Euclidean distance

Hi, I would like to know if there is any processing in FME as "Euclidean Distance" tool in ArcGIS. Thank you. Clara.

When I try to convert DGN to SHP I get this error.“DESIGN READER: Found duplicate tag name 'numero' on element. Renaming tag to 'numero04' to avoid conflicts”Do you have any suggestions to skip this duplicate tag name please or the way to change the tag name because I did not find where these duplicates.

Can't connect to API.

I am having a problem getting a HTTPCALLER do a GET from a custom API. I can successfully connect to the same API url in a web browser but get the error below from the HTTPCALLER. I am using the HTTPCALLER with similar APIs without issue. The url for this API is a little different than previous urls I have used so maybe that is an issue?Previous urls were like https://.../name/2A159Problem url is like https://.../name/2A159/Family?rtuFamily=C where the GET has to match both 2A159 and rtuFamily=C HTTPCaller_4 (HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'SSL connect error'HTTPCaller_4 (HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set upHTTPCaller_4 (HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been entered

How to preserve original geometry after Bufferer

Hi,I have some polylines that I buffered with Bufferer in order to make some checks.Once the checks are performed, I'd like to get the original polylines back. I was wondering if I can copy the lines geometry into another geometry attribute and read them after, or maybe some other technique. Thanks in advance!

Anchored Snapper - Use only the vertices of the anchor.

I am trying to utilize the Anchored Snapper to snap the edge of a zoning area to the underlying parcel boundaries. The tool visually works great; however, it is utilizing the vertices of both features resulting in overlaps and slivers that are later detected in our workflow. Is there a means to have the Anchored Snapper only utilize the vertexes of the anchor? Is there a better tool option that will not change the parcel feature?

Write many excel files using a counter value in the file name without including the counter as an attribute in the output

Hello! I have a workbench in FME Desktop 2021.2 where I need to write out several XLSX files from the same dataset, with exactly 1500 rows in each, and each one named FileName_1.xlsx, FileName_2.xlsx, FileName_3.xlsx, etc. I have managed to do this using a Counter, and ExpressionEvaluator. The ExpressionEvaluator takes the attribute from Counter (_count) and creates a new attribute called "_result" using this expression: @floor(@Value(_count)/1500) + 1 So that gives me the sequential file numbers that I want to append to the file names based on 1500 rows in each one. I can do this if I include the "result" attribute in the Excel writer, and use a FanOut Expression like this: FileName_@Value(result).xlsx This produces the Excel files with the correct file names, with 1500 rows per file. However, my question is, how can I exclude this "result" attribute in the Excel files? I don't want that attribute being written out. If I remove it, there is then no

Detecting Gaps and slivers between polygons of 2 different shapes

I have polygons of two different shape files and would like to have a possibility that FME shows me (either with an attribute or with a flag or geometry) where there are gaps oder overlaps between both...the poylgons should have the same geometry but they haven't the same area.....the second shape is only a part of the first.i have tried some overlayers, intersectors or other transformer but none of them gives me that i want...i think its a combination of some transformers.i don't want to repair the polygons only find these errors!Any helps?Thx Franco

How can I edit a AttributeSplitter feature list to have custom layers names

asked in General

I would love to be able to use an excel sheet with a list of feature names to then look through our SDE database to then identify those same features to run the rest of my workflow. Is this possible?

Right now, I have it set up so that I have a Reader set to read our entire SDE database (set as single merged feature), which takes a really long time to go through, and then from that, a FeatureTypeExctractor to get the feature name. I also have Reader for an excel spreadsheet with all of the feature names that I want the rest of the script to process. I've I've used a FeatureMerger to join the output of the FeatureTypeExtractor (from SDE) and the Excel spreadsheet and to keep only those feature names that are the same (join). That output then goes through the rest of my script. Is there a better way? The downside of the way I have it set up is it will take a really long time to go through our entire SDE. We will likely add a few new feature classes to our SDE each year and I would love to just update a spreadsheet with those new feature names and hit RUN. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Can we add a Custom User Parameter that allows for selection from a list populated via an API?

By way of an example, the Google Sheet reader parameters allow for the Specific sheet to be referenced after a lookup of the Workbook's URL given an authenticated web connection. I'd like to populate a similar list based on an authenticated web connection, also following an API call based on another parameter field – and if that is possible to cascade multiples of these. This doesn't appear to be available in the Manage User Parameters dialog set.

I have a workspace that reads in an xlsx file and then writes an xlsx file. It works fine when I run it in FME Desktop, but when I run it on FME Server, I am getting a permissions error. The correct path is mapped as a linked resource in FME Server.

The file is not in use elsewhere, and is not password protected. Which user is supposed to be set up with write permissions to the file from FME Server? FME Server Error message: "Excel Writer: Failed to save changes to the spreadsheet '\\\\data01\\pathname\\TermUtility\\LOCID_Output.xlsx'. Check that you have write permission to the file, it has no password protection and is not opened by another application. Error message is 'Permission denied.'"

Error with no excuse that makes sense

So I have a job that usually runs on my server but trying to troubleshoot it locally is giving a error that makes no sense as all the scenarios are invalid. The Login is validated in ArcCatalog 10.8.1, There is no ArcGIS Pro elements mentioned as this is a basic Geodatabase, and the log-file only shows these 4 lines.Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216118'.

If this is the case, please install ArcGIS Pro or Pro-compatible ArcGIS Server and 64-bit FMEA fatal error has occurred.

Web Connections - Salesforce When you use a Custom Domain for Salesforce in FME, how do you check that FME adds the appropriate suffix?

When I add a custom domain for Salesforce in FME, FME is not adding or permitting the ?locale=au suffix. The formatted string should be https://p-2576944.my.salesforce.com/?locale=au but FME looks like it is using https://p-2576944.my.salesforce.com.

Embedding HTML content in Workspace App

In the past I asked this question. Things have developed and now I want to use a HTML table, which is the outcome of a FME workbench, in a workspace app. Something like this: Within my HTML table I included sorting and search functionality. These were included in the FME app before. You entered a search string as a User Parameter - Hit Enter - Browser with found HTML content was shown. To improve my app I removed the FME search function and put everything directly in the HTML table. Is this possible in a workspace app?
