Creating CityGML hierarchy

Hello, I have one question regarding conversion 3D city from SHAPEFILE to CityGML.I have more classes of objects (vegetation, cityfurniture, buildings, ...). I would like to ask how can I follow the structure of creating _AbstractClasses in FME workspace? How can I create abstract features and use them as gml_parent_id in those features which are in the hierarchy down below? Thank You Michal

Can you generate an FMERGB24Tile from an FMERaster?

It would seem that Tiles can be made of complete RGB-data (FMERGB24Tile for instance), but the getTile() method seems to be available from FMEBand only, which in turn will only contain a single color channel, as generated from FMERaster.getBand(). Is there some elegant way to generate an FMERGB24Tile from an input raster?

FME Server with OS authentication type Geodatabase connection

Hi,Does anyone know why FME server is unable to handle an SDE connection file with OS authentication? I have several FME desktop workspaces using OS Authentication and I publish it to FME server and run my FME Job Submitter service. I also have the conection file uploaded, but somehow during translation it fails to utilize/recognise the SDE connection which is setup with OS Authentication. On the other hand, the windows server where FME Server is installed has ArcGIS Desktop installed too and I am able to connect to the database using the OS authentication SDE connection file.

Custom SECURITY_LOGIN_TYPE

Documentation for SECURITY_LOGIN_TYPE in FME Server 2016 says:"Identifies the authentication (login) method to use: database, activedirectory, or custom"What does "custom" mean? We would like to user Active Directory AND database authentication if possible. This would allow us to create users with passwords that don't expire, unlike with Active Directory account.Thanks

Question about reading and writing the same XML

Good morning.I have the XML file of an ATOM feed. That XML has to be updated every time the resources provided by that service are updated. Several dates must be changed.My first approach is read the XML with the XML reader, calculate the current data, modify the XML using the XMLTemplater and wirting the same XML file using the Text File reader (with "Overwrite" set to YES)..The process reads the C:/ATOM_feed.xml, edits it and writes the file C:/ATOM_feed.xml.This doesn't work:"Error opening dataset 'Text File' for writing, ensure that file path and permissions allow for writing".I guess it makes sense.So, in order to avoid this, I have used "Creator" to create a feature with an attribute "join" set to "A". I have added the same attribute to the feed from the XML Reader and I have perfomed a Merge using "FeatureMerger" (Requestor = new feature, Supplier = XML). That way I can read and write the same XML file. The

Adding Hotlinking into a MapInfo table file

Hi all, This might be completely in the world of fantasy! I've programmed FME to produce a MapInfo table (using MFAL writer) containing points at 25m intervals along road centres (using Ordnance Survey's ITN data), each point contains a URL including Long/Lat coordinates so that I can invoke Google Street View. In MapInfo, I need to add the Hotlinking capability after FME so that the URLs can be read and linked to. I've looked at the tab header file (in Notepad) and it seems to need a few lines of code at the bottom of it. I was thinking, could I program FME to add this automatically? Has anyone thought about this before? Perhaps this is beyond the use of FME. The closest way I could think of would be to create a text file and write the specific text to it then replace the actual .tab file component in Windows Explorer but it wouldn't be a tidy process. Regards, Ian

FME Filtering By Attribute

Hi,I have a FME workbench that uses a HTTP caller to download 350 URLs. I then have a CSV file of 67 URLs that I need to download from this 350. I'm wondering is there a way to use a AttributeFilter or Tester etc. to only download these 67 and not the total number. I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Converting vector grid to raster - unwanted raster cells

I have created a vector grid consisting of polygons with size 0.00027778 degrees (around 30m). The polygons have a value which represents the number of people living whithin it. Naturally, lots of polygons will have zero inhabitants. These polygons are filtered out. I want to convert this grid to a raster grid with each raster cell matching the vector polygons exactly. The "missing" polygons with zero inhabitants should result in a NoData raster cell.I'm feeding the polygons into NumericRasterizer, using the exact same cellsize as with the polygons. It seems that what I'm trying to do is possible. However, in the northern parts of my grid, there are raster cells which should be NoData, but instead they have taken the value of the cell above it. The image shows comparison of polygons (red outline) and raster cells:In the northern part of the image, all raster cells have a "twin" directly below them which should be NoData and thus invisible. Everything to the

Hi,Yet another newbie here.I am just wondering if its possible to change writers output in some quick way (drop down list, etc).let me explain... I have an excel spreadsheet and 13+ feature classes (ArcGIS 10.3.1) I am using FeatureMerger to join the table with every single feature class (not always basing on the same common field). So far so good, it is working fine but sometimes i need to change an storing location, eg. output1: local test area, output2: internal server (SDE), output3: external server (SDE). How to change the output locations all at once. At the moment i have 13 writers and i don't want to change each of them every time and i don't want to create workbenches for each of the potential outputs. How to do that? Thanks,

Using a calculated Private parameter as path to a Data Reader

I'm having some difficulty trying to use a private parameter as a path for a Data Reader. The difficulty stems from the fact that the value in the parameter is not literal but is calculated at run time (based on date). The parameter name is SourcePath and its value is a concatenation of a literal string and two other private parameters, which are based on a date. At runtime the value in SourcePath would look something like this:P:\\GIS Development\\Vicmap_Downloads\\2017\\20170606\\The workspace itself is very simple, consisting of a Directory and File Pathnames Reader, and a corresponding File Copy Writer. The reader obtains a listing of files in the directory, as specified in the SourcePath parameter. It then supplies this list of files to the File Copy Writer to perform the copy/paste. If I set the Data Reader folder path to a literal string then the workspace runs fine. However this is not workable as the path must be determined at runtime because it's based on current

Can you assign a priority when publishing a workspace to FME Server?

Hello FME-community, I want to upload a workspace to FME Server and ensure this workspace always runs with a default priority of 50.Is there a way to set the default priority when publishing the workspace to FME Server?ORCan you change the default priority of workspaces once they are published at FME Server? I know you can assign a priority when launching a workspace by the FMEServerJobSubmitter transformer, but this is not my intention in this case.

Reading XML embedded within SOAP response

Hi all,Whilst I'm relatively familiar with the basic functionality of FME a recent project has required me to get involved with SOAP web services. Having read some of the online documentation I've managed to setup a work space to contact the web service and receive a response (using a Creator, XML Templater, HTTP Caller and XML Formatter).I've successfully setup a work space to read in NHS local services and using the XML Fragmenter have exposed the attributes from the SOAP response under the ServiceTransferObject element.The NHS the response was cleanly structured (example below):...but the response from a 3rd party web service appears to be structured very differently.

FME 2017.0 Emailer issue: C125117 (PR76958)

Hi @NatalieAtSafe,From this Q&A;: SMTP errorThe issue has been filed as C125117 (PR76958) and I was notified that it has been fixed in FME 2017.1 Beta already. I confirmed that the original issue has been resolved in FME 2017.1 Beta with Python 3.5, but the fixed Emailer newly causes this error when running with Python 2.7. I think the error apparently indicates that the implementation of the Emailer in FME 2017.1 Beta doesn't conform to Python 2.7 specifications.Emailer: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode Nearly two months have passed since I reported the error above, but it has not been resolved yet in the latest Beta build 17498.Could you please check the current status of the PR?

Simple polygon Spatial Join which can add Mode of numaric field

In FME there are more then one possibility of Spatial joins for the polygons and I have tried all.I have two polygon shape files, one is source and other is target.From source file (which includes some numeric fields) I want join data to target polygon where both polygon layers intersect. For text field this is not a problem but what I am looking for is a Spatial Join which can also add Mode of numeric field to the target layer.
