This is part of another ongoing process. At this point I have 3 DXF file features. #1 = River lines (outlines for eventually a River Area) , #2 AOI for this sheet of data that has now been broken up at each intersecting river line, #3 River centerlines. What I'm attempting to do is select each broken AOI piece that instersects/ touches the river center line and keep only those. The spatial relator or the spatial filter both show that they should work but it is not grabbing all of them. I'm getting roughly 8 out of 11 chopped AOI lines that i need. Everything has been snapped to the AOI to ensure they are close enough together in order to be touching/intersecting (i've used both parameters in the spatialrelator/ spatialfilter tools). In ArcMap you would be able to use the select by location and grab all of these features but I want to do this in fme. Any help would be great.  The Red line would be my river centerline and the two blue lines would be the chopped AOI lines i wa

Simple Question:I have a GeoTiff writer. I want the root name name of the GeoTiff to be the same as the root name from a LAS reader. So if the las file is called "cheese.las", the geotiff would end up as "cheese.tif". I tried connecting the las reader to a FilenamePartExtractor, connecting the output of that to my geotiff writer, then setting my "Raster File Name" parameter as the "_rootname" value from that output:  Seemed logical - but now I'm getting this error:GEOTIFF writer: Failed to obtain raster from feature. Only features with raster geometry are expected It appears that new connection is sending the geometry of my las point cloud to the geotiff, when all I really need is the name of the thing.What do I do?

Has described in the article job priority is no more supported. I've migrated to fme server 2018.1.0.3 and dekstop too. I have upgraded FMEServerJobSubmitters but in advanced settings of the transformer I find Job priority ... 100 . Why? I can't delete the value and if I run my jobs I find warning in fmeserver.log:WARN RequestHandler-Thread 404636 : Job 1801 specifies a priority, but job priority is no longer supported. Use job queue priority instead. Please see: http://fme.ly/KB72058 How to fix warning and my workbench? Thank you

Hello, I have the following problem writing SQLite files.I have several use cases where I want to write SQLITE files. For my application, it is important that the virtual tables are also generated in the SQLITE file. If the table name is Table_A, there should also be a virtual table fdo_table_A.I've created some workbench that worked. But I also have workbenchs in which the virtual tables are not created and I do not see the difference. Does anyone know the condition that these virtual tables are created?Many Thanks David

Hi, I have 2 inputs(shp) using it in AreaOnAreaOverlay transformer where I want to have output from both the readers but, it is always coming from either of them. Is it about which transformer is connected first to the transformer or added first or something else. I am not getting it the right way. Need expertise!

I have a large dataset in an Intergraph Geomedia SQL Server feature class that is a compound feature class. It is a combination of line and area features, but I only want the area features. Because of the size of the dataset, I would like to get the database to do the work separating the two as it reads in the data (not using a GeometryFilter on the canvas). To do this, I'm trying to use a WHERE clause on the reader that only selects a certain geometry type from an exposed Format attribute ("fme_geometry" = 'fme_polygon'). But this isn't working. I've been successful with a similar WHERE clause on a User attribute, but can't get any results with the Format attribute.Is it even possible to use a WHERE clause on a Format attribute?

I probably found a discrepancy in the StringReplacer but would like to check.In the Attributes field not only Attributes but also User Parameters are selectable. Nothing seems to happen, and I think this is correct behaviour, or am I missing something?Checked in Workbench 2018.1.1.0

I am trying to utilize a file share within a workbench and establish a network based resource connection on FME Server through the web ui but receiving errors that we have been unable to diagnose. In both uses, the error states "Folder not found" and the location is being referenced by unc path (e.g. \\\\server-name\\folder). The folder in question contains a space, so I have attempted using single quotes and url encoding the unc path with no success. We currently use other file shares within FME Server, and have granted the computers credential (e.g. mango$) read/write access to those resources with success. From the system that runs FME Server, I can verify that other users can access the file share in question, so there doesn't appear to be a firewall issue or other connection related issue. Any help would be appreciated in resolving this issue.We are currently on FME Server 2017.0.0.1

Hialthough I can read english quite fluently, for this kind of technical stuff I still feel more confortable doing it in my mother tongue, spanish. I feel I lose nuances that can make my processes more efficient becuase I did not select the right transformer.I have seen that there exist the FME in spanish, but I don't need it. I am OK working in english, it is just sometimes I waste too much time 'deciphering' the help :)I have seen that all the documentation (and you have a lot) is in english. Maybe it is just I did not look in the right place.So, is there any place where I can find the documentation in Spanish?Thank you very much in advanceAitor

I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find the exact answer to my question which is:How do I change the output name of an excel sheet (or file) based on a specific attribute name. Example: I need my output sheet name to be "Namn" and automatically read from the attribute name since I have multiple similar datasets but with variations on "Namn". All of which should be put into a separeate sheet but in the same file.It is probably really simple but as I said, I couldn't find it.(For me the output parameters and schemas are real confusing) 

I have a workspace that I am attaching here . Its function is to cut the trails using the first network limit, now besides making this cut, I also need to cut the trails using park, but always creating polygons with the remaining cut parts. P.S. all input file are DWG    In this workspace if I use only network works perfectly (see image), but if I enter the park layer, the following error below appears:  INDEX FAILURE - requested predicate not implemented  Why does it happen? Can you help me? Thank´s

I have a workspace that creates a csv file, that I want to upload to a ftp server.Should I use one workspace or two? One option that I am considering is to have two workspaces. The first creates the csv file and places it in a directory. The second workspace is just the FTPCaller (triggered by a creator) and runs when the first workspace successfully completes.Or, is it possible to have a single workspace, that both creates a csv and uploads it to the ftp site?

