I got a feature reader that reads in excel data. If data exists i create points from that data. If data doesn't exist i need to create a point myself based on center of a polygon with "centerpointreplacer" transformer. How can I chose flow based on that scenario? If I can create points from excel then I dont want the centerpointreplacer to run.

Hi,I don't have a specific problem that I'm trying to resolve, I'm just looking for opinions/discussion on alternatives. More of a "poll" on what types of solutions people might be currently using...The SchemaMapper transformer can be very handy but it definitely has it's limitations and it feels like it's getting a bit long in the tooth. I don't think there have been any significant changes made to it in several years, so I was wondering if people are still using it, or what design patterns might be used as an alternative?Some of the limitations of the existing SchemaMapper transformer that I'm aware of are:No ability to parameterize input parameters, esp. the schema mapping fileNo way to perform complex "and/or" conditional mappingNo way to use conditional operators other than "=" in mapping rules (e.g. <,>,!=, in, like, etc.)No way to map if null/empty/missingAside from manually performing these mappings in the workspac

Hi. I want to write my file which consists of some IFME Faces to Ground, Roof and wall surfaces. But the results after Writers are IFME null. How can I fix this Problem? I need some faces at the end

I tried to find out any example or details about pass criteria shown in "Pass against All base" in Spatial filter but no luck. Can anyone explain how its work ? If example Base is Parcel shape file and candidate is building centroid.  Any help here ? 

Hello,I am trying to merge features where it has a closed polyline and it's derived center point (using CenterpointReplacer) where they are separate attributes in each respective feature. I am using a _count attribute to join on, by FeatureMerger, but it does not pick up the polylines (Requestor), only the points (Supplier). The end result should be separate columns for polyline and point in the same feature.Any help is appreciated. Thanks, @larue​

Hi, i had no trouble installing the msi file for FME Desktop 2020 but i can´t install the .exe for the 2021 version, Windows 10 always returns an error saying it can´t find the file. Tried unblocking the file, tried saving with a smaller name, nothing worked. Any ideas?

​Main questionCan anyone advise me about the installation of the GDAL Python module and its implications on FME's Python interpretations? Can anyone share their experiences in using a different Python module within FME other than FME's Python interpreter or ArcPy? Background infoCurrently, it is not directly supported to calculate percentile values in the *StatisticsCalculator transformers of FME (e.g. also not in the RasterStatisticsCalculator). See also this Idea on the FME community.In order to still do so, I thought about using a Python script/module to perform this step. Specifically, I would like to extract the 95% percentile of pixel values in a GeoTIFF (those pixel values represent absolute height values), for portions of the GeoTIFF that overlap/intersect with 2D polygon features of building extents.  Python modules likely suitable for the task of calculating 'zonal statistics over a raster'One might use the 'Zonal Statistics As Table (Raster Analysis)' from ArcGIS Pro, which 

I would like to how this mapping works when SpatialFilter does spatial relationship between bases and candidate. As per "Pass Criteria: Pass Against One Filter. Each address point only needs to fall inside one polygon – not all of them." Lets take consider example if I have base as Parcel shape file and candidate as building centroid. When I am applying SpatialFilter with pass criteria as "Pass Against One Filter" then map one building centroid to one parcel if match to one but if match to more than one like vertically overlapping parcel or stacked parcel. then how its link to one parcel out of those ?  Overlapping means like sandwich layer.  Any help here ?

Hi today we tryied update our fme-server from 2020 to 2021.But we are not able to get it work with esri licensing within fme-server 2021 and arcgis pro 2.7In fme-server 2020 everything work fine with arcgis pro 2.7 Thx for any suggest solution! 

