Hello,Screen shot attached is an answer from HERE API. What I do not get is : why I only see the first 3 attributes in the TableView window within the Inspector ? If I can understand a little more on that one, that would be helpful to then process info from response.isoline{*}.component{*}.shape{*} (encoded: UTF-8) records especially.Thank you for your inputs, regards.

My features have an attribute _mapsheet. When I use the inspector I can see the _mapsheet attribute is populated when it comes out of the FeatureReaderBut then when I check the attribute after it has been through the RasterExtentsCoercer (which I have named RawRasterExtent in my workspace) the attribute is no longer populated.I had this workspace working in FME 2017. Is this a bug in 2018? Or is there something extra I need to do.TIA

Hi,I have a table of locations that I'm trying to split into from_location and to_location columns as shown below. Starting with: Location1234Want: from_locationto_location122334Thanks for your help!

I have been supplied a LAS files to extract features from. FME has been able to do a pretty good job at it and I have been able to extract the likes of Road Markings and Signs from the pointcloud. However, I am hoping that there may a few more idea of refining the process to get "nicer" features from the data.For the road marking, I really want a process that looks at the outer points and removes all the vertices in between. I can't seem to find a "generalization/smoothing" that does it nicely. (Thanks to @dmitribagh for the initial workspace)   For the signs, I have just have got to the point to of extracting from the LAS. So I need to create into a vertical surface/polygons. I have an idea to extract the full surface in much the same way as above, although to I believe for each sign, I will:- User Centrelinereplacer to extract the angle of the sign.- coordinateswapper, so that I am looking down on the sign face- Rotate the sign using angle to look at the full

Hi all,I am wondering how is the best way to create a new column in fme with say last modified date and then extract the last time excel file was saved into the column for each record?Thanks

I have to two geometry (Polyline), segment lengths are different and spatial aligned. I want to transfer the attribute of 2nd geometry to 1st geometry? Some attributes of the segment are calculated on the bases of length. I only need to transfer attribute which is overlaped by 1st geometry segment.

I am licensed for only one engine but a second engine is created automatically when I use FMEJobSubmitter. Is this normal? Does this count as using two licenses? If I run this job on a server that already has two engines will both licenses be in use? Thanks

Hi, I have a model in ARCGIS model builder that perfectly iterates through features. What i do: I grab a polygone from a dataset make buffer around and than clip over it 3 other shapes - I would like to do this for 30 polygones (each with uniq ID). In FME workspace i built a complex model with a tester transformer, but it it is too complex, because one of the shapes that overlays and have to be cliped has over 7.5 million of rows.Any solution? Thanks

Hello! I used Clipper to divide the lines with the areas. In some places as a result of "outside" I got lines consisting of two elements.How can I remove parts of lines that do not get red line? I used Chopper to separate the lines and then I wanted to filter the data through Spatial Filter (by "filter intersects candidate" where Filter is a red line) but it doesn't take into account Chopper's separation..Thanks for your help 

I have a problem with conversion of 4 bands GeoTiff into ECW. I'm quite new to this. For me seems that ECW can hold up to 65k bands, so I think this should be possible. The bands are RED8 GREEN8 BLUE8 UINT8 - if I write only RGB it works, as well it works then I only choose UINT8 band.How could I write all the bands to ECW file ? Any clues ? I took a look at this reply: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/66914/ecw-writer-this-format-does-not-support-writing-th.htmlBut unfortunately it didn't help.

Hello! I need to get a sum of some features. Please have a look at the picture, it is maybe easier to understand what I need. I need to get a sum of these houses therea are in the different parts of city. The problem is that the name and amount of streets are allways different. I do not know how to automate it.. Any ideas?

Hello all,I have an issue with StringPairReplacer. I want to use the word boundaries function in this transformer but it's not available. PairsBeforeAfter1TransportTrans.2WorkWks.ResultBeforeAfter1Deniz TransportationDeniz Trans.port2NetworkNetWksI want to manipulate only "Transport" and "Work" words not "Transportation" and "Networks".Is there any workaround for this issue? StringReplacer is not easy to use for a huge abbreviation list. I need to add hundreds of StringReplacer transformer for each case.Thank you

[Using FME Server 2018]I am reading in a large volume or MicroStation files and want to limit the levels that are being read in. In a previous step I created a an Excel file of all of the unique level names in the DGN files for the user to review and give categories to. The user can then delete what they don't want and make sure the categories are correct for the rest. In the next step these categories will be assigned to each of the level names. I realize that I can just remove any feature that does not have a category assigned to it later in the process but that is not efficient. Since the DGN reader can populate the features to be read, I thought I could just read the list of level names from the newly reviewed Excel file and use that to limit which levels I read in. The difference is not minor. If I read in all of the features unfiltered, that would be over 1 million features. Filtering it first can bring it down to under 700,000 features.I was thinking something with an Excel

Why would feature attributes be missing when using a reader? On inspection features such as fme_basename or fme_dataset are present in table but with a value 'missing'??