I have tried multiple combinations, but it seems the "Max Features to Read Per Feature Type" value is being ignored. I have 14 Feature Classes selected in my "FEATURE_TYPES" Published Parameter, so hence, if I set the value to 2, it should read 28 records but unfortunately it seems to only read 2 records from a random Feature Class. I am using v2016.1.0.1Refer @mhab's comments in this idea post: https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/25361/add-a-max-feature-to-read-per-feature-type-paramet.html

I've attached () a DWG file, which have 2 layers, I need to create / close polygons using the TRAIL layer, however the TRAIL layer in some sections cross with NETWORK, and so the polygon is not created. How can I create a polygon from the moment that TRAIL touches the first line NETWORK? See the images below:  Thank you

Hi all!  I need the adjacent feature within a loop but I get the error that Attribute Manager is a blocking transformer and therefore it won't work. I use blocking transformers in linked custom transformers all the time and it works fine. Is there a particular reason that you can't use the Attribute Manager within a loop?   Thanks!

Just a confirmation on FME specifications.Does FME support "ZIP64" (allowing to create larger than 4GB archive) on every 64-bit platform - Windows, Linux and MacOS - for writing features into a destination archive?

Anyone have any ideas on how to continue around this? When I have downloaded the file myself, it seems that I can unzip it and open it just fine in like notepad++, but FME is having issues... In the past this occasionally happened, but it still ran successfully 1 out of 8 or 9 times, but it has been throwing errors the past 3 days. Need to get this resolved ASAP :)XML Parser error: 'Error in input dataset:'www.WEBURL OF XML FILE.xml' line:1 column:15 message:exceeded byte limit at byte 'ý' in a 6-byte sequence'The XML Module halted on error, see the logfile for details  Also have been getting similar errors likeXML Parser error: 'Error in input dataset:'www.WEBURL OF XML FILE.xml' line:1 column:15 message:invalid byte '‰' at position 1 of a 1-byte sequence'

I am trying to create a process that will do a few things:1. I need to create mile points between a beginning mile point and an ending mile point.2. I need to be able to pull the nearest mile point from a line closest to the point feature.I feel like I'm on the right track to successfully make this work, but something must be missing because the MeasureExtractor transformer is rejecting all measurements.Click here to download a template of my workspace.Any help is appreciated!

Hi, Im trying to Convert a DFX file to a GDB. The CAD file is a repesntation of a Piping System. The conversion runs successfully but pipes that run vertically (along x axis) loose their shape length. For the Reader in the format attribute tab: autocad_color, autocad_entity, autocad_layer, fme_attrib_info{}.field_value are checked. I'm using FME Desktop 2014, AutoCAD 2013, ArcGIS/ArcScene 10.1The DFX is 2007 Format  

I have a huge shape file which contains whole country data. i have one more file which contains a boundary. for example we can say zipcode boundary. i wnated to write the features falling inside this boundary.FMe's fearure merger or area overlayer reads all the features and checks with the boundary if it is intersects or not. this process takes too long. I need some kind of mechanism which will read only the features which is near (buffer) to the boundary. or any kind... or method. reading whole country data is not recommended rught? How can we process fast ?can anyone from the team help me?

Have ArcGIS Pro 2.2.4 installed on an AWS box with the "Data Interoperability" license but on the Analysis ribbon, the Workbench icon is grayed out and says "This command is currently disabled. Authorize and enable the Data Interoperability Extension to access this functionality." Been on the phone with Esri and they want me to switch from a Named User to a concurrent license but that is not an option right now for me. They are thinking the remote desktop is blocking the license somehow and to try using Process Monitor to find the issue...not much fun! Anyone else have this issue? I know this is more an Esri issue but not making much progress on that end. Side note - I have ArcGIS Pro installed locally as well and do NOT have this issue. Trying the leverage the super duper Graphics Bundle we have on the AWS box for processing.

Hi, I've created some published parameters for some tranformers, I used Choice with Alias for all parameters and they all have same set of aliases. For example, choice "2000" represents 576 of rows and columns in Tiler and represents E of attribute value of AttributeCreator. Every time I ran the workbench I have to set every published parameter into 2000.I'm wondering if I can create a universal published parameter of these published parameters, so I only need to choose one time every time I run the workbench.@takashi @DaveAtSafe @david_r @jdh @Mark2AtSafe

Hello,please, I have question about line merging. I have got data of furniture in buidling, but e.g. chest of drawers in 2D is chopped into 29 lines (check my pic below). What I need - merge all lines into one line feature. Unfortunately, there is no attribute what can define ID or unit of chest of drawers, so the geometry aggregation must be based on spatial touch. In drawing, there are lot of chests of drawers, not just one.Any tips please?Thank You so much!Lubo
