I am trying to select a polygon located in between other polygons. All polygons are saved in the same layer. Either NeighborFinder or AreaOnAreaOverlayer do not provide the result I am after.

Please appreciate if you could let me know in details  

I have made a script that writes data to Oracle database, using FeatureWriter.Before I write data, I use FeatureReader to read number of records. At the end of the script I want to know how many records there are now.I also use FeatureReader for this. The results are always the same as before and after the transactions. It seems that the 2nd FeatureReader has already started before the transactions have been processed. I have tried with Oracle Reader, 2nd connection parameter, SQLExecutor.The results are always the same as before and after the transactions.Also using Triggerer and Decelarator. Something has to happen that the 2nd FeatureReader will 're-read' the table. Anyone has a suggestion ? Thank you in advance ! 

I have a set of features, all with IFMELine geometry, where some are closed and others are not. The closed ones vary between 2D and 3D closure. I can inspect these features and see the Closed propery right there in the Feature Information:(The straight line to the lower left of highlighted box has Closed = No, as one would expect.) So, for every line in the set, Closed is visible in the Feature Information window and has a value of Closed In 2D, Closed In 3D, or No; however, when I then run this set of features through a GeometryPropertyExtractor, all features are Rejected with the MISSING_GEOMETRY_PROPERTY error. The setup for this transformer in my workspace looks as follows:The transformer was working yesterday. Today, it isn't, and I swear I haven't changed anything. (OK, yes, apparently I did, but I can't for the life of me think what.) Am I missing something simple here? (Feels like a "facepalm" situation, for sure.) Thanks, All.

Dear all,  I am facing the following issue - sounds very simple : I have a 2-column table that gives a mapping oldname->newname that I store in a dictionnary inside a PythonCaller ; in another PythonCaller, I need to use this dictionary.So far, I am doing the following : 1) in Python Start-up script, I define a global variableglobal mydictmydict = {}2) in the 1st PythonCaller : I populate a dictionary in the `input`function and then in the `close`function , I update the value of the global`all_progs` class FeatureProcessor(object):    def __init__(self):        tmpdict={}        pass    def input(self,feature):        # do something like :        tmpdict['oldname'] = 'newname'     def close(self):        mydict = tmpdict        pass3) in the 2nd PythonCaller I would like to use this dictionary ; but when I try iterating over the dict `mydict` in the 2nd PythonCaller, it looks empty... What am I doing wrong ? How could I pass the values from a PythonCaller to another ?  Should I put

I would like a PRJ file written alongside the DWG when using a dynamic format workflow. The bespoke AutoCAD writer has a setting, just looking for how to do with with a dynamic workflow.

I’m currently receiving polygon geometry from various consultants, using various methods for deriving the polygons from Raster’s (GeoTiff). As part of our Data Validation process I validate all geometries to OGC Standards. Which, depending on software used, results in different issues, or not.While working through methodologies, to provide consultants with Software Specific guidance, I noticed that when using FME to generate the polygons it results in a Hole Outside of Shell geometry Issue's see Image below.   We have only come accross this issue in FME, we have used ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS and GDAL/OGR. The ESRI products result in 'Self Intersections', but the ArcGIS Pro 'Repair Geometry' Tool set ot OGR, fixes the issue. Both QGIS and GDAL/OGR are the only tools tested which by default result in OGC Compliant Geometries as outputs.I would like to be in a position to generate OGC compliant outputs from FME, considering we are using FME for our Validation process.I

Hi, we have some problems during clipping raster datasets!So the black area in the example is successfully clipped. But then as result we have raster clipped by clipper. But FME makes the raster square again and fills the missing pixels black. I can remove these nodata values but then sometime black pixels inside the raster are also deleted not only the black areas on the edge! We want to get only the clipped area without black areas. It does not have to be square.Is this possible?

