Hello everyone, I have a point cloud of a section of a road, and I'm wondering if i can get a front view picture of the point cloud like in the screenshot using FME. I also have the axe of the road if it can help with the direction. Thank you in advance. 

I have a list of lists resembling this structure:sublists = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] When I try to set this "list of lists" into a list attribute I get the following:code - feature.setAttribute('chunkList{}', sublists) error - Python Exception <TypeError>: Could not convert attribute value to a supported attribute type.Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 95, in inputTypeError: Could not convert attribute value to a supported attribute type.Error encountered while calling method `input'PythonCaller_Get_chunkList (PythonFactory): PythonFactory failed to process feature The goal is to have a list of 1000 unique IDs or less to feed into a readerI do not know how many lists there will be ahead of time so I need to dynamically break out the lists into individual lists of 1000 elements later in the workflow which is why I want 1 list of lists to start with.   

Hi, I'm trying to read PDFs and it looks like each character of each word is represented as individual features. Each PDF has thousands of these text features that I need to combine to make words. I'm stumped as to how to string these single character text features together to create words.  I have attached an example below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello. I have a question. In "list_of_fixes" I have a list of track points and some of the tracks have more than 75 points. For tracks that have a higher number of points, I would need to filter and shorten to 75 points. The reduction in the number of points should be from the center to both sides. This means if I have, for example, 81 track points, I will delete 3 points from each end of the list. In the attachment I am sending fmwt, where the list is visible. Some ideas? Thank you very much

Hi everyone,  I have a dwg with autocad blocks which has several layers of polygons, polylines and annotation. I have a workspace to extract and convert these to shapefiles.  The problem I have is that multipart polygons and polylines are being split by the FME reader. When opened with ArcMap or Autodesk TrueView, the multiparts appear correctly. I have tried to play around with the parameters of the dwg reader (entity option/advanced options...but everything I have tried so far has not worked and some of the settings read far fewer components than needed).  Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance! :)

Here is my use case: I have created a workflow that works well and can handle multiple files. However, when I publish this workflow to FME Flow, I have the following problem when I copy and paste multiple files at once: Copy and paste two files at once.The resource or network directory sees the change and triggers the same workflow twice (see https://community.safe.com/s/article/Do-the-Directory-modified-Automation-triggers-support-single-events-for-multiple-file-datasets)The first workflow runs fine and writes all my data to a databaseThe second workflow (which is the same, just triggered a few milliseconds later) fails because of a "UNIQE KEY constraint violation". This is a bit annoying and I am looking for another solution. Maybe if I can run the workflow file by file. But how is this possible with FME Flow? Does anyone have a recommendation on how to solve this problem?*****************Update, 2023-10-26How to proceed, if FME Flow should process the files in a defined or

I have a input data file with a unique ID (BORRHAL_NR) with 2 variables (Date/Granvattenniva). I am using a python caller in a CT to generate a chart with matplotlib. I would like to produce as many charts as unique IDs, and I am using the group by in the custom transformer but even though it produces in this case 4 charts I see that is using all data from all unique IDs in those charts (except for the first one that is actually correct).Any ideas?I am using FME 2022.2.4. (Build 22792)

The webpage titled, "Efficiently Convert ArcSDE to GDB" doesn't provide documentation on how to do that. Is there a tutorial or documentation somewhere on how to convert ArcSDE to a File geodatabase?  

Hi everyone, I have a workspace/server app which has a Data Download service published. It produces a downloadable zip file of the writer results. We a user clicks ok to run the server app and the status is completed, the data download url is shown. I have an Automation however which receives a topic and this triggers another workspace to send an email with the job details (rest api).Is there a way to hide the above data download link URL and still create the url behind the scenes>

In my workspace, I have an FTPCaller Transformer that uploads (copies) files from a folder to an ftp site.  Next step is I want to delete all the pdf files in the source folder from where all the pdf files were copied to the ftp site. I have tried attaching this solution (File Copy - DELETE (safe.com)) after the FTPCaller but the files are not deleted, besides it seems to only delete a single named file. Does not seem to handle wildcards like *.pdf. I also tried FileDeleter FME Hub (safe.com) and it not only did not delete the files, but I was reading it does not work in FME Flow, and I plan to upload my workspace to FME Flow and run it on an incremental schedule.  Should I create a separate workspace that just deletes all the pdf files in the folder and run it after the files are copied to the ftp site? In essence, what is the best way to delete *.pdf files in a folder?  

Hi, I am struggling with one simple task that is extracting information from wms and saving it as geotiff. 1. I would like to use HTTPCaller and ImageFeather to extract geotiffs from wms service https://environment.data.gov.uk/spatialdata/lidar-composite-digital-terrain-model-dtm-1m-2022/wms 2 The URL of the wms should include BBOX=527389,177252,534694,181976&WIDTH=3000&HEIGHT=3000 to minimise the time to read the data 3. The geotiffs should be saved in Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset) Thank you for any help

We are using FME 20222.2 and have created a worskspace to translate an input GML file into a proprietary XML format using a XSLTProccessor. It works as expected.We wanted to add a similar translation to transform an excel file into the same proprietary XML format. However, that requires XSLT 2.0 and it seems the XSLTProcessor only supports XSLT 1.How can we construct an XML based on an XSD and complete the attributes from an Excel file ?Is there some demo/example somewhere ? I didn't find one.

Hi!I have about 8 file geodatabases containing 3-6 feature classes (with different schemas) in each geodatabase. I have a standard set of 4-5 attributes (with blank values) that I need to add to each feature class. Is there an easy way to keep the original schemas from the original feature classes, while also having the ability to add new attributes? Thanks for any info!

I have a workspace that includes two Emailers that send emails based on what file is added to a folder. If a zero byte file is added to Folder A then an email will be sent; if a file that is more than zero bytes is added to Folder A then an email will be sent. It runs good in FME Form, it send two emails one notifying the recipient of a zero byte file added to Folder A and one email notifying the recipient of a non-zero byte file added to Folder A. But, after I publish this workspace to FME Flow, and create an Automation with the Directory Watch Trigger (triggered only when CREATE .... new file is added to the folder) that kicks off the workspace, it sends me 8 emails. Is this a bug with using the Emailer Transformer? I notice that in FME Flow I cannot view the Emailer parameters as I can with other Transformers.  Any ideas on how I can get this Automation to send me only two emails? ​

When the FTPCaller Transformer uploads a file, is there a way to set a parameter where when it uploads the file it actually moves the file out of the source folder and not copy the file?

Hi, I´m using workspacerunner for many process. I would like to see specifically ERROR in each process runned. How can I for save the log with this snipped for each process? Thank´s 

I have an FME workbench set up in Flow that grabs an XML file from an HTTP location - in that application the access is denied and no features are read. This same workspace when downloaded into a desktop workspace and when run with FME Form has no problem reading the XML into features and I can run the process successfully. What gives? Edit - I noticed the client was using the FME Server 2022.2 but provided me with FME Desktop version 2022.1. I updated the FME Desktop version to 2022.2 and now the HTTP requests register 401 unauthorized in both applications so I think this is less about any issue between Form and Flow and more about some nuance between versions... I can still connect to HTTP just fine in 2022.1 on same machine, same creds in a variety of transformers\\readers - but in 2022.2 no dice. Something changed between point versions but do not see this in Issues documentation.

It looks like STAMEN free background maps will be discontinued from 10/31/2023.  Does FME Form automatically show 'STADIA' maps as option from 11/01/2023 for free background maps? Also are there any other free background maps as other options?
