Hi everyone,  I am creating a model to make it quicker to convert DWG files to SHP. They have the same format but there are several hundred files in various folders. The DWG files get updated from time to time, so the tool will be used often which is why I would like to set it so I only have to input the DWG file and the rest is automated.  For example:  C:\\CAD\\A\\1\\points.dwgC:\\CAD\\A\\2\\points.dwgC:\\CAD\\A\\3\\points.dwgC:\\CAD\\B\\1\\points.dwgC:\\CAD\\B\\2\\points.dwgEtc.... I need to write it to the GIS folders which are very similarC:\\GIS\\A\\1\\points.shpC:\\GIS\\A\\2\\points.shpC:\\GIS\\A\\3\\points.shpC:\\GIS\\B\\1\\points.shpC:\\GIS\\B\\2\\points.shpEtc.... I have used FilenamePartExtractor to get the filepath of the DWG and then used StringReplacer to replace "C:\\CAD\\A\\1\\" with "C:\\GIS\\A\\1\\". Is there a way I can use this value to specify the output location?  It has worked to specify a filename, but no luck with filepath so far.  Thanks in

I got this message when laoding data to a ArcGis Online Feature Layer: Python Exception <HTTPError>: 413 Client Error: Request Entity Too Large for urlThe workspace use FeatureWriter to load lines in to a AGOL Feature Layer. It has worked well for a long time, but suddenly it stops with this error. What does this error mean?

The account that is used to run FME Server models has access to a network drive (\\\\srv-be-di-xxxx\\fs-data\\). Files can be read from and output can be written to this network drive without issues, using the right paths as parameters to run the model. However, when I try to add this network drive as a new resource in the Resources tab of the FME Server UI, I get the notification: Error. The settings for this Resource Connection are invalid. Do you still want to savePath does not exist: \\\\srv-be-di-xxx\\fs-data\\ Why is FME Server able to use this network drive in the models, but not to actually add it as a new resource?

Is there a way to: make a reader case-insensitive?Change the case of the headers?Stop the workspace and generate an error if the wrong case is encountered in the file headers?

Hi everyone!I try using AttributeSplitter to split up a file path in all it's folder parts, but the returned list is empty. I have tried to split by '\\', '\\\\' and '/' but with the same result. How do I get this to work?I want the 6th folder in the path wich can contain 7 or more folders so it doesn't work with FilenamePartExtractor.I am using Windows. The filepath looks like this '\\\\server.local\\path\\to\\folder1\\folder2\\and\\so\\on\\file.mxd

I have a project in which I generate four shapefiles. In 1 of the shapefiles I add new attributes via transformers and fill them with a specific value. But even though I have neatly arranged the order of the attributes in my writer, this is not followed in the output in the shapefile. The added attributes are in other places than indicated in the writer itself. How can I ensure that the output is neatly arranged as I want it?

Hello ,  I would like to have fixed color of lines and write it into Esri shape file.i have used feature color setter or DGN styler but it does not work .when I read the shapefile again , I have found it has random color .Any help please FME 2021

Hi, I'm trying to use the attribute manager to replace all instances of double quote marks " with single quote marks ' for the values of the attribute 'testo' @ReplaceRegularExpression(@Value(testo),",') I can replace letters ok, but not quotes.

I'm seeing in my FME 2022.1.3 Esri Reprojector that my ArcPro 3.0.2 customtransformations installed at %appdata%\\ArcGISPro\\ArcToolbox\\CustomTransformations are not recognized. This wasn't the case in FME v2018/2020/2021. Is anyone else having the same issue? This happens even if I place the same transformation file in <FME_HOME>\\Reproject\\EsriPEGridData\\customTransformation.

Hello everyone,For example, I have the following pathname of the source datasetC:\\Temp\\FME Workbenches\\Kabelleidingen\\Klic\\Klicdata.dgn Then I would like to write the end result of the script to the followinglocation.C:\\Temp\\FME Workbenches\\Kabelleidingen\\Klic\\KlicData_analysisSo partly I want to write the data away to the root folder of the source dataset. Does anyone know how I can achieve that?The question is thus how I can get the value of the rootfolder that I subsequently can use in the writer.

