Hi, I have used SchemaMapper to create two new attributes that have successfully mapped to my output shapefile. I can see them in the inspector in the Feature Information window. However, I want to map these values into my attribute table. When I try to expose these attributes using AttributeExposer they are not there. I have searched through many posts on these forums and can't seem to find an exact answer. Could someone help me with this?ThanksB

Hi, I would like to convert GML files into shapefiles using FME but have no idea how to do this. Could someone tell me where I could find instructions for this? Many thanks.

I have a "mapinfo" table that I'm trying to load into a oracle DB with SDO_Geometry. My license doesn't let me create a writer in FME as an Oracle Spatial table. So my workaround is to add the tables as "oracle non-spatial" tables. This works fine for address points but when I run the following SQL;This updates successfully. The issues is when I check in "Data Inspector" if its saved correctly (for this particular record which is a multipolygon). I get only one of the polygon objects returning;

 I have a set of areas. And all neighbours should be connected with a line. If I have 10 areas they should be connected with 9 lines to connect them all. I have tried to explain in detail with the attached pdf and in annotations in my workspace. I have a solution but its not the best solution and could probably be edited to something better. For small amount of data it works. But for large its a heavy process.  The end result should look something like the images below Alla areas are connected    Alla areas are connected  And there are 1 less line then there is areas     

Hi,I have a set of 24 attributes each with a calculation which results in a numeric value. Is there a way to set a conditional statement across all of these in a similar way to how the NullAttributeMapper works?I want to apply across all 24 attributes "If value <0, then map to 0" but i want to try and avoid 24 individual conditional statements within an AttributeManager.Thanks,Jack

i have 5 pathes of lines and they intersected in one point and each path has 4 connected lines and each lines has his own id .when i use network topology uilder by id ,i find it considers all lines in all paths as connected has the same value of network id  i want to work on each 5 paths but as not connected in one point ,how could i do that .i mean ,as first path that has 4 connected lines and each lines in this path connected till the point that intersected with another pathsi want to consider 4 lines in each path as conneced but not connects with another pathi do not want to consider every path that includes lines as connected to other paths .i want to make each path as seperated ,how could i do that.Thanks  

Hi, I have a IIS web server on the same machine that FME Desktop is installed. On the web server a php script calls a FME workbench using "shell_exec(same_as_batch_text)", and the workbench executes. The problem is that FME can't connect to the database when the command is being sent through IIS and php. I have followed the information on https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/61651/fme-failing-to-run-from-a-batch-file.html without getting any further. This means: - My database is made public. - The default paths are moved to a location with common access.Any suggestions?

Lets say I have a polyline that covers a road, and on that road there are multiple stoppage points represented by another layer (point layer), how can I segment that 1 polyline to autocut to the closest point in its vicinity? (the points are not always overlayed exactly ontop of the polyline). Here is an example So for this 1 polyline I am trying to get 11 pollines where it would break at each dot.

HiI have a workbench looking at a json feed: https://niord.dma.dk/rest/public/v1/messages?lang=dk&domain=niord-nmThe feed contains attachments for some of the features, with a column specifying a link to the location of the attachment (PNG file typically):I would like to populate a field with this url, so that I can sent it to correxponding features in a SDE database. i tried to use AttributeExposer and AttributeCreator to extract the link to a new coloumn, but this seems impossible as the coloumns with the attachment information is not available in the list of attributes to expose/create (should be between areas and charts):How can I extract the information from attachments coloumns to an attribute in FME then?Here is an example of one of the attachment files:https://niord.dma.dk/rest/repo/file/messages/e/f0/ef03d235-70af-44e9-8a20-8c506534abfe/80/Overview%20with%20national%20measures_5.png

I'm aiming to compare the values of multiple tables from two different data sources with FME.

Greetings, I’m needing to loop through a list of zones and run a series of calculations and spatial intersections that require a rather lengthy model. The trick is I need the model to still grab the next value in the list and run all the calculations accordingly. The only way I know to do this is to use a workspacerunner and call a separate workspace containing the list each time I need the next value. This seems highly inefficient so is there not a better way to setup a single workspace and have it loop through the list at the beginning, run all calculations, and proceed to next value in the list?

Hi list.I'm tasked with creating an XML, that is compromised from many different sources (database tables/views). I'm plannning to use a number of XmlTemplater's to accomplish this.But each feature from some of these sources is represented in the final XML as a bit of GML wrapped in special tags.FeatureWriter will collect all input features into a single GML file. This is not what I want.Is there a way to make FME output the GML representation for each feature ?Cheers.Lars I.

Hi list.I'm currently trying to generate a composite XML using XmlTemplater.One of the details is that tags without text value must not be output at all.I tried to utilize the following expression (from the help page):{ if( {fme:has-attribute("mailadresse")} )then <ler:mailadresse>{fme:get-attribute("mailadresse")}</ler:mailadresse>else ()}My expectation (for "else") is that output is only generated if an attribute value is present.Much to my surprise, "<ler:mailadresse/>" is output instead, even though the attribute value in question is <null>.Can anyone share how to tweak the expression, so "else" produces absolutely no output ?And yes, the presence of the "else" part seems to be mandatory.Using 2020.0

Hi, I am trying to generate a simple HTML page on FME Server 2017 to start an FME Server Jobsubmitter Job. I use an HTML template where I replace the server part of the URL by $(FME_SERVER_WEB_URL). We are on a secure environment and the FME Server is on URL https://myfmeserver.mycomp.nl:443/fmeserver. But when I use the FME_SERVER_WEB_URL parameter, it returns the insecure version of it: http://myfmeserver.mycomp.nl:80/fmeserver. The service URLs are configured for SSL, i.e., starting with https://. How does FME Engine "know" about its URL? What is the source of the $(FME_SERVER_WEB_URL) parameter? Thanks in advance.

I hope you are doing well during these different times. I have some point data that represents addresses. Sometimes one address (123 Main St) can have more than one feature because one represents the building and one the parcel. I have used the Matcher, matching on the address string field. Now, I have a _match_id that is unique for each different address. Now I want to filter the data. Ex: For each unique _match_id value, filter out features that are an address_type of Building. How do you suggest doing this?

Is there a way to set default annotation styling? I find that the text size is too small and I like to use different colour backgrounds but have to set it on every annotation I drop on the canvas. I can't find any settings to set defaults. ThanksSeb

Hello, I would like to split the line with the intersected Points. Seems easy, but it does not work for me...I have a lot of line which I merged together with a "NetworkTopologyCalculator" it looks that it works. After with aggregator I get 1 Line (what I wanted to). Then setted PointOnLineOverlayer. There I have the points, which intersected the Line. But the result from Overlayer is not as I needed. does anybdy have any idea, whay it been splitted on "wrong" place, and not there where the are the points?I get a sum of 840 lines, what is completely wrong.  Thanks a lot
