Hi,I am trying to figure out how to insert disclaimers/metadata from one folder to all zipped folders within another folder?  My setup involves Reading from an SDE connection, an InlineQuerier transformer to definition query various private data fields out of the data, an Attribute Keeper transformer to keep only the pertinent fields for public viewing before 6 different writers take the data and convert and zip to file geodatabase, kml, shapefile, AutoCAD, CSV, and GeoPackage. With each feature class/dataset being converted into 6 different formats into a single export folder. The naming convention will be standardized (Parks_KML.zip, Addresses_shp.zip, Water_FGDB.zip etc), I need to insert a text disclaimer file into each of the zipped folders. I thought using the FileCopy Writer from this example (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/881/including-additional-files-in-the-data-download-re.html)with a wildcard fanout of the export folder but I am unable to make that work.  Thanks! @tak

Hi all,Is there a way to trigger a topic if a job is cancelled or just send a email? I have a script running in on a schedule with a Running Job Expiry Time. Sometimes my job exceeds this time and is cancelled, but that does not result in a failure (or success). Thanks in advance 

Hello y'all,I submitted a large international airport file to your online IMDF validation portal and I haven't received an error report yet, it has been over 45 mins since I submitted the file. I have uploaded a smaller file, and I received an error report. Is there a file size limit with the online validation? I appreciate any guidance! I am using FME Workbench 2018.1.Thank you!

I have a complex geometry which contains one vertex that I want to remove.The 'offending' vertex is in the first element, the PolylineGeometry(35):The vertext I want to remove:I tried using something like @takashi suggested in my previous post, but obviously the arcs were lost.I would like to ONLY remove that one point (and similarly in other complex polygons) and have the rest of the geometry unchanged. I'm an FME neophyte, so is there a way to do that?Thanks for any help!

I have two data stream, both have count attribute. I would like to compare the count_1 and count_2, if the count_1 > count_2 the set attributes by count_1 go ahead...if count_2 > count_1 the set attributes by count_2 go ahead.Thank´s

I'm getting the most current readings for streams via an xml table provided by http link. I want to make 2 tables of the readings: 1-with the most current readings and one with the history or previous days readings. What I have so far set-up in FME does the job but I cant seem to seperate "history" from "current". Also I need the time format to stay in UTC-GMT in the AttributeCreator_2 (see screenshots). I'm trying to make a live feed map in arcpro of the sensor readings so any help would be appreciated as I am totally new to FME ANYTHING!Thanks!

Hi, I have a Schema Source and Destination in a database and the Feature Type names contain the Table Qualifier (e.g. <prefix>.<table_name>). One one side it is dbo. on the other it is tab.I tried to follow the guide https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1156/dynamic-workflow-tutorial-destination-schema-is-de-3.html but with this same data source you can remove the prefix as an option. With SQL Server it doesnt appear to be possible. How do you get round this?Many Thanks,Oliver 

Hello, My name is Fred from the Netherlands and i have a problem creating lines from attribute values. I hope somebody can help me!In the attached file beschoeiing.xlsx you can see the RD-coordinates (dutch EPSG:28992) of line objects in 3 different columns:Option 1: rds coordinaten X- and Y-coordinate cobined in one feature Option 2.1: rds X: only X-coordinate in a feature Option 2.2: rds Y: only Y-coordinate in a feature (use option 1 or combine option 2.1 and 2.2)I want to create line objects from this data. I think i have to loop through the coordinates, but i do not know how to do that. After looping i need to make geometry (lines). I want the features "naam", "nummer" and "object id" from the excel file attached to the line-geometry.Can somebody help me please?Kind regards, Fred PS1: (i'm not completely new to FME, but i'm not (yet) a super-user) PS2: i hope you understand my english ;-)

My goal is to create a JSON file that matches the following template. I've been struggling getting the coordinates in the linestring geometry property properly formatted. Note the addition of the "tippecanoe" property.{    "type" : "Feature",    "tippecanoe" : { "maxzoom" : 9, "minzoom" : 4 },    "properties" : { "FULLNAME" : "N Vasco Rd" },    "geometry" : {        "type" : "LineString",        "coordinates" : [ [ -121.733350, 37.767671 ], [ -121.733600, 37.767483 ], [ -121.733131, 37.766952 ] ]    }}Things I tried:Basic geojson writer - Writes the maxoom/minzoom property under "properties" instead of "tippecanoe".JSONTemplater - concat('[[',geom:get-points('xy', ', ', '],['),']]')This method works, but feels hackish; it adds quotation marks (") which I remove later. geom:get-text-data(geom:get-name())The second method returns null values. I give the geometry a name with the GeometryPropertySetter, but still returns a null value. If someone can post a working example, I can go from th

Hey,I'm having trouble removing the _ForceDataType from dynamic outputs in the following flow. The input schema is unknown so the AttributeExposer and than AttributeRemover does not work. So in a xml the _ForceDataType and in a shp _ForceData attribute is present in the output of the writer.The origin of this attribute is the SchemaSetter see below and i use the No setting for this option. The output is set on dynamic schema, same as the attributes.

Hi,I'm trying to create a shortest path from point A to B, yet FME is not outputting any path. I've looked at similar questions asked on here, and I've adapted my workbench accordinly, but still no luck.I'm using an OpenStreetMap highway layer as input. I've explicitely set my snapping tolerance as relatively high in the shortespathfinder, just so that I could just get some output. But it didn't work either.Printscreen of my workbench:

Hi FMErs,I have an AutoCAD dxf of 2D contours with elevations at 1m increments in an attribute.When trying to create a surface DEM and points with the surface modeller, the tolerance parameter needs to be tuned to an appropriate value to reduce the number of vertices. Question is, what are the units of the tolerance parameter ?Thanks in advance

I'm trying to compare two datasets by looking at the address attribute string used in both datasets and find the fuzzy matching ratios. The read process was fast and read the 350,000 records in dataset 1 and the 14,000 records in dataset 2 in less than a minute. I then sort both lists separately and then use the FuzzyStringCompareFrom2Datasets transformer. I have been running this workspace all day (about 5 hours so far) and it has only output 288 records. Is there a way to speed this up?
