Hi All, I’m struggling to explode/conver the fme_aggregate to fme_polgon. I have already used 2DForcer and GeometryCoercer already, settings in the screenshot below:This comes from a DWG file and I need to create the outline boundary as AOI,Any ideas?

I have a dataset of features that I'm trying to insert in a Postgres (pg14) database. That data has a number of text columns that together make up a "report name" plus a timestamp. The name and timestamp together make up the primary key of that dataset. There are also some more columns that contain the actual data. The table I'm inserting this in currently has 800 million rows, and I'm inserting in batches of around 50k rows about a hundred times a day, so keeping indexes small is important. Given the above situation, the text columns from the "report name" have been put into a separate "dataset_reports" table" (~60k rows); with the timestamp and actual data being stored separately (with a foreign index) in their own heavily partitionned "dataset_reports_data" (~800M rows) table. In order to insert data in that table, I need to upsert dataset_reports with all the unique report names in my feature set in a first pass, then get the FK value for all these reports and then I can insert the

Hi Community, I am using some SQLExecutors in my workbench and the this is taking so much time to execute. Is there any way I can execute it faster. Is it because the statement going from fme to outside db and execute it in batches of 1000 and commits the edits making the whole delay?. Is it possible to execute the whole sql actions using a plsql script and bind it to fme?. I may also need to have logs or exception tables for plsql script. Is it possible through fme?

Hello! I have recently started working with FME Flow. I’m just testing the possibilities of writing to the Fme flow temporary resource directory, which causes the translation to fail immediatly. My script is just a reader, which in this case is reading from a shapefile, as well as a feature writer. The featurewriter is set to write to [FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP] and the response i’m getting when running the workspace is this:  Has anyone encountered this before, and is there any hope for me and my workspaces in FME flow? Thanks!/Alex

We have FME 2022 with floating lic, with 2 editions, Database, and ESRI.   Would like to install FME Form 2024.0 along side FME 2022.  I know at some point Safe did away with Lic Editions, any idea if we can use the same  FME 2022 lic file and make it also work for FME Form 2024 ?  .

I have a workspace in FME Form 2021. It includes an Automation Writer. This writer writes keys from FME Form to my Automation in FME Flow 2021,  Given this is the 1st time I have pushed FME Attributes into an Automation as Keys, just being curious, I clicked on the “View Written Data” icon in the Automation Writer. It gave some errors and a new windows opened with red in the parameter boxes. It would seem wise to disable this icon when a Automation Writer is chosen. Are there any plans to do this? This does not impact my workspace or Automation. It just seems a bit annoying, unless I am missing something? See my screenshots for a better illustration of what I see happening:  

Hi everyone. I am reading data from an Esri Geodatabase. I have an issue with the Shape area reading as negative values. I have tried the geometry validator with Area Orientation set to “right” as with “Allow Left” and “Check doughnuts only” does not deliver any repair results. After the feometry validation, my repaired results still contain the negative area values. Negative values after geometry validatorIs there another way of solving this, I know the issue can be resolved in ArcMap wit geometry repair is there a similar way of doing this with FME?

 Hi, I am having an issue with feature readers and XML. I have a process which downloads an XML file from an ftp site, and the file name changes daily.  Upon download, I am trying to trigger a second process which reads the downloaded xml, so I can then split it into separate records (hence why reading in as text will not work, as I need the xml fragments). I use a path reader, to get the file name, but when I put ‘Path_Windows’ as the dataset, i get this error: error message  If I choose to ignore the message, and run to the featurereader, It reads in the correct amount of records (59), but the schema is blank. Blank Schema Log Error message   Now, i know for a fact that my xml does in fact, have a schema, because if I hard code the file name in the feature reader, it works perfectly fine. (see below)   FeatureReader with hard coded file nameSuccessfully read The parameters are identical on both.  FeatureReader Parameters  I am at a total loss as to why when I want to put in a dynamic

I am attempting to convert a DXF/DWG file into the IMDF format. Following the instructions outlined in the first and second articles, I have successfully preprocessed and located the DXF file.However, I am encountering an issue at part 3 of the process. The Reader does not seem to be reading any features as expected.The tutorial I'm following can be found here. One thing, I updated the reader format from Autodesk AutoCAD RealDWG DWG/DXF to Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF.Because I could not load module '/Library/FME/2023.2/plugins/realdwg/realdwg.so' .But i do not think that causes the problem.I would greatly appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting this problem. Thank you.   

Hi All,I have created a workspace that reads all GDBs included in a folder (and subfolders) and export a few attributes to an excel file but now need to bring the GDB name (path_filename) into the final output. I tried to expose the attribute to bring it along the workflow but seems isn’t part of the unexposed attributes.I was expecting to see the GDB name as part of the Generic elements (within the unexposed attributes) but the GDB is only in the <Schema>,How can I bring the GDB name as column in the final output (excel file in this case)?<Generic> screenshot<Schema> Screenshot

Hi community,I would need your help to make my FME code smarter and more dynamic. I am retrieving data via API. The problem is that I can only retrieve 100 items per page. I have 6 pages so I duplicate 6 httpcaller to be able to recover all of my data.Wouldn't there be a more dynamic way to retrieve this data without having to duplicate the httpcaller, maybe by looping but I don't know if it's possible on FME.In the first call, I have the information about the number of pages.Thanks for your help

Hi, I have been working on CESIUM 3DTiles generation, but I am facing challenges because the results are not aligned with my intended goals. Specifically, I am unable to achieve the desired mesh quality. The input files consist of a GeoTIFF with a resolution of 6 centimeters per pixel, and the point cloud data is stored in a LAZ file containing over 250 million points. Despite these inputs, the resulting mesh quality remains disappointingly low. I am seeking guidance on how to improve my workspace and achieve a high-quality mesh. 

I am using the FME REST API v4 to try and retrieve all Workspace Apps (and Automation Apps and Gallery apps) but I only get http status code 404, although I see in Fme Flow that we have over 20 Workspace Apps.

Is it a bug? Result:HTTP/1.1 404    NO_RESULT    {"message":"FME Server Workspace App automations does not exist."}    404 This works:$(FME_SERVER_URL)/fmerest/v3/schedules?limit=-1&offset=-1This doesn’t work:$(FME_SERVER_URL)/fmerest/v3/apps/automations?limit=1000&offset=0 

Hi There,After a recent upgrade of ArcPro (to v 3.1.0) I am now seeing this notation in FME Desktop and FME Server logs....Current installed ArcGISPro version '3.1.0' is unsupported. Minimum supported version is '2.3.0', and maximum supported version is '3.0.0'....what does this mean exactly?...do I need to upgrade FME?...on Desktop it doesnt seem to make a difference (I can still successfully run operations), but now some Scheduled Services are failing in FME Server and I am wondering if this is the reason. Thank you

I have a very long list of attributes that I have typed into an AttributeValueMapper transformer. I now want to share this mapping with someone (not an FME user), so I would like to export the source and destination values to excel. I see that there is a button to import to this transformer, but not one to export. Is there a way around this, or doing I have a lot of typing to do?

Hi All,I’m new to process LiDAR data using FME and just received a bunch of LAS files that need to process as DEM (output). I was doing some reading and users sue the _classifciation to classify the data but have just realised that my data isn’t classify as my classification filed is 0? Screenshot below: I’ve also tried to use the PointCloudLASClassifier but the classification is 0 so doesn’t work. Any trick to classify the data and be able to export the DEM?
