

Hi, im using neighbor finder in identifying duplicates based on XY. However, my data is stating that +/- of the value is considered as 'duplicate'. For example, stores selling 5 cars is the same with 6 or 9, but will be different if 10. So in this, I have 3 stores considered as duplicate based on their location. So I want to know the nearby data known as duplicate based on these parameters. Hope I make it clear. Is this possible in FME? Thanks in advance!

I have been trying to move Point data into the adjacent parcel which is connected to its line via ESRI's Geometric network is not working out. can someone help me get through this?

Hello Experts,I have 3 files A: Point FileB : Line file (Street)C : Line file (Street2)I have extracted Street names from the A point file and transferred them to the closest street B. But unfortunately, the street names have been populated to streets within provided distance. This has caused superfluous names to the streets. I need to populate the street name to the streets where the names are missing, but it also should not be available in the polyline file C. Basically i want to identify the superfluous names.Any help would be highly appreciated

Hello,I have a shapefile representing a neighborhood of a city. It contains 455 shapes with one shape per building. Each shape contains multipolygons corresponding to the building walls or little facade elements. Some buildings have common walls but their 3D points are not equal (typically 10 cm distance between them).I would like to group the neighboring buildings and extract their hulls. In other terms, I would like to only keep the multipolygons that constitute the contours of the building blocks.I am a beginner with FME and I have tried many transformes (geometry extractor, bufferer, dissolver, deaggregator, aggregator, hullreplacer) but I could not get what I want.If you have any advice, that would be great!Thank you!

hello i would like to RUN my workbench with a batch file, so i copied the first line of the log but when i try it, it just launch FME with the workbench but he doesn't run it. how could i do that ? thanks charles.

Hello,  I'm currently testing all the workspace I have after upgrading from 2020.2 to 2021.1.3. There is an issue I can't fix. I have a workspace that export data from postgresql base to an excel file. The file can be modified so I have a dynamic feature reader to get the model and a dynamic writer to write the data.In 2020.2 it works (I still have the version on my laptop, until all projects have the same version). With the same data and the same workspace, but using 2021.1.3 version of FME, my file is writen empty ....FME isn't failing but I have 95 warnings :  Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being recorded on all output ports.Logs_systeme_StatisticsCalculator (StatisticsCalculatorFactory): Attribute 'resultat' has no statistics requested. If statistics are expected for this attribute please ensure that they are selected in the Statistics to Calculate tableExcel Reader: Found named range '_xlnm__FilterDatabase' on she

This is definitely a "New to FME" question. I'm using FME Desktop, FME(R) 2021.2.3.0 (20220131 - Build 21812 - WIN64). When I select "Check for Updates..." an alert says that I new version of 2021 is available with a link. When I go to that web page, I see that 2022.0 is available. Is there is any reason I would not want to upgrade to 2022.0? When I upgrade to 2022.0, will some of my workspaces and transformers need to change? Thanks.

I have a series of user parameters that will display when I use preview but when I run the workspace the last one won't display. I can't see any options where a parameter wouldn't be visible when running the workspace. Is there a limit to the number of user parameters that can be set?

Hello, FME'ers,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly look at FME news. Today is May 4th, so it's Star Wars Day - and don't forget you earn a special badge for posting on the community today - or Cinco de Cuatro if you're a fan of Arrested Development (who isn't?) Either way, we're celebrating the release of FME 2022, which became available for download yesterday. FME 2022So FME 2022 is now officially released:  As always, you can find it on our website's downloads page, along with the full list of updates and changes in the ChangeLog file.  I'm sure there are lots of obvious changes, and you know about many of them already. But something I only noticed for the first time today is that the AttributeFilter now allows imports from Feature Caches:   It was something that helped me a great deal, and I hope you find it useful too. Something else new that I'm quite fond of...  The new Start Page with workspace preview image and the ability to &quo

I am updating a table in a database where I must insert, update or change value of one attribute of a record when it is deleted from source (ex: field ISDELETED is changed from N to Y when record is deleted). So in ChangeDetector I am connecting the destination table to "original" port, and new incoming data to revised port.The issue is that the attributes coming to "revised" don't have the same name like the ones from destination table, and I am using in my script a SchemaMapper tomap Source Fields to Destination fields (as the names can change and customer has access to the table used in SchemaMapper only).So because the attributes have different names, I don't think that the ChangeDetector will do it's job correctly. I attached a dummy script and dummy data to this issue.Can you give me some help here? Thanks.

I want to calculate the volume of ditches. It is do-able to determine the shore heights of these ditches, but it is not very precise. A better way would be to do a fill sink analysis. As far as I know FME has no way of doing this?

Is it possible to draw a 'centerline' for a polygon but on e.g. one third from the outer edge instead of half ways?
