Hello, I followed steps of this tutorial (using generic workspace) : https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server but i Have a problem :I followed all steps.I just have a doubt on Target_URI : Is it OK ?Thank you.

Hello, I'm new to FME and want to work out which transformers can be used for this task. I need to query a text field held in a CSV file against a list of values (text) stored in a separate CSV. If these values are present I would like to add a value of '1' to a new field in the CSV. I'm sure this is very basic but would be grateful for any assistance!Chris

I am creating PDF documents with a series of responses, so I first create a multi-line attribute then I pass that through the PDFPageFormatter and onto a PDF writer. The problem is some of the responses run off the page. I am needing to restrict the width of the multi-line attribute using something like a word-wrap function. Any ideas?

I have 1 line and 1 polygon layer, have to extract all the intersection points and create a point layer with the attributes of line and polygon present on it, how it can be done?

When I open my KML file in Google Earth, I can see the data displayed in folders in the table of contents. When I use the KML reader to read the data, that folder name doesn't show up on my features. How do I get that out?

The scenario: I have a set of 2000+ 3D polygons and a set of 2+ million(!) 3D points (with all Z's equal 0 at the start). The polygons are essentially surfaces. (I will call them that.) These surfaces massively overlap and have widely varying footprints but are at all sorts of different heights above ground. In fact, most are sloped, and many change elevation position realtive to each other as one moves horizontally through the field of surfaces.The need: For each point (XY location), I need to determine the surface elevation at that location for each surface that the point falls within and to choose the lowest elevation and put that value in an attribute on the point.So far: I have run the points and polygons through a PointOnAreaOverlayer with list building. This conveniently gives me points with a list of containing areas, where the lists are not too long, maybe 5 to 30 elements.The question: How do I loop through the area list and then compare the point to each of the

Hello, I am struggling with transforming a dataset that I have to the desired format. I have a table that looks (for example) like this:ID;16;50;60;75X1;10;25;80;95X2;30;30;90;X3;25;;80;100 The first issue is that I need to use the column headers to get classes:0-16, 16-50, 50-60, 60-75But for ID X3 the value in column 50 is missing and therefore I need to get the class 16-60 (instead of 16-50 as is the case for ID X1 and X2). I don't know how to create this in FME.  Secondly, I need to calculate the value for each class by substracting the values from each other. So for ID X1 I need the following result:Class 0-16 = 10Class 16-50 = 15Class 50-60 = 55Class 60-75 = 15Class >75 = 5 Besides, I want the classes as an upper- and lower limit column.So the final result that I need for the three ID's is:ID;UPPER_LIMIT;LOWER_LIMIT;VALUEX1;16;0;10X1;50;16;15X1;60;50;55X1;75;60;15X1;;75;5X2;16;0;30X2;50;16;0X2;60;50;60X2;;60;10X3;16;0;25X3;60;16;55X3;75;60;20X3;;75;0 I hope my explanat

I have a number of GPS tracking records that contain straight line segments i.e. noise arisen from loss of signal. I would like to remove lines > 1 km to improve visualising the data. The workbench would need to:Find straight line segments within each dataset > 1kmBreak/Split the line on the vertexDelete the line > 1kmThe lines that have been split at either end can remain as they are i.e. do not need to be merged or joined Please can someone briefly describe the workflow that I would need to create to achieve this?

I'm making a custom transformer and the users will select multiple choices from a published parameter list that contains a value with text that includes a parsable field name with other info. I've been working to parse that out into a comma delimited attribute, which I now have. In my reading of other questions surrounding this, it seems like this is not possible with truly dynamic transformers/workspaces, but in my case I have a known list of the names. What is the best way to expose attributes that are known in this way in a custom transformer or in general?Thanks!

Hello all. I'm trying to determine the best way to read the schema of an SDE geodatabase. My end goal is to read each table/feature class' attributes and properties (name, data type, length/precision) from a File Geodatabase and compare them to tables/feature classes from an SDE geodatabase. Most are the same but can differ slightly for a quarterly data load of 300+ tables/feature classes. I've managed to use the Schema (Any Format) Reader for the File Geodatabase, but if I use the same reader on the SDE geodatabase, it gives me an error: "An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection parameters from the connection file ''". It sort of looks like it can't find the connection file, even though a working .sde connection file is in the "Source Dataset" parameter, and there aren't many other parameter options available. Does anyone have thoughts on how to configure the Schema (Any Format) Reader for an SDE geodatabase, or is t

Hi, I have a CSV file with 20 spatial points & I was able to convert the points into a line (using LineBuilder) but the line which is created is having a single feature to it. I have used Chopper Transformer to cut the line. It does the job for cutting the lines but all features get same as the first one feature.How I can separate the feature as well with the lines Please Help ..!

