Unlocking insights from raster imagery with FME

Blogger Tiana Warner just posted a new article to the FME Blog.Title: Unlocking insights from raster imagery with FMESummary: Learn how to process geospatial imagery and unlock actionable insights.Introduction: Geospatial imagery—captured by satellites, planes, drones, or other technology—holds a wealth of useful insights for professionals across industries. However, extracting insights can be challenging due to enormous data volumes and the complexity of gathering information from raw pixels. Plus, imagery comes in various formats, from standard JPEGs to specialized GeoTIFFs and proprietary file types, each containing bands, palettes, and metadata. So where do you start?Would you like to know more? Click here to read this new article!

issue with component "Trigger". Publisher dirwatch does not exist

I am trying to create an automation using a trigger that watches a directory. If a file in the directory is added/created it launches an FME Workspace. However I keep getting the following error:2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410109 : (Automations) Creating link from trigger...3 2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410108 : (Automations) Creating dirwatch trigger...4 2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410112 : (Automations) Unable to assemble automation. There was an issue with component "Trigger". Publisher dirwatch does not exist.The same thing happens when I try add a trigger that watches an FTP? and I get the same error when trying to add a Publication under the Notification.What am I missing? Do I need to add something special for a trigger to work? is it possible that I am missing some part of FME?I am working with a FME FLOW 2024.1that is in a Azure Kubernetes cluster.Any help or hint that could explain the error is highly appreciated.

python caller save problem

Sometimes and non-reproducible changes I have done in source code are not saved.Mostly it works but in estimated 5% my changes are lost.If I change text I always type ctrl-s, mostly two or three times. If the changes are big I type spaces and save again. I reenter the source code and look for my changes.BUT whatever I do, sometimes FME "forgets" my changes, today it forgot it, even when I ran the translation (in the control before my changes were made).Has anybody else such problems? Is there a "correct" way to save the sources or a workaround for it?I actually use the version 2016.0 (in former versions the problem was the same)Hope, anybody can help

How to get LOC_ERROR field added in FME output, like similar to "Make Route Event Layer" - 'add_error_field' in ArcGIS

The scenario is as follows: We are able to get the dynamic segmentation done using Feature Merger & Snipper transformers based on event table and routes, but we also want to capture "LocationError" field values like similar to "Make Route Event Layer tool in ArcGIS" Any thoughts are suggestions like how do we achieve it in FME?

Add the possibility to use attributes in the DWG writer for Layer paramatersOpen

In the Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF-writer (and in the other DWG writers too) it would be good if you could choose an attribute for Layer Description, Default Linetype, Default Color and the states: On, Frozen, Hidden, Locked, Plottable. It's not so usable right now when you need to hard code these values which makes all layers look the same.

INSPIRE GML writer - importing wrong XSD

Hi,I have a workspace transforming data to write it in INSPIRE GML format (theme Hydrography). Earlier this year, some of the INSPIRE application schemas (XSDs) where upgraded to a new version Include changes from 2024.1 schema release · Issue #1027 · INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator, including the hy-p one that I’m using here (v4.0 to v5.0).Therefore I changed my INSPIRE GML writer to point to the new XSD URI and adapted the xsi:schemaLocation parameter consequently. However, when indicating the v5.0 the output GML is not written correctly: there are remnants of the v4.0 in it.First in the imports, see xmlns:hy-p4 and xmlns:hy4:<gml:FeatureCollection xmlns:omor="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/omor/3.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:sr="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/sr/4.0" xmlns:base="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/base/4.0" xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts" xmlns:hy-n="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/hy-n/4.0" xmlns:omop="

Reading API and extracting geometry

Hi, I am retrieving data through an API using an HTTP caller. The data consists of points and lines. My plan is to pull this data, perform some attribute mapping, and then POST it to a website. However, I'm having trouble extracting geometry after flattening the JSON data. I used a Geometry Replacer, but it fails every time I run it. The error message says:INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCEI would appreciate any assistance with this!

Set FilePath for FME_SHAREDRESOURCES_TEMP

Morning all,I’m trying to create a workspace that works both on FME Flow & Form. I’m using the FME_JOB_ID to determine what the workflow is running on.If its FME Form I’m setting the filepath to a shared drive. For Flow I’m trying to set it to the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP folder to produce a data download.If I hard code the parameter in the writer to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)@Value(_FILEPATH) its fine, but I can’t do this as the file will not then post to a shared drive.If I try and set the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP in the workspace to push that to my parameter and add it to the created filepath FME no longer produces the downloaded zip file.I’m setting the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP to the url defined on Flow - which in this case is something likehttps://-myserverlocation-/fmeserver/resources/browse?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP&name=TempIs this correct, or should I be using a shorter, relative path? EDIT: Sorry just figured out I don’t need to set this at all! FME Flow just does it

Is there a way of working with GraphQL APIs using the HTTPCaller transformation?

