Identify group of attributes where any amount of entries in another attribute has specific value

Hi There,Apologies in advance if the title is a mess. Not quite sure how to better word this problem I've encountered. Essentially I want to isolate (and discard) and GROUP where any of the entries involved has First off, let me show what my data looks like:TYPEGROUP1A1A1A1B2B1B1C1C1CI'd like to isolate all GROUPS where any of the TYPE values are "2", Like Group "B" in this example. Even if a group has 100 entries and only 1 of them has value 2, that entire group and all its entries needs to be identified.Any ideas on how to easily achieve this?Best regards,

Find unique (non-duplicate) geometry with no textures

Hi, I am parsing a 3D CityGML model that mostly have a texture for each IFMEFace. That is great, but sometimes there are duplicate IFMEFaces, one with texture and another without, which I can filter out those untextured ones using GeometryPropertyExtractor. But other times, there are untextured IFMEFace with no duplicates that I still like to keep, which the GeometryPropertyExtractor filters out regardless. How can I achieve this?I tried the Matcher but I think I just want either the SingleMatched or NotMatched output, not both.Thanks for any help.My current setup:

Directory and File Pathnames reader error

I'm using FME Workbench 2018.1 FME(R) 2018.1.0.2 (20180903 - Build 18547 - WIN64)Sometimes the directory and file pathnames reader does not stop once it has read all files on my external hard drive. It reads the same files multiple times. The only way I've found to fix this is to delete the reader and recreate it, however even then it's pretty inconsistent with whether it stops or not after reading all the files.I have tried setting max number of features to read to 5 in order to test if it stops, and it doesn't stop after 5 features.Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a solution?After a little further testing, it appears that I start running into problems when I use * as a path filter.

Problem with notification that is not "activated"

Hi all,I encounter an issue with topic on FME Server:I have one workspace (the controller) that triggers another (the worker) via a jobsubmitter.The worker posts on the topic "reporter_database" in case of success. It sends some json code.Case 1: When I run the worker via the controller, the topic is not "activated".Case 2: If I launch the worker directly via the web browser interface, it runs correctly and activates the topic.I remarked there was a difference between the two approaches (see picture). On the rigth (case2), there are some FME Directives and Notification Manager Directives while there is nothing on case1...Does someone have an idea how I can solve the case 1?Thank you !Laurent

How to turn fake holes into proper ones? Opposite of DonutBridgeBuilder?

I have a polygon layer that has various geometry issues, mostly self-intersections. I have used the GeometryValidator to clean these up, but it has had the unfortunate consequence of filling in the holes. This is because they are not proper holes, but "fake" ones created by digitising a zero width corridor. So the hole boundary is actually part of the exterior boundary (highlighted in example below). The corridors are detected as self-intersections. Is there anything I can do to output the polygons with proper holes, or at least detect the polygons with fake holes so they can be edited manually? There are too many self-intersections reported by GeometryValidator to use for manually repairing the holes.I've found this similar topic but I'm not quite sure if @offermann82 is looking for the same solution...https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/59610/how-to-split-polygons-with-holes-that-touch-the-bo.htmlI think I want the opposite of what DonutBridgeBuilder does...ht

Calculate azimuth based on other attribute

I have a feature class. There is a ID field in this feature class, like below: 101L1101L2101L3101L4101L5101L6101L7101L8101L9101L10...102L57102L58102L59102L60102L61102L62102L63... I plan to add a new field called AZIMUTH. I need to use ID field above to find the "next" feature, for example, if current feature ID is 101L4, I will try use 101L5, and use this "next" feature and current feature to calculate AZIMUTH. Can you tell me how to find 101L5 in this case? Better use transformers. If not possible use python is also OK.

What I am doing wrong? Bufferer tool error

Hello people,I am new to GIS and FME. For my study we are using ArcMap. Ik have an shapefile and now I need to create a 5000 meter buffer around the shapefile. Therefore I must use the Bufferertool from FME. The result wil be written to a file geodatabase. Anytime I run the spatial ETL tool from FME I get an error and see no buffer of 5000m around the points of the shapefile.I have ad some screenshot. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong in my setup?Thanks in advance.Tijs

Can IPTC metadata tags be exposed using FME ?

Greetings all, Does anyone know if it's possible to expose IPTC metadata tags in JPGs (eg photos) using FME ? Specifically I'm trying to expose the Keyword metadata tag which may contain null or an unlimited number of keywords. ............. If this is not currently possible using FME and someone from Safe is reading this, could this functionality pleased be added ? (it's noted that EXIF metadata tags CAN be exposed). Ideally if keywords could be added as a List attribute ie each keyword seperated by a comma (for example) that would be fantastic. ................................... Regards Howard L'

PNG-writer prints out extra PNG-files

Hi!I am trying to tile some PNG:s with the WebMapTiler. My problem is when writing the data to PNG-format the writer put extra "_1" to some of the tiles.The fanout is @Value(_zoom_level)/@Value(_tile_column) and when I inspect the objects just before the writer no object has any "_1" as fanout. But when the writer writes data to my folder it divides some of the PNG:s into two, like this:1218.png1218_1.png1219.png1220.png1220_1.png 1221.pngDoes someone know why the writer prints PNG:s with the "_1"-ending?

For example in the IDENTIFICATION path there are UserFields{1} to {5} that I want to extract and label like this 1 Manufacturer No Alphanumeric 40 2 Manufacture_Date No Date 11 3 Model_Number No Alphanumeric 40 4 Make No Alphanumeric 40 5 Serial_Number No Alphanumeric 40