I currently have a dataset, see top half of picture below, that I wish to transform/transpose into the format that can be seen in the bottom half of the image. The blue/green/peach coloured fields are date/measurement.   I am totally unsure of where to begin with this, the current transposer tools seem to only be able to do simple transposing without adding the additional rows of location/sourcetype/date/measurement I need. As can be seen I want to make a individual row for each date/measurement combination.  I have also attached sample data in xlsx and csv. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi When working with full Desktop FME it is possible to set where the log file is written to disk through the GUI (or set it to be a parameter), however when working with the ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension version setting the log file location is not available in the GUI (none of the workspace parameters are). Is it still possible to set where the log file should be written to on disk through a variable or is this functionality removed for a reason? Ideally, I would like to write the log file to sit alongside the data being processed. ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 which uses FME 2016 Many thanks Duncan

Hello, according to the docs, "to view recorded features, click an inspection icon on an output port". I would say that's what I'm doing, yet no features are shown in the Inspector. According to the number on the junction, there should be 4:What am I doing wrong?

I have a dataset that includes 'from' and 'to' values in separate columns. The 'from' column contains latitude and longitude coordinates. Both 'from' and 'to' values are unique.My question is: How can I create a line that connects the 'from' and 'to' values in FME? I would like to visualize the connection between these points using a line geometry.Any guidance or suggestions on the workflow or transformers to use would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!

I have a string column containing lake names in the format ''Blue, Lake'' and I would like to reverse the format to ''Lake Blue''. I somehow can't find a way to reverse a string at the comma.  Is there an easy way to accomplish this using string functions in FME ?

I have a large set of featureclasses that need to be run into a workspace, one at a time because loading the dataset all at once will make my FME workspace terminate because the memory is full. I have used workspacerunner on a folder with multiple csv files, which solves the memory problem. But I can't figure out how to do a simular thing with multiple featureclasses. I wouldnt mind if the featureclasses need to merged into one and the input the first xx number of features into the workspacerunner. If that is even possible.

Hello, I managed, with a PythonCaller, to create a dialog box with a dropdown list of choices, a button opening a url link depending on the selection. I would like now that:1) the choice list be taken from an FME list  (code line 38 below)2) once the coordinate is chosen, by clicking on "button2" ("OK..."), the FME attribute "Choix_adr" takes this coordinate and the FME script continues.  (code line 88 below) I have the following code that works at the list level (but without taking a FME list or defining the "Choix_adr" attribute once chosen) and the hyperlink button:from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysimport webbrowserimport fmeimport fmeobjects class Window(QMainWindow):     # Initialisation de la commande    def __init__(self):        super().__init__()         # définition du titre de la boite de dialogue        self.setWindowTitle("Choix de l'adresse")         # définition de la position et la ta

Hi Everyone,I was hoping to find a definitive guide explaining how to use CI/CD automation with FME. Right now we have very few workspaces and so we use a manual process to deploy FME things in production. We use Publications, Schedules, Subscriptions, workspaces, data files (for passwords), database connections, etc. I looking for instructions to help with following:Integration with a source control like GIT so that we have versioning set upA guide/tutorial that can explain how to automate deployment of all things FME. If something cannot be deployed via automation, I would like to know that as well.Any pointers on automated testing of FME workspaces/schedules once they are deployed in an environment.

Greetings,My Spatial Transformer is not working, none of the records are captured.The ListExploder fails, the error message is: MISSING_PARAMETER_LISTAny advice to capture the List?? ThanksClive 

Hey there. I'm going through the FME academy course on becoming a certified desktop & server professional and I'm running into an issue with the training when I get to exercises. My organization only has FME 2019 since that's what our server is currently running in, which means that whenever I download an exercise the format is for newer versions of FME (2022+, I believe). Some transformers are preserved whenever I open the files, but others are not (AttributeManager is always incompatible, for example). Are there ways to access older modules for the same course that I can use, at least when it comes to the exercises?  Thanks!

Hi, If using the ESRI ArcGIS Portal (web connection using single sign on) reader. If your password changes on your account does this mean the reader will fail unless you re-authenticate or will no action be required?

hi, how to round values, for example: 5.1 = 6, 7.8 = 8 and so on... Thank´s

I try to make a custom transformer to do linear referencing of point features to a maximum of 10 polylines. Inputs are point features and polyline features with or without measurements. The custom transformer would output a list with the combination _kp{0}.KP, _kp{0}.DCC, _kp{0}.selectedRoute. The KP is the distance along the polyline, DCC is the perpendicular distance to the polyline (negative values on LEFT side of the polyline, positive on the RIGHT side), and selectedRoute name is the name of each polyline. At the end of the custom transformer FME shows the list being created for each feature, but it can not be used in the attributemanager following the custom transformer.