Hi FME ninjas,I'm struggling trying to transform XML data to tabular data. Attached is an example XML. I'm looking at records that have multiple opening hours per day of the week. (in the example dayNumber="2" is Monday)Opening and closing time are in "timeBegin" / "timeEnd" I'm trying to aggregate / merge these into one row.What I'd like to have:stationCode Monday1_open Monday1_close Monday2_open Monday2_close RNSC01 0700 1200 1400 1800 Thanks, Ed

Hi,I have a dataset with an attribute containing a JSON file for every feature. The dataset also has an attribute called frequency. I'd like to add the key frequency to the JSON file, with the value in the frequency attribute. I tried using the JSONUpdater transformer:Update Type: Insert into Object JSON path: json Object/Array index: frequency Value Type: Plain Text Value: [the value of the frequency attribute]The resulting JSON file has a key frequency with a string of length 0 as a value.I also tried:Update Type: Insert into Object JSON path: json Object/Array index: frequency Value Type: JSON/XQuery Value: fme:get-attribute("frequency")This time the result was a key frequency with a value of null. How do I resolve this?

I have point feature with duplicated and sometimes tripiclated or more. But for each point we may have the attributes with different values. My goal is to have only a unique point, but keep all the attributes. So I used the Matcher (with generate list enabled) and then ListConcatenator connected to SingleMatched output. It's work perfectly, I have now only single unique points and I setup the counter option, so I know how many points this single point represents. If I click in one point in the inspector a can see all the attributes and expand the nested list. I have up to 6 list for some points. What I want to achieve is to be able to export the point to feature class and keep all the nested attributes from the list. Is that possible? Will be like expose the nested list.Thanks in advance,Dilson

Hi, I want to remove vertices from polygons that are located on straight or almost straight lines. I used the Generalizer transformer but non of the algorithms removed such vertices, even with higher tolerances that distort the original shapes. Is there another way to do this?

In the past I've always used a Group By with the line combiner to join lines that share a common value. Now there appears to be a parameter called Combine On Attribute - how does this differ from the Group By option?

Hi,I've installed FME Desktop 2018 and have a script that uses DonutBuilder to intersect areas with each others. Before this transformer I have a sorter to sort my areas to get the lowest symbol first. It works OK in 2017, which I just tried on my laptop. The problem in 2018 is that it seems that the DonutBuilder can't handle all the areas that overlap. Does anyone have a solution for this?Regards and thankful for help!/Ann

My workspace has a python startup script which calls a REST API and downloads and saves a zipped file geodatabase in zip file called out.zip. The zip file is then unzipped into a Downloads folder. However, because the zip file also contains a folder, and the folder name changes each time (out of my control), I don't know where the final file geodatabase will be located.For example, when I run the code, the location will be something like this:...\Downloads\20181018\QSC_Extracted_Data_20181018_103130077000-7024\data.gdbThe next time, the location will be:..\Downloads\20181019\QSC_Extracted_Data_20181019_111958123000-8024\data.gdbIt's that folder right above the data.gdb which changes.My workaround was to have a python scripted parameter which searches the date folder (20181019) for a file named data.gdb and return the path. However, it seems that the python scripted paramter is run at run-time prior to the download of the file geodatabase and so, when the translation begins, it can't fi

HelloI am trying to download multiple records using HTTPCaller from a API endpoint. I need to get all records updated in last 7 days. I plan to schedule to run this on daily interval.I have used a query to get the max date and passing it to get recent data. The issue is that the API only allows 1000 records at a time. One has to set an offset start at 0,1000,2000 etc to get additional records. I dont know the number of records updated until i query all of them 1000 at a time. What is the best way to loop the Httpcaller and automate it so when i run it all records that were updated in last 7 days let's say it is 1800 are downloaded.Unfortunately I cannot share the API details.

When I try and perform a backup using the ‘Backup to Download’ option in the FME Server Web UI (v2018) it says the process failed but when I look at the log file there are no reported errors and in History the status is marked as success.