Hello Group, I'm experimenting with WorkspaceRunner. I've noticed that when I run a workspace via WorkspaceRunner the workspace itself completes far faster than if I ran the workspace directly. For example I have one workspace that processes around 20 heavy datasets and usually takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. But via WorkspaceRunner it takes just seconds. Or am I just misunderstanding WoprkspaceRunner. Is it actually the case that WorkspaceRunner itself completes quickly but the actual workspace/s it has fired off continues independently and takes just as long as if running directly?  Thanks,Stuart

Is there a setting to suppress fme_rejection_code attribute creation with DateTimeConverter Transformer? Thank you, TylerFME Workbench 2022.1

It seems like this should allow for more itemized day selection, week selection, month selection. We want to setup multiple automations and it does not seem like I can do that, exactly.

I need to transform an Oracle geodatabase using st_geometry to postgresql using postgis. Ultimately it will be moved to the cloud (RDS on AWS). Is FME the correct tool for this sort of conversion? Would it be fast (roughly 15GB database(

Greetings, Do you have a best practice for adding a 'status' attribute populated with the value of the join status such as 'joined', 'unjoined_left', 'unjoined_right'? I can imagine using a 'create attribute' transformer outside of each join transformer port, but that seems heavy on transformers (four total). Let me know if you have a more efficient solution.  Thank you, TylerWorkbench 2022.1

The writer seems to be trying to write '00000000' for these features rather than leaving it as null Is there a way to stop this behaviour? In a standard workbench I could set a default value but it feels like I shouldn't need to do that as postgres can handle null values in date fields and I don't know how I could change the values as it's a dynamic schema. Errors in log:Value of attribute 'createdate' could not be converted to type 'date'. Feature will be logged and skipped Attribute(string: UTF-8)      : `CREATEDATE' has value `00000000' ---Schema definition for field:attribute{8}.fme_data_type fme_dateattribute{8}.name CREATEDATEattribute{8}.native_data_type dateThe next line is missing for features that do not have a value:CREATEDATE 20031118 

I will like to automate my weekly ftp download. Mapinfo reader example url (as zip with multiple mapinfo files): ftp:// ftp.data.com/Geodata_202103159999 .zip  'Geodata_' is always there, '20210315' is the data that changes (every monday when data is downloaded) '9999.zip' is always there  In my logik the easiest would be ftp://ftp.data.com/Geodata_*.zip But it doesnt work. 'Geodata_' must be there can be multiple zip files on the server.  Any suggestions on this problem?

Hi folks, I have some CAD files (dwg, dxf) that have custom line type information (so line types, the engineer defined by himself/herself. I know that the DWG format has some attributes to be exposed that indicated a "DASHED" line etc.I can read out lets say the linetype "FENCELINE" or any custom made linetype in an exposed attribute (I guess it is called "Autocad_resolved_linetype").  problem: While the complex linetypes are defined in the "acad.lin" files, the custom linetypes a user can create are just visible in AutoCAD. Is there a way to display those custom/complex linetypes to get this automated somehow?problem: I know the "LinePatterner" helps creating the simple line types. But how can I created a complex line pattern? Something with circles or characters in between?Many thanks if somebody can share his/her knowledge 😄  Best,Ferid

I stumbled across the following challenge in FME:how to deal with NULL values if you want to perform a calculation for a new attribute. For example, I want to sum up values (could be any other kind of arithmetics).The expected result is fine as long as no NULL Value is involved. FME turns any calculation into a NULL result if any NULL is involved (see documentation).   The question that haunts me is, how to treat those NULL values as 0 in the calculation without changing the value to an actual 0 (as the NullAttributeMapper would). The result I am looking for is the following: If all values are NULL i want the result to be NULL, otherwise I want the NULL value to be treated as 0. Furthermore, I dont want the NULL values to be changed to 0, so I can distinguish between NULL and 0 in further calculations.
