If you execute the attached workspace... You get fme_text features with empty fme_text_string (but TextString has a value). Any suggestions? 

Hello. Could someone advise? I have an airport runway and for each runway I have a runway threshold coordinate - start and end. I also know the length and width of the runway between these runway thresholds. I would need to graphically create a polygon that will create the correct visualization for me based on these input attributes. The output format will be a shapefile. The dates of each runway are several times, because depending on the direction from which I land, I have the name of the runway. In reality, it is 2 points of each runway (start and end) and their one length and width. Thank you very much 

I need to make an inventory of the GIS data my organization has. As a first step, I need to make a list of the names of the Feature Classes in each of our File Geodatabases.  Is there a way to extract a list of the Feature Class names (not the attributes or schema) from a File Geodatabase(s) to Excel using FME?  I know how to do this in python in ArcGIS Pro, but given I am relatively new to FME, I thought I would try it in FME.

I have a file of polygons and need to generate a list of which are adjacent to each other. I tried the spatialrelator tool and selected the 'touch' parameter but that didn't work for me. I then read a few posts on this forum and decided to buffer those polygons (only 10 ft) and then run the AreaOnAreaOverlayer to generate a list of overlapping polygons. I selected the Merge Attributes option and the UID column within the transformer so that the output included the UID of the main polygon and the UID of each polygon that is adjacent/overlaps that polygon.  The tool works with one exception: the formatting of the merged UID column. It keeps adding brackets { } in the column name. I can't find a way to remove those from the default name value within the transformer itself. I can change the column name in my output file to remove them, but then the transformer will not allow me to manually connect the transformer column to the new name column in my output file (which I'

Hi, I have 2 sets of data one line and one point set. I have snapped the point set to my lines and aggregated them by their highway name. I need to remove the first and last point that falls on each highway. Unfortunately, this is where I come up short on ideas. I have tried using a Neighbor finder and snapping the last points to their closest neighbor, but as my road data overlaps, this causes an issue of points snapping to points on other roads.   Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi everyone. I've a folder with JPEG. I have a XLSX file with the name of the JPEG name and the new name that i need. It's possible to remane the JPEG in Batch ? Thank for help.

Hi All, Does anyone have experience installing ArcGIS Server with ArcGIS Server Basic license on the same Windows Server hosting FME Server? Do I need to complete our ArcGIS server Setup Wizard? Or as long as I have ArcGIS Server installed with ArcGIS Server Basic license...I am ready to have automations accessing enterprise level SDE and read/write data from our enterprise GDB without creating a new site? or do I need to "Join Existing Site"? Please help :)  Many thanks,Reno 

Hi guys i just need to find a way to identify the areas on a dataset which is not covered by each of the field values from another dataset..  I also need this inspection to be done by one of the fields. e.g. my input layer A needs to get scanned through to find out areas not covered by Layer B. but on layer B there is a field and each field value will need to be scanned separately and identified at the output.. Im trying clipper - outside - group by attribute but doesnt seem can give me the output i need.. Thanks!

If I reinstall FME flow software, can same license file be used again even this is a trial flow license? According to the licesne request file machine code is generating diffrent value. Do I need to request new trial license file if reinstallation is in place? Is it applicable for permanent license also in case of any reinstallation is needed? Please advise.

I wanna be able to define a global python function (perhaps in the startup scirpt?) like this:def dosomething(number)new_number = number + ... doing something with itreturn new_number then, en would like to reuse this global function many times at different moment in my workspace on many different attributes that has to go through the same treatment. During the workflow of data_a, I'd call a pythoncaller this way:newNumber = dosomething(feature.getAttribute('num_1'))feature.setAttribute('num_1',newNumber)newNumber = dosomething(feature.getAttribute('num_2'))feature.setAttribute('num_2',newNumber) During the workflow of data_b, I'd call a pythoncaller this way too:newNumber = dosomething(feature.getAttribute('num_a'))feature.setAttrivute('num_a',newNumber)newNumber = dosomething(feature.getAttribute('num_b'))feature.setAttrivute('num_b',newNumber) I tried the same using a pythonCaller inside a customTransformer, but

HI all, does someone have (or has someone had experience with this):JPEG reader: `C:\\Users\\USER1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\wbrun_1699971545629_16788\\fmetmp_4\\ImageFetcher1699971789428_20972' exists but could not be opened.

Hi, I have a CAD file with 1000 polygon, 500 out 1000 are shifted 0.2m. I want to keep only 500 regardless of the shifting. please advice. thanks

I have a 3D dataset of lines several lines contain large spikes - like the one in the screen shot and attached template. I tried using the SpikeRemover but it doesn't seem to work - Does the Spike remover just not work on spike in the Z direction - the documentation doesn't really help identify why it doens't work?  Failing that is there another way to remove points like the (z points which are about 100 meters off from the expected position). I started going down the line of extracting coordinates and trying to identify them that way but it seems like there must be a better way

I have a long workflow that transforms some DWG (for buildings), GeoTIFF (for terrain) and FBX (for trees) in 3D datasets (IFC, OBJ, FBX, glTF). The whole process takes a bit more than a day because it's on a quite huge input dataset. The output is fanned out based on a 500m x 500m grid.When I was testing my workflow on a smaller dataset, it worked fine on the four different file formats. Now that I tested it on a bigger dataset, it only works on the file based datasets (IFC and OBJ). The workflow is still able to write the first part (terrain) in the folder based datasets (FBX and glTF), but as soon as it starts writing the buildings in the all ready created fanned out folders, I get an Access Denied (that I didn't get when I was working on smaller datasets).Does anybody have any idea why ?

