Hi, This is probably a really simple question. Is there a way to filter out lines which have some attributes in common? For example, i want alle lines who has the same "eindkoppelpunt" and where the attribute is the same, without giving the specific value of the attributes. Is this clear?.

I don't have a GUI to interact with... only command line!

Hello All, I have a .dbf table created in ESRI's UK Productivity Suite - it's simply a table to point to raster files of base mapping, with a field containing the file path to .tif files, an OID field and fields for xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax. My problem is that I want to find and replace the file path with a different path. I have tried this in ArcMap but the file locks and isn't editable. I can't even think what Transformer I need to do a find and replace of text! I'm sorry - it's Friday and I'm very tired..... I'd be very grateful if anyone is able to help. Many thanks, Jane

Apologies if this is a stupid question!The CSV Reader (2016.1 version) presumably scans a certain number of lines to get an idea of the schema, and this is where the Type, Width, etc values come from in the User Attributes tab of the Feature Type Properties.However there may be different values beyond the lines scanned, e.g. longer text strings. Do I need to ensure that the Type, Width etc values fit values in the whole file? I'm writing to a File Geodatabase where I have a Manual definition of the User Attributes, so I'm not using the Reader schema on the Writer.

Dear All , We try to convert anything to Shape file, We have problem with file geodatabase , we upload the file as zip but it did not work , even if we give it as separate files is not working , how can we upload file geodatabase to generic reader format

I have a format, which is unknown in FME. It stores hexadecimals, (I can open it with hexinator). I want to know how I can read it with FME, so that I can start trying to convert it into something nicer! (I have the data structure, so I know what the hexadecimals tell me, but I don't know how I can read it with FME). can someone give me a hint?with kind regards,Ine De Cubber

How can I publish a workspace for datadownload without a writer. (I use a featurewriter or a systemcaller to write the final output.)

Hi I am chasing my tail and this is taking far too long to resolve. I have tried what seems like everything and I can't figure out how to remove gaps between polygons. I have tried snapper and it does nothing. I'm at a loss what to do.. Hoping someone has a simple resolution as this shouldn't be hard but I can't seem to find a solution.

Hello,I am trying to download a small extent of OSM data using the OSMDownloader but the output osm file is empty (except for the header). The transformer generates the following call (which also specifies my bbox extent): http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/xapi_meta?*[bbox=50.83,4.49,50.85,4.51]The download action seems to be successful however because the outcome of the transformer comes out of the Success port.Thanks for your help!Best regards,Olivier

Is there a way to call a pipelined function with parameters and then read the results as a table in FME desktop? I am only interested in non-spatial attributes being used.Thanks in advance...

Hi Folks,I'm trying to connect to the Yelp Fusion API, I read the documentation and it appears to use a OAuth2 authentication. From reading up it should be possible to set this up in FME. Ideally I want to have a yelp connection I can use in conjunction with a HTTPCaller transformer in FME.I tried numerous things but still getting a 404 error. Here's how my current connection looks:All suggestions welcome

After upgrading FME Server versions and running workspaces which have an FMEServerJobSubmitter, the parent job runs but hangs after the child workspace enters the queue. The 'Wait for Job to Complete' is set to yes, shouldn't this start the child process running at the same time?

Hi,I have scoured the knowledge base, YouTube etc. and I can't find an answer to my question. I have a DWG file that contains polygons and associated labels. I would like to be able to make the labels attributes of a file geodatabase feature class. From my searching I've found spatial filter but not all of the label points are located in the polygon in question. Below is one of the relevant screenshots. I only need the Dev Parcel and not the area.Thank you.

Hi,As my alter-ego "lifalin2016" i brazenly proclaimed in a post in June that "I have the multiple OUTPUT tags option covered". This is unfortunately not really the case (anymore).The PythonFactory documentation clearly states, that multiple output tags are possible (as in the "[...]*" notation), but I get an error when using them: "The clause 'OUTPUT PYOUTPUT ...' is incorrect.  The OUTPUT PYOUTPUT clause is already specified". I assume the doc is faulty then.It's then back to a single output + a number of TeeFactory's. I seem to remember this being mentioned by one of y'all at some point, but I can't seem to locate it anywhere :-/Unfortunately my experience with factories is limited, but here's my best shot (using an attribute named "___output_type___" to route features to the output tags SUCCEEDED and FAILED. But no features are output :-(# after PythonFactoryFACTORY_DEF * TeeFactory   FACTORY_NAME $(XFORMER_NAME)_Splitter1   INPUT FEATURE_TYPE * ___output_type___ 1   OUTPUT FEATURE

I see that the frs files created when saving Raster to ffs consume a lot of space. e.g. a 2Mb Tiff file with 10000x10000px results in 400Mb of frs.I tried different compression settings for ffs, but this doesn't seem to influence frs handling.I really would need to keep the frs smaller and wonder if there is any existing or planned possibilty for this.Thanks Michael

Hi all!I want to read an xls-list without the first row to be the attribute-namer. As a result I will have attributes A, B, C, D, etc. I couldn't see a setting for that. Is it even controllable?Cheers, -Maria(I am using FME 2016)

Hi Guys,I have excel table with Road Names. There is a column that contains Names of all the streets and there are instances where they are repeating number of times. I tried using Testfilter to parse out the Roads that I am interested in but it didnt work for me. I am wondering what is the best way to go about doing this in FME.Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

We are using 2016.1 (Build 16492) and I noticed that we no longer have the option to rollback on failure with the AGOL writer. Is this enabled by default or is it something that got removed purposely?

Hi All, I have an SDF file with multiple geometries. When reading in Workbench, I do not find a way to select the GEOM_2D0 column. See scrrenshot.Anyone who knows a workaround?

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

I have a table of data below which I need to copy the property number to the null fields in the other records for that uprn? Any ideas?

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?
