Spatial Tolerance

I have 2 datasets one has been loaded into a enterprise database and then exported with the object_id of the enterprise database. I am trying to spatially join this object_id back to the original data. The problem I am having is that the process of loaded and then exporting the data has changed the coordinates slightly. See images below. I am wondering if there is any way of manipulating the coordinates of the features (ie truncating some or all of the digits after the decimal) So that I can use the spatialrelator with the EQUALS test. I have some polygons that are with in polygons so buffering and using WITHIN as some other posts have suggested would not be ideal.Polygon APolygon B

writing csv-file, unwanted type conversion

Hi,I am facing a problem while writing into a csv.file:FME converts the string '2-4' into 02.Apr., no matter what field type is set.E.g. '17-19' remains as it is since it cannot be changed to a date Format.Is there any smart Workaround or do I have to avoid/replace these strings?

WIndows Authentication on FME Server 2017

HiI'm having trouble using connections to SQL Server since upgrading FME server to 2017. I'd like to use windows authentication, and got this working on 2016.1 by changing the account that one of the FME services ran as (using a service account), and giving that service account access to my database. I've tried this in 2017 and it doesn't seem to work - it stops various parts of FME Server from working properlyAlso I can't seem to find any documentation for FME Server 2017. Is there any?ThanksAdam

Counting features based on difference in line overlay

Hello,Im new to FME, I can't find the solution to this problem in the knowledge base.Im trying to count the purple horizontal lines in the picture as following: 5, 10, 15, 25 etc. I think this can be achieved with the counter transformer.But when the underlying vertical line feature changes the counter has to reset. Any advice would be of great help.

problems reading layers from ArcGIS Server Feature service, getting Python exception

Hi,I´m trying to extract data using an ArcGIS Server Feature service reader which is going okay. For some of the layers I´m getting the following error:Python Exception <UnicodeDecodeError>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe5 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)I´m guessing the problem relates to some characters in the tabel of the layer which can´t be read by the ArcGIS reader? Or could the problem relates to the transformer being programmed in Python 2 instead of Python 3 (which i´ve been told is handling encoding-problems better)?I only need the geometries (and the layer names), so is there a way for me just to be able to read the those?If that´s not possible is there a way for me to encode the tables so that I wont get the error-message?Thanks in advance :) Christian

Problem with OBJECTID clash when writing FGDB

Hi - I'm reading in one Esri File Geodatabase using the ArcObjects Reader (not the open source API reader) and writing out another with a subset of the data in it. The Writer uses a 'Reader as a Resource' to control the schema dynamically and also uses an empty Geodatabase with the same schema as a template file, to ensure that featureclasses that are sent no features by FME still exist (but are empty) in the exported FGDB.My problem is that I am getting a warning that I can't engineer out of the process:WARN  |User field name 'OBJECTID' conflicts with value of feature type parameter 'Object ID Field' ('OBJECTID') for table/feature class 'd_y_n59'.  User field will be ignoredThis appears for every featureclass I'm trying to write, so 105.I know that the incoming data has the OBJECTID and I know that the FGDB needs to create it. On my dynamic writer the FeatureType sets the field and the alias to 'OBJECTID' by default. I'm pretty confident that the result is good, even with the warnings

MySQL date/time field

Hi,I'm writing data to a MySQL (non-spatial) database and have some problems getting datetime fields filled. Checking a sample table in phpMyAdmin shows the date format to be ^Y-^m-^d ^H:^M:^S, e.g. 2017-02-28 13:09:00, so I've set up my TimeStamper to output that. But when I write to the database it fails every feature with a message saying it's an invalid format.If I enter the same value directly through phpMyAdmin it's accepted.Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Split line with points but not at intersections

My goal is to split lines when there is a point within a tolerance (i.e. 20ft) but NOT at intersections (they are already split at intersections. I've been using the PointOnLineOverlayer which works great everywhere except at intersections since the points are close to the intersection but not at them. Here's an image to try and explain the situation:Any thoughts on how I can ignore the points near the intersections when splitting?
