Hi guys......i have a workflow where i source .xls files out from 3 different folders  e.g. C:\\temp\\PA8\\Lists, C:\\temp\\PA9\\Lists, C:\\temp\\PA7\\Lists and split them (about an specified attribute) into many .xls files into another foldere.g C:\\temp\\PA8\\splits, C:\\temp\\PA9\\splits, C:\\temp\\PA9\\splits and additionaly i copy the source files with the filecopy writer into another foldere.g C:\\temp\\PA8\\done, C:\\temp\\PA9\\done, C:\\temp\\PA9\\done all that is working well!!! BUT i want to empty the source folder after this processing in the same workflow......is this possible.....i have tried the Custom transformer File Deleter but i didnt get it how it works....any solutions or workarounds? Cheers and GreetzFranco

Hi all,I'm encountering an issue while reading from a PostgreSQL DB and trying to write into a AGOL Feature Service. If I run using the FME Desktop 2021.2, the process run perfectly, reading and writing the Feature Service. When uploading the Workspace into FME Server (FME Server 2021.2.3 Build 21812 - linux-x64), and running it, the message is this one: ""2022-7-15 14:15:44 | ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Feature Service 'xxx_layer' does not support writer mode ''. Its owner may have disabled inserting or editing features. Writes may fail if the current user is not the owner or administrator""Although telling me the correct of the Features were written. From AGOL, I've checked that is ENABLED the edition on features. Also, the FME Server has correctly Authorized. Is there something that I'm not having into account?Thanks,  

I have DGN file. In Microstation I can see that it had a defined GCS (ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N) When I read the file with FME the coordinate system is not recognised. How do I get FME to read the GCS details?

Hi there, Thanks in advance for your help. It's my first time using FME server and setting up an app. I want the end user to be able to upload a folder full of shapefiles or gpx files. In Desktop, I have the parameters set up so the user can upload folders and the subfolders within it. I can't find this option in server. I see I can upload one file at a time, but that's not what I want. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to capture all this info in the folder structure:OperationName>Fieldworkername1>All the gpx and shapefilesOperationName>Fieldworkername2>All the gpx and shapefilesOperationName>Fieldworkername3>All the gpx and shapefiles 

Hi, I am creating contour lines and contour polygons from a raster geotiff file with 50m intervals. In lowland areas near the sea a lot of tiny lines/polygons are created wherever the elevation fluctuates around value 0-m. GDAL has a parameter (Offset from zero relative to which to interpret intervals) which allows setting an offset so as to reflect only significant low elevations (by setting it to -5 for instance). However this parameter is not present in the ContourGenerator transformer of FME.Can you think of a workaround for simulating such behavior? Otherwise is it easy to call the GDAL function from within FME?Thank you! Best regards, Olivier

I have a workbench that takes a zip file as a user input and checks if it contains a shapfile. If it does, it goes to a FeatureReader and then on to a shapefile writer.  I have tried every setting I can, but I can't get it to generate an output shapefile if the shapefile writer is set to use a Dynamic Schema Definition Am I missing something, or is this just not possible? The log says the workbench ran successfully, but no shapefile was created: > Translation was SUCCESSFUL with 9 warning(s) (353 feature(s) output)>FME Session Duration: 3.1 seconds. (CPU: 0.6s user, 0.8s system)>END - ProcessID: 940, peak process memory usage: 116280 kB, current process memory usage: 111672 kB>Translation was SUCCESSFUL Ultimately, I'd like to publish an enhanced version of this to FME Server and create an app so that colleagues can upload zipped shapefiles and have convert their data to different coordinate system. I'm running FME Desktop/Server 2021.2. Thanks, Dave 

Greetings,I have a Feature Reader transformer, reading a list of dwgs. Sometime after I initially created the Feature Reader I needed to expose additional attributes, and so did by adding to this list......however, the newly exposed attributes are not showing up in my output ports. I'm not seeing the Feature Reader in the 'Update Readers' command, so am not sure exactly how to get the newly exposed attributes exposed. Any pointers would be appreciated.TylerFME WorkBench 2021

What is the FME syntax required to assign a <null> value? Inputting <null> seems to return the string '<null>' and not a bonefide <null> (greyed out FME version). Some fields offer <null> in the drop down, but some do not and require the user to input, such as...Thank you.TylerFME WorkBench 2021.0

Hi, Why my clipper don´t cut the APP shapefile? Look the fmwt attached. Thank´s

I have polygons (closed polylines) that I want to buffer a fixed distance, removing any overlaps. Each Polygon has a unique ID and they need to remain individuals.Below and attached are starting polygonsAnd shown in red is what we want to achieve.I've tried an array of Buffer/AreaOnAreaOverlays/Dissolvers, but I cant quite get what's needed and keep ending up with holes and artifacts.Any ideas?I've attached the road strings i'm buffering towards, incase that is useful

i have lines and i have polygon my question that i would like to find which line intersects with polygon and which lines crosses with polygonso i have transformed polygon to lines by geometry coercer then i used spatial filter ,predicate crosses and another time i used spatial filter with predicate intersect but i have found that the output in passed port even if i have chosen predicate cross or intersect ,i get this line in output why did this line appear when i choose predicate intersect ,because no intersection point between line and polygon . i would like to have it only when i use predicate cross .i hope someone has idea for me   FME 2020