I have a hard time to get the XMLXQueryExtractor to do what I need. I wish it was more simple like JSON :-)I want to extract the value 2.2 from this sample:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><Leveringsinformatie xmlns="http://www.kadaster.nl/schemas/klic/leveringsinformatie/v20180418" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2"> <version>2.2</version></Leveringsinformatie>The documentation states I need to declare the namespace because the XML has a namespace. So I tried:declare namespace x='http://www.kadaster.nl/schemas/klic/leveringsinformatie/v20180418';string(//x:Leveringsinformatie/@version)But no luck. I tried all kind of stuff but the only thing that comes close is:declare namespace x='http://www.kadaster.nl/schemas/klic/leveringsinformatie/v20180418';//x:versionBut this returns the entire node, I can't get the value.The easy way is to use the XMLFragmenter with the path Leveringsinforma

Hi, I'm interested to learn more about FME. I went to download the free trial to check out the program but am met with a 404 error when I click on the FME Desktop download link on this page > https://www.safe.com/fme/trial/#desktop Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm having problems with the JsonFragmenter. When I supply de HTTPCaller output to the Defragmenter some values are adjusted. I can't explain why.Anyone with a solution? Regards,Eddy FME InformationEdition: FME Database Edition (floating)Version: FME(R) 2018.1.1.2 (20190121 - Build 18586 - WIN32)

Using a HTTPcaller I downloaded a Zipfile which contains a XML. Using a FeatureReader I retrieved the path of the XML file. Furthermore the FeatureReader was used to read this XML using 'path_windows' as attribute which contains the XML file. However, I got stuck there. In case I read the XML directly using a XML reader it works perfectly.See the attached screenshot for my workflow.

How to derive a coordinate from Geocoder transformer (latitude and longitude) attributes

I want to map values from the following feature:Myfeature:- x = 100- y = 100- z = 150Based on the following rulesnewattribute = a if z > 0 and z < 50 newattribute = b if z > 50 and z < 100 newattribute = c if z > 100 and z < 120  newattribute = d if z > 120 and z < 175 So this feature will get the attribute:newattribute = dI can not seem to find an example with the schemamapper (or any other solution which is NOT Python-coding).The issue is that I have alot of changing interval-rules, in a database - so they can not be hardcoded in the workspace - but have to be read from a csv / Excel-file so the Schemamapper would be great if it could handle larger than and smaller than etc.

I have set of lines and a set of points. I need to find the point that is nearest to the start of each line segment and the point that is nearest to the end of each line segment. I want an attribute from those points to transfer to the line segment.

I would like to duplicate features based on attribute. See following example.The result I would like to acchive would be a set of new features containing only A, only B and only C. E.g. this would require the geometry1 to be duplicated into one A and one B. To make things more complicated the attributes are dynamic, so matching sets need to be found before duplicating.  Any ideas on how to achieve this? 

Hi all,I'm trying to set up a change detection workspace, where I have a WFS that is my updated data and a ArcSDE, which is my original data.  I have added a Feature Reader, which grabs my WFS and the three relevant layers and used that as my Revised part in the Change Detector Transformer. The Original part comes from my ArcSDE Reader. My problem is this: The WFS service usually has a maximum amount of features it will allow me to retrieve. I have different layers in the WFS which far exceed that maximum. Therefore my reader will only parse half of the features on to the Change Detector.  How do I get past this? I tried adding a layer with polygons covering my area, and connecting it to my Feature Reader, setting the Spatial Filter to "Initiator intersects results". This should help the Feature reader, to only read the features within each polygon at a time, and then "ignore" the maximum amount restriction. But this doesn't seem to work, even though I'v

Hi all,  I would like store the historical data in FME Server to MS SQL Server database. I have successfully store the data from FME Desktop to the SQL Server. Then I have publish the workspace to FME server to do the automation which will update the data daily at 9.00 AM.    However, I couldn't store and view the past data in the database once the data is update after the automation. Any suggestions?

I have records with the same identifier but I would like to select the most recent activity on the record. So for example - 2 records with an ID of "2465100000" but against that ID are 2 different cross references added on different dates. I want to select the most recent one (or the oldest). Please can anyone advise as to the best way to do this so I have only one line remaining based on date. Many thanks

Hi, How can I copy the style (Presentation: color, symbol, size, zoom levels) of another shapefile file to my current project. thanks. I'm using Workbench 2020.2

This question is in follow-up to this earlier post, which is, so far, unanswered ... After consulting with some CAD colleagues, I am starting to think that user attributes added to plain features (in my case points), not blocks, by the CAD Writer are invalid for AutoCAD. In fact, a Google search turned up no mention of user attributes outside of blocks ... and opening the output CAD file in FME shows no sign of the User Attributes defined in the Writer. Sigh.