Do packages need to be re-uploaded when FME Server is updated to a new version?Are uploaded packages available on a per-user basis or are packages uploaded by one user available for use by another user on FME Server? Thanks

Hello!Once again, I've come across an error I have never seen before and can't find online.I'm adding a new ArcGIS Online feature layer to an existing workbench, which matches points inside polygons (using the PointOnAreaOverlayer) and gives the points the project number attribute from the polygon.This works fine for all the layers inside it, but this new layer gives the following error:ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: 'updateResults' error for a feature in '<layerName>'. The error code from the server was '1000' and the message was: '24126: Point coordinates cannot be infinite or not a number (NaN).'I checked the point which was sent to the layer (using the feature caching), it shows on the map just fine and according to the attributes it's an IFMEPoint. But at the end of the coordinates it shows <nan>, regardless of the X, Y and Z values. The main difference between this layer and the others is this one is the first with a Z-value attached. So I expect that's the pro

Hi list.(This is not about the new streams feature)We're trying to utilize FME server for processes, that accept a streaming input and produces a streaming output. I.e. HTTP handlers.As far as I can tell, you can't initiate such a process via the REST api, as this overrules the output with its own JSON stream. You need to create and use a webhook. Is this correct ?Even with a webhook it seems, that the streaming input (= POST body) is ignored. Are there some special requirements in the formatting of this input ?Our input is a custom XML format.Our output needs to be a CAD file. All examples only name XML and JSON as options, so is this even possible ? If so, what are the specific requirements to accomplish this ?Any insights are appreciated.Cheers.

Hi, I am trying to merge two datasets, one being the primary dataset that has Levels and the second dataset that has Zones. Each level has all the zones associated to that the level. I would like to achieve a dataset that displays this merged dataset. I have created a small sample of the actual larger dataset below. I think the solution involves some sort of list handling but I have tried out several list transformers but so far haven’t been successful, I would like the desired outcome in columns as shown above and not in rows as I think can be achieved by exploding attributes. If this cannot be achieved using transformers, I am happy to use a python script inside the pythoncaller if someone doesn’t mind sharing a script. Appreciate any advice either way.  Thanks in advance.

I would like to know if there is any way that I can host an Fme Server application on my organization's website (for example) that is published using cPanel. What I would like to do is that through a public website, some of our clients can access a server application. I know that I can connect some other web application to the fme server using rest API or url webhooks if the server has a public IP address, which can be accessed from an external network. Can anyone enlighten me on this issue? I am just getting started in web development and these questions come to mind. Thanks

I have a workbench which has a complex custom transformer added in which a python caller is present. I wanted to check what is happening in that python caller so I used some print statements. But I cannot find those print statements in logs that is being generated. How to get the log of a custom transformer in FME Desktop 2019.

I want to reopen an old case that is still of interest:Geodatabase Error (-2147219884): The Field already exists (safe.com)My error isn't of the "reserved word" origin nor related to having "shape" as an attribute name.When trying to dynamically create tables in a GDB I get the "Field already exists" error. If I send each feature type to a corresponding table it runs.For what I am trying to do, connecting readers and writers by hand is not worth it.Can someone from Safe comment on this?

Hi, I have a workspace that is retrieving me data from an API every 15 seconds, thus I can have a web app that can read the messages trough a websocket and then display the info on a map (similar to the FME demo: http://demos.fmeserver.com/spatialdashboard/index.html ) In my case, I am not using it to show moving objects but to locate earthquakes, and the interval only allows to keep my data up to date. Now if I want to send a notification via email, for example with earthquakes reaching a certain magnitude, how can I prevent my notification from being triggered every 15 seconds and instead only send notifications once per event? Thanks

Which transformer can we use for finding Dangled Nodes from a Road Network ? (:

I was wondering if anyone here can help me out with an FME expression that is part of a larger FME puzzle. Skip ahead for the FME expression I'm trying to write, or read the whole thing for background information. As most of us know, there is probably more than one solution to the overall puzzle. Background information about the FME puzzle:I have a Table1 with a column called USERNAME that is a list of names, and a column called called USERPHONE that is a list of associated phone numbers. I have a different Table2 with a column called BLDG_INSP with a list of names, and an empty column called BLDG_INSP_PHONE. Based on the information in Table1, I want to populate BLDG_INSP_PHONE. Initially I tried various Joins and conditional statements in AttributeManager, but no luck. So, I combined USERNAME and USERPHONE into a single column called USERNAMEUSERPHONE, separated by a comma, to use as a bridge. Ex: <Anthony Stokes,123-456-789> The idea is that I can write a conditional state

I'm using the AttributeExploder to prepare a two line table for an HTML report, the header as 'name' column and the value line has another.  How to avoid unwanted 'values' or hide them? It adds those two:fme_geometry fme_undefinedfme_type fme_no_geom Or is there a way to filter out value before using in the HTML report transformer?

Hi I'm creating a DWG-file witch gets it name from the published parameter outfile. This works fine when I call the workbench directly from the desktop. But if I upload the workbench to the FME-server and then using the Data Download Service I get the default name instead of the supplied parameter.Here is an example of a http-request to the fme-server:http://localhost/fmedatadownload/SPIV/spiv2dwg.fmw?export_spiv_data_id=99&outfile=newname.dwg I first thought I somehow failed to supply a value for the outfile-parameter, but since the other parameter is working fine, I don't think that could be the problem... Regards Nils P.S I'm using FME Workbench and server 19.1 resp 19.0

I can add new resource folders to FME Resource area at the top level, is there any way to create a FME Server Paramter that refrences that newly added folder ?

I'm trying to build a workflow as such:A user is presented with a HTML file showing a web map with features that is created by the HTMLReportGenerator. The user can click on a feature on the map displaying the tooltip which has a hyperlink as set in the Label Attribute setting in the transformer. The user can then click the hyperlink to be directed to an additional webpage or form. Is it possible to have a hyperlink in this setting? Whenever I try it, the HTML page returns with no web map at all.