Hey! I have a a road network that is split into several features. They represent different values of the road. Example: 1 layer describe surface and another width. So the length of each line in the layers differ from eachother. I would like to merge these together and i wonder if anyone have a solution?  So far I've tried to Take the endpoints from all the lines. Bunched them together and then used them in one PointonLineOverlayer for each Line Feature to split all Lines at the same spot. Now I'm unsure on how to join all the features to 1 Line features with all the attributes i want.  Example Picture:  

On my fme server is a workspace for download which I can start with a webhook. I want to use that webhook in a Python Script. Are there any examples for calling the webhook and receiving the data in python? Best regards Gerhard

Hello everyone! I'm new FME-User and this is my second month of learning FME. I've been fooling around mainly with maps (TIFF,JP2000) and Lidar. I'd like to build a 3D-Model from a part of a forest where I add tree.obj for each tree in a raster. I'm trying to build a tree detector that makes a shapefile of the border of the trees and maybe make a list of the trees in the forest. So far I've tried this, this is probably really painful to watch :D.TestFilter that detects brightest parts of the forest(tree tops), then second brightest spots and third brightest etc..Then I start clipping with buffered detected spots from dark part to the brightest parts and in the end of the clippin' I have really messy tree tops marked on raster..And this doesn't really solve the original problem at all of making a shapefile for an each tree of the forest :D So I figured that better approach might be something like this.Spot the brightest tree tops --> Mark the tree top --&g

Hi. I would like to ask. I have three parts under one ID ( UUID_departure ) where each part has a different ID ( UUID_departureLeg ) and each of these three parts has different values. I need to combine under one UUID_departure these 3 parts of UUID_departureLeg with the data of each individual part. It doesn't work properly for me when using FeatureMerger, when using Aggregator it only writes the first value to me. Could someone help me with this? Thanks a lot

Basically, I have a workbench that produces a CSV that I want to use in other workbenches and get a result. But There doesn't seem to be a trigger that works for me in this idea. Here is how the automation would look: How can I trigger an automation from the result of the first workbench?How can I transfer the resulting dataset into the automation after the trigger? Thank you,Kevin

I have a flow as pictured below. I have only three collumns in my StatisticsCalculator. I have year, month, amount. What I want is to create a sum(amount) per year, month. When I run this flow it generates way to mcuh data. I was expecting 12 rows pre year but there is way more and the data is duplicate, giving 28 rows per month. What am I doing wrong?

Hi all,I'm looking for a specific FME version: FME(R) 2019.2.3.1 (20200212 - Build 19823 - WIN64) I'm not able to find it in the past versions section: https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions Is it still available somewhere?Thanks 

Our team are trying to create a workbench which will be used to answer user data requests. The workbench should provide a packaged export from our Oracle database, including a schema definition, metadata and various file type(s).  I'm trying to make this as simple as possible by using parameters for the user to input, including table name and spit out folder at the end however I'm stuck when trying to create a parameter for the table name we want to download using the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) Reader.  I've actually managed to work around this for the metadata by setting a default table, using the merge feature type option and using a wildcard, then setting a parameter from that. However when I try this with features although I get the geometry I get an empty attribute table.  Anyone have any experience of this or potential better solutions?

Forgive me for what is likely a very simple answer to this question, but I'm still rather new to FME. I'm wanting to use a defined User Parameter (Type - Text) which will then inform my AttributeFilter transformer (where the user parameter directly corresponds to a specific field of the dataset being read by the AttributeFilter transformer). However, when I set the transformer parameters as per the screenshot below, I don't then get the expected output, i.e. the dataset filtered for that specific value. Is there something I'm missing? Thankyou for taking the time to read this post. 

Hi everyone, I am trying to get the value of the first table (that only has one row with info about xmin, xmax, ymin etc.) into the 2nd table. The second table has more rows and my wish is to have all the rows in table to get the same value for e.g. xmin from the first table. However in the 2nd table only the first row gets the value of the first table, while I want to have all the rows the same value for that column. Does anyone how that might be achieved? In case my question is not clear, just let me know.

Hi!I would like to export my datas (only attributes) on a jpeg file.I would like to create a sort of table like on excel, with blacks border and dimentionnate the columns in order to not truncate the datas. And then export an jpeg file.I used ExcelStyler and an JPEG writer, but it failed because it's not an raster format. So I tried with ImageRasterizer but I don't succeed. I'm not use to manipulate raster format. So could you give me advices to suceed?Thanks !