In Manage Schedules, there is a column named "Total Runs"; this tells you how many times a Schedule has been run; is there a FME Flow Setting to have a particular Schedule "auto-refresh" the Total Runs at a specific interval? Currently, to view the total runs a user needs to refresh the page or step out of and back into Manage Schedules.  

Here i have some Lines extracted from DWG and thought i set them to the correct projection. all seem right except for one file that is way off "Asbuilt - Sewer Existing" I noticed that the autocad_origion x,y are the correct extents but the geometry have different xy coordinates. any ideas on how to set this correctly would be appreciated. Many Thanks! 

I'm looking for some advice to get me started on creating a workflow. I'm an intermediate FME user but this problem has got me stumped! I'm dealing with roughly 100 areas that require tree planting. Each planting area will be a different size depending on the environment. Once each area is planted, we need to monitor 20% of the area to determine the success rate. The monitoring plots are 10 x 10 metres, so area of 100 sqm. The plots need to be placed at random and I need to find out how many monitoring plots can be fit wholly within a planting area where the total area of the plots is at least 20% of the total planting area. For example, if the planting area is 3000sqm, I would need to assign 6 x plots.20% of 3000 is 600. 600sqm would be 6 x plots. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have a workspace where I am using the Emailer Transformer.  What is the best way to send a single email based on reading a list of 5 email addresses in an Excel Spreadsheet? Would I still use the Emailer Transformer? I am thinking there are parameters I need to change in the Emailer?

Hi,  I have just signed up with an FME account in order to access the FME Academy. When I follow the links through the Academy I end up at a SalesForce specific TrailHead. Foolishly, I created an account there to see if that would give me access to the Academy. Is the Academy functioning at the moment? Thanks,Chris

Hi, I have a couple of queries, I will try my best to elaborate. I am transforming to DGN cell to CityGML.1) How do i ensure, that exterior rings are counter-clockwise, and interior rings are clockwise? I am using the Orientor Transformer, and setting Let-Hand-Rule, however, on surfaces, i still see (from using Inspector against the CityGML) that the polygon is right-hand rule.2) When viewing the resultant CityGML in Inspector, it is showing the wall surfaces rather strange..... some are rendered as exterior (solid) representation, some have the interior (dashed) representation.Does it matter that FME represents it in this way? or does it actually mean something? is it related to point1? These are shown as right hand rule (i want left hand rule).Thanks,Steve

I'm wondering how to use the Python Caller transformer to run the arcpy.RepairGeometry_management geoprocessing tool. I'm working with some input File Geodatabase data that's getting re-projected and producing self-intersections. The Geometry Validator transformer is identifying these but not repairing them (i.e. they come out the Failed port, not the Repaired port). I confirmed that using ArcGIS Geoprocessing tools on the same machine fixes the self-intersections, so I wanted to use the Python Caller to do the exact same thing in the context of the FME Workspace. What I'm getting is a generic error though, see below. Maybe my syntax is incorrect but I've tried a few different ways and haven't had success. Any help would be appreciated! Python Syntax:import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport arcpy # Template Function interface:# When using this function, make sure its name is set as the value of# the 'Class or Function to Process Features' transformer parameter

I believe currently each FME Flow engine only uses one core per engine. Meaning each workspace that is being ran is only utilizing one CPU core. My question is does this also apply to Python ran through a Python Caller in the workspace when being ran in FME Flow? For example, I have a Python caller running an Esri tool and set the parallel processing of the tool to be 5 (meaning the Esri tool will use 5 cores). Does this mean the Python will use all 5 cores? Or does FME Flow still limit the Python from only being able to use one core?

Hi All, I'm putting together a workbench to run a multi criteria analysis (MCA) based on a hierarchy (hierarchy level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc). The conditional values in the Attribute creator will help me with that. The problem is that some of the values of the hierarchy need to the next level of the hierarchy . Here is the hierarchy that needs to be followed:  - Hierarchy Level 1- Hierarchy Level 2- Hierarchy Level 3 o Exception A : Any record in level 3 is ‘No main habitat’ will go to level 4 in the hierarchy, if level 4 is empty then goes to level 5, if level 5 is empty then goes to level 6, if level 6 is N/A then goes to level 7.- Hierarchy Level 4- Hierarchy Level 5 o Exception B:  Any record in level 5 is ‘Individual Tree’ then goes to next level 6 in the hierarchy, if level 6 is N/A then goes to level 7- Hierarchy Level 6 o  Exception C: Any record is N/A then goes to next level 7 in the hierarchy.- Hierarchy Level 7 The following screenshot shows the conditional statement for