I am in the process of working on an integration between Cityworks and ArcGIS Urban. While I am well-versed in using the HTTPCaller transformer for REST APIs in FME Desktop, after s few hours of working with an HTTPCaller, the only way I was able to make a GraphQL API call was using a PythonCaller with some custom code using the requests library. For now, the PythonCaller route will work well enough, but I would rather lean on the HTTPCaller for when others have to take over this integration who are not Pythonistas.

Day 12 Recap (Very Brief)

FME friends and balloon fanatics!It is getting very exciting now, with under 72 hours of the contest remaining. So here’s a very brief post about the latest news…PointsThe top of the leaderboard is switching about on a regular basis now. Cloudchaser (296 pts) is currently top, heading eastwards over Canada with very little in their way (countries or airports). CommunityCats (294) had dropped down the order until… they arrived in North America. That’s 10 points for the continent and 5 points for the USA… sadly reduced by passing straight over an airport. But they are now 2nd.SaskUAV (284) in 3rd also reached America, but is issuing commands obviously designed to avoid airports, and seems in a good position. If they reach the Canadian border without an airport hit… who knows?SafeSwanAbout just issued a command that took them straight into the path of at least 2 airports (Bellingham and Abbotsford). It’s not to pick up airports, in fact, if you know where those airports are, it will give

SchemaMapper help needed: data not written to new attribute field

I’m trying to write data from one ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer to another using schema mapper for field mapping. I’m finding that the features from featureclass1 are being appended to featureclass2, but there isn’t any data written into the attribute fields for these appended features. Am I missing a setting in schema mapper?This is the result of my workspace (featureclass2). Features 4-7 were appended from featureclass1 to featureclass2, but the data didn’t come through.This is featureclass1, you can see there is data for those features.I’m using a csv file for my schema mapping. The schema mapper is mapping one → newfour and two → five. I’ve tried this keeping the source attribute and removing it with the same result.Thank you!

ArcSDEQuerier - database client sofware failed to load

I authored some scripts years ago that use the ArcSDEQuerier transformer to query for records in a versioned 10.1 ArcSDE Geodatabase. The machine that FME resides on has FME 2019.3.1, both ArcGIS 10.1 and ArcSDE 10.1, and both Oracle 32-bit (ArcGIS) and 64-bit (ArcSDE) clients installed. The scripts have worked for years without issue. Recently, I’ve had to modify them a bit and on a development FME machine, the ArcSDEQuerier transformer works fine, but promoting them to another same-build FME machine has had some odd results. If I use the exact scripts/workspaces from the dev machine, the ArcSDEQuerier throws the error seen below. Or if I open scripts that were already on this machine, untouched, the ArcSDEQuerier also throws the same error: However sometimes, and I stress sometimes, if I open a brand new workspace and add a single ArcSDEQuerier, I can connect to the same DB using the same credentials without issue: I know the obvious answer is that something has changed with ArcSDE,

Passing published parameter into Schemamapper within a custom transformer

Hi Everyone, I tried to make use of the schemamapper transformer to create a new output excel spreadsheet which takes a customised schema csv file as an input. The problem is that the schema file sits within a random folder (date time stamp temp folder name - e.g. 20190903100000) each time the workbench run. (PS: the randomised folder is created at the beginning of the workflow and being passed through as an attribute value).Due to the randomised temp folder name which i tried to pass into the schemamapper as the dataset, I am not able to pass it through. I then tried to create a custom transformer where i can pass the temp folder name via attribute value > published parameter for the custom transformer. The new problem I have now is that the custom transformer does not appear to be able to pick up the attribute value (which has become a published parameter) in the dataset field within the schemamapper.It always throws an error shows "ERROR |CSV reader: Failed to open file &#39

create non-intersecting polygons from multiple points based on attribute value sum

Hi,I have a file of points which correspond to buildings. Each point or building has a number of apartments (total 9000). from this layer, I would like to create zones for every 500 apartments, without intersection. I tried the neighbor finder with sorter assending on the distance then range mapper attributes but the result is not good because I should not have any intersection between the polygons. Help please :) Thanks a lot
